“Is Jean really dead…again?” You just summed up every X-Men comic for the last 30 years
Funny enough she was dead in the comics when this movie came out (Civil War started the month this movie released). Something they'd never let happen now.
Jean is Loki
At the Pearly Gates, Jean Grey and Loki have their own express lane.
🤣
That, and her recurring orgasmic faints.
one of my favorite moments in comics is when Beast brings the X-men from the past to the present day point in comics and Jean asks "how did I die" and Beasts says "which time" and she doesn't know how to respond to that.... to know you die in the future is sad but everyone dies you know it can happen... to find out you die multiple times? that is something different altogether
I laugh when Beast tells Wolverine "Boy, I've been fighting for mutant rights before you had claws."
In truth, Wolverine was the oldest mutant in that room.
@jason42080 obviously you didn't see my post about x2 how mystique is Nightcrawlers mother and Rogue and nightcrawler are half brother snd sister.
While yes, Wolverine was the oldest in the room...
Beast could have been referring to when Wolverine went through the Adamantium grafting process.
And I agree that you should start any comment like this with Spoilers below and then put the actual spoiler as a reply.
That's just common courtesy.
@@evanbriggs443 How would hank know at that point (they just met) that he even had the metal grafted on? He was talking age and he assumed Logan was younger than he is.
@@evanbriggs443which wouldn’t make any sense, since he still had claws prior to that lol
"I feel like he's kinda like the Beast from Beauty and the Beast."
Cass, you literally couldn't have been more correct if you tried. 🤣
maybe don't talk to a random UA-camr like you're her friend or something "Cass"...fucking cringe af.
There was a limited series run of that very title featuring him and Dazzler. Look it up. 🙂
Calling Angel "Eagle Boy" is somehow the funniest part of this video.
BRO i was like BRO
🤣🤣🤣
I love the names that people give to mutants who don't intamately know the lore. Wolverine put it best in the first film when he called Professor X, "Wheels." lol
Not. Funny. At. All.
It's a weird thing in most modern superhero movies that they hardly ever mention the super-names of many of the characters. They do it with a number of the mutants in these X-Men movies, and they do it with a lot of the characters in the MCU as well.
"Did everything in that movie just get reset?" is the most insightful observation about the future of the franchise. lol
Jean Grey and the "Phoenix Saga" is one of the biggest stories in the X-Men comics. It was also done really well in the 1990s animated series.
Too bad this version sucked because the writers & director decided to make up their own version.
Yes and they did opening scene of her very well. The scenes in her old home were cool. Regardless of how this story was told, because it's Jean Grey story it's still cool asf and in hindsight is one of the best one we've had so far in movies. Hopefully they do it even better the next time!
It was ONLY done well in the 1990s animated series. Both live action attempts failed miserably, because they tried to compress it too much (Dark Phoenix) or basically turned it into the side plot of another story (Last Stand).
@@russelturner5771 No. It is because the studio rushed the production/filming and decided to end the series to focus on prequels.
@@Ambaryerno Dark Phoenix was designed to be a Phoenix origin story. It was meant to be the first film of a Dark Phoenix Saga/Inferno trilogy. The movie even ended with Jean teasing that her story will continue. So they didn't really compress it.
Carly: (points at Wolverine at 32:49) "Can he be cured? B/c he was kind of made."
Cassie: "That's true. Maybe his healing ability would go away, but not his metal."
Good question from Carly, and good answer from Cassie made my inner nerd proud.
Yeah ! It was giving "The Big Bang Theory" vibes ! ^^
Problem is he actually can't be cured. His strength and healing skills would go away.
But then the metal in his body would immediately crush him.
The only way would be to remove it first in a surgery and then give him the cure.
Colossus throwing Wolverine was called a fastball special in the comics.
*Would be truer to the comic if they had cast an actor closer to Logan's height (5'3").*
There is not one scene in X-Men the last stand that is not from the comics
Then they started to do a few variations but always was "mutant A flings mutant B to the sentinels head to instantly take it out"
Telekinetics doing the throwing, throwing Shadowcat instead
Yeah used that a lot on X-Men legends back in the day,most people didn't even know you could do that move bc they were the only characters that could do a move like that.
@@ericseitzler81 *Because Wolvie was 5'3 and Colossus was 7'7 in the comic book.*
It had Kelsey Grammer as Beast as another example of spot-on casting, just like the first film had for Prof. X, Wolverine, and Magneto. I'll give it that.
He was cast when Matthew Vaughn was attached
Kelsey Grammar and Patrick Stewart yes, dead ringers for the role. I didn't think Hugh Jackman fit the role before the first movie came out but now it's hard to imagine anyone else playing Wolverine. I still don't think Ian McKellen was the best choice for Magneto but he did a good job.
*Hugh Jackman is too tall for Wolverine.* Maybe they'll cast better for the MCU.
I never imagined Magneto as gay grandpa
@@kobayashimaru8114 Okay, I'm curious who is your fantasy pick for Magneto?
I think Captain Picard and Gandalf would get along swimmingly.
...wait. 🤣🤣
The fact that they are covering their eyes when no blood is shown is hilarious lol. Logan will be a treat.
I was thinking the same thing! I’m not sure if “Logan” is one they should watch. But it’s sooo GOOD!!
@@Instantphojo they getting a good bag to watch these before the next Deadpool movie so it’ll happen. Just gonna be like watching a horror movie reaction with these two lol
I was thinking the same. It's PG-13, what is there to cringe over lol? If they ever get to Deadpool, it'll be a funny video.
Oh God, I didn't even think of that. No amount of preparation will have these girls ready for what scarring Logan will be serving up.
There is a surprising amount of blood in The Wolverine too.
Now that you seen this movie I can say at the end of the 2nd movie, there was a silhouette at the bottom of the lake in the shape of The Phoenix.
Even though her being a big fire bird isn't a thing in this one.
@@Avocado11 Yeah, that was disappointing. When "Dark Phoenix" came out, I was like "Please, guys, I just want my cosmic fire bird! Is that so much to ask?" Well, the movie was mostly underwhelming, but at least I got what I wanted at the very end.
“I’ve been fighting for mutant rights since before you had claws.”
“Homie, I remember the Civil War. Try again.”
Those of us who have seen all of these movies also have a lot of questions 😂
I hope someone makes clear to these girls that Logan is a separate universe, cause not even the writers would tell us.
@@thatperformer3879even the prequels are their own universe for me because age and looks of the characters make 0 sense
It's so funny how Hank thinks he's been around much longer than Logan, while Logan had been fighting in the Independence War already :D
"It was like 20 years ago but he looks exactly the same" HA! That's just Patrick Stewart, BABY!
Interesting Fact: The character Juggernaut isn't actually a mutant in the comics. He was Charles Xavier's stepbrother who had attained his abilities from a powerful magical artifact called The Gem of Cyttorak.
Also, the best part of the movie is definitely the Quote. "Charles Xavier did more for mutants than you will ever know. My single greatest regret is that he had to die for our dream to live."
That was HARSH too, Eric's statement. And he saw it and felt it as a final statement. Like Charles had done *ALL* that could be done, and since THAT didn't change it, nothing would, so this is right.
...which, was....what Charles had been trying to explain to him was not the case, but since the vast majority of Eric's most tragic experiences were always ultimatums, he couldn't process profound experiences ever being something OTHER than an ultimatum.
(And also you're a huge nerd and I love you, I as fellow nerd chose to join "the momentum" with the Juggernaut thing but as a 90s girl I was a bit unhappy with the contradiction but just "rolled with it")
Also bobby is gay
I was watching this movie today with my brother and we were talking about this. I thought he was a mutant and my brother just thought he was really strong. Thanks for the clarification!
@@lifelikelisa *puts on her glasses, chokes, puts on her lore glasses, again chokes, puts on her choker necklace that has glass in it, swallows*
Heh sorry I'm drunk, been in the hospital two days for kidney issues unfortunately not related to being drunk. But from being human.
But while being drunk while being human I'd like to inform you Juggernaut isn't a person but a being (WHAT?) well more a title. In X3 he's a mutant/person but in Deadpool 2 he's back somewhat to the----
Honestly if you're into this stuff even on a slight tangent, it's fun. A thing I do despise is a lazy attempt at a movie canon. If Bond can at least pretend, then COMIC BOOK MOVIES need to give the middle finger to all those who forgot how to sit on it.
*waves her hand* Here's where we are. I'll honestly be pleased and impressed if Deadpolverine the Reckoning actually comes out.
Yeah, he wasn't a mutant, but still hung out with The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Magneto either didn't know or didn't really care. What I want to know is why the movies never had them hanging out with dinosaurs in the savage lands.
Her reaction to the “bone darts” 😂
I laughed really hard at that
The reason this movie gets hated on is because "Dark Phoenix Saga" was a pivotal story arc in the entire run of the Xmen comics, and this movie was a pale illusion of an adaption of that story.
But the franchise make up for it with "Days of Futures Past", another pivotal story for the comics and one of the best Xmen movies overall, and it is the one that JLaw stars in.
Yeah, they really messed up the Phoenix Saga. Jean is supposed to get these vast abilities from an external source. It's not supposed to be a dormant power she always had. She literally destroyed entire worlds, and was put on trial by alien civilisations for her crimes. Limiting the story to Earth completely destroyed the magnitude and scope of the storyline.
The reason it gets hated on is because it's a bad movie (the script is disjointed, key characters die with very little narrative motivation, it's missing the humour of the first two and the action is generally pretty lacklustre - all IMO of course). Very few that saw it could care less about the treatment of the "Dark Phoenix Saga" from the comics (that's not a diss on comics BTW - love 'em, wonderful art form - but they have nothing to do with how mainstream audiences view movies).
(conversely, 'Days of Future Past' is a _good_ movie, with a coherent script and basically every beloved character from the franchise - again, very few that saw it could care less how well it adapted Claremont's arc. Also, Jennifer Lawrence is in 'First Class' too and yet you're the second person i've seen in the comments state she's in DoFP as if it's her first outing)
reseeing it years later here. it feels like the biggest problem is that its tacked on. its pretty clear that David Hayter probably intended for the next movie to be purely about phoenix but whoever took over just didnt have the knowledge and focus so you it feels like a subplot
One day we'll get first the phoenix saga then dark Phoenix
@@anonymes2884 If so few care to see the source material actually being used, then why have there been so many horrible failures in both TV and movies? I think you are underestimating how many true fans of the source material there are and how it does in fact end up affecting the business. When you change a beloved storyline or character, (which is the reason comics for example would sell so well) in order to adhere to an agenda, why would you expect your audience to consume it lovingly? You're basically just pissing off your fanbase. Sales go down. We've seen plenty of this in the last decade in both comic sales, TV, and movies. It also continues to get worse.
It's pretty funny how you said "That was 20 years ago and they look exactly the same", because, when this movie came out, there was a lot of discourse about the CG used to make them look younger in that opening scene. Not only was it shocking and mind-blowing for most of us to see Patrick and Ian digitally de-aged, but that technology was so groundbreaking at the time that many articles and videos were written about its use and the potential to digitally change the appearance of actors on screen in the future (much of which we have definitely seen at this point).
Forget changing, they can just digitally create the actors now.
Avatar was the next big step in that. Beowulf was semi-groundbreaking as well.
To be fair, Patrick Stewart hadn't really changed all that much from 20 years ago. He's one of those men that rushed into a certain age and stayed that way for much of his adult life :)
That said, it's really sad to see that THIS iteration of de-aging technology is far less jarring than more modern stuff, like Tron 2 and Fallout. I think it's the jowls and the "wattle", the skin connecting the jaw and neck: they get far looser and, well, droopier in older folks and the computer can't map the younger image to it
@@SilentSooYun Yeah he seemed middle aged for like 50 years. lol
I came here for this
"Can't you just get a boat?!" Asking the real questions.
Cue MegaMind: "Oh, you're villain alright. Just not a super one."
"What's the difference?!"
"PRESENTATION!"
❤
When she said that, all I pictured was a tiny boat with Magneto standing at the bow in a confident, triumphant pose, which cracked me up.
That last set piece with Jean causing chaos was pretty spectacular. And Wolverine having to end her. A lot of very memorable scenes and effects. It's just that the movie feels disjointed somehow. Probably because of the switch up with directors.
SPOILERS!!! Always warn so you don't ruin the movies for others!
If you don't want spoilers, don't watch a movie reaction or read the attached comments section. People who have seen it (which includes the reactors) are naturally going to discuss it. This movie is also over 20 years old, so you have had ample opportunity to see it before clicking on this vid.
Yeah, I thought the same thing watching this. That there are some pretty cool parts of this film but I remember deeply disliking it (an opinion I still stand by). It's less than the sum of it's parts.
I believe this was the same year Van Helsing was released and Jackman’s characters had to kill people he loved.
@@agoodday9247 They had to cram a lot into one movie. Nowadays it would definitely have been a two parter. And with streaming maybe a whole season of content.
He moved the chess piece. The cure wasn't permanent. Jennifer Lawrence is in X Men Days Of Future Past which is a good one
I absolutely love how every time Wolverine sees Magneto, he's all like "raaar!" and the other xmen are like "Wolverine, what about your metal bones?", but he's all like "raaar!" and goes after him anyway. Magneto just thinks about it and then Wolverine is like "AAAAAAH, MY BONES!"
😂😂 Truth.
Lol. The raaaar! is kind of a significant part of his character though.
Dude I laughed so hard at this haha
Haha I love how ya’ll call Mystique “Blue Girl”. Iconic.
I agree with your original assessment. Leechs' mutant "curing" ability is proximity based, and Rogues is contact base. So there is no way she would be able to "take" his power since hers would be "gone" before she could get close enough to touch him 👍
Does it still work if he's unconscious?
Not true, Leech's power can be turned on and off just like most mutant abilities. We see this in the animated series where Magneto can still use his powers when Leech is right next to him.
Originally, in the comics, both their powers were passively on full time. When they first met, which I wanna say was during the Inferno event, iirc they somehow canceled each other out, and both their powers got switched off temporarily.
@Rocket1377 I was referencing the movie since that is all they have seen and know.
@@hulkslayer626 So many people seem to have a hard time separating the comic from the films. They seem not to understand that the comic are completely irrelevant to the films, which are an entirely new artwork that must be considered independently on its own merits.
Kelsey Grammar as Beast
PERFECT CASTING!
Kelsey Grammar is a beast of an actor.
I know this is Marvel not DC. However, if they were to do another batman movie with Mr. Freeze, Kelsey Grammar would make a perfect Mr. Freeze. In my opinion.
@@brandonreed6596

"They can cure us?" asked the young lady that drains the life out of anyone she touches.
"There's nothing to cure," said the woman who controls the weather and was actually worshipped as a goddess.
Just a heads up for you two. Continuity goes out the window in the X-Men films from here on out, so don’t worry if things don’t make sense as far as the timeline of events.
In the comics Colossus would often throw Wolverine at attackers in a team playing technique they both dubbed as "The Fastball Special." It was great to see this being given a nod in the Danger Room sequence.
The next movie is "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" which has two post credit scenes.
Actually three, with different versions of the film getting different post credit scenes.
also the worst X-men related movies next to Dark Pheonix in 2019. You can thank the internet for leaking the work print for that.
What order are they watching the movies in?
@@markward573 released order
@@Hikuro2pnt0 A leaked turd is still a turd. 🤣 Being leaked didn't change the bad plot or terrible choices made about how to bring the new characters to the screen.
Next is X-Men Origins: Wolverine, followed by X-Men: First Class, then The Wolverine, followed by X-Men: Days of Future Past, then X-Men: Apocalypse, followed by Logan, & finally X-Men: Dark Phoenix
Thanks. Was wondering.
You Missed X-Men: Apocalypse there after DoFP
X-Men Apocalypse, The New Mutants, and the first two Deadpools are a part of the franchise, too. For better or worse. They should watch them and suffer like we all had to.
@@BoricuaBoy88 lol Bruh ^^"
dark phoenix can be skipped
Fact: This movie was directed by Brett Ratner as Brian Singer (director of the first 2 X-Men movies) left for WB's Superman Returns. As Ratner was not too familiar with X-Men lore, he depended heavily on the screenwriters to craft the story.
#IBlameAviArad
James Marsden also left with Singer to work on the Superman movie, leaving him almost no time to film this one. Hence why he was killed off early, because most of his scenes had to be cut.
Big mistake & lazy work. Showed a lack of passion on his part.
Bryan Singer is a chi mo.
@@Zombiesnyder13 For Singer not directing TLS or Ratner being hired? If Singer, I think Singer has some responsibility for that as well, as he wanted to direct SR.
The guy with blue fur, played by Kelsey Grammer, is named Beast, just like Wolverine, Rogue, Storm, etc.
There are three Wolverine movies, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which tells his backstory, and introduces the character of Wade Wilson/Deadpool, played by Ryan Reynolds. Audiences liked his portrayal of Wade and HATED how they depicted the Deadpool character. Actually, he wasn't really Deadpool.
Then there's The Wolverine, a stand-alone story featuring Logan. And finally, there's Logan.
After this movie comes the prequel X-Men: First Class. Which was made because the studio wanted to "reboot" the series with younger actors, but they didn't want the fan backlash that would come from just remaking the movies, so they made it a prequel. Then they added a little time travel in a later movie, changing the timeline, and presto, they can make movies with a younger cast and do whatever they want with them. They also ignore the fact that the stories stray into the same time period as depicted in this movie, but the characters are still being played by the new cast, rather than these original actors, as should logically happen.
Someday they'll get to watch "Logan". It's the film that Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman wept together on opening night. Many raw cut onions were served in the concession stand that evening.
She was talking about saving her by killing her
The braindead patient Moira McTaggert is tending to is Xavier's twin brother.
Xavier transfers his mind to his brother's body, exactly as in the hypothetical ethics question he was asking.
A LOT of people don't figure that out.
A lot of people don’t figure it out because there’s no evidence of it. The only reason anyone knows is because of the DVD commentary.
@@Matrim42 The movie makes it pretty obvious if you pay any attention.
@@ieyke No it don't actually. There is only one line in the movie when Xavier asks the ethics question and its not revisited till the post credits scene. It's easy to miss.
@@BrennaUrbangirl Easy to miss if you're not paying attention or don't see the scenes. But obvious otherwise.
@@ieyke I mean, you’re wrong, but go off I guess.
From all the reactions. people are forgetting about, she has psychic. She could clearly read Logan's mind. So no cure is optional!
If you think Patrick Stewart looking the exact same as 20 years ago is somehow supernatural, I must disappoint you. That's just the power of Patrick Stewart. Dude has looked the exact same since the early 80s until deep into the 2010s. It's only recently that he started showing his age.
I personally would recommend the *FIVE* episode Dark Phoenix story arc from the 90 X-Men Animated Series any day over this film for anyone who wants a perfect adaptation of The Dark Phoenix Saga. For me the Animated Series is the definitive version of this storyline so it saddens me so much when films try to adapt these amazing stories but just miss the mark by a light year. Same thing happened with Batman & Robin (1997) a film that pulled from the Batman Animated Series, episode *Heart of Ice* but did not come close to the masterpiece of storytelling that is the Batman Animated Series. Sometimes I feel like Animation is just the way to go for most comic book media but then we get some amazing comic book movies and shows and I think "Wait a minute this is amazing stuff" and then Madam Webb releases.... Then Invincible and X-Men 97 are amazing and you think "Maybe Animation is still the way to go".
Comparing BTAS with Batman & Robin.. I had to double-read that, as my first thought was you meant' The adventures of Batman and Robin' aka BTAS season 2.... and then the realizing came you where making the futile attempt to compare BTAS with THAT movie.
*I can get the popular girls to see a Marvel movie. But getting them to READ comic books would require me to look like Hugh Jackman.*
It's actually a ten episode arc, but yes, the animated Phoenix Saga is by far the best version of the story. It's even better than the original comics version.
@@Rocket1377 *You're giving Disney Plus ideas.*
This movie was directed by different people from the previous 2 movies. That's why it feels so different.
#IBlameAviArad
It feels like different movies in the same movie.
@@ct6852exactly
@@ct6852 a lot was cut out of it too.
If even a chunk of it was kept in, might've made a difference.
@@k.delpino1124 Did they ever release different versions of it? Like a Snyder Cut situation?
I LOVE how Carly is like, "isn't that his dad?" and "I saw the chess piece move!" And Cassie says no both times. And I'm just yelling at my screen, yes it was, yes it did! Think it happened a few weeks ago with another movie where she recognised a younger actor and Cass was like, no I don't think it is him. I wonder if this is common in big sisters who take the lead and discount theories and questions that the little sis have haha. My older brother definitely would! 😆
Also I'm fine with them skipping a few but I really want to see them react to Logan. It's a must! Probably the highest critically reviewed one left from critics and audiences, and I'll definitely be crying along with them!
Hank IS called Beast or The Beast. Also yes the Chess piece did move. And yes Charles put his consciousness into that person’s body so he technically isn’t dead!
*Angel* & *Beast*
The "Eagle" character is called Angel (Warren Worthington III) who made his first appearance in X-Men #1 (1963) and was an original member of Professor Charles Xavier's X-Men appearing alongside Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, and Iceman. Marvel Girl being Jean Grey's name throughout the original 1960s X-Men comics. Beast (Hank McCoy) also appeared in X-Men #1 and like Angel was an original member of the first X-Men team. During this time Beast didn't have his iconic blue colour or fur at all and resembled a human with big feet and hands.
*The Little Kid* & *The Morlocks*
The little kid who can "cure" Mutant abilities is listed as Leech a kid from the comics and X-Men Animated Series but the movie differs greatly from his comic/animated appearance. In both the Comic and Animated Series Leech is depicted as having green skin with big clear eyes looking closer to depictions of classic green aliens than a human in terms of his face. He was taken in by the Morlocks a community of mutants living in the underground tunnels beneath the New York area living as outcasts thanks to how they looked, unlike most of the X-Men excluding Nightcrawler and Beast most of the Morlocks cannot hide their Mutations and suffer the most from Anti Mutant, hideous and deformed according to the humans.
The church scene in this film did showcase the Morlocks but I would've preferred more unique physical Mutations, film highlighted people with unique facial structures that made them stand out but I wouldn't say it made them look like a Mutants just normal people with a one of a kind face. Compare this to someone with spikes sticking out of their body to a person with white skin and massive red eyes. I feel like the people behind the film didn't want to go too far into the "monstrous" thinking it would scare away the more mainstream audience. Judging off how they made Leech a normal looking kid which is a shame as the Morlocks are such an important aspect of this world and so are Mutants who stick out as differant. But regardless we still got characters like Nightcrawler and Beast giving you an idea of how much a Mutation can change a persons phyrcial appearance.
*Lack of Personality*
Alot the background Mutants are pulled from the comics minus their iconic outfits so most of them are easy to miss. After watching X-Men 97 i started to re-remember how much personality all these Mutant characters have in both outfits and character designs something the films strip away unfortunately for alot of them. It's like Captain America showing up in a tank top with a star on it... I feel like Superhero films during the early 2000s were just scared of showing anyone with a colourful unique outfit. This is something we've thankfully overcome in the past two decades and even before this during the later half of the 2000s we started to see more personality come into the outfits worn by characters from Watchmen to Superman Returns and Spider-Man.

excellent summations
Do NOT try to figure out a comprehensive timeline for these movies. Think of them as alternate universes.
"Could he have just got a boat?" Exactly!
Look kids! It’s Bill Duke. “I’m gonna have me some fun.”
Loved to hear the rules lawyering about Rogue interacting with the anti-mutation kid. Everyone gets into discussions like that.
HAHA, I think they are ready to go to a comic con now. Funny how many random discussions I have had over the years with friends and strangers about different fandoms.
They were wrong about that. Leech's powers do not switch on automatically. Rogue or any other mutant could use their abilities in his vicinity, he has to consciously shut them down, and that won't happen if he is surprised or his concentration is broken.
@@Rocket1377 That doesn't seem to be true in this film universe. Otherwise, he would have turned his power off so Kitty could make them escape through that wall. Maybe in this universe he'll learn that kind of control eventually -- or, then again, maybe not.

I still remember the audience reaction to Magneto moving that chess piece.
The “Eagle boy” is Angel who was one of the original X-Men from 1963 in the comics along with Cyclops, Beast (the blue fur Secretary of Mutant Affairs), Iceman, and Marvel Girl (Jean Grey) that Professor X recruited.
"the eagle boy"
I do love this channel 😂
Please watch all of them! They all connect in a weird way. Keep it up its gonna be a great adventure!
It's funny you mentioned Wanda because in the comics Wanda was Magneto's daughter and yes, she and Jean Grey were two of the most powerful mutants in that universe.
"Eagle Boy", is actually called Angel.
Angel along with Hank/Beast, Scott/Cyclops, Jean/Marvel Girl and Bobby/Iceman were the original 5 X-men.
In the comics/animated series, yes. Not in the movies.
24:58 lol “how do you know they’re bone darts?!!” I laughed really hard at that.

“Could we have just got a boat?” 😂😂😂
Honestly, of the original 3 X-Men films, this one is my favorite because it was the first one I recall watching.
Just posting without looking it up (cbf) The Mutant 'cure' ends up to be only temporary (hence Magneto moving the chess piece at the end) Prof X did in fact transfer is consciousness into another body right before he died (when he was talking to his class about it, the body in a coma, in the 'zoom call' during the class is actually his twin brother! His twin brother is brain dead so its kinda ok for Xavier to take it over)
wow I've seen this movie likely a dozen times and never knew there was a post credit scene. And yes the Chess piece did move, very slightly. xD
Wolverine goes to San Francisco then back to NYC in a few hours 😂😂😂
The 1-to-5 classification for mutants has got to be an invention of this movie. In comics, the most powerful beings are Omega level threats.
It's just FOX X-Men.
Thank you for relaying this information.
And multiple X-men are Omega level
Phoenix is off the scale, she/it (the Phoenix force can manifest however it wants)...is a singular multi-versal level threat, the cosmic force of creation and destruction. As crazy powerful as she was in this movie, her powers were kinda weak compared to the comics.
However there are also some who demonstrate powers *BEYOND* Omega Level
Omega doesn't not mean they are most powerful. It simply means they have unlimited POTENTIAL. Forge is the most powerful technopath on Earth, but he is not an Omega level mutant, because he has reached the maximum level for what his ability can achieve and cannot grow beyond that limit.
However, the soft reboot XMen that come right after this have two instant classics back to back. XMEN FIRST CLASS is appropriately named as it is first class all the way. Incredible blueprint how to reboot a series right. However, XMEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST is the high water mark and XMEN movies finest hour. No spoilers. But, it's the one truly non prime era MCU film that could've fit in with those movies in terms of quality. It's freakin' cool.
Imo Logan, + Deadpool 1&2 were equal to, if not better then DOFP. However, all 3 of those films focus on one character so i find it difficult to compare them.
@@absolutezero6423 I'd throw maybe Blade 2 in there as well. Spiderman 2 was good also (the McGuire one).
The two sisters were a lot of fun to watch during War of the Worlds
They're sooo squeamish.
@@russelturner5771 it's cute af
Their reaction to the aliens was priceless.
"Nope! Nope! Nope!"
I think I re-watched that scene about a dozen times.
I love your twos' reactions and thoughts while watching movies.
Ngl it always got on my nerves the way Storm (the one who can make lightning and sunshine) told Rogue (the one who kills everyone she touches) that both powers were a gift. 🙄 Storm, I love you, but that was so insensitive. If Rogue wants a cure then that’s it. Her (mutant) body, her (mutant) choice.
Greetings! My take on the series:
X-Men: Awesome
X2: Awesome
X-men last stand: Okay (post credits scenes)
X-Men origins wolverine: Decent. The one with the failed Deadpool (post credit scenes)
The Wolverine: Awesome
Logan: Acclaimed as one of the best superheroes movies ever
X-Men first Class: Good
Days of Future Past: Acclaimed as one of the best superheroes movies ever (post credit scenes)
X-Men Apocalypse: Decent (post credit scenes)
X-Men dark Phoenix: psychological thriller in X-Men Halloween costume
The new Mutants: mutant horror. Can probably be skipped
Deadpool: Awesome. Rewatch with Carly (post credit scenes)
Deadpool 2 super duper cut: Awesome. Rewatch with Carly (post credit scenes)
edit: the wolverine has post credit scenes
Personally I think all of the X-men movies are kind of cheesy except for Logan. Everything from costume and make-up, script and effects just seem too cartoony and not like a world you could believe is real.
And DOFP is acclaimed as one of the best superhero movies ever? I thought it was just ok.
Origins is a 90's direct to dvd quality movie, only with a higher budget.
38:38 There are THREE Wolverine films actually.
1. "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"
2. "The Wolverine"
3. "Logan"
I don’t know why they pay their marketing departments so much money. They come up with some of the most nonsense movie titles.
Yeah, it's confusing. I think they tried to pretend that the first one didn't happen. Especially after Deadpool basically erased it from existence.
@@Rocket1377 Wasn't it Days of Future Past that "erased" Origins?
@@The_Invisible_Hand yep.
Even Wade Wilson's origin into Deadpool (a true blessing).
I know Ryan Reynolds was happy with that.
glad you remembered the case study thing! so many people don't notice that.
the dark phoenix saga is one of those quintessential xmen stories that always gets adapted. im almost sure mcu phases 7-9 (mutant saga) is going to build up to this moment.
Eagle boy is called Angel or Archangel/ Warren Worthington 3rd. He is one of the original 5 X-men team members from the first class in the comics. They are Cyclops, Jean Grey/ Marvel Girl/Phoenix, Beast, Iceman, and Angel.
Tell beast to stop sh**ing on my lawn
😂😂😂😂😂
Rogue was completely wasted after the last two movies.
Rogue and Cyclops, man they did him SO dirty. The guy is the best natural leader of any team in Marvel and they made him the "nice guy" boyfriend on the verge of being cucked.
@@Bananahammock681 Its sad they never found a way to bring out best of Scott. He was leader and almost protege of Xavier. When then things got tough and Xavier wasn't he around people usually turn to him. He should have been guy that could step up and do more but instead he was third fiddle comic relief being most useless in franchise.
@@abc123tiktokthey just want the rough wolf to outstand the real xman natural leader. twisted american standard of a man. 😒
@@Bananahammock681I loved Scott in the comics. I hoped they would develop him in the movies but they didn’t. But what they did to the phoenix saga in this movie is just one of the things I can never accept or get over. This movie still makes me angry perhaps unlike any other adaptions ever has.
lol bone darts took me out Carly! Lol. Cassie- how do you know they’re bone darts. Carly - Cause its coming out of his bodyyyyyyy lmao
“How do you know they’re bone darts?” 🤣
The X-Men have a "holodeck" called The Danger Room. The metal skin guy is Colossus, who is in Deadpool, with a different look played by a different actor.
The one in Deadpool IS Colossus, this one, "we have Colossus at home"
Colossus in both Deadpool movies is completely CGI.
Colossus: The Forbin Project 1970
Yes! And "The Andromeda Strain"!
3 down

33:23 Oh, I love that scene with Iceman so much!
Wolverine would say to you: You want the best? You got it.
...bub
Did you mean "beast"?
Having watched X-Men 97, and seeing how Mags reacted when a mutant got their powers taken in that, and comparing it to the way he just abandoned Mystique in this makes me hate this one just a little bit more now.
That scene was perfection, X-men 97 has almost ironically been the biggest hit of nostalgia while having the most risks, depth, passion, creativity and soul poured into it. A continuation of a 90's kids cartoon outclasses most of the MCU.
The one thing that always makes me face palm, is the part where they use the cure kids powers to knock out Juggernaut. His powers are mythical and not from a mutation, his helmet is an artifact that gives him his unstoppable force and large body; so the cure kid shouldn't have been able to disable Juggernaut's abilities...
The Phoenix story is about the X-men going into space to defeat an evil alien D’Ken dictator of the Shiar and stop him from using the M’Kran crystal to take over a part of the galaxy. Jean gets the powers of the guardian of the crystal, The Phoenix. It takes the X-men, the Shiar guard and Space Pirates called Star Jammers to defeat him. The Star Jammers are led by Corsair/ Christopher Summers, father of Cyclops. Cyclops dies in this movie because the actor was also in Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns movie which wasn’t very good.
37:55 "Did everything in that movie just get reset?" Welcome to the X-Men movie series. 😆
Imagine having the rights to this IP, a cast of this caliber, two amazing first films… and blowing it this hard.
It’s a shame. No matter what happens in future decades with new adaptions they’ll never have THIS cast again. And that’s a real waste of what could have been.
It's not that bad.
It's bad but it isn't HORRIBLE. The film isn't good but it does a lot of things right, and leaves things open for good stories in the future
I mentioned this in the first movie and ill say it again here. I actually really love the Rogue and Wolverine parent relationship and wish the movies focused more on it.
"I feel like he's kinda like the Beast from Beauty and the Beast." - Cassie talking about Hank McCoy AKA Beast
LOL
excited for Wolverine Origins, not everyone's favorite but I like it
What happened to your Apocalypse Now reaction did it get blocked ? I was just about to check it out
oh, i can't wait til you meet Iranian American actress Shohreh Aghdashloo (that female scientist with the beautiful deep voice) again as Chrisjen Avasarala in The Expanse. She's is a force to be reckoned with.
Next up X-men first class. There’s 3 wolverines. Wolverine origins. The Wolverine. And Logan. A lot of people dislike the origins movie. But the origin of Wolverine is good. It’s what they do to other characters that people complain.
This one is my favorite of X-Men movies.
Mine too I don’t care how messy it is
Yesss! :D
mine too
Bone darts!!! 🤣🤣🤣
37:16 you caught that in your first reaction
People still don’t know this post credit exists years later
They’re still confused that Charles died and is alive
Regarding the ending:
There was an idea to have Leech stand by the window, leaving it up to the audience to decide, whether or not Rogue actually took the cure.
This was the highest grossing X-Men film for 8 years.
Yet it's considered one of the most hated.
Brett Ratner replacing Bryan Singer as director was because Singer bowed out to do 'Superman Returns' (strange choice to some).
This one moved a little quicker than the first 2 films and upped the action (a la' video games and animated series).
Between Jean becoming the Phoenix, this new cure being made and Magneto staging a final attack to tip the balance did make for some goodness.
So much was cut from the film as the alternate versions of some scenes and deleted scenes are actually pretty cool.
Most of us following the franchise knew that this was the end for the moment.
Fox wasn't done and more X-movies were coming.
But last and not least, X3 did another milestone as the first-ever Marvel movie with a post-credits scene.
It's funny because both films ended up being 2 of the worst modern Superhero films ever made at that point. And Yeah, people were SUPER pissed about this film.
@@LIGHTNING132YTGI Know That
I Hated This Movie Because I Felt That They Were Getting Ahead Of Themselves Having Gene Gray Marvel Girl 👩🏻 Transform Into Phoenix.
Because In The Original Comic Book Phoenix Dies.
And I Knew That That Was Going To Piss Off Fans , ( Just Like It Did In Real Life In 1980 When Phoenix Died In X-Men #137 September 1980 )
I Was Hoping For A Couple More Movies Because I Thought 🤔 That The Lady That Played 'Marvel Girl' Was Really Good.
@@johnhenryclark911 That definitely could have been a contributing factor. It's not necessarily a bad movie, but it really feels sloppy and rushed.
@@LIGHTNING132YTG feels sloppy and rushed because Singer was gone and Ratner was just thrown in.
@@k.delpino1124 Idk if that's the sole reason. It very well could be, but i feel like the producers wanted the film released quickly which is usually the case. It could also be that the writer took the first idea that sounded decent for a live-action film and put it on paper. However, we'll probably never know the real reason unless someone involved decides to say it. I would give the film about a 6 out of 10 personally. Not terrible, but just decent.
What happened to Apocalypse Now ?
21:17 Mark! Ahem. By the way! KG is in the 1996 movie "Down Periscope" a naval exercise comedy with Bruce Dern as his bitter rival! 😂 Before "NCIS" actress Lauren Holly was in this movie. Her character had no female uniform to wear for awhile, aboard the submarine, so she wore a man's uniform and her bust popped the buttons, thus providing suitable distracting cleavage as needed! LH played the comic book movie character "Betty" in "Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again" and this time her butt was the distraction during a game of tennis. In "NCIS" as the director, you would never know that she played comedy roles with sex appeal! 😮😂
lol... describing Beast as "like beast from beauty and the beast" without knowing his hero name is priceless Cassie.
