awanderingbardI have yet to see the new X-men movie, and it will likely be quite awhile before I do, but in the meantime, here is an adorable interview clip of the Magnetos and Xaviers young and old doing impressions of one another:
I have to say, Fassbender's McKellan is pretty spot on.

It was back in the day, when it turned out Cyclops' dad hadn't died, just got picked up by some aliens and was now saving the universe with them, no big deal. And Xavier got a hover!bumper car!wheelchair.
This also makes me wonder if Erik can lift Mjolnir with his powers.
Damn, that's a good question! I'd say no, since not even the forklift or whatever could pick it up. I'd say it's probably immune to outside influences in addition to direct picking up. It seems to be a bit self-aware. And I don't think Erik is very worthy. As far as I know, it's only ever been Steve who could pick it up, besides Thor.
I can see Erik trying so hard to do it that he's bending literally every piece of metal around him, and the Mjolnir's just like, 'lol, no'.

Mjolnir would probably add insult to injury by having Erik accidentally faceplant himself trying to pull the hammer toward him.

I don't think film!Steve has done it, but I think it would be hilarious for him to do it really casually, like 'oh, I should move that someone will trip on it', and everyone just being '0_0'
Mjolnir would probably add insult to injury by having Erik accidentally faceplant himself trying to pull the hammer toward him.
He'd probably just be so confident he could move it, he would wave his hand and accidentally fly toward it instead of the reverse.

James McAvoy was asked the question if the Avengers went against the X-Men who would win. The obvious answer is the X-Men considering Charles could make them all sit down and take a nap with his mind and Erik would very easily put Iron Man out of commission.
Perhaps Mjolnir would just fly around and knock everyone out since no one can stop it.

The trick perhaps would be to throw it right away, and knock Charles out with it, since Erik wouldn't be able to stop it. Then, of course, you haven't deal with the fact that there are 50,000 X-men who all do different things, which would be a lot of people to stop, and you'd have to suss out who does what and how to make them not do it any more.

I don't know how it would work but I like the idea of JARVIS and Mjolnir somehow working in tandem to save the Avengers somehow. If anything because I want everyone to wake up from their nap to JARVIS saying everything's been taken care of with Mjolnir silently preening next to Thor.

HA, HA, HA!
Hawkeye: Is it just me or does that hammer look smug?

Tony: So, who wants pie? C'mon, we'll buy some mead for Mew-Mew or something.

I need to rewatch the Avengers for fic research purposes. Or rather so I can recall what Tony and Steve sound like when they're talking to each other. Or at each other.

Steve: *earnest, serious, disapproving, surprise snark*

Yup, that sounds like it in a nutshell. Poor Steve. He's so respectful of so many things and Tony just is SO NOT. I wonder if they ever talk at all (I know they don't in the film but just in general) about Steve having worked with Howard.

Date: 2014-05-30 04:49 pm (UTC)I will need Tony to show up at some point in my Winter Soldier fic for logic's sake. I both fear and look forward to writing Tony. Mainly because the longer I plan Tony's appearance, Pepper and JARVIS and DUM-E and others have all decided to budge in.

Date: 2014-05-30 04:56 pm (UTC)Every time I catch up on a Marvel movie, they release two more. I'll never be au courant for fic writing, I fear. I still haven't see IM3, and that's been out for ages. My brother warned me off of it, though. He ranted about it so much that he was here and had to go to the laundromat to pick up his clothing and made me come with him so he could keep ranting.
One of these days I will be all caught up on things.
I'm off to have a wee nap. Enjoy your research and writing! Thanks for being silly with me.

I just think it looks like it could talk with a Scottish accent. And they just like they're having fun (http://01271bfede0954168758-da1041207dde8e2d0a75af6fbedebedf.r83.cf1.rackcdn.com/20050201055436.jpg) all the time.
