out_thereI followed a link to this X2 article from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
baggers LJ, and was highly amused by the following
Which Shakespearean character is Professor X most similar to?
Patrick Stewart (Professor Charles Xavier/Professor X) I would liken him to Achilles because in every sense he's perfect, except for one little tiny flaw, which I can't talk about. And he remains, as he was in the first film, brilliant, intelligent, compassionate, adorable, sexy [laughs], understanding, forceful, womanly, manly...
McKellen: [Turns towards Patrick with hand over his mouth] Full of sh-- …
Stewart: No, not full of sh--. But I can say this, he is not quite what he seems.
Cumming: He's gay in this film.
Is it wrong if I agree? *g* And then when they're talking about the comparison between X-Men and Spiderman:
McKellen: I'm attracted to X-Men because of ... the moral basis of it [the theme of intolerance], which I think is frankly a great deal more interesting than Spider-Man, which is exactly the same story as Superman, you know. Nerd becomes a hero by putting on a fantasy frock in front of the mirror; there's nowhere to go with that story. Except to repeat it next time. That's why people like going to see Spider-Man, because it reminds them of their extreme youth. [Cast gasps and laughs at the same time]
Romijn-Stamos: Oh my god! Keep going!
Stewart: "A fantasy frock in front of the mirror"? That's how we all started!
Hee!
