Wolverine and Rogue's relationship is the highlight of this film for me

[@ronfehr7899]

Mystique's last act, as senator Kelly, was actually a good thing for the mutants. The senator was the main proponent against them, and Mystique had him denounce his views.

[@KingApeiron]

I mean, isn't that classic Mystique? Take her away from Magneto and she's a decent person...

[@RobbHollen]

12:08 That's Ray Park, who also played Darth Maul in Star Wars Episode I

[@thedoctor4327]

He also played him again in Solo (although Sam Witwer did the voice) and did the motion capture for Maul in Maul and Ahsoka’s duel in The Clone Wars. Outside of Star Wars he played Snake Eyes in GI Joe and the Headless Horseman in Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow (in scenes when Christopher Walken wasn’t playing the Horseman )

Something you might be interested to know is that Stan Lee originally wrote the X-Men as an allegory for the civil rights movement. ETA: Correction, it was actually Chris Claremont who created the X-Men. See the below correction.

[@TheZeroAssassin]

No, that was Chris Claremont, Lee likes to retcon his stuff and take credit for others work

[@newsoulsam3889]

@TheZeroAssassin Oh damn, for real? Thanks for the education! I'll leave my comment as it was originally so it's not confusing when people read your correction.

[@jeromedutil-martin6823]

The Marvel world is a bit weird. Heroes like the Avengers, who've gained powers from unnatural ways (accident, technology, science experiment) are celebrated by the public. But Mutants, who've gained their abilities naturally (through their genes), are hated by humans.

[@corvus1970]

Yup. In the comics, people who have gained their powers through "unnatural" means are often called "mutates," and you are correct: They tend to have broad acceptance, like Captain America, the Fantastic Four, and so on. Some others, however, like Hulk and, to a lesser degree, Spider-Man, tend to be feared or distrusted.

[@gordonduffy476]

I think it the idea "anyone can make it" so I * could* get bitten by a radioactive spider, but I cannot have different genes. Basically I think the distaste for the mutants is based in jealousy

[@znk0r]

The rarely of the first group and the fact they can't pass the powers down explains this.

[@tracyepaul7872]

Even some of the other heroes distrusts the X-Men because they are different.

[@moondog3056]

Weird? It mirrors real life. People hate and fear others just because of their race, gender, where they live, how beautiful they are, and so on. There's always people who aren't accepted for some reason or another

When Magneto controlled the gun to fire at that cop he was also the one who stopped the bullet, that’s why he said “I don’t think I can stop them all.” He was proving his control over his ability and testing Charles to see if he was willing to kill him or let the cops die to get Rogue to safety

[@Shawn_M]

Charles should've made sabertooth take off Magneto's helmet 😂

[@corvus1970]

First off: "France is gonna be really mad to see that Wolverine messed up their present to us." Oh the laugh I just laughed. That was _really_ good. Thank you for that one. "This dude looks like a personified wolf." Despite a significant size advantage, a _lone_ Wolf will tend to shy away from a Wolverine. Wolverines are Mustelids, relatives of Badgers, Skunks, Minks, etc. They are extremely powerful for their size, and ferocious. They can kill prey many times their size, and far larger predators will at times decide that messing with a Wolverine's kill isn't worth the risk.

[@owenlynch7840]

“I want to know what happened to him (Wolverine)”. …..buckle in.

[@godofpencils01]

Fun fact: The scene where Mystique walks out the elevator impersonating Bobby had to be filmed using a very complicated split screen effect. It was not until after they had the shot that actor Shawn Ashmore thought to mention he had an identical twin brother. The crew were not pleased.

[@serinx]

'The Mutant Registration Act' is somewhat similar to 'The Sokovia Accords' from Avengers Civil War.

[@louisfrancisco2171]

An important difference is that for the Sokovia Accords the enhanced individuals had the choice to register or retire. The Mutant Registration Act would make any non-registered mutant an outlaw, even if they don't use their powers.

[@victorbarron-zuniga4564]

That's the first I've heard anyone call Charles Xavier "Megamind" 😆

[@DaveBukowski]

34:45 you may have missed it but Mystic sabotaged Cerebro. Jean Grey found the alteration, removed the "toxic" addition to Cerebro. That is why she was not injured like Charles was. He was affected by the sabotaged equipment. 36:10 in the comics Wolverine is in YELLOW SPANDEX. So that was a poke at the comics. You can also see it in the older X-Men cartoons. Watch these in RELEASE order as you are. Starting with X3 look for post credit scenes.

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

The scene of Magento surrounded by the police was filmed in my city of Hamilton, Ontario. Thats the same location as the bank robbery scene in Umbrella Academy too!

[@sithlordkaeyl21]

In the comics, Wolverine is almost 200 years old, and has fought in every war we’ve ever been involved in, so he was hiding his dog tags because of the memories of the wars he’s been through.

[@silvernova354]

This film is a great introduction to the characters - especially Hugh Jackman's great portrayal of Wolverine.

[@little-wytch]

The way I understand it is that Magneto has metal plates in the soles of his shoes and that's what he moves to make it look like flying. This is going to be a fun journey, I can't wait to see what you think of the other movies.

[@ellehcimbelle]

yeah and sometimes he uses the helmet i think

[@R.I.P.LaerteSatan]

Uh... Guys, Magnetic fields. Magnetic fields is one of his major things in those cases 👀

[@timmooney7528]

Hugh Jackman and Famke Janssen are both taller than James Marsden. Cyclops is taller than Jean and Wolverine in the comics. James had to stand on blocks or a platform when appearing with Famke or Hugh

[@onemanreactionfaction7636]

Fun fact: Ke Huy Quan (Short Round from Indiana Jones, Waymond from Everything Everywhere All At Once) did some of the fight choreography for this. There is a BTS clip online.

[@xiongrey19]

You might have missed an inferance when it came to Wolverine's claws: They said the metal has been grafted to his bones, she did not say the claws were grafted to his hands. The inferrence is he does have claws naturally, just they have metal grafted to them.

[@SGlitz]

Bald Man= Sir Patrick Stewart. Magneto= Sir Ian McKellan.

[@ennuieffect]

Toad is played by martial artist/actor Ray Park, who gave a little Easter egg in his performance when he first fought Storm on Liberty Island… He twirled the pole just like his other most known character in Star Wars: Episode 1, The Phantom Menace, Darth Maul.

[@BRADLEY_1999]

The X-Men are just a better team than the Avengers.

2:50 The Scary Movie you're thinking of (Scary Movie 4), parodies "War Of The Worlds" (2005), which has a similar intro to this movie.

[@DarkKnightBatman420]

The trilogy is a good call Emme. It's not the best interpretation of the comics but I think myself and a lot of people have been unfairly tough on them. Cinepals recently did new reactions on the X-Men movies and it's been nice to see their enthusiasm and takes on it. I've seen a bunch of reactors go in fully blind on X-Men 97 and they get by just fine. The show is self referential, but it also explains whatever it needs to. The original was made in 1992 but it was an adaptation for kids, influenced by network standards of censorship and guidelines. Honestly there was so much going on in the old show that it was a lot to wrap my head around. It was full of unusual things. It was a lot of content too. There was also a 1994 Spider-Man series that I liked even more! It crossed over with the X-Men series at one point. That pilot episode and many after had me going ballistic with enthusiasm and hype. I mostly read Spider-Man comics as a kid and it was like a dream seeing it adapted in a mostly faithful way. I had a hard time deciding which was better. For me I had to have both. They helped build my love for Marvel.

"we're here at the x-men place" -Yes, yes we are. 😂

[@DouglasMac-db2ln]

Hi, huge comic book nerd here. This question almost always comes up when someone reacts to this movie. Magneto controls metal by creating and manipulating magnetic fields. He''s able to "fly" by creating a magnetic field around his body which repels the magnetic field of the earth thus pushing him off the ground. Then by manipulating that magnetic field in exactly the right way he is able to push himself through the air in whatever directing he chooses. It's the same basic concept of how mag lev trains work except the character of Magneto along with many of the other X-Men, was created in 1963 by Stan "The Man" Lee which makes it much more impressive than it sounds since this technology hadn't been invented yet......OH! and Cyclops powers aren't lasers although that is a common belief even amount comic fans. In the early issues of Uncanny X-Men it's explained that what Cyclops has is a force beam. It is a beam of energy that applies tremendous physical force to whatever it hits. So tearing a hole in the roof for example, was more like hitting it with a physical object like a wrecking ball.

[@michaelriddick7116]

I saw this in the theatre back in 2000 and it was fantastic! I was a HUGE comic book nerd and never thought we'd get a actual Xmen movie with real casting :) Cant wait see you reaction! LETS GOOOO!!! 💪😎💪

[@sithlordkaeyl21]

When you do finally get to watching ‘X-Men’97’, don’t compare what’s going on between the two. The movies don’t really have anything to do with the comics, and the original animated series along with this new show are much more accurate to the comic books, so they won’t have anything in common.

[@justahologram2230]

So in some of the comic origins the troops who liberated Magneto fron the concentration camp was a joint task force lead by Captain America and Wolverine(Canadian special forces at the time) resulting in the two of them being the only heroes he really respects

[@Shoofyou10]

The way these characters are portrayed in these original movies are very different than the way they are portrayed in X-Men 97 (and the original X-Men The Animated series). These movies will give you basic understanding of the concepts and characters but some of them are portrayed very differently.

[@cruelangel8689]

And unfortunately in the comics as well. 97 did more justice to the characters than the live action films.

But even then most people will still somewhat understanding that joke just by knowing the X-men wear black leather in the movies. You won’t appreciate it as much maybe without seeing the first movie but most people will get the joke

[@medafan53]

If you're planning on watching X-Men 97, I'd advise watching at least some of X-Men the Animated series, since the former is a revival of the latter and there are, naturally, references to events that had happened through the original run, I'm sure someone could probably put togeather a list of must watch episodes

[@oxhine]

Hey, Emme! The X-Men are Marvel Comics superheroes created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1963. The film rights were sold to 20th-Century Fox studios in the 1990s. Therefore, no other Marvel characters could appear in them when the MCU came into existence later and nothing mutant-related could exist in the MCU. The X-Men movies proved team superhero movies were viable and are the reason we have an MCU and DCEU. One major problem with the franchise is that there was no plan going in to make a coherent saga so there are MANY CONTINUITY ERRORS! Another problem is that there is little FIDELITY to the comics other than surface level stuff and the franchise became a showcase for HUGH JACKMAN's Wolverine as the central focus; the comics are much more ensemble pieces. Wolverine is hugely popular among comic readers but the movies became largely his vehicle. When the franchise was rebooted with a younger cast to clear up continuity and fidelity issues, the only explanation for discrepancies between the two sets of films was that they were taking place in MULTIPLE TIMELINES. Despite the confusion, X-Men films are all very ENTERTAINING including the duds and boast terrific action and INCREDIBLE CASTS. The duality between frenemies Charles and Erik is the core of these films. They are allegorical representatives of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. The action sequences are predicated on coordinating and nullifying powers which laid the foundation for the best superhero fight ever in cinema as it utilizes the same principles: the airport battle in "Captain America: Civil War"! The student who phased through the door when Wolverine first meets Xavier is Katherine "Kitty" Pryde and Rogue's role as Logan's mentee in the film was actually Kitty's role in the comics. Rogue is a flight-capable heavy hitting adult in the comics who acquired those abilities when she permanently absorbed Carol "Captain Marvel" Danvers' powers by maintaining contact too long! That incident stripped Carol of her memories and put her in a coma! Jean stopped the bullet from killing the cop but wasn't pyschically dexterous enough to stop a barrage which is why Charles stood down at the train station. Mutants are born with latent powers that usually manifest at puberty. They are a different species of humanity called HOMO SUPERIOR. Other superheroes acquired their powers in accidents and experiments. Wolverine smelled Mystique's pheromonal scent which differed from Storm's which is how he knew her appearance to be false. He has heightened senses like a predatory animal. The yellow spandex quip directed at Logan by Scott is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Wolverine's comic accurate costume now seen in the "Deadpool & Wolverine" trailer! Every point Senator Kelly made is absolutely valid and it would be ill-considered to dismiss them out of hand. The argument is 100% valid. Would you want your kid to go to school with a kid who could shoot lasers from their eyes or shoot flames from their fingers? I think not. Now that Disney owns the film rights, fans are excited to see Kevin Feige adapt them properly. As always, since these are films based on Marvel Comics, STAN LEE has a cameo in most of them. In "X-Men", he was a hot dog vendor on the beach when Senator Kelly emerges from the surf.

[@Danceofmasks]

Everyone associates the name "Wolverine" with wolves ... a wolverine is a wolverine. They're related to honey badgers. Way more vicious than wolves, they'll fight for almost no reason. Also, they're quite small for such a vicious animal, so the comic book character is supposed to be 5'3 but then they cast Hugh Jackman who's way taller than that.

Welcome to the X-Men. I’d been reading the X-Men comics for nearly 20 years when this movie came out, and it was so exciting to see these characters brought to the big screen so well. Although they rearranged the characters’ backstories to make them fit into one story (eg Bobby was one of the original X-Men, and Rogue had started off as a supervillain) it all came together very well. The scene at the end where a badly wounded Logan chooses to give his healing factor to save Rogue’s life was taken straight from the comics, and it really made me happy to see. Anywho, glad you liked the movie as well. Thanks for sharing your reaction 😊. If you choose to watch more of these, you’ll find that the quality can vary a lot, from excellent to sufficiently entertaining to … well … I personally was disappointed. Also, they’re a lot less concerned with maintaining a cohesive narrative than the Marvel movies. Characters who died in one movie might be alive in the next with no explanation given, for example. Best not to think about it too much..

[@IAmPhoenixXxXx]

Wait till you watch X-men’97!!! You’re gonna love the characters even more!!🙌🏽❤️💛

[@chrisd4228]

It's not explained in the movies, but in the comics at least Cyclops lost the ability to control his power after a head injury as a kid, this is why he requires the special lenses in his sunglasses and visor. His power is potentially strong enough to "punch a hole through a mountain" as it is just raw concussive force in the form of an energy beam.

[@Lillian_Ashcroft]

FYI I love that the writer and director of The X-men movies is a bisexual man because Stan Lee was very clear on multiple occasions that X-men is meant to be a metaphor for social justice for LGBT+ and other sexual minorities and yes racial minorities to a degree but the metaphor based on how the X-gene works is much more obviously applicable to LGBT+ people. And yes wolverine was worried about rogue as a young girl because in the Novel-Version of the first X-men movie Rogue was being held by 3 truckers not just one and yes they had evil lewd intentions toward her but Wolverine saved her. I figure this does not count as spoilers it only relates to Novel-Version of the first film.

So, Marvel was on fire in the early 2000s when it came to 2nd movies. Spider-Man 2, X-Men 2, and Blade 2 are all fantastic movies that improve upon the previous films in multiple ways. Fun backstory about Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine: He didn't know anything about the character, and being Australian, wasn't aware that a wolverine is basically just a badger. So during his audition, he mostly stalked around the room like a wolf, growing and such. But he got the part, so...
