Another actor did the voice though. Ray was also Snake Eyes in the G.I.Joe movies. All these years later, he's still got Darth Maul's moves. I think he even gives a little nod to Maul during a fight scene with Storm in this one.
Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellan are like the cutest best friends ever. The bromance between these two is so adorable and we've watched it since this movie premiered 24 years ago. They are two of the kindest, sweetest, hippest, loving old men in the world. ❤
When Jay realized that the guy who plays Magneto is the same actor ( Sir Ian McKellen, FYI) who plays Gandalf and got excited, that made me smile. I can't wait for them to find out what other famous character Patrick ( Professor X) Stewart plays in popular culture, but they haven't even started their Original journey,yet! I hope that they start Star Trek, sooner than later.

Say what you will about the Emoji Movie, Patrick Stewart was the sh*t in that film.
I am a 68 yo black woman. My mother was born with a patch of white hair in the front of her head. I look just like my Mom. I started to develop a white patch when I turned 16yo. My daughter looks like me and my Mom. She developed a white patch at 17 yo. She has a daughter who looks exactly like my Mom. She will be 16 this year. My daughter and I are breathlessly waiting to see if she will develop the white patch and at what age. My white patch turned into a entire head of white hair with some gray patches. If I say so myself....it is beautiful.
You're racking up the likes, so I'll add one more. I met up with my girlfriend from the 80s and I she'd developed into a silver fox. Looked great, but she's crazy. Spending time with her in the hood turned my beard WHITE in 9 days. It initially looked like I had been hit with a lighting bolt, big streak, then spread. But the hair on my head might have 5 grey strands total.
My great-grandmother had jet-black hair but developed a white streak in her twenties. Unfortunately it didn't get passed down to the rest of us but I love looking at old photos of her back then. It was such a cool look.
Wesley Blade was the 1st Marvel blockbuster movie. It helped pave the way. But as for the 1st super powered Hero Film, that would be the original black and white Superman movie.
Cyclops optic blasts are concussive. There’s no heat. He can also punch a hole through a mountain. He’s one of the most dangerous and courageous members of the X-Men. He also can’t turn off the blasts. He must always wear ruby-quartz lenses to screen the force.
@@gigi-ij1hk I mean...Wolverine was originally intended to be a mutated Wolverine rather than a mutant Canadian. So...yeah...a little off base. But I don't really blame her. To my knowledge, there are zero Wolverines naturally occurring in Oklahoma.
- This was the film debut of Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine. Before this, Jackman was in a major revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma for the National Theater in London. A video of that production can be found online, and he played Curly, who sings "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning." Since then, Jackman is about to be seen in his 10th appearance as Wolverine in Deadpool and Wolverine with Ryan Reynolds. He has also made many amazing films, including musicals (Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, P.T. Barnum in The Greatest Showman), romantic comedies (Kate & Leopold), action films (Swordfish, Van Helsing) and others. One of my favorites that is a mindbender is The Fountain...it actually takes at least two or three viewings to get that movie. - Famke Janssen who plays Jean Grey was in another huge franchise for only one film. She played a villainess in the James Bod film GoldenEye, which was the debut of Pierce Brosnan as Bond in 1995. Her name in the film is...unique and memorable and perfect for a Bond girl. - Bryan Singer, besides directing many of the X-Men films (directing four, but having input on others) also directed The Usual Suspects, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Superman Returns (an attempt to reboot the Superman films before Man of Steel and the DCEU). He directed Kevin Spacey to his Oscar for Verbal Kint in Suspects, and Rami Malek to his Oscar for Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. - The chemistry between Sir Ian McKellen (Magneto) and Sir Patrick Stewart (Professor X) is one of the highlights of these films. They knew of each other before X-Men, as they are both well regarded and established stage actors with lots of Shakespeare roles between them, but had never met in real life. Since then, they have become best friends. They are extremely close...in fact, when Patrick married his wife, Sunny, Ian officiated the nuptials. They have done plays together in London and New York as well as other X-Men films. These men are the definition of friendship goals.
Prof X, Magneto and Wolverine together on The Graham Norton show is perhaps the single best episode of any late night talk show ever. Their respect and love for each other and the brotherhood they formed stand out and their stories are hilarious. Sir Pat Stew 😄
Slight correction about referring to Superman Returns as a reboot... Superman Returns is, actually, meant to be a direct continuation/sequel to the original Superman movies with Christopher Reeve. They basically ignored the 3rd and 4th movies but, it is meant to be in the same movie universe as the original two (which is why they incorporated footage of Marlon Brando as Jor-El from the first film). Just to distinguish it from something like Man of Steel, which is a proper reboot (i.e. it starts the story from scratch & exists in its own separate universe from the Christopher Reeve films). But, everything else you mentioned is correct! Great sum-up!! ☺
@@SwiftFoxProductions You are right, in a way. It was trying to start the franchise up again, but yes it was exactly as you said. I already had a long post, so...I fudged it a bit. I saw Superman The Movie when I was 6 in the theater in 1978..it's one of my favorite movies, favorite franchises, and favorite comic book characters. Thanks!
Famke Janssen was also a guest star in an episode of Star Trek TNG along side Sir Partick Stewart who was one of the main characters of the show more then a decade before this Movie.
He'd already been signed as Gandalf before filming began on X-Men but the shoot overran. Peter Jackson rearranged the shoot in NZ to accommodate Ian finishing X-Men with Bryan Singers help. He finished on a Friday, jumped on a plane on the Saturday and was filming at Bag End on the Monday.
@@wrorchestra1 ok it's been a while since I'd heard the extended edition commentary of fellowship All i remember that ian was around for filming in January 2000, which was when x men was done filming so I went with it
Do Superman (1978) ,soon. You will love Christopher Reeves as Clark Kent/ Superman and he really sold his dual roles. He made you believe Clark was a stumble bum and as soon as he took off the glasses, you saw Superman.
The opening of this film really gives it gravitas. You've got to watch 'Blade'. That's the real if unofficial start of the Marvel superhero films, not to mention an influence on 'The Matrix'. And it's a really good film.
You just blew my mind! All this time I figured you weren't reacting to any Marvel movies because you saw them in the theater! I am SO excited to watch them again, with you! 🥰
Don't know which cartoon you used to watch, but X-Men '97 (2024) is currently the best adaptation in the entire franchise. Highly recommended even to those who have never seen the 90s show.
I always like to make Fun Facts. One thing I hate is when someone gets mad at you for making a fun fact. Someone got mad at me just for saying Magneto son is Quicksilver and his daughter is Scarlet Witch. I said its not spoiling the story lol
You're not getting that for years... if they do get it on here They may just watch it in private because there are so many mcu things to watch and they still have a family to raise and other things to watch/do
Rogue is extremely powerful, she just can't control her power. If she touches you temporarily, if you're a mutant for example, she will absorb their powers. If she was to touch you too long, she could kill or send that person into a deep coma and she would keep that power permanently. The Rogue version in the movies kind of got screwed over because she is far more powerful in the comics. In the comics she permanently took the powers of a powerful Marvel character. Since X-Men and the MCU rights were ran by different movie companies at the time, Rogue couldn't have that Marvel's character's powers. Trying not to spoil, but Jay should know if he watched the cartoons from the early 90s. Sabertooth has fast healing like Wolverine does BTW.
One of my favorite superhero movies! Hugh Jackman is perfect as Wolverine as he's been playing the character for 25 years in 9 movies and will be making his 10th appearance in DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE.
If you’ve ever been discriminated for being gay, or being black, or being Jewish u Understand x men there’s lots of civil rights movement going Also, magneto, Xavier may see things differently, but they both have mutual respect for each other so that’s why they was playing chess together
The overweight trucker who gives Rogue a lift in the beginning and is the one who was "napping" during Wolverine's bar brawl is the original voice actor for Beast in the 90's animated X-Men.
Ironic bit of casting; the actor who plays Toad is Ray Park; who is better known for playing Darth Maul in Star Wars - Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999). Also, this is the second time that Sir Patrick Stewart (Xavier) and Famke Janssen (Jean Grey) worked together on screen. They first worked together when Janssen guest-starred on an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994). In that episode, her character was an empath who had developed a relationship with Captain Picard (Stewart).
Awesome reaction vid, thanks for this one. Fun obscure fact, the guy who was asleep in the bar when Logan shows off his claws is the voice actor for Beast in the original X-men cartoon series
Oh, quick trivia fact: the actress that plays Rogue (who can take other mutant's powers) had already won an Academy Award by the time she was in X-Men for the movie "The Piano". And when she grew up, she played the main character Sookie in the series "True Blood".
Okay, since you're entering into superhero territory, might I suggest knocking out these movies franchises: X-Men, of course. Tobey Macguire (Spiderman films) Andrew Garfield (Spiderman films) The Venom films. Then, most importantly, watch The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) IN RELEASE ORDER! Trust me, you won't be disappointed. P.S. don't forget The Deadpool films! 🙃
Just the 1st 3 X-Men and 1st Spider-Man trilogy would be nice with the Blade trilogy thrown in because, honestly, without those franchises being profitable, we wouldn't have gotten the MCU.
Imagine going into this already being a fan of the comic books in the 60, 70s, 80s and 90s. We were making comparisons left and right to see what source material it followed and what it didn't. It was enjoyable.
The first time my brother and I saw Patrick Stewart walk onto the bridge of the Starship Enterprise, we looked at each other and said It's Charles Xavier!!! He was born to play this role. :D P.S. - I'm old and saw ST:TNG in its original air run in 1987.
I was a fan since the 80's. When I heard any news about a comic book movie being made I tried my damndest to get a y behind the scene production information cause I was so eager to see *any* comic book adaptation on the screen. Odd that back the it was difficult to get any info while today info spreads if we want it to or not and people get so mad about spoilers. I remember reading in Wizard magazine that director Brian Singer banned any of his cast and crew from reading the comics at all. He didn't want them to be influenced by the source material so they could only create what he wanted. Jackman still went around him to learn about Wolverine and it shows in his dedication to the character.
Case in point, wolverines are not even in the same classification or family as wolves. They are actually members of the Mustelidae family. Weasels and martens are also members of that family.
I’m with you, man. Hearing her compare Wolverine and wolves just made me not want to watch this video. Like how dumb are these reactors? And the way they react to Magneto’s holocaust? “How terrible” “is that not a heart wrenching scene?”
Some helpful tips from a guy whose been reading comics (especially X-Men) since the 80's: - Sabertooth is very similar to Wolverine. He has a fast healing power, incredibly strong, animalistic senses (smell, hearing, etc) and those fingernail claws are strong and sharp enough to cut through some metals. But he's psychotic. The actor that played him in this movie is actually a professional wrestler named Tyler Mane - Wolverine in the comics is actually very short. About 5ft. Hugh Jackman is about 6ft. But he did great with the part so comic fans have given him a pass. He loves his cigars. - Magneto and Xavier are Omega level mutants. Which means that they are among the most powerful mutants. Magneto can tap into the Earth's magnetic field and wreck destruction around the world if he really tries. - Jean Grey (Marvel Girl) has both the powers of Telekenisis (moving things with her mind) and telepathy (reading peoples minds and controlling them). Whereas Xavier just has telepathy. Jean is an Omega level mutant as well as you'll find out.
Great reaction! Wolverine is not like a wolf...he's like a wolverine, which is smaller and more similar to a badger than a wolf, but one of the most fearsome creatures in nature, with long claws. They mainly exist now in Alaska and Canada. A bit of interesting trivia for you: Here are some of the iconic roles which were first offered to Sean Connery, but he turned them down: 1) Magneto in these movies 2) Gandolf in Lord of the Rings 3) Morpheus in the Matrix 4) Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter 5) John Hammond in Jurassic Park 6) The male lead in Alfred Hitchcocks The Birds 7) He was considered for the role of Deckard in Blade Runner, but Harrison Ford got the part 8) Simon Gruber, the bad guy from Die Hard 9) Frank Horrigan from In the Line of Fire, the role played by Clint Eastwood 10) The lead role in Instinct, that was played by Anthony Hopkins 11) The terrorist in The Jackal, that was played by Bruce Willis 12) Ed Lewis from Pretty Woman, that was played by Richard Gere 13) King Richard in drag, from Robinhood: Men in Tights 14) The lead role in the classic movie Shogun 15) He was considered for the role of Captain Von Trapp in The Sound of Music 16) Live and Let Die, a James Bond movie he turned down 17) On Her Majesty's Secret Service, another James Bond movie
Oh Mercy! I'm glad he either turned down or was passed over for most of those roles on that list. The Sound of Music? REALLY??? Someone else would have to do his singing. Deckard in Blade Runner??? NOOO!!! Gandalf? NOOOO!
@@NavvyMom Christopher Plummer got the role in "The Sound of Music." And someone else did do the singing. I believe that he and the Mother Superior were the only characters in that film whose singing voices were dubbed by others.
@@bobbuethe1477 Okay, thanks for the info on Plummer. I always wondered but wasn't sure. Just looked it up. He sang on camera but Bill Lee was dubbed over. Awesome job by Lee to sync audio to Plummer's mouth movements. But getting back to Connery, I don't like his speaking voice. He always sounds like he has marbles in his mouth.
@@NavvyMom I only knew it because a couple of hours ago, my wife and I watched a "Sound of Music" reaction video, and she looked up whether Plummer did his own singing. 🙂
@@NavvyMom Sean Connery was actually a pretty good singer. Here's a link to a youtube video where he sings in the movie Darby O'Gill and the Little People: th-cam.com/video/eTwmjOySDjA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PqCITgCLg7wXEBW2 And he was an incredibly talented actor that I think could have made any of those roles I mentioned his own.
I wouldn't say they have the same healing abilities. Sabretooth does have some healing abilities, but they're *NOTHING* compared to the healing abilities of Wolverine
20:40 Far right with glasses is The 1st of many Stan Lee cameos in Marvel movies. He along with Kirby/Ditko are the creators of many of the characters these films are based off. Look out for him 😊
Ian McKellan steals the damn show. Every one of his lines lives rent free in my head. "You homo sapiens and yer *guns!* " *Dart to Neck* "...Young people." Charles: Humanity has evolved since then. Eric: Yes. Into us.
That 'young people' is my favourite. For just a moment, this badass supervillain becomes just a crotchety old man who's one step away from telling Wolverine to get a haircut lol.
@@zufgh Fun fact? My first usage of the phrase: "Look at those damn kids..." Came at age 10. (I was talking about high schoolers. My dad did a double take.)
What we all love about the X-Men is all the relationships we see grow and evolve Jean and Scott, Jean and Wolverine, Charles Xavier and Magneto etc. I enjoy Xavier and Magneto's the most because we all see how enemies can still be good friends at the same time Ideologies mix but the people who mix them up still have huge respect for each other The comics and cartoon from the 90s show this to great effect You should rewatch it again Jay
Toad in theory has some pretty cool powers, stick to walls, prehensile tongue, super jumping, projectile mucus spit. It’s like he was bitten by a radioactive toad.
Storm is one of the most powerful mutants in the Marvel universe! It's not just about striking people with lighting, she has precise control over every aspect of the weather, across tiny spaces or vast distances. The other movies show more of what she's capable of, as does the new cartoon (X-Men 97).
If you haven’t already realised, this movie was directed by Bryan Singer, one of his first successful superhero movies … he’s also the director for “The Usual Suspects”.
I haven't seen any comments about the actor playing sabertooth. It is Tyler Mane, he played Micheal Myers in Rob Zombies Halloween and Halloween 2. Started as a wrestler and transitioned to acting
Xmen are marvel movies License to Fox, Spider-man is licensed to Sony. And take place in different universes. Marvel studios have their own movies and these are known as the MCU. You should look up the order to watch them in as these movies are all connected. For the MCU start with iron man
According to Rebecca Romijn: It was a nine-hour makeup process for Mystique. We did, over the course of three movies, manage to get it down to seven hours, but that was still ... It was a big deal.
9 hrs in the make-up chair ??? So she problably had to come to set in the wee hrs of the morning.When I was in the army stationed in Korea had to be at work at 3:30 am and work non-stop till after the lunch rush ( then had a 30 minute break )then work non-stop till 8: 00 pm.Kept this schedule because we didn't have enough personnel to run 2 shifts like back in the states.Being so busy made the time go by so-FAST-tho.
@@user-be7tc2bd6e First off thank you for your service. Truly appreciated. By the time Jennifer Lawrence took on the role of Mystique she had to wait for a whole eight hours while blue paint was applied to every single part of her body. Not only that, but it took six make-up artists to apply it. And calling it a makeup chair is putting it nicely, as a period of the application required Lawrence to sit on a bicycle so the makeup artists could get to the harder parts of her body.
@@Markyajv Thank you for recognizing my service,it's appreciated.Telling me all this behind the scenes stuff of what Lawrence had to go through ( That part about 6 make-up artists to apply make-up truly awesome ) I tip my hat to her and the make-up artists,they have my-MAJOR-respect.8 hrs to apply and cover Lawrence's entire body is insane tho. LOL. I mean this in a good way tho.Thanks for the behind the scenes info,didn't know any of this.
Toad, possesses a number of amphibian-like mutant abilities. His most well-known power is his superhuman leaping ability, allowing him to jump vast distances and heights. Additionally, his legs are incredibly strong, enabling him to propel himself with great force. Over time, Toad's mutation has evolved, granting him new abilities. These include a long, prehensile tongue that he can use for grappling and attacks, as well as the ability to secrete a sticky mucus that can adhere to surfaces and even trap opponents
After you finish with the X-Men, we ALL would love to see your reactions from the 2000s Spider-Man movies! The 2000s Marvel movie era was such good entertainment!
Rebecca Romijn, who played Mystique, said that it actually wasn't that much fun playing Mystique in this movie, because many of the cool things Mystique did were actually done by the actors playing the characters she was impersonating, not by her. Because of this, the director gave her one cool scene in the second movie that she could do on her own.
Professor X and Magneto were once close friends. Magneto knew how to sabotage Cerebro, the machine Xavier uses to amplify his powers because he helped build it. I’d be thrilled to have several of the mutants’ powers: Magneto, Storm, Mystique, Wolverine, Jean Gray (she didn’t show off much in this movie), even the girl who ran thru the door.
I watched most of the X-Men movies with my 13-year-old niece this weekend. She is HOOKED. It was so great to open up TH-cam this morning and see that you two had uploaded an X-Men reaction just a couple days ago! Really enjoyed this one. :) I saw these as they were released. They were such a huge deal, and it's nice to see the next generations enjoying them too. Looking forward to seeing more from you two!
How was this movie released 24 years ago? DANG I AM OLD 😵 Anyway, this introduced Hugh Jackman to the world and stepped up the superhero movie as a genre. When X2 came out a few years later I officially became obsessed (because of Nightcrawler). Can't wait for you to see that one!
@18:20 .... I dont wanna Pew Pew! out of my eyes..... Funniest comment ever!!!!! And you didn't even see what Cyclops could do yet, lol. It is always so fun hanging out with you two, watching movies ives seen a million times but enjoying watching your first time reactions. We are huge fans of Rob Squad, and we look forward to seeing more.
When this was happening and they said this 6'3" Aussie was being Wolverine, I was like, first off Wolverine is my fave X-men character and he's like 5'8". This dude had better be good and had better not screw this up. Hugh Jackman is BEYOND. This was an EXCELLENT start. Some lines were gold. Storm's line to Toad was...WTF but, you will LOVE this series. I will say this, rewatch the last part, as the ray was scattering pay attention to Jean Grey and you'll see a hint about where the next movies are headed. There are so many BTS factoids about thus movie, like Hugh Jackman getting his "junk" twisted in the stunt ropes. 😂😂
8:42, fun fact about Wolverine. He initially comes off grumpy and mean but to the his friends he can be a teddy bear. In the comics he would often be paired up with younger mutants (usually female) in a big brother mentor role. Rogue, Kitty Pryde( the young girl who walks through walls) and Jubilee (a young Asian girl who shoots fireworks) have all been his protege/sidekick
OMG Yes!!! Will not disappoint, you might be intrigued by the characters: Wolverine, Professor X, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Mystique, Rogue, Magneto, Storm, Sabretooth, Beast, Nightcrawler, Jubilee, etc!!
Fun fact about Storm: not only is she one of the most powerful mutants in the world, even being worshipped as a goddess...she's also descended from a long line of sorceresses/priestesses in Africa, and has the potential to become a powerful sorceress in her own right. She's also an expert thief and pickpocket, due to her childhood on the streets in Cairo after she was orphaned.
A likely unintentional added reason why this is such a great franchise to begin now is that its Pride Month. And to many people, the struggle for mutant rights in the comics and the movie are like an allegory of the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights. While Stan Lee never intended for mutants to be an allegory for LGBTQ+ people, I can certainly see why people believe that they were intended to be. Both groups are born that way, typically to a pair of "normal" people as parents. Both groups appear totally "normal" at birth, then manifest during puberty. Both groups are persecuted as being "dangerous" to "normal" children. X-Men 2 leans a little more heavily into these parallels, giving Bobby a "coming out" scene with his family, and his mother asking him "Have you ever tried not being a mutant?" In any case, this is a great series of movies for you guys to start reacting to and i can't wait to see you guys watch the next one.
@Thundarr100 "No amount of words -- of derision, distrust, or disinformation can change the truth that each one of us: man, woman, Black, Hispanic, Jew, Asian, Native American, homosexual, mutant, everyone underneath all the words . . . We are all family." -Professor Xavier, Uncanny X-Men #294
You are in for a treat. My only advice to you is watch the Marvel movies in order. You’ll understand why as you delve deeper into the MCU. Enjoy the journey. It’s well worth it 🇨🇦
Just to give context to Wolverines healing ability, in the comic books he once regenerate from a single drop of blood. Y'all also need to start on the MCU (Starting with Iron Man and watch them in release order)
Her shorter hairs works so much better for her; not just more flattering, but makes so much more sense. Can you imagine having a power that's constantly whipping up the air around you into a frenzy, and having LONG hair? What a nightmare.
Storm is one of the most powerful mutants. In the top of 'List of Most Known Characters' you'll find Phoenix (Jean Grey), Scarlett Witch (Wanda Maximoff) and Magneto among that "elite". Storm and Tchala got married in the comics, so Storm becomes Queen of Wakanda.
This casting was perfect. Especially Xavier and Magneto. In the comics, Charles and Eric are great friends, who want the same thing "Mutant Freedom". They just have different ways of getting there. Magneto could care less if regular humans are here. And Charles wants there to be coexistence. That's why they were playing chess together. There is and will always be love between the two. In real life Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen (they are both Knighted!) are also really good friends. So, the chemistry is super natural.
Fun Fact, Ray Park is the one playing Toad. He also played Darth Maul in Phantom Menace
Another actor did the voice though. Ray was also Snake Eyes in the G.I.Joe movies. All these years later, he's still got Darth Maul's moves. I think he even gives a little nod to Maul during a fight scene with Storm in this one.
Top martial artist, fight choreographer. He doesn't play 🇬🇧
@@passionsquietrage yeah, he does a little spin with the weapon.
He also was the stunt actor of the headless horseman in sleepy hallow with Johnny Depp.
He also portrayed (happy I didn't say, 'played'? ;) ) one of the Lucas Ranch's guards in "Fanboys".
Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellan are like the cutest best friends ever. The bromance between these two is so adorable and we've watched it since this movie premiered 24 years ago. They are two of the kindest, sweetest, hippest, loving old men in the world. ❤

I can't wait for them to find out what other famous character Patrick ( Professor X) Stewart plays in popular culture, but they haven't even started their Original journey,yet! I hope that they start Star Trek, sooner than later.
Say what you will about the Emoji Movie, Patrick Stewart was the sh*t in that film.
To me he was Leon De Grance and Gurney Halick way before that other...
And Toad is Darth Maul, Ray Park.
Love him as Adventure!
The emoji comment is underrated AF!

so, pretty much Storm!!
X-Men along with Spider-Man in 2002 are the movies most responsible for kickstarting the modern era of superhero films
Superhero movies never left since Superman.
I'd say blade was a major factor as well
Wesley Blade was the 1st Marvel blockbuster movie. It helped pave the way. But as for the 1st super powered Hero Film, that would be the original black and white Superman movie.

Cyclops optic blasts are concussive. There’s no heat. He can also punch a hole through a mountain. He’s one of the most dangerous and courageous members of the X-Men.
He also can’t turn off the blasts. He must always wear ruby-quartz lenses to screen the force.
"Cuz he's like a wolf!"
Or.... like a wolverine? Yeah thats an actual animal.
Wolverine is just a name, he’s Animalistic and has enhanced senses,a wolf has a better nose than a wolverine 😂

@@gigi-ij1hk I mean...Wolverine was originally intended to be a mutated Wolverine rather than a mutant Canadian. So...yeah...a little off base.
But I don't really blame her. To my knowledge, there are zero Wolverines naturally occurring in Oklahoma.
@@dabbadonisthestout7284 I dunno about that. A wolverine can supposedly smell frozen meat that's been buried deep under frozen ground.

- This was the film debut of Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine. Before this, Jackman was in a major revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma for the National Theater in London. A video of that production can be found online, and he played Curly, who sings "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning." Since then, Jackman is about to be seen in his 10th appearance as Wolverine in Deadpool and Wolverine with Ryan Reynolds. He has also made many amazing films, including musicals (Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, P.T. Barnum in The Greatest Showman), romantic comedies (Kate & Leopold), action films (Swordfish, Van Helsing) and others. One of my favorites that is a mindbender is The Fountain...it actually takes at least two or three viewings to get that movie.
- Famke Janssen who plays Jean Grey was in another huge franchise for only one film. She played a villainess in the James Bod film GoldenEye, which was the debut of Pierce Brosnan as Bond in 1995. Her name in the film is...unique and memorable and perfect for a Bond girl.
- Bryan Singer, besides directing many of the X-Men films (directing four, but having input on others) also directed The Usual Suspects, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Superman Returns (an attempt to reboot the Superman films before Man of Steel and the DCEU). He directed Kevin Spacey to his Oscar for Verbal Kint in Suspects, and Rami Malek to his Oscar for Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody.
- The chemistry between Sir Ian McKellen (Magneto) and Sir Patrick Stewart (Professor X) is one of the highlights of these films. They knew of each other before X-Men, as they are both well regarded and established stage actors with lots of Shakespeare roles between them, but had never met in real life. Since then, they have become best friends. They are extremely close...in fact, when Patrick married his wife, Sunny, Ian officiated the nuptials. They have done plays together in London and New York as well as other X-Men films. These men are the definition of friendship goals.
Prof X, Magneto and Wolverine together on The Graham Norton show is perhaps the single best episode of any late night talk show ever. Their respect and love for each other and the brotherhood they formed stand out and their stories are hilarious. Sir Pat Stew 😄
Slight correction about referring to Superman Returns as a reboot... Superman Returns is, actually, meant to be a direct continuation/sequel to the original Superman movies with Christopher Reeve. They basically ignored the 3rd and 4th movies but, it is meant to be in the same movie universe as the original two (which is why they incorporated footage of Marlon Brando as Jor-El from the first film). Just to distinguish it from something like Man of Steel, which is a proper reboot (i.e. it starts the story from scratch & exists in its own separate universe from the Christopher Reeve films). But, everything else you mentioned is correct! Great sum-up!! ☺
@@SwiftFoxProductions You are right, in a way. It was trying to start the franchise up again, but yes it was exactly as you said. I already had a long post, so...I fudged it a bit. I saw Superman The Movie when I was 6 in the theater in 1978..it's one of my favorite movies, favorite franchises, and favorite comic book characters. Thanks!
@@AFC-OKCfan97-98 These guys are all class acts! Just absolute gentlemen and bros!
Famke Janssen was also a guest star in an episode of Star Trek TNG along side Sir Partick Stewart who was one of the main characters of the show more then a decade before this Movie.
The actress that played Mystique in this movie was married to "Uncle Jesse" John Stamos in real life.
Rebecca Romijn!!! Grrrr baby, very grrrr!
Now she's married to Jerry O'Connell.
@@jabronijoeoutdoors
He's Vern, the little fat friend from the movie Stand By Me.
Jerry O'Connell also played a superhero (of sorts) in the TV series "My Secret Identity" (1988-91).
she also plays #1 in star trek strange new worlds.
Ian mckellen was just finished filming this movie
when he was contacted by Peter Jackson and his producers and asked him to be Gandalf
He'd already been signed as Gandalf before filming began on X-Men but the shoot overran. Peter Jackson rearranged the shoot in NZ to accommodate Ian finishing X-Men with Bryan Singers help. He finished on a Friday, jumped on a plane on the Saturday and was filming at Bag End on the Monday.
@@wrorchestra1 ok it's been a while since I'd heard the extended edition commentary of fellowship
All i remember that ian was around for filming in January 2000, which was when x men was done filming so I went with it
X2 and X-Men First class are the best movies in the series, in my opinion. This first one is really good and sets the tone nicely.
Days of future past and Logan?
Can’t wait for them to find Antman. That one is a hoot.
Loagan is the best one EVER.
X2, DOFP & Logan for me.
I fell asleep watching First Class the first time I watched it
You’re absolutely right and you should say it. X2 and First Class supremacy.
Do Superman (1978) ,soon. You will love Christopher Reeves as Clark Kent/ Superman and he really sold his dual roles. He made you believe Clark was a stumble bum and as soon as he took off the glasses, you saw Superman.
I second this request 😎
Jay looking like a kid on Saturday morning watching cartoons 😂
The opening of this film really gives it gravitas. You've got to watch 'Blade'. That's the real if unofficial start of the Marvel superhero films, not to mention an influence on 'The Matrix'. And it's a really good film.
Exactly, without Blade being a modest success and stemming 2 sequels, if it hadn't been a hit,X-Men and Spider-Man wouldn't have been made.
You just opened Pandora’s Box. 😆
You just blew my mind! All this time I figured you weren't reacting to any Marvel movies because you saw them in the theater! I am SO excited to watch them again, with you! 🥰
The problem isn't that the mutants are mutants, it's that they're also human.
Don't know which cartoon you used to watch, but X-Men '97 (2024) is currently the best adaptation in the entire franchise. Highly recommended even to those who have never seen the 90s show.
If nobody has mentioned it yet, the guy playing Toad is the same person that played Darth Maul in Star Wars .
I watched both movies when they came out and the rest of those franchises, and i didn't knew that. Wow
@@Square-ow7oq Ray Park also played Snake Eyes in the truly awful G.I. Joe movies.
...they can't all be winners.
@TheAcademizer i didn't watched that but I'm glad he stayed employed 😂
I was today years old when I found this nugget of info. Wow
Fun fact in the comics Storm marries Black Panther. Making her Queen of Wakanda!
And that was a demotion, since when she was a teenager she was worshipped as a goddess.
So Thundercats...
I always like to make Fun Facts. One thing I hate is when someone gets mad at you for making a fun fact. Someone got mad at me just for saying Magneto son is Quicksilver and his daughter is Scarlet Witch. I said its not spoiling the story lol
Not in this day a day and age. 😢
So cool!
Rob Squad: Once you start the X-Men timeline, you will want to finish...
Big rabbit hole here. Enjoy the ride!
Christ, your Endgame reaction is gonna get 1,000,000 views
You're not getting that for years... if they do get it on here
They may just watch it in private because there are so many mcu things to watch and they still have a family to raise and other things to watch/do
@KarlKraus1 yeesh yeah I just did the math.
Dave Cockrum was a friend of mine. He created Night Crawler, Storm and Colossus to just name a few.
i love the costume designs he did for the Legion of Superheroes.
Rogue is extremely powerful, she just can't control her power. If she touches you temporarily, if you're a mutant for example, she will absorb their powers. If she was to touch you too long, she could kill or send that person into a deep coma and she would keep that power permanently. The Rogue version in the movies kind of got screwed over because she is far more powerful in the comics. In the comics she permanently took the powers of a powerful Marvel character. Since X-Men and the MCU rights were ran by different movie companies at the time, Rogue couldn't have that Marvel's character's powers. Trying not to spoil, but Jay should know if he watched the cartoons from the early 90s. Sabertooth has fast healing like Wolverine does BTW.
One of my favorite superhero movies!
Hugh Jackman is perfect as Wolverine as he's been playing the character for 25 years in 9 movies and will be making his 10th appearance in DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE.
If you’ve ever been discriminated for being gay, or being black, or being Jewish u Understand x men there’s lots of civil rights movement going Also, magneto, Xavier may see things differently, but they both have mutual respect for each other so that’s why they was playing chess together
You both are in for a treat with this movie. Mystique is one of the best villains. Her fighting is more beautiful than hurtful. In my opinion
The overweight trucker who gives Rogue a lift in the beginning and is the one who was "napping" during Wolverine's bar brawl is the original voice actor for Beast in the 90's animated X-Men.
X-men: The Last Stand 2006 and Days of Future Past 2014, I want you guys to get there. It's so emotional. I love it and want to see your reactions.
Ironic bit of casting; the actor who plays Toad is Ray Park; who is better known for playing Darth Maul in Star Wars - Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999).
Also, this is the second time that Sir Patrick Stewart (Xavier) and Famke Janssen (Jean Grey) worked together on screen. They first worked together when Janssen guest-starred on an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994). In that episode, her character was an empath who had developed a relationship with Captain Picard (Stewart).
Poor Jean-Luc a victim of his own savoir fairs, she didn’t stand a chance
Funnily enough, in the comics Prof. X has an unrequited love for Jean mentioned once in the 60's, but not again until the 1996 Onslaught storyline.
Awesome reaction vid, thanks for this one.
Fun obscure fact, the guy who was asleep in the bar when Logan shows off his claws is the voice actor for Beast in the original X-men cartoon series
Mystique and I share the same first name! ;)
ur parents r kool.
Oh, quick trivia fact: the actress that plays Rogue (who can take other mutant's powers) had already won an Academy Award by the time she was in X-Men for the movie "The Piano". And when she grew up, she played the main character Sookie in the series "True Blood".
"wolverine could smell him coming" "cuz he's like a wolf"
Orr... Like a wolverine. 😜
Okay, since you're entering into superhero territory, might I suggest knocking out these movies franchises:
X-Men, of course.
Tobey Macguire (Spiderman films)
Andrew Garfield (Spiderman films)
The Venom films.
Then, most importantly, watch The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) IN RELEASE ORDER! Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
P.S. don't forget The Deadpool films! 🙃
Just the 1st 3 X-Men and 1st Spider-Man trilogy would be nice with the Blade trilogy thrown in because, honestly, without those franchises being profitable, we wouldn't have gotten the MCU.
Aye, tis True.
@@brianmcmaster5112
After watching their Clerks reaction, Jay might have a heart attack during Deadpool.
Imagine going into this already being a fan of the comic books in the 60, 70s, 80s and 90s. We were making comparisons left and right to see what source material it followed and what it didn't. It was enjoyable.
The first time my brother and I saw Patrick Stewart walk onto the bridge of the Starship Enterprise, we looked at each other and said It's Charles Xavier!!! He was born to play this role. :D
P.S. - I'm old and saw ST:TNG in its original air run in 1987.
I was a fan since the 80's. When I heard any news about a comic book movie being made I tried my damndest to get a y behind the scene production information cause I was so eager to see *any* comic book adaptation on the screen.
Odd that back the it was difficult to get any info while today info spreads if we want it to or not and people get so mad about spoilers.
I remember reading in Wizard magazine that director Brian Singer banned any of his cast and crew from reading the comics at all. He didn't want them to be influenced by the source material so they could only create what he wanted. Jackman still went around him to learn about Wolverine and it shows in his dedication to the character.
@@xzonia1
Me too.
Case in point, wolverines are not even in the same classification or family as wolves.
They are actually members of the Mustelidae family. Weasels and martens are also members of that family.
thanks, nerd.
@chuckleezodiac24 side effects of being on the spectrum.
I’m with you, man. Hearing her compare Wolverine and wolves just made me not want to watch this video.
Like how dumb are these reactors? And the way they react to Magneto’s holocaust? “How terrible” “is that not a heart wrenching scene?”
36:08 Rob & Amber's reaction when Toad hocked a loogie on Jean's face was the BEST moment of this video!! 🤣🤣🤣
Some helpful tips from a guy whose been reading comics (especially X-Men) since the 80's:
- Sabertooth is very similar to Wolverine. He has a fast healing power, incredibly strong, animalistic senses (smell, hearing, etc) and those fingernail claws are strong and sharp enough to cut through some metals. But he's psychotic. The actor that played him in this movie is actually a professional wrestler named Tyler Mane
- Wolverine in the comics is actually very short. About 5ft. Hugh Jackman is about 6ft. But he did great with the part so comic fans have given him a pass. He loves his cigars.
- Magneto and Xavier are Omega level mutants. Which means that they are among the most powerful mutants. Magneto can tap into the Earth's magnetic field and wreck destruction around the world if he really tries.
- Jean Grey (Marvel Girl) has both the powers of Telekenisis (moving things with her mind) and telepathy (reading peoples minds and controlling them). Whereas Xavier just has telepathy. Jean is an Omega level mutant as well as you'll find out.
Great reaction!
Wolverine is not like a wolf...he's like a wolverine, which is smaller and more similar to a badger than a wolf, but one of the most fearsome creatures in nature, with long claws. They mainly exist now in Alaska and Canada.
A bit of interesting trivia for you: Here are some of the iconic roles which were first offered to Sean Connery, but he turned them down:
1) Magneto in these movies
2) Gandolf in Lord of the Rings
3) Morpheus in the Matrix
4) Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter
5) John Hammond in Jurassic Park
6) The male lead in Alfred Hitchcocks The Birds
7) He was considered for the role of Deckard in Blade Runner, but Harrison Ford got the part
8) Simon Gruber, the bad guy from Die Hard
9) Frank Horrigan from In the Line of Fire, the role played by Clint Eastwood
10) The lead role in Instinct, that was played by Anthony Hopkins
11) The terrorist in The Jackal, that was played by Bruce Willis
12) Ed Lewis from Pretty Woman, that was played by Richard Gere
13) King Richard in drag, from Robinhood: Men in Tights
14) The lead role in the classic movie Shogun
15) He was considered for the role of Captain Von Trapp in The Sound of Music
16) Live and Let Die, a James Bond movie he turned down
17) On Her Majesty's Secret Service, another James Bond movie
Oh Mercy! I'm glad he either turned down or was passed over for most of those roles on that list. The Sound of Music? REALLY??? Someone else would have to do his singing.
Deckard in Blade Runner??? NOOO!!!
Gandalf? NOOOO!
@@NavvyMom Christopher Plummer got the role in "The Sound of Music." And someone else did do the singing. I believe that he and the Mother Superior were the only characters in that film whose singing voices were dubbed by others.
@@bobbuethe1477 Okay, thanks for the info on Plummer. I always wondered but wasn't sure. Just looked it up. He sang on camera but Bill Lee was dubbed over. Awesome job by Lee to sync audio to Plummer's mouth movements. But getting back to Connery, I don't like his speaking voice. He always sounds like he has marbles in his mouth.
@@NavvyMom I only knew it because a couple of hours ago, my wife and I watched a "Sound of Music" reaction video, and she looked up whether Plummer did his own singing. 🙂
@@NavvyMom Sean Connery was actually a pretty good singer. Here's a link to a youtube video where he sings in the movie Darby O'Gill and the Little People:
th-cam.com/video/eTwmjOySDjA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PqCITgCLg7wXEBW2
And he was an incredibly talented actor that I think could have made any of those roles I mentioned his own.
For your daughter, rogue only needs to touch someone to absorb their power. The ultimate x man
Jack Kirby's & Stan Lee's original Prof.X looked like actor Yul Brynner and Magneto looked like a younger Kirk Douglas.
41:27
"How Is Sabretooth Not Dead Yet?"
He's got the same rapid healing abilities that Wolverine has
The movie does a bad job explaining his abilities
@@mattx449I don’t think they ever did actually
Hhhmmmm I wonder why they have the same abilities.
I wouldn't say they have the same healing abilities. Sabretooth does have some healing abilities, but they're *NOTHING* compared to the healing abilities of Wolverine
@@micheletrainor1601Because they're mortal enemies 😉
SIR IAN McKELLEN AND SIR PATRICK STEWART HAVE PLAYED ALL KINDS OF CHARACTERS!!❤❤
Yes! You two have literally been my favorite reaction channel for like 2+ years and to see that you're getting into the marvel/mcu is amazing! ❤️❤️
Im so jazzed for you two to engage in this franchise!
I'm glad you recognized Sir Ian, but sad you didn't recognize Sir Patrick.
20:40 Far right with glasses is The 1st of many Stan Lee cameos in Marvel movies. He along with Kirby/Ditko are the creators of many of the characters these films are based off. Look out for him 😊
Stan Lee does a cameo in all marvel movies until he can't. Such a cool dude and such an impact on so many kids.
Ian McKellan steals the damn show. Every one of his lines lives rent free in my head.
"You homo sapiens and yer *guns!* "
*Dart to Neck* "...Young people."
Charles: Humanity has evolved since then.
Eric: Yes. Into us.
for me its the line... "They no longer matter!"
WHY NOT COME OUT WHERE I CAN SEE YOU, CHAHLES!
That 'young people' is my favourite. For just a moment, this badass supervillain becomes just a crotchety old man who's one step away from telling Wolverine to get a haircut lol.
@@zufgh
Fun fact? My first usage of the phrase:
"Look at those damn kids..."
Came at age 10.
(I was talking about high schoolers. My dad did a double take.)
Are you a God-fearing man senator? Don't fear God and especially don't fear me, not anymore
What we all love about the X-Men is all the relationships we see grow and evolve
Jean and Scott, Jean and Wolverine, Charles Xavier and Magneto etc.
I enjoy Xavier and Magneto's the most because we all see how enemies can still be good friends at the same time
Ideologies mix but the people who mix them up still have huge respect for each other
The comics and cartoon from the 90s show this to great effect
You should rewatch it again Jay
Toad in theory has some pretty cool powers, stick to walls, prehensile tongue, super jumping, projectile mucus spit.
It’s like he was bitten by a radioactive toad.
Storm is one of the most powerful mutants in the Marvel universe! It's not just about striking people with lighting, she has precise control over every aspect of the weather, across tiny spaces or vast distances. The other movies show more of what she's capable of, as does the new cartoon (X-Men 97).
If you haven’t already realised, this movie was directed by Bryan Singer, one of his first successful superhero movies … he’s also the director for “The Usual Suspects”.
And accused of... being improper with underage boys, as his friend Brian Peck 20:40 a convicted child abuser.
I haven't seen any comments about the actor playing sabertooth. It is Tyler Mane, he played Micheal Myers in Rob Zombies Halloween and Halloween 2. Started as a wrestler and transitioned to acting
He's not like a Wolf. He's like a Wolverine, which is like a super ferocious groundhog
X Men and x2 are really good comic book movies. They develop character and come across smarter than most.
Ian Mckellan has always been an awesome actor.
Wolverine's adamantium claws can cut through anything on earth
Man, if someone said your kid looked like storm you got one good looking kid! She is literally a goddess
Xmen are marvel movies License to Fox, Spider-man is licensed to Sony. And take place in different universes. Marvel studios have their own movies and these are known as the MCU. You should look up the order to watch them in as these movies are all connected. For the MCU start with iron man
Yes, somebody should do a in-depth explanation to Jay and Amber regarding the Marvel movies.
According to Rebecca Romijn: It was a nine-hour makeup process for Mystique. We did, over the course of three movies, manage to get it down to seven hours, but that was still ... It was a big deal.
9 hrs in the make-up chair ??? So she problably had to come to set in the wee hrs of the morning.When I was in the army stationed in Korea had to be at work at 3:30 am and work non-stop till after the lunch rush ( then had a 30 minute break )then work non-stop till 8: 00 pm.Kept this schedule because we didn't have enough personnel to run 2 shifts like back in the states.Being so busy made the time go by so-FAST-tho.
@@user-be7tc2bd6e First off thank you for your service. Truly appreciated.
By the time Jennifer Lawrence took on the role of Mystique she had to wait for a whole eight hours while blue paint was applied to every single part of her body. Not only that, but it took six make-up artists to apply it.
And calling it a makeup chair is putting it nicely, as a period of the application required Lawrence to sit on a bicycle so the makeup artists could get to the harder parts of her body.
@@Markyajv Thank you for recognizing my service,it's appreciated.Telling me all this behind the scenes stuff of what Lawrence had to go through ( That part about 6 make-up artists to apply make-up truly awesome ) I tip my hat to her and the make-up artists,they have my-MAJOR-respect.8 hrs to apply and cover Lawrence's entire body is insane tho. LOL. I mean this in a good way tho.Thanks for the behind the scenes info,didn't know any of this.
How exciting!!! Love it!!! 🤣. Amber & Jay. 🤣. That man brought a gun to a knife fight. And still lost! Best comment ever!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Toad, possesses a number of amphibian-like mutant abilities. His most well-known power is his superhuman leaping ability, allowing him to jump vast distances and heights. Additionally, his legs are incredibly strong, enabling him to propel himself with great force.
Over time, Toad's mutation has evolved, granting him new abilities. These include a long, prehensile tongue that he can use for grappling and attacks, as well as the ability to secrete a sticky mucus that can adhere to surfaces and even trap opponents
Love the X-Men movies also Batman, Batman Returns and Batman Forever are other Superhero movies that are a must watch.
After you finish with the X-Men, we ALL would love to see your reactions from the 2000s Spider-Man movies!
The 2000s Marvel movie era was such good entertainment!
Rebecca Romijn, who played Mystique, said that it actually wasn't that much fun playing Mystique in this movie, because many of the cool things Mystique did were actually done by the actors playing the characters she was impersonating, not by her. Because of this, the director gave her one cool scene in the second movie that she could do on her own.
Toad’s power isn’t weak, it’s not one of the strongest but definitely not a weak power. He’s always been one of my favourite xmen characters.
Paul McCartney loved these comics. He even recorded the song, "Magneto and Titanium Man".
The guy playing Toad is the same guy who played Darth Maul in Star Wars, Ray Park.
Blade being Marvel’s first successful film makes it the first one you should watch.
Professor X and Magneto were once close friends. Magneto knew how to sabotage Cerebro, the machine Xavier uses to amplify his powers because he helped build it. I’d be thrilled to have several of the mutants’ powers: Magneto, Storm, Mystique, Wolverine, Jean Gray (she didn’t show off much in this movie), even the girl who ran thru the door.
I watched most of the X-Men movies with my 13-year-old niece this weekend. She is HOOKED. It was so great to open up TH-cam this morning and see that you two had uploaded an X-Men reaction just a couple days ago! Really enjoyed this one. :) I saw these as they were released. They were such a huge deal, and it's nice to see the next generations enjoying them too. Looking forward to seeing more from you two!
13:35 Kano (from Mortal Kombat lol) walks in: "... Could be shit, could be frisbee-hat..." 🥏👒😂
Toad is played by ray parks who played Darth maul in star wars the phantom menace
In this movie I do love the explanation of Magneto and his motivations. They pretty well nailed it.
"Frog." I love it! 😂😎
How was this movie released 24 years ago? DANG I AM OLD 😵 Anyway, this introduced Hugh Jackman to the world and stepped up the superhero movie as a genre. When X2 came out a few years later I officially became obsessed (because of Nightcrawler). Can't wait for you to see that one!
I can recall going to watch this with all my buddies back then.....
@@mhill781 we can't be having nostalgic feelings already!
I just did a double take because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. This is going to be an amazing watch! These films are some of my favorites.
Storm can actually create a storm anywhere, she doesn't have to be outside and She has many powers.
@18:20 .... I dont wanna Pew Pew! out of my eyes..... Funniest comment ever!!!!! And you didn't even see what Cyclops could do yet, lol. It is always so fun hanging out with you two, watching movies ives seen a million times but enjoying watching your first time reactions. We are huge fans of Rob Squad, and we look forward to seeing more.
I'll be Wolverine. He can heal real quick. Love the Claws. GET READY FOR X2: X-Men UNITED!!
As far as I know, Wolverine originally had bone claws and healing, then got the Adamantium.
That is correct
That's pretty dang far because you are correct
When this was happening and they said this 6'3" Aussie was being Wolverine, I was like, first off Wolverine is my fave X-men character and he's like 5'8". This dude had better be good and had better not screw this up. Hugh Jackman is BEYOND. This was an EXCELLENT start. Some lines were gold. Storm's line to Toad was...WTF but, you will LOVE this series. I will say this, rewatch the last part, as the ray was scattering pay attention to Jean Grey and you'll see a hint about where the next movies are headed. There are so many BTS factoids about thus movie, like Hugh Jackman getting his "junk" twisted in the stunt ropes. 😂😂
8:42, fun fact about Wolverine. He initially comes off grumpy and mean but to the his friends he can be a teddy bear.
In the comics he would often be paired up with younger mutants (usually female) in a big brother mentor role.
Rogue, Kitty Pryde( the young girl who walks through walls) and Jubilee (a young Asian girl who shoots fireworks) have all been his protege/sidekick
There's another movie from 2000 you still need to watch, Gladiator!
Maximus,Maximus,..
OMG Yes!!! Will not disappoint, you might be intrigued by the characters: Wolverine, Professor X, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Mystique, Rogue, Magneto, Storm, Sabretooth, Beast, Nightcrawler, Jubilee, etc!!
Man you all. I saw these X1 and X2 20 years ago, pretty awesome films that i still appreciate.
Fun fact about Storm: not only is she one of the most powerful mutants in the world, even being worshipped as a goddess...she's also descended from a long line of sorceresses/priestesses in Africa, and has the potential to become a powerful sorceress in her own right.
She's also an expert thief and pickpocket, due to her childhood on the streets in Cairo after she was orphaned.
A likely unintentional added reason why this is such a great franchise to begin now is that its Pride Month. And to many people, the struggle for mutant rights in the comics and the movie are like an allegory of the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights. While Stan Lee never intended for mutants to be an allegory for LGBTQ+ people, I can certainly see why people believe that they were intended to be. Both groups are born that way, typically to a pair of "normal" people as parents. Both groups appear totally "normal" at birth, then manifest during puberty. Both groups are persecuted as being "dangerous" to "normal" children.
X-Men 2 leans a little more heavily into these parallels, giving Bobby a "coming out" scene with his family, and his mother asking him "Have you ever tried not being a mutant?" In any case, this is a great series of movies for you guys to start reacting to and i can't wait to see you guys watch the next one.
I definitely see the parallels.
Several members of the cast and crew are gay or bisexual as well.
The director Bryan Singer
Magneto actor Ian McKellan
Rogue actress Anna Pacquin

"No amount of words -- of derision, distrust, or disinformation can change the truth that each one of us: man, woman, Black, Hispanic, Jew, Asian, Native American, homosexual, mutant, everyone underneath all the words . . . We are all family."

You are in for a treat. My only advice to you is watch the Marvel movies in order. You’ll understand why as you delve deeper into the MCU. Enjoy the journey. It’s well worth it 🇨🇦
Really love your videos guys, always such a warm wholesome vibe from your videos 😊
Just to give context to Wolverines healing ability, in the comic books he once regenerate from a single drop of blood. Y'all also need to start on the MCU (Starting with Iron Man and watch them in release order)
21:34
Amber:"What Was That Shapeshifter's Name Again?"
Jay:"I Don't Remember "
Her name is Mystique
Raven Darkholm is her "slave name"
If you like Storm’s hair in this first movie, you’ll love it in the later movies.
Her shorter hairs works so much better for her; not just more flattering, but makes so much more sense. Can you imagine having a power that's constantly whipping up the air around you into a frenzy, and having LONG hair? What a nightmare.
Storm is one of the most powerful mutants. In the top of 'List of Most Known Characters' you'll find Phoenix (Jean Grey), Scarlett Witch (Wanda Maximoff) and Magneto among that "elite".
Storm and Tchala got married in the comics, so Storm becomes Queen of Wakanda.
This casting was perfect. Especially Xavier and Magneto. In the comics, Charles and Eric are great friends, who want the same thing "Mutant Freedom". They just have different ways of getting there. Magneto could care less if regular humans are here. And Charles wants there to be coexistence. That's why they were playing chess together. There is and will always be love between the two.
In real life Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen (they are both Knighted!) are also really good friends. So, the chemistry is super natural.
