Your unpopular/hot x-men takes >:) If you dare hihi
OHH LFG!!! (Warning as some people might dislike what I have to say)
1) (Not exactly X-Men, but it touches the subject since that's what I talk about here)
I'm not afraid to block people who post content I dislike, ex. ships, opinions, or characters I'm not fond of. I simply don't wanna see content I don't like on my fyp, and I absolutely recommend doing so rather than arguing with people/making rude comments. That doesn't mean I ever have anything personal against the person, just don't wanna see their content.
2) I don't usually hate on ships but there is an exception and it's called Rogueneto, I hate that ship with passion (not just bcs it counters two of my otps, tho that's also a huge reason) I mostly dislike it due to it being clear manipulation and grooming on Erik's part, which really sucks because otherwise I really like '97's Magneto portrayal.
3) I hate seeing people post those "Charles said WHAT to a Holocaust survivor??" Memes involving that famous "They're just following orders" speech, was it a smart thing to say? Absolutely not. But I feel like a lot of people misunderstand the situation and characters in that scene horribly, which makes for unnecessary character hate online. (I even made a whole post about why it isn't just 'Charles being stupid' a while back!)
4) I really, REALLY, *REALLY* dislike both Jean and Scott. There. I said it. Burn me at the stake, idc. All versions of them I had so far watched/read have been annoying, and I srs can't bring myself to like either of them. Their marriage/relationship is unhealthy in most versions, and I absolutely despise that Logan/Jean plot line. I'm exhausted from watching it unfold in almost all adaptations with the same boring and borderline creepy plot.
5) Not a hot take but I hate how Dark Phoenix treated most of the characters, especially Charles.
6) Erik having his family in Apocalypse is unrealistic, and imo wouldn't have happened. They should have kept it in his backstory long before he got involved with other mutants and took up fighting for their cause. It makes 0 sense to me as to why he would randomly (after dofp where his hatred for humans is probably at its highest at that time) settle down with a human woman. Sure, that version might not per say hate all humans as much as the older movie's Mags does, but I'm still 100% sure that the only reason we got his wife and daughter in Apocalypse was for them to die so that he can get his revenge plotline.
There are probably many more "hot takes" from me but this post is already super long haha! I hope those weren't so bad, feel free to share your own unpopular opinions in the comments!
THANKS FOR THE ASK, CHAR! ILY!!
