Ooh, I love this! All really good observations. The playfulness especially -- I think the only times we've seen someone being playful with their powers in the past, mayyyyybe Beast did in X3? But I can't remember that one very well -- it's been a while. So maybe not. And the kids in XMFC, but they were quickly slapped down for it!
I loved Peter David's take on Quicksilver ages ago, when he described Quicksilver as being a bit of a jerk because-- you know that driver who's going 20 in a 45 zone for no reason, or the guy who takes too long at the ATM? Everyone is that person to Quicksilver, so no wonder he's annoyed all the time.
Anyway, I was pleased that the jerkishness didn't come through, but the impatience did, and we got to see him being a little bratty but mostly playful.
Also, I have been a Quicksilver fan since approximately 1987 and I am JUST NOW realizing -- seriously, just TODAY -- that Quicksilver is A KIND OF METAL. I cannot believe how long that took. And I think it might be a coincidence, because I don't know that they had decided that Wanda and Pietro were Mags's kids back when they were first introduced, but it's still a great coincidence!

I want to know what the hell he's using to play music, as it apparently plays music at Quicksilver speed. XD

Okay, now for some of my Quicksilver headcanon:
* His name is actually Pietro, he just goes by Peter because it's easier.
* When watching Magneto on the screen, he's not horrified. He's becoming a Magneto convert. (This may get jossed later, but I still love the idea of Pietro kind of hero-worshipping his dad.)
* Pietro totally went to Woodstock.
* I would like 9000 ways in which Pietro tries harebrained schemes to get his dad and Charles back together. :D
* Someone suggested that the Maximoffs (or even just Ms. Maximoff there) are Pietro's foster parents, and I LOVE that idea. It also fits into canon (Maximoff was not Magda's last name; they were a different family altogether), and on top of that, it means the little girl he was holding in his lap was possibly his foster sister and not Wanda or Lorna. And it means maybe Wanda is off in a different foster home.
* Alternately, I'd be okay with that being Magda and Maximoff just being their last name. The kid could be anybody -- maybe Wanda was in another room because she's really easily upset by tense news and didn't want to risk blowing ANOTHER TV. In fact, maybe he got started stealing TVs because Wanda kept blowing them up. :(
:D :D :D PIETRO YAY! I really didn't expect to like him as much as I did, but I really enjoyed his scenes!
