He does have a nicely shaped jaw. I also love how the Charl gag has evolved over the past few months. I feel like they never intended for anyone else besides Patrick to comprehend Charl as a sentient being, but then the world kind of ended.
Wait till Jake tells him he doesn't like his lobster meals. 😉 Also Patrick should definitely do a video on Robert Eggers some day. One of the best directors of this generation imo.
My favorite X-Men stories are usually not the ones where mutants are on the verge of extinction for the 50th time this month. It's the ones where mutants actually start affecting the world in unique ways. I really like the world-building Morrison gave the X-Men series and I'm sad that it doesn't get explored more.
Because it effects the locus of the X-Men if you think about it your supposed to be afraid of these freaks. There's one that's literally a nuclear. That's the power he's a bomb. When they getvoiwer they can only get all the power. They are gods
@@HistoricaHungarica Wait! Is that... ? Is Charle a commentary on Krasinski? Like "he has nothing to say and he is just like an empty coconut".... ? Nah, right? It can´t be...
@@robertopulitano8093 Whoa. Not just what you said but if you look closely, Charl is also "pushed down our throat and put on high pedastal" by a media group (Patrick in Charl's case) AND they look similar as well! (a brown, hairy thing with soulless eyes) Did you just cracked (pun intended) the "Charl code"?
And who'd have thought Ms. Green would have such insight into Levinasian ethics as applied to our current quarantine culture? I swear, Charl knows all the best people to interview.
All the other normies talking about the movies, meanwhile Patrick is the only one Chad enough to talk about the X-men comics who needs Bryan singer and Kevin Feige when we have Grant Morrison and Jonathan Hickman?
The other normies also talking about normie movies. The video about Little Woman was really great! Maybe Patrick will talk about French cinema, great literature or theater in a while. I also love X-Men Comics and Star Wars. No question. But Patrick is evolving and for me there is neither generally inferior children's stuff nor too extravagant, pretentious things in art/entertainment. Just good and bad stuff.
One of y'all better be talking about that one small exchange of dialogue between Mystique and Nightcrawler in X2. Where Kurt asks her why she doesn't make herself look "normal" all the time and she just says "Because we shouldn't have to". I still say Rebecca Romijn is the best Mystique.
Patrick, we can’t begin to tell you how great this series has been. One of the very few bright spots in this dumpster fire of a year. Your video on Little Women was truly excellent. Thank you!
For the record, I'm 100% on board with PHW regarding The Last Jedi as the best and most important transitional Star Wars film since Empire, and I think history is going to prove both of us right.
People hated ESB, and now it's hailed as the greatest, and that's how it'll be with TLJ. People will look at it differently and a new generation will approach it withou the baggage of the older trilogies and wookipedia articles. TFA will be regarded as a swashbukling adventure movie, TLJ will the daring shift toward a darker tone, and ROS will be seen as an ending that left us wanting with it's return to the status quo. Wow. Actually they completely matched the critical reception of the original trilogy. Did they butcher ROS on purpose?
@@__-vb3ht I agree that TLJ is a classic but I'm worried that the films surrounding it will bring it down, since ESB is surrounded by ANH and the (inferior but still mostly good and enjoyable) RoJ, whereas TLJ is surrounded by a New Hope remake with some interesting new characters, and one absolute trainwreck. Granted people unironically love the prequels now, so anything's possible.
The problem with TLJ is, aside from potential inconsistencies with what its message is and how it gets across, and the whole deal with Luke, solely that it’s sandwiched between Force Awakens (an unexciting re-tread of A New Hope), and Episode 9, whose name I can’t even remember because the movie was a strange train wreck that I don’t *want* to remember
bemasaberwyn55 in all fairness, Patrick has called himself “horizontal beetlejuice” on the captions of an older episode 😂 It’s the funniest thing I’ve ever read!
Morrisons X-men run was incredible. So many ideas and character moments. There's a part that still sticks with me 20 years later where Xaviers brain is dying and Jean is absorbing his consciousness until they can heal his body. It's a beautiful scene when she finnaly tells him "Its ok, let go, die Charles I'll catch you, I promise."
Yikes, Charl‘s scalding take on the Ice Age movies and feminism really is something else. By the way, I still think he’s secretly a double agent for Krasinski and is pulling the long con on Patrick.....
That particular page was the first I ever read of X-Men. I grew up with this through the whole Morrison run and into Whedon's Astonishing X-Men, after which they stopped selling the books in my country. I only went into the older stuff later (and Claremont still holds up to this day), so Morrison's New were the reference, even before the films (I was too young to watch the first one when it came out, can you believe that?). This is in many ways a nostalgia trip for me, so thank you.
The fact that Patrick took an X-Men comic as the basis of the video instead of a movie makes me so happy. I agree that the Fox movies always felt more like X-Men lite or 'Wolverine and Friends' as some have (rightfully so) dubbed the franchise instead of living up to the intelligence, creativity, and awesomeness of the X-Men comics.
So X-Men have the opposite problem of Robin Hood and King Arthur, that they have gone back to basics too many times and now we really need experimentation and reinvention.
I’m really enjoying the direction this show has gone. As much as I enjoyed the last musical guests I’m glad to see the trio here. And don’t get me started on Charl. Genius. I’m glad you mended things with him. 😂
I remember reading the TPB of Morrison's New X-Men for the first time and just having my mind blown. I basically fell off of reading new books for about 6-7 years (in middle and high school, I really focused on discovering new music and films) so I hadn't really read any X-Men since the Clermont/Lee variant covers era. This series is probably the most responsible for me diving back in and becoming an adult comic book reader.
Im so proud of New X men since its both Scotsmen ;) always loved Morrison and Quietly. My partner was working at a Quietly exhibition in Glasgow and met his mum lol. Lovely dude too. Glad you're covering this Pat and looking forward to seeing the other vids from my other fave creators
A ton of my favorite Film/Literary channels, as well as LegalEagle? I know saying this is overdone, but this is the most ambitious crossover since Universal's Dark Universe.
These videos are amazing, genuinely, I get to watch an amazing indie movie every week, it's surreal that it only takes a week to do this, these people must work SO hard
I watched it because of this video, and while I think it is good, I have never before felt more stressed while watching a movie in my life. It was a great time.
Even as somebody who's been keeping tabs on the great OC rewatch on Patrick's Twitter, and therefore should've imagined this kind of thing could happen, it was electrifying for Summer to suddenly interject
The Agent character is giving me extremely strong Weird Guy from "The Hollow" vibes. The Legal Eagle cameo made me pause the video so I could literally LOL. I enjoyed this entire video very much.
I just want to say I loved the intro surprise with your dad not getting to play drums and the end with legal eagle. The part with your dad caught me so off guard I almost spit my coffee out, and the part with legal eagle was extra funny because it's your cartoonishly unrealistic manager talking to an real life lawyer who isn't known for being funny saying straightfaced that he represents Charl. Both made me laugh out oud, and I appreciate that.
Watches the video wondering if you were going to talk about Hickman's run and your thoughts on it. So happy you mentioned it and even happier that you enjoy it so far.
Mr. Willems' "Oh" is perhaps the saddest thing I've heard in a while. Also before I forget, the X-Tended X-Men discussion from a few years back actually cemented my appreciation, then love for the X-Men. Now I'm a proud comic collector, and X-Men (most notably HOX/POX and Grant Morrison's run) adorn my shelf. EDIT: New X-Men's Wolverine and his need to never wear a shirt is a mood.
I want it to be good but... the Magik part kinda turned me off. Don't get me wrong, I like the character, but I was hoping it to be a straight up horror movie. I want it to feel like these kids are stuck at this place and they could actually die, but then if they become CGI superheroes and they defeat the monster by themselves, it takes away from the whole scary aspect and basically break it into yet another superhero movie.
It's nice to see you doing comics! There isn't enough video essays about them on youtube, and I find it refreshing. Also, I'm european, so the american comics landscape, weirdly dominated by the superhero genre, is kind of fascinating for me. I own a few american comics myself, my favourite being "The life and times of Scrooge McDuck". It's a prequel to Ducktales telling the joutg of Uncle Scrooge. It is well drawn and it gets surprinsingly dark in some places… Also, there is a scene where Scrooge fights President Roosevelt with a log. If you have the occasion to read it, give it a shot.
I for sure will pick up this X-Men series. However, my favorite comic book artist is J.H.Williams III. The way he uses panels, moves the eye, ugh, I love it.
Dude, I for REAL want a full length X-men movie from you guys in the style of Wes Anderson.... you gave us a trailer and, goddamnit, I want that. I want that in my life!
We've gotta try and get our points in before the "it was only ever meant to be nostalgia and OT things being great, and TLJ ruined it all" revisionism takes hold completely, I guess.
Fantastic editing in this video. Really blew it away. I sincerely hope that the MCU does take some notes from Morrison, but I could see them feeling like they have to go back to introducing some classic version or something.
Patrick, you need to bring back Matt's concern for your relationship with Charl. Incorporate it into the band bit. Make it seem like you haven't forgotten, and time has progressed, and so have Charl's plans. With the quarantine, and the state of the world, it's a perfect opportunity to really dig into something there.
I've took exception to the idea that Morrison introduced secondary mutations. He maybe coined the name, but wolverines healing factor seems an entirely different mutation from his animal senses. Jean was telekenic, which was entirely seperate from telepathy. Mutants with more than one mutation was fairly common.
For Patrick's sake - and the sake of everyone who likes Johnson's films - I hope that Johnson finds a way to adapt his planned trilogy into something different and get it the fuck away from Star Wars. Give us the Pacific Rim to that franchise's Transformers and a sandpit which isn't one huge screaming brawl.
Thanks patrick! As everyone knows, Locke is a critically acclaimed indie drama in which a man named Ivan Locke drives for 90 minutes. Coincidentally, after I lent my dvd copy of Locke to you last summer, it rode unwatched in your backpack for three weeks. Because you haven't watched Locke in the year since then, here's why I still think you should. Locke is a single location film with only one person on screen, but it has a fantastic voice cast. Also, quarantine is the perfect time to watch somebody sit in one place and make phone calls while his life falls apart! That's just two of hundreds of reasons why you should watch Locke. And if I get to do another Lockedown, you better believe I'll be telling you more of them! Back to you Patrick.
I LOVED your previous X-Men video and all the stuff going on in the world has only reignited my passion for the X-Men. Plus, Jonathan Hickman is doing some amazing stuff with them right now
Coming to this after the ‘97 finale (spoilers ahead) and it’s very funny to hear Connor, the X-Men X-Pert, say that no one really cared about Operation 0 Tolerance
The weird thing is I never saw that first page before this video. I bought all of Morrisons X-men comics form a secondhand book store, and for some reason the first page was missing from the first Morrison--issue. That was the only missing page though.
Definitely one of Morrison's more controversial and hit-or-miss runs, but it certainly shook things up and added a lot to play off of later (Cassandra Nova, secondary mutations, mutant subculture, Quire, Fantomax, the Cuckoos...) and is clearly the evolutionary predecessor to the Hickman's stuff.
New X-Men rules. You should have pointed out the spinning title that says the same thing no matter if it’s upside down or not. I know it’s a gimmick, but it’s always a fun one.
The bit at the end with Legal Eagle, Attorney at Jaw (seriously, that thing has a sharper edge than most of my kitchen knives) has me dying!
He does have a nicely shaped jaw. I also love how the Charl gag has evolved over the past few months. I feel like they never intended for anyone else besides Patrick to comprehend Charl as a sentient being, but then the world kind of ended.
It was highly unethical. I liked it.

As someone who has never read a comic, this has me really excited about starting a new hobby in X-Men! Thanks and cool vid Patrick!
Since this whole Xcellent scene is open to everything X-Men I really hope someone does a Magneto "WELCOME TO DIE!" moment from the arcade game.
As a teen in the early 2000’s I’d just like to say your use of “The O.C.” clip really resonated with me. Thank you.
How has Josh Schwartz not been handed the reigns of a superhero franchise yet?
Never even thought of that, but he’d be great for rebooting the X-Men over at Disney. @@Jack-Steel
He made a whole video about The O.C.
wait a minute, in the early 2000s, I was reading the Ultimate Marvel when I could've been reading Grant Morrison's X-Men? How dumb was I?
This storyline kinda ends terribly and ultimately makes the series worse imo. It's certainly a wild ride though
Derek Skelton but I could’ve avoided an incest plot and told it’s okay because they love each other and look what they did to Kurt! Just...why?
I read both. Ultimate Marvel has some decent points, but oof, Ultimate X-Men definitely wasn't it compared to Morrison's.
Pretty funny that Morrison and Millar HATE each other, and made "who can write a better X-Men series" part of their feud.

Kevin fiege will pull stories written by Morrison and Hickman anyway he's responsible for Wolverine look too

That surprise crossover at the end was perfect! It was like seeing Sam Jackson at the end of Iron Man!!!
Patrick’s maintained this talk show format so well all things considered
The Williems lore is getting really deep. When are the novels coming out?
He's going straight to a wiki. If there's one thing Star Wars has taught us, it's that wikis are what people really want.
i really loved morrison's x-men when i was a kid. it was a bless watching this!! good job!! :)
Charl just can't keep this kind of momentum. His crash will be as big as his rise.
When Matt said “Dude it’s all gravy!” I felt that
This episode is fire. Cameos are on point. Charmed by Charl (as usual), bank hijinks and also: comics!
Thanks patrick! As everyone knows, Locke is a critically acclaimed indie drama in which a man named Ivan Locke drives for 90 minutes. Coincidentally, after I lent my dvd copy of Locke to you last summer, it rode unwatched in your backpack for three weeks. Because you haven't watched Locke in the year since then, here's why I still think you should.
Locke is a single location film with only one person on screen, but it has a fantastic voice cast. Also, quarantine is the perfect time to watch somebody sit in one place and make phone calls while his life falls apart! That's just two of hundreds of reasons why you should watch Locke. And if I get to do another Lockedown, you better believe I'll be telling you more of them! Back to you Patrick.
For the record, I'm giving you a LIKE because you mentioned the Last Jedi
Last Jedi was shit.
I LOVED your previous X-Men video and all the stuff going on in the world has only reignited my passion for the X-Men. Plus, Jonathan Hickman is doing some amazing stuff with them right now
Here's the thing about the beard: It's perfect.
It's X-Cellent
It's Fantastic (No pun Intended).
it's Uncanny
@@fairboxie It's Astonishing
@@youngboss2071 it's Incredible
I have never read a single X-Men comic in my life, but I think I’m still enjoying this.
shout out to Connor Goldsmith. His twitter is a goldmine.
when it comes to superhero movies, Patrick Willems always gets it.

As a comic book nerd, I can concur: crossover events are just these things that disrupt the ongoing stories.
The Xorn twist was fantastic. Too bad Marvel was too chickenshit to stick to it.
Coming to this after the ‘97 finale (spoilers ahead) and it’s very funny to hear Connor, the X-Men X-Pert, say that no one really cared about Operation 0 Tolerance
The weird thing is I never saw that first page before this video. I bought all of Morrisons X-men comics form a secondhand book store, and for some reason the first page was missing from the first Morrison--issue. That was the only missing page though.
Definitely one of Morrison's more controversial and hit-or-miss runs, but it certainly shook things up and added a lot to play off of later (Cassandra Nova, secondary mutations, mutant subculture, Quire, Fantomax, the Cuckoos...) and is clearly the evolutionary predecessor to the Hickman's stuff.
New X-Men rules. You should have pointed out the spinning title that says the same thing no matter if it’s upside down or not. I know it’s a gimmick, but it’s always a fun one.
I'm not a fan of the series as a whole, but that gimmick does rules,
And beak, angel, cyclops (hyuk hyuk) and glob are the best
I used to read New X-men in the public library as a kid and it is AMAZING. The part with The Danger Room is *Chefs Kiss*
