In a somewhat unrelated note, this thread has led to me trying to work out how to use the Maccabeats "Lecha Dodi" as the music for a Magneto fanvid. Because in a sense you're right, that there is a strong and foreboding tension between a melody designed to deliver "Maybe there’s a God above/ But all I’ve ever learned from love/ Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you" and the lyric "Wake up, Wake up, sing a song! The glory of the Lord is revealed on you." And it has been my lonely personal struggle since X-Men First Class came out to read Erik Lehnsherr welcoming the Sabbath Bride while everyone else in the world thinks he's a a cold and broken Hallelujah.
