History Fridge / XMenFirstclass

* Raven's near-instant attraction towards Hank is very natural when you realize that he's essentially a younger, more introverted version of Charles. She's subconsciously transferring her quasi-romantic feelings towards her brother figure to a similar, {{Adorkable}} guy who is much more accessible to Raven as a potential boyfriend. Bonus points for casting Creator/NicholasHoult, who is [[PrettyBoy pretty]] like Creator/JamesMcAvoy (both actors are boyish-looking, brown-haired, blue-eyed, with reddish lips and a pale complexion), which would make Raven switch to her new object of affection that much more quickly.

* When Xavier begs Magneto to spare the soldiers that fired upon them, stating that "they were only following orders," that was indeed one of the worst things to say to a Holocaust survivor of all people, but it's brilliant when you remember that Charles was a telepath for the majority of his life and could always look into people's minds to say the right things to get them to do what he wanted. The only person he refused to scan was Raven, and he therefore often made insensitive comments around her. With Magneto wearing the protective helmet, Xavier has been deprived of a sense that for him is as vital as sight, so when he unexpectedly loses it, he found himself in the position of a man who is suddenly blinded and expected to process visual cues.
