Fun Fact: James McAvoy shaved his head when he got the role because he knew Charles Xavier is bald. He then discovered the writers intended for him to have hair, so he had to wear a wig throughout the movie
@@kingofcomics5951 He's a big ass nerd. In a interview on a brazillian site, he discovered that BBC was developing a His Dark Materials show and He went to them to get a part. He's not only terrific on the show, he also become one of the producers.
Magneto is not in the wrong. That's what makes these movies great and the interaction between Professor X and Magneto. They both want what's best for mutants, they just disagree on what that is and the best way to go about getting it. It's like in X3 when Magneto says "Charles Xavier did more for mutants than you will ever know. My single greatest regret is that he had to die for our cause to live." We're so used to movies having good guys and bad guys, black and white, this is shades of grey. They're both at least partially right and at least partially wrong.
i agree with basically everything here. that said as time goes on and things don't improve for mutants it kinda seems the balance swings more towards magneto was right.
It's a brilliant idea of what an "antagonist" can be that powers the entire movie series. And the longer the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine last, and the more countries around the world in which we see democracy toppling nowadays, the more correct Magneto seems
This is my favourite X-MEN Movie. Glad you're finally watching it! Magneto killing Shaw is still one of the most iconic scenes in Marvel Film history. So powerful, and so heartbreaking. After this film we get an even greater X-MEN Film that ties both the prequel cast and the OG cast. You'll enjoy that film too!
@@Chriswallace0405 Read what I wrote carefully. I said "film", and I'm clearly referring to "Days Of Future Past". Edit: Also when I say that next film is greater, I still think it's a better movie, but doesn't stop the previous film being my favourite. You can have a favourite film in a series even if it's not the best one.

they really did an unbelievable job at casting in this movie, but especially for young charles and erik. mcavoy and fassbenders performances as young charles and erik are so good.
This movie basically saved the franchise. Since it’s from the same director of Kick-Ass and Kingsman, of course it’s going to be a high brow superhero movie.
Hey Angie! The Emma Frost situation is complicated. Mostly because they didn't actually plan for this movie to follow the continuity of the previous movies, being more of a soft reboot with a lot of references to previous movies. So the "Emma" from Origins was supposed to be a young Emma Frost, but when they made this movie (that takes place "before" Origins), they wanted to use a more direct adaptation of the comic character for the story, where she's already an adult, which creates a HUGE inconsistency (among other things about First Class). Don't worry, things will just get more confusing from now on.😅
I don't know what they originally intended, but I'm pretty sure the series producer Lauren Donner has officially come out and said Emma Silverfox is not Emma Frost, merely inspired by her. Let's also remember, AFAIK, Emma Frost has two sisters - Cordelia and Adrienne - neither of whom are Kayla Silverfox. Emma Silverfox, in turn, doesn't show any psionic talent. Really the only connecting factors are her first name and diamond skin.
@@TheRawrnstuff The character in Origins being "Emma Silverfox" is obviously a retcon, no matter how much this film's director and the franchise's producers hem and haw. Considering when Origins first came out Tozzi was billed as "Emma Frost." I distinctly remember a character "trailer" for the actress where she is advertised as such. Even if the audience somehow believes that one excuse, there's still this film's Moira MacTaggert. At least the multiple, different-aged Jubilees, Warren Angels, Psylockes et al in later movies can be chalked up to being a result of their time traveling shenanigans in DOFP.
There are 3 Summers brothers: Alex [Havok], Scott [Cyclops], and Gabriel [Vulcan]. Their dad is Christopher Summers [Corsairs]. They are all pew pew people in their own way. (Changed to not confuse comic readers)
19:30 They did Darwin SO dirty in this movie. He CAN adapt to survive ANYTHING in the comics. He just has no control over how he adapts. In one instance, he's given a neurotoxin, so he ends up as a sentient sea sponge. As they have no nervous system. In another, he tries to take on a rampaging Hulk. Figuring that he could only be made either stronger than Hulk, or defensive enough to subdue him. And instead ends up being teleported as far from the Hulk as possible.
A theory ive heard and like to believed is that he became an energy, a literall energy shaw fed him to survive. And energy dont have physical form. He still exist just cant be seen. Who knows maybe hell find a way to create and acessna physical form
He can adapt to anything except being the only Black guy in a Hollywood action movie. They had to kill someone, and it wasn't going to be Mistique, Beast, Cyclops' brother, or... the guy who screams loud.
@@76tennboyconsidering she referenced the other Emma Frost in this reaction I’m pretty sure she has watched it. She likely just forgot about how old Wolverine is.
I don't know who says it goes down hill after First Class, I've only heard people say how much they love the next one, Days of Future Past, so much more.
It goes downhill after Days of Future Past. Apocalypse was alright, and Dark Phoenix was hot garbage. (Edit) I'm specifically referring to the X-Men movies. Wolverine and Deadpool are exempt from that.
DOFP is fun, but it should have come later. The reboot cast needed more movies to establish itself, and doing a crossover movie immediately killed its momentum dead.
@@raveoreynolds6049This film's director, Matthew Vaughn, has been on record as saying the only thing he would add in his sequel to his film was Tom Hardy as a rebooted Wolverine. We would've been left with a weak (not to mention female-less) X-Men team consisting of Hoult's "Beast," Till's "Havok," Jones' "Banshee," and Hardy's "Wolverine." Not terribly exciting. But seems par for the course for a director who seemed to find a way to get his female characters (Moira, Emma, Angel, Mystique) in their underwear in First Class. This franchise's producers were right to let him go. Let him do his Kingsmen sequels...
Yes you ARE coorect that is indeed Emma Frost in BOTH movies..her Mutant Vofr Name was the White Queen but shes so popular/famous that most people just call her Emma Frost
I can't imagine the pressure Michael Fassbender felt having to fill the boots of Ian Mckellan, but he really knocked it out of the park between some top tier writing and acting. Same deal for James McAvoy and Patrick Stewart. One of these days they'll have to recast Wolverine, and I pity whoever has to follow Hugh Jackman. That's another tough act to follow.
The situations are not the same. Movie watchers didn't know Magneto/X's origins when the reboot cast were introduced. But Wolverine has had what, 10 movies worth of his lore explained? There's nothing left on the bone for a new actor anyways.
eh. y'all love overrating and overpraising hugh jackman. it's not because he's so talented and amazing - but because he had many movies: original trilogy, his own trilogy, he appeared in prequels, and now... deadpool & wolverine (trash btw) so many territories explored. it's became tired long ago. his acting skills are good. yet he didn't show any of it - shite acting for shite movies as x, x2, the last stand, wolverine origins, and the wolverine. at least logan was very, very good.
If you’re contemplating reacting to Split, do yourself a favor and watch Unbreakable first, Split second, and finish with Glass. If you can’t fit watching them in that order somewhere down the line, Split as a stand-alone film is amazing, and always stays in my top 10 films (that’s coming from a cinema nut).
32:45 I wish to god that they kept Magneto’s final outfit in this movie throughout the franchise! Not only does it look like the original comic outfit, it’s updated so that instead of spandex and purple trunks you get this regal, final boss looking villain.
28:03 The *CHAMPIONS* tabletop RPG (of which a MMO videogame version exists) is the system most used to simulate any kind of superhero / supervillain situation. You can literally make a whole superhero world (trademarked or original) with it, inculding all the types of superhero adventures you can think of.
Darwin the guy who adapts is so much more powerful than that in the comics. He's literally evolved into a death god to avoid death. When world breaker hulk(a completely raged out version of hulk) came up against Darwin he evolved teleportation powers to get away from him
8:01 Kayla Silverfox's sister Emma in X-Men Origins: Wolverine has been confirmed by its series producer to be a different character as Emma Frost. Probably initially intended to be Emma Frost (initial promotional material advertised her as Emma Frost) since this was supposed to be like a franchise reboot. Because of this, the Emma in X-Men Origins: Wolverine is presumably retconned as Emma Silverfox (Kayla Silverfox's sister) to remove the continuity error for Emma Frost in First Class is older than X-Men Origins: Wolverine which is set much later.
Funny fact about Xavier's name: It was originally pronounced "zay-vee-ur" but they called his team the X-Men prompting people to pronounce his name we do today and they just rolled with it.
Simon Kinberg proved that he can do a better job as a producer than as a writer In fact, he was the one who pitched Matthew Vaughn to direct this movie, after seeing KICK-ASS
Vaughn was also set to direct the third movie, The Last Stand, but he dropped out because of a combination of family issues, creative differences with the studio, and the producers trying to bait and switch Halle Berry into doing the movie with a fake script
@@seb______He was the executive producer in the previous movies, but then decided to step in as the main producer for the 3rd one That might explain the sher amount of characters and very little time to develop them
I had a Professor X moment of my own during this reaction. I was listening to it in the bath (no google, no voice-activated smart speakers etc) so as soon as you mentioned the actor who plays Magneto I was like oh yeah, what's his name... uh... what IS his name?? After about 10 minutes of trying to think of other movies he's been in etc I had this moment of thinking "OK, you know this, it's in your memory. You don't need to talk yourself into it, just remember..." and his name instantly came into my mind 😂 Felt like a galaxy-brain moment for sure.
This is crazy since I just binge watched His Dark Materials a few days ago and James McAvoy is in that! Also this is the movie that started my BFF's crush on him too lmfao
I have some movie suggestions: - The Iron Claw - Apollo 13 - Legends of the Fall - Balto - Young Woman and the Sea - How To Train Your Dragon Trilogy - 1917 - Bottoms - Booksmart - The Prince of Egypt
Seriously though, this chapter is my favorite for it's historical setting in the '60s, with its collage of actual comic origins, the Cold War/Spy era paranoia, Cuban Missile Crisis, the Civil Rights movement, free love and women's lib etc. Way to rock Boomer History Nerds! 😉
9:27 god it’s such a stark contrast between Erik killing the people responsible for his childhood trauma and Charles living a life of luxury in college.
I can honestly say the way they did the scene with the bullet was amazing because everyone in the cinema knew Professor X is famous for that high-tech wheelchair and yet everybody gasped when they saw Erik deflect that bullet... The way Charles/James arcs his entire body in the background... Gah.
I honestly started singing the same song when the CIA agents were falling too😂😂😂😂Yes they got Rebecca Romijn, the original Raven for the bed scene. Very cool!😎
I love that James is Scottish, Michael is Irish & they played two English accent characters because of Patrick Stewart & Ian McKellen original portrayals of Prof X & Magneto. Days of Future Past is another excellent movie in the franchise
The music score was so good in this movie. Alas they didn't bring the main themes along with the sequels (especially the Magneto's one, I love it so much).
The best villains are always written so that you understand their motivations. They don’t see themselves as a bad guy, because Eric’s motives are all good. It’s just the way he goes about trying to achieve his goals that is evil. He’s been traumatized and is literally trying to make sure it never happens again to his new family of choice. Lines like “I’ve been at the mercy of men just following orders. Never again.” Or in the one with the mutant cure after someone says it’s voluntary and no one is talking about rounding up mutants to force it on them Eric says “No one ever talks about it. They just do it.” Or “Registration. That’s how it always begins.” And my personal favorite, “Peace was never an option.” He’s actually very heroic, but he’s absolutely ruthless about it.
This one is really good and a slick change up to the franchise. It's gonna get better and you gonna get even more giddy. (Oh, forget what I said, I just remember some of the upcoming movies. lol.)
@@raveoreynolds6049 Mystiques story makes no sense together with the first three movies? And when we get to Xmen Apocalypse there's a lot of characters that won't make sense.
It's not quite a prequel series since the timeline does diverge quite a bit from the original trilogy. Logan and the New Mutants continue the original timeline though
I used that song for a pun recently as well. Guitarist Gretchen Menn’s sister Kirsten features on her album and I couldn’t help thinking 🎵It’s raining Menn, hallelujah!🎵 I left it there BUT there’s also “Two & a Half Menn”, because her husband is on the album too but they both kept their original surnames. Equal rights for men. And Menn!
Shout out to this nerdy chick for being thorough in her Deadpool prep! I love these First Class movies! 🎉 Fassbender fucks us up in ALL of them, he's great.
Fun fact: The bar where Magneto confronts the two nazi men is established to be in a place called Villa Gessel, in Argentina. Yet the real life Villa Gessel is a beach city on the eastern edges of the country, while the mountainside the movie portrayed is in the western edges of the nation. So, yay, Hollywood
The cast of this movie is just brilliant. The cameo of Wolverine is epic. Such a good movie. If you watxh the next one, be shure its the "rogue cut". Its the by far better version.
@27:55 Funny u mentioned this, but my brother & cousins used to play a Marvel Universe D&D-based board game when we were kids in the early 90s. I was the Hulk, my older brother was Colossus, my older cousin (of 3 boys) was Wolverine, and his younger siblings (we were about similar ages btw) were Gambit & Iron Man. It was SO much FUN! 😎
Alex Summers is actually Scott Summer's older Brother......He goes by the name Havoc and projects enerygy from his Torso while Scott projects energy from his eyes....
I hope someone gave Angie a list of films to watch to "catch every reference" because it's A LOT! And a bunch of old stuff like the original Daredevil, Balde, and Fantastic 4 films. Also, possibly Mad Max: Fury Road lol
Sentinels always rubbed me the wrong way, even in the comics, but Days of Future Past had an enjoyableness. And [sigh], I used to have such a crush on Eliot Page. 💔
3:24 she says after watching Origins Wolverine which starts in 1830s A fun James McAvoy film to watch Penelope has Christina Ricci and Reese Witherspoon in it. Alex is actually Scott’s younger brother. Oh and Banshee is the father to Siren who is the girl in X2 whose screams wake the whole house up.
There is a list of non X-MEN movies you should watch before Deadpool and Wolverine if you dont want to miss a single refference or cameo. But if i name them it would be a spoiler for the cameos. So i recommend to watch every pre MCU Superhero film without saying which specifically. That would be Blade, Daredevil, Punisher, Elektra, Ghost Rider, Fantastic 4 plus the Loki series
I have a huge crush on James Mcavoy! Like I just- has me thirsting every time he is on screen 🥹🫶 And he seems like a genuine down to earth dude! Love his so much and he inspires me as an aspiring actor and performer!
12:24 Yeah, sometimes, very rarely, some mutants develop "secondary mutations" Jean Grey (telepathy and telekinesis) and Emma Frost (telepathy and organic diamond form) are the two most known examples
I saw this in theaters and was a little drunk at the time. As soon as Kevin Bacon showed up on screen I kept shouting, “That’s Kevin Bacon!” One of my friends had to shoosh me.
Some people watching these movies (who haven't read the comics) mistakenly assume that Charles Xavier can freeze time. He's actually freezing all the people by controlling their minds.
!1:35 we pronounce it that way because thats how you pronounce that word in english Ange, because that, pheonetically is how you pronounce a word spelled G-A-R-A-G-E. Theres precedent for pronocuning it the letter a in that context either way but thats just how that word is said.
Favorite superhero rpgs: 1. Mutants & Masterminds 3rd edition lets you make any character and powers and devices you could possibly imagine, but there's a ton of math that can be intimidating. They do have basically ready made character archetype packages in the books for a particular level, though. 2. Masks: A New Generation - strong teen titans vibes, easy to make characters who are young superheroes trying to define themselves. 3. The Way of a Hero: a simple and straightforward superhero game. 4. Marvel Multiverse Roleplaying Game - The latest official marvel comics rpg, has a D&D 5e familiar character sheet and an X-men guide book that just came out, but uses three six sided dice. Not sure how I feel about the limits of the powers, though. But they do provide character sheets for major marvel and X-men heroes and villains for players at a variety of levels.
5. The Godsend Agenda: The modern world has been shaped throughout recent history by six kinds of superhumans, three alien and three earthly, some of whom have been acting as gods and monsters and all of whom have the ability to change the world. Options include high tech angels in iron man like armor with energy wings, ancient gods, telepathic metamorphic monsters who transform themselves and adapt to become whatever people expect them to be, highly trained agents who come through in the nick of time, immortal magic using Atlanteans, and essentially mutants whose powers are unstable and eventually explosive. 6. Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game. A fun and quick way of designing a superhero some interesting abilities that change as the situation grows more dire, allowing them to pull out all the stops. 7. Wearing the Cape: The Roleplaying Game: Superheroes have only been a thing for a few years, but the world is changed by their rise. This uses the story-focused Fate Core system, which can be lot of fun. 8. Smallville RPG: A hidden gem, this system let's you design your character's abilities and resources through their history and balances intrepid and plucky mere mortals with Kryptonians, Atlanteans, Magicians, and Metahumans. 9. AMP: Year One (and Year Two, Three, Four, etc): has a very X-men like feel, with people of Accelerated Mutant Potential (colloquially referred to as AMPs) manifesting when one conspiracy falls and can no longer keep them powerless, resulting in different teams and factions forming and conflicts between groups of AMPs, "normal" humans, etc. Later years provide rules for people who keep coming back to life, advanced tech, aliens and magic users as well, but AMPs are at the heart of the story. 10. Deviant: the Renegades. Essentially Wolverine, the game. Or Firestarter. Or the Isle of Doctor Moreau. Players make characters who used to be human but who were experimented on and gained great power but something inside them broke and now they seek payback and vengeance as they try to unravel the mysteries of who did this to them.
Other then D&D the group I grew up with played Champions by Hero Games. We made a chart that converted Marvel's ttrpg Word Based Stats to number for Champions so we could play as our favorite Marvel heroes. Supers RPG seems a pretty solid system. Enjoy.
Hi Angelina. Great reaction! You are always so high energy but also very analytical which is a great combo to have. I agree about the following x men movies not being as good, but days of future past was still really good. Also of course deadpool so don’t kiss those of if you haven’t seen them already. Cheers.

32:45 I wish to god that they kept Magneto’s final outfit in this movie throughout the franchise! Not only does it look like the original comic outfit, it’s updated so that instead of spandex and purple trunks you get this regal, final boss looking villain.
Wolverine was one of the best cameos in film history. He responded just like Wolverine
28:03
The *CHAMPIONS* tabletop RPG (of which a MMO videogame version exists) is the system most used to simulate any kind of superhero / supervillain situation.
You can literally make a whole superhero world (trademarked or original) with it, inculding all the types of superhero adventures you can think of.
9:27 god it’s such a stark contrast between Erik’s revenge plot and Charles living through the life of a raunchy comedy protagonist.
Darwin the guy who adapts is so much more powerful than that in the comics. He's literally evolved into a death god to avoid death. When world breaker hulk(a completely raged out version of hulk) came up against Darwin he evolved teleportation powers to get away from him
8:01 Kayla Silverfox's sister Emma in X-Men Origins: Wolverine has been confirmed by its series producer to be a different character as Emma Frost. Probably initially intended to be Emma Frost (initial promotional material advertised her as Emma Frost) since this was supposed to be like a franchise reboot. Because of this, the Emma in X-Men Origins: Wolverine is presumably retconned as Emma Silverfox (Kayla Silverfox's sister) to remove the continuity error for Emma Frost in First Class is older than X-Men Origins: Wolverine which is set much later.
Fun fact, this movie was ment to be a solo Magneto movie but when X-men Origins failed at the box office they change it to this movie
This and Captain America The First Avenger, are CRIMINALLY underrated comic book movies.
Funny fact about Xavier's name: It was originally pronounced "zay-vee-ur" but they called his team the X-Men prompting people to pronounce his name we do today and they just rolled with it.
19:42 that was one of the stupidest death i ever saw, in the comics he is literally unkillable.
it still amazes me that McAvoy and Fassbender are both in band of brothers ten years before this when they werent as famous.
Simon Kinberg proved that he can do a better job as a producer than as a writer
In fact, he was the one who pitched Matthew Vaughn to direct this movie, after seeing KICK-ASS
Vaughn was also set to direct the third movie, The Last Stand, but he dropped out because of a combination of family issues, creative differences with the studio, and the producers trying to bait and switch Halle Berry into doing the movie with a fake script

@@Zombiesnyder13aint no way avi arad was a part of the xmen shits 😭 i thought bro was only messing with the amazing spiderman
@@seb______He was the executive producer in the previous movies, but then decided to step in as the main producer for the 3rd one
That might explain the sher amount of characters and very little time to develop them
Oh god, these f'ing same comment spam accounts are multiplying.
Alex and Scott Summers are brothers
Yes Ange, Emma Frost is the diamond girl from Wolverine Origins and Kayla's sister.
I love how into it you are, don't worry yet: the next one, days of future past, ist the best one. Really excited for your next reaction
Grew up watching this and love it and love the scene when he says he can't feel his legs
X-men First Class was such a good reboot of the X-men franchise! Great reaction as always Angelina :)
Hopefully when you get to Days Of Future Past you watch The Rogue Cut.
I loved Henry Jackman's score so much that I made a video of the first AVENGERS with the theme "Rage and Serenity"
Next movie is my favorite in this entire franchise! I'm so excited for you to react to it!
I had a Professor X moment of my own during this reaction. I was listening to it in the bath (no google, no voice-activated smart speakers etc) so as soon as you mentioned the actor who plays Magneto I was like oh yeah, what's his name... uh... what IS his name?? After about 10 minutes of trying to think of other movies he's been in etc I had this moment of thinking "OK, you know this, it's in your memory. You don't need to talk yourself into it, just remember..." and his name instantly came into my mind 😂 Felt like a galaxy-brain moment for sure.
This is crazy since I just binge watched His Dark Materials a few days ago and James McAvoy is in that! Also this is the movie that started my BFF's crush on him too lmfao
That's not crazy. Just in your head
I have some movie suggestions:
- The Iron Claw
- Apollo 13
- Legends of the Fall
- Balto
- Young Woman and the Sea
- How To Train Your Dragon Trilogy
- 1917
- Bottoms
- Booksmart
- The Prince of Egypt
S tier last three movies omg
Seriously though, this chapter is my favorite for it's historical setting in the '60s, with its collage of actual comic origins, the Cold War/Spy era paranoia, Cuban Missile Crisis, the Civil Rights movement, free love and women's lib etc. Way to rock Boomer History Nerds! 😉
9:27 god it’s such a stark contrast between Erik killing the people responsible for his childhood trauma and Charles living a life of luxury in college.
I can honestly say the way they did the scene with the bullet was amazing because everyone in the cinema knew Professor X is famous for that high-tech wheelchair and yet everybody gasped when they saw Erik deflect that bullet... The way Charles/James arcs his entire body in the background... Gah.
I honestly started singing the same song when the CIA agents were falling too😂😂😂😂Yes they got Rebecca Romijn, the original Raven for the bed scene. Very cool!😎
I love that James is Scottish, Michael is Irish & they played two English accent characters because of Patrick Stewart & Ian McKellen original portrayals of Prof X & Magneto.
Days of Future Past is another excellent movie in the franchise
Fun X-Men lore mystique and the red devil guy that teleported are night crawlers parents
LOVE your makeup in this video! absolutely exquisite! 🙂
This movie is great. The submarine lift is such a wonderful moment.
Note to editor Reese- mutants & masterminds is supposed to be a good TTRPG system for superheroes
The music score was so good in this movie. Alas they didn't bring the main themes along with the sequels (especially the Magneto's one, I love it so much).
The best villains are always written so that you understand their motivations. They don’t see themselves as a bad guy, because Eric’s motives are all good. It’s just the way he goes about trying to achieve his goals that is evil. He’s been traumatized and is literally trying to make sure it never happens again to his new family of choice. Lines like “I’ve been at the mercy of men just following orders. Never again.” Or in the one with the mutant cure after someone says it’s voluntary and no one is talking about rounding up mutants to force it on them Eric says “No one ever talks about it. They just do it.” Or “Registration. That’s how it always begins.” And my personal favorite, “Peace was never an option.” He’s actually very heroic, but he’s absolutely ruthless about it.
Magneto is the best in all of these prequel movies. Michael Fassbender played the role perfectly every time and his story is absolutely amazing.
This one is really good and a slick change up to the franchise. It's gonna get better and you gonna get even more giddy. (Oh, forget what I said, I just remember some of the upcoming movies. lol.)
I really need Ange to understand that this is not a direct prequel to the original series. I can just imagine her confusion when she goes on 😂
Uh, yeah it is? They literally even wanted Bryan Singer to direct it, but he was busy.
@@raveoreynolds6049 Mystiques story makes no sense together with the first three movies? And when we get to Xmen Apocalypse there's a lot of characters that won't make sense.
It's not quite a prequel series since the timeline does diverge quite a bit from the original trilogy. Logan and the New Mutants continue the original timeline though
Charles and Erik are the best duo❤
Also, the last scene, Magneto' snew team is INSANE
Days of Future Past was one of my favorites.
I used that song for a pun recently as well. Guitarist Gretchen Menn’s sister Kirsten features on her album and I couldn’t help thinking 🎵It’s raining Menn, hallelujah!🎵 I left it there BUT there’s also “Two & a Half Menn”, because her husband is on the album too but they both kept their original surnames. Equal rights for men. And Menn!
Shout out to this nerdy chick for being thorough in her Deadpool prep! I love these First Class movies! 🎉 Fassbender fucks us up in ALL of them, he's great.
This is one of my favorite movies ever im glad you watched it and enjoyed it
This is one of the top X-men movie for me! You should watch those interviews with James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender.
Fun fact: The bar where Magneto confronts the two nazi men is established to be in a place called Villa Gessel, in Argentina. Yet the real life Villa Gessel is a beach city on the eastern edges of the country, while the mountainside the movie portrayed is in the western edges of the nation. So, yay, Hollywood
Not fun. Boring
Thank you for your reaction!
I knew you’d enjoyed this movie since you said in your The Last Stand that you love Magneto’s writing.
Fun fact the woman at the end of X-Men last stand with Charles was Moira (cia lady he kisses) and yes she is a love interest for professor x
That’s how British people say “garage “ there’s a song by Elton John called “Levon” where he pronounces it the same way.☺️👍
What do ya mean goes down hill!!??? You still have "the wolverine" "days of future past" and ofcourse "Deadpool 3" 💯🔥
I was just thinkng about rewatching this movie. Crazy
The cast of this movie is just brilliant. The cameo of Wolverine is epic. Such a good movie. If you watxh the next one, be shure its the "rogue cut". Its the by far better version.
@27:55 Funny u mentioned this, but my brother & cousins used to play a Marvel Universe D&D-based board game when we were kids in the early 90s. I was the Hulk, my older brother was Colossus, my older cousin (of 3 boys) was Wolverine, and his younger siblings (we were about similar ages btw) were Gambit & Iron Man. It was SO much FUN! 😎
Alex Summers is actually Scott Summer's older Brother......He goes by the name Havoc and projects enerygy from his Torso while Scott projects energy from his eyes....
I hope someone gave Angie a list of films to watch to "catch every reference" because it's A LOT! And a bunch of old stuff like the original Daredevil, Balde, and Fantastic 4 films. Also, possibly Mad Max: Fury Road lol
I’m not the biggest fan of apocalypse and dark phoenix, but in my opinion, days of future past is amazing, as well as first class!
Sentinels always rubbed me the wrong way, even in the comics, but Days of Future Past had an enjoyableness. And [sigh], I used to have such a crush on Eliot Page. 💔
3:24 she says after watching Origins Wolverine which starts in 1830s
A fun James McAvoy film to watch Penelope has Christina Ricci and Reese Witherspoon in it.
Alex is actually Scott’s younger brother. Oh and Banshee is the father to Siren who is the girl in X2 whose screams wake the whole house up.
Shaw’s ability to stay young for decades seems impressive. But than it turns out Xavier, Magneto and Beast can all do that too without explanation.
There is a list of non X-MEN movies you should watch before Deadpool and Wolverine if you dont want to miss a single refference or cameo. But if i name them it would be a spoiler for the cameos. So i recommend to watch every pre MCU Superhero film without saying which specifically. That would be Blade, Daredevil, Punisher, Elektra, Ghost Rider, Fantastic 4 plus the Loki series
^ this one needs more upvotes, I was about to write something similar.
worth watching this entire series in order ending with deadpool 3 !!
I have a huge crush on James Mcavoy! Like I just- has me thirsting every time he is on screen 🥹🫶
And he seems like a genuine down to earth dude!
Love his so much and he inspires me as an aspiring actor and performer!
12:24 Yeah, sometimes, very rarely, some mutants develop "secondary mutations"
Jean Grey (telepathy and telekinesis) and Emma Frost (telepathy and organic diamond form) are the two most known examples
More X-Men Thanks you Congratulations Angelina ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊
You're gonna love "Days of Future Past". Ties the older X-Men with the newer X-Men together quite nicely
Originally and in the comics, Alex/Havok was Scott's brother. *Younger* brother at that.
I saw this in theaters and was a little drunk at the time. As soon as Kevin Bacon showed up on screen I kept shouting, “That’s Kevin Bacon!” One of my friends had to shoosh me.
he is Scott's older brother, in the comics and several show Alex is actually Scott's younger brother
"Poor dramatic Eric! So much has happened to him!" Congrats, you just described Magneto and his backstory in less than ten words.
Other fun fact, in the comics Darwin actually survives and has many adventures.
You absolutely have to watch x men 97... Sooooo good
the oldest mutan in x-men is selene gallio and she's a immortal dark priestest/vampire but they didn't give her any lines the movie
The funny thing is even when she watches all the X-Men movies it still won't be enough to understand most of the references in DP and WV lmaoo
Ange: "eric and Charles have got to be some of the first mutants they are the oldest ones i have seen"
Wolverine, shaw, apocalypse: 👀👀
FYI, British people also pronounce “massage” as “MASS-age.”
Love this movie and love angelina how could this be any better
To get every reference in Deadpool and Wolverine you’ll need to watch all the Fox/Marvel movies
Love ya
Some people watching these movies (who haven't read the comics) mistakenly assume that Charles Xavier can freeze time. He's actually freezing all the people by controlling their minds.
The BEST X-Men film
!1:35 we pronounce it that way because thats how you pronounce that word in english Ange, because that, pheonetically is how you pronounce a word spelled G-A-R-A-G-E. Theres precedent for pronocuning it the letter a in that context either way but thats just how that word is said.
Favorite superhero rpgs:
1. Mutants & Masterminds 3rd edition lets you make any character and powers and devices you could possibly imagine, but there's a ton of math that can be intimidating. They do have basically ready made character archetype packages in the books for a particular level, though.
2. Masks: A New Generation - strong teen titans vibes, easy to make characters who are young superheroes trying to define themselves.
3. The Way of a Hero: a simple and straightforward superhero game.
4. Marvel Multiverse Roleplaying Game - The latest official marvel comics rpg, has a D&D 5e familiar character sheet and an X-men guide book that just came out, but uses three six sided dice. Not sure how I feel about the limits of the powers, though. But they do provide character sheets for major marvel and X-men heroes and villains for players at a variety of levels.
5. The Godsend Agenda: The modern world has been shaped throughout recent history by six kinds of superhumans, three alien and three earthly, some of whom have been acting as gods and monsters and all of whom have the ability to change the world. Options include high tech angels in iron man like armor with energy wings, ancient gods, telepathic metamorphic monsters who transform themselves and adapt to become whatever people expect them to be, highly trained agents who come through in the nick of time, immortal magic using Atlanteans, and essentially mutants whose powers are unstable and eventually explosive.
6. Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game. A fun and quick way of designing a superhero some interesting abilities that change as the situation grows more dire, allowing them to pull out all the stops.
7. Wearing the Cape: The Roleplaying Game: Superheroes have only been a thing for a few years, but the world is changed by their rise. This uses the story-focused Fate Core system, which can be lot of fun.
8. Smallville RPG: A hidden gem, this system let's you design your character's abilities and resources through their history and balances intrepid and plucky mere mortals with Kryptonians, Atlanteans, Magicians, and Metahumans.
9. AMP: Year One (and Year Two, Three, Four, etc): has a very X-men like feel, with people of Accelerated Mutant Potential (colloquially referred to as AMPs) manifesting when one conspiracy falls and can no longer keep them powerless, resulting in different teams and factions forming and conflicts between groups of AMPs, "normal" humans, etc. Later years provide rules for people who keep coming back to life, advanced tech, aliens and magic users as well, but AMPs are at the heart of the story.
10. Deviant: the Renegades. Essentially Wolverine, the game. Or Firestarter. Or the Isle of Doctor Moreau. Players make characters who used to be human but who were experimented on and gained great power but something inside them broke and now they seek payback and vengeance as they try to unravel the mysteries of who did this to them.
Other then D&D the group I grew up with played Champions by Hero Games. We made a chart that converted Marvel's ttrpg Word Based Stats to number for Champions so we could play as our favorite Marvel heroes. Supers RPG seems a pretty solid system. Enjoy.
Hi Angelina. Great reaction! You are always so high energy but also very analytical which is a great combo to have. I agree about the following x men movies not being as good, but days of future past was still really good. Also of course deadpool so don’t kiss those of if you haven’t seen them already. Cheers.
Originally written to be X-men Origins: Magneto but after the lukewarm reception of Origins: Wolverine it was reworked to become First Class
