X-Men: First Class

Guys, I have so much I need to post. My reviews for Black Magic Sanction and Pale Demon, Kiss of Snow, Etched in Bone and Cheat the Grave.

My total fangirl love for The Good Wife, which I’ve finally started watching. The whole cast is like… I don’t even know. I love them all. More on that later ( Read more... )

The Good Wife is a completely awesome show and S2 is just as fabulous :)

Ahhhhhhhhhh, X-Men: First Class! I LOVED THAT MOVIE, and like you, am a total Erik/Raven shipper! :D It's wonderful to meet another person who loves them! Why is there so little fics out of them? :( Plus, I see you've written Dramione fics! Mind if I friend you?

Oh, I know! I spent hours looking for them. There's a few little ones out there, but not enough to satisfy me. I just want one that I can really sink my teeth into, but I haven't found it yet. I suppose it's early days yet.

Feel free! Consider yourself friended :)

I'm so glad you've got into The Good Wife. It's excellent, isn't it? And consistently so. As you say, the cast are great.

I was on a high after seeing X-Men First Class too, and I went into it with expectations, despite trying to be realistic. Raven/Mystique was totally my entry point into this film as well. I wouldn't say I was a shipper, although I can totally see why other people would be. I could have done with more on the Raven-Charles dynamic towards the end.

It's very consistent, definitely. It would be so easy for this show to be just another boring procedural, but it isn't!

I was very wary about X-Men First Class when I first heard the rumours about it. I thought it was going to focus on Cyclops, Storm, Jean etc. when they were younger and I wasn't sure whether they'd manage to get the cast right. Then I heard it was Xavier and Magneto's story and I thought, God, this better be good. And it was. Way better than I was expecting. Although after X-Men 3, I don't think it was possible for me to be more disappointed.

I loved the Raven/Charles dynamic. I wanted to beat him over the head for his attitude sometimes, but I'd definitely watch a TV show based on their childhood or something. Bet it would be crazy!
