I have no intent on claiming this footage as my own. I am simply providing commentary and constructive feedback.
So fun fact Captain America actually fought alongside Logan/Wolverine in WW2 when he was known as The Canadian. This was all featured in the comics but for the MCU because Fox owned the movie rights to X-Men Marvel was unable to use characters like Logan in the MCU without making a deal with Fox first. Origins of course came out before Captain America The First Avenger but it would've been so cool to see a Wolverine cameo in First Avenger. The whole intro to this movie is amazing and my personal favourite thing about Origins showing Logan going from each war.
I heard rumours that Marvel tried to get a Hugh Jackman Logan cameo in Captain America: The First Avenger which would've connected the Fox X-Men movies to the MCU but it never happened and they continued to be separate. X-Men First Class released this same year as First Avenger 2011 while Origins: Wolverine released in 2009 so both X-Men and the MCU were coming out side by side up until 2019 so naturally it make since for Marvel to try and connect them together. and just have the X-Men predating The Avengers just like the comics.
The cartoons, comics, and video games did not have this problem as it was solely the movie rights that Fox owned so Wolverine did show up as a cameo in Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Hero's in Captain Americas first episode while Logan and Cap also worked together in X-Men: Evolution in WW2 so it's pretty cool seeing them together in an X-Men show and an Avengers show.
Also on the topic of Deadpool don't worry everything post Days of Future Past pretty much retcons everything so the origins of the Deadpool we see in the Deadpool movies is much closer to the comics than what we got in Origins. I'll not go into spoilers but once you watch Days of Future Past you'll understand what I mean I just can't explain why because of spoilers.
When I was a kid I really liked the animated series
Another interesting fact adding on to Cap and Logan's time together in WW2: they liberated the concentration camp that held Magneto.
Wow!! Didn't know that! Thanks for sharing that. Would be cool to see that at some point in a future movie.
I get why they couldn't get Hugh Jackman, but it definitely would've been cool if the MCU established Wolverine & Captain America as old war buddies for when they eventually introduce their own version of the character.
I suppose it's not completely out of the question w/ Bucky still around, but would've been cool if it was Steve lol.
They could have easily made a reference in one or both movies without making a deal. Or just make the deal, they did for Quicksilver and Wanda.
I'm very happy you didn't skip this. Those who suggest so are elitist critics, and not true fans. I hate it when people want others to skip a Marvel film.
This movie is amazing but has a terrible Deadpool
@@JesG.Admit it, if he wasn't called Deadpool you'd think weapon 11 is an awesome original character
I love the opening montage with Wolverine and Sabertooth fighting in every war over the years.
Wolverines full name is James Logan Howlett
And Gambit taps into the energy of an inanimate object and converts it to kinetic energy
Addie, let's just say that this movie's depiction of Deadpool isn't exactly comic book accurate. For that you'll need to watch his movies, and trust me, it will be worth your time. :)
well neither is Deadpool movie .. but deadpool in wolverine is just spit in face from producers
Oh, I am so here for her reaction to just the first DP movie. Wowwwwwwww.
@@alanea5860 It keeps in line with how Deadpool is written across his comics, and has a story that fits his character. It's a fine comic book adaption.
Not accurate?
You don't say???????
@@kiillabytez And how could I have explained that without giving spoilers?
Gambit's powers if i remember correctly are kinetic energy he can conduct into matter around him, he typically is known for infusing that energy into his playing cards which are weapons to him, but he can do it with just about everything.
I'm sure someone more proficient in X-men lore can give a more detailed answer than this but that's the jist of it.
Nothing really to add here.
The very simple answer.. he can make things he touches go boom. Him using playing cards is just a personal choice.
@@fzoid3534 Playing cards and a bo-staff. I had also seen his powers explained as bio-energy infusion.
These are good overall responses. To be more specific, Gambit can take any potential energy and convert it into kintec energy, which he charges matter to blow stuff up.
Well, and for a card game enthusiast like Remy, playing cards are very good for throwing. Lots of card throwers can do some pretty cool things with them, but they don't really have the mass to be damaging on their own. Imbuing them with kinetic energy solves that problem.
I do love the brother relationship between Logan and Victor (Sabertooth)
Fun fact: there was a planned X-men Origins movie for Magento. But after this one got mixed reviews, they scrapped it. But they included some of the storyline in X-men First Class...
The Magneto story is the backbone of First Class. Once you learn it rose from Origins ashes, it's plain as day. From the opening scene to the final line, it's about Magneto.
Wolverine would say to you: Weapon X made me a killing machine. But I pull the trigger.
There are a few reasons why people dislike this movie; the messed up version of Deadpool, the lack of care Fox spent on continuity, and others, but Hugh Jackman is still phenomenal as Wolverine.
The terrible cgi claws looks worse than every other X-men movie 😅
@@LordVolkov Straight up looks like he's using a "toon" weapon from Who Frame Roger Rabbit. CGI's come a long way, makes me appreciate they went practical before
Is it actually Deadpool though? Yes the word Deadpool is said in the movie, but he's Weapon 11 not Deadpool. The continuity shouldn't be an issue since this isn't supposed to be canon to the rest of the franchise.
@passionsquietrage3617 I don't want to leave any spoilers here, so let's just say that I think THE post credits scene pretty explicitly confirms that it was, and just how hated it was. If anyone reading this doesn't know what I'm talking about, sorry but I won't risk any more details accidentally leaking spoilers. If you disagree with my take, totally cool with that, just please don't respond in any detail here. Wait until she reacts to it and post there.
@@Scott-ec4cs I know what scene you're talking about, but I think that was joke banking on the hate not an actual confirmation of anything. Stryker explicitly called him "Weapon 11", therefore that is his name.
Gambit basically has Energy Dispersion Powers. Creating Kinetic Energy out of anything, but he uses cards because of gambling background.
It's not because of a gambling background but just because a deck of cards allows him to easily carry around at least 52 weapons at all times. Also because smaller objects like cards require much less time to charge energy into.
@@DukeDarkshadow In the comics Gambit loved to take risks, loved poker, loved to gamble, hence the name Gambit growing up in the Theives Guild of New Orleans. He also loved Rogue.
Edit: Of many of aliases one was literally called "The Gambler". Also he is my all time favorite X-men besides Jubilee growing up and still is to this day.
Weapon X was the 10th attempt to recreate the super soldier program that gave Steve his powers.
From what I understand, Ryan Reynolds hated what they did with Wade Wilson (Deadpool) so much that he quit during the production and it was finished with someone else. Deadpool is known as, "The Merc With the Mouth" and in this movie, they literally sewed his mouth shut. This is why Ryan Reynolds wanted to make his own Deadpool movie and we all know how *that* turned out.
Well, to be fair, Addie doesn't.
Doesn’t really matter as there’s various iterations of dead pool it was bound to happen, Ryan should have known this from the start, 🤷♂️
Gambit deserves justice.
Amen to that!
Personally I would have loved to have seen Channing Tatum's Gambit movie I'm sad that got cancelled
There is a well made fan film that's quite good.
Gambit has the ability to charge practically any item to the point that it explodes. The more power/charge he puts into an item the bigger the explosion. Also this movie puts Logan at almost 200 years old
You have accidently put the chapters of "What If" in this video.
I appreciate that you didn't skip this. My belief is that you can't really appreciate how good other things are if you just skip over the bad stuff.
I more or less agree. This was pretty bad, but it wasn't the zero out of ten that people make it out to be. I consider it a great movie to watch with friends and some adult beverages. (Now that it's legal, maybe some recreational herbs.) It's at least a fun movie to mock. (Why IS Wolverine so angry with the sky?)
Can't say the same about 'New Mutants'. 😖🤦♂
Dumbest shit I've ever read
This movie isn't even in Fox's Top 3 Mutant horrors, but the problems stand out so much people tend to overhate the whole movie
Agreed. Though it was inaccurate on Deadpool and had some pretty bad storytelling, the reason it's an important must see is it helps one understand the long life of wolverine, his rather tragic past and interaction with some other characters.
My favorite scene is the one where Kayla tells Logan the story of the Wolverine. It’s nice seeing him so happy, but sad because you know it won’t last long.
Gambit powers are he can kinetically charge any object he’s holding.
True, but he ain’t Gambit without his playing cards. That’s how I got to know him in X-Men the Animated Series and X-Men: Evolution.
"Nobody kills you but me."
Sums up Thor and Loki to a T😆
Part of the movie was filmed at Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour. It was a prison, and later a naval shipyard.
I'm one of those who really didn't like this one either, but glad you didn't skip it, because, because you'll be more invested for the really fantastic Days of Future Past and Logan - and this movie really is important for the Deadpool flicks. The best is yet to come.
Wolverine Origins being the punching bag of the Deadpools is its biggest redeeming quality.
Days of Future Past and Logan are both excellent films even if (maybe especially if) you've never seen this turd. And for Deadpool.... all you really need to know is that the movie was really bad and you get the joke at the end. Not important to see the whole thing.
Days of Future Past is crap in my opinion lol its necessary to watch tho for the timeline.
@@nooneofconsequence1251 You are SOOOO Wrong Deadpool was the shits!
@@nooneofconsequence1251 nah, u cappin....Deadpool was great and DOFP was meh...that whole reboot franchise was lackluster
Gambit power is basically he can add explosive energy to whatever he wants by touching it.
4:12 I've always found it interesting that some mutant relatives have *very* similar powers, i.e.:
- Cyclops & Havok (brothers)
- Magneto & Polaris (father & daughter)
- Azazel & Nightcrawler (father & son)
- Banshee & Siryn (father & daughter)
- Wanda & Wiccan (mother & son)
- Quicksilver & Speed (uncle & nephew), etc.
Then others are *completely* different, i.e.:
- Colossus & Magik (brother & sister)
- Wanda, Quicksilver & Polaris (siblings)
- Cannonball, Husk Icarus & Aero (siblings), etc.
“Set up a lot”
LOL
Good thing I didn't know who Deadpool was when I saw this movie
To be honest I thought this movie aged better than I thought it would. I quite enjoyed this re-watch with you. It gave us a lot of Wolverines back story. I think Stryker is one of the best Marvel Villains. I liked Taylor Kitsch as Gambit, I wished they would have done a movie with him. The Lagos connection that was also in Captain America Civil War was a cool easter egg.
Anyway I can't wait for X-Men: First Class as I think that might be my favorite X-Men movie. Matthew Vaughn (director) is really talented and I haven't seen a movie of his that I didn't like. I wish he would be considered for a MCU movie in the future.
as a guy who was a BIG deadpool comic fan back in high school this movie made me maaaaaaad lmao
it's important moving forward to not assume that this film is canon
The opening title sequence of this movie was pretty cool.
And that's the end of the entire list of positive things I have to say about it.
I love the musical score of that whole sequence
YOU: "I really hope that, when people come searching for Wolverine, this couple isn't killed in the process."
ME: "About that...."
BTW, please remember Ryan Reynolds in this role when you watch Deadpool.
I forgot this DP existed until the real film came out.
I have mixed feelings about X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I enjoy it overall though. I'm glad you didn't skip this movie Addie ❤ Fun fact, in X-Men lore Victor Creed becomes the mutant known as Sabretooth. Can't wait for your next X-Men movie reaction!
Omg can't wait fo you to watch the Deadpool movies this version of Deadpool is a far different version than he is in the movies or the comics as he doesn't normally have all those powers just the healing power
Yeah, hopefully you don't get spoiled before you see the Deadpool movies. I will say this, I would advice that you go into them with little to none of the preconceptions that this movie might have given you about the character. And in one of them, there will be a surprise in reference to a particular event in X-men origins: Wolverine that is incredibly fun.
Also, Look out! There's a dog in the background! 😱🤯 Doggy! 🐶🐾🐕👋🏾😁Great reaction, keep up the good work 👍🏾
I wonder if Addie's will be the first Reaction to "catch" that joke..?
There’s a reference she won’t catch in DP unless she watches a certain DC film.
Make sure you watch all the X-Men movies
Because even the bad ones have something good to offer
I really love (some of) the X-Men movies... but honestly if you completely skipped Origins: Wolverine, Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix, and New Mutants (which wasn't as bad as these others, but, also not relevant to the rest of the franchise)... you wouldn't be missing much at all and your overall experience with the X-Men would be a lot more positive. Origins adds almost nothing to the story that couldn't already be inferred, apart from the relationship between Logan and Victor which they messed up anyway. And Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix were just such terrible films... would be so, so much better to close out the series with Days of Future Past, Logan, and Deadpool 2 than it would be to end with Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix, and New Mutants.
On the other hand a lot of people hate The Last Stand which personally I think is flawed but underrated, and also necessary to the overall story much moreso than any of the 4 above mentioned films.
@@nooneofconsequence1251 hell no, why someone should skip these movies? For me they are best than most of MCU new movies
@@nooneofconsequence1251 I would rather skip The Wolverine (2013), not this one.
Interesting reactions on this comment. It just shows how everyone has their own opinions on what makes a good superhero movie and what doesn't.
I have watched all of them and skipped none of course and some are better than other. I didn't care for this one, but seeing Addie watch it was fun. She really enjoys the fun moments and of course doesn't have that comic book fan background to be upset at stories done wrong. This film had a good start but then just went sideways.
well none of them can be actually called bad one despite several retcons and plotholes
I acc liked the version of Sabretooth we got in this film tbh, even tho it kinda retcons the first X-Men film. The relationship between them in this film is a great way to explain their rivalry.
Plus, I think it's cool that Victor/ Sabretooth runs like a werewolf lol 3:09
Fun fact: Logan and Creeds father at the beginning of the film when he was attacked by a child logan is portrayed by aussie actor (Aaron Jeffery). He's such an underrated actor
You skipped my favourite comeback...
Striker: Your country needs you.
Wolverine: I'm Canadian.
Another adorable Addie reaction... including pupper bombing the recording.
Fun Fact: Hugh Jackman revealed that during the scene where he escapes Weapon X headquarters naked, the crew played a prank on him. When he turned the corner, every woman in the crew was standing there
Heads up @AddieCounts you've got the "What If" chapter timestamps on this video. lol
When Frank says "Did you just call me Blob?" That was actually the name of an X-Men character from the comics! Subtle Easter egg.
Deadpool in the Deadpool movie is basically retconned from this version since this one wasn't received well at all. This version isn't canon
Addie, you are forgiven for accidentially calling Scott "Steve" throughout the movie. BTW, seeing Ollie appear at the end was so cute. It still reminds me of when Titus used to climb on the bed in your earlier videos.
...and please react to Dunkirk (2017) & Tenet (2020). #MoreChristopherNolanForAddieCounts
Here’s a weird theory: the bottoms of Wolverine’s feet would be baby smooth
His healing factor essentially maintains his body at its peak condition at all times. Even if he ran on gravel for a year, he’d never develop calluses. Ok. I’ll see myself out.
Addie, the most important thing from this reaction is the guest appearance from your beautiful dog.
Addie, thanks for the Ollie sighting! What a good boy! 😄
Gambit can turn solid mater into potential kinetic energy. The item he does this to will be unstable, ergo it will explode, but he can set how long it takes. He likes cards because he knows that 1 card is enough to knock someone out without killing them. Objects he charged up can also be controlled by him.
X-Men origins Wolverine Deadpool and the solo movie Deadpool is totally different.. And X-Men origins Wolverine post credit scenes where Deadpool finds his head doesn't make any sense because it doesn't connect to any other movies ever solo Deadpool movie.. you can say this version of Deadpool is a variant of the original Deadpool..
Im with you about the claws! I grew up reading X-Men comics and watching the X-Men animated cartoon. I remember sitting in the theater for the first X-Men movie when logan says "everytime". It blew mind! All those years as a kid loving wolverine. Never thinking about how it would hurt to use them.
everything up to the opening credits was fantastic. seeing Logan and Victor fighting through multipal wars was soo cool.
i just can't enjoy what comes afterward, especially the ending with "Weapon Eleven" (i refuse to call him deadpool).
Dorkpool.
This is definitely one of those movies that could be considered a "rite of passage" in a franchise/fandom, so CONGRATULATIONS! LOL
Hi Addie. 😀
Gambit is my favorite X-Men character.
His mutant powers enable him to change the atomic structure of the molecules inside anything that he touches. He usually changes cards into explosives. But he can also change his clothes into armor. And I don't even know what exactly he does with that stick of his. I'm guessing that he made it very strong with his powers. The way that Gambit uses cards and other objects as exploding missiles is just the skill of the man known as Gambit. ♠♥♦♣
He is actually a relatively new character compared to others from X-Men. Gambit was created in the 1990s.
Gambit, Remy LeBeau is from Louisianna and speaks with a "Cajun" accent. In the cartoons Wolverine calls him "the Cajun".
Gambit's powers are basically manipulating kinetic energy and making it explode. He always carries a deck of cards to make for perfect projectiles and his staff is also useful for such traits. Anyways, I enjoyed this reaction and film even though I have mixed feelings about the film.
This movie has been retroactively been made apocryphal. Basically, this is a pocket dimension story that is not connected to the rest of the Marvel Universe, or even X-Men universe.
I loved the display of Wade's blade ability in this movie.
To answer your question, Wolverine's name is James Logan. But all he can remember is what Gambit told him..which was Logan.
I wish they brought this actor back as Gambit again.
Liev played his brother, and actually looks like the guy who played his father.
Victor is also the character Sabertooth. In the first movie, he was the blonde headed beast looking man with Magneto.
He and Logan hate each other, but don't remember why.
Victor's mutation was different than Logan's because his actually turned him and his mind more beast like. You saw in the first movie he barely spoke.
The brothers, however, do share the regenerative power.
In the comics, different writers have changed the origin story between the two men.
In some they are father (Victor) and son (Logan) instead of brothers.
I can't remember if there's one where they're not related at all.
Logan has serious PTSD between fighting in all those wars and then going through that excruciating pain of getting the Adamantium put over his skeleton....
Btw, Adamantium is this universe is a weaker version of Vibranium.
But because of legal reasons, Fox had to change it to Adamantium.
Again...expect inconsistencies.
Hugh's body is a work of art and I am paying close attention to detail..😂
Gambit can charge anything he touches with kinetic energy. He mostly uses cards cause they're light and thin, and cause he grew up playing cards.
The post credits scene was missing where Logan Is drinking in a bar in Japan...the girl who serves him asks him:
- "Do you drink to forget"?
And he answers:
- "No...i drink to remember".
Most people don't like this movie simply because it should have so much better. They could have made a classic. Instead, they just haphazardly slapped together bits a pieces of as many characters as they could think of. Oh, and any movie starring Wolverine needs to be rated R. Period!
Deadpool 2: need to watch the end scene when you get to it.
Pupper is adorable and was naturally excited and wanted to see Wolverine too 💙
as a kid watching the 90's cartoon, gambit was my favorite x-man. that was my favorite part of this movie.....
Gambit is one of the og X-Men. He has a long-standing relationship with rogue. He has the mutant ability to charge up anything that he touches and turn it into a time bomb or an impact bomb. This weapon of choice is a deck of cards and that staff. He has one of the hottest most interesting relationships with rogue and cosplayers frequently dress like them at Comic-Con. He also is my favorite X-Men because he is from where I am from New Orleans Louisiana.
One of the biggest criticisms about the Fox/Marvel movies is that the continuity was all over the place so forget most of everything you’ve seen on this movie because most of it is not relevant going forward and will never be addresses or mentioned again as far as storyline. Just take the remaining movies as they are, don’t try to connect them like the MCU.
Long term, I feel this movie makes more sense if you know a bit about the history of superhero comics. For most of the 20th century, rules that were set up during the McCarthy days meant that comic books had to be fully episodic with bad guys never winning. There were also a lot of rules regarding traditional lifestyles (eg, no same sex relationship, no implied sex outside of marriage, etc.).
The result is that until the mid-80s comics tended to have zero continuity and just throw everything they wanted into stories. The X-Men have fought vampires, Professor X dated the queen of an interstellar empire, characters sacrifice themselves in one comic to miraculously come back later, and so on.
As the rules started to relax and multi-part stories started to emerge, fans started getting really into the idea of establishing continuities, but most of that continuity is an illusion. Even the big cross-title storylines tend not to matter when they're over.
With all this in mind, don't think of the X-Men universe as being MCU-lite. It's not. Each episode might as well be its own story with only loose connections to other movies. The original trilogy was written to tell a connected story, but there are some big continuity problems even there. Origins: Wolverine tells AN origin of Wolverine, but not necessarily THE origin. First Class is essentially an alternate universe. Days of Future Past and Apocalypse are yet another alternate universe: they undo some of First Class' changes but don't revert everything.
If you try to approach X-Men as MCU or a book series, this is all seriously annoying. So don't. These are a bunch of separate, episodic stories that reference other stories but aren't really connected. Just like the source material.
No spoilers, I promise.
Victor - Victor is actually supposed to be Sabretooth from the first X-Men movie. It's a different actor, but it's meant to be the same character.
Deadpool - I haven't read the comics, but apparently this version of Deadpool was very different than the comic version and fans absolutely HATED it. The two Deadpool movies ignored this film and went their own way, and were MUCH more popular with the fans.
X-Men: First Class - This is a prequel, however what you need to realize is that the studio basically wanted to "reboot" the X-Men franchise with a younger cast, but didn't want the stigma that comes with just remaking a popular series. So someone came up with the idea of making a prequel, and then the studio said "Great! And after we slap on a flimsy excuse to explain it, we can basically do whatever we want and not worry about continuity." So, don't spend too much time worrying about how all the movies fit together from this point on. The studio didn't.
X-Men: Days of Future Past - Make sure to watch the "Rogue Cut", not the regular one.
Deadpool 2 - Watch this AFTER you watch Logan, as it has a spoiler in it. Also, watch the Deadpool 2 teaser, it's here on UA-cam. It's a completely separate scene made just for the teaser, not taken from the movie.
The New Mutants - It's listed as being part of the X-Men franchise, but it's really more of a horror movie. Yes, it's set in the X-Men universe, but it's really not connected to any other other films.
There are also two live action TV shows set in the X-Men universe, The Gifted and Legion. I liked Gifted, but it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger. Legion was weird and I never watched it past the first season.
10:45 "I didn't know! I swear on my son's life . . . I didn't --"
"You don't care about your son's life..."
Yes. Exactly. 😁
Yeah Deadpool in this is the main reason so many people dislike the movie, they absolutely butchered him here, to the point that he's not even really Deadpool in any way but name. That aside, it's a pretty decent movie for the most part. I guess. Deadpool aside, my biggest gripe was that they also butchered the Logan/Silverfox storyline so badly...I'd love to see Taylor Kitsch come back as Gambit at some point, too
Beautiful dog, by the way! :)
Not to burst your bubble but the Deadpool movies basically ignore this one entirely and in my opinion are a much better cannon for that origin story.
Remember that long-haired guy, Magneto's partner in X-Men 1? That was Victor. Sabertooth. Victor Creed.
The short version for Gambit's powers is that he can control the kenetic energy in objects, he can make it become unstable and then make objects explode. Hence why he keeps the cards, with just one deck of cards he might as well be carrying give or take 52 explosives tucked away in one little pocket.
I’m mad late to this party but gambit basically just turn’s potential energy into kinetic energy thus he can blow up or destabilize anything he touches, the staff is meant to withstand his powers to help transfer the energy into other objects without just blowing them up
Forget everything this movie had about Wade Willson and Deadpool - this director used him as a throw away character and messed up his origin.
Gambit's power is he can turn the potential energy in any object to kinetic energy. Which basically means he can make things move fast and explode just through touch - this actor did a good job, but again the character was wasted.
You will love the smarmyness of the Deadpool movies.
And as far as Xavier, one of the running theories about why he's alive in Future Past is because in the comics he had a twin brother that was clinically brain dead and somehow he was able to transfer his consciousness into him. As far as the chronological timing of him walking in the era of this movie's setting...... I haven't seen a theory on that yet.
Nonetheless, all the movies are still fun to watch even if they aren't part of the movie canon.
Liev Schreiber is awesome in this one
It's amazing how his adamantium claws became perfectly sharp out of thin air...I know the metal covers the bone claws but stil...
Fun fact but Wolverine getting adamantium was called the Weapon X program, and X meaning roman numeral not the letter X, so the project is "Weapon 10." This is the 10th attempt at such a project. Weapon 1? Captain America
If I remember correctly, Wolverine was raised as James Howlett, but his biological father's last name was Logan.
That's where Logan got the jacket you see him in in X-men
Gambit, He was supposed to be the next origin movie.
Subscribed because of doggo cameo, 10/10.
14:15 Nice Jacket, eh? That's the same one he wears in the original XMen films...however he doesn't have it by the end of this movie. LOL
I will never understand what's happening in the minds of people recommending that someone "skips" the movie. They haven't, right? That's why they have an opinion on that movie. So why do they give themselves the right to strip someone else of the opportunity to form such an opinion?
In this movie Creed was Logan's brother.
However, in the 1990s cartoons they are not brothers. It is possible that they are, and that Logan lost the memory of it. In the cartoon Creed's father was called Jebidiah Creed and he was human. He tried to "beat the animal" out of poor young Victor Creed, Sabretooth. There was no indication that he was a mutant. In this movie Creed's father looked like him.
It's all good, you get that in comic book stories. Different versions, different X-Men lineups.
Like the Transformers. There are the live action movies, there are also cartoons and they all have different versions.
Because of this movie there are 2 different versions of Deadpool, Wade Wilson. As you can see, they both have the same actor as the same character, but completely different stories.
The Deadpool movie has an X-Men character called Colossus. He was one of the original X-Men in the comics. You saw a version of him in X2. He was the tall teenage boy that turned into a metal man. He said to Wolverine, "I can help you". And Wolverine said, "Help them!" That was a young version of the character.
In the 1990s cartoon Colossus wants the X-Men to help him defend his country from an invading country. The never say the name of the country, but they depict it as a former Soviet state that is on the Black Sea. Anyone good at geography, even anyone with a map can see that there is only one country that could be in real life.
This invasion in the cartoon depicted many former Soviet states been conquered by Russian communists, but the featured character Colossus was from the Black Sea nation and all the action with the X-Men takes place there. It is amazing that they thought to depict / predict such an invasion at that time when the Soviet Union was actually in the process of breaking up. Well X-Men is set in the not-too-distant future. 🤔
There is also an arc in that series about a world-wide plague caused by a virus that turns out to be airborne. Sound familiar?
But it was written and aired in the early 1990s. Like 1991 / 1992. 😮
Like I said it was meant to be set in the future, but they really knew what they were doing. 😀
I hope we don't have a war between Mutants and Humans. 😧
Victor, Logans brother is Sabertooth from the first X-Men movie.
Glad you're watching Xmen first, in order before the Deadpool movies. So many reactors watch the Deadpool movies before seeing Xmen. Idk why they don't think they're connected lol. You wouldn't understand half the jokes without seeing Xmen first.
Your dog is the cutest!
You always introduce yourself as if you’re in trouble lol
So when you get to Deadpool you will love it. :)
Every X-men movie is a soft reboot, don't worry about continuity, just enjoy them individually for what they are!
NOTE TO THE EDITOR: when the dog shows up, move the screen, we want to see the doggo
That makes no sense. Days of Future Past is the only reboot. You've clearly never saw the movies. Talking about soft reboots
No, they altered more than a bit from comic book so this isn't officially counted as part of movie canon. But this does give you a basic outline of character evolution and how they came to be with the major exception of Deadpool, The only thing they got right about Deadpool is how he runs his mouth and never shuts up.. But it gives you the basics of how Logan came to be, what was up with Striker and his WeaponX program, His half-brother Sabretooth, etc.
FASCINATING chapter titles, Addie.
;-)
So X-men first class was originally going to be X-men Origins: Magneto (there were going to be Origins spin offs for everyone at the time), but due to the reception of this movie, it got rewritten into the newer reboot/refresh.
So yeah....it set up nothing for the future unfortunately, because they retconned everything straight after this.
19:28 The Gambit guy's weapons is not his cards.. He can load much energy to any object.. For example he can throw the regular bullet with his hands like shooting with a gun.. 20:03 dont confuse.. He loaded too much energy to his stick like I said.. He can load energy to any object.. That's what his power..
Next one - first class- is my favorite x men movie
I think the wolverine is next, the FC
@@MrJholshouser41 First Class then Wolverine.
It was supposed to be Orgin: Magneto, but this did so bad Fox panicked and they reworked it into First Class. Which is why First Class focuses on him so much. Its essentially his story.
As I understand it, Gambit's power is the ability to manipulate the kinetic energy of objects in order to use them as more potent weapons
Let haters hate, this is the best x men movie ever.
Ok, let's not go that far
It isn't as bad as people make it out to be, I will give you that much
"I know there's Deadpool movies"
Oh you have no idea what's coming. :D
The only thing i didnt like about this movie is their depiction of Deadpool... im so glad Ryan Reynolds fixed it tho. i really wish they had done more with Gambit as well... he was my favorite from the 90s animated show...
I'm glad that you did watch this movie, it is definitely not great but is also not horrible. I just think that this movie fits in with the feel of the other non MCU movies like the blade trilogy, the punisher movies, the different fantastic four movies, ghost rider movies, Daredevil and Elektra movies etc. they are not always great but never impossible to watch. All of the different Marvel just have different stories that need to be told, that goes for the shows as well like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Agent Carter, Daredevil and its small Defenders universe, the not great Inhumans show, the X-Men related shows etc. There is just so much and some things do well and others do not.
As you watch these, the order is the X-Men prequels, The Wolverine, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Deadpool, Logan then Deadpool 2. It will make sense as you watch them and all have end credit scenes. If I'm wrong, I'll be corrected. 😁
