    Kurt is the best for many reasons. His father (kind of...) was a demon (sort of...) named Azazel. When Kurt teleports, he actually enters a hellish plane of existence where he can subconsciously move much faster, then reenters our plane. The "smoke" you see is the atmosphere of that plane, so every time he teleports, the people nearby smell brimstone. Fans usually say he "bamfs" instead of "teleports" because "BAMF" is the onomatopoeia used in comics to indicate the sound it makes.
    Oh, and Mystique's his mom (in most versions).

    Fun fact... When X2 was being produced, Fox had the idea to release an expanded version of the original film on DVD called "X-Men 1.5" with deleted scenes from the movie added back in and two new filmed scenes that were written for the first movie but never shot. The idea was to release it a few months before X2 to build hype for the sequel. The 2 new scenes would have told he origins of Storm and Cyclops, with Scott in the bathroom of his local high school during the prom. He's in the stall and his eyes are burning and one of his friends asks "How much weed did you smoke tonight?" and Scott says "None" and looks up as his eyes flare and he blows a hole through several walls into the dance auditorium.
    They built the set for it and just before they were about to film the scene, word came down from Fox that they were no longer going to produce the DVD and pulled the funding for the additional scenes and the re-edit. But the bathroom was already constructed, so they converted into the bathroom where Mystique injects the iron into the corrupt prison guard's blood. Originally, she would have just slipped the pills to him and then it is revealed that she injected him when Magneto extracts the iron from his blood. With the bathroom already created, they just wrote an additional sequence for it.
    Speaking of Cyclops, originally he was knocked out immediately by Lady Deathstrike, but James Marsden complained that the X-Men are supposed to have some sort of training, so he should be prepared to fight back. So they added the scene of him fighting the guards and it actually went on longer than what we saw in the movie. But the set was not built for a fight scene and every time they moved around on it, tiles that were glued down would pop out from the floor. Cyclops also had several additional scenes with Xavier in the movie where you discovered that they broke free and returned to the mansion where he finds all the students missing, except for a frightened girl... and then realized that it was all in Xavier's mind being controlled by Stryker's son and that is why they Xavier was trying to find all the mutants in Cerebro. A bunch of people high up at Fox thought the audience would be too stupid to realize what was happening, so they had the scenes removed. But they ARE on the deleted scenes if you have the DVD or Blu-Ray.

    Mystique’s nudity is necessary. Any genuine clothes she wears would need to be changed to match a person she copies. And any simulated fabric that was part of her body would have two other drawbacks: the time to reabsorb and change, and it might be detectable if lightly damaged by a knife and draws blood.

    Yes, in the comics, Wolverine is 5'4", and had a chip on his shoulder about it. He was like a ball of rage and blades.
    There was an uproar when Hugh Jackman, who is over 6', was cast, but after the movie released, fans fell in love with his portrayal. After the upcoming "Deadpool and Wolverine" movie this year, he will have played that character for over 24yrs! That streak will never be beaten.

      @@TahiriVeila13ABY Oh, there were voices, for sure. Maybe not in the broader pop culture scene, but among comics fans, there was definitely.. displeasure at the casting announcement.
      But after seeing him in action, even most hard-core fans were satisfied with his portrayal.
      There are still many comics fans who yearn to see a more accurately type-cast actor take on the role, i.e. someone 5'5" or less. Daniel Radcliffe's name has been bandied about. He's 5'5" and in quite good physical shape. He's shown remarkable range in his acting roles over the years; I bet he could pull it off! However, I don't know if general audiences would be on board to see 'Harry Potter' play a death-dealing berserker; they might just not want that dichotomy in their brains. Public perception can be a tricky thing. If not him, then who knows? Jackman had officially retired after "Logan," but has now come back for "Deadpool." I'm sure this is the last time. He's been such a beloved actor in this role, I guess it'll be a while before any producer even tries to fill his adamantium claws...

    Fun fact about Lady Deathstrike (Stryker's assistant): in the comics, she's not a mutant. She's a cyborg with a vendetta against Wolverine.
    Also, about Stryker's son Jason: in the comics, they are not related. Jason Wyngarde aka Mastermind was a villain in his own right and sometimes member of Magneto's Brotherhood. For story reasons, his background was changed.
    Third: the "mutant gene being passed from the father" thing Pyro spoke of is movie lore only. In the comics, either parent can pass on the x-gene. For example, Jean Grey's sister Sara (potentially a latent mutant) had 2 mutant children with her human husband. Mystique and Sabertooth (both mutants) had a non-mutant son. So the genetics isn't as predictable as Pyro made it seem.

    30:01 - "Who plays Mystique?" Answer = 15:09 - Rebecca Romijn. That's what the actress looks like, without all the blue stuff.
    Supermodel, frequent Sports Illustrated model, with several body paint sessions under her (painted-on) belt. In addition to being extremely beautiful, her experience with the tedious process of body-painting gave her the patience to sit still for the hours and hours it took to apply prosthetics and paint to her whole body for this role. For the first film it took EIGHT HOURS to apply the makeup! That's a full day's work, before the cameras are even turned on! Then you have to act and do stunts and fight choreo and all of that! They eventually managed to shave off a little time, but it still took at least six hours, every day she was on set. The day she got to play "herself" in the bar must have been a blessing! She has had a very successful acting career, most recently on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

    • @TSIRKLAND
      @TSIRKLAND 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If I may geek out about the makeup for a bit. I'm a makeup artist myself, so I always love these kinds of films where we get to play! Mystique's prosthetics were a break-through technique at the time: silicone pieces that were basically peel-and-stick, self-adhesive, and could be re-used! Most prosthetics are foam latex, need to be hand-glued, and are destroyed in the removal process, needing brand-new pieces every application. These silicone pieces were a materials breakthrough. They did have their drawbacks, however, as the application process was still painstaking, considering how many there were! A team of (I forget if it was four or six) female makeup artists applied the prosthetics, applied the airbrush makeup in several layers, to achieve the subtle shadings and colors. It may look just "blue," but if it were simply spray-painted a solid color it would look unnatural. It took several layers of slightly different shades, and spattered dots, to give that blue skin the same kinds of shading and texture that our melanin-colored skin has.
      Alan Cumming, who played Nightcrawler, had to go through a somewhat similar process. He was only shirtless for one or two scenes, so luckily he didn't have as much surface area to cover- just his face, most days (and his three-fingered gloves). His raised "scars" were hand-drawn with a thin tube of makeup material, then he was airbrushed in layers- with a slightly different formulation of blue hues, to differentiate him from Mystique's blue.

    Mystique was the major first role of actress Rebecca Romaijn (RO-MAYN). Before becoming an actress, she was one of the top supermodels of the 1990s, gracing all of the major fashion magazines, and was even the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model once. She was married to John Stamos (Uncle Jesse on Full House) when she made the X-Men films. Currently, she is married to Jerry O'Connell (Vern Tessio in Stand By Me, George Cooper, Jr. on The Big Bang Theory, and Frank Cushman in Jerry Maguire, with LOTS of other TV credits). She is also on the Paramount Plus series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, a prequel to the original series of Star Trek in the 1960s, playing Commander Una Chin-Riley aka Number One, a role originated in the 1960s by Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, the wife of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, in the first Pilot episode of the legendary series.
    The guy who turns metallic is Colossus aka Peter Rasputin played by Daniel Cudmore. Colossus is a pretty major character in the Deadpool movies, but played by a different actor. Unfoirtunately, none of the films have made Colossus a major character in the stories, and he is a popular character in the comics. Cudmore is also known for his character Felix, one of the Volturi vampires in the Twilight Saga, appearing in New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn, Parts 1 & 2.
    What was happening with Jean will be explained in X-Men 3...it is a major arc in her story, and in the comics. So much so that they have kinda of dealt with it with Famke Janssen as Jean, and with Sophie Turner (aka Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones), who plays Jean in the X-Men: First Class films, which take place in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.
