And huh, an interesting idea. Could you do that continuously, I wonder? (I don't actually know a lot about meditation as a thing.) And wow, that sounds like awesome backstory, and definitely a reason for her to be moral. Nothing like your old ghosts to keep you in line, right? And Charles really doesn't have any major mistakes or regrets before the ones we seem him develop, I think. You're definitely right that it's a matter of age, though. And the thing about not meaning any harm is that it makes very little difference to the people who are hurt.
Telekinesis would probably have the least potential for disaster, I think. I mean, teleportation is better than telepathy, but there's always the risk of SORRY YOU TWITCHED WELCOME TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. (Or, worse, fifty feet underground... you're welcome.)
Hurts so good, yes. And I don't know how much it was penalized, but I'm pretty sure it was still technically illegal - and definitely a stigma; hell, being queer can be scary as hell now.
And that's definitely where I would go, but Erik doesn't seem particularly bothered by that notion, as he came down on the side of agreeing with Shaw in the end and admitted it - which was something that really really fucking bothered me in the movie. It felt way too abrupt to me.
I don't much either, but I want to see it again and yet a) am unlikely to get to a theater a second time, and b) am annoyed enough about the political aspects that I don't really want to give them that much of my money. Sooo...

And actually, I was just reading something about that idea, that a Jewish holocaust survivor would feel a certain sense of solidarity regarding queer holocaust survivors, and their commentary was that it didn't really work that way, partly because the two groups (going by how the Nazis sorted them, since obviously there was overlap) had rather different experiences, and there wasn't actually a whole lot of open information at the time. So.
