    Shaw's Death Makes Magneto's Later Threat Much More Vindictive

    From u/rgreganu/rgregan

    A death inX-Men: First Classmakes a threat in the first X-Men movie much more vindictive. In the firstX-Menmovie, Magneto uses his powers to turn a team of cops' guns on them. He lets one gun shoot, stops the bullet, and slowly drives it into the lead officer's forehead. This acts as a threat by itself. But thinking about how Xavier and Magneto's relationship ended while Magneto slowly forced a coin through Sebastian Shaw's forehead, which Xavier had in a psychic hold and was sharing, makes Magneto's taunt much more personal.
