Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class opens in less than a month (June 4th) and today YahooMovies has a new short clip. The clip is called “Magic Trick” and it features James McAvoy’s Professor Xavier and Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique demonstrating their powers before skeptical CIA agents McTaggert (Rose Byrne) and Stryker (you may remember him as Brian Cox in X2, or Danny Huston in Wolverine, though hopefully you blocked that one out). Call me crazy, but I think the old “wanna see a magic trick?” loses a bit of its luster when your trick is turning a hot young girl into a fat white guy, when the same opener in The Dark Knight ended with someone getting stabbed in the eye with a pencil. Pencil stabbings > fat white guys, if you’re keeping score at home.
What’s McAvoy’s mutation supposed to be, over-enunciating?

YOU’VE JUST BEEN PLATTED!
My magic trick is sort of an amalgamation of the two. It looks like a fat white guy and feels like being stabbed with a pencil-like object. I like to shout ‘abracadabra!’ as foreplay.
McAvoy’s special power is making one sock out of each pair disappear from the dryer.

“Pencil stabbings > fat white guys”
fat black guys are better than pencil stabbings?!
So wait the guy at the end who says “…best i’ve ever seen.”, does that mean he wants to fuck another fat white dude? I could be wrong, but i’m positive that’s it.
So worse than X3 or the dreaded worse than Wolverine? Which one will this abortion be?
Will we ever be past the ‘look what I can do/shocked reaction shot’ scene in super hero movies?
I tried to fly X-Men First Class this week-end, but I got bumped back to Avenger Coach
The best part of the trailer is when the teaser for Troll Hunter played afterwards. F*ck is that movie awesome.
I don’t have any magic tricks, but I can do a mean impression of a one-eared elephant.

That’s not magic trick. This is a magic trick.

So when are you going to post the clip where he asks “wanna see a magic trick?”
