Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Charles' hilariously bad "mutations" pickup line. Particularly the second time around. Even funnier is that first time round it appears to be working! What makes it even more funny is that it's basically the same speech that (with Xavier narrating) opens the first X-Men movie, so it's essentially a Patrick Stewart Speech being used to pick up chicks.
  • This little exchange between Mystique and Charles:
Cquote1

Mystique: I'm sleepy, will you read to me?
Charles: I can't. I have my thesis coming up, I have to study.
Mystique: Well fine, read that. Your thesis always sends me right off.

Cquote2
  • When Moira finds Xavier drinking a yard of ale after he had just read his thesis on mutations.
Cquote1

 Moira: Congratulations.

Xavier: Oh, thank you. It's harder than it looks.

Moira: I was referring to your presentaion.

Xavier: Oh, you were at my presentation? How nice of you.

Cquote2
  • When Charles convinces the Man in Black to come with them.
Cquote1

 Professor Charles Xavier: Would you like to see another magic trick?

Man In Black Suit: Yes!

Professor Charles Xavier: [Using powers, gives order] Get in the car.

Man In Black Suit: Good idea.

Cquote2
  • When the recruited mutants decide on their codenames.
Cquote1

Raven: I want to be called Mystique.
Banshee: Damn! I wanted to be called Mystique!
Raven: Well, too late, I called it. *shapeshifts into Banshee* And I'm WAY more mysterious than you.

Darwin: So what can you do, Alex?
Alex: It's not...I can't. I can't do it in here.
Darwin: Can you do it outside? Come on!
Everyone: Alex! Alex! Alex!
Alex: Get down when I tell you. *pause* Get back. *another pause, while everyone backs up, but leans out to look* I said get back! *Everyone keeps watching* Whatever.
Alex activates his power, hurling rings of red energy into a statue, slicing it in half. Cue Jaw Drops from everyone present.

  • Erik has plenty of these, strangely.
Cquote1

 "Never looked better, man!"

"Kinky!"

"More tea, vicar?"

Cquote2
  • "Don't touch my hair." Oh Charles...
    • And later in the film: "I suppose I am a real professor now, aren't I? Next thing you know, I'll be going bald."
  • Wolverine's cameo. Charles and Erik walk into a bar where he is having a drink, only for him to send them off with a single line.
Cquote1
Cquote2
    • What makes it great is that, as a PG-13 film, they had exactly one "fuck" to use before bumping up the rating to an "R". So they gave it to Wolverine.
  • Emma Frost uses her powers to make an illusion of herself for a Russian general to have sex with while they are "negotiating". Charles and Erik burst in and see the general making love to thin air, and the two of them share a prolonged, silent "WTF?" reaction.
    • "Nice trick."
  • Havok and Banshee get a few during the training montage, with the former making Charles rush for the fire extinguisher in a panic and getting knocked over by his power, and the latter failing to fly from a window and landing in the hedge, and then getting pushed (by Erik) off the top of a satellite dish.
    • Doubly hilarious is the conversation just before he's pushed.
Cquote1

 Banshee: *to Xavier* I trust you!

Xavier: I'm touched.

Banshee: *about Hank* I don't trust him.

Xavier: *to Hank* Say nothing.

Banshee: I'M GOING TO DIE!

Xavier: All right, look. We're not going to make you do anything you aren't comfor-

Erik: Here, let me help. *SHOVE*

Banshee: AAAHHHHH!

Cquote2
    • This bit afterwards:
Cquote1

 Xavier: Erik!

Erik: What? You know you were thinking the same.

Cquote2
    • And then later this scene comes back in an amusing way when Banshee is about to drop out of the Blackbird to locate Shaw's submarine (via sonar pulse), when he notices Erik is coming up behind him to the open bay doors. Clearly, getting pushed from a great height once by Erik was enough.
Cquote1

 Banshee: Whoa! You back right off!

  • Erik knowingly smirks and raises hands apologetically*
Cquote2
  • The final battle for Riptide. He starts to get his powers spinning, but Havok blasts him into the submarine's side with his powers. Then, as Riptide is getting up, Magneto causes the wall of the submarine to collapse onto him. He doesn't wake up until it's all over. Made slightly funnier by the fact that Riptide crashed the Blackbird onto the beach in the first place.
  • And from the deleted scenes, Dragneto:
    • Particularly Xavier's line immediately afterwards.
