I was thinking about how movies where there is a diabled character, the disability is always part of the story. But there has to be some where disability is not part of the story or never mentioned. After some thinking, the only movie I can think of is Dr. Strangelove, oddly enough.
shareTowards the end of "The Favorite", Queen Anne shows all the symptoms of a stroke. The left side of her face droops and she limps and she can't move her left arm at all, she has to pick it up with her right arm... and nobody mentions it. Not just the characters in the film, I mean, I'm the only person I've heard mention it - the only viewer, fan, or critic! Yes, Olivia Colman perfectly mimicked the symptoms of a stroke, and I seem to be the only one who noticed it.
Queen Anne died of a stroke, but I don't know that in real life, she suffered a non-fatal stroke at the time the film said she did.
Interesting. He performance was too subtle that no one was able to pick up on it.
shareProfessor X is just a mutant guy in a fancy wheelchair. His disability has nothing to do with his powers. Contrast that to, say, DareDevil, where his disability is the entire reason of his superpower.
shareI could be wrong because I'm not a fan of the series, but doesn't he create the X-Men because mutants had the ability to use powers to save people that he was incapable of doing?
shareWell, comic stories varies over the years so maybe he was at some point. But at least from the movies (particularly X-Men: First Class) he gathered mutants even before he became a paraplegic, so it must not because that he couldn't walk. The fact that he's later having to use a wheelchair doesn't have anything to do with X-Men. He simply fell down near the end of the movie.
