** Made more heart wrenching is when you take into account the actual build up of it. One, its [[TheStoic Cyclops]]. Secondly, earlier in the film, Jean said she knew something bad was going to happen and Scott promised he would never let anything happen.

** Then there's Xavier's reaction to Jason's attempts at mind control. He's in the mansion, notices he has the use of his legs again, and ''[[TearsOfJoy cries]]''. Then he ''immediately'' realizes what this means and calls out to Jason to stop with the illusions. So, naturally, Jason puts him back in the wheelchair the next go-round. ''[[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast Days of Future Past]]'' [[HarsherInHindsight makes the scene sting even more]], since viewers get to see how jaded and defeatist Charles has become in the decade following his crippling coupled with the fact that he's only able to walk again by essentially becoming a drug addict.

* When Kurt and Storm are discussing how baseline humans fear them and Kurt tells her that he pities them rather than hating them, Storm just looks at him evenly and says, "I gave up on ''pity'' a long time ago". She's one of the X-Men, the team whose motto has always been to protect those that hate and fear them, and she has to do it despite being hurt so badly by the world that she doesn't have pity left in her anymore.

* The death of Lady Deathstrike. When Wolverine starts pumping her full of adamantium we're cheering--and then her eyes turn back to brown as she stares at him sadly, and we're reminded that she wasn't really a villain at all, she didn't deserve ''any'' of this. She's just a (probably) innocent woman who Stryker kidnapped, brainwashed and used to hurt people, and Wolverine clearly regrets having to kill her. There's a glimpse of her slowly coming to her senses earlier in the film, looking dazed and staring worriedly at her hands (and metal nails), before Stryker gives another dose of his controlling serum and back under his command.

** Jason's own situation within the film is tragic. His father had him lobotomized and used as a pawn in his scheme to kill all mutants, not even seeing him as human anymore. Despite this, it's implied a part of him still desperately seeks his father's approval. The last words of his mental avatar as it's expelled from Xavier's mind?
