Blue Cherry Frosting

 

I  was just thinking about the wondrously appropriate casting of Kelsey Grammer in the X-Men franchise. It really is up there with Patrick Stewart's Proffy X. But I was just musing about its applicability on a deeper level.
Beast was always an exemplar of duality. Mentally, he's an erudite and amiable gentleman, but in physical terms, he's monstrous enough to warrant his code name. And old Kels is a dualistic dude too, famous as he is for two things. First, he's the refined intellectual Frasier Crane. The next thing that jumps to mind after that is his true persona of a ravenous hedonist.
Boom! Dude knew how to get rid of the pain of being a man even before he became the Beast. Blue fur's just a bonus.

 

Bonus Question! 

 

"American Beauty" versus KGBeast?

I think that KGBeast could  be drawn to the movie for Kevin Spacey, and he'd appreciate the guy's performance. It's the type of thing he'd jump to after finishing "House of Cards" on Netflix, and though it wouldn't fully scratch that itch, it'd still see him through a few hours of the night quite pleasantly.
