Somedays all I do is watch the sky.
January 27, 2012 | 3335 ♥ |
I don’t know about anybody else, but I understand this reaction completely.
I have one sister and two brothers, and like anyone who lives with others for an extended amount of time - accidental walk ins happen all the time.
It does not, however, keep me from wanting to claw my eyes out any less though.
I know how Charles gets a lot of shit for his treatment of Raven, and this particular scene is mentioned quite a bit, but I don’t see this as him rejecting Raven’s mutation.
All I see is an older brother being highly uncomfortable with his little sister’s nudity. Which is, IMO, normal.
THIS. THIS ALL OVER. I get really annoyed whenever I see Charles getting so much stick over this. I know I wouldn’t be comfortable if my brother or sister waltzed into the kitchen naked, blue scales or not. He is not trying to oppress her mutation, he’s awkward because his sister is stood there nekkid.
very much agreed. Charles is the most privileged, ignorant of that privilege, cocky and self-centered of the mutants we meet in First Class, and he proves that quite often throughout the film, but this wasn’t one of those moments. it was just his brain going, “OH GOD, NAKED SISTER IN KITCHEN, ABORT ABORT.”
It’s also a sign of how much in his mind he actually does kind of view her body as just as human as anyone else’s. Most people (who were fine with her being a mutant) would be fine with her nudity because it isn’t the same as humans. The fact that he is uncomfortable with her being nude regardless of her body shows how he really does view her as the same and loves her just as a brother would love any ‘normal’ sister.
