Why do some believe there is a nobility and graciousness to bad guys? Most are venal, unworthy of their reps. For example, we all hate Mystique (Rebecca Romijn), the toady of Magneto (Ian McKellen). But when she steps in front of him and takes a dart in the shoulder, we think what a nice thing to do. But then we see that she has been stripped of her shape-shifting ability and she ends up lying naked on the floor of the prison truck van. Most of us think, oh dear, what is going to happen to her now? Me, I’m thinking she’s naked. Magneto seems to be surprised at how vulnerable she appears. Then, in reaching out to him (after her most callous disregard for all things not Magneto), he turns away shunning her, leaving her discarded like any other piece of broken equipment.
