TOP 3 X-MEN MOVIE!? "X-MEN: Days of Future Past* REACTION
#xmen #reaction #commentary #vkunia #daysoffuturepast
" Just because someone stumbles and loses the way doesn't mean they're lost forever" That's the best quote from Professor X & it's true in real life too.
It's not really true in real life though. Some get one stumble. Trust me
Which Stewart as Xavier repeats in Dr Strange: Multiverse of Madness. Great Easter egg for those who caught it.
@@mss11235 The quote means not every case. It allows for the fact that some stumbles are permanent, it just says that they don't all have to be. Disagreeing with the statement would be saying that everyone who stumbles /is/ lost forever.
I think that might not apply to Kanye West
@@theretrosavage Like, maybe the first time, but he has a mental illness and refuses to get help.
This is my favorite super hero movie before the MCU era. I loved the connection between X-Men's original cast and their younger versions of X-Men First Class.
You do realize MCU was mid phase two or so by the time this movie came out right?
MCU is bs - X Men is real deal.
That’s what I thought but isn’t it also a different universe because Jean and Raven die where as in x-men last stand only Jean died? It’s all confusing for me haha.
@@itztrixim It's the same universe, but the timeline gets changed. That's the whole plot of Days of Future Past movie.
My favorite as well
"What is the last thing you remember?"
"Drowning..."
The same thing he told Charles in the Original X-Men movie/timeline
Also my heart broke listening to Eric tell Charles "So many years fighting... To have a precious few of them back..."
(;_;)
What are you talking about
Since you mentioned WandaVision, the "Recasting" of Pietro is a fun tie in because Evan is playing the same character from Age of Ultron, just the Fox X-men version of him
Yeah I don't know how she didn't catch that
I'm not subscribed to her patreon but did nobody suggest her to finish watching X-Men before watching Wanda vision??
Well technically he’s not really Quicksilver, he’s the Boner guy
Logan's style in this movie was just so good. I managed to find me a pretty close pair of shades that he wore with the gradient fade. But oh goodness this ending got me something good. Seeing Beast, Iceman, Rogue, Colossus, Shadowcat and finally Jean and Scott gave me so much joy.
Reminded me I used to have a pair that looked like Scots from the first x men movie , god I was gutted when I broke them 🤣
@@hairywelder5188 Those were Oakleys weren’t they? I wanted a pair of those so bad when that first movie came out LOL. And I know you had to be major gutted when they broke - hurts to lose a good pair of shades.
@@talondarkfire looked for similar ones over the years but never found any
Fun fact: Quicksilver's line "They told me you can control metal... my mom once dated a guy who could do that" is a reference to the comics, where it is well-established canon that Magneto is Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch's father.
It was canon. It isn't any more.
@@mizrolist did they change it?
@@mizrolist Well I guess this shows how much I pay attention to the comics XD
@@BornInsane0 A couple years ago.
@@mizrolistyes it’s still “cannon”
“Whatever happens from now, promise me one thing. Storm, Scott, Jean... you'll look out for these names and protect them. We will need you, Professor”
That scene with Logan and Charles is one of my favourite parts of the film it is a small one but it’s very impactful. Not only because it shows that X-Men 2000 will happen no matter what, but more importantly it shows Logan cares about his friends, his family, it’s why he’s my favourite character aside from Magneto.
I love how Bobby is the last line of defence to the professor kitty and Logan (theatrical version)
Even though the writers had confused superpowered “Sunspot” Bobby DiCosta with early flamethrowing X-Man Sunfire -
A mistake that would later carry on to the New Mutants getting their own movie.
The movie version of Bobby was very likeable. I haven't read a lot of X-men comics about Drake to get a good feel for the comics version. The ones I have, he was more a background character.
NOTE: completely forget that you saw Mystique's eyes for Striker in the end scene... because Fox sure forgot about it
That genuinely irritates me that it happened
But my head cannon isn’t him getting the metal claws from Stryker is inevitable no matter what
It makes sense, Mystique let's him free, Stryker finds him again in origins
One of my favorite things about X-Men was how complicated everyone was, it always covered the things we deal with in daily life on a larger scale.
There's an extended version called the Rogue Cut, in which due to Kitty's injuries from when Logan briefly snapped, the others need to go get Rogue so that she can take Kitty's place. It's implied that in addition to Mystique's powers, that the newer Sentinels also benefited from experiments and research done on Rogue, whose powers are adaptive.
Oh wow, I remember watching this on its first day in cinemas way back 2014. My friend and I watched and twice in a row because it was really amazing. And that Quicksilver slow-mo scene really blew the audience's minds.
They did a really good job of balancing the needs of old comic fans (like me) who remembered the original Days of Future Past storyline from the early 80s and people who only knew the movies. Unlike most adaptations of landmark comics, they managed to keep the essence of what made it great while not being afraid to make massive changes to the details. I particularly like the idea of going into the characters' early days, rather than just going back to the "present" of the series. And we get introduced to Evan Peters' Quicksilver! I'm sorry you've already seen WandaVision, because a great moment in that series will have lost quite a bit of its impact. Anyway, thoughtful reaction as always, thanks!
This really was one of the top two X-Men movies for me.
I love that Logan is really happy when he sees Scott at the end. It's like: "Oh wow! Even Scott's alive in this new timeline. And that's great, because he and Jean are alive and happy!" 🤣
I kind of wish this iteration of the X-Men universe had just ended with this movie on a hopeful note, then we wouldn't have had to sink to the lows of Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix. Of course, then we also wouldn't have got the excellent "Logan", sooo..... 😢
The kitchen scene is one of Quicksilver's top two most iconic movie moments - the other is the scene where he rescues everyone from the exploding mansion in Apocalypse. It's just as great of a moment.
Days Of Future Past should've been the last X-Men movie, given what happened to the franchise afterwards with the likes of Deadpool, Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix, New Mutants, and Logan.
It was such a perfect ending to the series.
Also, sidenote, Charles' taking the serum to heal his legs and stop his powers, is more than because Erik and Raven left. It's also heavily implied that Charles watched all his students and teachers get drafted into the Vietnam War and through his telepathy sensed them dying, why he closed down the school and isolated himself.
Your X-Men reactions are the gifts we didn't know we needed. Thanks 🙂
5:20 Vicky: "Eric you Dbag." Missed the next 10 mins from laughing so hard had tears!
That seems to be quite the hyperbole
Quicksilver is one of the coolest X-men characters) His scenes are so amazing, especially the run in the kitchen scene)))
Days of future past was a X-Men comic book series back in the 80s or 90s. That’s where the title came from
Vkunia at the end of the movie: I'm so happy right now!
Me: *looking at Logan* Oh boy...
There's another version of this movie called the Rogue Cut, which features a subplot where they need to rescue her in the future so she can help Logan. I think it is the superior version
How to watch that version?
@@hussainalmohammed8773 I don't know about streaming, but they sold it as a separate blu-ray
@@hussainalmohammed8773u can just find it on youtube
22:56 as someone who like trains... I love the fact you thought of the workers who's gona have to fix that...
As someone who lives in the real world. I’m appalled that you and her found to be a negative. People need jobs 😑
X-MEN days of future past is my favorite of all the X-MEN movies
Days of Future Past is my favorite comic book movie, period
The blue skin dude in the post credit scene was Apocalypse who is the First Mutant and is the big bad in the next film. He won't look the same though because in X-Men Apocalypse he is played by Oscar Isaac
Selene is older. She was already 12,000 years old by the time Apocalypse was born.
Its one of the very few movies in general, that i can watch on repeat without getting bored. Same as Shaun of The Dead and Resident Evil Vendetta
Unfortunately, through editing, it doesn't show how 'Rogue' came in and took Kitty's power to keep a link with Logan. That's one of my favorite story lines. It's great to see how the past and future meet and how it ties up some of the loose ends which MCU is infamous for. You can't help but all in love with 'Raven' in 70's fashion. LOL
It was a great story, the problem was is that it kind of bogs down the pacing int he second half.
I prefer the Rogue cut as well. I don't mind it being a bit longer. They should have saved her a long time before that imo.
Not MCU 🤦♂️🤦♂️
The Rogue Cut is the definitive way to watch Days of Future Past.
In this case - quite true. I remember hearing something about it and dismissing it as Fan-sturbation. When I did finally watch it I realized it's the superior film by way of competent story telling if nothing else.
Strong disagree
I agree, but it's not on Disney+, which makes it harder to watch it as not everyone gets dvds these days. I do and I bloody love the Rogue Cut.
Stewart was always a great X. Glad he's able to "cameo" in a number of films.
One of the top-tier X-Men movies. The ending gets me every time.
(I like the Rogue Cut slightly better, but that's a very small difference.)
As far as X-men movies go, I felt this was an "Avengers" level film and doesn't get enough love. Easily the best in the catalog.
You are officially my favorite reactor now, I loved the ancient aliens comment lol
I believe the title is from Arthuian legend. Merlin was born in the future, and grew younger. What was everyone's future was his past, and everyone's past, was Merlin's future.
I believe the comic book this movie was adapted from, was written by Chris Claremont who loved the knights of the round table. He used very little source material as he could to make his story as original as he possible.
Regardless, there was huge chunks of this movie that seemed to be missing. It seemed important when Apocolypse was in his fight with Jean Grey, and he mentions her as the perfect being, that he was referencing something he heard or dreamed about thousands of years ago. Also, it seemed important that parts of his armor had meaning too, as it was ripped away from him, piece by piece, that he was losing some of his powers.
I didn't read the comic books, but I read about them. So greater understanding might have been had by reading the comic books as they tended to drone on about such details. Perhaps the movie's screenwriter and director counted on fans having read the comic books to understand the missing finer points. I don't know...
I never thought I'd see the day someone made a Spaceballs reference while watching an X-Men movie lol
32:50 I missed a lot of the films when they first came out…so I already knew…but watching reactors see the after credits scene…I love the little touch in the background of four people in the background mounted on horses…
This movie easily makes me cry. One of best superhero movies
I can't believe she made a Destiny 2 joke. Love you so much
The best movie I had ever seen in 2014 along with The Winter Soldier, Godzilla, Fury, and Whiplash! This is my first X-Men movie I went to see in theaters! I agree with your comment about Evan Peters! He’s a very great actor imo, and I too wish to be friends with him, lol! He nails this role as a speedster character!
Someone remembers Godzilla? Wow
@@extremepower5765 right?! It’s a good flick! What do you think about it?
（＾ν＾）
Its really funny that theres multiple bullet curving in this movie when James Mcavoy was also in Wanted where they curved bullets
“They steal powers? Oh… No…”
3:26 “When did the recent update come out?”
*STOP IT* 😂😭
In the X-Men comics, Raven is much, much different. And far more interesting, in my opinion. She's the actual mother of Nightcrawler, the adoptive mother of Rogue, who twists her to villainy, until Rogue permanently takes Carol Danvers' powers and has a crisis of conscious. She's a cool villain and antihero.
The name Trask in Marvel dates back to the 1960’s. The Stark anagram is likely coincidental (unless Stan Lee used the anagram to derive Trask. I haven’t seen any reference to that).
:-)
What I never could get behind in this movie is that Magneto's prison is better in 1973 than in 2003
He got out of the Pentagon dungeon somehow the first time around. I think it's safe to assume that they're not going to make that mistakes again.
For me this is the end of the “team” X-Men movies. It adapted one of my favorite X-Men stories, made the sentinels horrifying, brought the two eras together nicely and ended both on a satisfactory note.
After this I just couldn’t get that excited for Apocalypse when I saw the trailer and after seeing it I was still underwhelmed. I didn’t bother with Dark Phoenix and New Mutants beyond seeing clips on YT
Yeah this was it for good X-Men movies i don't really consider Logan to be an X-Men or superhero movie for that matter.
I honestly didn't think they could pull off 'Days' in movie form. But they did and it's one of my faves.
It's funny... I watched 'New Mutants' just to see if it was as bad as people said. (Spoiler: It is.) Afterwards, I decided to make it a double feature with 'Dark Phoenix' because "it can't be as bad as New Mutants". And ya know what... I was right. Not that DF was good (it was meh at best), New Mutants is just that bad. The only positive that I can give New Mutants is the it's less than 90 minutes.
Which means I'd rather watch that than Eternals. 🤣
Now you understand the significance of them having Evan Peters in WanderVision as Pietro. :)
@Keith Langmead They made a mess with him in that series
DoFP is AWESOME and the comic book run was even better :) When McAvoy and Stewart are talking it just bring tears 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
Highly recommend other McAvoy films like Split! :D
They should have called this movie "Days Of Future SHUT UP!!!!!"
I totally forgot about Logan "what the hell is that" line hahahahaha
This movie was an emotional ride, not only one of the best X-men movie even one of the best marvel movie for me
32:40 The place : Ancient Egypt
People song : "En Sabbah Nur! En Sabbah Nur!..."
The guy obviouly making the Pyramid : a mutant
Behind him : four horsemen...
One of the best teaser I ever seen in my life!
Great reaction. Two more X-men movies to go, not as good as this one, but it'll be a lot of fun rewatching them through your perceptive eyes. Thank you.
You forgot about The New Mutants movie.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Mutants_(film)
They told me you could move metal. My mom told me she dated a guy who could do that
Ah yes the confirmation that Pietro (quicksilver) and Wanda (scarlet witch) are the children of Magneto
11:25 fun fact: Mystique and Azazel are the parents of Nightcrawler... so... when she's looking at his autopsy photo here it's not just the first time she's seeing the corpse of a former teammate, but of a lover and father of her child.
...though... presumably she's not a great mother as it seems she abandoned Kurt as a baby somewhere in Germany in the late 60s or early 70s. I assume she felt the work she was doing with Eric for mutant liberation was either too dangerous or time consuming for her to be mothering, so she left the child at a church or monastery, which is maybe why he grew up so religious.
It was simultaneously a joy and a bummer to see one of my all-time favorite X-Men characters sort of show up in this movie. His name is Rockslide and he’s this big rock monster looking guy. He’s a big fan of the Hulk. One of the Sentinels turns into big jagged rocks and I’m like OH is that a hint at Rockslide?? But then oh yeah… if the Sentinel has his powers, Rockslide is probably dead… lol
Hot take: The New X-Men, especially the Kyle/Yost iteration (X-23, Hellion, Mercury, Surge, Prodigy, Rockslide, Elixir, and Dust) is one of the best "young" X-Men teams. It has a great balance of powers and personalities, while also being one of the most diverse casts. They're also a perfect metaphor for the modern generation, considering one of their biggest defining traits is how the choices and actions of their predecessors seriously failed them (in the case of the NXM, the way the elder X-Men completely screwed up led to 99% of them losing their powers, and dozens of them being subsequently murdered by Stryker).
The fact that, except for X-23, they're routinely relegated to wallpaper, and at BEST trotted out when they need an "expendable" character to kill off for shock value is one of the biggest travesties of the current era in the comics.
@@billygriffitts8084 None of the Sentinels we've seen in the books can actually copy powers. Nimrod (from the same universe as the bad future of Days of Future Past in the books, though he didn't appear in the original story itself) was capable of adapting his systems in response to powers used against him in the same manner Trask describes, but he could not copy the actual powers themselves as the future Sentinels do in the movie.
@@billygriffitts8084 To me it seems like they can both absorb powers and even transfer them between each other. At least that’s what I got out of the opening scene with the ice and fire powers. Like they mimicked their targets, then switched powers with each other to get an advantage over their respective targets. And the absorption part gets validated in the Rogue Cut where it’s shown they used Rogue’s dna to beef up the Sentinels even more.
@@Ambaryerno It’s such a shame. I get why they can’t be considered THE X-Men for branding reasons, Wolverine Cyclops etc will always be at the top. But dang at the very least let the others stick around as mid-level X-Men. I appreciate that there are always new X-Men characters being made but the older “new” ones don’t need to be fed into a wood chipper to make room.
i never actually noticed that Trask is an anagram for Stark until she pointed it out lol
Fun fact: Dr. Trask is an anagram of Tony Stark, as both of them make advanced weapons in Marvel movies.
It seems like you made the connection but I wanted to clarify one thing about Evan Peter's Quicksilver. He plays the same character as Wanda's brother in Age of Ultron. In the comics, Wanda and Quicksilver are mutants and Magneto is their father.
When Disney bought Fox, it was shortly before WandaVision came out. They had Evan Peter's make an appearance as Wanda's brother instead of the original actor to kind of say "yeah, we have the x-men, and we can use their actors now"
Also, fun fact, both quciksilvers were in the movie KickAss
6:49 - oh my God that’s Chris Claremont playing one of the senators. He is a famous X-Men writer who wrote the original days of future past story that this movie is based off of… neat
the directors cut shows it was also Rogue along with Raven that made the Sentinels.
This movie is based on a 2-part story from the comics with the same title, one of the best X-Men stories ever made written by two of the best comic books writers ever: Chris Claremont and John Byrne (who also pencilled the art). It was a relief to see that the movie made justice to that story when it was released.
And no, Trask isn't an anagram for Stark: Bolivar Trask's first appearance on the comics was on 1965, waaaaaaaaaaaay before GRRM even started to dream about writing A Song of Ice and Fire. That's just a fun coincidence. XD
I would guess the Stark she was thinking of was Tony, not Eddard.
I think you're thinking of the wrong Stark
You're commenting on a marvel movie and think of Game of thrones before Iron Man
Like, how lmao
After X-Men 3 Last Stand they said that was it for the older cast of X-Men. But when this came out AND that X-Men 2 theme song played, yo the theatre was alive.
Iceman is immortal in ice form.
In the comics, originally, Magneto was the father of Peter and Wanda Maximoff... that's why Quicksilver mentions that his mom knew someone who could control metal.
VKunia, Evan Peters showing up in Wandavision was supposed to be a whole easter egg/shocking moment where we were like, "omg?! Are they finally gonna do xmen?!" Everyone who was watching it then gasped lol.
You just watched it out of order so you didn't get the same effect : )
Logan extends original bone claws. "I called it."
Ok, I respect that you’ve seen spaceballs. Nice reference
This in my eyes is the best movie based on a Marvel-comicbook
EVER
DONE
!!!
29:21 the girl on his hip, yep she's wanda... From another universe
I've never saw before anyone who likes James McAvoy as much as me
The whole time travel concept is also used in DC Comics, mainly involving Flash. Also, it's appropriate that you mention Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator since James Cameron was one of the consulting people for the film and screenplay along with Chris Claremont, who wrote the initial comic book storyline for Uncanny X-Men.
Days of Future Past was the name of The epic concept album by The Moody Blues (from.. well, more than 40 years ago).
The movie is really good, though
22 points!
This is probably my favourite X-Men movie! Tho Apocalypse is probably my favourite Magneto movie.
*Really, i can´t stop to crying when Logan see Jean... Oh God... T-T*
I have loved watching the movie "with you" lately, the movies and series you see, I like them a lot and I also like your reactions a lot, you can tell they are true, keep it up and a hug from Valencia Spain from a fan.❤❤❤
Since you enjoyed this, you should search out and watch the "Rogue Cut" version of this movie. Rogue was originally supposed to be an important part but they cut all her scenes except the last little cameo. The Rogue Cut restores them and makes an even better version of this movie.
The end credit seen shows Apocalypse, the world's first mutant building the pyramid with his Four Horsemen watching from afar.
Funny you should mention about Mystique being at the forefront and a main part of the story. They chenged everything from the comics to make her front and center because of the actress playing her. She was never a main character.
Also, she never HAD any connection/relationsh ip (or lack thereof) with Charles in the comics either.....except as adversaries!
@@brianvalencia7717 Truth!
Quicksilver is Eric's son and the post credit scene was Apocalypse
I didn't know my mouse could move as fast as it did when I went to click on this vid! keep up the great reactions Vicky! I'm happy I was able to make it to your B-day stream
25:17 Doc&Marty's Seal of Approval!
4:11 That "we kill the bad guys" sounds like "everyone kills" to me.
An example to follow, we all "have" to kill.😆🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
If you can find it, there is a "Rogue cut" of this movie, certain things happen slightly differently.
You & I had the same reaction to mystic being striker when lifting login out of the river... Shock and Delight
Trask being an anagram of "Stark" is probably coincidental. W.r.t. the GoT/ASoIaF Starks, the first book of that series was begun in 1991 and published in 1996. Bolivar Trask is an X-Men villain character going back to the '60s. W.r.t. Tony Stark, it's actually probably still coincidental.
This one and Logan are my favorite. 🤘🤘can't wait for Logan. The scene with both James McAvoy and Patrick Stewart 😭😭
I am having a horrible day, but this makes it so much better
Love your Reactions, keep up the good work.
@14:14 "He's so good!" Now you know why the *ENTIRE* X-Men fanbase felt that the "Ralph BONER" thing was a huge spit and slap in the face.
Even if not as reaction, the 90s cartoon is definitely worth watching.
"Eric is such Sagittarius vibes"
Funniest thing I've heard all week
Apocalypse is also awesome, can't wait to see your reaction
It would've been cooler having a whole movie about mutants fighting for their survival in this future
Because the future scenes were far more interesting than the past scenes
Couldn't agree more
@Kyle Campbell The past is important for the future to make any sense
i agree they focused way too much on the past and barely on the future
This was certainly one of the best in the franchise! 😁
One of the most emotionally satisfying endings in a superhero movie.
32:50 Well, when Apocalypse is the one building them, it's better to worship the guy making them instead of, ya know, pissing off one of the most powerful mutants to have ever existed :D
Quite possibly the best X-Men movie. A fantastic yet cohesive plot, multi-generational incarnations of the characters, excellent writing, amazing cast (as always), and it really grabs you from beginning to end like few movies do (in or out of the Super-Hero genre).
@13:25, if nobody has mentioned it yet - for a time in the comics Magneto was the father of Wanda and Pietro. But I believe it got retconned sometime in the last 20 years.
Trask looks more like a Lannister than a Stark to me.
The quicksilver scenes are the best in this & Apocolypse still🔥
