Is it just me, or did they actually find/cast the actor who played Banshee in X-Men: First Class because he had a resemblance to the girl who played Siryn in this scene of X2? She is only on screen for a few seconds, but I believe that there might be a slight likeness between the two.
In the comics, Magneto has wavered between the heroic and villainous side. He actually ran Xavier's school for a while when Charles wasn't available. The tricky thing is, he believes he is doing the noble thing, that the mutants are and will be persecuted like his family had been during the Holocaust, so he's trying to protect them from a world that wants to control them.
Great reaction Marie like always. The basis for this movie was a graphic novel, "God Loves, Man Kills". It was changed a lot but the basic plot is still there. great story. From back when 'graphic novel' was both a specific publishing format and indicated a story meant to be for a more mature audience (in terms of more sophisticated themes and pacing that might be 'boring' for kids used to 'bright colors punch punch' type comics). The lake shot at the end was a huge teaser for fans of the comics. It's kinda hard to make out if you're not looking for it, but a Phoenix begins to appear on the water, and a Fun trivia: In the comics, Mystique (the shapeshifter) was married to a man of prominence and hid her mutant nature until she couldn't hide it when their son was born. That son had inky black skin, horns and a tail. That son was Nightcrawler aka Kurt Wagner (Vahg ner for rough pronunciation) who is the teleworking mutant we see in this movie. The woman with adamantium bones and claws was a rendition which doesn't hold up to the comic character Lady Deathstryke/Deathstrike. Keep up the good work.
Yeah, they don't get into that plotline during the films at all. Nor do they get into the comics' plotline about her pretty much adopting Rogue and Rogue starting out more on the dark side of the ledger. But Mystique is actually about as old as Charles. I guess if you can shapeshift, you can look as young as you want.
Hello Dawn!๐ I believe in the last film Logan impaled Mystique when she posed as Storm. Then, we see her on the floor at the end looking like a guard with the three knife wounds from Logan. So, she got away by posing as a guard. Good call guessing Nightcrawler would actually be a good guy, Dawn. Scott and Jean's fight damaged the dam.๐ That is why Stryker was freaking out when he looked at the gauges. The object under the water at the end was not a fish, it was bird shaped. Eventually the films lead to the prequels which reveal some of the characters past. Great reactions to your second original X-Men film, Dawn!!!!๐ฌ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
The actor hated his part as Nightcrawler but is one of the most badass action intros ever! Also we see mystique without the makeup. The blonde at the bar its her. Totally underrated
Yes, Alan Cumming is claustrophobic, and his role involved rubber appliances covering his whole head, making him feel like his head was locked in a box. So during filming he was basically living his worst nightmare come true, for 12+ hours a day, for weeks on end.
I love this film but it's worth meaning that the X-Men films arenโt the most faithful to the comics, especially since this was during a time when studios were still testing the waters with comic book adaptations. As a result, many changes were made to make the characters and stories feel less "comic book-y," if that makes sense. It's very much a re-imagined take on the X-Men for the 2000s audience that does away with the more wild ideas that may of been too much for mainsteweam audiences. The same applies to the Nolan Batman movies, where Nolan pushed to make those movies feel more realistic, as if they were set within our own world. The truth is, you can still tell grounded stories without having to apply these universes to our reality. You can embrace the supernatural, cosmic, and fantastical and still tell grounded stories. Man of Steel for example followed the trend that Nolan started with Dark Knight and it just did not work for a Superman movie. Thankfully, the X-Men movies didnโt go too far into being overly realistic, even when the X-Men movies progressed, they started embracing the comic book roots a lot more giving into the more fantastical elements. The Deadpool films are perhaps the most comic-accurate examples of this. If you're looking for a take on the X-Men that's even closer to the comics, I highly recommend X-Men '97 (2024), an amazing animated series that captures these characters amazingly. You'll actually care about everyone beyond Wolverine. So yeah just something to keep in mind. The X-Men comics are much more cosmic and fantastical when compared to the movies. Very much treat these films as their own thing, coming from the movies to X-Men '97 is a wild whiplash lol
@@passionsquietrage Don't get me wrong I love the Nolan trilogy, but I feel like more was lost than earned with Nolanโs attempt to ground everything to our own reality. Raโs al Ghul became just a normal guy, stripped of so much of his depth and mysticism from the comics. Gotham, too, lost its unique identity in The Dark Knight, where the city started to feel like just a stand-in for any American East Coast city. And as for Robin, he was turned into a cop with the legal name Robin who worked with Batman in a single film, rather than being developed into the iconic hero we know from the comics. I love the Nolan movies, with Batman Begins being my personal favorite, but by The Dark Knight, the "grounded in our own reality" approach felt a bit too much for me. I enjoy Man of Steel, but it definitely followed the trend set by The Dark Knight. Thankfully, it still retained the fantastical elements surrounding Krypton, which were some of the best parts of the film. However, the overall tone and depiction of Earth in Man of Steel were very much rooted in the idea of "What if Superman existed in the real world?" coming off Nolan's "What if Batman existed in the real world?".
@LittleGalaxyBoy I do agree that Ra's Al Ghul without the Lazarus pits was definitely odd. I also wasn't a fan of the way they told Harvey Dent's story and his transformation into Two-Face, a lot of the major aspects of his character were missing. That said, The Dark Knight is still one of the best comic book movies we've ever gotten. I hated how they revealed Blake's legal name to be Robin when it should have something like "Richard", "Mr. Grayson" etc and done as an easter egg for fans. The only issue I had with MoS was the death of Johnathan Kent by a tornado instead of the usual heart attack.
There is a TV show called Legion that doesn't get spoken about much but is worth watching. It follows Xaviers mutant son, diagnosed with schizophrenia at a young age, he goes to a treatment hospital. It's such a trippy show (and has a fantastically dark character role from Aubrey Plaza). The show does not interfere with the Fox/Marvel movie & TV show timeline, but has loose links to some characters and the comics, so you can watch it at anytime without worry of spoilers. It is three series long but I highly recommend it if you fancy a mutant brain twist of a time in between your 'Superhero' journey :)
This is my personal favorite, the opening with nightcralwer was amazing. Magneto was spectacular in this as well... but dude... mystique didn't die.. the police officers literally went up to a guard with 3 stab wounds right where wolverine got her, and they even confirmed it before the end of the last movie like cmon girl lmao i know these can be confusing but some of these questions asked are... different from other reactions i've seen
Hey Dawn! Yes, you did say that everyone has metal in their blood. But, not enough for Magneto to do anything with. Mystique injected him with a big syringe filled with iron for that escape. Also, I'm sure when she said "velcro", it's because he can't have metal zippers or buttons when going to see Magneto.
She also played Xenia Onatopp in the James Bond film Goldeneye. She was a maniac assassin whose favorite technique was to squeeze men to death between her thighs.
@@RichardFay The church scene was like a Pierce Bronson James Bond convention since all three characters appeared in his bond movies. Storm - Jinx (Die Another Day) Nightcrawler - Boris (Golden Eye)
There's a lot of the X Men universe you don't know. Nightcrawler (the blue guy) is the son of Mystique. And he is also the brother of Rogue. There's more I can tell you but I don't want to spoil anything.
Lot of people will go on about how the X-Men is this and started out meaning this or that, don't even worry about it, those folk have been into comics since the internet was in black and white. Get them watched and enjoyed! X
Yeah, I have a hard time watching her reactions. She seems nice enough, but itโs so frustrating to watch a reaction with someone who doesnโt remember anything. Like, sheโll ask a question right after reacting to the line that answered her question. Itโs almost impressive๐คฃ
@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 yeah, she's quite dizzy but the good dizzy ๐ I enjoy how unorthodox her commentary can get with the questions/logic she comes up with sometimes. And you can't forget about her laugh, love her frozen her face is when she laughs almost doll-like ๐คฃ
I do think they should have kept in one deleted scene. Xavier, after an attempt by Jason (I think that's Stryker's son's name) to manipulate him which Xavier sees through, overcomes his telepathic inhibitors, and compels Jason to free him. Xavier then travels back to the ruins of the X-Mansion and finds it abandoned except for one mutant girl, who we see has Jason's heterochromatic eyes, which lets us know this is all still an illusion. Sure, it lengthens the runtime, but it bothers me that in the theatrical cut, Charles seems rather gullible. It's obviously an illusion, yet he falls for it so fully. But, that deleted scene shows us something that can fool even us, the viewer, so we can believe how he hasn't seen through it. X2 is one of the best regarded X-movies, even popular consensus is that Logan is the best (and I know there are arguments as to whether First Class or Days of Future Past are better than it). Also, the next movie, X-Men: The Last Stand, is not well regarded (kind of considered a "best of the bad movies" thing), but it's important to see in order to understand some remaining movies (especially The Wolverine, which definitely takes place after it). Plus, it's not horrible, but a step down, is all.
Unfortunately the dynamic between Professor X and Magneto will most likely be lost on you simply because you didn't grow up in North America. The X-Men comics started in the '60s and was a loose parallel of the civil rights movement, with the mutants representing every race and the humans representing the white race. Professor X and Magneto are representations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcom X respectively. Professor X/Martin Luther King Jr. wanted to co-exist peacefully while Magneto/Malcom X wanted their own space away from everybody else. It is important to note Magneto never really instigates violence or action unless it is in response to violence or action against him or the mutants, much like Malcom X never called for violence unless it was in self defense. To call Professor X/Martin Luther King Jr. or Magneto/Malcom X evil would not be far, it would be more far to see both as different means to an end.
A bit of history on Nightcrawler (Kurt Wangner); You think he looked like a Black Devil, More like Blue. He gets his color from his Mother. Hint Hint; His mother is Mystique, his father is,,,,well, can't system until you have watched the film he is in.
Dawn, there is a movie set after Charles leaves the X mansion to another person to run it, her name is Emma Frost, she is the most powerful psychic after the professor, her and Banshee run the school, you will meet him in a later film as well as her, you will know her by her all white outfit of bondage leather, she is known as the White Queen, the movie i am talking about is Generation X (1995) it is the second junior Xmen team, the first junior team was set in the 1980s, the New Mutants, they have a movie from 2020, but Generation X is set in the 1990s
โ@@tonyclements1147 To be fair, the Fox movies don't even stick to any cohesive 'canon' on their own. Every X-men movie directly contradicts the previous one in several ways
Youโre going to have to get over calling them mutants. Because in the comics and that whole universe, thatโs just what theyโre called. It doesnโt have the same meaning as it does an our world where itโs just like someone with a deformity from chemicals or something.
Wagner (Nightcrawler) is a fan fave in the comics, but he has very short blue fur (and no tattoos). He is a devilish rogue and ladies man. Deathstrike is not actually a mutant in the comics, but a Japanese cyborg out for revenge against Logan for "stealing" the adamantium secret from her father. Mystique actually had her own comic run which you can pick up as a graphic novel, and I think you would enjoy. The war has always been between Magneto who wishes dominance over humanity, and humanity which wants to subjugate the mutants. Xavier's dream is being one of humans and mutants existing peacefully together.
The Japanese woman is Lady Deathstrike. In the comics Wolverine dated her. She finds out her father was murdered and believes Wolverine is responsible because her father developed the process that Striker uses to bond the Admantium to Wolverineโs Skeleton.
You're going to hear these 2 words over the course of these movies - "X-Men '97". The more you enjoy these movies (not counting the last 2) they more you'll love that series.
Colossus has the ability to have metal-skin and is one of the primary X-Men along with Kitty Pryde who can "ghost" through walls but doesn't show up much in the X-Men movies for some reason. Kitty gets some time against dime-store Juggernaut in the 3rd film though. In Deadpool 2, Juggernaut is much more "accurate" as is Colossus.
โA war between who, though?โ This entire movie was about a human trying to kill all mutants. Itโs about a coming war between mutants & non-mutants. Itโs what both X-Men movies you watched are about.
@Take_Me_Back_To_The_1980s You know I meant more modern. If Blade failed, we wouldn't have gotten X-Men, and so on. I don't think Howard The Duck had any impact on the MCU as we know it today.
โEveryone is Mystique!โ Not quite, however if Rogue โborrowedโ her shapeshifting, and Multiple Manโs duplication, then everyone could beโฆ ๐ค
Dawn, if you are curious and want to learn more about Wolverine's origin a good comic book set to read is WEAPON X by Barry Windsor-Smith. More info was added on by others later, but WEAPON X is a great start.
At this point in movies, comics were still coming to mainstream, so those of us tha know the story saw the signs and know what the ending meant. Lots of others didn't, so have fun with that. Cheers.
You saw that flood coming up the tunnel and said it was your worst nightmare, but there is one thing that could make is worse...the flood has a bunch of frogs swimming around in it. Frog flood!
Did you know that the people telling you what to look for didn't know what to look for the first time they watched the movie themselves... so I wouldn't worry about it. You're good. We've all been there, done that. Elitists exist in every space.
Magneto can manipulate the natural iron in our blood. He could kill us but it wouldn't have been enough iron for him to break out. Mystique injected the guard with a lot more iron so he could break out. This version of Magneto is far weaker than the immensely powerful comic book version. Comic book Magneto can affect the magnetic field of the entire world. He could cause massive earthquakes, shift continents. put up a magnetic shield to protect himself, etc ... Comic Book Cyclops is powerful enough to shatter mountains with his eye beams. It was his fight with Jean Grey (Marvel Girl in the comics) that caused the damage to the dam.
2:44 "Oh. He looks _younger._ I wonder if, like, 'cause you know how his body heals itself. It, maybe, makes him not grow _old."_ Well now, Dawn, don't you remember, in the first one, when Jean described the traits of Wolverine that she could assess? He had undergone a procedure that grafted adamantium all along his _skeleton;_ sure to be an excruciating experience; the kind of experience most people would not _survive,_ but he did because of his uncharted _healing_ abilities; healing abilities that, subsequently made her unable to assess his age. She said, "He may, very well, be older than _you,_ professor." Now, it's true, he ages very _slowly,_ but he _does age._ Nothing that lives lives forever. In cinema, that would be unrelatably unrealistic.
23:28 "Oh, she _is_ a healer. Is she? Yeah! She is!" Of course, she is. She underwent the adamantium grafting process and _survived._ Only someone with an augmented _healing_ factor can do that.
It is amazing how this movie is simultaneously the best of the X-Men movies and the dumbest movie ever at the same time. It is frustratingly entertaining :D
It looks like your next movie is Hulk. When you watch that movie, keep in mind that it's not an action movie but a psychological drama about a man coming to terms with his repressed trauma.
Everyone trying to point out things for the future, remember that Dawn was spoiled on the Vader reveal AND the Leia reveal by some asshole after A New Hope went out. Nobody is making you do this! Just let her watch the film!

Yup, that gave me a chuckle.
In the comics, Magneto has wavered between the heroic and villainous side. He actually ran Xavier's school for a while when Charles wasn't available.

Yeah, I have a hard time watching her reactions. She seems nice enough, but itโs so frustrating to watch a reaction with someone who doesnโt remember anything. Like, sheโll ask a question right after reacting to the line that answered her question. Itโs almost impressive๐คฃ
@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 yeah, she's quite dizzy but the good dizzy ๐ I enjoy how unorthodox her commentary can get with the questions/logic she comes up with sometimes. And you can't forget about her laugh, love her frozen her face is when she laughs almost doll-like ๐คฃ

"it's Firo". That made me laugh
I do think they should have kept in one deleted scene. Xavier, after an attempt by Jason (I think that's Stryker's son's name) to manipulate him which Xavier sees through, overcomes his telepathic inhibitors, and compels Jason to free him. Xavier then travels back to the ruins of the X-Mansion and finds it abandoned except for one mutant girl, who we see has Jason's heterochromatic eyes, which lets us know this is all still an illusion. Sure, it lengthens the runtime, but it bothers me that in the theatrical cut, Charles seems rather gullible. It's obviously an illusion, yet he falls for it so fully. But, that deleted scene shows us something that can fool even us, the viewer, so we can believe how he hasn't seen through it.
X2 is one of the best regarded X-movies, even popular consensus is that Logan is the best (and I know there are arguments as to whether First Class or Days of Future Past are better than it). Also, the next movie, X-Men: The Last Stand, is not well regarded (kind of considered a "best of the bad movies" thing), but it's important to see in order to understand some remaining movies (especially The Wolverine, which definitely takes place after it). Plus, it's not horrible, but a step down, is all.
11:24 Proof that Deadpool can brake space-time and insert his song in past movies
Unfortunately the dynamic between Professor X and Magneto will most likely be lost on you simply because you didn't grow up in North America. The X-Men comics started in the '60s and was a loose parallel of the civil rights movement, with the mutants representing every race and the humans representing the white race. Professor X and Magneto are representations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcom X respectively. Professor X/Martin Luther King Jr. wanted to co-exist peacefully while Magneto/Malcom X wanted their own space away from everybody else. It is important to note Magneto never really instigates violence or action unless it is in response to violence or action against him or the mutants, much like Malcom X never called for violence unless it was in self defense. To call Professor X/Martin Luther King Jr. or Magneto/Malcom X evil would not be far, it would be more far to see both as different means to an end.

A bit of history on Nightcrawler (Kurt Wangner);
You think he looked like a Black Devil, More like Blue. He gets his color from his Mother.
Hint Hint;
His mother is Mystique, his father is,,,,well, can't system until you have watched the film he is in.
The one who turns into steel is named colossus
Dawn, there is a movie set after Charles leaves the X mansion to another person to run it, her name is Emma Frost, she is the most powerful psychic after the professor, her and Banshee run the school, you will meet him in a later film as well as her, you will know her by her all white outfit of bondage leather, she is known as the White Queen, the movie i am talking about is Generation X (1995)
it is the second junior Xmen team, the first junior team was set in the 1980s, the New Mutants, they have a movie from 2020, but Generation X is set in the 1990s
Neither of those movies are canon to the Fox franchise, and theyโre bad.
โ@@tonyclements1147 To be fair, the Fox movies don't even stick to any cohesive 'canon' on their own. Every X-men movie directly contradicts the previous one in several ways

Youโre going to have to get over calling them mutants. Because in the comics and that whole universe, thatโs just what theyโre called. It doesnโt have the same meaning as it does an our world where itโs just like someone with a deformity from chemicals or something.
there's mutants who are born with powers and mutates who develop powers from accidents or experiments
Wagner (Nightcrawler) is a fan fave in the comics, but he has very short blue fur (and no tattoos). He is a devilish rogue and ladies man.
Deathstrike is not actually a mutant in the comics, but a Japanese cyborg out for revenge against Logan for "stealing" the adamantium secret from her father.
Mystique actually had her own comic run which you can pick up as a graphic novel, and I think you would enjoy.
The war has always been between Magneto who wishes dominance over humanity, and humanity which wants to subjugate the mutants. Xavier's dream is being one of humans and mutants existing peacefully together.

The iron in our blood normally isnโt enough for magneto to do anything with that thatโs why mystique injected him with iron.
In the comics it's enough for him to cause strokes
Yeah, a gigadose. Even if Magneto hadn't done that to him, he's have probably been dead the next day from liver failure or something,
The Japanese woman is Lady Deathstrike. In the comics Wolverine dated her. She finds out her father was murdered and believes Wolverine is responsible because her father developed the process that Striker uses to bond the Admantium to Wolverineโs Skeleton.

Thanks Dawn I enjoyed watching you get excited about X-MEN, great reaction, Are you wearing you're kilt? Is that you're tartan?
Colossus has the ability to have metal-skin and is one of the primary X-Men along with Kitty Pryde who can "ghost" through walls but doesn't show up much in the X-Men movies for some reason. Kitty gets some time against dime-store Juggernaut in the 3rd film though. In Deadpool 2, Juggernaut is much more "accurate" as is Colossus.

Mystique has the same color skin and eyes as Nightcrawler because she is his mother in the comics. His father you will meet in X-men First Class.

On your Marvel journey make sure you don't forget the one that started it all. Blade was actually the first theatrical Marvel film.
Actually it was Howard the Duck
@Take_Me_Back_To_The_1980s You know I meant more modern. If Blade failed, we wouldn't have gotten X-Men, and so on. I don't think Howard The Duck had any impact on the MCU as we know it today.

More info was added on by others later, but WEAPON X is a great start.
At this point in movies, comics were still coming to mainstream, so those of us tha know the story saw the signs and know what the ending meant. Lots of others didn't, so have fun with that. Cheers.

Magneto can manipulate the natural iron in our blood. He could kill us but it wouldn't have been enough iron for him to break out. Mystique injected the guard with a lot more iron so he could break out. This version of Magneto is far weaker than the immensely powerful comic book version. Comic book Magneto can affect the magnetic field of the entire world. He could cause massive earthquakes, shift continents. put up a magnetic shield to protect himself, etc ...
Comic Book Cyclops is powerful enough to shatter mountains with his eye beams. It was his fight with Jean Grey (Marvel Girl in the comics) that caused the damage to the dam.

2:44 "Oh. He looks _younger._ I wonder if, like, 'cause you know how his body heals itself. It, maybe, makes him not grow _old."_
Well now, Dawn, don't you remember, in the first one, when Jean described the traits of Wolverine that she could assess? He had undergone a procedure that grafted adamantium all along his _skeleton;_ sure to be an excruciating experience; the kind of experience most people would not _survive,_ but he did because of his uncharted _healing_ abilities; healing abilities that, subsequently made her unable to assess his age. She said, "He may, very well, be older than _you,_ professor."
Now, it's true, he ages very _slowly,_ but he _does age._ Nothing that lives lives forever. In cinema, that would be unrelatably unrealistic.
23:28 "Oh, she _is_ a healer. Is she? Yeah! She is!"
Of course, she is. She underwent the adamantium grafting process and _survived._ Only someone with an augmented _healing_ factor can do that.

Can you rank them as you go? Perhaps on a table. Would be good to see it change as you go along. Just for the marvel stuff.
