When Morph says to Sinister “you’ve always looked the same to me.”… I can’t but feel Morph is telling us that because of his abilities to mask, Morph can see to the true core of any person, shapeshifter or not.
i just hope Nightcrawler is badass in the MCU
When’s that coming out
they better do my boy right like they did in ‘97 😭🔥
Hey that panel of wolverine at 5:22 looks an awful lot like the shot of Logan falling to his knees in the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer
Exactly 😂
Thats true, we could have a version of that, that only wolverine realises that all mutants are gone due to the scarlet witch but in this version he gave up on it so Deadpool pushes him to make a stand and get help from casandra Nova. Or something like that.
i was just gonna say that!!
I 100% felt like that House of M description could be Deadpool v Wolverine
Yeah it does!
All I know is that Scott NEEDS to be the Main character, the Cap of the X-Men like in 97.
Um no. There’s more than 1 X-Man and all there stories need to be balanced. Let’s not make the Bryan Singer mistake where he basically made it a Wolverine trilogy.
@@KastorCigmatrue we need them to highlight the whole X-Men team
@@KastorCigmaand that’s what also made 97 so good; they focused on the whole team and fleshed them more than what we got in the original animated series.
I always felt like cyclops would have a major role in apocalypse and dark phoenix, but as always, he's sidelined through the rest of the movie. But at least they don't heavily focus on wolverine
@@KastorCigmaum yes 😆
I need Gambit to be done well. He’s now my favorite after X-men 97🤣
Terrible character in every way.
@@JonO387give me an actual reason as to why he’s a bad character that applies to every version of
It's kind of sad that you needed to see X-Men '97 for him to be your favorite character when he's been around for so long. But anyway...
@@JPIbanez84let him be
Love Gambit! Always have personally and glad he went out in a Respectful way at least. What a great friggin episode!
I can’t wait to see X-men vs Avengers live action. I just hope the story is just well written like X-men 97 was
It won't be
@@wdavis911exactly
@@bunkomcdungoLol your welcome to think that
@@wdavis911You do realize marvel will reboot after Secret Wars? Odds are that’s when it will happen
Yea
Here’s a novel idea. How about the first one just starting with the original five X-Men. And the rest can be added later. None of them have been treated fairly in the films so far.
X-men 97 was so good That is going to warp people’s mind into being hyper critical of the live action X-men
having magneto stay young enough is pretty simple. just say part of his mutation is slower aging
I still believe they need to do a tv series that revolves around the original 5 xmen as a charter school. It leads to giant size Xmen (1st movie).
Thats a great idea
@@cosmedix thanks!
Maybe
Exactly what I’ve been saying.
Perfect
I really just want to see the formation of the X-Men with the original 5 students all present. Angel and Iceman weren't in X-Men 97
archangel and iceman would probably be in season two
I say jump to giant size X-Men number 1. No origins outside of conversational references needed.
We saw Archangel briefly when Morph Shape shifted into Him in The First Episode.
Thank you! I’ve been saying that a live action “Night of the Sentinels” would be really good to adapt. Hopefully, Marvel goes in that direction
Would that sell tickets though?
@@BaithNa if the X-Men in the MCU are represented more closer to the 90s X-Men, it could. I would say that’s the most recognizable incarnation of that team
@@BaithNa Anything with the X men would if written well
Just make them live action versions of those sentinels with the gross plastic humanoid faces and smashing their hands through walls. Would also end up making for a great but scary ride at Disney land + Disney world
Why tf would you start with avenger vs X-Men? That's like 50 years into the characters stories...
They started with the Infinity saga.
Blowing their wad early has always been their thing.
@@johntuel2375 sure but avengers vs xmen has a huge backstory. For instance you can't just skip house of M
I love the idea of telling the story from the perspective of questioning whether or not we should trust Charles. Like not quite a magneto level of distrust, but like more of a let’s focus on the fact that you have kids fighting your battles. I love that.
I'm not sure whether I want them to do Krakoa in the MCU or not tbh.
It seems interesting, but it sounds vastly different from the stories I'm excited to see of the X-Men in Xavier's school
They've wanted to do Gambit for a while and the only reason we didn't get him is because they were so focused on Wolverine, if they do this the way you laid it out they absolutely will bring Gambit in, I think
Cool. I'm optimistic about this.
The 97 series was so good, they have to lean into some of the potential story lines set up throughout. Peter parker's brief appearance makes me think there's scope for using Spiderman as a go between between avengers and X-Men.
Thanks now I want to see nightcrawler and Daredevil talk....⛪
That’s pretty cool Marvel is trying to get a screenwriter that has adapted Shakespeare into movies
It seems to be a trend... what with Whedon and Branagh (and a few of the actors) having done both in the past too. And most Marvel stories have a bit of the Shakespeare spirit in them
@@serenity4eva89 kind of interesting as the animated series most of the voice actors were known for theatre, storm's s2 voice onwards did shakespeare
I agree with how the sentinels design should be, people like to “feel” safe with them looking bulky and serious to humans; but a threat to mutants. Nostalgia goes a long way.
I don't know if there's any factual basis like this in the comics, but the most obvious thing to me for keeping Magneto's origin intact and keeping the first XMEN movie in our modern day is simply say that his mutation ALSO caused him to age a lot more slowly. In fact, I'd pretty much buy that being the case for anyone having one of these level of mutations. like there can be a middle ground between "being any given mutant allows you to age more slowly than the average human" and "his specific mutation is unprecedented healing so that he ages so slowly he lives for a couple hundred years (obviously Wolverine)"
I just need deadpool + the punisher idk why
Cause Jon Berenthal is a bad mofo!!!
they gotta do it soon, Jon Berenthal is looking old fast
oh i’m right there w you i need a sequence of them two goin absolutely bezerk
ik why become of Martha
The Krakoan era has not ended yet, so definitely won’t be adapted anytime soon. It’s in the end stages, literally just a few issues left, but the “From the Ashes” era won’t begin until July.
I didn’t start reading X-Men until krakoa, and it’s where I fell in love with the characters. Which made me binge the best X-Men arcs and it gave me a bigger appreciation for this era. So good, but I don’t want an adaptation for another 5-10 years (or longer) because there’s so many great stories that should be done first.
I think ultimately everything is going to be dependent on how they explain the Mutant’s absence from the MCU thus far. Once they figure out a way to do that that feels authentic, they can Segway that into whatever storyline they want to do.
If I were in charge I would be using the X-men animated series as the framework to at least start the movie X-men with Sentinels and the Legacy virus but after that I'm not sure what direction would be good.
I think Sinister would be the best choice because he's fairly well known at this point and hasn't been in live action yet. I think Henry Cavill would make a great choice for the role
Cavill? Nahhhh
No.... That would be not a good casting.
The ideal and otm hopeful for would be Brian Cranston playing Sinister he would be so perfect.
Maybe Mr. Sinister and the humans and their sentinels for the first film, then do Apocalypse and Archangel better. Maybe then do the brotherhood blob,toad,pyro,mystique, sabertooth, juggernaut, avalanche,and Stacy x
Terrible logic, terrible casting.
I want a 1-off Dark Phoenix movie, in the style of Logan that goes no holds barred on the storyline.
I have always wanted to play a young Toad inspired by X-Men Evolution. It's 100% my dream role
Xmen 97 made me appreciate Cyclops a lot more his leadership skills and character development is relatable , even as a kid the love triangle between him , Jean and Logan is insanely entertaining.
With marvel taking everything much slower now, I think we're at least 10 years away from anything that would even be remotely close to setting up X-men vs Avengers
That's what you'd think but it seems they're fast tracking AvX to generate hype before Secret Wars. It may be a horrible idea but it'll come down to execution.
They can partially do it leading into Secret Wars.
I’m happy that X-men is now in the MCU. We’ll wait for this moment to happen.
The Trask, Sinister, Bastion villain team would make a great trilogy for the X-men. Past present and future of mutants, plus X-men 97 was so popular that it should get some type of live action adaptation. The scene where it shows the sentinels attack all the hero’s would be amazing in the MCU.
Personally, I would love to see the Kitty Pryde & Wolverine story brought to film
It's hard to say which arch will come first or which ones they will create for the big screen. What I do know is whatever they pick first will have major implications on the future of mutants so they better pick carefully, quickly and to keep the focus there for a bit in the MCU.
I think the best way to do it in the mutant saga would be to start with house of M and then after that movie ends the Mutants distrust the world and are ready to stay to themselves since the world turned their back on them during house of M. Then tensions build and Avengers vs Xmen happens, and that ends with the X-men all moving to Krakoa and we get that story to end off on. Maybe even do fall of X as the Endgame of the saga
Start with House of M? 😂😂😂
Yeah and the Avengers should have started with Civil War.
Kitty pryde should be the entry character
Only stories im truly interested in is basically getting the origins and original team in the films, as well as the next gen after originals like storm, gambit, rogue, nightcrawler, Colossus,and wolverine . Story wise ide love to see night of the sentinels, and then age of apocalypse with sinister,and archangel. Last that really needs to be done properly is Pheonix story.
Love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤
Eyooooo
*House of M(ephisto) 🤣🤣🤣*
10000 bonus points for endorsing Nightcrawler as a main character. :D
8:48 with this panel you know definitely one of those kids wanted to grab at something ; )
this is amazing literally nailed my two favorite x-men to get more screen time i hope they go that way
I actually really like what you’ve suggested. I think it’s the perfect way to have the X-Men be introduced is having their enemy be humans. I really like the suggestion of Nightcrawler and Gambit being more involved, especially with how great they were in ‘97, with Wolverine taking a backseat in a typical Logan way, which is him doing his own thing!
Yes, Gambit and Nightcrawler as big team dynamic players. Nightcrawler has always been my favorite X-Man and needs to be done right on the big screen
Magneto is gonna be the MCU’s biggest hurdle really. How can he possibly still have the Holocaust backstory if the film will be set in the modern 2025-2027 age? Even if he was blipped, he’d be like in his 90s lol
What are you watching in MCU😂
Either people gotta roll with a 60 year old actor pretending to be from the holocaust or they'll update it and make it a more recent genocide or they just won't mention it directly, like they did in the original X-Men animated series.
@@pinaka5461they can make him African-American, Vietnam veteran, who went home and got discriminated against coming home from the war and his family getting lynched. Instead of Nazi we get the White hooded villains.....
But from the direction they're going so far, they MIGHT soft reset after Secret Wars and all the universes collide into one universe like in the comics. They had Miles, Ultimate Richards Reed being in the 616 universe for a while even after the other universes started to exist.
I can see the Secret Wars reboot changing the date to be in the 90s or something.
@@blowc1612making magneto a vietnam vet would be an absolute disgrace to his character. Instead of being a genocide survivor, he would've been the one doing the killing 💀. I would like to see him as a Malcolm X type figure though, that, or they just make some stuff up about how mutants age slower 🤷🏼♂️
this whole video i was in aggreance but was saying to myself “i just wish there were more nightcrawler and gambit” they’re my two favorite comic book characters of all time. the ending of this video was more than satisfying for me 😂😂
I think the way to introduce X-men is through secret wars, since they're doing battle world that should be easier, but the most recent secret wars with the incursions should be the way to go.
The first film should be like Night of the Sentinels for sure. Choosing the robotic villains means you can spend more time developing the heroes. 2nd film should cover X-Men #1-3 (1991) with Magneto raising Asteroid M as a haven for mutants.
Mr. Sinister is one of my favorite villians & for me, X-Men 97 was the first time I've actually seen him actually fight a little bit. But how everything panned out, I still feel like he gets the short end of the stick when it comes to showing the full extent of power/fighting capabilities. I'm not a Comic reader so don't bother referencing any...I want to see it on screen. Felt the same about The Evolutionary & Kang. Set-up wise, they didn't WOW me with thinking that there's so much more they can do from a physical standpoint.
I feel like we need the Original 5 and Professor X if we're rebooting the X-Men because we've never seen it just be them on the team and I think it would work really good
I really want them to leave Wolverine out for at least a trilogy before introducing him. The other members deserve their moments to shine without him taking the spotlight away.
Would love to see an Avengers vs X-men storyline 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The story that Bendis and other writers had to make both Avengers and X-Men so out of character to justify the big fight?
It'll be just like all the other team vs team movies.. where they fight each other until the end of the film when they team up to fight a common villain.. just so neither team loses
Perhaps wishful thinking but I believe the multi-verse can quite easily shoe-horn a story of the Captain Britain Corps, which then ties back to Krakoa.
Also, I want a proper adaptation in the MCU of my absolute favorite mutant Warren Worthington III. I want to see him go from the Angel to Archangel (blue skin and all) in a mini arc that's not rushed just to get him there like Age of Apocalypse did.
Excellent!
Maybe the basis of the “Living island” can used as the corpse or a Chunk or chunks of the celestial sticking out of the earth.
You could do the “no more mutants” one to somehow explain why they aren’t aren’t there
it would be nice to suddenly introduce xmen, like a surprise encounter with the avengers....but they have to introduce the mutants a couple at a time first. igniting a proper xmen vs avengers civil war, entering the house of M which then sparks the sentinel program leading for the xmen to fled to krakoa. but it might only be a full-blown mutant saga after the secret wars. x-men have a lot of material and great storylines under their belt, maybe more than the avengers have. so many characters to cram into the MCU. goodluck to them.
I would love to see them do the inferno story over the course of 3 movie arch and really get into it
5:22 looks very similar to the trailer scene with the grave stones in the deadpool wolverine trailer. Hmmmm
Yes, Storm, Cyclops, and Xavier need to be the leaders. I like the seminal idea.
I’m getting that shirt!
I definitely think that the xmen should have a trilogy over the next saga, starting with the og 60s team in the first, then do giant size in the second, and have the big 80s characters in the 3rd
I like the ideas
I agree, an Avengers vs. X-MEN movie would be legendary.
Hell yeah!!! That's all I got
waiting!
I wonder what Henry Cavill would look like as Cyclops
We should get the older Logan in a more grandpa role while we get a Laura Wolverine in the MCU
13:30 See the first 4 series of rebooted Dr. Who that leads up to the S4 finale...
idk what I'm looking for but a house of M story would be like introducing the X-Men and taking them back almost like Kevin Feige would be taunting the audience with the X-Men
A Messiah Complex movie, or trilogy/quadrilogy, would be awesome
Maybe Deadly Genesis?
Given the past 50 or so years, I think its fairly safe to say that Magneto doesnt need the Holocaust backstory anymore.
13:46 I agree, I hope they avoid the Dark Phoenix arc in the live action MCU
Unlikely.
tbf the dark phoenix never worked because they just skipped the set up that made it work essentially they did it way too quickly for the pay off. what MCU should learn from the animated series is take the time at having the x-men have time to breath and doing other storylines before it happens
8:45 too fast? It's been going strong the past five years, they are dropping the last issues next week with Rise of the Powers of X #6 and X-Men #35
Nightcrawler was the Gateway character in X-Men Evolution.
I can't wait to see the X-Men join the live action MCU.
I'm curious what the team roster is gonna look like & who they're gonna cast (i.e. are any of the rumours/ fan casts accurate).
Magneto is a mutant. Just give him a secondary mutation that makes him have longevity.
I want Cyclops to have a lot more spotlight this time and be done right.
And lean into the drama.
Someone looks great 😃 👍
I hope they will do the Brood Saga in MCU
You are incorrect. Mutants should be introduced as feared and prosecuted for their uniqueness. That’s the base from which X- men operate. Krakoa, Genosha, Xavier Institute are all the response to this threat from regular humans.
Exodus
I hope the MCU takes inspiration from all the previous X-Men media to give us the best version of each character tbh, i.e.:
* *Cyclops* - 55% X-Men: Evolution + 45% X-Men '97
* *Jean Grey* - 60% X-Men '97 + 40% X-Men: Evolution
* *Wolverine* - 50% X-Men: Evolution + 40% X-Men '97 + 10% Fox films
* *Professor X* - 40% Fox films + 40% X-Men: Evolution + 20% X-Men '97
* *Nightcrawler* - 55% Wolverine & the X-Men + 45% X-Men '97
* *Beast* - 45% X-Men: Evolution + 45% X-Men '97 + 10% Fox films
* *Storm* - 50% X-Men: Evolution + 40% X-Men '97 + 10% Fox Films
* *Rogue* - 80% X-Men '97 + 15% X-Men: Evolution + 5% Wolverine & the X-Men
* *Gambit* - 80% X-Men '97 + 10% X-Men: Evolution + 10% Wolverine & the X-Men
Also,
→ 10:10 They should be lead by Prof X, Cyclops & Storm. (Cyclops should be similar to Chris Evans' Cpt America)
→ 10:18 13:15 Wolverine should part of the team but independent (i.e. not team leader, has his own solo adventures)
→ 13:45 They should make Jean powerful but avoid the Dark Phoenix arc & love triangles.
The description feels like it is more a replacement than rebirth real ship of thesus stuff. ❤
Do you watch xqc?
@@kingdom1682 no
Yes on Gambit!!
The X-Men movies should be the equivalent of the Avengers movies. As in, the individual characters have their own movies/sequels/trilogies and they all team up when there's a genuine threat like Apocalypse, Onslaught, etc.
0:03 Jensen???
Mcavoy is Prof. X
Fassbender is Magneto
Nothing personal, but please no Wolfjackman, Mystiquejen and Stormberry
I could see them doing the recent eternals celestial x men crossover AXE judgment day storyline since they’ve not done anything with that plot thread it heavily involves starfox, the giant celestial becoming the avenger’s base then them activating it again to fight the giant creatures attacking causing everyone to be judged. It also involves apocolips who marvel has intended to be the main big bad for the x men.
How do you think secret wars & other future crossovers with the x-men, the avengers & the f4 all together will work? You know since the og avengers are pretty much all dead or gone & those characters are essential for the stories. I'm curious to see how they will manage that...
The only reason to do Hickman's Secret Wars is to reboot the MCU to be more comic accurate instead Nolan's realistic version.
Phalanx Saga!!!!!
How bout they do a proper dark Phoenix story. And following this set up X-Men 97 set up
What if they use Teamet as krakoa?
I understand. But that just feels redundant on a macro level.
We Had Civil War
We’re heading to Secret Wars
Now we create it for….Avengers v X-men?
Origin Stories->Super Team up-> Super team fights each other.
Also I want to see, Exodus and Fabian Cortez and the rest of the Acolytes
I’d like to see Kitty Pryde as the MCU gateway character with Colossus as a supporting romantic interests. Cyke as the main leader though.
Hamlet actually has Ian mckellen in it, so he’s worked with both magnetos
Gambit needs to be a main character along with rogue, Jean and Scott. Basically make the team roster the same as the 90s cartoon but swap out jubilee for nightcrawler
Why not have both? They should start off with both the blue team and gold team. Fans love taking sides. Team Blue or Team Gold? There are too many X-Men to take time to introduce them all slowly and actors will age out of their roles if they take that approach.
Blue Team -
Main: Cyclops, Jean Gray, Gambit, Rogue, Thunderbird, Wolverine, Morph, and Jubilee
Standby: Beast, Cable
Gold Team -
Main: Storm, Archangel, Iceman, Psylocke, Colossus, Kitty Pryde, and Nightcrawler
Standby: Magik, Forge, Bishop
Great list! I would’ve put Kylo Ren lower tho. I almost lost it when I thought #1 was gonna be society 😂😂
