SPOILER: Storyline Discrepancies on Xmen: First Class

Rating: Null/10 (6 June 2011)

1. I find it odd that the young Eric Lensherr did not attempt to kill Klaus Smidt at all after the latter shot his mother (Eric killed practically everyone else in the room in a fit of rage). He even allowed Klaus Smidt to give a reassuring pat on his shoulders.
2. Conti issue: The metal cabinet in Klaus Smidt's office that was crushed earlier became whole again after little Eric Lensherr went berserk.
3. Emma Frost should be able to detect the presence of Moira Mactarget when the latter made an accidental excursion into the hidden chamber of Hellfire's Inner Circle.
4. Moira has always been a scientist stationed in Muir Island. I find it weird that she is portrayed as a CIA covert agent here.
5. Diamond is harder than steel. Magneto should not be able to injure Emma's neck in her diamond form.
6. Actually, Professor X should be able to read Emma's mind when she is in her diamond form. In that form, Emma doesn't have telepathy to protect her thoughts (As long as she has a thought in her head, Professor X can read it - a concrete wall or diamond barrier is no obstacle to a telepath).
7. Did they detain Emma Frost in a CIA holding cell? With her powers - mental manipulation skills and all, she could have broken out easily. She even 'scratched' away a piece of glass in the holding to show how easily she could have escaped. Why didn't she? Why didn't Azazel teleport her away? And she has to wait for someone to come rescue her? It doesn't make sense, a powerful girl like that. And she missed all the action at the beach...sigh!
Believe it or not, the fans are okay that you took creative licence with your storyline - that's fine because Marvel couldn't keep their stories straight in their comics anyway.
I wish you had written the Black Queen into the storyline though. Make her black if you have to, we don't care because she's a very interesting character!
Here's what I think you'll do for the next 'episode'.
1. Mystique and Azazel have an affair and Nightcrawler is born! 2. Moira and Charles got together and they have a reality-warping mutant son. 3. The Black Queen makes her appearance and gives Emma Frost (The White Queen a hard time). 4. I like the 60's set up for this movie but maybe the next episode should be in the 70's (God! The disco music, flared bell-bottom pants, platform shoes, gaudy set-up, Richard Nixon, The Cold War, Vietnam war, space programme]. Hellfire Club in the 70's will be even more decadent! 5. Take some creative licence! Introduce Dazzler as a roller-skating disco singer. Wait, didn't Cher become a major star in the 70's? Get her to play the Black Queen? Ha ha ha...
