Everyone is WRONG About X-Men: Apocalypse
Erik/Magneto tried, he really tried coexisting with humans. He saved one of his coworker's life without even thinking about it and they paid him by calling the cops who killed his family hours later. I don't justify what he did afterwards, but he has every reason to be pissed off with them.
Michael Fassbender did an excellent job portraying this character.
I always find it interesting when people don't like him.
@@sproductionsinc I know. Magneto was right but his methods were questionable
Fassbender is absolutely amazing. Even in Dark Phoenix, where nobody even tries (and Lawrence is just terrible), Fassbender does his best.
Magneto has always been my favourite character. I love the truth in his statement to Charles. “Make peace with the humans?”. “They can’t even make peace with themselves”.
Yeah, it sucks that he thinks Erik only as asshole in this movie
"Wait, isn't that Striker?" Our boy finally remembered someone, it's like watching your kid graduate high school.
Ikr lol
Facts 😂
Facts 😂
Yeah, Quicksilver is THE showstealer. So OP, if only they had the idea to combine both him and Nightcrawler (the other showstealer) into a single scene together. It would’ve pleased so many fans
they kinda did in Dark Poenix
@@fox_trot0214 I wouldn’t go that far. No scenes replicated the grandness of the White House scene from X2 or the Sweet Dreams from Apocalypse
@@diegopansini3152 agreed
@@diegopansini3152 I liked the Magneto breakout scene in Days of Future Past better.
@@trappedinamerica7740 Fair. The point remains
I will always love how perfectly they cast young Xavier.
& magneto
Both Magneto and Xavier are perfect and have brilliant chemistry
It was kinda trippy watching Xavier and Magneto fighting with Easy company in WW2 together. (Band of Brothers)
And the old Xavier!!

@@MsCCarolinee They are the perfect couple! Mutant husbands forever! 😊
In the comics, Apocalypse also had several powers, but the reason he has several powers is because of his original mutation: the ability to manipulate his own body at a subatomic level to do whatever he wants, and when I say whatever he wants I mean LITERALLY whatever he wants; he can turn himself into any material, levitate, control the size and resistance from his members, gigantify, he can even manipulate the structure of his own X-gene to create new powers for himself, like telepathy, telekinesis, teleportation, energy manipulation, force field generation, beyond many other powers that I won't bother to mention
Wait no that can't be right?? If he could have any power he wanted y did he want charles?? He could have just manipulated his genes?? Or is this not true for movies??
@@luckymo_onhe's talking about the comics
Tons of those powers had nothing to do with his original mutation. He happened upon an alien ship with technology that was eons beyond human understanding. I would say more than half of his power comes from that technology the he partially incorporated into himself. He is still powerful without it, but no where near the level.
@@DarthPoyner- specifically he happened on a Celestial ship.
And for the MCU fans unfamiliar with comics yes that's *the* Celestials from the Eternals movie. Except he didn't just stumble across it: the Celestials gifted Apocalypse with their technology as part of their grand plan.
Another one for the MCU fans: Apocalypse began life as a Bedouin nomad in ancient Egyptian times (well, the nomads that became the Bedouins thousands of years later, hence En Sabah Nur being in an ancient dialect of afro-asiatic proto-arabic and not the kushtic language of the Egyptians) and became a slave of none other than Pharoah Rama-Tut (yes, that is the Rama-Tut who is a.younger version of Kang the Comqueror).
@@luckymo_onI meant in the comics
In the movie, his origin story is completely diferent, instead of body manipulation, they made the original power to be transfer of consciousness
The reason he has several powers in the film is because over the years he transferred his own consciousness into the bodies of countless mutants, by doing this he not only lived much longer but also retained the powers of the mutants whose bodies he possessed
Usually quicksilver and Scarlett witch are both the children of magneto, but since the MCU only had limited rights to those two characters, and couldn’t reference X-men or mutants, they just didn’t include that in the MCU
Just like in the comic books, NightCrawler is Mystics' son, and Rogue is her daughter
@@katherineflint2358isn’t rogue her adopted daughter
@@Crocc101
Yes
Man, casting Oscar Isaac as this epic villain was really exciting... until the movie started getting made. He expressed his disappointments about the experience as well. But at least it didn't sour him enough to stay away from jumping onboard Moon Knight years later, cause he's great in that.
He got CBM redemption as both hero (Moon Knight) and villain (Miguel)
I feel a much more fitting actor would've been Dennis Haysbert, who played President David Palmer from 24, as well as ironically, God from Lucifer. With his height and booming voice, I could totally see him as En Saba Nur/Apocalypse.
@BroZilla-vh3tu Isn't part of Moon Knight a villain too? The third personality, Jake Lockley?
I love his performance. I thought it was underrated.. especially the scene with nukes.
@@sebastianemond5313 yes, for like five seconds at the end
I don't know if Peter telling Magneto he's son would have helped. Magneto might have just thought that it was some kind of ploy to make him stop by playing on his emotions from the loss of his wife and daughter by introducing a son. I think what they did was the best thing the could do
Come on, don't be inane. Quicksilver would only have to name his mom and Magneto would understand in a second.
It's always felt to me by the way Erik locks eyes with Pietro, and the context of the conversation, that Magneto knows. Notice we don't see Wanda in any X-MEN movies, even though she's been mentioned, just not by name. Imagine a movie of Scarlet Witch and Dark Phoenix. Laaawwwd!
@@johnfischer_2 RIGHT? What is Marvel smoking? Because I'd like some! They're strongly considering ditching the Kang storyline, anyway, and go to Doctor Doom, which YES, DO THAT. Jonathan Bishop being a piece of shit woman beater may save the Marvelverse.
@@themetalchicahonestly doom needs way more setup for a secret wars movie imo, you need to set up the history between him reed and the entire marvel universe
@@themetalchicafirst of all if your gonna talk shit about somebody get there name right it’s Jonathan Majors and second don’t fucking believe everything! He did beat a woman you fucking idiot he wasn’t even charged with assault! He was charged with negligence!
Want other family connection twist? In the comics, Nightcrawler is Raven's son. They easily could've alluded to that here (she was off on her own after leaving Eric for a LONG time). That would've added something interesting to their dynamic in this movie, but I guess they wanted to just stick with the Eric and Peter thing, but they didn't even give us a payoff.
Also his dad is Azazel from First Class
@@PhantomLantern2814 yep
They would've had to make him a lot younger for that to work and then his role in this movie would've had to have been changed
@@riahw3750 he could've had a similar role as a young teen.
@@riahw3750 Well....its not like the timeline works that well to begin with. They even acknowledge that 10 years had passed for Havok.
Alex: "So now Magneto is gonna kill everybody because of his loss?", wel.... He's Wanda's father after all. Also the way she confronted the SWORD agents on WandaVision was just like how Magneto did in the first X-Men movie; with those cops.
Bro what?
Her origin as chaotic as her powers and her lol it's not constant even in comics
@@vgautamkrishna5197 yes but if Peter Maximoff is Erik's son here, so is Wanda Maximoff.
@@pran1516 it changed multiple times like deadpool's did 😂
@@pran1516 yeah but here it is the conclusion
So, in the comics, Charles and Moira do get together and have a kid. The kid is.... MEGA powerful. They call him a "world breaker". His name was "Legion" because he had multiple personalities, and each one had different powers. There was a TV show based just on him. Weird as hell, because a lot of it is in his head and you see what he sees. Plus, Aubrey Plaza is amazing.
@@irenicvexation - Alex, do the thing!
Like...Franklin Richards level powerful?
Legion wasn't Moira's kid; his mum was Gabrielle Haller.
Moira _did_ have a son, though, Kevin MacTaggart, and he was a ridiculously powerful reality-bender known as Proteus.
@@Brickerbrack
Exactly! Alex needs to watch Legion. I think he would get a kick out of how trippy it is.
Fun fact: this is the first and only time that we ever saw Magneto using his magnetic force field in the films. In most other media, such as X-Men: The Animated Series, its one of Magneto's most famous ability. His force-fields are powerful enough to stop almost anything and he's able to survive in space with it. One of my biggest issues with the films was them never showing Magneto using them until this movie. He hasn't done it before or since then. Would love to see him do it more often in live action one day!
Essex Corp. is a reference to Nathaniel Essex, the supervillain more commonly known as "Mister Sinister". He was initially rumored to be the main antagonist in Logan until director James Mangold confirmed that Mister Sinister would not be appearing in the film. According to Simon Kinberg, the post-credits scene of X-Men: Apocalypse is directly connected to the events of Logan.
That KINDA tracks, the blood sample taken could have been overtly used in the Sinister version (if there ever was that idea in play to begin with) to make the clones we see.
Essex House also was in Deadpool 2, they were the people who tortured Firefist
Mister sinister was gonna be the new big bad villain, the cancelled gambit movie was also gonna be connected to him before the Disney getting the rights from fox to use X men in the MCU
As well as in The New Mutants story.
That scene when Quicksilver saves everyone in the mansion is so bad ass.
Not everyone. 😢
Too bad super fast doesnt work like that
as a polish girl i think i deserve an apology from whoever hired those non polish speaking people and thought "yeah you guys are great". i saw it in theaters, i've never heard an audience laugh this hard when they started talking "polish"
It happens for every language dear 😂
The English speaking world got a small glimpse at how the rest of the world is usually portrayed by Hollywood when they watched Squid game(granted, they could at least speak English, they were just horrible actors with bad English dialogue).
"All your base are belong to us..."
Don't worry. Hollywood can't even get American culture and literature right. That's why they're bankrupt now.
Yeah and like your English speaking roles in the vast great films of your country are perfect. You merely provide the world with bbw women, nothing more.
1. Oscar Isaac is the only actor in every movie marvel universe. He is in the MCU as Moon Knight. He is in the Fox Universe as Apocalypse. He is in the Sony Universe as Spiderman 2099. I think that speaks as to how good of an actor he is that he was sought out in every universe.
2. You posed the question as to who would win in a fight, Avengers or X-Men? It all depends who is on each team. If Wanda is an Avenger, she solos every mutant there is. She did exactly that in the comics in House of M. Her most iconic line, and one of the stories most fans want on screen, is 'No more mutants.' Sis changed reality so that mutants don't exist. People put her up against the Phoenix Force in Jean Grey, but death battle showed already that Scarlet Witch wins that battle.
3. I think I mentioned this in a previous comment, but Magneto is the father of Wanda and Pietro (Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver), and Mystique is the mother of Nightcrawler (in the comics).
4. I do not think that this is the worse X-Men movie. That title goes to Dark Phoenix. I think it would have been great if not for Captain Marvel coming out. In Dark Phoenix, skrulls were going to be the main villain however, because marvel used them in Captain Marvel, it threw off Fox because they couldn't use them now. This caused this to go through production hell and it was horrible.
2. Wanda can be taken out from behind with a rock, she has normal human strength. Anyone who can't take a bullet if a hazard. It all would of course depend on situation but Avengers are far superior in strength. I don't think anyone can even knock out Hulk(in a fair world, well maybe Thanos and similar), or Thor.. Vision is invincible imo, MCU just f**ked with him for story. Oh yea, Professor X, is any Avenger immune to him? Phoenix Jean vs Scarlet? No way Jean could lose, Phoenix is one of the strongest forces in universe and Scarlet Witch barely does know how to use her powers, unless she's learned to use them after the 90's.. but not in my canon. What's that death battle lol, i found it on RUclips, gotta check it, thanks for tip. I'm not counting that shit in thought.. Edit. Okay that show is something totally else.
4. Yea Dark Phoenix is worst and Apocalypse has to take the second worst place. Wolverine's movie isn't very popular but i like it, except the Silver Samurai.
Sick Alex made 100% accurate predictions throughout the movie😂
I just started that can't be accurate haha
its called, he's pulling a cinemasins.
these aren't the FIRST TIME WATCHING.
... this is his youtube persona.
@@daydreamers8254Cry
Proof for that? Or just baseless accusations?@@daydreamers8254
@@daydreamers8254just a baseless comment. Any thing to back that up.... Orrrrr just stating nonsense?
I was honestly surprised at the response to this movie. While I don’t think it was as good as its two predecessors, I didn’t think it was the trainwreck people made it out to be. It was a solid entry in its own right.
I'm surprised to see people like this now as much as they do, it's 5 out of 10 at best and that's only because of one scene. Mind you my scale goes from 1-trainwreck 5-Meh, watchable if nothing else, 10-timeless masterpiece. Guess that's how opinions work.
Honestly the biggest issue is the depiction of one of Marvel's iconic villains in Apocalypse. It just wasn't at ALL what we wanted in seeing apocalypse imagined on screen
@@tphil5901yeah he honestly feels more like Thanos from the cheesy era of comics, but Im a big fan of cheese so I kinda dug it. If I had grown up watching more 90s xmen as a kid Id probably have a different view, but it was always on like 30 minutes after my bedtime growing up so I missed that appeal lmao
@@busdriverguy it's understandable. It's just that for those of us who did enjoy apocalypse either in the comics or through the timeless epic 90s cartoon, this version of Apocalypse just left sooooo much to be desired. Huge let down. I remember coming out of the theatre for this one just massively disappointed with the direction they decided to go with him.
The comparison to Thanos is quite relevant in the sense that this villain should not have been a 1 and done. There's so much weight to the character that just isn't translated on screen. The third act just falls apart and fails the movie as well in my opinion. Archangel also not done justice.
That being said I wouldn't call this film a dumpster fire by any means. Just has flaws. Some quite larger than others.
Apocalypse just needs a proper arc. He's such a massive villain.
@@tphil5901While I'm usually against multi-part movies, perhaps Apocalypse should have carried over into Dark Phoenix. That way there's more of a payoff when Jean unlocks Phoenix to finally bring down En Sabah Nur. And that way maybe Dark Phoenix wouldn't have killed the franchise for the second time, possibly intentionally.
Hammy 90s Apocalypse just would not work here though, any more than hammy 90s Thanos would have.
In the comics Magneto is actually Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver's father
Honestly, I think some of the later x men movies have weaker narratives, but the action sequences are pretty awesome, the Pheonix movie everyone always hates on has a couple of my favorite combat sequences from any of the x men movies… glad to see you’re going in sort of blind and enjoying them!
Pheonix was a good movie if you loved the cartoon & comics. X-men 3 with her dark phoenix was terrible, the new one is much better and even brings in aliens- which were a huge part of the dark phoenix plot and one with Charles after that.
@@Rabidpygmy But it was going to be so much more! Entertainment Weekly had such cool concepts that were scrapped as soon as Captain Marvel was released. All because the producers felt the characters were too similar.
I keep telling anyone who will listen that if they want people to go to an x-men movie and they want it to feel modern while staying true to the comics they should totally do a one-off adventure in space with an already formed x-men, let them crash-land on the brood planet and show them trying to survive, old and new fans would probably love it... Outer space and aliens were a huge part of the x-men in the comics.@@Rabidpygmy
That fight scene on the train is awesome
@@Rabidpygmy everything you said is just wrong on a fundamental level.
I think the reason so many x-men fans like myself didn't like this as much as the others, is because we know and love Apocalypse as one of the great x-men villains and they did a terrible job at representing him. Just like I hated the version of Doomsday in the justice league movie, I hated this version of Apocalypse.
Exactly. I´m 100% with you. Also about Doomsday.
Exactly this. It's not a bad movie in and of itself, but it's taking characters that many of us grew up with and have wanted to see on the big screen for years... and this isn't them.
I personally love this movie, and not just because of Evan Peters. Though a lot is because of him. Wandavision did it right!
I also find this movie alot better than it gets credit for.
I agree.
I second that
Same
I think the people who dislike it feel like Apocalypse was done dirty and felt a little mustache-twirly, not that that isn't the case for most villains in comic book movies
1000% the problem with the film is how Apocalypse was imagined on screen. He was just not done well.
I think calling Magneto a “scumbag” is strong, considering his past is a litany of trauma, suffering and loss.
Let’s be honest, Xavier lived a life of privilege and luxury from day one, it’s easier for him to be a good guy. Yeah, he lost stuff along the way but never to the extent that Eric did.
He still murdered dozens of civilians in cold blood. Making him a scumbag.
He was literally goanna kill billions, no matter how much trauma you have, that makes you a scumbag
Can you imagine when Marvel Comics created the X-Men comics, the characters of Erik (Magneto.) and Charles (Professor X.) had the opposite powers. How different the comics and the movies would be?
@user-fh6mc9du5n pretty different, magneto would just enslave every human
Keep in mind that this was just Jean, NOT not the Phoenix, lol. That's how powerful she is BEFORE she was possessed by a cosmic level entity. So excited that they're going to be bringing the X-Men into the MCU, cuz I don't think I'm the only one that wants to see Phoenix versus the Scarlet witch, lol. Great movie, great reaction Alex, I'm glad you seem to be enjoying the journey. EXCELSIOR!
No that was definitely a fragmen of the Phoenix.
Jean wasn't powerful at all in the comics before the Phoenix and she definitely did not have pyrokenesis. All she had was mind control and telekinesis.
Even still this is just a fragment of a locked away Phoenix and it's full potential

I feel bad for Magneto in this movie. Bro lost his wife and child
The reasons the timelines are so messed up is because originally First Class was a total reboot. Then they decided to try to merge the two series, for some reason, and the continuity just didn't make sense but they just went with it.
It’s a soft reboot, not a total one. The First Class shot by shot recreated the first X-Men’s first scene.
Nightcrawler is by far my favorite mutant. Always loved his powers and look
And his cheerful personality 😁
Shame that they made him such a wimp in movies, because of his OP power they almost had to.
It's Oscar Isaac's world & we're just living in it! Apocalypse, Moon Knight, & Spider-Man 2099! His performance of these characters have been absolutely amazing!!!
Essex Corp = Nathaniel Essex aka Mister Sinister. A villain who usually prefers to act through agents and manipulation, Mr. Sinister is born Nathaniel Essex in Victorian London. A human scientist, Essex is inspired by the work of his contemporary Charles Darwin and becomes obsessed with engineering humanity into a perfect race of superhumans.

I don't know who you mean with Gene, but could you imagine how powerful Sansa would be if Apocalypse improved on her power?
Not possible bc her abilities are WAYY beyond his reach, he couldn’t amp her bc she has his range of abilities but 10x more powerful

I just love all the X-Men Movies, dunno what people don't like about them. You totally reflected myself when I watched it myself for the first time :D
18:35 You're Welcome
If you can enjoy the little things from the X-Men movies
Then you'll be able to enjoy DARK PHOENIX

Peter and Wanda are Magneto's kids. Essex Corp. is run by Mr. Sinister that you'll see in New Mutants MCU film (and Logan).
DUDE the scene with quicksilver is probably the greatest scene in ANY x-men movie
I think it would’ve triggered Eric if quicksilver revealed that in the moment. He had just lost his family, and while it may seem like good news, he was in so much pain that caused him to help apocalypse, he was obviously irrational and wouldn’t have a rational response in that moment to that.
18:41 "Bees?" the music answered the confusion in sync 🤣🤣🤣
He's not controlling time, he's just really, REALLY fast
Also, if you don't know about Luke Cage, he says "Sweet Christmas" as well
22:00 Peter or Pietro is the brother of Wanda Maximoff (The Scarlet Witch) and they are the children of Magneto, which is why this character appears in the Wanda Vision series.
“Bees?”
Gasp…
“YEEEAAAAAAAA!!!”
i think people get way to invested in these movies, i really enjoy them all as standalones. people getting triggered by missing details or perceived plot twists, its entertainment in the end, just enjoy them
Bryan Singer should've left the franchise after DOFP
He gave everything he had to make that movie
So outdoing himself again with this one was a lot harder
Bryan Singer should've left the franchise and also left the hot tub
@@skarmachildagreed
In comics both quicksilver & wanda's father is magneto.
The post credit scene where you saw Essex Corp is directly connected to the movie Logan that you already watched. I think it was a blood sample of Wolverine/Logan or any other mutants since Essex corp is an organization that collects genetic materials of mutants, hence the blood sample. Essex corp was also shown in Deadpool 2.
Quicksilver doesn't slow down time, he just moves that fast it goes slow for him, to everybody else it's super fast. Nightcrawler is blue, his father is red....his mother is mystique.
I remember watching The Last Stand on TV when I was six.
Watching Apocalypse gave me that same feeling, seeing ALOT of characters from the cartoons.
Hey! No way! On 'God's Green Earth!' that Angel can beat the 'Human Blob'!!!!!!!!!
Apocalypse in this movie was disappointing to X-Men comics fans who knew the villain. In the comics he's much larger. In the X-Men cartoon he has a hell of a deep, gravely voice. It's awesome! But Oscar Isaac was too short and they made his voice to smooth or soothing.
The end credits scene with the Essex Corp reveal on the briefcase was alluding to another great X-Men villain named Mr Sinister. Whose real name is Nathanial Essex. They never got around to getting him in any of the Sony X-Men movies, though. At one time, John Hamm was rumored to have been cast. There are technically two versions of Mr Sinister. When he debuted back in the 80's he was an caniving, scheming mad geneticist whose goal was to guide mutantkind to the pinnacle of their evolution through breeding and experimentation. A bit different from Apocalypse' goal of 'Survival of the Fittest' but similar. They even revealed in Sinister's backstory that Apocalypse gave Sinister his power back in the 1800's.
In the newer version of Sinister, he's more of a comical sort who has schemes and mechanizations going on. I don't like the newer version much.
I'll be interested to see how the MCU does him.
I love that Angel was listening to the song “The 4 Horsemen” as apocalypse is gathering the 4 horsemen
As someone from Poland I laughed so hard during every magneto scene at the begining of the movie. Polish accents in this movie are really bad, and yes our "Magneto" sounds a little bit dumb 😅
12:21 I laughed so hard at the random yet epic song. Mystic. Beast. Night Crawler. Apocalypse. All blue. The irony of it. Quicksilver was beyond awesome and he should have told Erik that he was his son. The one massive mistake they never should have done in the X-Men movies. As for Erik/Magneto, he deserved better. He did the right thing in saving that man’s life. Instead he is turned in and his family dies all the same. Erik spent some years doing what Charles would have wanted for him. He lost his mother, wife and daughter.
Bro I had to go into hospital last night for surgery and your last xmen videos kept me so entertained. Looks like I’ve got to stay overnight again so I’m so happy to have this one to watch now too 👊
I wish a speedy recovery to you.
Try to enjoy the ride.
So fun fact.
Scarlet witch and quicksilver are the children of magneto.
Also nightcrawler is mystiques child. She also adopted rogue but rogue hadn't known it was mystique. Just a normal southern mother. Mystique used that to talk rogue into being a villain for a moment, before meeting the xmen
I never did understand how a piece of cloth or even really thin eyelids stopped cyclops from beaming everything. My favorite was Gambit. I loved him in the 92-94 series
His eyelids stopped the energy because they were part of his mutation. The same way havoc's energy didn't burn his skin as it exited his body or Peter's super speed doesn't kill him with the friction build up. The cloth coverings kept pads in place that prevented his eyelids from opening on their own so he didn't have to continually think about keeping them closed. Edit: If his eye lids didn't stop them he wouldn't have survived his powers through either just pure exhaustion from lack of sleep or the destruction of everything he interacted with since his eyes continually discharged the beams.
Also keep in mind those beams are concussive not hot at all. That was explained in the comics and 90s animated show
btw, according to the creator, Quicksilver run speed is only 175mph(ofc other "authors" have later buffed him), no where near anything his DC counterpart The Flash can do, but here is it running back and forth, empty a house during an explosion. C4 is what badguys always use in movies, C4 explode at 26,400 feet per second or 18 000mph(~29 000kmh). Quicksilver is making 18 000mph here stand still, to him it is like what 5 minutes? So is he moving 7 920 000 fps(5 400 000mph) or faster? As the explosion was barely moving
🤣
I think it's pretty underrated. People were disappointed and I think a lot of that is because of how good Days of Future Past was.
But this was still super enjoyable. Quicksilver was great as always, as was Magneto.
Growing up my favorite X-Men were Rogue and Gambit. I hated how Gambit wasn’t included in the original movies.
My eldest had just become a toddler when this movie came out. I’m not an emotional man, but when Magnetos wife and daughter died? I’m not going to lie, I got a little teary. Him murderizing those bastards was pure catharsis.
Edited for leaking stupid all over the list. Cleaned it up. Also, not that it really bothered me, but I appreciate the whole “I probably shouldn’t call him Jesus” bit. Thanks, that’s pretty based.
Edited again to add: lol, aaaand “Blue Jesus” is back. Really biting off the original now .
What’s funny is that the end battle for this movie was set in Cairo, just like Moon Knight. And Oscar Isaac played Apocalypse, as well as Moon Knight
That phoenix scene gives me goosebumps ever. Single. Time.
It wasn’t a Phoenix it was a psychic blast 😂
15:47 If Hef is this excited to see Quicksilver, he's gonna go full banana-cream sandwich here in a few minutes.😂 18:53 Yup. 🤣
Another fun reaction, thank you for doing this despite you not feeling well. Hope you get better soon!
For anyone that likes what they have done with the X-men movies I would also recommend the cartoon.
Yeah. Logan in this timeline didn't volunteer for Weapon X. In fact, his feral behavior was a result of numerous drugs given and the attempt to erase his memory.
I love this movie! Everyone always gives it a bad rap so im glad you enjoyed it as well:)
The whole movie is the origin story of how Charles lost his hair 😂
I'm always blown away how easily it is for you to erase your entire memory Alex
“Always the same, and now all this. No more stones. No more spears. No more slings. No more swords. No more weapons! No more systems! No more superpowers. . . . You can fire your arrows from the Tower of Babel, but you can never strike God!"
that is such a fucking badass quote
i love quicksilver! i wish aaron taylor johnson (mcu quicksilver) hadn't denied a contract and kept going. he only wanted to do 1 movie but lets hope they get him back for secret wars (2029+)
The easy thing to remember about this timeline is that the original films don't really matter because they were retconned with Days of Future Past. But First Class took place in the 60's, Days of Future Past the 70's, this is in the 80's and Dark Phoenix will be in the 90's. However the funniest part is that the original X-Men movie took place in 2000...so between now and then, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender have to age enough to become Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen...when 30+ years passes between these movies and they barely age at all. These were the kinds of things Fox got criticized for.
The X-Men wins over Avengers. Easy.
Nah, sorry, nothing beats "Avengers assemble" gives me goosebumps every time. X men are dope, but Avengers are so iconic
Alex just casually foreseeing every step of Apocalypse's plan was genuinely great
I really like this movie. I LOVE the scene where Jean becomes the phoenix
Now I realized! Mystique is Nightcrawler's mother/father. How are they together looking like they're the same age?
Keep the reactions comin mane. You should do horror movies for October. Then Christmas movies in December
In the comics Nightcrawler is Mystics son. Mystic didn't grow up with Xavier and she's also 100's of years old.
Love the xmen reactions
Disney bought Fox before Essex Corp could pay off. Essex Corp is mentioned three times in the Fox canon: Here, New Mutants, Deadpool 2.
In the comics, Nathaniel Essex was a Victorian era scientist who was a geneticist ahead of his time. He believed that genetic manipulation was the key to survival of the fittest. He experimented on himself and became immortal along with other abilities. He took the name Mr Sinister, has often worked with Apocalypse, and taken special interest in several X-men over the years, including Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Cable.
Such as shame that we are still not able to see any live action Mr Sinister yet.
Glad you enjoyed this! Lots of thoughts on this one tho!😅
This was definitely one of the worst X Men movies for sure. It destroys a lot of the timeline, its really inaccurate to the comics/characters, and its very forgettable. They also reuse a lot of the same mutants over and over again when there's tons more that they don't use. And while its not necessarily a bad thing for some, the issue is that many of the ones they do use over and over again they don't get right. Cyclops and Storm are just a couple that are pretty lackluster compared to how they are in the comics. And in my opinion they've used Mystique way too much in these movies.
21:30 Yep! Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch are Magneto's kids. Crazy huh?😁I think they might've retconned that tho in the comics recently and they're adopted or something. Not sure what the point of that was tho so I still consider them his biological children.
13:51 There was a comic on this but I don't remember if there was a winner or not. So its hard to say. Many of the X Men are on the Avengers team, and not all mutants are X Men. There's characters on both sides who aren't in the movies that are stupid powerful too. If we're going with core members for the most part then its hard to say but I'm gonna lean Avengers. Its a tough call and I wouldn't be mad at anyone who picks the X Men cause there's a lot of powerful mutants. But Thor, Hulk, and Scarlet Witch (well Scarlett Witch is a mutant but she's not really an X Men like that either) are each powerful enough to solo the X Men team and have a chance at winning. Hulk has already done it in the comics. It's hard to beat someone after all who could literally blow up the planet at any moment if you piss him off too much. If we're specifically talking about the movies then its still hard to say. The Avengers have a lot more people on their side, and they have a lot more tech and powers. They also have the smarter characters on their side. The only threat to them would be any telepaths or speedsters. But I think the sheer amount of numbers would give them the win. Plus they got Scarlett Witch and Dr Strange to stop them.
0:55 It jumps around in timelines true but honestly thats not what really makes them so jacked up.😂Its the fact that when you look at many of the last X Men movies that came out, they actually mess up the timeline to the point where it either contradicts certain events or it leaves plotholes. It would be different if they jumped around in the timeline but didn't mess with already established events, but they didn't do that. As good as Days of Future Past was, I'm not even sure if the events of the previous x men movies are still canon after that one. In fact I'm sure it did change events cause Angel, the mutant with the wings, is in this movie and this takes place in the early 80s. He looks like he's already nearly an adult if not already which doesn't line up with the Angel that appeared in X Men 3. Wolverine also shows up here and he meets Jean and Cyclops which never happened. They already show what happened in X Men Origins Wolverine. And Mystique is a X Men now after this movie, which never happened either, and is a lil weird. Thats part of the reason why I feel they used her too much in the movies.
Spiderman ALONE took out the x-men, he even flicked wolverine into a wall, knocking him out with a longfinger "boop" snap to the forehead, ofc professor X wiped his memory so Spiderman forgot what he had seen, and also that he spanked them all lol
That’s literally because the writers for Spider-Man have a job to keep him interesting. No one wants to read a book where he gets his ass kicked by the X-Men. He loses to Magneto, Jean, Storm, Cyclops, Iceman, Wolverine, etc any day.
Remember X-Men Origins: Wolverine. That was a recreation of Wolverine escaping the Weapon X facility.
glad you're better and glad you're back, Alex. Thanks for the reaction. I'm waiting for the Avengers vs the X-Men
A bit late but Essex corp is from Nathaniel Essex, who lived during Darwin era in 1800's and and eexperimented on himself to become mutant, better known as Mr. Sinister.
I just want to say I really appreciate Alex acknowledging that some people could fine the blue jesus comment disrespectful. I'm a Christian and it's very common to hear stuff like that so it really means a lot :)
love u...... found you today.... watched 4 videos already. sorry for bad english. greets from north germany
This is the most "80's X-Men comics" X-Men movie Fox made.
People who didn't read the comics back then don't realize just how BONKERS those stories were, in the best way.
This film is far from perfect, but it came the closest to capturing that feeling, IMO, so I have a soft spot for it.
"Why are they shooting the missle straight up?".....how did he completely miss Apocalypse speech when he was yelling "no more weapons"?
12:23 a fun fact about this in the original continuity and I think that this is what this version is going on asraziel and mystique are the parents of nightcrawler and that's probably why mystique went to go save him.
The song playing where Apocalypse recruits Angel is Metallica's "The Four Horseman". Which is perfect since they're the four horseman of Apocalypse.
Idk if it's just because of the metalhead in me, but that was my favorite scene in that movie.
@@jackbrocato1049 I grew up with trash metal and i love Metallica, but i find it a bit cringe when i hear it in movies. It was nice in the trailer, but in this movie and in Old School, ugh.
Went from “oh no!!” To “oh woah!!” Real quick 🤣
For what the movie is it's entertaining but for anybody who read the comics, saw X-Men the animated series or even X-Men Evolution, it's just so flawed. Most of all where is the real thieving, gumbo cooking, cards throwing, cajun-french and english speaking red eyed anti-hero who provided the best romantic comedy story with his untouchable love interest Rogue.
7:53 It entirely depends on which version for me tbh, i.e.:
- Fox films = Storm (older), Iceman & Mystique (younger)
- X-Men: Evolution = Jean & Scott
- Wolverine & the X-Men = Nightcrawler
- X-Men '97 = Jean + Gambit
in the comics, Magneto is quicksilver's and The Scarlet Witch's father.
"Sweet Christmas?!" Somebody has been watching Luke Cage ....?!
18:38 this scene is cool and all but it would’ve been better if the scene was about the bee
16:55 This scene is so creepy lol. It reminds me of Molly Walker being afraid of Arthur Petrelli in Heroes tbh
Remember quicksilver in Age of Ultron? Well...this is the fox version of him. Wanda and him are siblings, which is also this version of Peter who turned up in Wandavision.
I still can’t believe Oscar Issac is Apocalypse and then went on to play Moon Knight.
