The X men franchise has been a success right from the its first release in 2000 till the most recent release in 2016, X-men Apocalypse. I was watching one of my favourites in these set of blockbusters, X-men- The first class when in my goof detecting senses spotted a twist in the plot that was absolutely unreal. Yeah, we know Sebasten Shaw had to die but how he died makes the script questionable.
Shaw had been wearing a helmet which made it impossible for Charles Xavier's telepathy and mind control to work on him. Eric also known as Magneto wanted Shaw dead while Professor Xavier wanted him captured alive. To win Shaw, Eric had to remove the helmet while the professor immediately paused him using mind control. Eric immediately wore the helmet to prevent the professor from getting into his mind too.
The professor knew Eric's intents and tried to stop him before being shut out with the helmet. However, the professor keeps hold of Sebastian Shaw's mind while Eric pierced through his brain with a coin. All the professor could do according to the script was scream and cry as he felt the pain Shaw felt.
Seriously?!
THE GBAGAUN(THE GOOF)
Professor Xavier obviously did not want shaw killed by Eric in the submarine. The professor was the one who paused Shaw using his telepathic powers. If he truly did not want Eric to kill Shaw with the coin, all he had to do was release him from the mind control. Shaw would have dodge the coin that pierced through his head or probably spit it out as a bullet while giving Eric a good fight.
However all Professor Xavier did was to scream while feeling the pain Shaw felt in his last few seconds. That part of the script appears a serious goof considering the personality of Charles Xavier and how he even fought Eric to save the thousands of men in the Ships later on.
