Yes, have to agree. (Both about the blue, and about Hank's comment.)
And it made the Mystique/Magneto dynamic absolutely *fascinating*. One thing that came through, crystal clear, in this movie is that Erik *believes* in his people in a way that Charles (the assimilationist) fundamentally does not. Indeed, you can make a strong case that he's a much better and more open-minded person. So when Raven makes her choice, it's utterly believable, and it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the ideological choice -- it's simply a matter that, on a purely personal level, she believes more in Erik as a person, and you can totally understand why...
