Question: by ALL X-Men Movies, does that also include "Dark Phoenix"?🤔Most people did NOT like that one, but I Honestly did and I think You (Jen) would too...👌
Since Jen Asked: YES I would Recommend the "Fantastic Four!"👍The '05 Movie is really FUN / Funny too, and its Sequel would finally show Jen who-and-what the 'Silver Surfer' actually is! (LOL)👌
I don't think I've seen all the X-Men. But if you post it Jen, I'll watch it! 😊
@@e.d.2096 I would have watched them all too😉but at least We're getting "Logan!"👍
@@tomhoffman4330 Don't tell anyone, I haven't seen "Logan" shhhhhhh 🤫
I always thought the ending of this movie would've been better if Stryker wasn't Mystique at the end. It would've been a full circle moment and a more meaningful sacrifice that Wolverine made for everyone.
He didn't choose that though, Magneto put him in that situation (so it's not a sacrifice).
I take your point, but I think it would have contradicted the meaningful point revealed by Stryker in X2, that being that Logan essentially volunteered to become Wolverine, choosing to risk his life and identity and memories in order to become a better weapon. They didn't do a lot with that yet, as I recall, but it's a good topic for reflection about where lies the intersection of Logan, Wolverine, and the trauma of both, and what that says about his essential nature and self.
Throwing-in Mystique as Stryker here opens a lot of possibilities, but doesn't preclude just going with the old timeline, either. There's a lot of interesting threads from these films that were left dangling after "Logan" unofficially ended what you might call "Phase 1" of the X-Men universe, and as the X-Men are merged into the larger MCU, there's a lot of possibilities for developing said threads further.
it's also a satisfying storytelling element in the sense of "destiny" and helps continuanity or whatever its called because in all the different possible "futures" things end up the same. Wolverine being "destined" to be who he is, he can't escape it. makes him a better character it's been done for thousands of years from greek myths to star wars. i definitely agree it should have been Stryker.
I don't know about the sacrifice, but it definitely muddles the timelines, and creates the question of how Wolverine gets the adamantium then if Stryker is really Mystique.
@@michaelccozensI don't think it would have contradicted anything. After the timeline was set, presumably this Wolverine in the past wouldn't have any knowledge of Striker, since his future self is no longer in his body.
Plus having the real Striker be the one to 'save' him from the water gives the story a good way to actually have those original plot lines tie well together, this could be how they both met, how he is introduced to the Weapon Program, and why he feels like he can volunteer.
That's assuming we all collectively agree to pretend the first Wolverine movie never happened. Since it's potholes are probably the worst out of all the X-Men movies.
I really think the scene with Charles and Eric arguing on the plane about abandoning each other is the most underrated scene in the series. Both of them just terrific with the emotions. Fassbender acting in that scene, chefs kiss 😘
"These timelines are so confusing!" - Deadpool
McAvoy or Stewart?
I’ve watched countless reactions to this movie and never once has someone said “this feels like the JFK footage!” Bravo! I’m pretty sure that’s the idea! And it goes over so many peoples heads.
Magneto in the comics is the father of Peter and Wanda Maximoff aka Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch. So when he said his mom knew a guy that could move metal it was teasing that.
Was. It was retconned a couple years ago. Magneto's only known surviving child is currently Polaris, although right now she is also dead.
@@mizrolist He was still their father in the comics for 30 years +.
Not a tease, just a reference
@@Khay-77 and then we found out he really wasn't.
The second best X-Men movie ever made. The story was great, the time travelling was awesome, CGI was incredible and that QuickSilver kitchen scene was amazing, especially with time in a bottle playing.
Hey Hey there mister. Hope you are doing better. Love this movie.
Then bring tissues beautiful, That's my only suggestion!
Seconded (or maybe 4th-ed) .
I'll also add that of all the movies I've seen in "3D" , this made the best use of that tech during the Psylocke / Psylok -- during the holes in reality that that mutant created , that helped other mutants escape . Literally the whole scenes seemed to turn sideways a bit, and it was just outstanding ... -- even as it came with an extra layer of darkness ... (3D in the 2000-2010's was always a little darker than the non-3D version of the movie, and the battles against the future Sentinels were always pretty dark scenes in normal non-3D ) .
@@Robotrik1 She is Blink.
Negative, it's the 3rd.
X MEN
X MEN FIRST CLASS
DAYS OF FUTURE PAST
"What happened to Rogue?" It's in The Rogue Cut. Hopefully you watch it on your own one of these days, it's got a lot of extra stuff in it. Fun fact: You can see her reflection in a scene of the 3rd act of this version. It's the one thing they missed when re-editing. 😊
saw the rogue cut
leaving her in makes the plot make no sense
they had rogue and her powers and dna already
why would they need mystique dna
@@flerbus Because they had gotten her more recently. They were trying to create an improved Sentinel
@@shadowvessel ok,,makes sense now
Jen- "Where's Rogue... Kitty's really hurt." This is why I prefer the Rogue Edition to this film. It fills in a few more holes and difficulties quite nicely.
27:51 - "Whatever happened to Rogue?" - Funny you should ask. If you had watched The Rogue Cut, you would have seen her. After Kitty is injured, they go on a rescue mission to save her from where she's being held, and they bring her back to the base. She absorbs Kitty's powers and then takes over for her.
The pretzel plotting is beyond smart & sharp - one of the things I admire about this franchise - it's tone and emotions are interweaved w/finesse and of course fantastic cast and production values. And yeah the kitchen scene is fire.
Awesome movie, the "Look past my pain" scene is so brilliant!
James Mcevoy is such an amazing actor!
I agree with you there. First movie I ever scene him in was Chronicles of Narnia. He was my favorite actor in that film and became a huge fan of his work since that movie.
The mutant with portal abilities is Blink, the Native American Mutant is Warpath, the fire mutant is Sunspot, and the Black mutant with the gun is Bishop.
Warpath was Boo-boo Stewart, Seth from the Twilight movies.
@@Parallax-3D in the comics Warpath can do more than what he does in this movie. He is super strong and other powers but we don’t see that in this movie.
One of the best X MEN films ever made!
It was the first and only movie in the franchise to be nominated for Best Visual Effects.
I AGREE
Love this movie almost as much as I love seeing Jen getting tricked by Mystique...AGAIN!!! 😂
On the music front, I love Time in a bottle also but it's story is sad. He wrote the song for his wife and newborn son. When his son was one years old sadly Jim died in a plane crash. Three days later a letter arrived from Jim to his wife saying he was taking a break or quitting touring on the road altogether so he could send time with his family. Sadly he never got that chance.
Was so happy to see Charles in a hover chair. The hoverchair made it's first appearance in Uncanny X-Men #167 (December, 1982) but for many of us we were introduced to the hoverchair thanks to the X-Men Animated Series. An iconic yellow hoverchair used by Charles 99% of the time with his normal wheelchair only being shown in flashbacks or old pictures. At the end of this film they even feature a yellow version of the hoverchair Charles used during the Dark Future a fun little call back to the comics and Animated Series.
"Is this um.. Silver Surfer?" Soo close Jen..
To be fair Quicksilver's name isn't the most straightforward (while Silver Surfer's is a little too on-the-nose)
@@hellomark1 Quicksilver is another word for mercury, and the metal is named after the Roman god who had wings on his hat and shoes, and that's a very loose thematic connection. I think it's just because he's quick and has silver hair.
Turns out Wolverine isn't the only one that remembers. So does Charles because he contacted his past self. That's why at the end he says "Welcome back."
Charles would know anyway (because he'd remember being his younger self in this timeline). His "Welcome back" is consistent with either scenario but the Charles that made contact with his past self never existed in this timeline so to me the former is more likely.
Slight correction; I think that's the "past" Charles (ie the one played by McAvoy in this film) that says "welcome back" to Logan. Logan's future consciousness was the only one "teleported" to the past by Kitty Pryde, so it's the only one that "returned" to a completely unknown future timeline. McAvoy's Xavier understood that through his conversation with his alternate-future Stewart self, and so has been waiting patiently ever since for the "new" past-Logan consciousness to one day suddenly merge with (be replaced by? Hard to say) the returning "old" future-Logan. So Logan (or half of Logan?) is still the only one with direct memories of the "dark" Sentinel-apocalypse timeline, as the future Charles he meets would only have knowledge of it via his conversation in the past with his alternate-future self.
It would be interesting to see someone explore the idea of two Logans of distinct timelines and experiences attempting to reconcile within one mind. Dude's got enough trouble figuring-out his identity when there's only one of him.
Absolutely love that they kept the Logan continuity throughout ALL the films thus far.
Also, they gave us a fan favorite, Blink, the portal girl in the beginning. In the comics, she had a notoriously short existence. But, she also heralded the story line leading to the big bad in the next film. As, Blink was a major character in an alternate history storyline during the late 90s.
I wish there was more of her and Warpath.
@@floppyblanket2587 there is but not warpath. there is a show called "gifted" where blink is not cool like here but still can make portals
@@Ruwinka I liked Gifted. And Blink _was_ cool there too. Don't diss Jamie Chung :D
I think that they're all great films, 'Logan' is a sad one, Jen.
Right, I'm off to rewatch some more 'Bond' films for you.
I truly appreciate how smart the plot was in this one. Thank you Jen, again another fantastic reaction 😊 More great picks coming up, can't wait!
This film draws heavily from the comic Days of Future Past (1981) a storyline that depicted a dark future that was caused by the assassination of Senator Robert Kelly, Charles Xavier, and Moira MacTaggert in the year 1980. Mutants and their allies were then hunted down similar to what we see in this film. In the comic a much older Kitty Pryde (Played by Elliot Page in this film) was sent from the future of 2013 back into her younger body. This part of the story took place in present day during the 1980s when the storyline was released.
The comic then followed a young Kitty Pryde trying to convince the X-Men that this possible future was real and in the end they were able to stop the assassinations hopefully preventing this dark future. This possible future still exists as it's own alternate timeline known as Earth-811 within the Marvel Multiverse. Marvel did return to this future a few times with the most recent being X-Men: Days of Future Past - Doomsday (2023) a comic series that showcased how everything went wrong post assassinations.
Seeing an older Kitty Pryde in the Future Past comic was pretty cool as this highlighted her character as a hardened veteran, massive contrast to her younger present day self who at the time was a new character to the X-Men comics so fans were pretty undecide on if they liked her or not. The comic also had a larger affect on the greater Marvel Universe as of course the comics all existed together so The Avengers, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man etc. They all suffered from this dark future as well with the Avengers even resigned to protest against the government's laws towards mutants. They were all wiped out in this alternate future. The Roster is also a little different with Storm leading the team and Wolverine, Colossus, Angel, Nightcrawler, and Kitty Pryde backing her up. The comic does spend far more time in this alternate future which is something I wish the film did but nonetheless still a great film.
This future is also the home of Bishop, Omar Sy who we see in this film. In the X-Men Animated Series version of Days of Future Past, Bishop was actually sent back in time to warn the X-Men rather than kitty jumping into her past self. The animated Series does a really good job with his character and was my introduction to him, X-Men 90s Days of Future Past is even credited as being superior to the comic itself or equal in quality depending on who you ask.
*Timeline confusion:*
preventing the assassination of Trask in this film in short creates a new timeline that branches off in 1973 from the original X-Men we've been following since X-Men (2000). This is the timeline Logan wakes up in at the end of the film, similar Back to the Future but with more extreme changes. The history Logan knows is differant to what happened in this new timeline. From Jean and Scott being alive to who knows what other changes including world history and how Mutants are viewed. They'll just be assets that simply don't line up to the history we know from the original films but we can assume events happened in a similar way.
Fox pretty much rebooted the X-Men moving forward allowing them to do whatever they want with future films without worrying about the canon of what came before. Deadpool (2016) is the first film in this new timeline and has you've watched Deadpool already you'd no doubt recall being confused on his appearance in X-Men Origins and how it made no sense in relation to Deadpool. We simply put X-Men Origins never happened in this new timeline but similar events did like Logan does have an origin story being Weapon X etc. It's just Wade never became Deadpool during those days but I think both characters could've worked together just like I said Wade was never Deadpool until decades later.
So Just remember that you're in a whole new timeline now moving forward. First Class being the start of both timelines and then after 1973 they branch off into two separate timelines. But for the most part the events are similar enough there's just some major changes.
ellen paige, she didn't magicaly change to a dude until after this movie
Hey Hey there Jen Murray. This is one of my absolute favorite ones. Love the character Mystique, but really love Rebecca Romin playing her. Love your reaction ❤ as always. Have a good evening. 😉
This movie marks the first time that an actor with dwarfism was cast in a role that wasn’t specifically for a little person. Peter Dinklage’s role was meant to be cast as…well…whoever. But he won the role despite the fact that he is decidedly shorter than the character he’s portraying. His character isn’t a little person in the comics; he got the role because he had the best audition.
First Class, DoFP, and Logan are some of the best super hero movies ever made. Marvel could take some notes from the XMen series
There is an extended cut called the “Rouge Cut”, which includes the character Rouge back in and some other cool deleted scenes
It's actually called Rogue Cut. But there might be some rouge in there as well. 😉
@@julioarriero4652Yeah. I own it and could've sworn it was called "The Rogue Cut".
@@julioarriero4652It kills me to see that word misspelled. 😅
26:31 Mark! Girls named "Raven" by their parents typically have black hair, yet she's blonde. There are a few names based on hair color. Ginger, Rusty, Blondie, Buffy, Pink, and Raven, for example.
So my guess is that as "Mystique" she chooses to be blonde when not her nude blue self. Yet when thst way, she seems to have black hair with red highlights. Ergo, she may be controlling her hairstyle and color, even when in nude blue mode. 🤔
When her faux claws were cut off, that was actually part of her. Just has the clothes are! How do the faux pockets function? Is the purse actually a purse?
In the comics, she wears a white dress!
Probably my favourite X-Men Movie, a truly great concept, executed perfectly. The fact that it has pretty much everyone doesn't hurt either.
Happy Monday to Jen & her Serious Girl Spectacles, and to all Y'all out there. 👍☮❤
In the Days of Future Past comic it was Kitty whose consciousnesses was sent back in time by Rachel Summers, daughter of Jean and Scott. The movie changed it because Wolverine has been the main character for most of the X-men movies. I do wish they showed a scene in the future of all the X-men that have already died, their graves and the AI controlling the Sentinels, Master Mold.
The gravestones in the original comic book were devastating.
The iconic cover of Wolverine in front of the wanted posters showing Slain or Captured!!! 🤲🏻😢
Good Afternoon, Jen💝and Thank You for sharing this one with Us too: "Days of Future Past" is definitely one of the Best Movies Ever!👍Bryan Singer (who'd Directed the 1st & 2nd Movies) made His Triumphant Return to the X-Men, giving Us everything We could have ever asked for all-in-one! Best of All, History is Unwritten to give those Original X-Men a much Happier Ending...👏🥰
Can I just say. I love Jen Murray. She helps me fall asleep all the time. Thank you for making my life manageable. You have no idea how therapeutic watching your videos is.
Secondly you should really do Fallout I think you’d love it.
Glad to hear my videos are helpful ☺️ Fallout is on my list 👍
8:44 Mark! Jen! If you have easy access to a comic store near you, you may be able to yet find copies of the crossovers with "The X-Men" and "Star Trek" and "Star Trek: The Next Generation"! Kirk asks Spick the question, "Did he just punch our ship?" Picard and Xavier meet face to face! Both McCoys meet! Spock and Beast play 3-D Chess! 🎉
26:57 Mark! Kirk! 🖖 Does he get a credit? In "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" the boys were in a motel room to hide out. They were viewing the "Arena" episode of "Star Trek"! It served as foreshadowing for the boys going to the same rocks as a way to let the audience know that they were aware that some of us would recognize Vasquez Point!
Anyway, that movie was the first time that actor William Shatner received credit as "James Tiberius Kirk"! 😃
A great colab between both casts and a proper sendoff for the first crew. Love it from start to finish. Btw, Rogue was more present in a directors cut version of the movie and would replace Kitty after she got badly wounded by Logan.
23:45 Mark! Jen, it's funny that you should say that! Ahem.
Quote -
Yes, most dwarfism-related conditions are caused by genetic mutations. These mutations can occur in either the mother's egg or the father's sperm during conception. In some cases, the mutation is spontaneous, or "de novo", and occurs in the developing embryo. In other cases, the mutation is inherited from an affected parent. For example, in achondroplasia, the most common type of dwarfism, about 80% of cases are caused by a spontaneous mutation, while the remaining 20% are inherited.
I remember reading this in graphic novel form back in the late 80's. I'm lucky enough to have this film score on Vinyl!
Logan got his adamantium in 1981
I still remember watching this movie for the first time, watching Charles tie his arm and get out a needle and being like “Whoa! Whoa! WTF?!” And then sighing in relief when Hank says it’s a serum to treat his spine
Peter’s alter ego is Quicksilver. And alternate version of him is in the MCU.
According to the screenwriter, Jfk’s power may have been a telepathic form of persuasiveness
Wolverine didn’t remember because with his future self losing hold on the past, his past self came back, who wasn’t aware of everything going on.
Trask is definitely not a mutant
Funny you ask what happened to Rogue, there’s an alternate extended version called the Rogue Cut where she’s included in the dark future
Magneto was injured by a piece of a sentinel, which aren’t metallic in this. That’s why it got through when he protected himself from the debris
Those with healing factors, like Wolverine, could actually die from drowning, as long as they aren’t recovered before dying
Logan’s time in the wars, First Class, and then the 70s events of this movie would have happened. Then it diverges into Apocalypse and maybe Dark Phoenix for reasons.
38:54 Mark! 31K Views + Mine! 😎 2.6K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! 😊
Notes: I didn't hear you mention the third movie in which Xavier ends up nearly dead! 🤔
This movie changed that history too! Logan will remember it, though.
But anyway, hehe! What Charles is doing for Logan now is what Guinan did for Jean-Luc! 😅 She had to wait for him to catch up with her! 😂
2:36 Mark! Jen, hi! The short hair! I hate all of the negative wig comments as I never thought, "Is she wearing a wig?" 😁 I prefer the longer hairstyle! ❤
Jenny figuring things out after the last scene is always my favourite thing about her reactions as the penny drops her expressions are priceless always enjoyable ❤
I'm glad I got to see your reaction to "Days Of Future Past". I enjoyed seeing the bond between Charles and Logan. One of the powerful moments was Charles reading Logan's mind, James McAvoy really delivered in that moment. Another powerful moment is Ian's Magneto telling Charles "All those years wasted fighting each other Charles. To have a precious few of them back"
Definitely one of my favorite X-man films ! 👏 I love you Jen 💘 Another Amazing Movie Reactions. 💯😎😉🙌
One of the best movies of X - MEN, absolutely amazing.
Alright, time for more X-JEN
This is personally my favorite X-Men movie. I was always happy they decided to revisit this storyline from the comics.
While it screws with elements with _this particular scenario,_ I never liked the retcon they did to *Wolverine's* claws.
For years after *Wolverine* was introduced, his claws were not a part of his skeletal structure. He simply had a heightened healing ability, as well as heightened sandia and that's it. It was this healing ability which allowed him to survive the adamantium melding process. While they were at it, they added the claws that made him such a scary beasty!
When he had adamantium introduced to his body the claws where a separate addidtion. Pure adamantium. A completely separate function.
Then, sometime in the 90's they give him claws under the edamantium (as if they've always been there… which they haven't.😊
*EDIT:* it's my understanding an item need not be made of ferrous metal for Magneto to be able to manipulate it. For instance you should be able to lift a man off the ground because of the Earth's magnetic field all around us. 🤷🏼♂️ I could be wrong of course.
7:01 Mark! That guy! Here, he's playing as his real size! But with his other "Marvel" character, he's still... Well, this character is a HUMAN (damn software) with "Dwarfism", while the other one is a "Dwarf" bigger than Thor! 😂😅
JEN,apologies if I have suggested this before, but 1983 fantasy/sci fi movie KRULL is fantastic as well as the soundtrack.
My favorite Xmen movie!! 😍
Hey Jen, MYSTIQUE GOT YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!!! ------- Jen would you be as nefarious add Mystique if you had her powers. I wonder.
Lol she gets me every time 😂
"It's very lucky there's no Mystique in my life..."
Can you be certain of that, Jen? 😉
07:57
the funniest part was what
WOLVERINE
said about
BEAST
" I guess you were a late bloomer "
The guy with the white hair is name is Quicksilver he is the twin brother of Wanda Maaximoff and in this universe they are actually the daughter and son of Magneto
the guy who can move so fast that time slows down for him is like a human version of sonic the hedgehog xD
Hi Jen, in answer to your question there are two versions of this movie there is the one you are watching now and then there is the "Rogue Cut" version in which you will find the answer to where`s Rogue , i would suggest you watch the other version to see a different twist to this tale , theres no need to review it as you have done this one , but for your own pleasure i would watch the Rogue cut when you can ..
ps
If Wolverines body is destroyed in the future then his younger self will take over again ,waking up very angry because he wont know where he is or what the hell is going on ...
This was a fun Hollywood adaptation, I just lament their constantly trying to push Mystique to the forefront. The first few X-Men films had her role more accurate. Mystique cannot replicate a mutants' abilities just physical their appurtenance. In the book it's Shadow Cat that makes the trip, not Wolverine. Kitty doesn't actually have any psychic abilities. Always hated the bone claws retcon, even in the later comics.
*Jen*: You may recall Quicksilver from the 2nd Avengers film (different actor). While both he and Wanda have always been mutant children of Magneto (along with Polaris) Fox had exclusive film rights to the Mutants at the time, so an alternate origin was created to add them to the Disney Avenger's team (where they belonged after they quit the Brother Hood of Evil mutants after the first issue and became good guy & gal).
If i could save time in bottle indeed ! ⌛ i have to catch up on the rest of the X men series i'm still a bit baffled over the timelines here
no worries i'll suss it out .
Always a pleasure to be here with JEN and a great chat community
sending good vibes ! 🤙
Something I learned from reading the comics back in the 90s was that it's not necessarily a great thing to be able to regenerate so quickly. The writers can use these regenerating characters as guinea pigs for extreme amounts of torture, and they DO, and it can even get to the point of the reader/viewer thinking "Wow, okay, maybe I don't want regeneration as a superpower in these stories. It could be used to just torture me eternally...." Those characters are also the ones the writers use to show as the victim of some awful secret/super weapon, as they can demonstrate the destruction without actually killing a character, so the regenerating character starts to become the punching bag b/c he/she is the only one who can take it.
Remember always liking this movie but I forgot just how good it is. Read the sentinel era xmen comics as a kid and thinking it was so dark and depressing but I also loved it for that reason.
Oh how I wish they had Nimrod, Bastion and Master Mold in this movie.
Without a doubt, one of the best X-Men movies. I only wish they used Bishop more.
Quicksilver, the X-Men version. The MCU also had a Quicksilver, Wanda's brother Pietro. They're the same-ish, just legal stuff serparating them prior to Disney buying the movie-side of Fox.
the scene with young & old Charles is phenomenal
"Silver Surfer" 🤣
26:58 I think it's kinda cool that Patrick Stewart plays a character in a universe that the Star Trek franchise exists.
This is really well done film considering how many characters are in this, enjoy Jenny.
17:27 One man
Once died
But did you know that he could read all our minds
He was the US Adam with Jack the Wife
He was a super-charismatic telepathical knight
7:52 No he didn't say it was before he had a handle on his powers...what he ACTUALLY said was "I didn't have my powers in 1973."
The metal bending guy his mother listened to is Uri Geller.
27:50 Rogue is in the future. She was supposed to take over for Kitty in keeping Wolverine in the past for a while so she could rest, but in the end they cut her scenes from the movie and left as deleted scenes.
26:13 This is exactly where the "Rogue Cut" of the movie plays a very special part, and I recommend watching it at some point. With Rogue in the movie, it made it slightly too long for what the production wanted, so they cut her part out, but to many, it played out a lot better than the theatrical cut.
2014, big superhero movie year.
But after introducing Guardians of The Galaxy and awaiting the return of the Avengers in the MCU, Marvel/Fox's Children of The Atom were just getting warmed up.
Based on a classic storyline from 1981 that pre-dates The Terminator (believe it or not).
The end-credits of The Wolverine (2013) showing the name "Trask" drove people (us fans) nuts because most of us knew who he was, what he would make and where the fate of the universe was going.
Bryan Singer (pre-controversy, y'all know why) to direct this 5th movie of the series aka "X4" was unprecedented.
Blending the castmembers of old and new became such a blast.
Introducing newer characters in both eras to greatly effect history was perfect.
As always, the constant tones of the film series endure.
Good and evil, prejudice and tolerance, grief and faith, similarity and difference.
The hallmarks of the comics, 50 years old at the time, being interpreted as they suppose to be.
There is an alternate version known as The Rogue cut (2015) which is the complete version of the film that clearly makes it the biggest X-Men film ever.
It broke several Box office records and became the highest-grossing X-Men film for 2 years, dethroning X3:The Last Stand.
From here, the evolution goes into overdrive.
You are going to love the next 3 films.
Always love the lil Future peak at end credit scene
In the comics Peter (Quicksilver) and his sister Wanda (Scarlet Witch) are the children of Magneto
I don't know how many times I've watched this in full, or by watching a reactor.... but I just realized Havok has control of his powers here, without the suit.
Great Reaction Jen ✌️😸👍
Jen: Where's Rogue?
Me: In the cutting room floor.
Her scenes were cut partly to keep the movie tight and not too long. There is a Rogue-cut/ extended version which is pretty good.
Jen says that she likes time travel stories, then proceeds to tie herself in knots trying to make sense of the plot. 😆
While I liked this as an 'almost' stand alone movie - once I saw the Rogue Cut my appreciation of it grew.
The first time we see the sentinels in the movies is actually X-men the last stand. At the beginning where Logan is substituting a mourning Scott. They're doing training in the danger room, Colossus throws Logan and we see a decapitated sentinel head land on the ground.
Evan Peters is a beast! I LOVE the kitchen scene. I watched it over and over when the DVD came out.
I think the X-Men characters and X-Men movies are SO FUCKING COOL! They have so much variety! So much EPICNESS!!!!!!!
I'm totally fine with them giving the series a chance at a MEGA HAPPY ENDING by rewriting time. I love all the cameos in this. This is everyone's chance to sign off. Actors never know when they'll get another movie.
Everyone saying this was one of the best X-Men movies, but I barely remember watching it.
Happy for this one. Thanks! They pulled off some sketchy ideas here. And it worked. Time travel. Narrative hopping about. Timeline/narrative changes that aren't squishy. That balls-out Quicksilver scene. It really works.
No blue Mystique cosplay, Jen? Kidding! See ya in the chat!
🤣🤣🤣👍
"Whatever happened to Rogue?"
Yes.
All the _X_ - _MEN_ movies are great
I like the deleted scene better where Rogue takes Kitty’s powers and stabilises Wolverine
If you watched the Rogue Cut version you would have found out about where she is. She's trapped in the mansion. Eric and Bobby save her and she takes over for Kitty to hold on to Logan.
30:21 There is a bunker system under the Whitehouse, but the details of it (like the entrance, it's size. if it has tunnels leading to other capital buildings or bunkers, etc), is all classified.
This was my favorite. Aside having pretty much everyone it was the story I grew up with. Having the humans capable and foot down on the mutants with the mutants divided and needing to at the same time paint human perception of them. That is a great theme. Also that it is such a large world, using time mostly but all the same another great aspect of the X-Men was always that greater world/factions component of it.
"What happened to Rogue?"
There is literally an entire separate cut of this movie that explains that.
36:01-36:05 it’s good to have cyclops and jean grey back alive.
Asking about Rogue? There is a "Rogue cut" where they bring her in to take over for Kitty Pride after she gets injured.
Great reaction Jen! Keep up with the superhero stuff! Would love to see some gaming or just chat livestreams. Wish you all the success!
Nice Surprise Jen. It been a long time since I seen this,....so It was great to watch it again. Thank You.
Peter is quicksilver, different actor from the avenger age of ultron
The best that the FOX X-Men ever got. Logan is another high bar, but this is superb.
The Wolverine by James Mangold (Logan) is worth watching as well. Covers one of Logan's most important stories and is only ruined by the studio interference in the finale.
To get the studio off their back both Mangold and Jackman took significant pay cuts to make Logan.
6:45 -- RE: Peter Dinklage; Mr. Dinklage of course had achieved worldwide renown as an actor because of his work with Game of Thrones, but hey Jen, have you ever seen "The Station Agent" (2003), the directorial debut for Tom McCarthy and starring Peter Dinklage?
I remember watching this movie in theaters and I was like holy shit this movie is dark and I was not prepared to see each member of the X-men die.
