X-Men (film series)/Ho Yay

In the First Class movie: Charles and Erik. James McAvoy wasn't kidding when he called it a love story.
- In a deleted scene, Charles projects Erik in drag (yes, you read that correctly) and remarks, "You've never looked more beautiful, darling."
- Hell, for that matter, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender. While doing interviews promoting the film they sang to each other and talked about how they would fly all over the world spreading love to the hapless populace if they had super powers. And then there was that time with the golf cart.

Interviewer: What is the most common question you are asked?
James McAvoy: How many times did you have sex with Michael Fassbender?
Interviewer: That is the question. And what is the answer?
McAvoy: Four.

- Darwin and Alex (Havoc) have their little moments. There is a scene where Darwin places his hand on Alex's stomach, and just a few seconds before Darwin dies, who does he reach out to? Alex.
- Erik tells Emma that he wants her on his team to fill the "gap in [his] life" left by Xavier.
- There's such a ridiculous amount of Ho Yay in this movie, that by the end it almost feels like Charles is cheating on Erik when he kisses Moira. Certainly the fact that Erik was absolutely devoted to turning those missiles on the Russians and Americans and the only thing that stops him is Charles getting shot, whereupon he falls to his knees in abject horror and forgets the thousands of soldiers just off the coast doesn't help things! And that's one example.
- As blatantly homoerotic as the entire film is, the scene where Charles reads Erik's mind and then wipes away a tear takes the cake.

Erik: What did you do to me?
Charles: I accessed the brightest corner of your memory system. It's a very beautiful memory, Erik. Thank you.

- On the villainous side, the Azazel/Riptide pairing is as popular as Azazel/Mystique.
