Beast is conceptually the quintessential x-men character. A hulking feral looking creature who's actually a sensitive and brilliant person. It really needs a better big screen depiction.

[@katanafourzeronine]

Kelsey Grammer's Beast was so fascinating because behind all that makeup and prosthetics and blue, you could see not just a person, but a smart, dignified human being that wasn't just smart, but more than anything, he was HUMAN. I think subsequent versions of Beast have failed at this (outside of animation of course, where he's always given his due, thankfully).

[@user-iz7kc4ql7g]

He's the true best representation of,beyond what's on the surface level ,lays the true character of a well distinguished gentleman,not afraid to fight for what's right,but always willing to talk and be diplomatic It helps that he looks badass

[@hughmilner7013]

This fact also does a lot of worldbuilding, because we never need an explanation for why Beast is very much the public face of mutants. He's inescapably a mutant, but can also overcome that - exactly who you want advocating for mutant rights.

[@CordeliaWagner1999]

Best is peaceful and reasonable. That aren't human qualities.

[@alecbormia4523]

This is just why I love the x men in general. Behind the powers they’re all just people trying to forge their way through the world. All while trying to save the world that turned their back against them.

[@JamesKlass79]

Kelsey grammar played the best Beast but the other actors portrayal dug deeper into his intelligence and his role as an inventor with the team. But agreed on Grammar.

[@dracrorasco4907]

Honestly I’m surprised Kelsey’s never been asked to voice Beast in an animated project he’s proven how great a voice actor he is he could easily reprise his role as Beast in a new animated show

[@chocov1233]

I agree. His voice for Beast is great. Though he hasn't even had the chance to voice him since between 2013 and 2019 we didn't get the X-Men in anything but the 20th Century Fox movies, The Gifted, Legion (series), and the Marvel comic books, and even then it seems that they were downplaying mutants in the books and trying to replace them with Inhumans.

[@timechanger6679]

The reason why Beast can switch between forms is explained in DOFP, Beast explains that he uses enough of the serum to keep himself balanced, while Charles overdoes it and therefore loses his powers(plus during the finale of the film Beast injects himself with like 10 needles of the stuff and turns back to normal and doesn’t get detected by the sentinels, and since he didn’t do that without the serum it means he presumably has to take the serum every time he wants to go back to looking normal

[@rockzen8050]

Yea thats a slack reason its really due to the fact Nick was a huge actor at the time, and they wanted to show his face and pay less on makeup / cgi its just a lame reason and low brow im glad they did explain it tho but still

​@@rockzen8050Nick was also dating J Law who got quite the ego after Hunger Games. Once she decided she didn't want to be in the makeup chair anymore he did the same. So they had to write around characters who EMBRACE their physical mutations because the actors wanted more face time

[@scotia7326]

I always loved the scene where Beast resigns when talking to the President. It’s very quick and could have been removed. But I love his manner of resigning. “What happened on that convoy was inexcusable.” Referring to the “cure” being used in a gun. He’s so steadfast in his beliefs and I love that about him.

[@RandomBlackGamer]

I don't think Hoult's Beast was bad at all. He's actually given a lot to do in the movies. Compared to other X-Men characters who're just there to showcase their powers and show little personality. He's significantly younger than Kelsey's Beast so he's not gonna mirror the traits of his older self. He was still growing. Its also important to note that First Class was a movie that had a very short production deadline. Yet it ended up being 1 of if not the best in the X-Men movie franchise. Matthew Vaughn doesn't get enough credit for it. They literally stole the credit from him when they robbed him of Days of Future Past and gave it to Bryan Singer. A movie that he spent a lot of time writing but was once again rushed out by the studio.

1:27 - Yes. That David Hayter. "Kept you waitin', huh?" - Solid Snake/Old Snake, Iroquois Pliskin, Naked Snake/Big Boss. David Hayter also voiced Captain America in the 1990s Marvel Animated Universe show Spider-Man: The Animated Series and The Winter Soldier/Bucky Barnes in the game Marvel Heroes, he also had a cameo in 20th Century Fox's first X-Men film and wrote a script for a Black Widow movie that he was going to direct too, but sadly it never got made :^(. Now as for the topic of the video, Nicholas Holt could have been amazing as Beast for he is a spectacular actor (similar to Miles Teller in Fant4stic 2015) but it seems that Brian Singer didn't seem to understand that his characterization in X-Men First Class was just how he was when he was a young man and he should have already been more like The Last Stand Beast by the time Days of Future Past takes place.

I always imagine the Beast Nicolas Hoult portrayed was still in his beginnings. He was discovering himself and the change through which he went. He felt awkward and WAS awkward.Grammer's beast was mature and grounded. He knew how to play with his skills and felt, in fact, that he was used to being beast. That's why it seemed natural.

His feet should have been so big he couldn't wear shoes and his hands so large he had issues handling small things like books and pens/pencils. He should have had a LOT more body hair too. All of this would have better gone towards the assumptions he has to deal with that he is unintelligent, particularly from anti-mutant racists. (I felt that other than the bar scene in the first film and the scene in X2 with The Drakes, the films really failed to show regular people being racist and hateful. It was all about the government and nazis, but there wasn't much in the way of the hatred of neighbors and families. The hate that I think would hurt the most on a personal level.) Back to Mr McCoy, seeing him deal with the assumptions of those around him that he's a mindless... well, "beast" as he struggles to prove his intelligence to people who see him only as a monster. Like the narrator of this video, I agree that he DEFINITELY shouldn't have been able to switch from human to blue at will, but I also think they should have waited to make him fuzzy until a later prequel film.

When beast's form was revealed in First Class, i couldn't help but laugh. Mf looks like a dr suess character.

[@VictoryReviews]

The first beast looked better than the new one his makeup looked more odd CGI beast is interesting

[@EclecticBarbie]

couldn’t agree more, Kelsey is beast! Perfect casting.

[@clay_gottschalk]

Nicholas Hoult's Beast was pretty weird and cat-like, but it still looks better then the CGI monstrosity in The Marvels' post-credit scene.

[@balladsnowfox7714]

I mean Beast was in Cat form during that time and looked pretty good depending on artist and let there be more to "I keep becoming more monsterous"

[@ETGamer-yl6dm]

He looks great now honestly, it's the best he's ever looked, in the older films he literally looked as if he had on makeup.

[@alexmason3939]

1:27 Solid Snake admitted that it became lame and then went onenof the most beloved actors in video game history, right after Kickstarting superhero movies as a trend. Fucking legend David.

[@christiandevey3898]

The best part of the casting is that Beast in the 90s X-Men cartoon and Dr. Frasier Crane in Frasier are so similar in characterization.

[@RemyJackson]

Kelsey Grammer was willing to don the make-up again, but it wasn't feasable for such a short scene. He said he would wear the makeup for future appearances

[@FullFatVideos]

That’s even weirder! He’ll look like a different character

[@RemyJackson]

@@FullFatVideos No more so that Bruce Banner between Incredible Hulk and Avengers

[@denditwittard4410]

Solid snake on screen writing

[@knighttakespawn]

The one missed opportunity was that upside-down reading shot. They should have utilized gravity to give him the giant hair wingers (at least for that moment).

[@mikaelamonsterland]

Nicholas Hoult's not even a bad actor and i actually liked him in first class for the first part of it but they just made his character get worse later on in that movie and especially in days of future past which is a movie i can't enjoy because of his, mystique's, and magneto's writing in that movie were all frustrating

[@highdefinition450]

it's dumb that he can change back. the irony adds so much depth to his character imo. in trying to look normal, beast made himself stand out even more, losing the ability to even pass as a normal human. his insecurity and self-hatred made his life even harder. having the ability to look normal kinda removes that aspect i think lol

[@gydeon7135]

I really liked the more lion\cat like appearence

[@MarvNARK]

You know if they were going to have Henry in The Marvels look like how he did, they should have just stuck with the makeup and prosthetics. If they were going to make him CGI, they should have given him a design that required it. Like have him look like a slightly buffer version of his X-Men Evolution self, my favorite look for Beast in his ape form.

[@Hydro0223]

First class explanation about the cure accidentally enhancing the mutation makes sense because if the viral is meant to destroy a systematic aspect the system will either die or advance past the virus.

[@nicktroisi6347]

Kelsey Grammer was an amazing cast for Beast. Glad he returned to in the MCU and hopefully in Secret Wars

[@bet0v966]

Hoult is a good actor but his take lacked that sophistication that wit that charisma that most people associate with Beast

[@Saladman45]

I hope we get a avengers vs x-men movie

[@OldBenKenobi2318]

I’m pretty sure Beast being able to transform into his blue form, even with the serum, is explained. Hank tells Logan that he takes only a little bit of it. While Charles is pretty much straight addicted and takes it non stop. That’s probably why Hank can still control his mutations while Charles can’t.

[@drawingtime-lapses2524]

I think completely honest the district bad thing works for me. You know he’s taking less mean that you can change unlike Xavier he’s taking more which means that you can’t change at this point and it’s really interesting thing and it helps the vibes the film it helps the plant helps characters but I think from then on he should’ve just been blue sword ruins the film. It ruins the message that they gave that .

[@callmev3531]

6:05, The biggest justification for Cat Beast is this more animalistic look kind of pairs well with this earlier Hank on a thematic level. This is the monster Hank sees himself as, and with his continued usages of serums and his growth towards accepting the affects of his mutant condition on his appearance, not only is he able to switch between his bestial and human form at will, but his bestial form also becomes less animalistic, less monstrous. 10:28, Of course, the various continuity issues with this franchise that essentially make each of its post-Last Stand installments their own separate continuities means Nicholas Hoult’s Hank doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with Kelsey Grammer’s Hank beyond Days Of Future Past’s epilogue, meaning attempting to connect his past iterations to the one in Last Stand wouldn’t really work either way.

[@brandonsorensen7216]

Everyone wonders why we get such bad superhero movies. Stop taking random potshots for no reason. If you didn't like movie move on and they won't continue to triple down out of spite. If you just leave it alone, they'll be motivated to make something different. If you keep giving it legs like you all do, why should they stop?

[@theweirdofengland]

What a bizarre comment. If a movie studio decide to “triple down” after receiving negative film criticism then that’s just a bad financial decision on their part. Movies won’t get better just because you stop talking about their flaws.

[@JKevz1]

Kelsey grammer was a *beast* in the last stand.

[@sleepinggorilla]

We dont need 16 minutes to know that it’s Kelsey Grammer.

[@TheGeekChef]

I want Matt Berry to play beast in the MCU

[@pennywisethedancingclown2246]

Can you hear me Clem Fandango!

[@polyestermammoth740]

Loving all of the Xmen vids atm

[@ronsorage78]

There was no way he was going beat Grammer's impeccable work anyway.

[@FullFatVideos]

True!
