    24:30 Charles is a twin, but when he and his twin were developing in the womb and Charles' mutant gene developed and activated first, his immense psychic ability actually drained away the consciousness of his twin, leaving him a blank slate. The twin, as you can imagine, has the same mutant power but only one of them had the chance to develop. When Jean killed Charles in his original body, he used his powers just before dying to transfer his consciousness to his twin's body since it was just a blank husk. This was the reason they kept his twin's body alive all these years, and he knew he could do this and told the nurses there that if that body ever wakes up, it will be him not his twin

      Originally Magneto was a more generic bad guy with mutant powers. It was Chris Claremont's idea to make Charles & Magnus former friends. He might have created Magneto's Holocaust origin as well. It's been a long time.
      Frankly, Claremont & Byrne (who helped plot was well as do artwork) along with Terry Austin (inker) and Glynis Wein (colorist) created one of the best series ever written. I think so anyway.

      Reading the comics helps, but the movie does explain it, it just goes by really fast. In X3 they did have a scene somewhere in the middle where they showed Charles's brain dead twin brother who was in a hospital in a comatose state... but they did not mention his name or show his face until we see him wake up in the post credit scene with Charles's contentiousness. So not only, did she miss the post credit scene but the few lines and reference to the situation in the middle of the film goes by really fast, blink and you can miss it.

Charles wants to coexist and prove that mutants aren’t a threat to anyone and should be treated as equals but Eric believes that they aren’t equals and that there can’t be coexistence and wants to force Conflict between the two. everything he does in this movie is in service of that, Mutants need to rule the world and humans need to be afraid.

    The Sentinels in this movie are way scarier and deadlier than in the comics. This movie is one of the few times when they actually improve upon something in the comics. In the comics, the Sentinels were often rather goofy and too easily taken down. Heck, there was one time in the comics where a Sentinel simply dropped dead because a random beam of light overloaded its sensors.
    This movie is also surprisingly accurate to the comics. The main difference is that Mystique was trying to assassinate Senator Kelly, not Bolivar Trask. Kitty sent herself back her younger self rather than sending Wolverine. And in the comics the Sentinels only took over the US, not the entire world.
    Still, this is one of the greatest comic book movies ever made. In fact, 2014 was a really great movie year.
    What I also love is that this is (and MAYBE X3) the only movie that does justice to Storm and shows her being a great leader and uses her powers in an interesting way (like creating a massive blizzard to slow down the Sentinel carriers, charging up Bishop and combing her power with Magneto's to take down a horde of Sentinels). The whole teamwork the mutants show against the future Sentinels is really creative and effective.
    Also, Charles can't freeze time. He can just put people's minds on pause.
    Also, Magneto throws the stadium on the White House specifically because he believes there's no chance of humans ever accepting mutants. So he attacks the president to make an example and trying to inspire mutants to revolt.

The past sentinels look okay but i do wish we got to see the modern day sentinels of the 2000s like i stated we saw one in X3 in the danger room but only the head. In terms of combat yeah i do like how deadly they are but just not a fan of the designs could've been a lot closer an still look futuristic.

    "Disclaimer: I didn't see the Rogue Cut..."
    And many of us hadn't; but if the numbers are up and you release it here in UA-cam, it would be a pleasure to take that particular film ride with you :). As you've mentioned: it's a bit hard to keep up, not only with the chronologies but also with the versions. Some were released alongside the "original version", some were released years later... one can't be sure if the extended versions or the new cuts add something else to the original story unless one asks in advance if they are worth it, so yeah: it's comprehensible. But don't be too hard with your selection, basically if you are "reacting for the first time" to Marvel Films, you are following the path every single person had to follow when the films first came out: the theathrical version first, and later on the discovery of extended cuts XD. "Avoiding spoilers" also implicates not knowing how good the existing extended cuts out there really are.
    "It's less gross when the claws are covered in Adamantium"
    It should be noted too that with the Adamantium cover they pierce through the skin more easily, in theory XD. And the sound is more metallic, not bone going through flesh :P.
    "Erick! Why you think killing her is better?"
    Because he doesn't know (and has never been really convinced) of the "middle ground". If Mystique was the key to develop the Sentinels of the future, that danger will always be with her for as long as she lives. How do you really make sure there is no way shape shifting technollogy is developed around her skills? Erasing her from the map. That plan has several flaws, but Erick sees it in the short time: no Mystique, no powers, no threaths to the mutants.
    "Natalie Gold's funny unintended expression"
    If those are a lot, they could make a nice little clip for the end of the year; with any remarkable bloopers XD. Just saying :P.
    "How cool it would be some things of the past movies and the plot could be undone"
    Wait for it... And yeah! Allow me to introduce you to the concept of "retconning" that comics use whenever they want to undo crazy stuff or bring back characters meant to be dead XD. It's nicely done here, though, since many of the choices were not well received in the past movies and so far there has not been any film featuring the 2000's original cast, but it was nice to see them back (basically undoing several things of the past films). And Jean has always been a redhead, but yeah, the first films don't boost her hair color a lot XD.
    And that would be it, nothing much to add to this reaction; it was great :). See you in the next one.

Because each one of us has within our cells subtle mutations - we are all mutants. Once the Sentinels realize this the entire human race is deemed mutants and put on the hunt list.

      Though I often agree with that, I actually prefer the theatrical version of this to the Rogue cut. The Rogue cut explains how the Sentinels found their hidden base, which in a weird way actually makes the Sentinels less intimidating. The theatrical makes it seem like they will eventually find the mutants no matter what.

    Quicksilver was a difficult character in the comics. I think the movie treatment was brilliant, if a little overpowered.
    The music in his big scene was "Time in a Bottle", a 1973 hit by Jim Croce. Jim was a genius who was taken from us far too young. This was his biggest hit during his lifetime, but perhaps his more enduring legacy was "Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown".

    Eh, the Rogue Cut’s not necessary. It’s pretty good but the theatrical is fine. Not to say don’t watch it, go ahead.
    Kitty being able to send someone’s mind back in time is an extension of her phasing power
    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
    Trask was technically in X Men before. In Last Stand played by Bill Dukes as the head of the DHS and aid to the president during the war with the mutants. First name never said.
    On top of that, the giant robot they were fighting in the danger room in Last Stand had a more comic accurate Sentinel look. Or at least the head did.
    In the comics it actually is the case that Quicksilver’s perspective is everyone else going super slow. He compares it to being stuck behind someone who’s taking forever at an ATM, all the time
    The screenwriter speculated that Kennedy's mutant power manifested as a telepathic form of persuasion.
    The inconsistencies started with First Class. Remember in Last Stand when Xavier and Erik meet young Jean? Charles was already bald, yet still walking, and Erik was with him, implying their time as allies was a lot longer than depicted in FC. And in the first movie Charles says Magneto found some way to block his telepathy, not saying it’s the helmet, yet in FC he clearly sees Erik wearing it and knows he can’t get past it
    I’m sorry, it’s hilarious to me that you went so long thinking he was freezing time and not just the people. Like even in first class when he freezes a guy at the water fountain the water is still going 😂
    It was his twin brother’s body he took over
    The look of the rebar in Logan is reminiscent of a moment in the comics when Magneto rips the adamantium out of him.
    Jean has always had red her. Though it was more vibrant when she was Pheonix
    En Sabah Nur with his _Four Horsemen_ in the background. His name translates to “The First One.” It’s not the name he’s generally known by. You’ll learn it.

    The Rogue cut shows that Mystique's body/mutation helped kickstart the sentinel program (mutant genocide androids), but Rogue's body/mutation keeps it fueled and highly advanced in the future (stealing powers). So there's a rescue scene in the future to get her. Just gives more story to the original cast in the future. Also it shows that Wolverine and Storm are together, and one of their fears is that if they save the future by changing the past, they might not end up together, but they do the right thing for the greater good.
    To sum up Shadowcat's powers in the movies, most mutants' powers get more powerful or radical as they age, and Kitty (and anyone she touches to join) can "phase through anything," so she can even phase through time eventually.
    Maximoff is familiar because that's Pietro and Wanda Maximoff (Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch), Magneto's oldest 2 kids. He has 4 total, one being Polaris who has the same powers as Magneto and green hair (sometimes mutation just comes with a colour or secondary power or both). His youngest daughter (can't remember her name) can communicate with animals.
    If you're wondering who else has important kids: Xavier has a son (Legion - multiple personalities and powers), Cyclops and Phoenix have a daughter (Prestige - same powers as Jean), Cyclops and Goblin Queen (Jean's evil clone) have a son (Cable - same powers as Jean), Wolverine has a psycho son (Daken - same powers as him) and a female clone (X-23 - also same powers as Wolverine), and Mystique and Azazel (red devil teleporter in First Class) have a son (Nighcrawler - blue devil teleporter in X2). In the books Mystique is also the adoptive mother of Rogue, making Rogue and Nightcrawler stepsiblings. And Mystique's bi and has a wife (Destiny who's blind but her powers give her glimpses of possible futures).
    I HIGHLY recommend reading HoX/PoX by Jonathan Hickman to anyone. Similar but better than the Days of Future Past book, and you don't need to know anything about X-Men at all, but you'll love it the more you know, which the movies are plenty enough. The book stands alone well.
