It looks like it might be a behind the scenes moment and they do seem like they must be in disguise as Fassbender's costume seems casual. I mean I know things changed a lot fashionwise but it all makes me wonder.
I'm trying to not speculate too much since I fear that will make me end up overthinking the movie, though its hard. I want to go into it hopeful.
I think its a plot thing and no matter what happens, the movie is ten years from the end of XMFC so plenty of space to play only with what we want to.
Though I do think he'll have a period of depression or something close to it after Cuba as he adjusts to his paralysis and Erik and Raven leaving. Its just he's Charles and knows minds too well to stay there for long, a few months perhaps but I think once he has the idea of creating the school, he pulls out of it. He'll always be a little more serious but have pulled through the worst. I have fic ideas for this as I know you do.
Yeah, ten years of depression seems a bit much. I think even Hank would be mostly healed by then. Or at least have accepted things and started to move on.
True and the outfit just doesn't seem like him, so plot thing. I think the big pull for him is going to be the school as at the end of the movie with the school, he was looking forward.
That's very true. And maybe his focusing on the school is what pulls Hank out of his depression and makes him focus on making the world one where Raven doesn't have to fight, which is my head canon for why he goes into politics and the Department of Mutant Affairs.
Thanks. I'm hopeful it won't be too taxing since every artist in my department is being put on the project.
I'm also floating the idea of a fic featuring Hank meeting Carl Sagan and Joshua Lederberg but I don't know if I have the presence of mind to flesh it out well enough.
