I guess you missed the part where Shaw has the ability to absorb kinetic energy.

Eric does not yet know he is a mutant at that point.

Sebastian Shaw had a certain level of psychological control over Eric, I think, at least at this point when he was still a kid. Psychology can be a weird thing at times.

another plot hole in that scene, he doesn't run to his mother when she dies.

What movie were you watching? Hit shaw with sharp objects? Why on earth do you think this would work when bullets, rocket launchers, and grenades only made him stronger. The guy was absorbing a NUCLEAR reactor. The same thing would happen with a sharp object. He absorbes energy moron. How did you even find your way to this message board with a brain like that?

what post were you reading?

kevin bacon orders the nazi's to kill eric's mother, at that second, why doesn't eric kill kevin bacon?


Erik had no idea that Shaw could do those things because at that second he had not seen any of that. The question is why didn't try to kill Shaw?

My answer to the question is this: He had no control over his abilities and he was angry and out of control. He would was not focused enough to think about attacking Shaw.

reply

The fact that he didn't try annoyed me a bit the first time I saw it too, but I then thought well, the guards had steel helmets, the filing cabinet and large objects in the surgery were obvious things, and as you say he may well not have had the focus to throw things with any direction or to perhaps stab Kevin's glasses into his head. He's just a kid, that may not even have occurred to him.

It's nice to see some people give rational, polite answers. Others not so much.

...then whoa, differences...

kevin bacon was a beast man. magneto couldnt even stop him when he was fully grown up without professor xavier help. I wish shaw didnt die because his power was awesome. Im like why cant anyone stop him. Also was pissed he killed that black dude.. im like man thats messed up.

My thoughts exactly - he had all those bladed objects to play with!

No, because mutants aren't real. Kevin Bacon is just a human being like you and me. He is vulnerable to sharp metal objects.

kevin bacon orders the nazi's to kill eric's mother


Kevin Bacon did no such thing. Kevin Bacon is merely an actor reading his lines.

at that second, why doesn't eric kill kevin bacon?


Why would a fictional character like Eric kill a real-life person like Kevin Bacon?

* Note I do understand Kevin Bacon is immortal


Kevin Bacon is not immortal. He has aged through the years since we first saw him in Friday The Thirteenth!
