‘well i can’t speak for the others, but it wouldn’t have been much of a life without you…’
This photoset makes me weep into my sleeve. Dear contradictory, brilliant, compassionate Charles….
Thank you for that!

- McCoy: I still look like a monster.
- Xavier: But you are now in the one place where that doesn't matter.
- Can we talk about this for a second? The Xavier institute is more of a home any mutant has ever had. Xavier never denied the fact that the x-gene could be seen as a burden, he just made the x-kids realise that they had to get the best out of it, and they became aware of the fact that the x-gene could also be seen as a gift. Xavier does not deny the fact that McCoy looks like a beast, because he knows McCoy will still think of himself in that way. He just gives the children, and adults, for that matter (like Logan and Storm) a save haven to live in. That's all he offers, and it is exactly enough.

I think we can all agree that Charles looks his prettiest during these scenes and the beach scenes.
Actually I have to vote the Russia scene for prettiest Charles but these scenes definitely have a strong appeal. Tight uniform! Barking orders! Sweaty hair! Yes, I can deal with this.

More about this scene in response to other comments. It got RIDIC long, sorry, I have many thoughts. Also potentially triggering, maybe, for tangentially touching on assault.
I confess I don’t know much about the deleted scenes in XMFC (except of course about the one with Fassbender in drag but that’s another story), but I agree with this post that its inclusion could make me leery of Charles instead of hopelessly in love with him. Charles showing off his powers is one thing-barging into someone’s room or probing someone’s mind in blatant disregard of her wishes is just not cool. However, I still have Serious Problems with the way the XMFC storyline is blatantly skewed in Erik’s favor. I do like Erik, but I don’t want to side with him. For one thing, I still identify myself as a human while watching the film, and while I agree with Erik that humans could be petty and have a long history of oppressing others because of imagined differences, hasn’t he looked at Shaw and realized that mutants could be just as petty and exploitative, if given the chance? Furthermore, starting an all-out war with humans will lead to TOTAL GLOBAL DESTRUCTION, and how could anyone, let alone mutants, thrive in such a scenario? While I loved the way the movie explored how Charles’ privileged upbringing has conditioned his outlook on human-mutant relations and affected his relationship with Raven, the writers really should have imbued more complexity and nuance into Charles’ perspective instead of reducing him to pleading futilely with Erik that they need to “be the better men” in the beach scene. That’s why I’m grateful for fanfiction, in which I get to read about a Charles Xavier who is infuriatingly arrogant and dazzlingly kind in turns, yet capable of ruthless pragmatism in the face of threats against everything and everyone he cherishes.
(Sorry this got long, I just needed to get this off my chest).
