Ahahaha, those two. <3 But, I mean, in the comics he's kind of a pimp. Lilandra and Amelia and Moira, etc, etc...

[mutantjules.livejournal.com]

this this thiiiis, does no one remember all those ladies? (...probably not)

OP, I like that you responded to this logically.

[foxhound.livejournal.com]

Yeah, seriously. I just cannot consider Xavier asexual.

[10littlebullets.livejournal.com]

I totally did this with Doctor Who that one time I swallowed the whole new series in about a week.

Oh hey the Doctor is totally asexual!

He's asexual.

Still asexual.

He's kind of cute this this time around, but nope, still asexual.

Writers, stop trying to tell me he got laid when he is so clearly asexual.

No seriously this romance with a human thing needs to stop.

Angsty and asexual.

God I feel terrible for the things I want to do to this man because he is so clearly--

--holy fuck my screen just exploded with evil gay Time Lord sex.

(And redux: Only into fellow Time Lords. Totally only into Time Lords. Completely not interested in--oh hello River Song I see Eleven likes you just as much as I do. But I thought he was only into--OH. THAT EXPLAINS A LOT.)

In conclusion, being able to adjust your shipping hypotheses in the face of convincing evidence is a good thing!

[philstar22.livejournal.com]

I'm with you. I finally settled on "not capable of healthy long term relationship" when it comes to the Doctor. He has sex occasionally, though it isn't high on his to-do list. He even sometimes dates or whatever. But nothing longterm. I still can't see that. At all. I wonder if it makes me a bad fan that I don't ship him with Rose, Martha, or Donna (haven't made it to season 5 yet, still catching up).

[honestys-easy.livejournal.com]

He's been with quite a few women in comics canon, I believe, Lilandra being the first that pops into my head (90s animated series FTW). I think he also had a son at one point, but I could be mistaken (or said son could've been a psychic clone or a revived dead villain or a million other ridiculous comic book plot devices). Even from the first issues of the 1960s comic, he expressed an unrequited longing for Jean Grey--which, ew, but there it was.

[krillia.livejournal.com]

EVERYONE had unrequited longing for Jean Grey in the 60s, if I recall correctly. Except for the few that requited it.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, you're not mistaken. Xavier does have a son. I think his code name is Legion, but I'm not sure. I do know, however, that his real name is David and he's supposed to have multiple personalities.

[endis-ni.livejournal.com]

Gods, the 90s cartoon was full of win. And even at that tender age I reckoned "Alien Empress' boytoy" was a good career move.

[writerserenyty.livejournal.com]

I like you, OP. The fact you went "...OK maybe I was wrong" is a good response, IMO.

... but yeah, it's hard to ignore the chemistry of those two, huh? I don't usually do the whole slash goggles thing, but this was just.. yeah

[krillia.livejournal.com]

Very much "...yeah". I've never in my life so expected a chess game to end in smut. ^^;

[ms-cucumber.livejournal.com]

It could be that Xavier's asexual and James Mcavoy is miscast and/or playing him wrong.

[(Anonymous)]

That's a pretty weak argument all around, but if OP wants to keep themselves convinced...

[(Anonymous)]

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's wrong.

In other words, cry moar. Sorry the film was too slashy for you.

[(Anonymous)]

How else was he supposed to play scenes where he's making passes at people?

[(Anonymous)]

I think they both come across as completely heterosexual in the film and am surprised they have such a large slash following.

[(Anonymous)]

Their chemistry was the foundation of the film according to critics and fans alike--of course they have a large slash following.

[greatbriton.livejournal.com]

there's more to xavier/magneto than the film's story

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

You can partially blame the actors for that. They've said they wouldn't think it odd for the characters to have a married-like relationship.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think they come across as any particular sexuality in the movie. They just come across as being intensely and completely into each other.

[(Anonymous)]

Given that McAvoy has allegedly said that he thinks a lot of trouble could have been avoided if Charles and Erik got married, I have this inkling that perhaps they were playing it up the way Robert Downey Junior has said he and Jude Law were in Sherlock Holmes.

[june-miller.livejournal.com]

I HATE the film portraits of Xavier and Magneto. They were NEVER good-looking in the comics. I HATE those X-Men films. Man, I HATE X-Men and it's universe. I HATE it's weak metaphor. I despised First-Class. I hope is it's last film. I cannon fathom to read or hear about X-Men again.

[(Anonymous)]

I've almost always liked how has Xavier looked in the books (not so much Magneto), and I thought McAvoy was a decent choice, even though I thought it was a bit odd that they kept his hair intact.

And I hate to break it to you, but X-Men is kind of like Batman or Star Trek: the rabidness will die down, but it's likely you'll never truly escape it. The fandoms are too large and have been around for too long just simply keel over. Trust me on this; I've never much liked Batman and any of the stuff that comes from its canon, but whenever it pops up I don't go around decrying my loathing for the series because I would be wasting my breath. Best to just ignore it and keep on scrollin.'

[(Anonymous)]

uhh, what comics have you been reading? Xavier is sometimes drawn as fairly good looking dude (unless you automatically find older bald eyes unattractive, in which case I don't know what to tell you) and Magneto often gets the Hot Grandpa treatment
