I like how much Angel & Iceman, Original Xmen, are showing up here in this treatment. Warren & Bobby were great core characters for years in the comics, be sure to cast them well too!
I think your prologue perfectly sets up Sinisters obsession with Scott and Jean so I think that’s who sinister should be after. It’s also more comic accurate.
This was a very thorough rundown of the ideal Xmen film. I'm glad you are emphasizing Mr. Sinister as the main villain here. We have seen enough of Magneto, very excited to see evil Nathan Essex! The casting suggestions made are intriguing too.
As a hardcore X head I must point out some things. Fox already had Rogue as the villain’s means to an end. Fans will rip the idea to shreds. Sinister should stay obsessed with Scott and Jean. He should lure them into a trap. And if the only super-powered combatants are all Sinisters the audience will get bored fast. This is where the Marauders come in. And you confused me by not explaining who Rogue absorbed her super strength and the ability to fly from. But kudos for understanding emotional stakes in a fight
That is a really nice X-Men movie pitch you there, bub. But I think we could’ve had two prequel movies of the comic accurate X-Men first class and the Giant Size X-Men. Because throughout the MCU, I think the X-Men and the mutants would’ve been hidden from the whole world. I like your casting btw and I can agree with Richard Madden as Cyclops and Christian Bale as Mr. Sinister due to their previous MCU roles being wasted. I also like the other casting like Ralph Fiennes as Professor X, Jeffrey Wright as Beast, Jane Levy as Jean Grey, Anna Diop as Storm, Diana Silvers as Rogue, Austin Butler as Gambit, Jack Champion as Iceman, and Tom Blyth as Angel. BTW, I feel like Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, and Colossus could’ve been in the movie. If they were who would you have casted?
I'm not entirely sure who would've played those characters. I have a part 2 in the works as this was supposed to be the beginning of the story. thanks for watching, bub
Great video. Really appreciate your thoughts. Can tell just how much you love these characters. Glad you’ve given Cyclops recognition. He has always been criminally underused in live action films. Let’s hope your pitch makes it to Marvel!
I did enjoy it very much. However I think the Plot of a villain wanting to use rogues power has already been done. It would be cool to have leaned into rogues villain origin turned hero. And maybe have kitty been the point of view character
I think it could have tied really well into the overall story if, instead of Weapon Plus, it was Sinister who experimented on Logan. Just an idea, as I would have loved to have seen more of him in this pitch, but I loved the video as it is.
Having sinister as a villian is also a great way to eventually bring in Apocalypse. Sinister has so much history, his plan can be woven through 100 years. Its dope. Good idea.
What if she was interesting? I have an idea regarding that. At the end of episode 2, her parents accepted her as a mutant and gave her permission to go with the X-Men to learn to control her powers. Even though she's a mutant, they still love her no matter what she's born. With this in mind, she could be the missing link that bridges the separate borders of humankind and mutantkind together in unity and harmony. As her name implies, on one certain day, it could mark the long-awaited union between both kinds as it would be a day of jubilee. However, this is just my idea. What do you think?
Thank you for using Storm for something useful. She is an omega level mutant that has been wasted time and time again. Great pitch but i wish it was a Disney+ series to give this a longer run time.
My pitch fir the opening scene: The movie opens on two guards on the top of a building patrolling the perimeter. They're having some small conversations about staying vigilant for mutants. Then we see a shadowy figure fly over them and they turn around to figure out what it was and before they can contact anyone else, they are not out by Angel who radios to the other X-Men that the roof has been secured. Then we see someone riding a bicycle up to the front of the building and the guards try to stop them but they are beat up and when the person takes off their masks reveal that it's Jubilee popping gum. She radios to the others that the front entrance has been secured and then it flashes to the back of the building to show that ice man has frozen the guards in the rear. Scott, Jean and Storm enter the building with a warning from Beast through coms that they need to be extra stealthy. Which is why everyone is wearing black at this point. The three of them make their way through the building disarming security cameras and sensors as they go. When they reach the asset Scott is a little too hasty and accidentally trips an alarm. That's when the walls start to come down and it reveals that we are in the danger room and this is an exercise and now we get to see the X-Men fighting in the danger room as a team. I feel like this is a better opening than the one we got in the last stand.
I think having the tension between wolverine and Scott is enough, the love triangle is honestly tiring, so I think just having tension just be the two of them without Jean is enough imo
Magneto threatening to kill Rogue to raise the stakes... it kinda fits. But to be interesting I think it needs to feel like it's a plausible scenario. If the X-Men are taking her to Mr. Sinister for the fight, Magneto's threat will kick in too late to be relevant. Plus, it's not clear how he would find her. Not a major plot hole, but something that conceivably could be tightened up.
Magneto wants mutants to be dominant over humans. if rogue becomes a problem (a mutant who can take other’s abilities), that would set him off. him finding her and all that would be for part 2 of this series
@montreval The point I'm having trouble with = if Mr. Sinister already harnessed Rogue there's the "closing the barn door after the horse has left" problem.
@montreval Also, there should be a line that at least hints at what Magneto knows of Mr. Sinister. Is Magneto keeping a computer with threats to mutants and has his own intelligence operation? Did he encounter Mr. Sinister?
Great film idea. You're 100% right about Cyclops. Cyclops has to be an alpha. The original Cyclops was 6'3" 205lbs. And a great leader. I think the love triangle should be saved for the sequel though. Unfortunately Disney owns Marvel. Marvel comics has been dead since 2009. Disney wants to push certain agendas which is why they won't do X-MEN the right way. Great script idea. You should write it just in case.
Having Scott Summers innovate a plan in the middle of a fight that is based on stuff he knew when they planned the attack seems like a minor plot hole. But the imagery of a cataclysmic hurricane submerging an island does tap into concerns about rising sea levels and hurricanes increasing in intensity.
I don't know if it would be in character, but Beast adding a comment about how hurricanes have different names based on where they are in the world and technically this is more a cyclone or if Logan were Australian instead of Canadian he might call it a "willy-willies".
I liked the idea but having Storm solo killing all the clones? Maybe a plan where more powers are combine to defeat the clones Can work better. Also why is it that rouge can fly if she just got her powers?
The major problem with the MCU and most who have the Marvel Universe characters is that it's not about what we want to see. The time is changing, and they just churn out mostly soulless dreck. The movie I would love is a feature-length "Decent" from the X-Men the Animated series; the history of Mr Sinister. He could be the Dr. Doom of the X-men with a Dr. Frankenstein spin....a real cerebral and terrifying mutant. Just an idea ...
I dont think anyone in the upper MCU executives has ever seen that video of what Stan Lee said at the beginning of the video. That, they dont care about his opinion on the IP he helped make so popular in the 1st place.
I think Gifted portrayed the mutant experience almost perfectly, sure the show wasn’t great but showing how mutants are treated by human civilians rather than just government officials with such depth was something that the movies never delve deep enough into
OK, my pitch. Here we go: Mutants used to operate like 0.000001% of the globe, but since the blip's energy activated the mutant dormant gene, that number has increased exponentially. This has led to a great controversy around how to treat mutants. This is brought to ahead when the supervillain Arcade (Ben Schwartz), a psychotic techno path, shows up. He has kidnapped a bunch of mutants from around the world, put them in a place he calls "murder-world", is forcing them to fight to the death, and is streaming it to the world. This has led to a massive controversy, as an argument is spreading that the X-Gene is a sign of celestial/eternal DNA, therefore not qualifying you as human. Insane pastor and US senator Will Stryker (Matthew McConaughey) is the main voice against this, attempting to convince the world that these mutants don't deserve or qualify for any help. The X-Men, which here consists of Professor X (Ralph Fiennes), Cyclops (Tom Hopper), Jean Grey (Rose Leslie), Iceman (Justice Smith), Angel (Rege Jean-Page) and Beast (Joel Edgerton), are trying to convince the world that mutants are good, whilst trying to look for Arcade and Murder World. At the same time, the Brotherhood of Mutants, a terrorist group led by Magneto (Jason Isaacs), with the notable member of Mystique (Sofia Boutella), are active, looking for Arcade as well, but through much more violent means. This highlights the differences between the two factions, along with showing how the world views mutants. Plus, Murder World can introduce us to other mutants forced to fight, such as Jubilee, Gambit, etc. I haven't really thought beyond that though. Movie 2: Mr Sinister (Hugh Grant comedy casting, I'd actually say Tom Ellis) kidnaps the OG X-Men, and begins conducting experiments. Xavier forms a new team, Wolverine (IDK, Tom Hardy), Storm (Jodie Turner-Smith), Nightcrawler (Matthias Schweighofer), Colossus (Florian Munteanu) and others I won't cast here. Rogue (Lily James) will also debut here, as the Brotherhood attempt to capitalise through a mass recruitment scheme. Jean is tortured further by Sinister, leading to a clone called Madeline Pryor. Angel's wings are removed as well Movie 3: Sinister uses his research to resurrect Apocalypse, who starts plans for world destruction, forcing mutants to team up and stop him. Apocalypse's Four Horseman are Angel, Madeline Pryor, Psyloche and Gambit (I like the idea of Sinister preparing the Horsemen previously). Meanwhile, the Hellfire Club, led by Emma Frost (Rosamund Pike) and Sebastian Shaw (Rufus Sewell) start to turn Jean into the new Black Queen, as Magneto starts to investigate them. Movie 4 (and final): Jean is controlled by the Hellfire Club, goes psycho, kills many, many people, dies. Magneto and X team up to build Krakoa, and the mutants retire to their own nation. In between films: A high school drama called "the worst mutants", starring X-Ceptional, a mutant with the power to explode once. He is in school with his weird friends, such as Beak, Maggot and Eye-Guy. Quentin Quire and his "Alpha Gang" of powerful mutants, serve as the bullies, while Armour and Jubilee can serve as the cool girls. Features cameos from the X-Men as the films occur in the background. Plus, the teachers are Banshee and Forge, neither of whom are part of the X-Men anymore.
@@The_Presbyterian thanks! i’m not super sold on my cyclops casting, but i really like jean. you could really get any big guy with a square jawline and demanding voice and get cyclops
I think Dark Avengers Movie can be possible as 1.Justin Hammer as Iron Patriot or Titanium man 2.John Walker as US agent Abomination 3.Ares is counterpart to thor 4.Yelena as Crimson widow 5.Bullseye as Hawkeye 6.Yon-Rogg as Captain Marvel 7.Mac gargan can be Spider-Man as he got the black suit first and corrupting it befor it gets to Peter Parker Valentina being Nick fury of the group along with Ross Villain could be Sentry for the first half but we will know that the void has controlling him from the beginning. Abomination could die so red Hulk or skarr can be next Hulk Some other members could be ghost white wolf (Bucky barnes) sabertooth(Wolverine) moon stone (Ms marvel) How do you like my idea pls reply....
@@fakehappyfilms yeah I know what you want to say but some characters may got teased others may already get recruited in other post credit scene such as Mac gargan , Justin hammer , abomination and bullseye could be in the raft but in the five years time skip they could also get recruited too. As for Yon-Rogg and Ares they could get set up for part 2 maybe an character gets mad or overwhelmed by his powers could not control it and causes havok like graviton . So they need some heavy hitters to take him down . This first movie could take place during the time of blip they will be supervillains impersonating the superheroes and took their place .
Im sorry, folks but in terms of filmmaking, X-Men Days of Future Past is pretty darn perfect. John Campea came close to saying the same thing when he reviewed the movie
I agree that Mr Sinister should be one of the first villains the X-men fight in the MCU as he is such a prominent villain in the franchise and has such a fun, deviously evil and suave personality that makes him such a fun villain with ties and connections to characters like Scott and Jean. I also appreciate how much focus you gave Soctt, as many fans agree he should get more screen time and be the protagonist of the franchise. My casting for some of the X-men characters in this movie includes: Brenton Thwaites as Cyclops/Scott Summers Rose Leslie or Jane Levy as Jean Grey/Marvel Girl Milo Gibson, Taron Egerton or Jared Keeso as James Logan Howlett/Wolverine Joel Edgerton as Hank McCoy/Beast Jodie Turner-Smith or Anna Diop, as Ororo Munroe/Storm Brandon Flynn as Iceman Kele Palmer or Julia Garner as Anna Maria/Rogue Francis Civil or Austin Butler as Remy Lebou/Gambit Ralph Fiennes or Pip Torrens a Charles Xavier/Professor X Kaitlyn Dever or Maude Apatow as Kitty Pride/Shadowcat Louis Hofmann as Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler Danila Kozlovsky as Peter Rasputin/Colossus Tom Ellis as Nathaniel Essex/Mr Sinister
dude you’ve got some really solid castings in there! i love cyclops. he’s easily in my top 5 marvel characters. and mister sinister has such a cool presence that has just been ignored for so long
@@fakehappyfilms@montreval Thank you. I took a lot of inspiration from other fantastic performances I've seen. Are you going to do more X-men pitch videos with characters like Magneto, The Brotherhood of Mutants, etc...? BTW, I also agree with everything you said about Cyclops being the main character and leader of the Xmen, as well as Mr Sinister being a fun villain. I like the idea of Christian Bale in the role, but I think of Tom personally. Ellis would bring so much life, energy, and devious nature to Sinister's character without seeming too campy or flamboyant, especially after his iconic performance as Lucifer.
I like your mentality ("-a guy with a love for these characters, and a passion for movies ... inspired out of that love and passion. Not the opinion that I could do better than the professionals"). Rather, I relate to that mentality. I've been working on my own X-Men thing for a while now coming from a similar place (in fact, we have more than a few story points in common). I love your idea for the ending from the point of "how big of a hurricane can you make?" And like someone else said, I like the inclusion of Angel and Iceman, too. I vibed with some choices while not with others, but the ride of this video was definitely worth my time--which I was supposed to be spending on drafting the next part of my X-adventure! So gotta' BAMF. See you around, fellow X-Fan!
@@fakehappyfilms I'm the 3rd year into my thing! Getting close-*er*. I actually released a good chunk of it - multi-part story (not videos) - between Jan and Nov of last year (figuring "never or now"), and presently I'm going back over it all to release an improved draft. I didn't get through the whole of my plans on the first go but decided I couldn't live with myself any further until I fixed up the foundation. xD My detour of watching your video last night actually served to pivot my thinking and I went from in a slump to bangin' it out pretty good today. : ) (don't worry, not stealing anything ; ) My train of thought operates on an interesting track). So, do you actually have these as like full, screenplay-type scripts? Or do you mean you're working on your script for your youtube video pitching Part 2? (btw, forgot to mention last night as well, I like your dialogue. All of the bit with Rogue from the convo with her family to Jean speaking to her hit particularly nice, but in general what was said sounded right coming out of the mouths you put it in. Nice vid editing, too).
This is a nice pitch for an X-Men movie. My pitch however is slightly different. I have 7 members on the team as well, but different. It includes Professor X, Cyclops, Phoenix, Storm, Beast, Iceman, and Angel. Personally, I think they should focus on the original 5 members, plus having Storm as a founding member as well. Wolverine, Gambit, and Rogue should be saved for other films after the first one. I do have Mr. Sinister as the main villain, but I think he should be more obsessed with the current core roster of the X-Men team, instead of being obsessed with Rogue because we’ve seen that already in the first Fox X-Men film. Magneto should be saved for later films like you said, but just don’t have him in this film, he can be mentioned, and even Wolverine can, but just not have them in the film. And of course give Iceman and Angel big main character roles in the film. That’s how I would do it, if I were to make my own X-Men film
This is a great storyline, especially with the introduction of Mr. Sinister who has not been on the big screen. Just a few nitpicks though. 1. How did Rogue get her flying ability? 2. Let’s go with someone else as Cyclops since that actor was already waisted in the Eternals. My picks are Oliver Jackson-Cohen and unknown actor James Joseph Pulido. 3. I like the clone idea but let’s also show the Nasty Boys (Ruckus, Gorgeous George, Hairball, Slab, Sauson, Ramrod, and Vertigo)
1. everyone has asked. it’ll be explained when i do XMen 2 2. yeah i mentioned how richard madden was more of a placeholder. anyone with his vibe would fit. 3. yeah sure, why not.
The casting you have is on point! Especially Logan. I think that Wolverine would be great as a supporting character in an X-Men movie, who can star in his own solo film
The cast is almost perfect there is a couple issues though Richard Madden is Ikaris (which by the way means he could play him again via Multiverse means), Jefferey Wright is Uatu The Watcher and isn't just a side character, he is pivotal to the Multiverse Saga, and Christian Bale played Gorr the God Butcher which basically rules him out from playing another villain pale white villain. I have other ideas Cyclops-Glen Powell, Beast-Joel Edgerton, Mister Sinsiter-Taron Egerton. Also Gambit is interesting after Channing Tatum's performance, I kind of want him as MCU Gambit. Other than that all the other casting's are perfect and work and so does the pitch.
i was hoping to expand on it more in the sequel as the team and rogue figure out her powers more in depth. it would be revealed there who she got the powers from
16:18 I really hope you js put Pedro as stock footage, it’d be a waste of actor for Pedro to just be Anna’s dad Edit: I just remembered Pedro will be playing Reed Richards’s I’m sorry I just woke up
Cyclops being so stern and all about the mission kinda kills Cyclops' character for me. He's basically the Professor's perfect soldier - an extension of him. He doesn't become militaristic until way down the line. Jean, while warm, is also usually there to be the reassuring voice in his head when Scott is in doubt (which early on, is often).
DDL may just be the greatest actor of all time. Not my favorite of all time (that’s for jake gyllenhaal), but i can acknowledge that DDL and DiCaprio are probably the most talented. if only DDL hadn’t retired
@@Hipurchase i’d like that. get some new blood in here rather than reusing the same lineup. the x-men are known for their massive and revolving roster anyways
I'd have Sinister actually kidnap Rogue after the parent visit. When they get to the island the Xmen see a bunch of dead clones. Sinister has been using his clones and samples trying to complete the transfer of powers. Thing is, he is successful. There you have the Maurauders or the Nasty Boys or a group of unnamed sinister clones with powers. Give one of the clones Madrox's powers so you can still have the Wolvie berserker rage moment too.
Great pitch honestly perfect only problem is Rouge shouldn’t be able to fly if she literally just awakened her powers only reason rouge could fly is because she zapped all of carol danvers powers but clearly that didn’t happen yet so she shouldn’t be able to fly at all
I think the team at the beginning is First Class (or at least a first class easter egg) so the five year gap shows the evolution of the team since their time as the first class.
@@fakehappyfilms i think after she has met with her parents magneto being the one fetching her would make best of both worlds. She would see the world from his lens after her family abandoned her. What you think?
This is a good idea, although I would change one thing which is Rogue’s parents. It should just be her dad because in the comics, her biological mom was gone and her dad was abusive. It should be only her dad, that’s it
that’s great and it works for those stories, but it wouldn’t have worked here. comic book films are adaptations, not translations. i believe in changing things from the comics if it makes for a more impactful story
So Magneto’s appearance was for nothing? Plus, a missing opportunity for an Archangel arc? Making the fight with Sinister all the more personal? Iceman disappearing from the rest of the movie after Angel’s capture and transformation by Sinister? Archangel leading the Marauders?
Magneto’s appearance sets up the sequel, Angel isn’t a main character and i’m not using apocalypse, so there won’t be an Archangel. Angel wasn’t ever captured and transformed. I never mentioned the marauders. Did you watch the video…?
it could be cool to have wolverine staying on the island and drowning. than magneto arrives, sensing his adamantium super easily, and just pools him up and in to the jet. wolverine is unconscious, and beast starts pressing and getting water out of wolverines lungs. logan wakes and instinctively stabs beast through the shoulder. beast roars with pain and anger, punching logan unconscious again, really hurting his hand from punching adamantium. the team separate the two and everyone start laughing like crazy.
VERY GOOD VIDEO I WANT X MEN MCU LIKE THIS only thing i dont really like is who plays rogue and storm i think they should do Deborah Ayorinde looks exactly like storm and i think you picked for rogue has looks but her voice isn't southern so i say kiki plamer
I think X-Men film could benefit from an original story. For the lineup, I would pick Kitty Pride, Iceman (lighthearted member of the group), Cyclops (as field leader), Jean Grey, Hank McCoy, and Polaris. I chose Polaris as this would create a conflict for the X-Men, with Cyclops feeling that they cannot trust a progeny of Magneto, and Kitty believing that one should not hold individuals at fault for their parents actions, Iceman and Polaris end up in a relationship. Cyclops considers the possibility that Polaris is an undercover agent of Magneto, who is attempting to tear down the X-Men from the inside. He calls Iceman naive for falling for Polaris's charms and Kitty too trusting. Hank cautions Cyclops that they need to gather evidence before he does anything rash, and was even more important now given now given that Xavier has gone. Charles Xavier has been reported missing due to an incident with the Shadow King. When Lorna Dane's mother, Suzanna, discovered that she was a mutant, her powers were hidden from the rest of the world. Lorna was told that she should never use her abilities. As she believed this was a gift, and that she was forced to remove a part of who she was, she felt that she couldn't express her true self. One day Lorna lost control over her powers and inadvertently killed Suzanna and her husband, Arnold; she viewed her powers as a bane, and hated herself for it. Professor Xavier, after informing her of what the Institute for Gifted Youngsters is, and his role in it, taught her to control her powers, and view it as something she could be proud of. Charles is aware that Lorna is Magneto's daughter, but is non-judgmental towards her. The existence of Polaris in the X-Men puts an interesting dynamic between them and Magneto, who has to grapple with the fact that Charles has been a better father figure than he ever was. Magneto's war with humankind has made him to neglect his fatherly role. Erik told Lorna that he has never forgotten about her. Polaris is conflicted on having to attack her father, who Cyclops mistakenly takes this as evidence that she was on his side from the beginning. Iceman, due to his relationship with Lorna, sought to understand Magneto, and reach a common ground with him. He states that Lorna deserves to have a father in her life. Cyclops knew about that Iceman went to talk with Magneto, and came to conclusion that Lorna is turning X-Men against Xavier's dream, and Iceman states that Lorna has every right to be a member of the team, that the team has been the only place she felt safe in, and that they owe it to Xavier to have every mutant feel like they belong here. If he cannot do that, Iceman states, then he is a poor choice to take Xavier's place in his absence. Cyclops shuns Lorna, and keeps information privy to all X-Men members secret from her. Lorna believes that the school can no longer be considered her sanctuary. She leaves with Iceman, after spending a moment to think about what institute meant to her. Magneto goes to see Polaris, and offers her a place in his Brotherhood, which she refuses, given that the conflict with her 'family' started with fear of her being on his side. Cyclops has recurrent episodes where he fights to rid himself off of uncertainty of the future, and predict the worst possible outcome, in order to be able to prevent it from coming to pass. He feels responsible for everything that occurs under his watch, and for steering the ship to its destination. He looks at the portrait of Xavier and ponders: "What kind of soldier do you need now, Professor?". It is shown that Cyclops had to care for his brother Alex, and console him, when they were orphaned; and that everyone looks to him for how to proceed. Magneto focuses on making up for lost time he had with his daughter, and Bobby and Lorna go someplace where the world cannot decide their fate. Polaris believes that as long as they are mutants, they will have have no life, and one where they will deny their gifts is one not worth living. They move from place to place, trying to find somewhere which they call 'home'. Lorna meets Moira MacTaggart, who informs her that Charles has often talked about how strong she was, and that she was one of his best students. They are more then welcome to stay with her until they find a home for themselves. Moira provides an example that not all humans are anti-mutants. Inside Moira's home, she meets Kevin, who is struggling to deal with his reality wrapping powers and psychosis; Lorna confronts him and helps him be stable. Lorna asks how long the kid had issues, which Moira said they developed as a result of seeing his father, Joe, abuse her in front of him. She then states that Lorna is lucky that Magneto tries very hard to form a relationship with her. Lorna and Iceman help Moira gather materials needed to build a Mutant Research Center (that would be situated in Muir Island). In return, Moira assists Lorna be more able to deal with the prejudice she sees targeted at mutants, and make themselves seem normal to the outside world without having to deny her mutant side. Moira leaves for Scotland. Polaris asserts that the only place she can call home is with Iceman, and that she will do whatever it takes to protect what they have. Lorna Dane and Bobby Drake find themselves in battle against the Shadow King, who had amplified Cyclops's fear of loosing the dream Xavier fought so hard to protect. Magneto seemingly sacrifices his life to save Lorna. Cyclops begins to see Lorna for who she truly is. Ororo Monroe, although not in the X-Men, appears, and is worshiped as a god. She would be included in a cameo scene. Nightcrawler is referred to by the villagers called "The Blue Devil". Mutants are being called abominations across the globe and are being persecuted. Kitty Pride sees her trusting nature morph into a more cynical view of humanity. She no longer believes that humans are capable of peace. She leaves the X-Men in Act 3 of the first film. She meets and befriends Nightcrawler, whose words revitalizes her hope. In a post-credits scene, we finally see Charles Xavier; who has founded the Xavier School for gifted Youngsters and is teaching his first class. It is revealed that he is trapped in a continuous cycle by the Shadow King. The film will be called X-Men: Starlight
i love this pitch but i have one question. if rogue is meant to be new to the team and she’s just discovered her mutant powers, how was she able to fly at 14:08? doesn’t she not have to absorb Ms Marvel’s powers first?
Imagine if there was a scene where Rogue's parents find themselves confronted by MAGNETO for disowning their daughter: MAGNETO: "Bigot, ingrate, sycophant, worm. This is your dream. My kind splayed before you, powerless and afraid. All the X-Men have done is use their awesome power to protect a world that hates and fears them. Behold their reward. What must we do to be good enough? Is this the high road's destination? If so, I say as I have too many times before, NEVER AGAIN."
I feel like there should be more connection to the MCU (if this is an MCU movie) or more connection to humans, other than Rogue's father being a bigot. The "I'm so hurt humans don't accept us" stuff seems borderline trite without more context. If mutants exist in the MCU, they exist in the context of "The Avengers" (heroes, but kinda feared heroes) and Skrulls. I could picture a bunch of humans taking the position that The Avengers are dangerous (but necessary)... sorta like the military and Intelligence Community are seen. The Skrulls are definitely mistrusted and mostly hated as invaders. And mutants are... scary b/c they represent change that people don't understand and are fighting against accepting. In fact, in the post covid era, I think it's fair to assume that a significant block of people would actively not believe in mutants or think they were engineered by scientists to get people to live in fear and follow rules. And to be fair, I think some mutants would be open to the hypothesis that they were subjects who were genetically engineered as part of some plan they can only guess at.
@@fakehappyfilms yeah and he’s getting to old as well but I can’t lie, no matter how good an actor is for Wolverine in 2 billion years Hugh will take my number 1 spot for just pure nostalgia
@@Mrprince4245 understandable. that’s one role that’ll be unbelievably hard to follow up. my personal opinion is that they should let wolverine have a break and give other x-men time to shine, but he’s too much of a cash cow
@@fakehappyfilms yeah but that would be hard to do as well because almost every good X men movie had a Wolverine cameo and the ones that didnt like dark phoenix or etc are infamously known as trash, movies
@@fakehappyfilms I respect that! uahsuhuas Ive never thought about Richard Maidden as Cyclops, would be incredible. Although, I dont hate james marsden, part of me wanted him to have a second chance in an older verson of Scott. He looks like more like cyclops now than then.
My big issue is with Rogue. She's a villain that assaults Captain Marvel in a BRUTAL take down that seriously messes her up, but more importantly, gives her the flight and invulnerability and the character arc and pathway to redemption. Why skip this rich history? Seeing a young Rogue mopping the floor with Thor, and the following prolonged brutal smackdown hospitalization of Captain Marvel would absolutely establish the mutant threat.
@@fakehappyfilms I am also looking at the distrust between the Avengers and the X-Men being established for good reason. Having Rogue establish her powers as they were in the comics will emphasize the mutant threat (everything Rogue is, except the power leeching ability, is Carol Danvers, period). She's just ONE seemingly normal girl, and single-handedly took out ALL the Avengers' big guns. How could you not immediately scream that all of these people should be identified, because they are secret threats that potentially can take out the Avengers. Absolutely justified mutant hysteria.
@@fakehappyfilms Cool. I like your concepts so far. I have always loved to see how a story is constructed as much as the story itself and to see why you have done what you have done is cool.
Thank you for calling out comic book movies (cough, The Avengers (2012)) for having third acts that seem like CGI fests that aren't really that interesting.
I love this pitch but if your going to be bold enough to say this is the perfect pitch I think Rogues relationship to mystique and being a former villain is very important to her character but for one movie well done
I like how much Angel & Iceman, Original Xmen, are showing up here in this treatment. Warren & Bobby were great core characters for years in the comics, be sure to cast them well too!
gotta show respect to the first class
im flattered from the offer to cast me as scott, but i’m glad you didn’t so i wouldn’t steal the show. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
I think your prologue perfectly sets up Sinisters obsession with Scott and Jean so I think that’s who sinister should be after. It’s also more comic accurate.
This was a very thorough rundown of the ideal Xmen film. I'm glad you are emphasizing Mr. Sinister as the main villain here. We have seen enough of Magneto, very excited to see evil Nathan Essex!
The casting suggestions made are intriguing too.
thanks man. too much magneto recently. he'll be in the sequel to this video, but he wont be the main villain of it
As a hardcore X head I must point out some things. Fox already had Rogue as the villain’s means to an end. Fans will rip the idea to shreds. Sinister should stay obsessed with Scott and Jean. He should lure them into a trap. And if the only super-powered combatants are all Sinisters the audience will get bored fast. This is where the Marauders come in. And you confused me by not explaining who Rogue absorbed her super strength and the ability to fly from. But kudos for understanding emotional stakes in a fight
thank you for the feedback. i’m always trying to improve! i have part 2 coming out in the next few months
That is a really nice X-Men movie pitch you there, bub. But I think we could’ve had two prequel movies of the comic accurate X-Men first class and the Giant Size X-Men. Because throughout the MCU, I think the X-Men and the mutants would’ve been hidden from the whole world. I like your casting btw and I can agree with Richard Madden as Cyclops and Christian Bale as Mr. Sinister due to their previous MCU roles being wasted. I also like the other casting like Ralph Fiennes as Professor X, Jeffrey Wright as Beast, Jane Levy as Jean Grey, Anna Diop as Storm, Diana Silvers as Rogue, Austin Butler as Gambit, Jack Champion as Iceman, and Tom Blyth as Angel. BTW, I feel like Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, and Colossus could’ve been in the movie. If they were who would you have casted?
I'm not entirely sure who would've played those characters. I have a part 2 in the works as this was supposed to be the beginning of the story. thanks for watching, bub
@@fakehappyfilms no problem, man. Can’t wait to see part 2.
But Richard Madden is Icaris already
@@YoureRightIThink this isn’t connected to the mcu
Great video. Really appreciate your thoughts. Can tell just how much you love these characters. Glad you’ve given Cyclops recognition. He has always been criminally underused in live action films. Let’s hope your pitch makes it to Marvel!
cyclops is a top 5 marvel character for me! thanks for watching 🙏
Do you get copyright infringements for these type of videos?
@@fernathebest414 nope. i’m very careful though. no clip can be longer than 5.9 seconds and i only use copyright free music
This was absolutely perfect i loved every bit of this. And thank you for treating Cyclops with some actual respect.
Nah this is better than Wonka wtfff! We makin it outta the editing software with this one 🔥🗣️
straight outta final cut pro 🔥
I did enjoy it very much. However I think the Plot of a villain wanting to use rogues power has already been done. It would be cool to have leaned into rogues villain origin turned hero. And maybe have kitty been the point of view character
understandable
I think it could have tied really well into the overall story if, instead of Weapon Plus, it was Sinister who experimented on Logan. Just an idea, as I would have loved to have seen more of him in this pitch, but I loved the video as it is.
Loved this can’t wait for part 2!
thanks for watching!
Having sinister as a villian is also a great way to eventually bring in Apocalypse. Sinister has so much history, his plan can be woven through 100 years. Its dope. Good idea.
Wait… where is Jubilee?
f*ck jubilee 💀
@@fakehappyfilms Damn
She a boring character, she just stands out based on her look, but ever her powers are mid.
@@TeWhero Yeah. She was the worse part of the 90s cartoon, her powers were trash too. Jubilee reminded me of Jade from Jackie Chan adventures.
What if she was interesting? I have an idea regarding that. At the end of episode 2, her parents accepted her as a mutant and gave her permission to go with the X-Men to learn to control her powers. Even though she's a mutant, they still love her no matter what she's born. With this in mind, she could be the missing link that bridges the separate borders of humankind and mutantkind together in unity and harmony. As her name implies, on one certain day, it could mark the long-awaited union between both kinds as it would be a day of jubilee. However, this is just my idea. What do you think?
Thank you for using Storm for something useful. She is an omega level mutant that has been wasted time and time again. Great pitch but i wish it was a Disney+ series to give this a longer run time.
Storm is a top 3 x-men member
My pitch fir the opening scene: The movie opens on two guards on the top of a building patrolling the perimeter. They're having some small conversations about staying vigilant for mutants. Then we see a shadowy figure fly over them and they turn around to figure out what it was and before they can contact anyone else, they are not out by Angel who radios to the other X-Men that the roof has been secured. Then we see someone riding a bicycle up to the front of the building and the guards try to stop them but they are beat up and when the person takes off their masks reveal that it's Jubilee popping gum. She radios to the others that the front entrance has been secured and then it flashes to the back of the building to show that ice man has frozen the guards in the rear. Scott, Jean and Storm enter the building with a warning from Beast through coms that they need to be extra stealthy. Which is why everyone is wearing black at this point. The three of them make their way through the building disarming security cameras and sensors as they go. When they reach the asset Scott is a little too hasty and accidentally trips an alarm. That's when the walls start to come down and it reveals that we are in the danger room and this is an exercise and now we get to see the X-Men fighting in the danger room as a team.
I feel like this is a better opening than the one we got in the last stand.
I think having the tension between wolverine and Scott is enough, the love triangle is honestly tiring, so I think just having tension just be the two of them without Jean is enough imo
@@AntoineQuiambao Bless you. I'm so tired of the love triangle.
Me too, it has gotten so old
No it's a classic keep it in
Magneto threatening to kill Rogue to raise the stakes... it kinda fits. But to be interesting I think it needs to feel like it's a plausible scenario.
If the X-Men are taking her to Mr. Sinister for the fight, Magneto's threat will kick in too late to be relevant. Plus, it's not clear how he would find her.
Not a major plot hole, but something that conceivably could be tightened up.
Magneto wants mutants to be dominant over humans. if rogue becomes a problem (a mutant who can take other’s abilities), that would set him off.
him finding her and all that would be for part 2 of this series
@montreval The point I'm having trouble with = if Mr. Sinister already harnessed Rogue there's the "closing the barn door after the horse has left" problem.
@montreval Also, there should be a line that at least hints at what Magneto knows of Mr. Sinister. Is Magneto keeping a computer with threats to mutants and has his own intelligence operation? Did he encounter Mr. Sinister?
@@NybergCarl He didn’t harness rogue. the x-men stopped him before he could
Great film idea. You're 100% right about Cyclops. Cyclops has to be an alpha. The original Cyclops was 6'3" 205lbs. And a great leader. I think the love triangle should be saved for the sequel though. Unfortunately Disney owns Marvel. Marvel comics has been dead since 2009. Disney wants to push certain agendas which is why they won't do X-MEN the right way. Great script idea. You should write it just in case.
man should be a human tactical WEAPON 🔥🔥
Having Scott Summers innovate a plan in the middle of a fight that is based on stuff he knew when they planned the attack seems like a minor plot hole.
But the imagery of a cataclysmic hurricane submerging an island does tap into concerns about rising sea levels and hurricanes increasing in intensity.
I don't know if it would be in character, but Beast adding a comment about how hurricanes have different names based on where they are in the world and technically this is more a cyclone or if Logan were Australian instead of Canadian he might call it a "willy-willies".
I liked the idea but having Storm solo killing all the clones? Maybe a plan where more powers are combine to defeat the clones Can work better. Also why is it that rouge can fly if she just got her powers?
Bro is doing the x-men justice 🔥🔥🔥
i sure hope so!
Christian Bale as Mr Sinister...I am sold; that alone makes me want to finance your vision if I could...
ha! much love my friend 🙏
The major problem with the MCU and most who have the Marvel Universe characters is that it's not about what we want to see. The time is changing, and they just churn out mostly soulless dreck. The movie I would love is a feature-length "Decent" from the X-Men the Animated series; the history of Mr Sinister. He could be the Dr. Doom of the X-men with a Dr. Frankenstein spin....a real cerebral and terrifying mutant.
Just an idea ...
As a big X-Men fan myself I think your movie pitch was fantastic but I'd think it would work even better in a Netflix series!
thanks! although i wouldn’t say netflix. give it to HBO instead!
They’re way too big for a series bro. Movie is best.
I dont think anyone in the upper MCU executives has ever seen that video of what Stan Lee said at the beginning of the video. That, they dont care about his opinion on the IP he helped make so popular in the 1st place.
I think Gifted portrayed the mutant experience almost perfectly, sure the show wasn’t great but showing how mutants are treated by human civilians rather than just government officials with such depth was something that the movies never delve deep enough into
i like that. i'll make sure to use more civilians in the sequel
Nice use of Cyclops drawing from DiviantArt.
I favorited that version of Cyclops.
it’s great art
OK, my pitch. Here we go:
Mutants used to operate like 0.000001% of the globe, but since the blip's energy activated the mutant dormant gene, that number has increased exponentially. This has led to a great controversy around how to treat mutants. This is brought to ahead when the supervillain Arcade (Ben Schwartz), a psychotic techno path, shows up. He has kidnapped a bunch of mutants from around the world, put them in a place he calls "murder-world", is forcing them to fight to the death, and is streaming it to the world. This has led to a massive controversy, as an argument is spreading that the X-Gene is a sign of celestial/eternal DNA, therefore not qualifying you as human. Insane pastor and US senator Will Stryker (Matthew McConaughey) is the main voice against this, attempting to convince the world that these mutants don't deserve or qualify for any help. The X-Men, which here consists of Professor X (Ralph Fiennes), Cyclops (Tom Hopper), Jean Grey (Rose Leslie), Iceman (Justice Smith), Angel (Rege Jean-Page) and Beast (Joel Edgerton), are trying to convince the world that mutants are good, whilst trying to look for Arcade and Murder World. At the same time, the Brotherhood of Mutants, a terrorist group led by Magneto (Jason Isaacs), with the notable member of Mystique (Sofia Boutella), are active, looking for Arcade as well, but through much more violent means. This highlights the differences between the two factions, along with showing how the world views mutants. Plus, Murder World can introduce us to other mutants forced to fight, such as Jubilee, Gambit, etc. I haven't really thought beyond that though.
Movie 2: Mr Sinister (Hugh Grant comedy casting, I'd actually say Tom Ellis) kidnaps the OG X-Men, and begins conducting experiments. Xavier forms a new team, Wolverine (IDK, Tom Hardy), Storm (Jodie Turner-Smith), Nightcrawler (Matthias Schweighofer), Colossus (Florian Munteanu) and others I won't cast here. Rogue (Lily James) will also debut here, as the Brotherhood attempt to capitalise through a mass recruitment scheme. Jean is tortured further by Sinister, leading to a clone called Madeline Pryor. Angel's wings are removed as well
Movie 3: Sinister uses his research to resurrect Apocalypse, who starts plans for world destruction, forcing mutants to team up and stop him. Apocalypse's Four Horseman are Angel, Madeline Pryor, Psyloche and Gambit (I like the idea of Sinister preparing the Horsemen previously). Meanwhile, the Hellfire Club, led by Emma Frost (Rosamund Pike) and Sebastian Shaw (Rufus Sewell) start to turn Jean into the new Black Queen, as Magneto starts to investigate them.
Movie 4 (and final): Jean is controlled by the Hellfire Club, goes psycho, kills many, many people, dies. Magneto and X team up to build Krakoa, and the mutants retire to their own nation.
In between films: A high school drama called "the worst mutants", starring X-Ceptional, a mutant with the power to explode once. He is in school with his weird friends, such as Beak, Maggot and Eye-Guy. Quentin Quire and his "Alpha Gang" of powerful mutants, serve as the bullies, while Armour and Jubilee can serve as the cool girls. Features cameos from the X-Men as the films occur in the background. Plus, the teachers are Banshee and Forge, neither of whom are part of the X-Men anymore.
The Cyclops and Jean Gray casting is just perfect
@@The_Presbyterian thanks! i’m not super sold on my cyclops casting, but i really like jean. you could really get any big guy with a square jawline and demanding voice and get cyclops
If you knew what truth actually was you'd be scared to know it.
I think Dark Avengers Movie can be possible
as
1.Justin Hammer as Iron Patriot or Titanium man
2.John Walker as US agent
Abomination
3.Ares is counterpart to thor
4.Yelena as Crimson widow
5.Bullseye as Hawkeye
6.Yon-Rogg as Captain Marvel
7.Mac gargan can be Spider-Man as he got the black suit first and corrupting it befor it gets to Peter Parker
Valentina being Nick fury of the group along with Ross
Villain could be Sentry for the first half but we will know that the void has controlling him from the beginning.
Abomination could die so red Hulk or skarr can be next Hulk
Some other members could be ghost white wolf (Bucky barnes) sabertooth(Wolverine) moon stone (Ms marvel)
How do you like my idea pls reply....
bro i like that a lot. my only thing with it is it might be too much to setup in a single movie. but with proper setup beforehand, its a banger
@@fakehappyfilms yeah I know what you want to say but some characters may got teased others may already get recruited in other post credit scene such as Mac gargan , Justin hammer , abomination and bullseye could be in the raft but in the five years time skip they could also get recruited too. As for Yon-Rogg and Ares they could get set up for part 2 maybe an character gets mad or overwhelmed by his powers could not control it and causes havok like graviton . So they need some heavy hitters to take him down . This first movie could take place during the time of blip they will be supervillains impersonating the superheroes and took their place .
Personally I would do a tv show following the comics but will be slightly different of course
i actually considered this being a tv series, but i want my first series pitch to be Lanterns
Im sorry, folks but in terms of filmmaking, X-Men Days of Future Past is pretty darn perfect. John Campea came close to saying the same thing when he reviewed the movie
That movie needed a little more Rogue and future battles. But yeah it was almost perfect.
I didn't like that movie, but that's just me
i wouldnt say perfect, but i would say it has many more positives than negatives
@@fakehappyfilms Whatever
@@LukeLovesRose bro i literally just agreed with you. calm down 💀
I agree that Mr Sinister should be one of the first villains the X-men fight in the MCU as he is such a prominent villain in the franchise and has such a fun, deviously evil and suave personality that makes him such a fun villain with ties and connections to characters like Scott and Jean. I also appreciate how much focus you gave Soctt, as many fans agree he should get more screen time and be the protagonist of the franchise. My casting for some of the X-men characters in this movie includes:
Brenton Thwaites as Cyclops/Scott Summers
Rose Leslie or Jane Levy as Jean Grey/Marvel Girl
Milo Gibson, Taron Egerton or Jared Keeso as James Logan Howlett/Wolverine
Joel Edgerton as Hank McCoy/Beast
Jodie Turner-Smith or Anna Diop, as Ororo Munroe/Storm
Brandon Flynn as Iceman
Kele Palmer or Julia Garner as Anna Maria/Rogue
Francis Civil or Austin Butler as Remy Lebou/Gambit
Ralph Fiennes or Pip Torrens a Charles Xavier/Professor X
Kaitlyn Dever or Maude Apatow as Kitty Pride/Shadowcat
Louis Hofmann as Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler
Danila Kozlovsky as Peter Rasputin/Colossus
Tom Ellis as Nathaniel Essex/Mr Sinister
dude you’ve got some really solid castings in there!
i love cyclops. he’s easily in my top 5 marvel characters. and mister sinister has such a cool presence that has just been ignored for so long
@@fakehappyfilms@montreval Thank you. I took a lot of inspiration from other fantastic performances I've seen. Are you going to do more X-men pitch videos with characters like Magneto, The Brotherhood of Mutants, etc...?
BTW, I also agree with everything you said about Cyclops being the main character and leader of the Xmen, as well as Mr Sinister being a fun villain. I like the idea of Christian Bale in the role, but I think of Tom personally. Ellis would bring so much life, energy, and devious nature to Sinister's character without seeming too campy or flamboyant, especially after his iconic performance as Lucifer.
I have a part 2 in the works!@@milkiassamuel780
I like your mentality ("-a guy with a love for these characters, and a passion for movies ... inspired out of that love and passion. Not the opinion that I could do better than the professionals"). Rather, I relate to that mentality. I've been working on my own X-Men thing for a while now coming from a similar place (in fact, we have more than a few story points in common).
I love your idea for the ending from the point of "how big of a hurricane can you make?"
And like someone else said, I like the inclusion of Angel and Iceman, too.
I vibed with some choices while not with others, but the ride of this video was definitely worth my time--which I was supposed to be spending on drafting the next part of my X-adventure! So gotta' BAMF.
See you around, fellow X-Fan!
*BAMFS back*
Also love how you started your video with that Stan Lee clip. Good stuff.
@@TechtraColour i appreciate you man! I’ve been trying to crack the script for XMen Part 2 for like a year now but I think I’m getting close
@@fakehappyfilms I'm the 3rd year into my thing! Getting close-*er*.
I actually released a good chunk of it - multi-part story (not videos) - between Jan and Nov of last year (figuring "never or now"), and presently I'm going back over it all to release an improved draft. I didn't get through the whole of my plans on the first go but decided I couldn't live with myself any further until I fixed up the foundation. xD
My detour of watching your video last night actually served to pivot my thinking and I went from in a slump to bangin' it out pretty good today. : ) (don't worry, not stealing anything ; ) My train of thought operates on an interesting track).
So, do you actually have these as like full, screenplay-type scripts? Or do you mean you're working on your script for your youtube video pitching Part 2?
(btw, forgot to mention last night as well, I like your dialogue. All of the bit with Rogue from the convo with her family to Jean speaking to her hit particularly nice, but in general what was said sounded right coming out of the mouths you put it in. Nice vid editing, too).
I like how Iceman and Angel arent just dismissed or killed off. Maybe they could have a moment to shine later on?
YES. I’ve BEEN saying Austin Butler is the perfect Gambit ever since Elvis. You’re the first UA-camr I’ve seen with the same idea!
YES! he'd be PERFECT. glad someone agrees!
Whos playing Iceman and Angel
jack champion and tom blyth
This is a nice pitch for an X-Men movie. My pitch however is slightly different. I have 7 members on the team as well, but different. It includes Professor X, Cyclops, Phoenix, Storm, Beast, Iceman, and Angel. Personally, I think they should focus on the original 5 members, plus having Storm as a founding member as well. Wolverine, Gambit, and Rogue should be saved for other films after the first one. I do have Mr. Sinister as the main villain, but I think he should be more obsessed with the current core roster of the X-Men team, instead of being obsessed with Rogue because we’ve seen that already in the first Fox X-Men film. Magneto should be saved for later films like you said, but just don’t have him in this film, he can be mentioned, and even Wolverine can, but just not have them in the film. And of course give Iceman and Angel big main character roles in the film. That’s how I would do it, if I were to make my own X-Men film
This is a great storyline, especially with the introduction of Mr. Sinister who has not been on the big screen. Just a few nitpicks though.
1. How did Rogue get her flying ability?
2. Let’s go with someone else as Cyclops since that actor was already waisted in the Eternals. My picks are Oliver Jackson-Cohen and unknown actor James Joseph Pulido.
3. I like the clone idea but let’s also show the Nasty Boys (Ruckus, Gorgeous George, Hairball, Slab, Sauson, Ramrod, and Vertigo)
1. everyone has asked. it’ll be explained when i do XMen 2
2. yeah i mentioned how richard madden was more of a placeholder. anyone with his vibe would fit.
3. yeah sure, why not.
@@fakehappyfilms can’t wait to hear part 2
The casting you have is on point! Especially Logan. I think that Wolverine would be great as a supporting character in an X-Men movie, who can star in his own solo film
thanks! logan should always be important, but not the MOST important
The cast is almost perfect there is a couple issues though Richard Madden is Ikaris (which by the way means he could play him again via Multiverse means), Jefferey Wright is Uatu The Watcher and isn't just a side character, he is pivotal to the Multiverse Saga, and Christian Bale played Gorr the God Butcher which basically rules him out from playing another villain pale white villain. I have other ideas Cyclops-Glen Powell, Beast-Joel Edgerton, Mister Sinsiter-Taron Egerton. Also Gambit is interesting after Channing Tatum's performance, I kind of want him as MCU Gambit. Other than that all the other casting's are perfect and work and so does the pitch.
@@SSBFan33-i3b this isn’t an MCU movie
love the rocketman reunion fancast 🤩🤩🤩
I'm a fan of most of this. But an I missing the part where we explained who Rogue stole the power of flight from?
i was hoping to expand on it more in the sequel as the team and rogue figure out her powers more in depth. it would be revealed there who she got the powers from
For Mr. Sinister I was thinking of Jason Isaacs, I think he has the look slightly better than Bale. Nonetheless these castings are 🔥
funny enough, during the edit i was like “antony star would kill this role. why did i use him?” 😂
thank you for watching! i appreciate you
Glenn Powell for cyclops & yes give me Taron as wolverine!!! I’ve been saying Austin butler as gambit this is amazing bro!!
Austin Butler as Gambit is peak

Edit: I just remembered Pedro will be playing Reed Richards’s I’m sorry I just woke up
@@MalumBurro14 don’t worry, i did. i needed footage that resembled the scene and the first thing that came to mind was that scene from TLOU 🙏
I think we really have to hit on how rouge got her strength and flight. What better tim than now 😂😂
something i'm gonna cover in the sequel!
Cyclops being so stern and all about the mission kinda kills Cyclops' character for me. He's basically the Professor's perfect soldier - an extension of him. He doesn't become militaristic until way down the line. Jean, while warm, is also usually there to be the reassuring voice in his head when Scott is in doubt (which early on, is often).
understandable
Nice pitch for an men movie no cap; how would you introduce X-men to the MCU
deadpool 3 shenanigans. have deadpool rewrite the mcu to have mutants
The idea of DDL playing an older, long haired Magneto is too fucking good of an idea to ever actually happen
DDL may just be the greatest actor of all time. Not my favorite of all time (that’s for jake gyllenhaal), but i can acknowledge that DDL and DiCaprio are probably the most talented. if only DDL hadn’t retired
@@fakehappyfilms I think DDL is in a league of his own, and for me he’s the greatest ever. If you haven’t seen it, check out The Last of the Mohicans
I was hoping they’d go forward with the new mutants i think we’ve seen the og team before and that was always my favorite team from the comics
@@Hipurchase i’d like that. get some new blood in here rather than reusing the same lineup. the x-men are known for their massive and revolving roster anyways

@@dumi_chenu3730 i’m just some guy making videos in my room instead of going to college 😂
I'd have Sinister actually kidnap Rogue after the parent visit. When they get to the island the Xmen see a bunch of dead clones. Sinister has been using his clones and samples trying to complete the transfer of powers. Thing is, he is successful. There you have the Maurauders or the Nasty Boys or a group of unnamed sinister clones with powers. Give one of the clones Madrox's powers so you can still have the Wolvie berserker rage moment too.
GIVE THIS MAN MY X-MEN MOVIE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
nah fr. that’s so much better than what i had 😭
@@fakehappyfilms Hey, you did all the heavy lifting! I just had a suggestion. Lol.
Great pitch honestly perfect only problem is Rouge shouldn’t be able to fly if she literally just awakened her powers only reason rouge could fly is because she zapped all of carol danvers powers but clearly that didn’t happen yet so she shouldn’t be able to fly at all
i know that, but captain marvel isn’t in this universe. this isn’t connected to anything 🤷♂️
First good casting video I've seen damn
I like the pitch but why the 5 year gap? Couldn't Rogue be introduced with the rest of the team
I think the team at the beginning is First Class (or at least a first class easter egg) so the five year gap shows the evolution of the team since their time as the first class.
It gives time for cyclops to become a leader to lead this team against mister sinister. the movie is about fixing their failure in that opening scene
Really good overall but I think Rouge's story should be closer to her comics one. It would be great to see her being a villain before a hero.
@@congratulations- orrrre why tell the same story that’s been told before? maybe she starts as a hero, then a villain, then back to hero
@@fakehappyfilms i think after she has met with her parents magneto being the one fetching her would make best of both worlds. She would see the world from his lens after her family abandoned her. What you think?
@@congratulations- i love it
Is this a classroom presentation or some graduation ceremony?
This is a good idea, although I would change one thing which is Rogue’s parents. It should just be her dad because in the comics, her biological mom was gone and her dad was abusive. It should be only her dad, that’s it
that’s great and it works for those stories, but it wouldn’t have worked here. comic book films are adaptations, not translations. i believe in changing things from the comics if it makes for a more impactful story
So Magneto’s appearance was for nothing? Plus, a missing opportunity for an Archangel arc? Making the fight with Sinister all the more personal? Iceman disappearing from the rest of the movie after Angel’s capture and transformation by Sinister? Archangel leading the Marauders?
Magneto’s appearance sets up the sequel, Angel isn’t a main character and i’m not using apocalypse, so there won’t be an Archangel. Angel wasn’t ever captured and transformed. I never mentioned the marauders.
Did you watch the video…?

Sinister was not originally a mutant

it could be cool to have wolverine staying on the island and drowning.
than magneto arrives, sensing his adamantium super easily, and just pools him up and in to the jet.
wolverine is unconscious, and beast starts pressing and getting water out of wolverines lungs.
logan wakes and instinctively stabs beast through the shoulder.
beast roars with pain and anger, punching logan unconscious again,
really hurting his hand from punching adamantium.

@@Mitsu2040 honestly, i’d love to make a prequel movie with the first class
Sinister could have just kidnapped Mimic ha
Iceman & Angel weren't in your initial list of 7 X-Men.
true because they aren’t on my official roster
I think X-Men film could benefit from an original story. For the lineup, I would pick Kitty Pride, Iceman (lighthearted member of the group), Cyclops (as field leader), Jean Grey, Hank McCoy, and Polaris. I chose Polaris as this would create a conflict for the X-Men, with Cyclops feeling that they cannot trust a progeny of Magneto, and Kitty believing that one should not hold individuals at fault for their parents actions, Iceman and Polaris end up in a relationship. Cyclops considers the possibility that Polaris is an undercover agent of Magneto, who is attempting to tear down the X-Men from the inside. He calls Iceman naive for falling for Polaris's charms and Kitty too trusting. Hank cautions Cyclops that they need to gather evidence before he does anything rash, and was even more important now given now given that Xavier has gone. Charles Xavier has been reported missing due to an incident with the Shadow King.
When Lorna Dane's mother, Suzanna, discovered that she was a mutant, her powers were hidden from the rest of the world. Lorna was told that she should never use her abilities. As she believed this was a gift, and that she was forced to remove a part of who she was, she felt that she couldn't express her true self. One day Lorna lost control over her powers and inadvertently killed Suzanna and her husband, Arnold; she viewed her powers as a bane, and hated herself for it. Professor Xavier, after informing her of what the Institute for Gifted Youngsters is, and his role in it, taught her to control her powers, and view it as something she could be proud of. Charles is aware that Lorna is Magneto's daughter, but is non-judgmental towards her.
The existence of Polaris in the X-Men puts an interesting dynamic between them and Magneto, who has to grapple with the fact that Charles has been a better father figure than he ever was. Magneto's war with humankind has made him to neglect his fatherly role. Erik told Lorna that he has never forgotten about her. Polaris is conflicted on having to attack her father, who Cyclops mistakenly takes this as evidence that she was on his side from the beginning. Iceman, due to his relationship with Lorna, sought to understand Magneto, and reach a common ground with him. He states that Lorna deserves to have a father in her life. Cyclops knew about that Iceman went to talk with Magneto, and came to conclusion that Lorna is turning X-Men against Xavier's dream, and Iceman states that Lorna has every right to be a member of the team, that the team has been the only place she felt safe in, and that they owe it to Xavier to have every mutant feel like they belong here. If he cannot do that, Iceman states, then he is a poor choice to take Xavier's place in his absence.
Cyclops shuns Lorna, and keeps information privy to all X-Men members secret from her. Lorna believes that the school can no longer be considered her sanctuary. She leaves with Iceman, after spending a moment to think about what institute meant to her. Magneto goes to see Polaris, and offers her a place in his Brotherhood, which she refuses, given that the conflict with her 'family' started with fear of her being on his side. Cyclops has recurrent episodes where he fights to rid himself off of uncertainty of the future, and predict the worst possible outcome, in order to be able to prevent it from coming to pass. He feels responsible for everything that occurs under his watch, and for steering the ship to its destination. He looks at the portrait of Xavier and ponders: "What kind of soldier do you need now, Professor?". It is shown that Cyclops had to care for his brother Alex, and console him, when they were orphaned; and that everyone looks to him for how to proceed.
Magneto focuses on making up for lost time he had with his daughter, and Bobby and Lorna go someplace where the world cannot decide their fate. Polaris believes that as long as they are mutants, they will have have no life, and one where they will deny their gifts is one not worth living. They move from place to place, trying to find somewhere which they call 'home'. Lorna meets Moira MacTaggart, who informs her that Charles has often talked about how strong she was, and that she was one of his best students. They are more then welcome to stay with her until they find a home for themselves. Moira provides an example that not all humans are anti-mutants. Inside Moira's home, she meets Kevin, who is struggling to deal with his reality wrapping powers and psychosis; Lorna confronts him and helps him be stable. Lorna asks how long the kid had issues, which Moira said they developed as a result of seeing his father, Joe, abuse her in front of him. She then states that Lorna is lucky that Magneto tries very hard to form a relationship with her. Lorna and Iceman help Moira gather materials needed to build a Mutant Research Center (that would be situated in Muir Island). In return, Moira assists Lorna be more able to deal with the prejudice she sees targeted at mutants, and make themselves seem normal to the outside world without having to deny her mutant side. Moira leaves for Scotland.
Polaris asserts that the only place she can call home is with Iceman, and that she will do whatever it takes to protect what they have. Lorna Dane and Bobby Drake find themselves in battle against the Shadow King, who had amplified Cyclops's fear of loosing the dream Xavier fought so hard to protect. Magneto seemingly sacrifices his life to save Lorna. Cyclops begins to see Lorna for who she truly is.
Ororo Monroe, although not in the X-Men, appears, and is worshiped as a god. She would be included in a cameo scene. Nightcrawler is referred to by the villagers called "The Blue Devil". Mutants are being called abominations across the globe and are being persecuted. Kitty Pride sees her trusting nature morph into a more cynical view of humanity. She no longer believes that humans are capable of peace. She leaves the X-Men in Act 3 of the first film. She meets and befriends Nightcrawler, whose words revitalizes her hope.
In a post-credits scene, we finally see Charles Xavier; who has founded the Xavier School for gifted Youngsters and is teaching his first class. It is revealed that he is trapped in a continuous cycle by the Shadow King.
The film will be called X-Men: Starlight
i love this pitch but i have one question. if rogue is meant to be new to the team and she’s just discovered her mutant powers, how was she able to fly at 14:08? doesn’t she not have to absorb Ms Marvel’s powers first?
@@krystallight2880 i’ve gotten this question a million times but it’s alright. all questions will be answered when i drop the sequel to this video!
Imagine if there was a scene where Rogue's parents find themselves confronted by MAGNETO for disowning their daughter:
MAGNETO: "Bigot, ingrate, sycophant, worm. This is your dream. My kind splayed before you, powerless and afraid. All the X-Men have done is use their awesome power to protect a world that hates and fears them. Behold their reward. What must we do to be good enough? Is this the high road's destination? If so, I say as I have too many times before, NEVER AGAIN."
PEAK
Sinister definitely needs some henchmen beyond an army of pale skinned Christian Bales. Maybe a version of the marauders or the nasty boys
I feel like there should be more connection to the MCU (if this is an MCU movie) or more connection to humans, other than Rogue's father being a bigot. The "I'm so hurt humans don't accept us" stuff seems borderline trite without more context.
If mutants exist in the MCU, they exist in the context of "The Avengers" (heroes, but kinda feared heroes) and Skrulls. I could picture a bunch of humans taking the position that The Avengers are dangerous (but necessary)... sorta like the military and Intelligence Community are seen. The Skrulls are definitely mistrusted and mostly hated as invaders. And mutants are... scary b/c they represent change that people don't understand and are fighting against accepting.
In fact, in the post covid era, I think it's fair to assume that a significant block of people would actively not believe in mutants or think they were engineered by scientists to get people to live in fear and follow rules. And to be fair, I think some mutants would be open to the hypothesis that they were subjects who were genetically engineered as part of some plan they can only guess at.
this isn’t MCU connected. just my own thing.
that’s an interesting angle though almost gives off The Boys vibes with mutants begin created in a lab
@@fakehappyfilms Not knowing where one comes from is a question that Marvel hasn't explored on the individual level much.
Ngl i almost left the video when you didn’t pick Hugh as Wolverine but I realized it was for the best
gotta have some new faces. change is good and people gotta get used to that 🤷♂️
@@fakehappyfilms yeah and he’s getting to old as well but I can’t lie, no matter how good an actor is for Wolverine in 2 billion years Hugh will take my number 1 spot for just pure nostalgia
@@Mrprince4245 understandable. that’s one role that’ll be unbelievably hard to follow up. my personal opinion is that they should let wolverine have a break and give other x-men time to shine, but he’s too much of a cash cow
@@fakehappyfilms yeah
@@fakehappyfilms yeah but that would be hard to do as well because almost every good X men movie had a Wolverine cameo and the ones that didnt like dark phoenix or etc are infamously known as trash, movies
That's a good cast choice
Hot take: Cyclops should be played by someone slimmer, I’ve always enjoyed the idea of Callum Turner as he overall has the look down
@@herberthoovers we don’t need a body builder, but someone a bit bigger would be nice
Wow this is brilliant
@@SuperDG333 you’re brilliant!
The costumes are a big part of why ive been dissapointed with the xmen movies so far. among other things.
valid
HEnrY CaVIlL as CYCLOPS YESSIR THE ONLY REDEMPTION FROM HIS Character assassination… ):
i wouldnt hate that casting
I thought that was f--- awesome!!!!!!
yessirrrrrr
I only cast one thing differently, Jon Hamm as Sinister.
solid casting that was almost a reality, but too basic for me. i typically like to not go with the top option
@@fakehappyfilms I respect that! uahsuhuas Ive never thought about Richard Maidden as Cyclops, would be incredible. Although, I dont hate james marsden, part of me wanted him to have a second chance in an older verson of Scott. He looks like more like cyclops now than then.
@@giovannapaulucci2206 i could see that. i also don’t love reusing castings, but irl id like to see him get another shot
@@fakehappyfilms me too
Would be nice to see jubilee and morph
i cant stand jubilee, so she wont be appearing
I think you forgot to fancast Angel
Tom Blyth. It’s in there
My big issue is with Rogue.
She's a villain that assaults Captain Marvel in a BRUTAL take down that seriously messes her up, but more importantly, gives her the flight and invulnerability and the character arc and pathway to redemption. Why skip this rich history? Seeing a young Rogue mopping the floor with Thor, and the following prolonged brutal smackdown hospitalization of Captain Marvel would absolutely establish the mutant threat.
i agree. i shouldve fleshed out more of rogue towards the beginning rather than waiting until the ending with her parents
@@fakehappyfilms I am also looking at the distrust between the Avengers and the X-Men being established for good reason. Having Rogue establish her powers as they were in the comics will emphasize the mutant threat (everything Rogue is, except the power leeching ability, is Carol Danvers, period). She's just ONE seemingly normal girl, and single-handedly took out ALL the Avengers' big guns.
How could you not immediately scream that all of these people should be identified, because they are secret threats that potentially can take out the Avengers.
Absolutely justified mutant hysteria.
U stated this is a planned 2 parter and this was part 1 - so was there ever a part 2 to this
@@cliffwoodbury5319 I haven’t cracked the script yet. But the part 2 will eventually release
@@fakehappyfilms Cool. I like your concepts so far. I have always loved to see how a story is constructed as much as the story itself and to see why you have done what you have done is cool.
@@cliffwoodbury5319 thanks man. I really appreciate that ✌️
Rogue flies off how? Whos power did she absorb at that point?
captain marvel, at least in the comics
don't worry. the sequel is coming and it'll answer everyone's questions
Thank you for calling out comic book movies (cough, The Avengers (2012)) for having third acts that seem like CGI fests that aren't really that interesting.
Would you take some friendly criticism? It be interesting share each others point of view on making an X-men movie.
i love criticism
I’m sold
I love this pitch but if your going to be bold enough to say this is the perfect pitch I think Rogues relationship to mystique and being a former villain is very important to her character but for one movie well done
thank you my friend
