** This is indeed the typical American pronunciation (at least in the case of an American born person bearing the name). If a person from a non-English-speaking country is named Xavier, it can sometimes be pronounced "zah-vee-ay," but it seems that the original creators of the character intend for his name to have the former pronunciation. It's easier to remember that "Professor X" is short for "Professor Ex-ay-vier", since you have the "X" sound at the beginning either way.

* Why do a lot of people in the movies pronounce the last name of Charles Xavier as "ex-eyvier", as if there was an "e" in front of the "x"? Is this how Americans normally pronounce the name?

*** Scott is the team's field leader and tactical expert, his presence reduces the threat level of any scenario. He was taken out of the story in the second movie for the same reason Xavier was, so the team could be fractured, desperate and forced to rely on Magneto's help. They probably didn't think too much about reducing his role in the second movie since they were clearly planning to do a Phoenix story next which would have given him a lot of focus if his actor hadn't jumped franchises.

** Cerebro's just a detecting machine, it's the mind powering that machine that gets most of the work done. Carebro can assist in focus, and expanding the range of Xavier's telepathy, but that's it.

** The point of Cerebro is to locate mutants throughout the world, mostly so they can find new recruits. It can't be used all the time and the person using it can't scan everything at once, people have limits.

* "That doesn't mean they can save everyone or nothing manages to avoid their attention. After all, it took years until they learned about Trask and years for them to learn about everything Stryker's done."...then what good is Cerebro for? Isn't the whole point of Cerebro to indeed be able to save every mutant in danger due to no mutant escaping their notice? If Cerebro isn't powerful enough to do that, how can get the X-Men get any part of their "protecting good mutants from evil humans and from evil mutants" mission done?
