20 Idiotic Decisions Made By Characters In The X-Men Franchise

1. Professor X Chooses To Lie About Weird Stuff All The Time - All The X-Men Movies

As a horrible side effect of the garbled nature of the X-Men movies, the franchise has rendered Professor X -the one characterwho is supposed to serve as the voice of total reason, mind you - as something of a pathological liar, much in the same vein that Obi-Wan Kenobi waswhen George Lucas started messing around with the chronology of the Star Wars movies via the prequels.

Looking back across the span of the movies, Professor X comes across as the most insincere character of all, and one who, through his lies, makes all kinds of situations worse as he taints every conversation with his - quite frankly - unparalleled insincerity. It's really not a good way to go about things in a universe that's already complicated as this one, Professor: where's your integrity?

For example: Why did you say that Cyclops, Storm and Jean Grey were you first students in X-Men? What was the point of telling Wolverine that? Where was the reasoning behind telling everyone that you met Magneto when you were seventeen years old, when you were actually in your thirties? And why are you pretending not to know Mystique intimately throughout X-Men 1-3, when you used to be super close best friend companions?

It makes no sense, and - worst of all - those lies can't have made things any easier for the other characters to go about their duties, saving the world.

Any other dumb decisions from the X-Men movies? Can you justify any of these? Let us know down in the comments.
