It still pisses me off that we never got Alan Cumming back as Nightcrawler, he was so freaking perfect!
I agree!
Der unglaubliche Nightcrawler 🎉
Agreed! 🙏🏽💪
That’s because of Brett Ratner
He is my favorite casting besides Hugh.. but he hated his experience with makeup.. and hes aged alot more for a character so agile like nightcrawler. You seen the show traitors.. i cant see that Cumming coming back lol
Rebecca Romjin is still the best Mystique. Perfect casting. The confidence in her body language, how she could carry herself wearing little more than body paint, was always on point.
She's a trooper. It's a lot of work for the scenes where she's blue, but I think they could have gone with her classic white costume to save Rebecca sooo much time in the chair. It always felt kinda pervy to have her be entirely naked all the time when she wears clothes in the comics 😅
The only problem with Jennifer Lawrence is she's not playing Mystique most of the time. She's playing Raven.
She’s the only Mystique
@@ninjabluefyre3815and the other problem is she’s not supposed to be the main character
She’s the MVP of the movies in terms of being constantly in the field talking on different missions. A real special ops mutant.
She got no rest from the first movie - no downtime. She was in deep cover in government and military from the first movie till the last.
I appreciate Achara recognizing that the healing factor is a prerequisite for the adamantium grafting.
I felt so bad for Lady Deathstrike. She was under mind control and when she “wakes up,” she’s dying
Right she didnt deserve this..
I doubt she's actually dead, technically. I mean, she is, but if enough of the excess adamantium in her body was removed, I bet she'd come back to life.
@@Tantalus010 Maybe, but if Logan is canon to this continuity, then the adamantium is poison to them, and will eventually overpower her healing factor. If she's endlessly drowning while filled to the brim with that stuff, she probably won't last very long anyways as the combination of both things will tax out her healing and kill her.
Plus she might've been the Yuriko Oyama who actually knew Logan.
pretty sure I saw her in the deadpool and wolverine trailer so she might get some redemption lol
The chemistry between Storm and Nightcrawler really gets me. Real bummer he couldn’t make it for the sequels.
what happened?
@@theawesomeman9821 Originally Nightcrawler was gonna appear in X-Men: The Last Stand, but the make up effects didn’t make the budget. Filmmakers ended up removing the character.
@@theawesomeman9821Mystique is his mother
@@supremedream1764it's crazy that its a budgetary issue since x2 was a box office hit.
Also, I don't think Alan got along with Bryan Singer. I think Bryan was still attached when Alan turned it down.
For Kristen:
Hugh Jackman told a story in an interview about doing a stage play where he played a bi character. When the story got to the place where he was supposed to kiss another man, as he leaned in a teenage guy's voice yelled from the audience "DON'T DO IT WOLVERINE ! ! !" 🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact: the same actor Aaron Stanford is returning to reprise his role as Pyro in Deadpool 3.
Just check - Love it :) The same as Azazel :)
Pretty sure he's been cast as James Cole instead.
Lady deathstrike Kelly Hu
Sabertooth from x1
And 🐸 as well
@prathapkutty7407 so Wade's going to be visiting the fox x-men trilogy movies. NICE
Fun fact: Nightcrawler and Rogue are siblings. Mystique is their mother
LOL How is that even possible?
Rogue is adopted
21:51 I'm not going to lie this is that cool I was going to say so the fact that Christian was trying to ship nightcrawler and mystique was already making me uncomfortable because nightcrawl is mystique's son
@@Jay_theartist19Made me uncomfortable as well.
Yeah, but if you don't know that, it's an innocent mistake. Some people just see that they're both blue and don't really put 2 and 2 together. Plus, they look like they're the same age in these movies, so it isn't very intuitive
lol I giggled too hard at “What are you a professor of?” … “Your mom” lol
Kristen's brain exploding after the Jean/Mystique reveal 🤯
🤣🤣🤣
Good to know she's very anti-cheating 👍
That moment that you both started dancing to Cyclops's music had me weak. It's messed up because they do Cyclops dirty in these movies. I remember in the theater, the entire crowd erupted with laughter at the moment.
The scene with Mystic and Night crawler is a deep cut for the fans. In the comics, she is his mother. It's a real shame that wasn't explored in later movies.
Just thank god for the animated series & X-Men 97 😂
31:30 Yeah, this is Yuriko Oyama, aka Lady Deathstrike! One of Wolverine's villians! In the comics, she's definitely not a mutant. She's a cyborg. She was also Wolverine'a ex fiance which is also sad because Wolverine really loved her. 😔🙏🏽
Rebecca Romjin is genetically gifted... the lady has aged amazingly, looks great in Star Trek.
She really is incredible :)
I wish they would've used her more. Famke, too.
her plastic surgeon said the same thing
also she was good in the Librarians
beautiful woman, and she only looks good in Star Trek because she's had plastic surgery done, and isn't one of the ladies that totally messed herself up doing such bodywork. She really doesn't look the same, but she isn't a plastic surgery monster like many other actresses turn themselves into.
Ladies , it's not cyclops that bad in this movie. It's just that writer didn't wanted to concentrate on him . They wanted Wolverine to lead .
That's what they said... he's written badly.
@@sproductionsincno thats not what they said
That is what they said @@prodigalfraudaddy
Lol well I’ll say it for them, he’s bad 😂 he’s a chump in these films. From his introduction to his death…total simp and wussy. And before anyone replies with the obvious, I know it’s because the writers wanted to place the focus more on Hugh/Logan.
@@EverydayWithBobby they could have made him a bad ass and still sideline him ,but they choose to make him all of the above you've mentioned. They could have written him like they wrote rody in iron man , dinjarin in madalorian , han solo or Luke Skywalker. Or like any other strong side character but they made him yukky
I don’t think I’ve ever heard Kristin swear, so that ending was phenomenal😂😂 also, we know achara has seen these movies, but this is one of those times that that’s ok, I love this pair off, and I hope cinepals keeps this throughout the franchise, we’re only two movies in but it’s been so fun watching them with these two!
Fun Fact: One idea during the Dark Cerebro scene was to cut to one mutant dropping cards to hint at Gambit.
During the Computer terminal with Mystique, Reme LaBou's name pops up
@@tonyyul703 Yep and Henry McCoy was on the news
Why isn't he at the school? Why is Rogue dating Bobby?
You'll love X-Men first class, Magneto and Charles' friendship is the main plot
Wolverine: "Who's this?"
Nightcrawler: [Gives name]
Wolverine: "Eh, save it."
Nightcrawler: uhhhh...you asked?
Asked for his name, not his life story.
@@cytorakdemonexactly
The irony being that in the original run of X-Men comics--despite being very different people--they became really good friends. One wonder if this franchise could have eventually showed that, but it wasn't to be.
What wonderfully reserved reactions from Achara.
Kristen's reactions on the other hand... :)
That's why they are fun to watch together 😂
She’s unhinged
This might be a hot take but X2 is one of best super hero movie ever made.
It's not a hot take . It's just been so long that people forgot this movie was so good
Yeah a lot of people love it but i prefer the first one as i love when Charles and Eric are fighting..their dynamic works so good and it wasnt really part of this one..dont get me wrong i love X-2 but X-Men 1 when i was a kid was everything after loving the animated series and then seeing the film..no Gambit though..wish he was part of the main films..
@@garydodd2837the problem is that 1 has aged visually, X2 still very watchable
Achara now knows what it feels like to us when we watch reaction videos. I knew she knew what was coming while Kristen was getting worked up during the tent scene.
Initially I didn’t like watching videos where one person has seen the movie while the other hasn’t. Then it clicked that they were in our position.
The opening scene with Nightcrawler will always be my favorite part of this movie
Absolutely the best reaction to the scene with Mystique screwing with Logan. 🤣
This is the best X-Men movie and one of the best comic books movies of all time. The opening scene alone is one of the best comic book movie opening scenes
Kristen's personality went full cookie monster mode in this
Nightcrawler grabbing Rogue straight out of freefall was soooooo sick first time I saw it, wooooooo!!! 😳🔥👊🏻 more I watch these again, I appreciate how damn good they were!!! CLASSIC!!
Every time I think Kristen is going to pick up on a point or hint, she pulls the rug right out from under me.
Seriously. Every single reaction, it's always the same.
Why do you keep watching then
She’s a trip
It says something about our society that the "good" characters are considered "weak", but it also speaks for how good the comics are written that the "villains" are so compelling.
Overly Sarcastic Productions has a really good taking down of the super dark antihero who doesn't have any qualms about murder and can get the job done without morals. It's kinda the reason I didn't like Black Adam that much.
@@ninjabluefyre3815 same. But tbh Black Adam had much simpler problems than his ability to kill with no remorse 😂
The tragedy is that Lady Deathstrike actually comes to her senses just before she dies. You can see her eyes become normal. If the fight had only lasted 5 more seconds she would have joined Wolverine.
Think the intense pain of the adamantium injection is what snapped her out of it. Cyclops needed a pretty hard hit to come back round.
Equally rough is you can see the moment Wolverine realizes she's regained herself.
I'm not sure she would have, throughout the characters run for the most part she absolutely loaths Logan and wants to end him the mind control is added for the movie but even without it she wants him on the end of her claws.
@@IAmHavok These films did change a lot, so that might have changed as well.
I mean, Colossus isn't Russian here.
I believe it was the pain that brought her out of it. Nightcrawler immediately snapped out of it when he got shot in the arm, Cyclops snapped out of it when Jean used his powers against him and then Deathstrike when Wolverine stabbed her with the injector
Kristen it is based off of racism. This was created during the 60's during the civil rights movement. In Stan lee interviews he talks how he patterned Professor X, & Magneto off of Martin Luther king, & Malcolm X, & wanted to make a statement about what was going on in the culture at the time. Marvel Comics always relected what was going on at the time.I grew up in the 70's, & collected these comics from then to now.
"Is that a Red flag? I'm going to run at it like a bull" lol!🤣
Female nature lol
In the comics Mystic and wolverine shared a past together as both of them are immortal and they were also once lovers. Lady Deathstrike was also a former lover of Logan his fiance in fact. The movies missed a huge opportunity in not alluding to that and going into their past.
Kristen's reaction to Jean cheating is worth a rewatch. Protect Kristen at all costs.
Wolverine's hair style and mutton chops aren't a cosmetic choice he makes when he gets out of bed and out of the shower every morning. It's a side effect of his mutation. He's almost animal-like, with heightened senses and hunting ability, similar to a wolf.
Yeahhh but it still looks really bad in all of Hugh’s depictions except The Wolverine and DoFP 😂 he looks like Ace Ventura lmao
Alrighty then 😂
Cyclops got done dirty in the movies
Extremely lol I use to hate how they made wolverine the center in all the movies but I love Hugh jackman now but I hope the MCU redeems cyclops like they’re doin in xmen 97
From badass team leader to 'Wolverine likes my girl ☹'
Only the animated series do him justice.
Extremely! So glad the animation exists.
I was born in 1999 so i got familiar with X-men from 3 different source at the same time, because they still repeated the old x-men animated on Fox Kids, then we got the movies, and X-men Evolution on Cartoon Network. First I hated Cyclops, but Evolution really made me like him, that show did justice I feel.
Not just cyclops, rogue got done the dirtiest, the worst, rogue is more powerful than most of the main xmen like bryan gave us like 3 good movies but still failed to understand the xmen characters and not give us the original yellow comic costumes.
Y'all. It's truly okay to pause the movie to fully react to a moment. Please. Because when you don't, you miss other moments that we'd love to see you react to. Perfect example in the Mystique/Wolverine interaction followed by the Magneto/Rogue interaction. The former stepped on the latter, which was a pretty chewy character scene on the heels of the first movie and you weren't even watching.
Just a suggestion, I'm not trying to be a butt about it.
I absolutely love watching the reaction videos that feature Kristen. I love how animated she gets when she gets excited about something. Best kind of person to watch a movie with,IMO
In the comics, Mystique is actually Nightcrawler's mother, but they changed it for the movies, so that's why they had that nice moment between them where she gives him nice advice and confidence.
And the lady with the long adamantium fingernails is Lady Deathstrike from the comics. In the comics, she had more of a Samurai outfit and she had soem cybernetic implants, but they changed this again for the movies.
She's a very cool villain in the comics.
These two are so funny and great together and they really need to do loads more together!! Just brilliant!!😆😅🤣😂😋🤪😝😘🤩😍🥰❤👏🙌🙏👍🎉
I think the reason why everyone sleeps on Cyclops in Singers movies is because He's so underplayed and undervalued, for a character so integral to the main X-men it's a travesty. Wolverine isn't the only bloody X-man, but for the future of the series, even to date with Deadpool 3, it's as if He's the only one that exists lol (Purely because of Jackman).
If anyone has the right to call themselves THE X MAN it's Cyclops as he was practically the first.
X2 is definitley the best of the original Xmen trilogy in my opinion so much darker perfectly cast and the scene with Magneto escaping and Logan in the room where they performed the Weapon X procedure on him and his ensuing battle with Lady Deathstryke (Chefs kiss) you guys had me laughing so much in th8s video awesome reaction Ladies 😊
Fun fact: In the comics, Mystique is the biological "father" to Nightcrawler. Or so I heard. Comics can be fricking CRAZY!!!
They have changed Kurt's parentage a few times. Mystique is his 'father/donor' and Destiny gestates him in the current lore. Good on him having two moms 😅
@@LordVolkov Mystique and Destiny being Nightcrawler's biological parents was the original plan from Chris Claremont (Creator of the three of them), but couldn't see it through at the time of writing because of the Comic Code Authority
Second tease of Jubilee sitting next to the Professor at the end! 🎇🎆
Cool names for Kristen in addition to Bobby Drake/Iceman:
Mystique = Raven Darkholm
Nightcrawler = Kurt Wagner
Yuriko Oyama = Lady Deathstrike ("Oyama" means "great mountain" or "great castle"
Kitty Pryde = Shadowcat
Theresa Rourke = Siryn
Victor Creed = Sabertooth (from the first "X-Men")
Mystique was just trying to see if ALL of Wolverines "Bones" are indestructible 😉 lol
Damn 😂😂😂
hard as adamantium.
@@eolsunder 😂😂😂
The Wolverine character was created, in the comic books, to be the villain Weapon X. But we readers loved him so much MARVEL changed him into a bad boy "good guy".
The thing most people, including myself don't get in the first time seing this movie is why Jean sacrifice herself. Why se didn't do all that inside the Jet? Thats because she's afraid. In the begining of the movie, during Scott and Jean's converstion at the museum, it was said that her powers had grown and tha she was diferent after the battle in the last movie, with Jean saying that she's afraid that something terrible gonna happend. There's a deleted scene in the extende cut that we see her drifiting away during the flight and starts controling the Jet changing it's course without even realising she's doing it. She has the glowing eyes and a look of joy on her face by realising the growth of her powers, scaring the others and herself. When Jean snaps out of it, she looks away in shame. That's why she do it. Because she knew her powers where growing beyond her control and she was afraid of what she could become and that it would hurt her friends.
Wolverine vs Lady Deathstrike was awesome 😊
In the Golden Age of Marvel on film, this was one of the best sequels.
The first time we had multiple releases for Marvel-based films in the same year.
X2:X-Men United (the original title) was after Daredevil and before Hulk.
Such an incredible progression of story.
Most us who knew the comics had an idea of what was coming.
Meanwhile, newfound fans who loved the first film could only imagine what was coming.
The actions of the gifted, good or bad are magnificently made and nerdgasms for everyone wanting more.
But of course, the underline story of discrimination and tolerance in an fantastical world still comes through.
The ending did indeed break hearts.
But like i said, we as the fans knew what we saw right before credits rolled.
X3:The Last Stand (2006) is considered controversial.
You'll have to see why for yourselves.
Spider-Man and Blade II both came out in 2002, but I do remember 2003 being the first time we could start to visualize what a potential Infinity War movie could look like.
21:45 That would be weird since Mystique is Nightcrawler's mom. Well, technically she's his father 😅
Jean Grey is a member of a subspecies of humans known as mutants who are born with superhuman abilities. She was born with psionic powers. The character has also been known as Marvel Girl, Phoenix, and Dark Phoenix at various points in her history. Various incarnations of Jean Grey.
What's more disturbing is Lady Deathstrike; the Asian lady who fought logan isn't dead. Like Logan, has a healing factor and just injected molten metal...In essence she is alive, permanently paralyzed and will probably never die.
I had such a crush on Rebecca Romain. She's a model turned actress and such a beautiful woman. She's my favorite version of Mystique yet.
I don't think I've ever seen Achara laugh so much due to a coworker. :D
In the comics, Mystique is Nightcrawler's mom. That's where the 'blue' comes from.
If the movies did Rogue right then she could have done major damage against the bad guys. Instead they make her kinda there but barely doing anything. The biggest thing I can think of is when she moves the X Jet
22:33 lol 😂🤣
For me, this is still the best superhero movie, period! I absolutely love every single scene!
15:21 achara got jokes lol 😂🤣
The remark by Achara was so true, not at all Jabby. Ayo!
😁
@@Irohdad ikr lol 😂🤣
Poor jaby
17:24
every time he
SHOVES IT IN Y'KNOW
that would be really creepy because mystique.. is nightcrawlers biological mother...😂😂😂
Does anyone wanna talk about how Boyscout Scott Summers listens to Justin Timberlake whenever him and Jean Grey get into an argument 😂
People kept forgetting that X men franchise is good and a hit back then
0:40 Mozart rocks! 👍👍👍
21:48 "Well, cause they're both blue..." 😂😂😂
22:13 I had to go back and see Achara's pre-reaction to Kristen. lol
3:00 Me too, Achara! ❤
12:02 Mystique gave him iron pills to basically put a lot of iron in the guard's blood so Magneto could take him oyt.
22:19 Achara's face holing it in...
22:34 Both Achara's and Kristen's reactions were BRILLIANT!!😂😂😂
44:41 I can't wait until to see Kristen's reaction to the casting for the prequels. Not privy to her TV/movie viewing beyond this channel, but we all know which characters I am referencing. 😊
The blonde is funny, and I like her Jean and Wolverine takes. She should watch X-Men 97 and get an actual comic accurate look at the X-Men
You see in these X-MEN movies people always complain about Hugh Jackman being too tall but to me he is freakin Wolverine bub
He IS Wolverine, period. That being said, I still think the movies focused way too much on him. I get him being kind of a cypher for the audience in that first movie, but I did dislike how much the other X-Men essentially played second-fiddle to him.
@@thedefinitionisthis It's definitely because of Hugh & not the character himself.
It's being too tall for Wolverine that makes the love triangle work 😅
If he was 5'3" looking up at Famke Janssen and speaking with a Canadian accent it'd never play 🤣🤣🤣
1:08 Fun Fact: Did you guys know that when Wolverine was introduced as a villain/anti-hero? He was one of Hulk's biggest enemies back than. Later on, he joined the X-Men as you already know and than join the Avengers! However, X-Men is his main team! 🙏🏽💪
It wasn't Jean's power that broke the damn, that was Scott. The amount of force behind his beams is immensely destructive. Jean just happened to make it blast outward all over.
well it could be either. Yes she blocked then disrupted his beam, but the damage could be from either his blasts being reflected, or her power physically breaking his blast.
this was my fave of the original trilogy, i just loved the addition of all the new characters.
Was literally on this channel couple hours ago wondering when this was coming. Achara you’re great. Kristen. You have my heart ❤️ ❤
Fun fact,The actress who played Lady Drathstrike, Kelly Hu, voiced Devorah in the mortal kombat games and also voiced Li Mei in MK1. She is also the face model of both Li Mei and Sindel in MK1.
Bobby: Just kiss me, it won't hurt
Bobby 10 seconds later: 😵💫😵💫😵💫
The opening scene with Nightcrawler is so fucking cool
1 of the best
Rebecca Romain was an icon back in the day. So many of us were beyond excited to see her play mystique she didn’t disappoint.
Just like Terminator 2, X2 is the sequel that built upon and surpassed the original!
She'll be like what the hell seeing the Dark Phoenix repeats.
Seeing women THIS excited for X-men movies and characters, especially Mystique, makes me SO happy. It gives me so much hope for the MCU'a X-men having kickass female characters. I am also LIVING for these throwback reaction videos! ❤❤❤
Another comic book film featuring Rebecca Romijn is the 2004 version of The Punisher. The actress playing Lady Deathstrike, Kelly Hu, is also in The Scorpion King
I briefly knew artist Dave Cockrum. I talked with him shortly after this movie came out. He created night crawler. He hated the whole tattoos/ religious bit used in this movie.
1:04 My second favorite superhero of all time!!!! My man Wolverine!!!! 🙏🏽💪
In the comics, Nightcrawler is actually the son of Mystique and another mutant who will remain unnamed as you haven't met them yet 😈🤘
One of the most iconic openings and they skipped through it bruh.
14:31 -
Rogue: "Hey Pyro, can i absorb your powers to put a stop to this unnecessary death and destruction you're causing?"
Pyro: "No, i want to keep going!"
Rogue: "Okay, I won't absorb your powers because i dont have your consent. Carry on!"
hes, nightcrawler, admiring her and also shes inadvertently teaching him a mothers lesson. she may be crazy but she is also his mom/bio-parent in comics hence the blue. His other parent is a mutant named destiny and his adoptive sister is rogue.
In the comics, Cap respects Cyclops' skill as a leader and tactician quite a bit. And without Cap, everyone else would look to Cyclops.
"Wolverine"
Kristen's got a bit of a point XD. In the films, what really made Wolverin so outstanding wasn't exactly his animalistic character, but just how Hugh Jackman portrayed it, giving the character more depth than some people may have granted to it. It's not uncommon in the comics they go only for his animalistic side and those (full of R rated material) could be off putting for general and not familiar audiences (it doesn't have everyone's cup of tea); what makes Wolverine great is a mixture between the conflict his animalistic side creates and the path he has ahead of him with the X-Men.
The films opened the door to have a good balance of both (so much so, even as films went on, nobody really hated Hugh Jackman's performance but the quality of the scripts).
"The love triangle"
Oh, my god; you have to eventually show Kristen X-Men/X-Men 97. She is going to be fuming with the the half a dozen underlying soap opera plots X-Men has XD. Also, it's a good way to see how classic Cyclops really is; I don't think the films intended to diminish him, but he was lost in translation as this "leader" character that had little room to grow (and they reduced him to be this episodic character that really doesn't do too much or talk too much) in front of a Wolverine that has this huge arc in front of him from being a lone wolf to a team player.
They just didn't know what to do with Cyclops in the point they picked him for this adaptations (and that's clearly visible in X-Men 97: he is a good leader, and still has a ton of things to learn and figure out, he is not perfectly standing in the background, by any means).
"Magneto"
Indeed, Magneto's activism isn't that bad; the problems come when his methods eventually rationalize that "if we can't live togheter... well, we can always kill them until they submit" (and I think Kristen would love and have a lot to think from a certain event at the UN). Also his crusade rationalizes several things that could harm mutants in specific scenarios, but that could (potentially) benefit the collective and that opens the moral question if the goals justify the means, or some means should be skipped, even if they mean some form of "quicker" path to the goal.
And, in this particular case, Ian McKellen gives an amazing performance as Magneto.
Nice reaction, and see you in the next one.
Mystique can only imitate humans. However, on one occasion she did turn into what was probably a half humanoid alien or some other species in the comics.
I've seen this or a reaction to it about 8 times now. I think around #4 I started to realize I love it so much because it's the Mystique & Magneto show haha. Glad you two appreciate them so much!
I think Kristen gonna love X2 and DANG KRISTEN HAIR IS ALWAYS ON POINT 💯🔥🔥
Mystique is actually Nightcrawler’s aka Kurt’s mother, the father was actually a red looking demon who could also teleport.
AKA : Azazel 🔥
She's his "father" actually. Having transformed into a man to conceive him with her long time lover, Destiny.
@@Tpm12luv Like those who ignore the 5th India Jones movie, and/or 4th one, and the Star Wars sequels I’m ignoring that. A pointless retcon overall. These movies came out way before that anyway.
@@ghostspider2056 It's a retcon of a retcon. Mystique being the father and Destiny being the mother of Nightcrawler was Chris Claremont's original plan (Creator of the three of them), but the Comic Code Authority prevented him from seeing it through during his time of writing for them
@@Tpm12luv Doesn’t make it a good retcon. It also doesn’t matter if it was the original idea when it’s been years after the fact, contradicting various plot points. Lots of people have several initial ideas when telling a story, but bringing them in after a long established history just makes it unnecessarily convoluted.
This is easily a top 10 superhero movie of all time!
36:08 Once actually. He used to be one of Hulk's dangerous foes. But being an X-Men helped him become a hero! 🙏🏽💪
Always enjoy with Achara and Kristen team ups. The whole nude Mystique is largely a creation for these movies. She does have a cool costume in the comics, which I guess is technically just her skin that looks like clothes. Though, I always wondered. If she mimics someone in a jacket or hat, what happens if she has to take it off or hang it up?
I can understand why Jennifer Lawrence wasn’t a fan of all the makeup required to try and do the nude Mystique in later movies. That’s a lot more work than you’d imagine.
For the longest time, Mystique was Nightcrawler’s biological mother and Rogue’s adopted mother. However, recently it was retconned that Mystique is Nightcrawler’s biological father with her lover Destiny. Which was the original plan in the beginning but couldn’t get that approved at the time. They never touched that relationship in these movies.
Bruh I just watched Kristen's bawling her eyes out in their reaction to the planets of the apes. And now seeing her reaction to this movie is so hilarious 😂
There is a moment between Mystique and Nightcrawler because that's his Mother( in the books,he is also Rouge's brother...)
I wonder if Alan Cumming knows the extent of the influence portrayal of Nightcrawler had on American culture? Likewise I will say without spoiling anything Kelsey Grammer as Beast if nothing else went right there was the best portrayal of that character. I recall Kelsey in an interview stating he had never heard of X-Men but absolutely enamored with the idea of that character and world.
I also listened to an interview with Alan Cumming and Rebecca Romijn. They were asked many questions about the costumes and prosthetics they wore. When asked if he wore anything under the costume Alan responded "Nothing but my cockring!" So aside this stellar performance that is probably what I will always remember him for.
Kristen, unfortunately while you were energetically reacting to the Mystique/Logan romp, you missed the part when he finds the 3 scars he gave her while fighting on Liberty Island the previous movie.
Kristen rooting for Magneto and Mystique will hit harder if you watch the prequels. Magneto is the MVP of those four movies.
