    When Xavier warns the President of the upcoming war in X-Men 3, that scene may seem like just an easy way to set up a sequel. But let's look at this scene more closely and see how it actually wraps up several character arcs and shows how the events of the film changed the X-Men/Human relationship.

    The "little girl who can walk through walls" line is also a callback to Senator Kelly from the first film, who used the exact same girl as a symbol of fear.

  • @mitchelldexter7713

    "Little girl who walks through walls" is also a payoff to the first movie with the introduction and the concerns of what a mutant like that could do.

      100% correct.
      "Here's a girl in Illinois who can walk through walls. Now what's to stop her from walking into a bank vault, or the White House, or.."

    • @Cheesusful
      @Cheesusful 3 роки тому +5

      It's not also a payoff, the video essayist missed that that was the entire point of mentioning her, same reason the mutant who tried to kill the president earlier in the film (nightcrawler) is sitting behind Xavier doing nothing.

      @jackofhearts1067 3 роки тому +6

      @@Cheesusful Good point. By mentioning Shadowcat aka Kitty Pride's ability - and the files as the solid proof of her capabilities - he flexed on the fact that they totally have the ability to kill him and wreck havoc, but didn't, thus proving his point.

  • @MBeccaro
    @MBeccaro 3 роки тому +95

    I think the little girl in question is a reference to one of the politicians speech (right before the first Xavier Magneto talk) from the begining of the first movie when a guy (maybe Trask? Can't remember) tells about a little girl who can walks into a bank vault in Illinois. Kurt laughs because it was him, Xavier wouldn't send kitty into danger at that age, but the line works in both contexs.

  • @Jose-se9pu
    @Jose-se9pu 3 роки тому +14

    One overlooked aspect of Dark Phoenix (well, the whole movie was overlooked) is how much of a jerk and an idiot Charles was for the first time in the franchise.
    In that timeline, Charles had a direct phone line with the President, and was pretty much his lapdog, while in this timeline, we see Charles telling the President, in a very polite way, "dont fuck with us".
    A shame we didnt go to see more of a flawed Charles, because in the comics he was shown in that light several times, while in the movies he was always shown as the perfect mentor, with the exception of Dark Phoenix (in DOFP, he eventually came to his senses and by the end of the movie he "saved the day"...in Dark Phoenix, he doesnt manage to save Jean, his school, his reputation, or anything, that is why he quits and leaves the school in Hank's hands).

      Because he was talking about Trask talking about someone like Kitty going through walls in the first movie.

And nearly succeeded. I know he was under mind control, but still.
