Checked out X-Men: First Class last night. My younger son got me into the series. It proved quite enjoyable and did a good job of filling in the back story. was good to learn about journeys of the various characters. How did Charles Xavier end up in a wheelchair? Why did a rift exist between Xavier and Magneto? Why did something more lay just below the surface of that rift? Wolverine made a brief cameo that established his character if it told nothing about his story.
I assume that if one had read the comic books, one would have already understood much of that. But I had not, so I learned a lot.
Still, it wonders me. Which came first? Did the back story exist prior to the earlier movies? Or after the first movies, was a decision made to go back and tell the early part of the story? I wonder. But doubt that I will spend much time wondering. And I won’t view all the movies again and compare them for possible anomalies. I will just enjoy.
See you along the Trail.
