Definitely joining this event on May 9... but can folks start thinking of a starting time where those of us on the other side of the pond also engaged in speculative education don't have to burn the midnight oil?

So they cast Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, yet they have killed him off in 3 different movies...
In other words, Charles Xavier has officially become the KENNY of the MCU! #OhNoTheyKilledCharles
