And Xavier’s school for gifted students, where they go to learn to become comfortable witht their genetic heritage and be able to move comfortably into the outside world, is clearly a Jewish Day School [in its approach it looks like it's affiliated witht the Schechter network...]

I can forgive that Juggernaught isnt really supposed to be a mutant just for “I’m the Juggernaught, bitch!”

Wolverine is Canadian. Hugh Jackman is Australian.

And (sigh) married.

Doctor, I feel I should point out that the “insubstantial” young lady took on — and defeated — the unstoppable Juggernaut, as well as several others in the big fight at the end. She’s mastered her powers to the point where it’s now a matter of “you can’t touch me, but I can touch you any time I want” — a pretty good metaphor for the IDF, I’d say.

Now for the big question [for all you Israel/political junkies]:

Who would you rather use as a role model: the supervillian who is a camp survivor and whose rationale for world domination is “never again” or the modern american Jewish young lady whose power is to become insubstantial?

Forward lauds Kitty Pryde as a Jewish role model ["Natalie Portman before we knew there was a Natalie Portman"] but I think that Magneto is not that different from Menachem Begin in his philosophical outlook…

Crud. My apologies, Meryl. I plead brain fart on that spoiler. I was thinking of BIG points as spoilers, such as Wolverine and Cyclops’ “Brokeback Mountain” moment, or Colossus getting taken out by Rust, or Angel getting sucked into the Blackbird’s engines. It just didn’t occur to me that I was giving away such a big plot twist.

BTW, didn’t Mystique in the government video look a LOT like Monica Lewinsky?
