Fun fact: the actor at 06:24 is the seminal _X-Men_ comic book writer *Chris Claremont* - the guy who wrote the original _Days of Future Past_ & made the X-Men a quintessential comic.
Fun fact, in the books a limited event called the age of apocalypse discovered if iceman trained harder, that if he was shattered in iceform, that he could actually reassemble himself.
For some reason when you said Iceman I thought of the real world ‘Ozzy the Iceman’ the frozen caveman they found preserved in a block of ice. I thought you were trying to say if the caveman had trained harder 😅😂🤦🏻♂️
Probably not worth you guys reacting to the "Rogue Cut" but I would HIGHLY suggest you guys watch that at some point on your own time. While this version is good to get a baseline, Rogue Cut is mostly the same with added scenes that better explain things without fluff.
The Rogue Cut is THE EDIT you should see this film with. It expands future Magneto more with a good balance of him and Past Magneto reclaiming his helmet. It fleshes out the story a bit better than the theatrical cut. Plus the ending makes more sense how the Future Mutants are found in China, the Theatrical cut is random about this.
It explains how the sentinels are able to take the mutants powers. Cause mystique can only copy the look, so that didn’t make any sense. Also explains how the sentinels find them at the end
Being that it takes place later I think it would be worth a video by including a comment that they already reviewed the theatrical release so the next one is starting from where it deviates.
people complain about these movies sidelining various characters (especially scott), and they're not wrong to do so, but to me the biggest deviation was always making professor x the kindly moral center.
I hope the MCU eventually does the Onslaught saga now that they have the former Fox properties under their umbrella. Set Onslaught up to be the big bad for the entire MCU ala Thanos.
@@jessharvell1022that's no deviation, Charles always was the kindly moral center, until the last 10-15 years, when he started undergoing the same deconstruction and character assassination as every other old male hero has been forced to undergo, like Indiana Jones, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, etc.
I like how Aaron Taylor Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen the year before Age Of Ultron where they were twin siblings, starred in Godzilla, but played husband and wife.
Why would they do this? Oh hey, you can watch the movie on a service you probably already have, almost a month before you can buy it. You know, so you can save some money.
@@Danceofmasks - You can still buy it, but digitally, since most physical home media sales have been steadily declining anyway. Most buy digital. And since this is still in the otherwise theatrical window, it allows people to rent it to and watch at home, as most prefer now anyway. The studio has deals in place with these streamng platforms that work on a subscription basis, say they make money regardless of if someone has the service already.
The baseball stadium moved near the end of the movie was the Montreal Olympic Stadium. We were without our stadium in Montreal for over a month, but the production company had Magneto put it back brick for brick. As good as new.
I heard something like... The part that Peter Dinklage is playing was not specifically written for a little person... Which, in Hollywood, is almost unheard of. Dude broke down barriers.
@@insiddiousIt's one movie. It's not the only movie that'll be made. People like you are overdramatic. And I'll add it's a movie you never would even see if real little people were actually cast.
they change the past so they will change wolverine traumatic past. the striker scene is like a twist ending you think you know what is gonna happened right ? hell yes... but you don't 😱
I read an article years ago where a producer said Kinberg was forced to create a "twist" by the executive producers. Apparently they were obsessed with needing one. I've always wondered if he made it that terrible, and have it make no sense out of spite.
Someone may have slready answered this, but in the comic book Days of Future Past, Mystique's target was Senator Kelly from the first film and not Bolivar Trask (who by that time had been long dead and his Sentinels in the hands of the government). Kelly was running for presidency, and when the X Men saved him, he began to rethink his posistion on mutants much like the 1st movie.
In the comics there was a really powerful superhero named Blue Marvel who was basically Superman. One day during a fight, Blue Marvel's mask was damaged revealing that he was black. Because this was the 60s the US Government was concerned by the possibility of a race war involving super powered black people. This was around the time mutants became public knowledge, Trask who was a aware of how humans will treat them feared the same outcome. So he started Project Wide awake to make the original Sentinels and another type known as the Wild Sentinels. When he activated them they went nuts and wanted to kill humanity, Trask realised how inhumane the Sentinels were and wanted to destroy his creations but the US government owned the plans Since then Trask has had no connection with the Sentinels except for the 2000s when his Nephew activated the Wild Sentinels. I left out some details, because Marvel uses a floating timeline and some of these stories were written before some of these characters could be alive. Like the original Sentinels were beaten by Cyclops tricking them to fly into Sun, now that happened a decades before he was born
7:24 Actually Wolverine is weaker with the adamantium bones, as it slows his healing factor way down from always needing to fight the metal poison it's causing. I think it's the only reason he's even aging really in some comics.
His flesh is weaker, but overall, he's much stronger due to not needing to heal bones. And adamantium is dense, so he's harder to knock about, he packs a lot more punch, and builds more muscle just casually. Although there is a definite P.S. depends on the comic and the writer.
In the comics, it is confirmed that the adamantium is a constant poison that his healing factor has to fight constantly every day. When it was first grafted onto his bones, it wasn't really that big a difference in power, but over time, his healing factor has just been worn out by the constant regeneration which makes him susceptible to injury as he ages (and is actually aging faster now due to this as well).
Never liked that fact, cause IRL the metal on his bones, would take millions of years to degrade to the point of being harmful. Stainless metal takes a VERY long time to degrade
@@LezArtist5iG It has nothing to do with the adamantium "degrading". Adamantium is poisonous to have in the body - only Logan's healing factor allows him to survive having it inside him (and bonded to his bones).
This movie is like a combination of a sequel, a prequel and a reboot. I personally call it a seprequelboot. And for what it is, it’s really great. Even my favorite part of this movie was Quicksilver, and his Time in a Bottle scene which was really fun.
19:33 when Kity is injured...in rogue cut ....iceman goes and brings rogue to take kity's power to calm Wolverine and Logan also senses that it's rogue..🎉
Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen were performing in a touring production of "Waiting for Godot" when Bryan Singer approached the actors about reprising their respective roles as Professor X and Magneto. According to McKellen, both men were utterly shocked, as they thought they had passed their roles on to James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, and would never play the characters again. Stewart and McKellen were delighted to return to two of their most popular roles, and to work with the younger actors playing the same characters as well.
I was a 13 years old when the first X-Men films came out. Coming back to see this film in theaters as a 27 year old adult was such a nostalgia trip to see the original cast again and a perfect way to pass the torch between "generations" of casts/stories.
Both quicksilver are in kickass, he plays the best friend of kickass, there were a lot of jokes going around when it was announced who both quicksilvers were.
BTW it makes tons of sense that the music would be at his speed and that his arcade machine would be faster. He did that himself in order to be able to actually enjoy music and games. It's not like that's the official version of the song, he sped it up ridiculous amounts in order to hear it as it was intended. Simple stuff.
I know it doesn't make sense either, but Quicksilver could put his tape to play "as fast" as he moves so when going fast he hears the music as a normal piece, but since he's so insanely fast it doesn't really make sense for a musicassette, but oh well
This right here. On these old tape players with mechanical buttons, you could usually finagle it so both the Play and Fast-Forward buttons were pressed at the same time, which would make the music play super-fast. Just not as fast as implied by that scene. (Suspension of disbelief, etc.)
In the same way he rigged the Pong machine to run really fast, he probably rigged the tape player as well. Why does it not get destroyed by centrifugal forces while playing? Same reason his closes aren't torn off by air resistance, or people's heads aren't immediately caved in when he touches them. At least DC explains super-speed by having Flash tap into "Speed-Force", and it affecting stuff around him as well. I don't think it's ever explained how stuff around Quicksilver isn't affected.
Well, I don't believe it is a real walkman. It's ear protection disguised as a walkman, so that the air doesn't blow out his eardrums when he moves quick. It's a good fashion choice for safety gear.
The only stupid thing in the entire movie that I wish was deleted in a fire for being so stupidly dumb-stupid: Stryker's eye-flash revealing he is Mystique. Makes zero sense. It made perfect sense that Stryker would come into posession of Logan, and I was fine with that being the moment. Why would Mystique be involved? So dumb. Otherwise, I love this movie. Edit: Haven't seen any other cuts of this movie, so I don't know if they tried to backpedal-retcon that scene.
What even dumber is why Mystique's blood be what is used to create the Sentinels, her powers are shape-shifting. Wouldn't Rogue's blood be what you want as her powers actually allow you to absorb and use other mutant powers like what the Sentinels in this movie do.
I assume Mystique was just posing as Stryker to more easily get the resources to rescue Logan, otherwise he might be trapped down there indefinitely. Inadvertently she delivers him to Stryker. It's definitely sloppy though.
There is actually an extended version of this movie that fills a little bit of extra stuff in, the main point being Kitty's injury during the movie. In the extended cut, they go and find Rogue, and she transfers the time-push powers to herself with Ice-man healing Kitty.
It's a little frustrating because this was basically the only scenario where Wolverine can actually try to fight Magneto, and they never really cashed in on that opportunity.
I mean they did. That's how quickly it ended. Magneto chucking Wolverine into a lake where he perpetually dies and regenerates like a Greek curse is diabolical
@@macgarnicle does it have to be? Wolverine is a very popular character but in a fight against Magneto it wouldn't take very long to be overpowered. Any scenario where Wolverine stands a snowballs chance in hell against a mutant like him is just drab nonsensical fan service and shouldn't make it into film
@@macgarnicle basically magneto can either slice and dice with sheets of metal, make wolverine fly away, or trap him. Wolverine can't do much against Magneto since he's a brawler
Mystique's reaction to seeing Azazel's autopsy photos hits a little harder when you know that at some point between First Class and this film they must have conceived a child together (that Mystique probably abandoned at a church in Germany because of her jet-setting terrorist lifestyle) (and don't say that Azazel isn't Nightcrawler's father... that retcon came in the comics *after* this movie was made, so, he definitely was).
It would hurt like hell but also the possibility of flying over and crashing into water. George thinks he'll perpetually drown as if he had some form of immorality but he can easily drown. It would actually be easier for him to drown because his skeleton is so heavy.
I'm not sure if someone else has mentioned this, but this Quicksilver has additional abilities, his ability to play pong fast and listen to music at regular speed is one of them.
Fun trivia: McCovoy was so hyped for his role as Xavier, he shaved his head… finding out later that he was going to have hair for the movie… bring in the wigs!
Because the music is travelling with him inside his ear drums via the headphones therefore he would hear it. If it was playing outside of his motion he would move from the sound. If he travelled at twice the speed of sound he would hear the song played outside of him playing backwards and once he stopped he would hear it again foreword as the sound caught up to him. A little more complex but I'm sure you get the idea. The sound is contained with his ears thus moving at the same speed as him therefore playing at a normal speed from his perspective. "I think he's a better Quicksilver than the one from Kick-Ass." Both actors star in Kick-Ass. Evan plays Dave's friend Todd in the first film.
He was talking about George mentioning the headless clone of Spiro Agnew not Nixon’s ‘my fellow Americans’ line, which is actually a line all presidents have used Nixon simply happened to be the most quoted
Talking about teachers - Hugh Jackman was literally a teacher and there's a great little moment where a guy he taught in highschool is interviewing him and Hugh Jackman calls him out. He was a PE teacher.
I don't know if you guys would be interested, but I think she would really love reacting to X-Men 97 after you watch the movies. Even though X-Men 97 is a continuation of X-Men The Animated Series, it's still accessible for new viewers.
The movie adaption is great, but does raise some questions. One oddity is the Sentinels' ability to mimic mutant powers is not a Mystique power. It's a Rogue power. Speaking of Rogue - the movie has a Rogue Cut Edition which adds extra scenes to the theatric version. Like many Director's Cuts do, the Rogue Cut introduces some movie pacing issues along with the additional content (most often considered worth it). In the comics, the Sentinels were formidable machines but they had no mutant based power mimicry. Dr. Trask was not a dwarf in the comics. He created the Sentinel prototype called Master Mold. Master Mold's function included building a Sentinel army (as well as maintaining self maintenance and repair when needed).
You guys should rewatch this but the Rogue Cut version, it's got at least an extra 20 minutes and adds some detail and an entire extra storyline that changes quite a bit.
Man I remember seeing this movie in theaters so much intensity, and also seeing my favorite x men Colossus dying like that in the final battle with the sentinels traumatized me. AMAZING REACTION LOVED IT
Don't remind me of that it was insulting that they used him just for a boner joke. That should have told me that Phase 4 of the MCU was going to suck and that they were still taking their victory laps after Infinity War and Endgame and not looking to the future.
I may have mentioned this before but... EEEEEE Simone has a longhair tuxie! I used to have one, and I miss him so much ;.; At the start, the guy with the biohazard tattoo on his hand is Ink. His mutant ability is that he can use his tattoos to affect those around him. The guy could be insanely powerful with the right tats. The guy with the spikes and the black eyes has the ability to disrupt the inner ear of his targets, that's why the 2 soldiers started stumbling and fell over. Those two by themselves have some AMAZING crowd control, while Havok has learned to properly control his kinetic blasts without the focusing vest Beast made for him. And Toad.... is still Toad. Can't bring any metal into Magneto's prison. They'd 100% have metal detectors just to make sure nobody forgot a key or a coin in their pocket. If you recall, they did that in the original trilogy as well. They got past it there by putting the metal inside the guard as a liquid. If they pulled Logan back at any point, they'd shift onto a new timeline. So we can't pull him out and try again. We don't know what the result would be. And as Xavier said later "If we bring him back now, it could set us on an even darker path." But nobody is getting new memories, no. "Who is that?" That... is a very, VERY powerful mutant. Comic and animated show fans knew by the end of the Stinger.
Okay, here's my question: Did Logan just kill an alternate version of himself? Like, after Kitty stops sending Future Logan back into 1973 Logan's body, presumably 1973 Logan went on to lead a normal life, properly meeting Charles, becoming an X-Man, falling in love with Jean all over again, etc. But then one day, BOOM, Future Logan gets shoved back into his brain, and 1973 Logan is just gone. Like permanently gone. He might as well be dead. I guess maybe Charles can do some telepathy stuff to blend the two sets of memories together, but it's still a pretty messed up way to end a movie.
Im honestly surprised that a lot of people consider this one to be one of the good ones. When I saw the trailer for this i was extremely excited for this movie but when i watched it i thought it was a train wreck.
The greatest X-Men movie ever! Period. It revived the franchise better than First Class did. This for me is James McAvoy’s best performance. He brings the heart as Professor X. It shows you how much talent he has to be that character and on the level of Patrick Stewart .
I read that that last twist that shows Mystique disguised as Stryker can be "disregarded" because apparently it was a last minute add-in that wasnt originally in the script. (creates a plothole for the next movie, saying any more would be kind of a spoiler...)
Days of Future Past came out in 2014. Infinity War came out in 2018. As George said, this was the first thing he saw Dinklage in after seeing him in Game of Thrones.
Why do reactors never watch the Rogue cut? It's so much more involved (and better imho). After Kitty gets injured, Bobby says it's not just Mystique's powers that make the sentinels, but a combination between that and Rogue, and he knows where they're holding her. So they have to go and break her out so she can absorb Kitty's powers and continue the "time-meld" while Kitty gets medical attention. It adds more context and like 20 more minutes to the movie. And Bolivar Trask is an anthropologist in the comics, and just sees the rise of mutants as a threat. Amusingly though, he has a tendency to sire mutant children.
I just realized something, if there's a newspaper showing everything that happened in DC with Mystique and Magneto, that would've had to have been the next day. Logan was underwater all that time.
12:49 correct George, Wanda (Scarlet Witch), Pietro (Quicksilver) and Lorna (Polaris) (if she's ever brought to film) are all children of Magneto. The only reason that connection was not explicitly made in the MCU was that mutants and their film rights were still with Fox at the time Wanda and Pietro were introduced in Avengers 2.
Wolverine in his future suit with the touches of yellow, and with the streaks of grey in his hair and his metal claws back, is the best he's looked yet, but we didn't get to see him fight any sentinels...
JFK wasn't a mutant in comics, but was actually a real-life mutant, though his "mutation" was in the form of a serious endocrine disorder which requires lifelong medication
in the comics, Kitty Pryde was sent to the past to warn the X-Men about the Sentinels wiping out or capturing all of the Mutants & Humans in the world, therefore starting the apocalypse in the future. not Wolverine
The idea that Quicksilver needs protective gear to use his power is stupid with a capital R. It's like having super-strong muscles and normal bones or being able to make fire but not having skin that's resistant to high temperatures. Also, they aren't getting new memories popping into their heads. While the link to the past is open, both times exist separately. Thats why they can't "bring Logan back and reset" when Kitty is wounded. It would instantly change the timeline and they would no longer be there.
No one ever notices the original 1970 Wolverine who lived up until to future, who lived a whole life, formed different relationships with everyone... he is just erased out if existence by the alternate timeline Wolverine.
i cant tell you if JFK actually had any powers in the comics, but i can tell you the strongest, absolutely most powerful mutant in the comics is santa claus

And John Bryne's pencils with Terry Austin's inks. Jesus, what a trio.
I always assumed Quicksilver figured out how to overclock both the video game and the music player so he could properly enjoy them.
Overclock a walkman.
Yeah, I too presumed he rigged his walkman to play _Time in a Bottle_ at 150x so he could listen while in speedster mode.
Or maybe it's just a movie and it's a consistency problem
He's a mutant, so I'd assume he wouldn't have to go by "human" rules because of superpowers.
The sad part is that if the cassette tape was spinning that fast the walkman would explode.
Fun fact, in the books a limited event called the age of apocalypse discovered if iceman trained harder, that if he was shattered in iceform, that he could actually reassemble himself.
Iceman is disgustingly powerful, he can survive as a single water molecule and has the potential to be one of the strongest mutants ever.
For some reason when you said Iceman I thought of the real world ‘Ozzy the Iceman’ the frozen caveman they found preserved in a block of ice. I thought you were trying to say if the caveman had trained harder 😅😂🤦🏻♂️
The movies absolutely nerfed Iceman (and damn near every other character).
@@retropyro Iceman nerfs Iceman in the comics.
But he wasn't able to go back to human form in AoA. He was stuck in ice form.

I like how Aaron Taylor Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen the year before Age Of Ultron where they were twin siblings, starred in Godzilla, but played husband and wife.
It's also funny that in later _Kick-Ass_ comics the character he plays adopts a superhero persona that is just a blatant copy of Dave's.

Peter Dinklage is also in ELF with Will Farrell, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Hunger Games, Avengers Infinity war, and many other films.
I love Trask talking about how mutants need to be violently suppressed while standing right in front of Liberty Leading the People.
9:47 Long before this Dinklage was in a great little drama called The Station Agent.
The character Blink was in the X-Men show show The Gifted with her portals which is on Disney Plus.
5:58 Wolverine missed a HUGE clue about his past. She called him Jimmy.
He seemed to remember who the girl in the bed was, so I think he has recovered enough memories in the future to already know what his birthname is.
Remember, future Logan knew his past…to him it might be strange but not crazy to hear his old name…
@@CarrotspyAnd he remembered fighting in the wars. He was in the US civil war, WW1, and WW2. He definitely has his memories
The only stupid thing in the entire movie that I wish was deleted in a fire for being so stupidly dumb-stupid: Stryker's eye-flash revealing he is Mystique. Makes zero sense. It made perfect sense that Stryker would come into posession of Logan, and I was fine with that being the moment. Why would Mystique be involved? So dumb.
Otherwise, I love this movie.
Edit: Haven't seen any other cuts of this movie, so I don't know if they tried to backpedal-retcon that scene.
What even dumber is why Mystique's blood be what is used to create the Sentinels, her powers are shape-shifting. Wouldn't Rogue's blood be what you want as her powers actually allow you to absorb and use other mutant powers like what the Sentinels in this movie do.
I'm right with you on that, if it wasn't for that it'd be perfect
well at least you did not dramatically over reacted... oh wait
@@koulor8112that’s what’s implied in the rogue cut. Cause they r experimenting on her too.
I assume Mystique was just posing as Stryker to more easily get the resources to rescue Logan, otherwise he might be trapped down there indefinitely. Inadvertently she delivers him to Stryker.
It's definitely sloppy though.
There is actually an extended version of this movie that fills a little bit of extra stuff in, the main point being Kitty's injury during the movie.
In the extended cut, they go and find Rogue, and she transfers the time-push powers to herself with Ice-man healing Kitty.
It's a little frustrating because this was basically the only scenario where Wolverine can actually try to fight Magneto, and they never really cashed in on that opportunity.
I mean they did. That's how quickly it ended. Magneto chucking Wolverine into a lake where he perpetually dies and regenerates like a Greek curse is diabolical
@@brooklynnewyork23 I guess. It wasn't really all that different from him tossing Wolverine by the adamantium, but okay.
@@macgarnicle does it have to be? Wolverine is a very popular character but in a fight against Magneto it wouldn't take very long to be overpowered. Any scenario where Wolverine stands a snowballs chance in hell against a mutant like him is just drab nonsensical fan service and shouldn't make it into film
@@macgarnicle basically magneto can either slice and dice with sheets of metal, make wolverine fly away, or trap him. Wolverine can't do much against Magneto since he's a brawler
Mystique's reaction to seeing Azazel's autopsy photos hits a little harder when you know that at some point between First Class and this film they must have conceived a child together (that Mystique probably abandoned at a church in Germany because of her jet-setting terrorist lifestyle) (and don't say that Azazel isn't Nightcrawler's father... that retcon came in the comics *after* this movie was made, so, he definitely was).
If Wolverine hates flying, I think the implication would be that he's been in a plane crash, or several. And it probably hurt like hell.
😃 x-men origins wolverine uncaged IYKYK
It would hurt like hell but also the possibility of flying over and crashing into water. George thinks he'll perpetually drown as if he had some form of immorality but he can easily drown. It would actually be easier for him to drown because his skeleton is so heavy.
I'm not sure if someone else has mentioned this, but this Quicksilver has additional abilities, his ability to play pong fast and listen to music at regular speed is one of them.
Fun trivia: McCovoy was so hyped for his role as Xavier, he shaved his head… finding out later that he was going to have hair for the movie… bring in the wigs!
If you want more Dinklage, may I recommend The Station Agent? Quirky but charming flick about solitude.
Because the music is travelling with him inside his ear drums via the headphones therefore he would hear it. If it was playing outside of his motion he would move from the sound. If he travelled at twice the speed of sound he would hear the song played outside of him playing backwards and once he stopped he would hear it again foreword as the sound caught up to him. A little more complex but I'm sure you get the idea. The sound is contained with his ears thus moving at the same speed as him therefore playing at a normal speed from his perspective.
"I think he's a better Quicksilver than the one from Kick-Ass." Both actors star in Kick-Ass. Evan plays Dave's friend Todd in the first film.
The best X-Men movie of all time. The Rogue Cut makes this movie even more epic
This is one of the best superhero movies in history
13:40 That's funny, because this quicksilver is one of Kickass' friends 🤣
Solid Futurama reference 26:40
@@jonathanbarr4297 it's not even Regan 😂 it's Richard Nixon
He was talking about George mentioning the headless clone of Spiro Agnew not Nixon’s ‘my fellow Americans’ line, which is actually a line all presidents have used Nixon simply happened to be the most quoted
If you want more Peter Dinklage, check out "The Station Agent". It's one of his best for pure acting.
Awww, Simone welling up when Jean Gray appeared!
You gotta watch Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri. Dink is in it alone with tons of wonderful actors.
Talking about teachers - Hugh Jackman was literally a teacher and there's a great little moment where a guy he taught in highschool is interviewing him and Hugh Jackman calls him out. He was a PE teacher.
I don't know if you guys would be interested, but I think she would really love reacting to X-Men 97 after you watch the movies. Even though X-Men 97 is a continuation of X-Men The Animated Series, it's still accessible for new viewers.
@@neptunusrex5195 Nope. It's basically season 6.
@@neptunusrex5195Nope, it's a continuation. And it's AMAZING. One of the best tv series of 2024 easily. Writing and action is phenomenal.
7:43 now I recognize young Stryker. in the first Jack Reacher film he's the guy Tom Cruise kicks a field goal between his legs outside the bar.
The movie adaption is great, but does raise some questions. One oddity is the Sentinels' ability to mimic mutant powers is not a Mystique power. It's a Rogue power. Speaking of Rogue - the movie has a Rogue Cut Edition which adds extra scenes to the theatric version. Like many Director's Cuts do, the Rogue Cut introduces some movie pacing issues along with the additional content (most often considered worth it).
In the comics, the Sentinels were formidable machines but they had no mutant based power mimicry. Dr. Trask was not a dwarf in the comics. He created the Sentinel prototype called Master Mold. Master Mold's function included building a Sentinel army (as well as maintaining self maintenance and repair when needed).
Peter Dinklage in A death at a Funeral for some not small fun. 😉
You guys should rewatch this but the Rogue Cut version, it's got at least an extra 20 minutes and adds some detail and an entire extra storyline that changes quite a bit.
Man I remember seeing this movie in theaters so much intensity, and also seeing my favorite x men Colossus dying like that in the final battle with the sentinels traumatized me. AMAZING REACTION LOVED IT
Peters appeared as an imposter Pietro in WandaVision (2021), as a nod to his past role.
Don't remind me of that it was insulting that they used him just for a boner joke. That should have told me that Phase 4 of the MCU was going to suck and that they were still taking their victory laps after Infinity War and Endgame and not looking to the future.
I may have mentioned this before but... EEEEEE Simone has a longhair tuxie! I used to have one, and I miss him so much ;.;
At the start, the guy with the biohazard tattoo on his hand is Ink. His mutant ability is that he can use his tattoos to affect those around him. The guy could be insanely powerful with the right tats.
The guy with the spikes and the black eyes has the ability to disrupt the inner ear of his targets, that's why the 2 soldiers started stumbling and fell over.
Those two by themselves have some AMAZING crowd control, while Havok has learned to properly control his kinetic blasts without the focusing vest Beast made for him. And Toad.... is still Toad.
Can't bring any metal into Magneto's prison. They'd 100% have metal detectors just to make sure nobody forgot a key or a coin in their pocket. If you recall, they did that in the original trilogy as well. They got past it there by putting the metal inside the guard as a liquid.
If they pulled Logan back at any point, they'd shift onto a new timeline. So we can't pull him out and try again. We don't know what the result would be. And as Xavier said later "If we bring him back now, it could set us on an even darker path." But nobody is getting new memories, no.
"Who is that?" That... is a very, VERY powerful mutant. Comic and animated show fans knew by the end of the Stinger.
Death at a Funeral.
Be the first to watch it.
Peter Dikalage has a good role in it.
Penelope too.
13:11 One of the coolest scenes in Cinematic History. Also..."Whip-laaash" 🤣
Simone had a 'flames on the side of my face' moment at the start there, lol
Oh, so this wasn't the Rogue Cut. I realized only when Hank said the line ("did I make it?") during the wrong scene.
Okay, here's my question: Did Logan just kill an alternate version of himself?
Like, after Kitty stops sending Future Logan back into 1973 Logan's body, presumably 1973 Logan went on to lead a normal life, properly meeting Charles, becoming an X-Man, falling in love with Jean all over again, etc. But then one day, BOOM, Future Logan gets shoved back into his brain, and 1973 Logan is just gone. Like permanently gone. He might as well be dead.
I guess maybe Charles can do some telepathy stuff to blend the two sets of memories together, but it's still a pretty messed up way to end a movie.
If this hadn't worked, the professor could have used the enterprise to go back in time and fix things.
Enterprise from WHICH timeline? 😉😜
Reverse the Polarity!
..re engage the tachyon beam at that random point in space..
Im honestly surprised that a lot of people consider this one to be one of the good ones. When I saw the trailer for this i was extremely excited for this movie but when i watched it i thought it was a train wreck.
The greatest X-Men movie ever! Period. It revived the franchise better than First Class did. This for me is James McAvoy’s best performance. He brings the heart as Professor X. It shows you how much talent he has to be that character and on the level of Patrick Stewart .
That slow-mo kitchen scene by itself is reason enough to watch this movie
Has anyone ever said SHUT UP George 😂
I would have love to have seen the look on Hugh Jackman's face when they told him his character was the only one who didn't age 🤑🤑🤑
Both Quicksilvers were in Kick-Ass, BTW.
the break in scenes are one of my favourite speedster scenes in movies
I read that that last twist that shows Mystique disguised as Stryker can be "disregarded" because apparently it was a last minute add-in that wasnt originally in the script.
(creates a plothole for the next movie, saying any more would be kind of a spoiler...)
Hi, there's a movie from a while back called 'The Station Agent' with Peter Dinklage, he's terrific in it, you may enjoy it.
You didn't see Dinklage as the dwarf in Avengers?
Days of Future Past came out in 2014. Infinity War came out in 2018. As George said, this was the first thing he saw Dinklage in after seeing him in Game of Thrones.
and in Space Pants!
Elf?
Technically Dinklage is the dwarf in everything he does
How about Gary Oldman playing a dwarf in "Tiptoes"?
Have you seen "Knights of Badassdom"? Another Peter Dinklage movie.
The Station Agent 2003. I remember Peter Dinklege
A wonderful heartfelt drama indeed, well worth a watch, and the while cast is excellent in it
You say that every school, there's that one teacher everyone has a crush on. Well, Hugh Jackman was in fact a PE Teacher in 1987 in England lol.
Why do reactors never watch the Rogue cut? It's so much more involved (and better imho). After Kitty gets injured, Bobby says it's not just Mystique's powers that make the sentinels, but a combination between that and Rogue, and he knows where they're holding her. So they have to go and break her out so she can absorb Kitty's powers and continue the "time-meld" while Kitty gets medical attention. It adds more context and like 20 more minutes to the movie.
And Bolivar Trask is an anthropologist in the comics, and just sees the rise of mutants as a threat. Amusingly though, he has a tendency to sire mutant children.
Things don't change until Wolverine wakes up so nobody is simultaneously getting new memories. Marty you're not thinking fourth dimensionally
I just realized something, if there's a newspaper showing everything that happened in DC with Mystique and Magneto, that would've had to have been the next day. Logan was underwater all that time.
12:49 correct George, Wanda (Scarlet Witch), Pietro (Quicksilver) and Lorna (Polaris) (if she's ever brought to film) are all children of Magneto. The only reason that connection was not explicitly made in the MCU was that mutants and their film rights were still with Fox at the time Wanda and Pietro were introduced in Avengers 2.
You saw Peter Dinklage in Elf too
Wolverine in his future suit with the touches of yellow, and with the streaks of grey in his hair and his metal claws back, is the best he's looked yet, but we didn't get to see him fight any sentinels...
Whenever JFK strikes his signature pose and shouts his catchphrase “ich bin ein Berliner!” he transforms into a pastry.
You guys should check out the Station Agent, big Peter D's breakthrough role and a really great film.
This movie is based on the Days of Future Past comic books that came outing 1981 written by Chris Claremont and drawn and co-plotted by John Byrne .
The 4 figures in the end credits on horses are the 4 horseman of the Apocalypse
Re: Peter Dinklage--you guys have also watched Elf!
I just checked this too...
He was in Avengers too... Infinity War I believe
@@paulshaw9953they must have watched it in cinema. They're past it in MCU reactions.
Have they never seen "In Bruges?"
@@rexmundi2986 dunno, but Peter isn't in that...
they should watch Space Pants. His best works
Deadpool 3 apparently available digitally oct 1.
You saw Peter Dinklage in "Elf." "Call me elf ONE MORE TIME!"
I always assumed Wolverine hated flying because he would survive the crash
Sound logic if one thinks like Wolverine.
The after credits scene reminds of the movie Stargate, which I do believe you are watching next week.
Speaking of McAvoy being fantastic, he was great in Speak No Evil!
As for Halle Berry's cameo in this film, I recall reading she was pregnant at this time and thus her short role in the film.
JFK wasn't a mutant in comics, but was actually a real-life mutant, though his "mutation" was in the form of a serious endocrine disorder which requires lifelong medication
in the comics, Kitty Pryde was sent to the past to warn the X-Men about the Sentinels wiping out or capturing all of the Mutants & Humans in the world, therefore starting the apocalypse in the future. not Wolverine
yeah but she isnt the one bringing in the money for the movies
@@carronline1 true dat
@@carronline1 Unlike Wolverine, she also isn't old enough in this version to have a past self, whose body she could possess.
that's one downside of wolverine being super popular, he always takes other character roles in adaptations.
@@alanscott6005 good point
i just realized for the first time that the bosses daughter calls wolverine by his real name
The idea that Quicksilver needs protective gear to use his power is stupid with a capital R. It's like having super-strong muscles and normal bones or being able to make fire but not having skin that's resistant to high temperatures.
Also, they aren't getting new memories popping into their heads. While the link to the past is open, both times exist separately. Thats why they can't "bring Logan back and reset" when Kitty is wounded. It would instantly change the timeline and they would no longer be there.
9:50 Elf (2003). 🤣
No one ever notices the original 1970 Wolverine who lived up until to future, who lived a whole life, formed different relationships with everyone... he is just erased out if existence by the alternate timeline Wolverine.
I think the kitchen scene in this movie, is hands down the best part😂 And having Evan Peters play Quicksilver, is the perfect cast
i cant tell you if JFK actually had any powers in the comics, but i can tell you the strongest, absolutely most powerful mutant in the comics is santa claus
