Yeah so looking into this, this is pretty bad. I had heard vague rumblings but I didn’t know the extent of how bad things got until now and I feel like it’s prudent that I address it here. Far too often we let abusers off the hook for their actions because they’re talented, attractive, or powerful, and I don’t want to be a part of that just for the sake of a cheap joke in one of my videos. I still stand by my assessment of this actor’s performances in these movies being compelling and well-done, and I will leave my praise in the video for the sake of completeness. However, If the allegations against Fassbender are true (which it doesn’t seem like there would be any reason why they wouldn’t be) then he is an abhorrent human being and not one I want to show any kind of support for. It was on me to research stuff like this before making this video, and for that I apologize if it came off as me excusing or dismissing abuse. I should have done my due diligence.
@@TSDTalks22 i appreciate your response, you seem like a cool person and i found you through way of pillar of garbage and your shared pogcast. my comment was more to inform you that someone you might have an affinity for per the video isn't worthy of your adoration and not to castigate you for not knowing something that's been very skillfully buried. we learn is all.
Been watching the films (fo first time also!) and your reviews in tandem and its so crazy how much of your commentary matches what im thinking as i watch! Great video!
I always found it odd that they make Mystique come out naked in front of Charles and we're, what, supposed to not think it's weird she's fully naked? Are we supposed to think Charles is being anti mutant, when it makes much more sense that he's weirded out by his nude stepsister? This is why the obsession with matching the original trilogy sucks because she could've come out in clothing but nope - random nudity
i kind of have to disagree with the phoenix saga being a simple story to adapt. id say its probably one of the most complicated. not only do the xmen have to go to outer space, there is also two entire alien civilizations that need to be explained and you definitely cant rush that part of the story. not to mention professor x's alien girlfriend. not defending x3 here but id say its pretty tough to adapt by any standards.
I read it like last year for the first time and I really don't get why it's so beloved. The best part was when Jean blew up a planet lol it felt pretty short and simple to me 🤷 the movie versions are just terrible adaptations, especially last stand lol
@stephenthedude4383 i mean think what you will about the story but i really dont think its that simple. if you wanted to make it into one movie and have it be accurate, youd have to include the hellfire club, the shiar, lilandra, the mkraan crystal, the kree (maybe), a giant battle on the moon, gladiator, and you have to have at least half of the movie in outer space and half on earth. theres a reason they split it into like 5 different parts in the animated series. its one of the most complicated xmen stories.
So some of the timeline stuff you do have to just say "A Wizard Did It", but Mystique dying in Dark Phoenix before she can appear in the original trilogy can be explained by something the producers of the films made sure to emphasize after Days of Future Past came out: The timeline change in that film makes it so that none of the films made before DoFP ever happened, aside from First Class, since that was a prequel to everything. Mystique doesn't have to survive to be in the original films, since those films never happened, and she didn't show up in the new timeline from the ending of DoFP.
Idk who you're listening to, but Deadpool was always awesome, I don't know what snot nosed nerd living in his mom's basement said it was bad and for edge lords, but they are just opposed to fun. Both Deadpool movies are hits with the mainstream media and comic book fans
@@dasnogood2051 It's a Marvel movie, though... Is Penguin not a DC series just because it's made by HBO? Do you think X-Men '97 is awful just because it's Marvel, while the X-Men movies are great because they were made by Fox? There's no logic in that at all. Deadpool & Wolverine is just as much Marvel as the first two Deadpool movies. Deadpool & Wolverine serves as a whole final goodbye to the Fox era of Marvel.
what elitist forums do you visit? Deadpool is beloved and considered a top notch superhero movie and movie in general. This is the first time im hearing that deadpool has a bad reputation so im guessing its just self important pretentious nerds saying this who just dont like fun
29:14 im sorry but are you smoking meth? lmao I have never in my entire life heard anyone say anything bad about this Rebeccas depiction of mystique? no other comic book movie female character design before or since has managed to combine evil, sexy, and alien so accurately. if youre "uncomfortable" then maybe that's the point lmao. mystique is not the type of character to invite you into her own and bake you cookies. she's literally a mutant assassin. she's not suppose to make you comfortable.
“The exploitative design making you uncomfortable is totally intentional dude, they were trying to be sexist on purpose” is not the own you think it is
As someone who has only seen about two of these X-men movies, and only even caring about one of them (Deadpool) I can definitely agree with TSD’s based takes 🗿
I always figured the Dark Phoenix thing came out of Logan. Like Fox realized that they could make an X-Men movie that (based on title) had nothing to do with X-Men and still set it. Also I got the sense pre-release that they were going to try to make this feel more like a drama, then the production went to hell in a handbasket and the film came out boring.
As a Millenial who was a teenager when X1 and X2 came out I sincerely cannot understand your criticisms of those movies. Sure it is nice that Super Hero movies eventually started to embrace tropes, but those early movies lend a tone of believability that for whatever reason filmmakers have given up on.
Great assessments, thanks for doing. 12:37 In comics Rogue is the crazy teenage daughter of Mystique who dyes her hair white like a skunk because she was created in 1983 and it looked cool. 36:45 YES Is this shot on VHS by any chance?
There's no way the new X Men animation is better than the original one . An I'm not saying this because of nostalgia, I just turned 25 and only just seen the first one last year. .
Cool video, although I am curious to hear why do you think Hugh's Wolverine is sexist in these movies(which apparently they didnt care to change for deadpool 3 lol)?
My favorite timeline shenanigan is the Phoenix Force, it’s Both Genes inherent unleashed ability, and a space god entity thing. It’s not a mix, it’s not one or the other, it’s both. In X 2 it’s space bird, in X3 it’s DID unleashed full potential, in Apocalypse it’s Gene”‘a repressed abilities but also some prophesied deity? And then in dark Phoenix gene has unleashed power and it’s a space bird. It’s all stupid it’s all contradictory. They can’t even decide how to show her powers, is it invisible? Does it make her eyes and veins dark?? Does she burst into flames? Is there a purple glow and wavy hair with skin cracks? 😂

@@PosiWritesStories I think you being ok with someone making up a whole lie just to attract viewers and potentially money says a lot more about you than me. No wonder y’all are manipulated by politicians.
It is fascinating that you seem to genuinely believe I’m making up this story.

Idk if this is an unpopular opinion but I don't like the Quicksilver scene in Days of Future Past. In his scene in the previous movie, he's moving normally and the rest are moving slow, but in the scene in Future Past, everything is slow and he bursts into super-speed inside the slomo, which annoys the hell out of me. Would be better if he was just running at normal speed while everything else was in slomo, just like in the previous one.
X 1 is mid with plenty of plot holes. I hate x 2 nothing happens, the whole movie is centered on figuring out Wolverine’s origin only for us to find out jack shite by the end. X 3 sucks.
isn't michael fassbender a terrible person who broke his partner's face to the point of needing reconstruction?

Mid
Is something no one could call this video
Just discovered this channel. Great stuff. U got a new sub.
I finally finished this video.
Really solid stuff.
Awesome video, hope it blows up!
I do love Hugh Jackman but I won't lie sometimes I do see through the gruff acting and just see a handsome man acting
I loved this video. I could listen to talk about any piece of media. Keep up the good work bud
Question. Are the “oh hey it’s Stan Lee” moments a reference to The Cosmonaut Variety Hour? I love that guy
I didn’t notice that Wanda was like 4 years old in DOFP but in AOU there the same age
deserves more views.
Very good video. Keep it up
Awesome retrospective

“I don’t like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine”….,Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave.
I’m cursed with the weight of objectively based takes
For me, I had a hard time buying Mariko and Logan's relationship, so I just kinda wish Yukio was with them the whole time. She need more screentime.
Great assessments, thanks for doing.
