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.

Charles is totally Bella. If just because Erik is clearly Edward in this scenario what with all the brooding and lurking and deep investment in his own angst.

Very good point. Although, Bella is also very broody and highly invested in her angst. We may need further analysis.

That is a fair point also. I suppose Erik could be Bella and Charles could be Jacob. I can kind of see it.

So does that make Mystique Edward? She does have a lot of angst over her self-image, and Erik helps her embrace her true nature....
