He could go back further in order to get Xavier in a better condition (and for an advantage). Xavier and magneto didn't know each other prior to first class so the anger towards him and mystique wouldn't make sense ...why not? didn't he hate them before he got shot? If so, he could've easily got there in time to prevent it. (Also, I don't even remember that movie that much honestly, lol. I just remember liking it). |

Cause magneto was even on the radar back then and Charles is fresh out of college |

Not only does every single element of that movie look terrible... Jennifer Lawrence can NOT act. I know that some of you guys inexplicably love her (my theory? because; boobs), but she is beyond terrible in every aspect of what normally qualifies as acting. The fact that Rebecca Romjin acted circles around her in the same role says a lot. Out-acted by a model. Might be the first time in history.
... of course, Lawrence is a model too. And a rampaging idiot.

Bryan Singer Accused of Sexually Assaulting Underage Boy
X-Men director Bryan Singer is being accused of drugging, raping, and using his power to exploit a teenage boy in a lawsuit filed Wednesday, according to court documents obtained by TheWrap. According to the lawsuit filed in federal court in Hawaii, plaintiff Michael Egan, who was named in a press release by his lawyers, was 17 when he was forcibly sodomized by Singer, among other accusations.
The suit alleges Singer provided Egan with drugs and alcohol and flew him to Hawaii for sex on more than one occasion in 1999 where Singer continued to “anally rape” him, and claims that Egan was not the only underage boy who was abused. Plaintiff has requested a jury trial and is seeking an unspecified amount in damages for charges of intentional infliction of emotional distress, battery, assault, and invasion of privacy by unreasonable intrusion.
The abuse allegedly began in 1998, shortly after Egan was lured to parties at a house in Encino, Calif. where a high school friend lived, the lawsuit claims. The house, known as the M & C Estate, was often the site of “notorious parties” where adult males allegedly preyed on young boys, the lawsuit claims. According to the lawsuit, Egan was a model and aspiring actor. The documents claim Singer told Egan at one such party that “the adults who resided in or frequented the M & C Estate controlled Hollywood and could decide whether Plaintiff's career aspirations and hopes would be realized” and was also present when Egan was warned to keep those men “happy” or else he and his family were in danger.
The men supposedly told Egan they were sure he was homosexual according to their “gaydar,” even though Egan told them he was straight, and plied him with drugs and alcohol against his will and often without his knowledge. “Plaintiff was often forced to consume alcoholic beverages and drugs, and was also surreptitiously administered drugs when they were placed in beverages that he consumed,” the lawsuit reads.

... 15 years seems like an awfully long time to wait. I'm not saying that it didn't happen and I understand all of the shame involved in rape and all of that (I would guess that at minimum 50% of the women and girls I counseled back in the day were rape victims), but somehow I still cannot fathom how you would wait that long to tell someone what happened.

Don't try to make sense of the X-Men timeline. That goes for both Joey and Knight I guess.
Jennifer Lawrence is a phenomenal actor, I've never been moved more by a performer of any kind.
You know that one scene she did in that one movie from that one year? Simply astonishing, a performance of that caliber deserves some kind of award or something.
And that other scene? That brought me to tears, man.
...Yeah.
