One of my favourite strike backs at nitpicking is the creator commentary during X-Men 2, when Storm asks if Mystique can shut down the copy of Cerebro from the control room and Mystique simply, bluntly, tiredly says "No." The creators confirmed that they specifically put that moment in to quell any viewers moaning about why the characters don't simply shut down the machine; by stating quite clearly, in-universe, that they can't turn it off. I love it.
Nightcralwer in the X-men films scars himself 'for every sin' perfectly symmetrically on his body. Like, scarrification is not something your average christian does, why are we acting like this random mutant would do this. The scars are there because they look cool, they could have just been aesthetic mutant markings, it's not like there's any reason mutants look the way they do. If they felt adding texture to Nightcrawlers skin looked good on film, just do it, we don't need some 'he cuts himself for every sin'. Who does that??? The film is like 'yeah, self-harm is normal and cool'....
The rest of his potrayal is pretty normal and it's clear he relies on his faith for guidance the rest of the movie, like a normal person, but then they have to bring in this weird extreme element that would not work if he didn't look like a mutant.
He can't just be a practiciing catholic who looks like a devil, they have to make it so extreme.
One of the fiercest advocates for the latest anti-trans bill, Republican Rep. Webster Barnaby, offered a confusing metaphor for what it’s like to share the world with trans people.
I love that since Piotr is clearly a young adult, the students follow him during the attacks on the school because he can protect them, and that's not including that he's bulletproof in his metal form
Did you grow up during the 2000s having a crush on grown men whose fathers are literal demons, have skin tones taken from a primary color swatch, glowing yellow eyes who had feelings for women who could kick their ass and prayed with rosaries or did y’all grow up normal?
