    isn't michael fassbender a terrible person who broke his partner's face to the point of needing reconstruction?

      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.

    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.

      @chuck_muckle 4 місяці тому +1

      @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.

      ​@@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.

    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.

    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? 😂

    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.
