Nightcrawler's opening scene was one of the best experiences I ever had in a theater!
I remember watching this the night of release with a theater full of fans….that scene and Wolverine’s kitchen scene during the home invasion drew so much applause. Unforgettable.
If/when the X-Men ever make their way into the MCU I hope they make Nightcrawler a more featured character than he's been in these movies.
@@zkeletonz001 Agreed. They played him for humor and some pathos but he’s got such cool powers and an interesting backstory.
Nightcrawler is probably my second fave mutant. I loved that scene so much.
Watching the cartoons as a kid I really loved Nightcrawler so when that scene happened I was so excited. I was 11 when I saw it in theaters and was amazed
Something that doesn't get talked about enough in this film is the talk between Magneto and Pyro on the plane. How Magneto pulls the lighter from Pyro and then tells him about manipulation of others and then HANDS the lighter back to him in a subtle way to show Pyro he doesn't want to control him. Great character moment!!!
I love that scene. I love the line "What's your real name, John" and "You are a god among insects. Never let anyone tell you different"
There is a RUclipsr who made a video on that scene. Don't recall the name but it's on a playlist called "one eXcellent scene" of different RUclipsrs picking their favorite scene from the X-Men movies.
@@LiorTamirthats a hard playlist i just checked it out
@@AnimalAlmighty Ur a real one
My sister was born with Muscular dystrophy so severe that she was in a wheelchair from when she was 2 years old and throughout her whole life. When we were younger her nickname was Wheels so I get reminded of her every time Jen calls Professor X Wheels, who was also one of her favorite X-Men. Watching these movies with you guys brings up a lot of good memories so keep up the good work. Bless you and all your friends and family.
The Green Goblin cut took me so off guard,i actually contemplated if that was actually in the movie😂😂
Love how Holden knows what's gonna happen and he's just side-glancing Jen everytime something's up to see her reaction 😂❤️
I do that with my gf.
Totally me if I watched this with my gf… if I had one… 😐
You saw the video too???
Death, taxes, and Jen saying “Holden Thomas Hardman” after a sexual innuendo… the assurances of life.
I’m kind of disappointed his middle name isn’t Herbert or something so he could be Triple H.
The zoom in while Jen is talking about Jean Grey was hilarious I lost it 😂
same😂
That was the most logical edit😂
;)
Brian Cox as Stryker was always so believable that dude really dove into the role and it friggen shows.
He's a great actor, I've never seen him have a bad performance.
He does that with every performance I’ve seen him give, he really invests himself in the character he plays and it really shows in this movie
EDIT: I'm thinking of Albert Finney not Brian Cox.
That man (as the dad) gave me emotional trauma in BIG FISH. Few fictional characters have filled me with such grief, and a great deal of it has to do with Cox's performance.
@@AngeloBarovierSD You're thinking of Albert Finney. Brian Cox was never in Big Fish.
@@windowsVD Ugh. I totally am! Thank you for the correction. I got my curmudgeons mixed up.
The 'female wolverine' is Lady Deathstrike. In the comics she's a cyborg with a mad hate-boner for Wolverine. She also has super long extremely sharp talons instead of fingers. Hence the nails.
Her dad was one of the people who invented the metal-bone bonding process for Weapon X; Wolverine killed him, and Deathstrike swore to kill Wolverine.
It all links back to Silver Samurai
Hope Jen sees this comments since it's pretty much what I wanted to comment.
In a nutshell why these movies, while really good, failed to achieve their full potential. Every side character is ground down to a shadow of their comic book version just to fit the limited plot requirements of the film they are in.
Yeah, her 'cyber-nails' were not like Wolverine's claws they were some sort of organic techno future tech.
Jen is on point. Even the good X-men movies have a habit of using a lot of characters that are nothing more than cameos. Heroes and villains that are fully fleshed out characters in the comics end up as mute henchmen without personalities.
Unfortunate relic of the times. There would have been no intention of ever getting around to anything close to Lady Deathstrike's story in the movies, so why not use a pre-existing character from the comics as a one off henchman?
Wow
That original *90's X-Men theme* takes me back...
It's so good!
Bobby’s “coming out” scene is amazing. Out of all the Marvel comics and movies, I like how the X-Men tackles real life issues like racism and homophobia.
Lady Deathstrike's claws aren't her fingernails. If I remember correctly, they come from her fingertips. In the comics, I don't even think she has retractable claws. Her fingers are just really long, claws.
Her death always made me feel morose, she had no control over her actions and probably wasn't fully aware until the end.
Ok thank god someone said it.
Yes in the comics she has long claw like fingers
If I remember correctly, they are also made of adamantium
How does she use the toilet? Or scratch her nose? Xd
@@SamuelSaveli she’s more machine than woman.
@Adam Clary funny part is that if they used the comics story, she would willingly work with Stryker to go after Logan. And she’s not even a mutant so it works out for Stryker. All it took in that scene before their fight was for Stryker to say “But unfortunately, during your escape, you killed her father.” Then he walks out.
Nightcrawler in the White House is still arguably the best scene in the X-MEN franchise.
The long zoom in on Holden, while she was venting about Jean’s death, had me dying 🤣🤣💀
“Oh my God how twisted!….I love it.” 😂
Love seeing the way Jen’s brain works watching these movies
My two favorite "little moments" of this film have always been when Lady Deathstrike's head clunks on the bottom of the vat after being injected with the adamantium, and when Magneto and Mystique are talking to each other laughing then he says to Rogue, "We love what you've done with your hair."
This movie was the first to perfectly blend an origin story into a team up movie. Very few before or after have been able to accomplish that as well as X2.
First _superhero_ movie, I guess.
SEVEN SAMURAI (and MAGNIFICENT SEVEN) perfectly blended team-up and origin stories, in my opinion.
I always thought this was the weakest X:Men movie
Who is this an origin story for??
@@ConnorCoultrup I presume he means "Logan, Adamantium Edition."
@@Ahov yea didn’t like it didn’t feel X-men like at all way too much Wolverine again. Somehow all the leaders of the X-men take a backseat every time.
Bro, that zoom in was SO FREAKING GOOD.
Reasons to keep you on my bell notifications, buddy... Have a great year!
Love Ur channel thanks for helping me feel less lonely and giving me the joy of reliving the excitement of these film through Ur reactions 😌🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Knowing that Jen hasn't seen the Fantastic Four yet, I wonder what her prediction would be to have the X-men and the MCU forced together and the interactions and conflicts would be and who would be dominant in the world.
From what I understand, the scene where Bobby outs himself as a mutant to his parents had a lot of input given by Sir Ian McKellen himself and as very much intentionally treated like a kid coming out to their parents.
The green goblin and Darth Vader edit, brilliant 😂😂😂
Oh, I hate those inserted videos. Thanks for reminding me to point that out. They are so childish. I could do without them.
right?? :D it was so unexpected i laughed so hard :D
@@brianng8350 stop crying
@@adangarcia3512 I am only crying because of the education that gave birth to our intelligence... or lack of... Your commnet is not smart, insulting or funny. It's just childish, which just proves my point. Childish/stupid edits attract childish/stupid comments. Thank you for proving my point.
@@brianng8350 by your comment I can see you don't get invited to places 😂😂😂
To this day, this is the only movie I’ve ever watched back to back viewings in the theater. Saw it the Friday it came out, went home and my cousin was about to go see it and I went back with him.
Opening day, saw it with my cousin around 3, then we saw it with some friends the showing right after.
Jen, I ask that you please continue calling Professor X, "Wheels". Brings a smile every time!
Holden, I swear these edits are comedy gold 😂green goblin jumpscare, Darth Vader hallway scene cmonnnnnnnnn now 🙏
The music during the White House scene is Mozart's 'Requiem' the very last thing he wrote before (and about) his death.
I spit my beer out when the goosebumps dog was thrown in there. 😂
X2 is my favorite of the first X-Men trilogy. Good stuff. Really curious how Jen is going to respond to X3.
I think it is best of all of them, not just the original trilogy. I know people like First Class or maybe Days of Future Past. But X2 is still the best for me. The Nightcrawler scene is better than Quicksilver scene considering it was done so long before the newer X-Men movies.
Loved nightcrawler since I was a kid. Wish he had more screen time across the X-Men movies.
Fun fact: my dad went to high school with the security guy that shoots Nightcrawler’s arm in the White House. As a guy who loves filmmaking, I always found that really cool. :)
Holden's face at the end when, Jen is talking about Jean....PRICELESS!!!! Have a safe and Happy New Year, Holden & Jen!
I can see why Deathstrike's nails seem like an unnecessary gender-specific thing but I really think it's just a design necessity to switch it up. If she just had three claws come put of her hands like Logan, then she's even more of a carbon copy and less of an individual and less threatening
She did get her cybernetic conversion (in the comics) in Spiral's Body Shoppe.
Exactly. And it's important to note that she wasn't designed that way for the film, and that it's actually a comic-accurate representation. I only wish she had more time in the movie, cuz she's a really dope antagonist, especially to Wolverine. Still waiting on a good Sabretooth. :(
Lady Deathstrikes claws aren't elongated nails, they dont come out of her nails either. Her claws come out of her fingertips.
Out of all the Xmen films, this one is the best.
I loved the question Jen had where she wondered why Storm couldn’t make the weather better…. and my answer is because her name is “STORM” not “SUNSHINE” 🤪😎
Always cool seeing Remy LeBeau's name on the computer. Nothing against Taylor Kitsch, but hope we get a badass live action Gambit one day.
I remember me and my friends recognized almost all the names on that list.
"BlueBerry Girl....." that made me laugh way harder than it should have.
"Oh my god, how twisted"
Also Jen: I love it 😂
The number of times Jen has said ‘Holden Thomas Hardman’, it is engrained in my head....
I have to say, those intros keep getting better and better!
Thanks Bruce!
Well the female version of Wolverine is X-23 (Laura Kenny). I know she’s a clone of him but thats who she is. I think Jenn will enjoy Logan I hope Holden tells her that she’s actually a teenager & not a child
This wasn’t Laura tho…it’s lady deathstrike
In the comic Nightcrawler is Mystiques son
Everytime I see Cyclops now: "It's the guy from sonic!"
That goosebumps reference killed me 😂
Oh my God, that Step Brothers cut in killed me. So funny.
I was really excited to see you watch X2. One of my favorite marvel movies and very reminiscent of Spider-Man 2 in terms of the second movie being better. If you plan to watch the First Class X-Men movies I can’t wait for you to watch Days of Future Past. Love the channel. Always a highlight for me. Happy New Year you two!!
I've got to say, this was one of the best depictions of Nightcrawler's power, on screen, including in cartoons. This was exactly how someone with the ability to teleport, coupled with his acrobatic ability, would fight.
I remember when the trailer came out for this and the movie released it was really exciting for people. Wolverines using his claws to kill people and the viscous fight he had with the mercenaries. Everyone was excited and it was what felt like X-men.
Did anyone love the fact Jenn called Xavier " wheels " 🤣🤣🤣🤣 loved it. Jenn is the best
The duplicate was a VERY different version of Lady Deathstrike. She's a cyborg made of adamantium with adamantium claws, but here, they don't come out of her nails, they come from her finger tips.
About 13 years later, Bobby was revealed to be gay in the comics... It wasn't great how they did it though.
Now we go to the third film, where we cycles from bad person Bryan Singer, to Brett Ratner awfulness...
I came to write this.
lol, they only did that to be political correct or you saying he viagra all those women before? haha, naa, they took an omega level mutant, a famous mutant and made him that because of pride and all that political nonsense
@@formydyingeyes just a PC move, I doubt the creator said he was this, but someone who is PC police decided to do this
Bobby's gay in the way Superboy, Batwoman and Colossus came out as gay. Some writers with an agenda got the reins and were too lazy to create a new interesting character.
@@DrD0000M This. It wasn't a reveal, it was a retcon... and a clumsy one, at that.
The first X-Men movie was I think too hesitant, because they didn't know what direction to go in, so many options. This is when they hit their stride. Shout out to the Kurt shirt!
"I hope you werent too attached to..." and Jens reaction every time is my favourite recurring gag on this channel 😂
Magneto was by far the best part of this movie. Every time he did anything, it ruled so hard.
Holden has had his humor shine lately especially with the seduction lines with wolverines claws and Jean (mystique) 😎🤣😂
Holden Thomas Hardman!!
This is my favorite movie out of the X-men trilogy. Love the vid!
Magneto’s escape is one of my favorite scenes of all time!
That little clip of the hallway scene made me want to watch Rogue One again.
MUST do a montage of Jen saying “Holden Thomas Hardman!” Lol
Really proud of Jen remembering characters' names: Mystique, Pyro, Bobby, Rogue.
The “Female Wolverine” character is from the comic books and so are her nails which were comic book accurate. Lady Deathstrike.
For the longest time this was my favourite super hero movie ever.
I've come to be fond of it as a series of isolated awesome set pieces just queued up one after the after.
When they edited in the “Hey y’all don’t say that!” From Step Brothers, I laughed real hard. Holden is a funny dude.
X2 is one of the best superhero films ever made! The action, drama, even a few horror elements are just perfect!
I agree and disagree with Holden. I have watched it many times and it is still enjoyable. For me, this is the best Sony X-Men movie similar to how The Winter Soldier is the best MCU movie. I agree with Jen, this is easily a 9 -not perfect, but very close.
@@brianng8350 This isn’t a Sony movie
@@superheroedits1315 he has been outfoxed.
@@brianng8350 I mean I like Winter Solider but it’s extremely overrated when I first watched it. Maybe it was hyped up far too much for me but yeah if I I went into it expecting a masterpiece but came away like “It was great but I still prefer Guardians of the Galaxy, Iron Man, Thor 3, and Iron Man. Favourite X-Men movie is between Days of Future Past and First Class just adore the setting just wish they pulled off the sequels better.
Best marvel movie
Let's pause for a second to think about Jean's power demonstration at the end - she was lifting up the X-Jet with her telekinesis which is HEAVY AF, and controlling all of its buttons and getting it ready to fly, and stopping a huge amount of water from just washing them away, AND preventing Kurt from using his teleportation powers, ANDDD she took over Charles' mind for a moment so she could communicate with Scott to say goodbye (even Charles was shocked by this when you see his reaction after the connection is broken), she's so OP!!
Storm is criminally underused and nerfed in the X-Men movies. She's an omega level mutant, one of the most powerful X-Men and she so often takes a back seat to other mutants less powerful than her. I really hope MARVEL does her character justice when they introduce her in the MCU.
Not only her, but Bobby, Kitty, Remy and Colossus. All of them need more representation in the MCU when they finally come.
@@heitt9671 The Deadpool films at least got Piotr right. I hated that he was just an American guy in the old films. The man's Russian. Let him be Russian, damn it.
Hard agree. I love Storm, but hate how wasted she was. At least the reboots gave us mohawk Storm. Lol. Love that look.
@@War624 Yeah, but i hope that in the MCU he's not just a complete CGI toy
What Marvel character ISN'T nerfed in their movies? Also, what makes you think the MCU will make her more powerful when they always nerf their own characters?
I love the dog from the “Are you afraid of the dark” intro 😂
@Mosh Tren That was Goosebumps not Are You Afraid of the Dark…
@@mariamartenson5366 my bad… I mix those two shows all the time haha
There is an underrated series no one probably never gonna recommend to you
Banshee
And it's a shame no one talks about this show because imo is one of the best Tv-Series ever made
toni staar does a fantastic job in that tv show
Mannnnnnnn, this movie was AMAZING first few times I saw it. This was the first time they really got Wolverine right. When he pins the dude to the fridge and screams I just felt like they got it. Still one of my favorite superhero movies. Keep up the good work guys!
3:14 The absolute last thing I’d expect Holden to ever reference is spy kids lmao
Lmao the goblin cameo edit thru me off for a second
Crowd went super crazy for Collosus debut and for Pyro going super mayhem in cinema
You’re really bringing the nostalgia with that old X-men theme.
This one is the best out of the original 3 for me. That nightcrawler scene is so good!
X-2, Days of Future Past, and Logan are my favorites of the X-men
8:43...I remember watching that in the theatre here in Davenport, Iowa. Logan grabs that guy and pins him to the fridge, the whole crowd gasps, then this guy like two rows behind me screams:
"YEAH, BADASS! YEAH!"
The female Wolverine is actually Lady Deathstrike and in the comics her claws don't retract. So claw fingers all the time. This is the best of the original trilogy in my opinion.
Loving the Step Brothers reference there, made me chuckle!
The "HOLDEN THOMAS HARDMAN" makes my day everytime.
Lady Deathstrike was verrrrryyyyyy different in the comics and actually knew Wolverine very well. But when comic books get turned into movies, things get changed or shortened or warped so I just let things go sometimes lol
Petition for the Patreons to make Jen react to the 90’s Animated Series of the X-Men, which is known to be the best version of the X-Men as a whole.
Best version till date
@@kratos71 Yep. My older sister (who’s an X-Men fangirl) agrees with that. I hope that there are Patreons that would support this idea.
That and the humor of wolverine almost cursing every episode
Props for the magic shell joke around @16:58
It made my day to see the Goosebumps tie-in into the "Sen. Kelly" eye glow lol
Fun comic facts:
1. This movie was in response to the previous when fans were like "it's not really like the comics that much". So this movie is based off of a graphic novel called God Loves, Man Kills, mixed with the lore they'd already put down.
2. Lady Deathstrike (female Wolverine) looks nothing like that in the comics. She's also not a mutant in the comics, but is in fact a leader of a cyborg mercenary group, who have altered their bodies with alien technology. She, in particular, has 4 foot long robot arms that end in razor sharp claws, hence the nails (its not just 'cos girl').
3. Nightcrawler is Mystique's birth son in the comics (his father is a demon named Azazel... Wait whaaaaa?!) and Rogue is her adopted daughter (who gets her permanent powers of flight and super strength from holding on to Ms Marvel/Carol Danvers for too long in the comics)
4. The metal man is Colossus, and his sister (in the comics) is Magick, Anya Taylor Joy's character in the not so great final Foxiverse movie, The New Mutants.
5. The girl who phases through the bed is Kitty Pryde, the actress being replaced by Eliott Page in later instalments. She gets a brief mention in the first movie as a 'girl who could walk into a bank vault'.
6. The pilot for the 90s X-men cartoon was called Pryde of the X-men, and was made in the late 80s. Due to a sudden shift in aesthetics, fashion, and music, the pilot was scrapped and remade just as X-men, with Jubilee replacing Kitty Pryde as main expositional audience stand-in character (mainly because she had a 90s aesthetic in both fashion and powers, and is essentially a walking highlighter. This is also why Dazzler was taken out as there powers were too similar, and Rogue was put in as she had a similar personality to Dazzler). The pilot episode can still be found on RUclips. Some scenes from the show were cut together to make the opening for the 90s cartoon.....
..... And Wolverine has the best accent ever in it
So Lady Deathstrike's death is really tragic because just as Logan stabbed her with the fluid, the mind control started to wear off seconds after. You can see her eyes returning to normal basically. Had Logan endured for a few more seconds she would have returned back to normal. Sad really. Its why Logan's got that sad expression on his face as he himself realizes this. Like I said...Tragic.
Bro the pictures when talking about only half being subscribed 😂 😂
The Logan is an art professor joke was later "realised" in the comics he was professor of "The art of fighting without fighting" and also "The art of fighting with fighting"
Director's Cut - Green Goblin appearance! Don't recall Rogue exploding the Blackbird...but it has been awhile ;-) Excellent work as always!
holden just staring into our souls and the zoom in is just gold lol
Adding that green goblin scene in was genius lol
Edit: Almost spit out my coffee with the Step Brothers clip
When I first read Magneto in the 70s, he didn't need extra iron injected into you. There's plenty of metal in the human body already. Iron is what makes your blood red, and Calcium is a metal. In the comics, he would lift and toss people and Avengers all the time by their blood.
Calcium is not metal
@@kratos71 Calcium is indeed an alkaline earth metal, just like sodium and potassium. Not all metals look alike, and they all don't clang and shine
just consider it an example of what happened when Magneto pulled the Adamantium from Wolverine's skeleton in the 90's. It also was pulled out through the man's pores.
@@Sentinel3D Yeah, but here he also needed enough to use like he did, and I doubt he could create those 3 balls with the natural quantity of iron in a man (so no calcium or other "fragile" metals, just classic iron)
@@leonardolonghi3472 a 250 pound man has about 5 pounds of metal in him. If you think calcium is weak, even cushioned with flesh, a fist hurts. And pure calcium, like sodium, is dangerous.
People would also track meteorite dust all the time. Magneto could silently collect it.
Wheels kills me every time. Never change Jen 🤣🤣🤣
Love these Holden, it’s like I’m watching a movie with friends I love it 😁
23:20 This feels like a non-issue. How many different variations of hand metal claws can you do before getting to nails? Logan has three from in between the knuckles, X-23 has two, they tried a single long blade with Wade Wilson in Origins, which is close to Honey Badger from the comics. Hear Lady Deathstrike has it out of her nails.... why's that a hurdle?
Black Panther did this exact thing with shorter nails 15 years later.
So I've been watching your videos for about 3 weeks now. You and Jen are my favorite reactors to watch. Even though I'm a huge gamer. Ps5, series x and switch oled. I've spent more hours this month watching you two. Love you guys lol
If I can recommend future movie reactions. I would recommend the cornetto trilogy. The broken lizard movies. And maybe the movie fury. Assuming you both haven't seen them lol
Anyways! This is my favorite subscribed channel lol keep up the great work!
That goosebumps edit was genius
I stumbled across your X-men videos and I love you guys! These movies were always my favorite some of them are a little weird but still good overall
That green goblin part u put in really threw me off. 😂 I thought that was in the movie for a sec.
Lol that slow zoom when Jen talks about Jean's death.
Love how Charles says this is not a threat while they literally look threatening as hell and even Logan says “We’ll be watching” while thunder and lightning happens in the background.
"Too much iron in your blood" such a cheesy line but it is always my favorite from all the movies 🤣
Proof that Ian McKellen can day anything and it'll be amazing
