* As shown in the x-ray of Logan's arm, his Adamantium claws reside safely between the bones of his knuckels when not "in use". This means that they actually extend from his forearm and PAST his wrist. So... wouldn't they tear through his skin any time he bent his wrist without popping the claws?
** Why do they have to come through the flesh and skin instead of natural tunnels like animals usually have?
** Maybe they retract all the way past the wrist.
** They do indeed retract past his wrists. He has to keep his arms and hands in straight alignment or the claws won't release. Same thing with his bone claws, he's already got natural sheathes/channels that house the claws when not in use. I seem to recall Jean demonstrating based on the X-rays that the claws end up displacing some of the bones in his wrists before they fully emerge.
Line 18 ⟶ 14:
** I figured he was torturing the man. Notice how the skin on his forehead was reddening around the bullet? Magneto was pushing and grinding the bullet ever so slowly into the man's head, knowing that Xavier would sense the man's pain and terror, and possibly hear his groaning. Magneto wanted to hammer home to Xavier what was at stake.
** Guys, wasn't it Xavier that stopped the bullet? Magneto was the one that fired it, and Xavier was stopping it from killing the cop. Magneto then goes on to say that he could not stop all of them.
*** No. Xavier is tele''pathic'', not tele''kinetic''. He can read and influence
* Magneto let Rogue touch him for several seconds, yet he had enough magnetic power to stop Wolverine from disabling that machine. Later Rogue touched Wolverine for just a couple of seconds but she absorbed his powers and his manners for days while sending him into a coma. It just bugs me that her powers are more dependent on the plot rather than logic...
** Magneto is both much more powerful than Wolverine and has a much stronger mind. Wolverine's powers are passive; Magneto manipulates energy on a grand scale. Wolverine is an amnesiac drifter with no purpose; Magneto is a visionary and a death camp survivor. There's also the fact that Wolverine was actively trying to give her his powers, while Magneto was trying to control her.
Line 50 ⟶ 46:
** It looked to me about half Magneto used what power he had left to put her hands on the machine, and half [[Power Incontinence]] on Rogue's part; since she'd never used the power before and was generally untrained and panicing, she just couldn't turn it off.
* Okay, Magneto's helmet prevents telepaths from entering his head. But why can't Xavier do it at the beginning when he isn't wearing it?
** He does go in. As he himself admits, looking for hope. Presumably he also looks to try to find out what Magneto's plotting, but Magneto's mind is disciplined enough that he can carry on a conversation while thinking really hard about, I don't know, Mel Brooks films. And as to why he doesn't just mind-control him at that
** He did, I assume. That's how he knows where Magneto's sending Sabretooth and why he's able to send Cyclops and Storm to rescue Wolverine and Rogue. And as to why he doesn't just mind-control him at that
* The entire final act of this movie makes no sense at all. Magneto's goal is to cause mutations in the world leaders which will basically force the most powerful people in the world to take a more sympathetic stance regarding mutants and herald a new age of mutant rights. Before he goes to Liberty Island, Magneto knows that the artificial mutation killed his one and only test subject. He proceeds with his plan anyways with full knowledge that he will not, in fact, be mutating the world leaders thus forcing them to change their views. He will be committing a mass murder of world leaders which would of course result in every important country in the world declaring full-out war on mutants. A mutant genocide would most likely not take very long.
** He doesn't ''know'' that Kelly is dead. All he knows is that the X-Men ''claim'' he is dead. From his perspective (that of a visionary megalomaniac on the verge of triumph) that would sound like the desperate lie of a defeated foe. And even if he thought they were telling the truth, he might have told himself that only ''some'' of the heads of state would
** In addition to the previous response, it should be noted that Magneto's response to Storm's claim was "Are you sure you saw what you think you saw?" Although [[Aborted Arc|it wasn't followed up in the sequels,]] it is possible that was meant to be a [[Sequel Hook]]
*** I always understood it to mean "are you sure MY mutation thingy killed him?" because senator Kelly may have used his powers to kill himself. He was disgusted and distraught by what he had become. he even tells Storm she has one less bigot to worry about before dying... meaning he was still a bigot after seeing what he was.
**** No, he told her she had one less normal person to be afraid of. Bigotry wasn't mentioned in that conversation.
Line 80 ⟶ 76:
** Magneto didn't bend them. He pushed them back, and the lightshow the machine was giving off just made them look warped.
* Assuming Magneto didn't kill Senator Kelly and Mystique impersonated him to revoke the bill at the end, what was Xavier's plan for a) stopping the Mutant Registration or b) ensuring that it wasn't abused against harmless mutants? Magneto said "Let them pass that law and they'll have us all in chains". Xavier says it won't come to that; did he have a plan for stopping that? Assuming that he wasn't going to use his telepathy to [[Mind Rape]] Senator Kelly into changing his position of course because [[Mind Over Manners|that would be wrong]].
** That could have just been Xavier optimistically assuming that the US government, even at its worst, still isn't going to go full Nazi on mutants. Of course, this conversation is set ''before'' Xavier meets Colonel Stryker...
