Very deep thoughts re: X-Men: First Class

[corilannam]

Thanks to chelseafrew's shiny new blu-ray player, I have now watched ALL THE EXTRAS on the X-Men: First Class blu-ray.

After listening to all the commentary, I am left with one profound, yet unanswered question:

If XMFC is, as the producers repeatedly noted, Twilight in the '60s with mutants, then who would be Bella--Charles or Erik?

Please enlighten me.

I think that Bella is Erik, mostly because Charles seems like Edward to me - telepathy is the new stalking. Plus, isn't Edward fond of humans and Bella is kinda like 'ick, dnw to be human anymore, ugh'? That seems more like Erik, to me.

Of course, I haven't actually read or watched Twilight.

Yes, very good points! Charles does just kind of swoop down and claim Erik with a big telepathic *chomp*. Very vampiric!
