You're on a GOAT journey guys...I started collecting X-Men comics when they came out 40-50 yrs ago... this particular movie is pretty good but the CGI at the time couldn't compete w what the mutants could actually do....the Spiderman movies n whatnot CGI finally started catching up..I can keep going but ur better off just watching....I'm guessing you'll enjoy them🔥🤘🔥good work y'all✌️
Stan Lee inspiration for professor x and magneto was Martin Luther King and Malcom X , they have the same goals just different methods of achieving those goals
Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen, two greats of the stage and the silver screen. They had known each other since their youth, when they were working for The Royal Shakespeare Company. This is the first time they acted together onscreen, and they have been good friends ever since.
The thing about Scott/Cyclops is that force beams from his eyes are being constantly generated, he can't shut off his power. So whenever his eyes are open, he'd be blasting whatever he's looking at. However there is a special substance (ruby quartz) that neutrailizes his optic beams. That's why he wears a visor or special glasses at all times.
I grew up reading Marvel comics and I love how they could give someone a power so strong but have a drawback, a flaw, that made them afraid of themselves and their own superpowers.
Sometimes Wolverine will smell danger before Spider-Man's spidey sense tells him there's danger. In theory, Daredevil, Wolverine and Spider-Man being on the same team would guarantee nobody could sneak up on you.
In the comics Rogue has an additional power set: she held on to Captain Marvel / Carol Danvers for a long time - putting her into a coma. Rogue ended up with permanent ability to fly, super strength, and heightened resistance to physical attack.
No, Scott wasn’t the actor on Scream 4. The actor who your wife is thinking of is David Arquette… he’s been the cop in all of the Scream movies. The actor playing Scott is James Marsden 🙂
@@eldritchbaobun9976 that the Xmen are an allegory for the civil rights movement is not incorrect. With charles and magneto representing MLK and Malcolm X may be
This is half true. Stan Lee did write the mutants to be an allegory for oppressed minorities, but Charles and Eric being based on public figures MLK & Malcom X has been debunked. It was an accident that they were so similar to them.
@@omarslayz yeah, I agree with what @jessea4438 said. Stan Lee didn't have Dr. King and Malcolm X in mind when he was creating X-Men. I think that comparison was something Bryan Singer (director) originally made.
Magneto can manipulate magnetic fields in his surrounding thus being able to manipulate metal. Not with electricity nor telepathically 😂. Also Magneto can fly because it really simple, he just wear clothes that have metals... maybe in his boots. 39:41 No, they clearly showed earlier that Mystique sabotaged Cerebro. And no Mystique only copy appearances not powers. Else Magneto would used her instead of Rogue.
"She's turning into Rogue The White" - Baha LOTR nods are appreciated. This was such a treat! I was obsessed with The X-Men cartoon and comics when I was a kid. I wanted to be a mutant so bad. Baha.
An interesting distinction between the X-Men and the MCU is that almost everyone in the MCU *gains* their powers in some fashion. Captain America was the result of super soldier experimentation, the Hulk accidentally poisoned himself with gamma radiation, Wanda volunteered to be experimented on by Hydra, and so on. In the X-Men the characters are all born with their powers, whether they like them or not. A great bit of writing is that one of the most "put together" characters, Scott/Cyclops, has almost no control over his power and is a force of massive destruction unless he has his visor. Because of this characteristic, the heroes and villains in the X-Men are more human and normal; some of them choose their paths and some of them have no choice. Also, here's a fun little "blooper" from the original movie: ruclips.net/video/awNFzpCvF18/видео.html
In the comics (before they tried to retcon it to downplay the X-Men when they didn't have the rights to put them in the MCU yet), Wanda and Pietro ARE mutants and are Magneto's children.
Sabertooth was played by Tyler Mane. He also played Michael Myers a few years ago. I sold him a truck a few years ago. The guy is like 7'2" tall. I joked with him that he was gonna have to open the sunroof just to sit in the truck. Super cool guy.
FUN fact after the x men were created in 1963 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby they gained huge popularity in the black and gay LGBTQ community. Living in a society were they were mistreated and discriminated against black and gay comic book readers saw themselves in the characters through the civil rights and gay rights movement’s. Seeing what the comic did for the black and gay community the creators of the comics adapted the characters to spread awareness through subtext and show people who weren’t from the minorities what it was like being marginalised. Marvels first major openly gay character North Star is an x man and and is one half of the first same sex marriage depicted in marvel comics. Professor x and magneto also represent the fight for the Silvio rights movement with Professor X and his vision of harmonious human-mutant coexistence standing in for Dr. Martin Luther King, while Magneto's rigid attitude toward the defence of mutant kind reflected the philosophy of Malcolm X. Through out the films you’ll see how marvel carried on this tradition with hints and gay coded dialogue through the x mens fight for freedom and equality being a metaphor for what it is like as part of the LGBT community and being gay.
It was more about black people way more than gay people who weren't out In the open in the 60's like they started to be in the 70's . Professor x represented Dr Martin Luther King and magneto represented Malcolm x
It was about both movements, after the civil rights movement in 1954 and the gay liberation movement starting in the 1960s and lasting till the 1980s along with stone wall of 1969 the creators of the comics decided to adapt the x men to represent marginalised people over all, but more specifically gay and black people. Over time the X-men have become more representative of gay and LGBT rights though, seeing what the characters did for people of the community and how much the creators could subtly correlate being a mutant to being gay specifically. The mutants having to hide there identity to not scare humans, the humans looking for a cure for being a mutant, the mutants powers being genetic are all metaphors for social issues the creators chose to put in the comics to represent the struggles of the gay community. As he said the first major openly gay character is an x-man and is the first gay marriage in marvel comics. It’s also why the creators of the movies Cary on what they did and are doing in the comics because LGBT issues and rights are what the x-men as a whole mainly represent now, Bobby parents not knowing he’s a mutant is a metaphor for being gay, him having to tell them in x-men 2 and his mothers response saying have you tried not being a mutant is a metaphor for coming out, rogue thinking she needs the cure and humans wanting a cure for mutants is a metaphor for conversion therapy and people thinking you can cure being gay and so on and so on, so the x men represent both but not long after as the comics progressed the x-men mainly became a metaphor for what its like for the gay and LGBT community and the issues they face.
@@LukeCage-ku6ny Plus, Director Bryan Singer and Ian McKellan are both openly gay. Anna Paquin(Rogue) is bisexual and Shadowcat`s then actress later came out as a transman. The character Arclight on the Brotherhood side in "X-Men:The Last Stand" is also trans.
Adamantium is stronger, but vibranium has the special property of completely cancelling all vibrations when it hits things or things hit it, which is what makes it strong (bullets that hit it lose all kinetic force, not necessarily because the metal is particularly strong). That's how Cap's shield is able to ricochet like it does, it doesn't lose energy when striking objects.
@@punkem733 yes true adamantium is indestructible by physical force. Even Thor using all of his godly might or Hulk fully enraged can't do more than put a small dent in true/primary adamantium, while they can completely break or mangle secondary adamantium. But even true adamantium can be destroyed by anti-metal. Fortunately Cap doesn't have any of that.
@@neospock5034 Was that true adamantium? I know years ago marvel retconned all the times we saw adamantium destroyed by saying all those moments it was secondary adamantium, and that true adamantium is truly indestructible.
In the beginning you said, "So somewhere out there, Cap was out there." Well, Kevin Fiege (Head of Marvel Studios) planned on crossing over Cap, Hulk and Iron Man with the Xmen universe, but because of legal rights it wasn't meant to be. As you will see down the road, they hint at Wanda and Fox has their own version of Pietro (Quicksilver) but Marvel was allowed to "share" these characters in Avengers Age of Ultron. They (Marvel) were not allowed to mention Mutants so they couldn't reveal that Magneto is the father of Wanda and Pietro............yet.
In the MCU Magneto isn't their father, at least not in the primary timeline. Their MCU father isn't unknown, he was killed by Stark's bomb. Also in the comics, Magneto is no longer biologically related to Wanda and Pietro. Their backstory has been changed (again) so that for decades, Magneto was simply thought to be their father but really wasn't.
If you want to see "Gandolf" in a villian role watch him in Apt Pupil. It's a thriller about a high schooler that finds out his neighbor is a Natzi war criminal. The cop who finds the injured security guard( Mystique) is the guy who wrote the movie. Magneto can control magnetic fields which allows him to fly. He has no mind powers. In the 90's marvel comics sold the tv and movie rights to their most popular properties( X-Men, Spiderman and Fantastic Four). So when they started the MCU with Iron Man they couldn't use "mutants" in it. So in Age of Ultron, they could use Wanda but she couldn't be a "mutant". Which is why the Mind Stone was used to create her and Pietro. Fox was using Quicksilver in their movies so they let MCU use him in only 1 movie, but he had to die in it. Disney now owns Fox so the Mutants are slowly getting used and mentioned in the MCU.
The X-Men, a group of superheroes, can be found in American comic books released by Marvel Comics. The team was brought to life by artist/co-writer Jack Kirby and editor/co-writer Stan Lee, making their debut in The X-Men #1 (September 1963). Despite being initially discontinued in 1970 due to poor sales, it experienced a resurgence in 1975 under the guidance of writer Chris Claremont, ultimately becoming one of Marvel Comics' most iconic and prosperous franchises.
Why not, when there's a Squirrel Girl. There is a mutant we see in one of these movies that is covered in spike, if memory serves, though I don't think we ever learn his name.
When I tell you X-Men was my JAM as a kid... My uncle had stacks of long boxes, FULL of X-men comics, and every summer I'd find a quiet spot in my grandma's house and just read all day. I watched the cartoons religiously (90s baby so I was lucky enough to be around for both the OG animated series and X-men Evolution). These live-action movies started coming out when I was 10. I remember being a little underwhelmed by it, even back then, because even though they handle the central concept pretty well, there's SO MUCH they don't show... The X-men franchise's greatest strength is in its characters and their relationships with each other; you read the comics and you're there for the actions/missions, sure, but you're there for the soap opera drama and emotional beats in-between their adventures just as much. While I think X2 comes the closest to feeling like its source material, the "Singerverse" never quite _gets_ that, imo, but it deserves the fans it has. It helped get the superhero movie genre on its feet and its always cool to look back on to see where it all started. Without them, we never would've gotten Iron Man or any of the MCU. I'm hopeful that if someone with passion for the franchise can get behind the director's chair, the MCU could revitalize it and do things right. At this point, its one of the only properties it has that could bring the MCU back to its former glory...
X-Men are in the same universe as Thanos and all that, it’s just licensing issues kept the X-men from being in the films. But they’re slowly integrating them finally into the MCU
Sir Ian Mckellan is one of the last of the great English Shakespearean, classically trained actors, along with Ian Holm, Patrick Stewart, Christopher Lee, Christopher Plummer and Judi Dench. He made his career on stage for many years before enjoying success later in life as an A-list actor.
"one of the last of the great English Shakespearean, classically trained actors" What does that even mean? English theater hasn't stopped at all, much less Shakespearean...
He's always been kind of a boring character. The "straight man", serious, business-like. It's not his fault, he's just got to be the no-nonsense, field team leader. If and when they ever bring him into the MCU, they should write him some scenes where his personality can really shine. His powers are fairly limited in flexibility. All he can do is shoot very powerful blasts from his eyes. Great as a destructive weapon, but not much use for anything else. Unlike most of the other X-Men: Storm can manipulate weather in many different ways, use the wind to fly, hit people with lightning; Wolverine has his claws, regeneration, and heightened senses; Iceman can encase people in ice, make structures out of ice, use ice to slide along the ground really fast; etc.
The X-Men in the comics exist alongside the Avengers, Fantastic Four etc. Within Marvel's Mainline Universe of Earth-616 since 1939 and later the Marvel era during the 1960s when Stan Lee gave birth to The Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, X-Men, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Avengers etc. But during the 1990s Marvel sold there movie rights off with Fox buying the rights to X-Men. Sony got Spider-Man etc. So when the 2000s came by we got a bunch of Marvel films but no connection between. People tried for example Wolverine was planned to cameo in Spider-Man (2002) but this never happened. Then Iron Man (2008) came out and the MCU was born but Fox still owned the rights to X-Men. In a perfect world we would've saw Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and X-Men from the beginning in the MCU. Fun fact Kevin Feige the now President of Marvel Studios started his producing journey with X-Men, X2, and X-Men: The Last Stand. He was one of the producers who spoke up about wanting the X-Men to be wear more comic accurate outfits to fit with the comics. But this was during a time when Comic Book movies were not very mainstream yet so the big producers thought that having too much comic book designs would scare away the mainstream audience. So they just gave everyone matching Black Leather Suit that strips them of any personality. It took us 24+ years for us to finally see Wolverine in his comic book outfit with the up in coming Deadpool 3 film.
This 1st XMEN is just the first of many and sorts of an intro. You just saw a few of the mutants and their abilities but you haven't seen anything yet. X2 will set it off. I am so glad you finally started this series. XMEN is my favorite seriese and their abilites are incredible; great creativity. Enjoy!
As a sports and novels kid I never read any comics, so to me these movies were just a wide new world of superheroes utterly different than the Tobey Spider-Man movies. I learned all that other stuff later just like y’all so getting to go back and watch these movies with y’all is such a blast!
Magneto is the goat. Especially in first class, days of future past. those are my two favorite x men films ever, not that anyone cares, just to say how his character is shown in those films is awesome.
When this movie came out, long long before ANY ideas about the MCU happening, I got sooo pumped. I grew up reading X-Men comics and there were rumors even in the 90's about an X-Men movie being made, so when this came out I was sooo freakin excited. It was so awesome seeing it in the cinema. Absolutely loved it. :) To maybe help answer some stuff: Rogue ius played by Anna Paquin in this and she's been in a bunch of stuff. Probably most famous for the movie The Piano when she was much younger. You can look it up. 20:17 - if you look at that scene again, Wolverine takes note of the broken tree. If a tree falls, it normally uproots itself, but this one was deliberately broken, so yeh I think Sabretooth knocked it down to setup the ambush. 33:40 - So Magneto is tuned into the electromagnetic fields around the Earth, so he creates an electromagnetic field around himself to make himself "fly" - he creates a field and floats in his field. He can use the field to push himself around, which is how he flies. But yeh, so stoked you're watching X-Men movies now. I think my favourite is X-Men 2 which is hopefully next for you guys.
X-Men is one of the greatest franchises ever. I had so much fun experiencing all of these movies in theaters on the big screen. Great reaction you guys!
6:59 Anna Paquin is a great actress who won an Oscar for her 1st role in The Piano. She's also been nominated for 5 Golden Globes and won one for True Blood, a TV show she starred in for 7 seasons and 80 episodes. She's also been in many other famous movies, including Almost Famous, Jane Eyre, and The Irishman. She's best known for her True Bloods role, her X-Men character, and being the 2nd youngest ever to win an Oscar.
@@kerry-j4mumm no he's still around, but there was a scandal a while back involving leaked footage of him and his wife doing something married couples do on occasion 😂
A Wolverine is a part of the same taxonomic family as weasels and badgers, and are well known for their ferocity and strength disproportionate to their size. They also can be found mostly in the Northern US and Canada. That is why the character's name is Wolverine :P Yes, Scott (Cyclops) has to wear those special glasses all the time because his eyes are constantly emitting kinetic force beams, only being stopped by his eyelids or by the glasses, made of ruby quartz which reflect the energy harmlessly. The visor he wears on missions lets him focus the beams into a single optic blast, hence Cyclops. Rogue in the comics ended up fighting Ms. Marvel (the future Captain Marvel) and killed her via her power, which caused her to absorb ALL of her powers permanently, so she can now fly, has super strength, and is invulnerable. These films kind of did Rogue dirty in that this never happens and she stays as just a power vampire. Storm is one of the most powerful mutants alive, able to control the weather on a global scale when she really gets her dander up. Charles Xavier is known as Professor X, and is also extremely powerful. He and Magneto are, well, frenemies, because they used to work together to further mutant rights before Magneto took on his mutant supremacy bent. Magneto is something of an anti-villain, in that his goals are noble, but his methods are very questionable at best.
She's been in quite a few things. but the most likely place you'd have seen Anna Paquin before would be as Sookie in True Blood. And the astonishing answer to how many Oscars Sir Ian McKellen has won is...zero; though he's been nominated twice. He was mainly a stage, TV and Shakespearean film actor until late in his career though so whilst his major film roles are huge in pop culture they don't represent a significant portion of his acting career.
You were 16 when it came out in 2000? And have been a fan since 1986? That would mean you were 2 years old in '86. Did you mean '96? (that is when the Fox X-Men cartoon series had its final season)
The X Men are not only my favorite superheroes but are amongst my favorite fictional characters of all times Can't wait to follow two of my favorite youtubers on this journey
the Xmen does have ties to different minority groups in real, up to the readers translation but yea there is a reason the issues in this movie feel real.
Great reaction, y'all! You'll love this universe. Some movies are better than others; some are truly dazzling. Make sure to watch them all in release order. And you're right; this will all come together; as the X-Men are now part of the MCU. Enjoy the ride!
The X-Men have a lot of great stories and series, not to mention tons of characters all with different powers/abilities and personalities. The guy that played Toad, Ray Park, was also the physical actor for Darth Maul(meaning he was in the make up/on screen and did the stunts) in Star Wars Episode 1. Also, the white stripe that appeared in Rogue's hair is actually the character's signature look in the comics.
Ray Park the actor who portrays Toad also portrays Darth Maul in Star wars episode 1 the phantom menace. He doesn't fly, its magnetism, he has metal in his shoes.
Not in the movies. But Storm marries Black Panther. And is not a mutant. Magneto is Wanda, Scarlet Witch’s dad. And Rogue eats Captain Marvel’s powers. Permanently. All of those I’d love to see in the movies.
14:20 and we are waiting on it, waiting for the X-Men to be officially introduced to the MCU, and finally fight The Avengers in (hopefully) across many future movies 😁😁
Hey guys! Shout out from the US Marine Corps! Great reaction to this movie. I actually love all the movies! I can't wait for you guys to watch X men. X men. First class! That one and Days Of A Futures Past are unbelievable! 31:58 You first was a Ghostbuster?! So cool! I think Janine may be jealous though! Keep up the great reactions! ❤🤍💙💛
Marie/Rouge is Anna Paquin, she was in True Blood after the X Men films. FYI the boy she kisses at the start doesn't die. Surprisingly Ian McKellen hasn't won any Oscars, nominated twice for Gods And Monsters (Actor) and TLOTR: The Fellowship Of The Ring (Supporting Actor). Cyclops is James Marsden, not been in any Scream films
In the comics. Considering Peter's mutation. Him and Magneto once bump heads when he tried to hunt him/recruit him. He's pro human so he would be on Charles' side when the x-men have civil wars. Which is on a side note why he isn't worthy cause he would still not kill his enemies which is why unlike Peter, steve is a soldier like logan and were buds in the 40's or in the present. Some mutants mentioned or seen in one shot like the students he (Charles) talked to or every power mentioned when someone mentions about mutants being evil or how one's could be powerful start appearing in the second movie to X-men apocalypse (Clue) when kelly says she could rob a bank and she was in Charles teaching session running through the door
Growing up and reading comics it was good to read things like X-Men, using art/science fiction to explore both how wrong prejudice is and to see someone who goes through changes and struggles to understand their bodies after such a change how to exist in a world they now see differently. Also to see how someone either lets that prejudice and hate change them for the worse or rise above and continue to make the right choices and do the heroic deeds.
enjoy the X-men franchise..line-up is Xmen 1-3, Xmen Origins: Wolverine, Xmen: First Class, The Wolverine, Xmen: Days of Future Past, Deadpool, Xmen: Apocalypse, Logan, Deadpool 2, Dark Phoenix, and New Mutants..
X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Wolverine are forgettable tbh unless you REALLY like his character and want to know his backstory prior to the Alkalai Lake experiments but Logan is definitely a masterpiece.
The X gene actives during puberty but during heightened moments of stress, they unlock the mutant powers. It doesn't show necessarily during puberty, but sometimes after.
Magneto can fly by creating a personal magnetic field around himself like a force field that he can control at will. It can ataches itself to Earth's own magnetic field as well making it possible for him to travel trought it's lines. He also has his costume made with metalic fiber mixed with the fabric. This force field like his powers are invisible to the human eye but in the comics the artist draw it like a purple eletric/magnetic type of energy to be more visually striking and for the reader to be able to understand when he's using it.
magneto flies, either by controlling any metal on his body, the magnetic field around him, or my favorite explanation, he can control the molecular level metals in the blood of any living being and make therm levitate just on that in their being alone. badass
In the comics Wanda was a member of the brotherhood but eventually felt they were evil. I guess she couldn't bring herself to join the xmen after fighting the so she joined the avengers instead. It was a shame they couldn't really dig into the brotherhood characters toad was actually a very sympathetic character as he was always bullied by the brotherhood with insults and smacks but they saved him from I believe death at the hands of humans so he feels the brotherhood is the only place he is safe despite the bullying
7:10 that girl is Anna Paquin, she is an amazing actress and she is in a lot of stuff... i think she is more famous to be in the show True Blood as the main character and was on Scream 4. Gandalf is british, Sir Ian McKellen, so he received more awards in the UK, 6 Olivier Awards, 1 Tony Award and 1 Golden Globe... he should receive a lot more science fiction still isn't a the main category for the awards, caracters of drama always win... Mutants is a metaphor for all the minories and freaks that are accept for society, LGBT+ people can relate a lot with this series
1:13-Stan Lee spent a lot of time coming up with popular catch-phrases like "Face Front", "'Nuff said", "Excelsior", and "Millenia". This film was before Disney bought Marvel, But it's box office success persuaded them there was big $$ to be made if they partnered up for the first Spider-Man movie. (Wolverine debuted in Incredible Hulk #181) 36:32-Yeah, Eric already had lots of hate, but what pushed him over the edge and turned him and Charles into frenemies is explained in "X-Men-First Class" 2011...Be warned the final scene is heartbreaking. Loved the dialouge between them in both movies..straight from the comics!! .
This movie is good (despite being a bit dated). This movie came out at a time where superhero movies werent taken as seriously or given any credibility, so this was one of those rare gems (along with Blade, and Spider-Man)
James Marsden was not the cop in "Scream", that would be David Arquette.(I could see where you might get the two mixed up however)He was, however, the cop in the "Sonic the Hedgehog" films.
At the time that Stan Lee came up with the X-MEN. Civil Rights was a hot topic. Humans with prejudice against mutants was Stan's commentary about dealing with the issue. The air is filled with electromagnetic energy. Magneto is able to manipulate it so he can fly. Time for the sequel. ✌️
While I grew up reading all of Marvel and DC comics, X-Men was my favorite. I still remember when I was 10 years old (1996), and my Dad was reading the paper and he said "hey come look at this" and there was a small article about Fox making a live action X-Men movie. I lost my shit lol. So 4 years later this came out and I went with my Dad to the theaters to see it. At the time I was a LITTLE disappointed, it's not as dark and gritty as the comics can get, and they focused too much on Wolverine while everyone else is relegated to side characters, and it has that Pre-MCU "super hero movie will never be cool" vibe to it. But this movie really kick started the superhero movie craze (technically Blade came first in 1998, but this is the one that really turned heads), and I look back on it fondly now.
I LOVE X-MEN!!!!!!!! The X-MEN are a call on social discrimination against other groups of people like minorities, LGBTQ+, Jewish people etc. It's SUCH a good commentary to pay attention to. LOVE and can't wait for you to see the rest. Can't wait for the new MARVEL X-MEN to be introduced!
The X-Men comics were born during the Civil Rights movement of the 60s and hs always drawn parallels to prejudice… on top of it, Magneto is Jewish and was in a concentration camp during WWII when his powers first manifested - so he takes the human vs mutant thing personally Early in the comics, Xavier was very MLK like and Magneto was very Malcom X like… and the comics always walked that fine line with its villains. They always had very understandable motivations
This movie was a lot of hype for us Marvel fans that had never had a successful "proper" superhero film. (I am not counting the Blade trilogy, I didn't even know it was Marvel when my my wife and I walked into that theater) DC had already had three decades of hit and miss movies with the Superman and the Batman series of films. My only real problem with this film from a comic book standpoint is at the grand finale when Wolverine saves Rogue by giving her his regeneration powers, why did the old injuries suddenly reappear? That isn't how healing works. One you're healed from an injury, that's it. So taking his healing factor away should just mean he won't heal from new injuries. As an example, if you decided to put out a campfire with a fire extinguisher and then you indeed do put it completely out, then I come take away your fire extinguisher, the campfire doesn't re-light itself. Still the movie was a total win and I realize they had to do something to *show* that she was absorbing his abilities and it was potentially dangerous to Logan.
Also the movies makes it seem like Wolverine is the main character in the comic which he often isn’t the sole protagonist . He does have his own comics but the X-Men comic is about everyone who’s important/leaders which he is. Some of the students they showed are Easter eggs for famous heros that you’ll see in the future movies. Storm is my favorite (random). They also changed a few of the hero’s backstories. Rouge started as a bad guy with the brotherhood then became a good guy. Stuff like that is changed.
No, that's not the cop from Scream. It's a different actor. And Magneto can't fly, per se. He uses his magnetism and magnetic fields to do a kind of hovering or levitation. And yeah, sometimes he just stands on a piece of metal and moves it around with his powers.
@@terrylandess6072 Yeah, there's a lot of "comic book science" here. Lots of metals aren't affected by magnets, like aluminum, but for some reason, Magneto can still manipulate all of them. And many of the things he does with metal, like reshaping it, would cause a lot of other effects, realistically, like heating up the metal a lot, but that don't seem to happen at all when he does it.
@@TheOctobersReact 😂😂 I was about to ask if you meant him because I knew you knew who Dewey was (I love all of your Scream reactions!!) but then I thought you may have meant the one cop in Scream 4 lol
Its been awhile since i watched y'all. X-Men movies are some of my favorites Marvel films. Bro telling your wife about the wart's issue you had was hilarious 😂.
One of the best comic book movies ever, in my opinion because it is the best showcase of how the X-Men character’s personalities really are in the comic books. Edit: The only personality that wasn’t quite right in the movie is Rogue/Marie. Rogue is actually very independent and tough and she’s only really vulnerable with Wolverine and later on Gambit, her future husband, but that’s many, MANY comic book issues later. But man, do they carry on this very involved passionate relationship. A very cool Avengers related fact from this universe is that Magneto is Scarlett Witch’s father, so Quicksilver her brother is his son as well. Magneto had a LOT of affairs with both mutant and human women over the years, so he has quite a few kids wandering around in this universe. He is a Holocaust survivor and he lost his entire family in Auschwitz. The only reason Eric was spared was because the Nazis were fascinated by his mutant ability to manipulate any form of metal, and it is later on that Apocalypse, (an ancient bad ass villain you will meet in a later movie), enhances these powers to be able to tap into the very magnetosphere of the entire planet if the mood takes him. He has a daughter called Polaris who shares his powers, but I forget what else she can do.
My favorite X-Man is Cyclops. He has a great power, but needs the visor to control it. Because it's very limited in its use - blasting things - his real value to the group is as the leader. One of the great things about Marvel characters is that no one can do everything, and they work better as a group. And in that group, there needs to be someone to coordinate them, and know whose powers are best in which situation. He showcases that at the end, telling Storm to lift Logan, but knowing her wind isn't very precise, Jean needs to steady him. Logan goes up being great at close quarters and difficult to hurt, but Scott is there as the last resort to blast everything if all else fails. That's always the key puzzle to solve in every story, and the most powerful characters might not be the one who can get the job done. The same way that Black Widow and Hawkeye continue to prove their worth when there is Iron Man, Thor and the Hulk. And Cyclops is like the Captain America of the X-Man, keeping everyone organized and on mission. He can sometimes seem sullen and moody as a result, because he feels he has to live up to the expectations Charles placed on him. While Charles was comatose, Scott tells him something of this, where he will take care of the X-Men if needed - knowing full well he can't fill Charles' shoes.

You're on a GOAT journey guys...I started collecting X-Men comics when they came out 40-50 yrs ago... this particular movie is pretty good but the CGI at the time couldn't compete w what the mutants could actually do....the Spiderman movies n whatnot CGI finally started catching up..I can keep going but ur better off just watching....I'm guessing you'll enjoy them🔥🤘🔥good work y'all✌️
That guy TOAD...he's a highly trained martial artist IRL...he was also DARTH MAUL...the red faced sith in Star Wars👍🔥(that got chopped in half😅)
Oh..one more thing... there's HUNDREDS of crossovers with the mutants and marvel universe...it can get confusing 😅
Stan Lee inspiration for professor x and magneto was Martin Luther King and Malcom X , they have the same goals just different methods of achieving those goals
Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen, two greats of the stage and the silver screen. They had known each other since their youth, when they were working for The Royal Shakespeare Company. This is the first time they acted together onscreen, and they have been good friends ever since.
The thing about Scott/Cyclops is that force beams from his eyes are being constantly generated, he can't shut off his power. So whenever his eyes are open, he'd be blasting whatever he's looking at. However there is a special substance (ruby quartz) that neutrailizes his optic beams. That's why he wears a visor or special glasses at all times.
I grew up reading Marvel comics and I love how they could give someone a power so strong but have a drawback, a flaw, that made them afraid of themselves and their own superpowers.
Yea he's always been one of my faves, often underrated both as a leader type and for power.@@testfire3000
Sometimes Wolverine will smell danger before Spider-Man's spidey sense tells him there's danger.
In theory, Daredevil, Wolverine and Spider-Man being on the same team would guarantee nobody could sneak up on you.
they would make an excellent super sense team
Imagine how OP that team is. Would love to see them throw hands with some villains on the big screen
Wolverine doesn't smell danger, he has heightened senses. He smells people
“So this is happening in the torch of the Statue of Liberty? I knew it was sus up there…” 😂😂😂
In the comics Rogue has an additional power set: she held on to Captain Marvel / Carol Danvers for a long time - putting her into a coma. Rogue ended up with permanent ability to fly, super strength, and heightened resistance to physical attack.
Holy cow so I can assume she’s going to do this in the series
@@TheOctobersReact who knows they might do that in the films i would love to see them do that
No, Scott wasn’t the actor on Scream 4. The actor who your wife is thinking of is David Arquette… he’s been the cop in all of the Scream movies. The actor playing Scott is James Marsden 🙂
I think she was talking about Patrick Dempsey the detective Sidney married lol, James and Patrick were both in Enchanted though.
@anirtakgaming yes that’s exactly who lol
@@anirtakgaming Patrick Dempsey wasn’t in Scream 4
He wasn't physically in it but we did get information that confirmed they got together after Scream 3. @@nsasupporter7557
The X-Men is an allegory for the civil rights movement, with Charles Xavier being Martin Luther King, and Erik Wagner being Malcolm X
This is incorrect on many levels...
@@eldritchbaobun9976 that the Xmen are an allegory for the civil rights movement is not incorrect. With charles and magneto representing MLK and Malcolm X may be
This is half true. Stan Lee did write the mutants to be an allegory for oppressed minorities, but Charles and Eric being based on public figures MLK & Malcom X has been debunked. It was an accident that they were so similar to them.
@@omarslayz yeah, I agree with what @jessea4438 said. Stan Lee didn't have Dr. King and Malcolm X in mind when he was creating X-Men. I think that comparison was something Bryan Singer (director) originally made.
Damn, they COMPLETELY talked over the part where logan explains that his claws hurt him everytime they come out.
I literally made a comment about him saying that in the movie. To be honest, I’m not sure if it made it in the edit, but I definitely did.
Magneto can manipulate magnetic fields in his surrounding thus being able to manipulate metal. Not with electricity nor telepathically 😂. Also Magneto can fly because it really simple, he just wear clothes that have metals... maybe in his boots.
39:41 No, they clearly showed earlier that Mystique sabotaged Cerebro.
And no Mystique only copy appearances not powers. Else Magneto would used her instead of Rogue.
"She's turning into Rogue The White" - Baha LOTR nods are appreciated. This was such a treat! I was obsessed with The X-Men cartoon and comics when I was a kid. I wanted to be a mutant so bad. Baha.
An interesting distinction between the X-Men and the MCU is that almost everyone in the MCU *gains* their powers in some fashion. Captain America was the result of super soldier experimentation, the Hulk accidentally poisoned himself with gamma radiation, Wanda volunteered to be experimented on by Hydra, and so on. In the X-Men the characters are all born with their powers, whether they like them or not. A great bit of writing is that one of the most "put together" characters, Scott/Cyclops, has almost no control over his power and is a force of massive destruction unless he has his visor. Because of this characteristic, the heroes and villains in the X-Men are more human and normal; some of them choose their paths and some of them have no choice.
Also, here's a fun little "blooper" from the original movie:
ruclips.net/video/awNFzpCvF18/видео.html
In the comics (before they tried to retcon it to downplay the X-Men when they didn't have the rights to put them in the MCU yet), Wanda and Pietro ARE mutants and are Magneto's children.
Sabertooth was played by Tyler Mane. He also played Michael Myers a few years ago. I sold him a truck a few years ago. The guy is like 7'2" tall. I joked with him that he was gonna have to open the sunroof just to sit in the truck. Super cool guy.
lol that’s pretty cool.
You’re off by 6 inches haha. At his peak was 6’9 with thick boots on.
Anna Paquin (ROGUE), the girl you have never seen before, is the youngest actress to win a Best Supporting Actress at The Oscars.
FUN fact after the x men were created in 1963 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby they gained huge popularity in the black and gay LGBTQ community. Living in a society were they were mistreated and discriminated against black and gay comic book readers saw themselves in the characters through the civil rights and gay rights movement’s.
Seeing what the comic did for the black and gay community the creators of the comics adapted the characters to spread awareness through subtext and show people who weren’t from the minorities what it was like being marginalised.
Marvels first major openly gay character North Star is an x man and and is one half of the first same sex marriage depicted in marvel comics. Professor x and magneto also represent the fight for the Silvio rights movement with Professor X and his vision of harmonious human-mutant coexistence standing in for Dr. Martin Luther King, while Magneto's rigid attitude toward the defence of mutant kind reflected the philosophy of Malcolm X.
Through out the films you’ll see how marvel carried on this tradition with hints and gay coded dialogue through the x mens fight for freedom and equality being a metaphor for what it is like as part of the LGBT community and being gay.
It was more about black people way more than gay people who weren't out In the open in the 60's like they started to be in the 70's . Professor x represented Dr Martin Luther King and magneto represented Malcolm x
It was about both movements, after the civil rights movement in 1954 and the gay liberation movement starting in the 1960s and lasting till the 1980s along with stone wall of 1969 the creators of the comics decided to adapt the x men to represent marginalised people over all, but more specifically gay and black people.
Over time the X-men have become more representative of gay and LGBT rights though, seeing what the characters did for people of the community and how much the creators could subtly correlate being a mutant to being gay specifically.
The mutants having to hide there identity to not scare humans, the humans looking for a cure for being a mutant, the mutants powers being genetic are all metaphors for social issues the creators chose to put in the comics to represent the struggles of the gay community. As he said the first major openly gay character is an x-man and is the first gay marriage in marvel comics.
It’s also why the creators of the movies Cary on what they did and are doing in the comics because LGBT issues and rights are what the x-men as a whole mainly represent now, Bobby parents not knowing he’s a mutant is a metaphor for being gay, him having to tell them in x-men 2 and his mothers response saying have you tried not being a mutant is a metaphor for coming out, rogue thinking she needs the cure and humans wanting a cure for mutants is a metaphor for conversion therapy and people thinking you can cure being gay and so on and so on, so the x men represent both but not long after as the comics progressed the x-men mainly became a metaphor for what its like for the gay and LGBT community and the issues they face.
@@LukeCage-ku6ny Plus, Director Bryan Singer and Ian McKellan are both openly gay. Anna Paquin(Rogue) is bisexual and Shadowcat`s then actress later came out as a transman. The character Arclight on the Brotherhood side in "X-Men:The Last Stand" is also trans.
Anna Paquin won an award in the movie Piano. But she's best known for her role as Sookie in True Blood
“Sookie” (said like Bill, lol)
Sookeeehhh!!!!
you’re making me want to binge that damn show again omg
I first knew her from the movie Fly Away Home. Loved that movie as a kid.
@@betteryourlife865I was crushing on 13 year old Anna Paquin as a 10 year old kid:)
The metal in Wolverine is called Adamantium a different type of strong metal
Yes, in fact adamantium is even tougher than vibranium, although it doesn't have as many cool special prooerties.
Adamantium is stronger, but vibranium has the special property of completely cancelling all vibrations when it hits things or things hit it, which is what makes it strong (bullets that hit it lose all kinetic force, not necessarily because the metal is particularly strong). That's how Cap's shield is able to ricochet like it does, it doesn't lose energy when striking objects.
@@neospock5034 True adamantium is indestructible.
@@punkem733 yes true adamantium is indestructible by physical force. Even Thor using all of his godly might or Hulk fully enraged can't do more than put a small dent in true/primary adamantium, while they can completely break or mangle secondary adamantium.
But even true adamantium can be destroyed by anti-metal. Fortunately Cap doesn't have any of that.
@@neospock5034 Was that true adamantium? I know years ago marvel retconned all the times we saw adamantium destroyed by saying all those moments it was secondary adamantium, and that true adamantium is truly indestructible.
In the beginning you said, "So somewhere out there, Cap was out there." Well, Kevin Fiege (Head of Marvel Studios) planned on crossing over Cap, Hulk and Iron Man with the Xmen universe, but because of legal rights it wasn't meant to be. As you will see down the road, they hint at Wanda and Fox has their own version of Pietro (Quicksilver) but Marvel was allowed to "share" these characters in Avengers Age of Ultron. They (Marvel) were not allowed to mention Mutants so they couldn't reveal that Magneto is the father of Wanda and Pietro............yet.
Kevin was also a producer on the original X-men movies! He fought for a lot of the comic accurate aspects of those movies since the very beginning
*SPOILER ALERT!
In the MCU Magneto isn't their father, at least not in the primary timeline. Their MCU father isn't unknown, he was killed by Stark's bomb. Also in the comics, Magneto is no longer biologically related to Wanda and Pietro. Their backstory has been changed (again) so that for decades, Magneto was simply thought to be their father but really wasn't.
Wanda and Pietro are twins. So the sister you are referring to isn't Wanda. It's probably Lorna.
@@neospock5034multiverse coming tho... closer to MCU/Fox universe crossover every day
If you want to see "Gandolf" in a villian role watch him in Apt Pupil. It's a thriller about a high schooler that finds out his neighbor is a Natzi war criminal. The cop who finds the injured security guard( Mystique) is the guy who wrote the movie. Magneto can control magnetic fields which allows him to fly. He has no mind powers. In the 90's marvel comics sold the tv and movie rights to their most popular properties( X-Men, Spiderman and Fantastic Four). So when they started the MCU with Iron Man they couldn't use "mutants" in it. So in Age of Ultron, they could use Wanda but she couldn't be a "mutant". Which is why the Mind Stone was used to create her and Pietro. Fox was using Quicksilver in their movies so they let MCU use him in only 1 movie, but he had to die in it. Disney now owns Fox so the Mutants are slowly getting used and mentioned in the MCU.
"he hit the water and turned into like a flounder or something?" I swear we need to start a book of quotes😂
"Fly you fools!" The way I screamed just now 😭 😩. I can see him falling clear as day 😆 🤣 06:17
The X-Men, a group of superheroes, can be found in American comic books released by Marvel Comics. The team was brought to life by artist/co-writer Jack Kirby and editor/co-writer Stan Lee, making their debut in The X-Men #1 (September 1963). Despite being initially discontinued in 1970 due to poor sales, it experienced a resurgence in 1975 under the guidance of writer Chris Claremont, ultimately becoming one of Marvel Comics' most iconic and prosperous franchises.
There has to be a hedgehog man somewhere out there in this vast universe 😂
maybe, but we do know that there is X MAN
Why not, when there's a Squirrel Girl. There is a mutant we see in one of these movies that is covered in spike, if memory serves, though I don't think we ever learn his name.
@@gestaltdude yes in the third film
I know there's a Porcupine
When I tell you X-Men was my JAM as a kid...
My uncle had stacks of long boxes, FULL of X-men comics, and every summer I'd find a quiet spot in my grandma's house and just read all day. I watched the cartoons religiously (90s baby so I was lucky enough to be around for both the OG animated series and X-men Evolution).
These live-action movies started coming out when I was 10. I remember being a little underwhelmed by it, even back then, because even though they handle the central concept pretty well, there's SO MUCH they don't show... The X-men franchise's greatest strength is in its characters and their relationships with each other; you read the comics and you're there for the actions/missions, sure, but you're there for the soap opera drama and emotional beats in-between their adventures just as much.
While I think X2 comes the closest to feeling like its source material, the "Singerverse" never quite _gets_ that, imo, but it deserves the fans it has. It helped get the superhero movie genre on its feet and its always cool to look back on to see where it all started. Without them, we never would've gotten Iron Man or any of the MCU. I'm hopeful that if someone with passion for the franchise can get behind the director's chair, the MCU could revitalize it and do things right. At this point, its one of the only properties it has that could bring the MCU back to its former glory...
X-Men are in the same universe as Thanos and all that, it’s just licensing issues kept the X-men from being in the films. But they’re slowly integrating them finally into the MCU
yep
Sir Ian Mckellan is one of the last of the great English Shakespearean, classically trained actors, along with Ian Holm, Patrick Stewart, Christopher Lee, Christopher Plummer and Judi Dench. He made his career on stage for many years before enjoying success later in life as an A-list actor.
When an actor is defined by their merit, it's easy to see why they command the screen.
"one of the last of the great English Shakespearean, classically trained actors"
What does that even mean? English theater hasn't stopped at all, much less Shakespearean...
@cormano64 I was referring to that specific generation of stage actors. Apologies for being so inspecific.
Cyclops got the shaft in these movies. He’s a great character in the comic.
He's always been kind of a boring character. The "straight man", serious, business-like. It's not his fault, he's just got to be the no-nonsense, field team leader. If and when they ever bring him into the MCU, they should write him some scenes where his personality can really shine. His powers are fairly limited in flexibility. All he can do is shoot very powerful blasts from his eyes. Great as a destructive weapon, but not much use for anything else. Unlike most of the other X-Men: Storm can manipulate weather in many different ways, use the wind to fly, hit people with lightning; Wolverine has his claws, regeneration, and heightened senses; Iceman can encase people in ice, make structures out of ice, use ice to slide along the ground really fast; etc.
The battle of the Statue of Liberty became so iconic for years no other superhero movie dare to used it.
How does someone not know who wolverine is?! 😂 I love it tho
yeah i realized after we watched the 3rd one i really had no businesss not knowing that lol
@@TheOctobersReacthe basically the best character in the film
The X-Men in the comics exist alongside the Avengers, Fantastic Four etc. Within Marvel's Mainline Universe of Earth-616 since 1939 and later the Marvel era during the 1960s when Stan Lee gave birth to The Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, X-Men, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Avengers etc. But during the 1990s Marvel sold there movie rights off with Fox buying the rights to X-Men. Sony got Spider-Man etc. So when the 2000s came by we got a bunch of Marvel films but no connection between. People tried for example Wolverine was planned to cameo in Spider-Man (2002) but this never happened. Then Iron Man (2008) came out and the MCU was born but Fox still owned the rights to X-Men. In a perfect world we would've saw Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and X-Men from the beginning in the MCU.
Fun fact Kevin Feige the now President of Marvel Studios started his producing journey with X-Men, X2, and X-Men: The Last Stand. He was one of the producers who spoke up about wanting the X-Men to be wear more comic accurate outfits to fit with the comics. But this was during a time when Comic Book movies were not very mainstream yet so the big producers thought that having too much comic book designs would scare away the mainstream audience. So they just gave everyone matching Black Leather Suit that strips them of any personality. It took us 24+ years for us to finally see Wolverine in his comic book outfit with the up in coming Deadpool 3 film.
This 1st XMEN is just the first of many and sorts of an intro. You just saw a few of the mutants and their abilities but you haven't seen anything yet. X2 will set it off. I am so glad you finally started this series. XMEN is my favorite seriese and their abilites are incredible; great creativity. Enjoy!
As a sports and novels kid I never read any comics, so to me these movies were just a wide new world of superheroes utterly different than the Tobey Spider-Man movies. I learned all that other stuff later just like y’all so getting to go back and watch these movies with y’all is such a blast!
Magneto uses the earth’s magnetic field and metal present anywhere around him to fly.
I think he has metal soles on his feet too
@@distantraveller9876 that would make sense.
Magneto is the goat. Especially in first class, days of future past. those are my two favorite x men films ever, not that anyone cares, just to say how his character is shown in those films is awesome.
When this movie came out, long long before ANY ideas about the MCU happening, I got sooo pumped. I grew up reading X-Men comics and there were rumors even in the 90's about an X-Men movie being made, so when this came out I was sooo freakin excited. It was so awesome seeing it in the cinema. Absolutely loved it. :)
To maybe help answer some stuff:
Rogue ius played by Anna Paquin in this and she's been in a bunch of stuff. Probably most famous for the movie The Piano when she was much younger. You can look it up.
20:17 - if you look at that scene again, Wolverine takes note of the broken tree. If a tree falls, it normally uproots itself, but this one was deliberately broken, so yeh I think Sabretooth knocked it down to setup the ambush.
33:40 - So Magneto is tuned into the electromagnetic fields around the Earth, so he creates an electromagnetic field around himself to make himself "fly" - he creates a field and floats in his field. He can use the field to push himself around, which is how he flies.
But yeh, so stoked you're watching X-Men movies now. I think my favourite is X-Men 2 which is hopefully next for you guys.
X-Men is one of the greatest franchises ever. I had so much fun experiencing all of these movies in theaters on the big screen. Great reaction you guys!
6:59 Anna Paquin is a great actress who won an Oscar for her 1st role in The Piano. She's also been nominated for 5 Golden Globes and won one for True Blood, a TV show she starred in for 7 seasons and 80 episodes. She's also been in many other famous movies, including Almost Famous, Jane Eyre, and The Irishman. She's best known for her True Bloods role, her X-Men character, and being the 2nd youngest ever to win an Oscar.

A Wolverine is a part of the same taxonomic family as weasels and badgers, and are well known for their ferocity and strength disproportionate to their size. They also can be found mostly in the Northern US and Canada. That is why the character's name is Wolverine :P
Yes, Scott (Cyclops) has to wear those special glasses all the time because his eyes are constantly emitting kinetic force beams, only being stopped by his eyelids or by the glasses, made of ruby quartz which reflect the energy harmlessly. The visor he wears on missions lets him focus the beams into a single optic blast, hence Cyclops.
Rogue in the comics ended up fighting Ms. Marvel (the future Captain Marvel) and killed her via her power, which caused her to absorb ALL of her powers permanently, so she can now fly, has super strength, and is invulnerable. These films kind of did Rogue dirty in that this never happens and she stays as just a power vampire.
Storm is one of the most powerful mutants alive, able to control the weather on a global scale when she really gets her dander up.
Charles Xavier is known as Professor X, and is also extremely powerful. He and Magneto are, well, frenemies, because they used to work together to further mutant rights before Magneto took on his mutant supremacy bent. Magneto is something of an anti-villain, in that his goals are noble, but his methods are very questionable at best.
I feel like you guys would enjoy "True Blood", an HBO series starring Anna Paquin, who played Rogue here.
I second this! True Blood is soooo iconic.
I 3rd that, true blood is to this day a fave show of mine
She's been in quite a few things. but the most likely place you'd have seen Anna Paquin before would be as Sookie in True Blood. And the astonishing answer to how many Oscars Sir Ian McKellen has won is...zero; though he's been nominated twice. He was mainly a stage, TV and Shakespearean film actor until late in his career though so whilst his major film roles are huge in pop culture they don't represent a significant portion of his acting career.
I was 16 years old when this movie came out. Since 1986, I have been a fan of X-Men.
You were 16 when it came out in 2000? And have been a fan since 1986? That would mean you were 2 years old in '86.
Did you mean '96? (that is when the Fox X-Men cartoon series had its final season)
I was 13 in 2000 when it came out and I heard production of it was chaotic
"What's he looking for??"
"Maybe a new RV?"
I love you guys 😂
we love you too !
You just literally quoted what Groot said in Guardians 3
The X Men are not only my favorite superheroes but are amongst my favorite fictional characters of all times
Can't wait to follow two of my favorite youtubers on this journey
the Xmen does have ties to different minority groups in real, up to the readers translation but yea there is a reason the issues in this movie feel real.
2:16 even, Erik got separated from the Nazis as a kid.
Great reaction, y'all! You'll love this universe. Some movies are better than others; some are truly dazzling. Make sure to watch them all in release order. And you're right; this will all come together; as the X-Men are now part of the MCU. Enjoy the ride!
The X-Men have a lot of great stories and series, not to mention tons of characters all with different powers/abilities and personalities. The guy that played Toad, Ray Park, was also the physical actor for Darth Maul(meaning he was in the make up/on screen and did the stunts) in Star Wars Episode 1. Also, the white stripe that appeared in Rogue's hair is actually the character's signature look in the comics.
I LOVE Halle Barry's Storm look 🔥🔥
Magneto is my boy especially when you realize how many things are made of metal and how much metal is around
Ray Park the actor who portrays Toad also portrays Darth Maul in Star wars episode 1 the phantom menace. He doesn't fly, its magnetism, he has metal in his shoes.
Not in the movies. But Storm marries Black Panther. And is not a mutant.
Magneto is Wanda, Scarlet Witch’s dad.
And Rogue eats Captain Marvel’s powers. Permanently.
All of those I’d love to see in the movies.
14:20 and we are waiting on it, waiting for the X-Men to be officially introduced to the MCU, and finally fight The Avengers in (hopefully) across many future movies 😁😁
yeah
Also fun fact wolverine was in ww2 in way more wars and he was teaming up with captain America sum times at least in comics
Hey guys! Shout out from the US Marine Corps! Great reaction to this movie. I actually love all the movies! I can't wait for you guys to watch X men. X men. First class! That one and Days Of A Futures Past are unbelievable! 31:58 You first was a Ghostbuster?! So cool! I think Janine may be jealous though! Keep up the great reactions! ❤🤍💙💛
Marie/Rouge is Anna Paquin, she was in True Blood after the X Men films. FYI the boy she kisses at the start doesn't die. Surprisingly Ian McKellen hasn't won any Oscars, nominated twice for Gods And Monsters (Actor) and TLOTR: The Fellowship Of The Ring (Supporting Actor). Cyclops is James Marsden, not been in any Scream films
You two are the cutest little dorks. hahaha. Love when you laugh at your own inside jokes. Ya'll charming!! Great reactions.
Cannot wait for your X2 reaction. Truly one of the best superhero movies ever
Other than playing Rogue in X-Men I think most people might now Anna Paquin from her role as Sookie Stackhouse in the HBO series True Blood.
In the comics. Considering Peter's mutation. Him and Magneto once bump heads when he tried to hunt him/recruit him. He's pro human so he would be on Charles' side when the x-men have civil wars.
Which is on a side note why he isn't worthy cause he would still not kill his enemies which is why unlike Peter, steve is a soldier like logan and were buds in the 40's or in the present.
Some mutants mentioned or seen in one shot like the students he (Charles) talked to or every power mentioned when someone mentions about mutants being evil or how one's could be powerful start appearing in the second movie to X-men apocalypse
(Clue) when kelly says she could rob a bank and she was in Charles teaching session running through the door
Growing up and reading comics it was good to read things like X-Men, using art/science fiction to explore both how wrong prejudice is and to see someone who goes through changes and struggles to understand their bodies after such a change how to exist in a world they now see differently. Also to see how someone either lets that prejudice and hate change them for the worse or rise above and continue to make the right choices and do the heroic deeds.
enjoy the X-men franchise..line-up is Xmen 1-3, Xmen Origins: Wolverine, Xmen: First Class, The Wolverine, Xmen: Days of Future Past, Deadpool, Xmen: Apocalypse, Logan, Deadpool 2, Dark Phoenix, and New Mutants..
X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Wolverine are forgettable tbh unless you REALLY like his character and want to know his backstory prior to the Alkalai Lake experiments but Logan is definitely a masterpiece.
The X gene actives during puberty but during heightened moments of stress, they unlock the mutant powers. It doesn't show necessarily during puberty, but sometimes after.
Magneto can fly by creating a personal magnetic field around himself like a force field that he can control at will. It can ataches itself to Earth's own magnetic field as well making it possible for him to travel trought it's lines. He also has his costume made with metalic fiber mixed with the fabric. This force field like his powers are invisible to the human eye but in the comics the artist draw it like a purple eletric/magnetic type of energy to be more visually striking and for the reader to be able to understand when he's using it.
magneto flies, either by controlling any metal on his body, the magnetic field around him, or my favorite explanation, he can control the molecular level metals in the blood of any living being and make therm levitate just on that in their being alone. badass
The actress who played marie aka rogue won a oscar at the age of 9 or 10 making her the youngest person to win 1
“Steel Knuckles” has me cracking up! 😂
In the comics Wanda was a member of the brotherhood but eventually felt they were evil. I guess she couldn't bring herself to join the xmen after fighting the so she joined the avengers instead. It was a shame they couldn't really dig into the brotherhood characters toad was actually a very sympathetic character as he was always bullied by the brotherhood with insults and smacks but they saved him from I believe death at the hands of humans so he feels the brotherhood is the only place he is safe despite the bullying
7:10 that girl is Anna Paquin, she is an amazing actress and she is in a lot of stuff... i think she is more famous to be in the show True Blood as the main character and was on Scream 4. Gandalf is british, Sir Ian McKellen, so he received more awards in the UK, 6 Olivier Awards, 1 Tony Award and 1 Golden Globe... he should receive a lot more science fiction still isn't a the main category for the awards, caracters of drama always win... Mutants is a metaphor for all the minories and freaks that are accept for society, LGBT+ people can relate a lot with this series
1:13-Stan Lee spent a lot of time coming up with popular catch-phrases like "Face Front", "'Nuff said", "Excelsior", and "Millenia". This film was before Disney bought Marvel, But it's box office success persuaded them there was big $$ to be made if they partnered up for the first Spider-Man movie. (Wolverine debuted in Incredible Hulk #181) 36:32-Yeah, Eric already had lots of hate, but what pushed him over the edge and turned him and Charles into frenemies is explained in "X-Men-First Class" 2011...Be warned the final scene is heartbreaking. Loved the dialouge between them in both movies..straight from the comics!! .
This movie is good (despite being a bit dated). This movie came out at a time where superhero movies werent taken as seriously or given any credibility, so this was one of those rare gems (along with Blade, and Spider-Man)
X2 is hands down the best of this old trilogy while X3 has the best plot but worst execution and X1 has a good plot and good execution.
agreeeeeeed! we have seen all 3 now and def agree!
Damn I ain’t never been this early , anyway Wsg yall my favorite reactors im not gon lie
Lol she thought you tricked her again but Anna panquin was dressed as little red riding hood in trick or treat😅
Megnito fly because earth is a giant magnet and magnet with the same poles repels. So Magnito is pushed by earth magnetic fields.
James Marsden was not the cop in "Scream", that would be David Arquette.(I could see where you might get the two mixed up however)He was, however, the cop in the "Sonic the Hedgehog" films.
Can't wait to see the crossovers now that they're part of the MCU now. MCU couldn't even legally refer to mutants until recently.
At the time that Stan Lee came up with the X-MEN. Civil Rights was a hot topic. Humans with prejudice against mutants was Stan's commentary about dealing with the issue.
The air is filled with electromagnetic energy. Magneto is able to manipulate it so he can fly.
Time for the sequel. ✌️
i'm surprised to find reactors who don't know anything about x-men well have no worries you'll learn more as you go through these films
While I grew up reading all of Marvel and DC comics, X-Men was my favorite. I still remember when I was 10 years old (1996), and my Dad was reading the paper and he said "hey come look at this" and there was a small article about Fox making a live action X-Men movie. I lost my shit lol. So 4 years later this came out and I went with my Dad to the theaters to see it. At the time I was a LITTLE disappointed, it's not as dark and gritty as the comics can get, and they focused too much on Wolverine while everyone else is relegated to side characters, and it has that Pre-MCU "super hero movie will never be cool" vibe to it. But this movie really kick started the superhero movie craze (technically Blade came first in 1998, but this is the one that really turned heads), and I look back on it fondly now.
I LOVE X-MEN!!!!!!!! The X-MEN are a call on social discrimination against other groups of people like minorities, LGBTQ+, Jewish people etc. It's SUCH a good commentary to pay attention to. LOVE and can't wait for you to see the rest. Can't wait for the new MARVEL X-MEN to be introduced!
The kid at the very beginning who was breaking the gate was Magnito when he was a kid
Yeah, we got that. We just didn’t mention it but thanks for letting us know.
@@TheOctobersReact you’re welcome 🙂👍
The X-Men comics were born during the Civil Rights movement of the 60s and hs always drawn parallels to prejudice… on top of it, Magneto is Jewish and was in a concentration camp during WWII when his powers first manifested - so he takes the human vs mutant thing personally
Early in the comics, Xavier was very MLK like and Magneto was very Malcom X like… and the comics always walked that fine line with its villains. They always had very understandable motivations
Since you asked how does Magneto fly? He creates a personal bubble of magnetism and then rides on the planets natural magnetic lines of force.
😅
Magneto doesn`t exactly fly, he levitates by manipulating the magnetic fields in the air.
Storm: *controlling wind and snow*
Cyclops: *shooting eyebeams*
“Are those guys mutants too?”
😂😂😂😂
Professor X was hurt by Cerebro because Mystique sabotaged it. You weren't paying attention apparently.
This movie was a lot of hype for us Marvel fans that had never had a successful "proper" superhero film. (I am not counting the Blade trilogy, I didn't even know it was Marvel when my my wife and I walked into that theater) DC had already had three decades of hit and miss movies with the Superman and the Batman series of films.
My only real problem with this film from a comic book standpoint is at the grand finale when Wolverine saves Rogue by giving her his regeneration powers, why did the old injuries suddenly reappear? That isn't how healing works. One you're healed from an injury, that's it. So taking his healing factor away should just mean he won't heal from new injuries.
As an example, if you decided to put out a campfire with a fire extinguisher and then you indeed do put it completely out, then I come take away your fire extinguisher, the campfire doesn't re-light itself. Still the movie was a total win and I realize they had to do something to *show* that she was absorbing his abilities and it was potentially dangerous to Logan.
Fun fact: Toad was played by the legendary stunt performer Ray Park. You'd remember him as Darth Maul from Star Wars E1: The Phantom Menace.
Ian Mckellen is an absolute amazing and must watch in "Gods and monsters" and "Apt pupil".
I am so excited you started these. They keep getting better and better❤❤❤
The actor who plays Cyclops in X-Men. He was not the cop in Scream. That actor's name is David Arquette.
Also the movies makes it seem like Wolverine is the main character in the comic which he often isn’t the sole protagonist . He does have his own comics but the X-Men comic is about everyone who’s important/leaders which he is. Some of the students they showed are Easter eggs for famous heros that you’ll see in the future movies. Storm is my favorite (random). They also changed a few of the hero’s backstories. Rouge started as a bad guy with the brotherhood then became a good guy. Stuff like that is changed.
No, that's not the cop from Scream. It's a different actor.
And Magneto can't fly, per se. He uses his magnetism and magnetic fields to do a kind of hovering or levitation. And yeah, sometimes he just stands on a piece of metal and moves it around with his powers.
Lead isn't magnetic, but it IS metal so it becomes a matter of nuance.
@@terrylandess6072 Yeah, there's a lot of "comic book science" here. Lots of metals aren't affected by magnets, like aluminum, but for some reason, Magneto can still manipulate all of them. And many of the things he does with metal, like reshaping it, would cause a lot of other effects, realistically, like heating up the metal a lot, but that don't seem to happen at all when he does it.
17:47 not sure which cop you’re talking about but James Marsden (Cyclops) was never in any of the Screams.
omg i got him mixed up with that guy who is Patrick Dempsey
@@TheOctobersReact 😂😂 I was about to ask if you meant him because I knew you knew who Dewey was (I love all of your Scream reactions!!) but then I thought you may have meant the one cop in Scream 4 lol
“Rogue” was in Scream 4 though.
@@andrewreiber7691 she was!! The movie within a movie beginning scene!
Its been awhile since i watched y'all. X-Men movies are some of my favorites Marvel films. Bro telling your wife about the wart's issue you had was hilarious 😂.
One of the best comic book movies ever, in my opinion because it is the best showcase of how the X-Men character’s personalities really are in the comic books. Edit: The only personality that wasn’t quite right in the movie is Rogue/Marie. Rogue is actually very independent and tough and she’s only really vulnerable with Wolverine and later on Gambit, her future husband, but that’s many, MANY comic book issues later. But man, do they carry on this very involved passionate relationship.
A very cool Avengers related fact from this universe is that Magneto is Scarlett Witch’s father, so Quicksilver her brother is his son as well. Magneto had a LOT of affairs with both mutant and human women over the years, so he has quite a few kids wandering around in this universe.
He is a Holocaust survivor and he lost his entire family in Auschwitz. The only reason Eric was spared was because the Nazis were fascinated by his mutant ability to manipulate any form of metal, and it is later on that Apocalypse, (an ancient bad ass villain you will meet in a later movie), enhances these powers to be able to tap into the very magnetosphere of the entire planet if the mood takes him. He has a daughter called Polaris who shares his powers, but I forget what else she can do.
My favorite X-Man is Cyclops. He has a great power, but needs the visor to control it. Because it's very limited in its use - blasting things - his real value to the group is as the leader. One of the great things about Marvel characters is that no one can do everything, and they work better as a group. And in that group, there needs to be someone to coordinate them, and know whose powers are best in which situation. He showcases that at the end, telling Storm to lift Logan, but knowing her wind isn't very precise, Jean needs to steady him. Logan goes up being great at close quarters and difficult to hurt, but Scott is there as the last resort to blast everything if all else fails. That's always the key puzzle to solve in every story, and the most powerful characters might not be the one who can get the job done. The same way that Black Widow and Hawkeye continue to prove their worth when there is Iron Man, Thor and the Hulk. And Cyclops is like the Captain America of the X-Man, keeping everyone organized and on mission. He can sometimes seem sullen and moody as a result, because he feels he has to live up to the expectations Charles placed on him. While Charles was comatose, Scott tells him something of this, where he will take care of the X-Men if needed - knowing full well he can't fill Charles' shoes.
Yay! I love the X-Men , and your fun reactions. ❤
The actor that plays toad is the same guy that played Darth maul
X-men are probably some of the most popular marvel comics out there. You’ll love their journey and they will enter the MCU at some point
