* The scene where Charles challenges Erik to move the satellite dish. Need we say more?
** Even the alternate DeletedScene where Erik sees a mother and child at the airport earlier in the film's time frame is pretty heartbreaking.
-->'''Airport attendant:''' Excuse me. Are you looking for someone?\\
'''Erik:''' Aren't we all?

** She also doesn't try to encourage Erik to move the coin or yell when it becomes clear she's going to die. She just spends her last moments trying to comfort her son however she can, even though she knows it isn't enough.

** All Erik's mom can do is falsely reassure her son that "Everything will be alright." They're Jews in a Nazi concentration camp, reassurance doesn't ''get'' more false...

* When [[spoiler: Charles is paralyzed thanks to Erik]]. It's an accident, but both of their reactions are heartbreaking, especially Erik's heartbroken cry as he abandons the missiles, and along with them his plan and his revenge, to rush to his side.

** Don't forget Moira, either. Even though Charles talked Magneto down by putting the blame on him, she's just as heartbroken and regretful for [[spoiler: inadvertently firing on Charles,]] as well-intentioned as she was.

* The ForegoneConclusion of Mystique's storyline. [[spoiler: She is loyal to Erik for many, many years, doing whatever he asks. Including, in the first film, ''poisoning'' Charles. Then, in X3, he abandons her the moment she loses her mutation and she sells him out to the American government.]]
** [[spoiler: At least in the original time line. After ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' things could be looking up for her.]]

* Erik's reaction to Charles' desperate plea [[spoiler: to spare the Americans and Soviets]] by remarking "They were [[JustFollowingOrders just following orders!]]" In that moment, you can see in Erik's face that he knew that Charles might try to be his friend... but would never understand [[UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust the pain]] Erik had to go through.

clarifying the Erik meets Charles for the first time part


* The first time Charles and Erik meet. Erik's expression and the way he says "I thought I was alone!" was just heart-wrenching. He finally meets someone like him in the world and it's just so emotionally overwhelming for him. This has a double meaning too. Erik has already said earlier in the movie, in reference to the NaziGold he was holding, that his people were wiped out for this, implying that he was the only survivor.

** The way he tells her "your natural blue form will never be considered beautiful." From Raven's perspective, he likes the hot blonde she pretends to be just fine, but he doesn't even ''know'' the real her, certainly doesn't ''love'' the real her. Anyone should be able to relate to feeling that the person you ''truly'' are, at your core, is fundamentally unlovable. . . and Hank just told Raven that in so many words.
