I think I found A Major Blooper in X-Men First class

Columbus Syndrome.

There is a pop culture term for movie mistakes, but I forgot what it was...

But this is common. The real test is, was the movie good enough that you:

a) Did not see it the first, second or even third time?
b) Saw it, but did not really care.

If a movie has a few gaffs, I do not mind so long as the plot itself is tight. A movie with plot holes is a more bitter pill to swallow, and takes a really good flik to ignore outright.

The biggest blooper in X-Men 1st class is that it wasn't as good as the first 2 X-Men films.

you missed the biggest blooper. since when can a SR-71 hover and hover with its afterburners on?

It's not easy to be worse than terrible and godawful.

the were very good comic book films for what they were--the 2nd one particularly. you can have the 1st one, if you wish.

Wait for the extended Director's Cut version to correct this error.

If it were a George Lucas movie, we'd have Jar Jar in there somewhere to distract.

Forget to take autism meds today?

As a parent of a child with autism, I would ask you be more mindful when making comments like that.

Thanks

You guys are missing the obvious.

When he's straining, he's trying to focus, and also he's having to lift a submarine out of water.
The extra pressure of the water means it's much more effort to move the sub. Think of lifting something out of water vs lifting it up in the air.
Then when the subs is out of the water, there is lots of water still all over it, which all falls off, reducing the weight of the sub, meaning through both these things, plus him being more relaxed having achieved the difficult part of the task, means that he's much more relaxed and controlled in his holding of the sub, and able to swing round and move it to the other side of the jet as well.

Quite a simple explanation really.
