Not meaning harm is so much the road to hell by way of good intentions. And as for Paula, it's a complex story, and yeah... Past demons work wonders.
I'd want teleportation to put an end to my transportation woes. :)
Yeah, it's a hell of a stigma and not entirely comfortable now. But I don't think it was entirely illegal to actually be homosexual - as I said, I think there were certain sex acts which were, but not homosexuality itself, by that time. It didn't come up in my class if it was, and even though it was a sociology class, we discussed a lot of laws in the U.S. so I think it would have.
Good point about the camps deal. I could also use a concept that shows up in a fic set closer to modern day that might still apply involving the concept that as the next evolution of humanity, they're not bound by current stigmas. That might work for both of them, since FC Charles definitely seems to think mutants are superior the same way Erik always declares, he just doesn't think they should curb-stomp the humans because of it.
Good point about Erik. The irony - and the biggest tragedy, to my mind - of Magneto is that in trying to prevent a repeat of his greatest fear, he became the thing he hated most. And I don't think he ever realized it. Hence Charles in my fic saying as much. Here's what I have: "But if you kill them now, before they've had a chance to make an informed choice, if you start with them and continue with the idea that all humans are the enemy and they have to be fought and defeated, then how is that different than what you believe they would do to us? It's the exact same philosophy, Erik, it's a mindset you despise and yet you're slipping into a form of it yourself. Can't you see that?"
Still debating Erik's immediate reaction, though I do know his ultimate choice with the missiles.
I won't pay another ten bucks to see any film in theaters again, thank you very much. I haven't got enough money to do that.
