**Spoilers ahead**

So a like a week or two ago I caught like about 15 mins of The Last Stand on cable when I was eating, and it was right around Charles died and I stopped watching in the funeral thinking that was the end of the movie.

That triggered me into rewatching the movies (I had seen all of them except for this one and days of future past) so I can watch it along and enjoy it properly, also I felt like I missed watching X-Men so I was like why not, and I also really wanted to rewatch first class because it was my fav.

ADHD break: I was writing this as I let the credits rolls, and the after credits scene came up while i was typing so Injust wanted to say WTF.

Anyways, I watched the first two over the past two weeks (I watch in portions) and just finished the 3rd one, I was unaware that Charles's death was only just the beginning. omg. I was in for a fuckin ride. That was brilliant. And I have never seen a better superhero movie ending. That was fucking brilliant. The whole movie building up to the fight and Eric losing his powers, then jean telling wolverine to save her right before he kills her out of love even though he just told her he'd die for her, but he ended up killing her himself. And then the entire sequence of the world post Magneto losing his powers and Jean dying, smoothly into a park where random people are doing some activity, it seems to be chess, who's that? omg it's Eric, he's playing chess by himself. how sad. his buddy died now he has no one to play chess with. and then you're hit with a Ian McKellen's eye acting, narrating an entire scene just with his eyes, taking us on a journey of an entire range of emotions. and then he moves his finger towards the piece. a perfectly timed suspense pause, and then the piece moves the tiniest bit as the screen cuts out to credits immediately! just as soon as you start processing wtf just happened.

I fucking loved this. And I'm so happy I saw those few minutes to get to me to actually watch it. That was a beautiful journey. I can't believe I had never seen this one before now. This was absolutely amazing. A wonderful experience. And I'm in love with the last 10 seconds of the movie, the cut was just brilliant.

Anyway thanks for coming to my fangirl post.
