A wolverine isn't a wolf, it's like a big weasel. It's a vicious little beast that's highly territorial, and it's mean enough to chase away a bear. In the comics, Logan is only about 5'4, so it fits.
Yes, and Wolverine's tend to smell pretty foul, and steal from everyone else in those regions of the world. They have been known to take down polar bears, which is saying something since nobody survives that. I still laugh inside when Deadpool referenced comic book accurate Wolverine.
I’d heard that Hugh Jackman didn’t know what a Wolverine was when he was hired, and he first started to act like a wolf, and they had to tell him no, that’s not it.
@@leoda_lion4107 Logan/Wolverine definitely has the "smelly" part covered, all that body hair, plus all that drinking, smoking, and the 100+ years of living on the road, even the X-Men WITHOUT superhuman senses of smell should've been able to smell the difference between Mystique and the real deal.
@@alexthorpe6583 It's worse than that. NO ONE involved in these films knew what a wolverine was until after X-Men Origins: Wolverine. So at that point it was at least three or four movies in with everyone having this very fundamental misunderstanding, culminating in a character who should definitely have known better delivering a soliloquy about why wolverines howl at the moon. The cringe was very real.
During this time, the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man were the face of Marvel, starting from the '60s. By the '80s and '90s, the X-Men had reached unprecedented levels of popularity. X-Men #1 (1991) remains the best-selling single-issue comic of all time, highlighting the height of "X-Men mania". In the '90s, the X-Men dominated not just comics but also expanded into video games, arcades, and animation. X-Men: The Animated Series became one of the most influential cartoons ever, introducing the team to a new generation of fans. For a time, the X-Men even surpassed Spider-Man in popularity and sales. This all changed with the rise of the MCU, starting with Iron Man (2008). The Phase 1 movies reshaped Marvel's image, making The Avengers household names. Back then, Marvel couldn’t legally use the X-Men, Spider-Man, or Fantastic Four to begin their new shared universe, so they took a gamble on lesser-known heroes like Iron Man and built the MCU around The Avengers instead. The Avengers and their individual members were well-known among comic book fans but were largely unfamiliar to the general audience, with the exception of the Hulk and, to a lesser extent, Thor, who were the only two relatively well-known characters at the time. For many people introduced to Marvel through the MCU, the Avengers became synonymous with the Marvel brand. As a result, the X-Men were often not recognized as part of Marvel, with some people even unaware that they were Marvel characters at all, associating the brand solely with the MCU. The same applies to the Fantastic Four, officially Marvel's First Family, who, in the eyes of many, were not seen as part of Marvel due to their lack of connection to the MCU. Anything outside the MCU was simply perceived as being unrelated to Marvel altogether by these new Marvel fans. To many people, the idea of the X-Men crossing over with the Avengers felt as outlandish as Star Wars crossing over with Star Trek. In their minds, these worlds were entirely separate, with no connection. However, in the comics, the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Avengers all coexist within the same universe. Spider-Man has a long history with the Fantastic Four, Wolverine has ties to Captain America and even joined the New Avengers, and Storm was married to Black Panther. The X-Men and Fantastic Four also played pivotal roles in major Marvel storylines, including The Infinity War.
What other commenters said about Mystique is true; she's a shapeshifter with the ability to mimic anyone, but she can't gain their powers. Wolverine/Logan's claws are adamantium, which is a virtually unbreakable metal. Mystique was able to mimic the claws, but not what theyre made of. So, when Logan sliced her "claws" off, that's why she screamed.
X-Men...the timeline is messy; the writing across the movies is inconsistent; the characters aren't always true to themselves from the comics nor the other movies... But boy howdy do I still love this franchise anyway!! The X-Men is what got me into superheros as a kid and these live-action movies were a blast growing up. Enjoy the ride!
Some characters are impossible to translate completely from a comic to a film, even Kevin Feige has said that things that work in print don’t work in real life like Hawkeyes costume
The X-Men, in 1963, by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby are often seen as a metaphor for racism and the Civil Rights Movement. The way mutants are feared, hunted, and discriminated against reflects the struggles Black Americans faced during the Jim Crow era. Professor Xavier and Magneto even parallel Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X's opposing approaches to equality. Technically speaking, X-Man is the Wolverine guy. He´s called the Weapon X, and he's, in fact, a man.
The "beast", as you call him, is named Sabertooth. Mystique is only able to take on the appearance of someone, not their powers. She was able to take on Wolverines claws because it's still an appearance when they're out. The yellow spandex that Cyclopes was referring to was what they wore when they were first created in the comics.
The director for this film did not want the cast to cater or copy the look and feel of the characters from the comics. That are wearing black because the executives at FOX saw and thought that Black costumes would work for this movie since Black attire worked for The Matrix when it came out.
I love *most* of these X-Men movies, but it’s worth noting that the films aren’t the best adaptations. At the time, studios were unsure if audiences would embrace the colorful, larger-than-life elements of the comics, so they toned things down alot and removed asspects that felt too much for audiences of the time. Comic books were even banned on set, but Kevin Feige, now President of Marvel Studios, secretly brought comics onto set for the actors to read and pushed for more accurate costumes, though his ideas were largely ignored. To fit early 2000s trends, the X-Men wore black leather uniforms influenced by *The Matrix* (1999). Characters were also changed: Rogue became a younger, less powerful runaway, losing her Southern charm and superpowers she stole from Ms. Marvel, aka Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers). Iceman, originally one of the first X-Men in the comics, was made a teenager who joined the team later, while Cyclops and Jean remained among the first students. The films focus heavily on Wolverine while sidelining characters like Storm, Rogue, and Cyclops. Cyclops, in particular, lost his role as the X-Men’s leader, frustrating comic fans. However, the recent *X-Men '97* (2024) has restored Cyclops' leadership and given neglected characters more attention, winning over fans of the films who never cared for certain character prior to X-Men '97. X-Men '97 is honestly one of the best Marvel projects since Infinity War, peak X-Men. Despite the changes, the movies still offer a good introduction to the X-Men for those new to the franchise. Theres just better takes on the X-Men and their world in animation and comics.
Forgot to men but X-Men '97 has nothing to do with the X-Men films or the MCU. It's an animated series set within the '90s Marvel Animated Universe, acting as a follow up to the X-Men: Animated Series (1992 - 1997) which ended on a cliffhanger. It's by Marvel Animation, a division of Marvel Studios but it's not set within the MCU. But it will most likely be the inspiration for the MCU X-Men whenever Marvel gets around to introducing Mutants to the MCU.
Great Reaction...... Stan Lee came up with idea for mutants.... to LOOSELY quote him " You can only have so many Lab Accidents, Bites by radiactive animals or Aliens.... How about we just have some that have a random gene that gives different powers to each one"........ And the X-Men comic was first released in Sept 1963, and was the first comic with Mutants........ BTW....... the First X-Men Costume everyone wore Yellow and Blue tights (spandex) type suit........
I was lucky, I grew up on the X-Men comics on the late 80s and early 90s, during its peak period, and initially when this movie came out I was simply excited to see it in live action. We got incredibly lucky to have heavyweights in the form of Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen to play their roles, and whilst it was somewhat muted in color/tone and not comic accurate, it made up for it by taking seriously the political / moral angle that the comics often explored. Magneto depicts the road we should not take of vengeance and ruthlessness, and Xavier depicts the stark neccessity of balance in moral choices.
Another fantástica reaction, Stef! 🥰 I couldn’t help but think about your stream yesterday and the way you opened up about dealing with haters and negative comments when something doesn’t click right away or if something you say doesn’t make sentido to some people. I just want to remind you that your real fans love those momentos auténticos! That’s what makes your reactions so divertida y genuina to watch. Most of us have already seen and loved these movies, So the joy comes from seeing how vos experimentás them for the first time. And honestly, sos increíble at connecting the dots-often faster than most would! Watching you piece things together is lo mejor. ❤ It’s tough, but I hope you can tune out the negativity. The haters will always find something to complain about, but the rest of us are here for your reacciones auténticas y una personalidad maravillosa. Keep being you-we love it! 💕
if you ever watch the bloopers for this movie there is a great take when Toby's Spider-man runs onto set because they were filming both movies at the same time they could only use it as a blooper because Spider-man is Sony's IP and they would of had to pay for a little cameo but Spider-man is technically a mutant and has crossover with the X-men on several occasions
Spider-Man did not get his powers because of the X-gene, so he is not a mutant. From Screen Rant: "In Marvel terminology, Spider-Man is actually a mutate - someone whose genetic structure was altered by an outside force, rather than a mutant born with the X-gene. Mutates are incredibly common in Marvel comics, with examples including Spidey villains Electro and Sandman, as well as allies Captain America and the Hulk."
No spider man is a mutate cause he got his powers from being exposed to an outside source mutants on the other hand are born with their abilities because of the x-gene.
@@sora2k05 watch the old X-men and Spider-Man series from the 90s they will say otherwise but yes X-gene=mutant but they have had people with dormant X-genes awakened by outside influences like the spider bite could have
This movie pretty much got people to take superhero movies seriously again. After 1997's goofy Batman & Robin bombed critically and commercially, most studios didn't wanna touch superheroes anymore. But when X-Men came out in 2000, it showed audiences that superhero stories can be about more than "good guys vs. bad guys" and selling toys to kids. The X-Men story is basically inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, but the messages and meanings can be applied to any marginalized group, the intolerance they experience, and their struggle for acceptance in society. And Kevin Feige - the mastermind of the Marvel Cinematic Universe - got his start as an Associate Producer on the X-Men films. So we very much would not have the MCU without the success of the X-Men movies.
You’re gonna have fun watching all the xmen movies. They get kind of confusing because the timeline jumps around. But it’s well worth it leading up to Deadpool and wolverine.
I dont want to ruin anything... But X2 is one of the best comic based movies ever made. Can't wait for you to watch the opening scene. Its one of the best intros to a movie... Not just superhero movies. The franchise goes up and down. But the 2nd one is a very good flick. Saw it at a midnight showing back in the day with a packed theater... Everyone was in awe within 5 minutes!
I still remember seeing this in Theaters and how excited and nervous I was seeing live action. I grew up watching the animated show when I was in elementary and middle school. The X-Men has always been grounded in reality and based on social issues. You had a great reaction to this and I look forward to seeing your future X-Men universe reactions. While there are definitely some movies that are noticeably better than others, all are enjoyable for the most part and add to the series. I hope you eventually find your way to the 90's animated series and then X-Men '97.
Mystique copies the physical aspects of people, and the physical powers of Mutants visually but retains her physicality (for lack of a better term) as we saw in her fight against Logan. And since she can't get it down to the DNA and Logan was able to literally sniff her out, she does have some weaknesses with her power.
Mystique can look like other mutants, but she can't replicate their powers. The claws are still part of Wolverine's physical body so she will still get those. They don't have the special metal though. Wolverine is one of my favorite Marvel characters. His powers and story are really cool. Hugh Jackman was perfect casting. I hope you enjoy the rest of the movies.
Yes mystique can shapeshift but she’s usually limited to somewhat humanoid shapes. Simple extensions like claws or fangs are possible but obviously she can’t copy Wolverine’s healing powers and her claws are fragile.
Its fun to watch someone discover this universe for the first time. Specifically Wolverine, you’re in for a emotional rollercoaster with his character arc.
20:50 he can levitate cause of the electromagnetism in the air particles and of cause he move,warp and sometimes heat metal to give it a fluid or liquid shape.. Yup 22:33 yep 👍😅 Magneto is straight up savage
He'll yeah! Get hooked girl! You're in for a treat, these cool characters inspired a generation for young people that felt out of place. Stan Lee was genius and gave heart as well as realism to super heroes, amazing stuff! 🫠🕸
Great reaction as always! I could tell that you really liked the movie within the first 10 minutes. Wolverine's mutant powers are an extreme healing factor and a heightened sense of smell. Regarding Mystique, she is a gene-shifter that can change her cells to perfectly imitate the form and voice of any human, humanoid or semi-humanoid. Also, she is a trained assassin and a master in martial arts. She does not acquire the mutant ability of someone she imitates.
Mystique doesn’t get their powers. During her fight with Logan, she basically shapeshifted into a form with the claws out, a purely physical change, but Logan’s claws could still cut through hers because hers weren’t the real deal.
I get not knowing about the movie specifically but being shocked at the depth of lore, these characters were written back in the 60’s and there story’s have been worked over and over, refined and sharpened.
Growing up in the 90's rogue was one of my favorites. Can't remember how far you are in the marvel journey but she completely absorbs miss marvels powers and she has super strength and flight in the comics. Miss marvel is essentially captain marvel from the MCU. I always wanted to see rogue fully powered in live action because she is such a cool character with a unique and sort of tragic gift being unable to enjoy physical contact with other people. You may consider reacting to the 90's xmen cartoon and the disney relaunch xmen 97 that just came out.
Stef, for someone like me who I got into the superheroes universe in the 80s when I was a child and I watched all superhero-themed movies and TV series since then, it's endearing to see someone like you, with zero knowledge about it (it's a compliment to you, believe me). You can do something that I don't: to live it by first time, to see it with unfamiliar eyes, to discover a lot of new things. I hope your journey will be great. Mine it was.
Wolverine's main power is his healing factor, but a side effect of that is that he also has heightened senses. He can identify and track someone by scent alone. That was how he knew that it was Mystique approaching him and not Storm. And yes, the comic book costume that Wolverine typically wears is bright yellow with black accents. You can see Hugh Jackman wearing it in "Wolverine & Deadpool". It was the first time in over two decades of playing the role that he actually wore his comic book accurate costume
I like that you liked the world aspect. I grew up on X-Men stuff. The cartoons and eventually started looking at comic books (these were on racks at my grocery stores and it's that or crochet magazines). It's even larger in scope there though will be in later X-Men films to a world wide geopolitical situation including many working parts and factions. That is a big part of the appeal of the X-Men franchise I think. That and the realism where they are under thumb in society. It isn't the usual superhero fare where godly powered people exist or nukes with emotions if you will and simply run around doing whatever they please with utter impunity. And 2-dimensional citizens pointing up them in the sky "Look! It's Theme Guy!". Where this is more realistic. In a jealous world that outwardly asses potential threats to it's own longevity this is what you would get. Distrust in the differently abled (yes, this is a big metaphor) partly bred in humanity itself and an innate knowledge that it can happen to anyone. We have non-powered factions being equal players in our plot and those who would exploit the powered, military is emphasized of course. And in fighting among the powered as well. All driven by class warfare and generally to one individuals benefit or another. And the core which is then the dueling ideologies of MLK Jr. (Xavier) and Malcom X (Lehnsherr) as to what will put the species in a better position in society. I think that's a good summary and why it is such a great concept that the entertainment industry put so much resources into it for decades now. You can also look at modern comic book superhero films like Avengers and Superman and see where they started to infuse those politics and drama into their stories as well. Different and therefore unexpected as you put it which is what is entertaining about it. The kind of stuff you can think about going back into real life and the world.
Good Reaction! 🖒 Watched this in theaters on opening weekend with my cousin ages ago. Liked the movie just as much then as now. Can't wait to see the upcoming reactions for the X-Men sequels completing the original trilogy!
Dear Stef: You should view the xmen movies in order X1, X2-United, Xmen Origins, X3-Last Stand, The Wolverine, First Class, Days of Future Past, Xmen Apocalypts, LOGAN. ....And you should make sure you watch the Post Credit Scenes, there's very important information to be found in them. When it comes time to view Xmen Origins PLEASE do it with an open mind, do not listen to all the hate, and you just might be impressed.
Whether you grew up watching the original series or are discovering the X-Men for the first time, X-Men 97 is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates great animation and compelling storytelling. The first original X-Men were In 1963's monumental UNCANNY X-MEN #1, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced "Cyclops, Marvel Girl (Jean Grey), Beast, Iceman, and Angel" to the world and transformed pop culture as we know it.
Yup, so as Marvel fans, we basically started off with "Blade" (1999), "X-Men" (2000), and "Spider-Man" (2002). The second Blade (2002), the second X-Men (2003), and the second Spider-Man (2004). We had new Marvel movies, with "The Fantastic Four" in 2005 and the "Ghost-Rider" in 2007, and both had sequels. Toss in a third Blade movie and Spider-Man again, and then the two Andrew Garfield "Amazing Spider-Man" films, the first Hulk film, and the continuing X-Men, and we had a fair bit of Marvel before the MCU started with "Iron Man" in 2008.
I think you would be interested in looking into the back story of all these characters. Here's one, Wolverine and Sabertooth are brothers. Also the black leather design of the outfits was inspired by The Matrix. They believed that the black leather look would also help X-Men become a more successful film.
Idk when, if ever, you plan on picking the MCU back up, but I highly recommend making it through all of these movies before you move to Phase 5 of the MCU. The Wolverine solo movies (which include Logan) and the Deadpool movies IN PARTICULAR are essential, and not just because of the charismatic leads.
@@Jmacc27 Yeah, I definitely wouldn’t go as far as he did to call it “garbage”. There’s some rough patches, but overall Shang Chi, Black Panther 2, Wandavision, What If, and ESPECIALLY Loki and Moon Knight are worthy entries to the series.
Mystique can change into other mutants, but she can’t copy their powers. For example, if she changes into Cyclops, she can’t shoot his eye beams. She’s able to copy Wolverine’s claws because they are a part of his person.
Cyclops' eyes are portals to another dimension that exists as nothing but concussive force (no heat, no flame). The only things that defeat the force are his eyelids and the ruby quartz plate in his visor. In this film, there's a dial on the side of the visor to adjust the beam angle more narrowly or widely. By practicing, Cyclops can improve his aim and accuracy. If he cuts loose with the full force of the beam, he can hurt or knock over even very strong heroes and villains.
In short, X-MEN is another chapter of the MARVEL series (you may also see cameos of STAN LEE during these movies). You will find that X-MEN is a journey in itself (especially with the MANY characters) in MARVEL.
Not sure if you noticed, but the actor who played Magneto, Sir Ian McKellen, is also known for another iconic role he played: Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings.
Mystique can turn into other humans and mutants but she doesnt get their abilities, she can turn into wolverine but her claws arent anamatium like his is. Logan has the ability to smell someone scent that is why he knew mystique was acting as storm
When it comes to movies, a lot of times they have multiple things to touch on to the point where the relationships between characters gets neglected when making a movie, especially when you have so many characters that need screen time. In some ways tv shows are better when it comes to getting to know characters especially when there used to be 20+ episodes per season because you have more time to get to know the characters & their relationships. Did you recognize Magneto as Gandalf from Lord of the Rings? There are so many different Mutants with different abilities that anything is possible.
Sabretooth real name is Victor Creed. He and Logan ran away together as kids, fought together in multiple wars and had each others backs until Victor started liking the killing part too much. You‘ll find this out in the upcoming sequel‘s. Cheers
Once you have a chance to watch it, the X-Men 97 series actually gives a better sense of the X-Men and Mutants in general than the movies do (as much as I love some of the X-Men movies).
Man, that intro was great. I've never heard of somebody thinking X-men was 1 dude x'd Its ok, that's the whole point of the channel right, to get to know more about movies and stuff. Maybe throw some questions outthere like, which power would U like? Omg i hadn't been here in a while. I had forgoten how expresive you are, es tan divertido hahaha Me encanta A bit of trivia: Stan Lee created the mutants so that he could have an "easy-go-to" for explaining superpowers without the need for a complicated backstory about how the main character/s got their powers (you can find bits of interviews on yt, its so funny). Also, remember these characters came out in the middle of the last century, a period where there was a lot of activism and movements towards equality for people of color. The "mutants" are an allegory for how people IRL judge and discriminate others, based on traits they were born with (like skin color). So it was also a clever way of Stan Lee puting his 2 cents sort of speak, towards that debate at the time c:
Funny enough, originally Wolverine's claws were just part of his costume. They weren't inside his hands. However, later retcon/rewrite would establish that the claws are a part of him internally after being experimented upon by the government in the comics. His mutation/mutant power is actually his self-healing ability.
Wolverine has been modified. His regenerative powers keep him alive after he had adamantium bonded t his skeleton. Adamantium is one of the strongest materials in the universe, so it's nearly unbreakable. Mystique could look like she had his claws, but he cut them off because she doesn't actually have adamantium claws. Her powers, while impressive, can't mimic metal that strong. Wolverine also has powerful tracking ability through his sense of smell, so he could smell her in spite of her form.
The X-Men/Wolverine gopher hole. Prepare for twists, turns, and switchbacks, it's never been an easy path to follow but the Easter eggs are there for the finding...
stef, after you get to the movie, the New Mutants (2020) that is the junior xmen team from the 1980s, there is a movie called Generation X (1995) that takes place after that , that is the junior xmen team from the 1990s
Yes! The X-Men! Don't worry Stef, you're not the only one who thought X-man was just one person, Wolverine 😂. That's how I was Btw Stef, please also watch Deadpool 1 & 2 when you're done with X-Men. That way you're caught up with Deadpool & Wolverine
Mystique doesn't take other mutants' powers when she takes their shape. Her claws weren't metal. Just flesh and bone shaped like Logan's claws. That's how he cut them off. She's just a shape shifter. Incredibly intelligent and highly trained but just flesh and bone. Like the statue. She wasn't marble. She was just the same shape and color as the statue. Still flesh and bone. Eric is complicated. You're going to like his story. His view on humans and their intolerance was formed when he was that little Jewish boy in the Nazi concentration camp.
Correct, kinda, but _pedantically_ that isn't trivia. Trivia comes from the word _trivial,_ meaning useless. Taxonomy is quite useful information. Known commonly as mustelids are the otters, badgers, raccoons, skunks, weasels, ferrets, martens, the wolverine, and even the red panda. But you're incorrect about them being a type of weasel. Weasels are in their own subfamily. Wolverines are more closely related to martens. However, your last comment isn't fully correct either. They are actually more closely related to bears than wolves, and even more closely related to pinnipeds like seals and walruses. Evolution is amazing....ly bizarre.
⬜ Xavier's Team (Mutant Heroes): * Professor-X / Prof. Charles Francis Xavier ¹ Cyclops / Scott Summers ² Storm / Ororo Munroe ³ Phoenix / Jean Grey ⁴ Wolverine / Logan Howlett ⁵ Rogue / Anna-Marie Ancanto ⬛ Magneto's Team (Mutant Villains): *¹ Magneto / Erik Magnus Lehnsherr ² Mystique / Raven Darkhölme ³ Sabertooth / Victor Creed ⁴ Toad / Todd Tolansky 🟫 US Government Officials (Humans): ¹ Robert Kelly (D-MA) - US Senator ² Henry Gyrich - US Liaison Officer
I think Logan went after Rogue because he didn't necessarily trust the others to convince her to come back, in this case it wasn't about going off to do his own thing.
By the 1990s, X-Men was the no.1 superhero team/comic book series by Marvel. But the success would 'evolve' even further with becoming Marvel's 2nd franchise on film. The original longest running, shared universe with it's first major, superhero team. Although they were around for 30 years plus at this point, their meteoric rise through multimedia made them unstoppable (animated series, toys video games, etc). From their further rising, came this 'ultimate' first installment. Hyper-realistic with social commentary and a few other things in between without being a overly 'comic-book' movie. The late Richard Donner and his wife, Lauren-Shuler Donner were executive producers (The Donners' Company) of the film series. Great cast, good writing, bold direction and treatment of the characters. Patrick Stewart as Professor X and Hugh Jackman (his film debut) as Wolverine would become seminal to this saga. Almost 25 years on film and most of it succeeded more than failed. If you wish to journey onward, prepare for a real evolution.
A wolverine isn't a wolf, it's like a big weasel. It's a vicious little beast that's highly territorial, and it's mean enough to chase away a bear. In the comics, Logan is only about 5'4, so it fits.
Think of a North American honey badger.
Yes, and Wolverine's tend to smell pretty foul, and steal from everyone else in those regions of the world. They have been known to take down polar bears, which is saying something since nobody survives that. I still laugh inside when Deadpool referenced comic book accurate Wolverine.
I’d heard that Hugh Jackman didn’t know what a Wolverine was when he was hired, and he first started to act like a wolf, and they had to tell him no, that’s not it.
@@leoda_lion4107 Logan/Wolverine definitely has the "smelly" part covered, all that body hair, plus all that drinking, smoking, and the 100+ years of living on the road, even the X-Men WITHOUT superhuman senses of smell should've been able to smell the difference between Mystique and the real deal.
@@alexthorpe6583 It's worse than that. NO ONE involved in these films knew what a wolverine was until after X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

During this time, the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man were the face of Marvel, starting from the '60s. By the '80s and '90s, the X-Men had reached unprecedented levels of popularity. X-Men #1 (1991) remains the best-selling single-issue comic of all time, highlighting the height of "X-Men mania". In the '90s, the X-Men dominated not just comics but also expanded into video games, arcades, and animation. X-Men: The Animated Series became one of the most influential cartoons ever, introducing the team to a new generation of fans. For a time, the X-Men even surpassed Spider-Man in popularity and sales.
This all changed with the rise of the MCU, starting with Iron Man (2008). The Phase 1 movies reshaped Marvel's image, making The Avengers household names.

The Avengers and their individual members were well-known among comic book fans but were largely unfamiliar to the general audience, with the exception of the Hulk and, to a lesser extent, Thor, who were the only two relatively well-known characters at the time.
For many people introduced to Marvel through the MCU, the Avengers became synonymous with the Marvel brand. As a result, the X-Men were often not recognized as part of Marvel, with some people even unaware that they were Marvel characters at all, associating the brand solely with the MCU. The same applies to the Fantastic Four, officially Marvel's First Family, who, in the eyes of many, were not seen as part of Marvel due to their lack of connection to the MCU. Anything outside the MCU was simply perceived as being unrelated to Marvel altogether by these new Marvel fans.

Wolverine/Logan's claws are adamantium, which is a virtually unbreakable metal. Mystique was able to mimic the claws, but not what theyre made of. So, when Logan sliced her "claws" off, that's why she screamed.
Kinda makes you wonder what part Logan cut off, eh?
X-Men...the timeline is messy; the writing across the movies is inconsistent; the characters aren't always true to themselves from the comics nor the other movies... But boy howdy do I still love this franchise anyway!! The X-Men is what got me into superheros as a kid and these live-action movies were a blast growing up. Enjoy the ride!
It was definitely the time of all our lives.
It felt like they were multiple trilogies that were tied together.
Some characters are impossible to translate completely from a comic to a film, even Kevin Feige has said that things that work in print don’t work in real life like Hawkeyes costume
For me it was Tobey McGuire's spooderman that got me into superheros, then the MCU
Unfortunately, they never had the ultimate line up active at the same time that was in the comics. And they introduced the danger room way too late.
All the X-Men movies are worth watching in order of release, its a great journey to go on
“Oh he’s……. Oh…..ohhhhhhOHHHHHHHH” lmao. Cried laughing when you finally pieced mystique together.
I particularly enjoyed "This bitch can turn into a statue!?"
That's right, Mystical, Magnetism, Snaggletooth, and Bullfrog.
and the Wolferine ;)
the Fake out with the Bobby/Mystique thing was hilarious lol
I was disappointed that Erik’s hat, with his chat with Charles at the start, didn’t get an Oscar nomination. Best Supporting Hat.
X-men walked so The Avengers could run.
X-men wore black spandex so Avengers could wear colored spandex.
You mean comic accurate @@MarisuSedai
Blade Walked so the X-Men could also Walk
@@jonathanross149exactly
😢everyone forgot about blade 😭
The Avengers are trash compared to this.
Fun react. The second one is considered to be one of the best sequels ever made. Can't wait for it
The X-Men, in 1963, by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby are often seen as a metaphor for racism and the Civil Rights Movement. The way mutants are feared, hunted, and discriminated against reflects the struggles Black Americans faced during the Jim Crow era. Professor Xavier and Magneto even parallel Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X's opposing approaches to equality.
Technically speaking, X-Man is the Wolverine guy. He´s called the Weapon X, and he's, in fact, a man.
The "beast", as you call him, is named Sabertooth.
Mystique is only able to take on the appearance of someone, not their powers. She was able to take on Wolverines claws because it's still an appearance when they're out.
The yellow spandex that Cyclopes was referring to was what they wore when they were first created in the comics.
The director for this film did not want the cast to cater or copy the look and feel of the characters from the comics. That are wearing black because the executives at FOX saw and thought that Black costumes would work for this movie since Black attire worked for The Matrix when it came out.
That only took 20 FN years!
Yes, that is why Wolverine's claws sliced so easily through Mystique's imitation claws.
@@WilliamMoses355 And Mystique's shapeshifting ability causes her body to repair damage, "shifting" itself intact.
18:51 The perfect visual example of a twist being mentally realized. 😂
😂😂😂
I'm surprised 😯
Stef you didn't catch 🫴 what Xavier implied about him and Magneto 17:46
I love *most* of these X-Men movies, but it’s worth noting that the films aren’t the best adaptations. At the time, studios were unsure if audiences would embrace the colorful, larger-than-life elements of the comics, so they toned things down alot and removed asspects that felt too much for audiences of the time. Comic books were even banned on set, but Kevin Feige, now President of Marvel Studios, secretly brought comics onto set for the actors to read and pushed for more accurate costumes, though his ideas were largely ignored.
To fit early 2000s trends, the X-Men wore black leather uniforms influenced by *The Matrix* (1999). Characters were also changed: Rogue became a younger, less powerful runaway, losing her Southern charm and superpowers she stole from Ms. Marvel, aka Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers). Iceman, originally one of the first X-Men in the comics, was made a teenager who joined the team later, while Cyclops and Jean remained among the first students.
The films focus heavily on Wolverine while sidelining characters like Storm, Rogue, and Cyclops. Cyclops, in particular, lost his role as the X-Men’s leader, frustrating comic fans. However, the recent *X-Men '97* (2024) has restored Cyclops' leadership and given neglected characters more attention, winning over fans of the films who never cared for certain character prior to X-Men '97. X-Men '97 is honestly one of the best Marvel projects since Infinity War, peak X-Men.
Despite the changes, the movies still offer a good introduction to the X-Men for those new to the franchise. Theres just better takes on the X-Men and their world in animation and comics.
Forgot to men but X-Men '97 has nothing to do with the X-Men films or the MCU. It's an animated series set within the '90s Marvel Animated Universe, acting as a follow up to the X-Men: Animated Series (1992 - 1997) which ended on a cliffhanger.
It's by Marvel Animation, a division of Marvel Studios but it's not set within the MCU. But it will most likely be the inspiration for the MCU X-Men whenever Marvel gets around to introducing Mutants to the MCU.
@@LittleGalaxyBoy duh nuh nuh nuh nuh, nuh nuh
Great Reaction......
Stan Lee came up with idea for mutants.... to LOOSELY quote him " You can only have so many Lab Accidents, Bites by radiactive animals or Aliens.... How about we just have some that have a random gene that gives different powers to each one"........ And the X-Men comic was first released in Sept 1963, and was the first comic with Mutants........
BTW....... the First X-Men Costume everyone wore Yellow and Blue tights (spandex) type suit........
I was lucky, I grew up on the X-Men comics on the late 80s and early 90s, during its peak period, and initially when this movie came out I was simply excited to see it in live action. We got incredibly lucky to have heavyweights in the form of Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen to play their roles, and whilst it was somewhat muted in color/tone and not comic accurate, it made up for it by taking seriously the political / moral angle that the comics often explored. Magneto depicts the road we should not take of vengeance and ruthlessness, and Xavier depicts the stark neccessity of balance in moral choices.
Another fantástica reaction, Stef! 🥰 I couldn’t help but think about your stream yesterday and the way you opened up about dealing with haters and negative comments when something doesn’t click right away or if something you say doesn’t make sentido to some people.
I just want to remind you that your real fans love those momentos auténticos! That’s what makes your reactions so divertida y genuina to watch. Most of us have already seen and loved these movies, So the joy comes from seeing how vos experimentás them for the first time. And honestly, sos increíble at connecting the dots-often faster than most would! Watching you piece things together is lo mejor. ❤
It’s tough, but I hope you can tune out the negativity. The haters will always find something to complain about, but the rest of us are here for your reacciones auténticas y una personalidad maravillosa. Keep being you-we love it! 💕
if you ever watch the bloopers for this movie there is a great take when Toby's Spider-man runs onto set because they were filming both movies at the same time they could only use it as a blooper because Spider-man is Sony's IP and they would of had to pay for a little cameo but Spider-man is technically a mutant and has crossover with the X-men on several occasions
Spider-Man did not get his powers because of the X-gene, so he is not a mutant.
From Screen Rant: "In Marvel terminology, Spider-Man is actually a mutate - someone whose genetic structure was altered by an outside force, rather than a mutant born with the X-gene. Mutates are incredibly common in Marvel comics, with examples including Spidey villains Electro and Sandman, as well as allies Captain America and the Hulk."
Fr it was funny 🤣 unexpected
No spider man is a mutate cause he got his powers from being exposed to an outside source mutants on the other hand are born with their abilities because of the x-gene.
@@sora2k05 watch the old X-men and Spider-Man series from the 90s they will say otherwise but yes X-gene=mutant but they have had people with dormant X-genes awakened by outside influences like the spider bite could have
@ ya in the comics that’s considered a mutate cause
I love watching all of your "aha!" moments. You are very entertaining.Great review!
This movie pretty much got people to take superhero movies seriously again. After 1997's goofy Batman & Robin bombed critically and commercially, most studios didn't wanna touch superheroes anymore. But when X-Men came out in 2000, it showed audiences that superhero stories can be about more than "good guys vs. bad guys" and selling toys to kids. The X-Men story is basically inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, but the messages and meanings can be applied to any marginalized group, the intolerance they experience, and their struggle for acceptance in society.
And Kevin Feige - the mastermind of the Marvel Cinematic Universe - got his start as an Associate Producer on the X-Men films. So we very much would not have the MCU without the success of the X-Men movies.
All true. But you forgot Blade (1998).
Yeah, I don't know whose idea it was, to have Goofy play Batman, but you know...swing and a miss.
A wolverine is an actual animal found in canada
And Alaska.
This is definitely my favorite reaction from you. The faces you made through the whole movie was priceless 😂
You’re gonna have fun watching all the xmen movies. They get kind of confusing because the timeline jumps around. But it’s well worth it leading up to Deadpool and wolverine.
I dont want to ruin anything... But X2 is one of the best comic based movies ever made. Can't wait for you to watch the opening scene. Its one of the best intros to a movie... Not just superhero movies. The franchise goes up and down. But the 2nd one is a very good flick. Saw it at a midnight showing back in the day with a packed theater... Everyone was in awe within 5 minutes!
I still remember seeing this in Theaters and how excited and nervous I was seeing live action. I grew up watching the animated show when I was in elementary and middle school. The X-Men has always been grounded in reality and based on social issues. You had a great reaction to this and I look forward to seeing your future X-Men universe reactions. While there are definitely some movies that are noticeably better than others, all are enjoyable for the most part and add to the series. I hope you eventually find your way to the 90's animated series and then X-Men '97.
Mystique copies the physical aspects of people, and the physical powers of Mutants visually but retains her physicality (for lack of a better term) as we saw in her fight against Logan. And since she can't get it down to the DNA and Logan was able to literally sniff her out, she does have some weaknesses with her power.
God, I love Famke Janssen. great Jean Grey!. All of your 2nd guessing will be answered by watching and paying attention..
Ditto she first appeared in a Star Trek Next Generation Episode, had the hots for Picard, funny how she and Patrick Stewart worked together in this.
Mystique can look like other mutants, but she can't replicate their powers. The claws are still part of Wolverine's physical body so she will still get those. They don't have the special metal though.
Wolverine is one of my favorite Marvel characters. His powers and story are really cool. Hugh Jackman was perfect casting. I hope you enjoy the rest of the movies.
You'll enjoy them all! PS I love the disaster of a room behind you
Yes mystique can shapeshift but she’s usually limited to somewhat humanoid shapes. Simple extensions like claws or fangs are possible but obviously she can’t copy Wolverine’s healing powers and her claws are fragile.
Heads up: The 3rd movie, "Last Stand" has a credits scene. Just thought I'd let you know so you are prepared lol.
"whats her name, Mystikal?" shake yuh ass, but watch yourself, shake yuh ass, show me whatcha workin with
DANGER! 🗣️ ‼️ ⚠️
Glad you got into the XMen movies b4 you watch Deadpool and Wolverine. Enjoy the ride...😊
This is genuinely had some of the funniest reactions I've ever seen for this movie. 😆
Its fun to watch someone discover this universe for the first time. Specifically Wolverine, you’re in for a emotional rollercoaster with his character arc.
Stan Lee is on the Beach next to the hot dog cart when the senator walks out of the water.
20:50 he can levitate cause of the electromagnetism in the air particles and of cause he move,warp and sometimes heat metal to give it a fluid or liquid shape..
Yup 22:33 yep 👍😅 Magneto is straight up savage
I always just figured he had metal plates in the soles of his shoes.
He'll yeah! Get hooked girl! You're in for a treat, these cool characters inspired a generation for young people that felt out of place. Stan Lee was genius and gave heart as well as realism to super heroes, amazing stuff! 🫠🕸
Loved the way you looked in this video steph, seems like alot less makeup. Love you the way you are. ❤
Great reaction as always! I could tell that you really liked the movie within the first 10 minutes. Wolverine's mutant powers are an extreme healing factor and a heightened sense of smell. Regarding Mystique, she is a gene-shifter that can change her cells to perfectly imitate the form and voice of any human, humanoid or semi-humanoid. Also, she is a trained assassin and a master in martial arts. She does not acquire the mutant ability of someone she imitates.
Mystique doesn’t get their powers. During her fight with Logan, she basically shapeshifted into a form with the claws out, a purely physical change, but Logan’s claws could still cut through hers because hers weren’t the real deal.
Love this movie X men is peak, X-Men 97 is 🔥more so
Damn that bobby was mystic all along. LOL funny seeing your realization
I get not knowing about the movie specifically but being shocked at the depth of lore, these characters were written back in the 60’s and there story’s have been worked over and over, refined and sharpened.
Growing up in the 90's rogue was one of my favorites. Can't remember how far you are in the marvel journey but she completely absorbs miss marvels powers and she has super strength and flight in the comics. Miss marvel is essentially captain marvel from the MCU. I always wanted to see rogue fully powered in live action because she is such a cool character with a unique and sort of tragic gift being unable to enjoy physical contact with other people. You may consider reacting to the 90's xmen cartoon and the disney relaunch xmen 97 that just came out.
I think the X-Men franchise is underrated. I think a couple more of these films are pretty great than many do
You get to experience the evolution to from "Wow, Magneto sucks" to "Magneto did nothing wrong."
Yes and ultimately Cyclops comes rounds to his perspective, but I consider 90s Xmen to be peak canon.
Stef, for someone like me who I got into the superheroes universe in the 80s when I was a child and I watched all superhero-themed movies and TV series since then, it's endearing to see someone like you, with zero knowledge about it (it's a compliment to you, believe me). You can do something that I don't: to live it by first time, to see it with unfamiliar eyes, to discover a lot of new things. I hope your journey will be great. Mine it was.
I've been a fan of X-Men 1987. I was 16 years old when this movie was released in 2000.
Awesome reaction of my favorite X-Men movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Wolverine's main power is his healing factor, but a side effect of that is that he also has heightened senses. He can identify and track someone by scent alone. That was how he knew that it was Mystique approaching him and not Storm. And yes, the comic book costume that Wolverine typically wears is bright yellow with black accents. You can see Hugh Jackman wearing it in "Wolverine & Deadpool". It was the first time in over two decades of playing the role that he actually wore his comic book accurate costume
I like that you liked the world aspect. I grew up on X-Men stuff. The cartoons and eventually started looking at comic books (these were on racks at my grocery stores and it's that or crochet magazines). It's even larger in scope there though will be in later X-Men films to a world wide geopolitical situation including many working parts and factions.
That is a big part of the appeal of the X-Men franchise I think. That and the realism where they are under thumb in society. It isn't the usual superhero fare where godly powered people exist or nukes with emotions if you will and simply run around doing whatever they please with utter impunity. And 2-dimensional citizens pointing up them in the sky "Look! It's Theme Guy!". Where this is more realistic.
In a jealous world that outwardly asses potential threats to it's own longevity this is what you would get. Distrust in the differently abled (yes, this is a big metaphor) partly bred in humanity itself and an innate knowledge that it can happen to anyone. We have non-powered factions being equal players in our plot and those who would exploit the powered, military is emphasized of course. And in fighting among the powered as well. All driven by class warfare and generally to one individuals benefit or another. And the core which is then the dueling ideologies of MLK Jr. (Xavier) and Malcom X (Lehnsherr) as to what will put the species in a better position in society.
I think that's a good summary and why it is such a great concept that the entertainment industry put so much resources into it for decades now. You can also look at modern comic book superhero films like Avengers and Superman and see where they started to infuse those politics and drama into their stories as well. Different and therefore unexpected as you put it which is what is entertaining about it. The kind of stuff you can think about going back into real life and the world.
Good Reaction! 🖒
Watched this in theaters on opening weekend with my cousin ages ago. Liked the movie just as much then as now. Can't wait to see the upcoming reactions for the X-Men sequels completing the original trilogy!
Dear Stef: You should view the xmen movies in order X1, X2-United, Xmen Origins, X3-Last Stand, The Wolverine, First Class, Days of Future Past, Xmen Apocalypts, LOGAN. ....And you should make sure you watch the Post Credit Scenes, there's very important information to be found in them. When it comes time to view Xmen Origins PLEASE do it with an open mind, do not listen to all the hate, and you just might be impressed.
Whether you grew up watching the original series or are discovering the X-Men for the first time, X-Men 97 is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates great animation and compelling storytelling.
The first original X-Men were In 1963's monumental UNCANNY X-MEN #1, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced "Cyclops, Marvel Girl (Jean Grey), Beast, Iceman, and Angel" to the world and transformed pop culture as we know it.
Yup, so as Marvel fans, we basically started off with "Blade" (1999), "X-Men" (2000), and "Spider-Man" (2002). The second Blade (2002), the second X-Men (2003), and the second Spider-Man (2004). We had new Marvel movies, with "The Fantastic Four" in 2005 and the "Ghost-Rider" in 2007, and both had sequels. Toss in a third Blade movie and Spider-Man again, and then the two Andrew Garfield "Amazing Spider-Man" films, the first Hulk film, and the continuing X-Men, and we had a fair bit of Marvel before the MCU started with "Iron Man" in 2008.
I can’t believe this was released on my birthday!!!
Fun fact: Jean Grey's mutant name is Jean Grey as a reference to her name, Jean Grey.
Actually her original code name marvel girl
X-Men movies are the best superhero movies!!
From x-men = most powerful my fav dark phoenix🔥🧡
I think you would be interested in looking into the back story of all these characters. Here's one, Wolverine and Sabertooth are brothers. Also the black leather design of the outfits was inspired by The Matrix. They believed that the black leather look would also help X-Men become a more successful film.
"You were always the wrong guy..... until you weren't" 😭😭😭 Watching Stef begin this journey is awesome
No spoilers dude lol
@js6729 she won't see that for months at the rate she does these
It's gonna blow her mind when she learns about the xmen named X-Man
FYI, tTe wolverine animal is in the same family as the bear (so it looks like a badger or small bear), not the wolf.
Idk when, if ever, you plan on picking the MCU back up, but I highly recommend making it through all of these movies before you move to Phase 5 of the MCU. The Wolverine solo movies (which include Logan) and the Deadpool movies IN PARTICULAR are essential, and not just because of the charismatic leads.
I wish she would watch atleast up to Days Of Future Past before jumping back into WandaVision
She just watched a Spider-Man movie 😃
There’s no reason to bother with MCU after Endgame. Except maybe No Way Home and Deadpool and Wolverine. The rest is worthless garbage.
@ L opinion
@@Jmacc27 Yeah, I definitely wouldn’t go as far as he did to call it “garbage”. There’s some rough patches, but overall Shang Chi, Black Panther 2, Wandavision, What If, and ESPECIALLY Loki and Moon Knight are worthy entries to the series.
Mystique can change into other mutants, but she can’t copy their powers. For example, if she changes into Cyclops, she can’t shoot his eye beams. She’s able to copy Wolverine’s claws because they are a part of his person.
You should have started with xmen origins wolverine, it explains how wolverine got his metal claws and is prior to this movie
Oh here we go
Mystique does NoT get a mutants powers when she transforms, she only mimics their appearance. And Wolverine also has heightened hearing & smelling.
Quicksilver & Scarlett Witch are the children of Magneto.
Cyclops' eyes are portals to another dimension that exists as nothing but concussive force (no heat, no flame). The only things that defeat the force are his eyelids and the ruby quartz plate in his visor. In this film, there's a dial on the side of the visor to adjust the beam angle more narrowly or widely. By practicing, Cyclops can improve his aim and accuracy. If he cuts loose with the full force of the beam, he can hurt or knock over even very strong heroes and villains.
Great reaction! X-Men is a good movie series
Hey Stef 👋. Does anybody want to bet on how long it takes Stef to fall for Hugh Jackman/Wolverine/Logan??
Movies to watch before continuing mcu (if you haven't yet): old fox universe stuff. X-men, daredevil, blade, the wolverine movies, and deadpool!
In short, X-MEN is another chapter of the MARVEL series (you may also see cameos of STAN LEE during these movies). You will find that X-MEN is a journey in itself (especially with the MANY characters) in MARVEL.
Uh uh our girl is discovering my favorite superheroes and villains of all time
Not sure if you noticed, but the actor who played Magneto, Sir Ian McKellen, is also known for another iconic role he played: Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings.
Mystique can turn into other humans and mutants but she doesnt get their abilities, she can turn into wolverine but her claws arent anamatium like his is. Logan has the ability to smell someone scent that is why he knew mystique was acting as storm
When it comes to movies, a lot of times they have multiple things to touch on to the point where the relationships between characters gets neglected when making a movie, especially when you have so many characters that need screen time. In some ways tv shows are better when it comes to getting to know characters especially when there used to be 20+ episodes per season because you have more time to get to know the characters & their relationships. Did you recognize Magneto as Gandalf from Lord of the Rings? There are so many different Mutants with different abilities that anything is possible.
Sabretooth real name is Victor Creed. He and Logan ran away together as kids, fought together in multiple wars and had each others backs until Victor started liking the killing part too much. You‘ll find this out in the upcoming sequel‘s. Cheers
Once you have a chance to watch it, the X-Men 97 series actually gives a better sense of the X-Men and Mutants in general than the movies do (as much as I love some of the X-Men movies).
Man, that intro was great. I've never heard of somebody thinking X-men was 1 dude x'd
Its ok, that's the whole point of the channel right, to get to know more about movies and stuff. Maybe throw some questions outthere like, which power would U like?
Omg i hadn't been here in a while. I had forgoten how expresive you are, es tan divertido hahaha Me encanta
A bit of trivia: Stan Lee created the mutants so that he could have an "easy-go-to" for explaining superpowers without the need for a complicated backstory about how the main character/s got their powers (you can find bits of interviews on yt, its so funny). Also, remember these characters came out in the middle of the last century, a period where there was a lot of activism and movements towards equality for people of color. The "mutants" are an allegory for how people IRL judge and discriminate others, based on traits they were born with (like skin color). So it was also a clever way of Stan Lee puting his 2 cents sort of speak, towards that debate at the time c:
Funny enough, originally Wolverine's claws were just part of his costume. They weren't inside his hands. However, later retcon/rewrite would establish that the claws are a part of him internally after being experimented upon by the government in the comics. His mutation/mutant power is actually his self-healing ability.
24:54 such a valid expression
Wolverine has been modified. His regenerative powers keep him alive after he had adamantium bonded t his skeleton. Adamantium is one of the strongest materials in the universe, so it's nearly unbreakable. Mystique could look like she had his claws, but he cut them off because she doesn't actually have adamantium claws. Her powers, while impressive, can't mimic metal that strong. Wolverine also has powerful tracking ability through his sense of smell, so he could smell her in spite of her form.
Everyone basically was a stranger.
The main focus was who was responsible for attacking Wolverine and Rogue.
The X-Men/Wolverine gopher hole. Prepare for twists, turns, and switchbacks, it's never been an easy path to follow but the Easter eggs are there for the finding...
stef, after you get to the movie, the New Mutants (2020) that is the junior xmen team from the 1980s, there is a movie called Generation X (1995) that takes place after that , that is the junior xmen team from the 1990s
🐸 +⚡= 💀
Yes! The X-Men! Don't worry Stef, you're not the only one who thought X-man was just one person, Wolverine 😂. That's how I was
Btw Stef, please also watch Deadpool 1 & 2 when you're done with X-Men. That way you're caught up with Deadpool & Wolverine
Mystique doesn't take other mutants' powers when she takes their shape. Her claws weren't metal. Just flesh and bone shaped like Logan's claws. That's how he cut them off. She's just a shape shifter. Incredibly intelligent and highly trained but just flesh and bone. Like the statue. She wasn't marble. She was just the same shape and color as the statue. Still flesh and bone.
Eric is complicated. You're going to like his story. His view on humans and their intolerance was formed when he was that little Jewish boy in the Nazi concentration camp.
Little trivia for you, wolverines are actually a type of weasel, not a wolf, though many people think they are a type of bear.
100 lbs of mean in a 50 lb bag.
Correct, kinda, but _pedantically_ that isn't trivia. Trivia comes from the word _trivial,_ meaning useless. Taxonomy is quite useful information.
Known commonly as mustelids are the otters, badgers, raccoons, skunks, weasels, ferrets, martens, the wolverine, and even the red panda. But you're incorrect about them being a type of weasel. Weasels are in their own subfamily. Wolverines are more closely related to martens. However, your last comment isn't fully correct either. They are actually more closely related to bears than wolves, and even more closely related to pinnipeds like seals and walruses. Evolution is amazing....ly bizarre.
@@MontgomeryWenis I meant of the weasel family, which you are correct is called mustelids.

I think Logan went after Rogue because he didn't necessarily trust the others to convince her to come back, in this case it wasn't about going off to do his own thing.
Magneto is also "Gandalf".
One of Wolverine's powers that's not often referenced is his senses of smell
Stef. Eres la definiciòn de Hermosura de todos diccionario del mundo. Te lo expreso con absoluto respeto y admiraciòn.
By the 1990s, X-Men was the no.1 superhero team/comic book series by Marvel.
But the success would 'evolve' even further with becoming Marvel's 2nd franchise on film.
The original longest running, shared universe with it's first major, superhero team.
Although they were around for 30 years plus at this point, their meteoric rise through multimedia made them unstoppable (animated series, toys video games, etc).
From their further rising, came this 'ultimate' first installment.
Hyper-realistic with social commentary and a few other things in between without being a overly 'comic-book' movie.
The late Richard Donner and his wife, Lauren-Shuler Donner were executive producers (The Donners' Company) of the film series.
Great cast, good writing, bold direction and treatment of the characters.
Patrick Stewart as Professor X and Hugh Jackman (his film debut) as Wolverine would become seminal to this saga.
Almost 25 years on film and most of it succeeded more than failed.
If you wish to journey onward, prepare for a real evolution.
