This movie kinda bridges one thing people wondered about. It showed that Magneto didn't REALLY care about Mystique, he just cared about her as a mutant. As soon as she endangers mutants, he's willing to kill her, which is why in the older movie, the moment she loses her mutation, he just goes 'you're no longer one of us' and abandons her. He only cares about mutants, and only sees mutants as mutants, he is incapable of just seeing people as people.

I don't think he ever intended to full on genocide the mutants, after all it wasn't even him who went forward with the project it was whoever preceded him after his death, he literally admits he doesn't hate them, he envies them, he isn't Striker, the problem was in his efforts to police and control them, his project ended up being a means to completely eradicate them. Trask isn't a self serving scumbag, the problem with mutants is that the rest of the world is completely at their mercy, the worlds security and fate can depend on a single individuals principles and judgment, Trask was just trying to combat that reality but the ends didn't justify the means.

Thank you for watching the Rogue Cut. I’m so mad her parts were cut out of the theatrical version for two reasons. A) because we miss out on the obvious return of Rogue, B) because it explains how the Sentinels were able to copy mutant powers. I remember watching the theatrical version and understanding that they used Mystique’s power to shape shift, but it made no sense that they were able to steal abilities. Now it makes sense that they were using a blend of both of their powers.

[@timj4885]

remember when mystique transformed into logan in the original movies (cant remember which) and uses his claws but theyre fake bc logan cuts them? i never understood how she did that bc where did the fake claws come from if not an extension of her body? she showed pain but i didnt see any injury/scar afterwards. maybe thats what they leaned on in the theatrical version bc i thought rogue got the cure..unless i understand something wrong (totally possible) lol

[@nthdgree5078]

@@timj4885 Yes, the claws Mystique generated were extensions of her body and she could copy them to some extent, but she couldn't replicate the actual hardness of adamantium, so Logan was able to cut through them and cause her pain. Maybe they should have showed some kind of injury on her knuckles when she changed back, but I won't nitpick the filmmakers for that. The point is, she can't actually copy the powers of another, like Logan's healing ability for example. As for Rogue, it's true she did take the cure in X3, but so did Magneto and he showed by the end of the movie that his power was slowly starting to come back when he moved a metal chess piece the slightest amount. So it's safe to assume that the cure was only temporary or could be overcome with enough effort so it's not shocking that Rogue has her powers back.

[@Valineris_The_Phoenix]

I always loved how Charles' and Raven's relationship was portrayed. There was some deep love there. Also I feel she loved him more, to the point it could've been more than brotherly/sisterly love she felt for him. But he only ever saw her as a sister. That later turned into kind of resentment on her side, and I think it wasn't only because he started liking veing a pet of president too much and being on the covers of magazines. In the First Class you can see it when she says: "I used to think it was gonna be ME AND YOU against the world, Charles, but no matter how bad the world gets, you don't wanna be against it, do you? You wanna be a part of it." Dang, she really loved him.

[@mizrolist]

I'm sure that Raven loved Charles, it was obvious after she changed her eyes in the bar when Charles complimented that other girl. But she was disappointed - and then met Hank, promptly fell in love with him... and Hank blew it hard with his comments about her beauty. These two shaped her into the colder, more purposeful personality we see in the original trilogy and in this film.

[@avocadothecat]

I know it's stupid to think that probably, but after all this time in comics and TV I become more and more convinced that Charles and Erik are the only couple that could work. They already bicker enough to be married. I usually never let headcanon spill over into real canon but those 2 make it hard. And since mutants are already an allegory for minorities like gay people - might as well... It would have been hella weird to have Charles with Raven... and I still shiver at Magneto x Rouge (like wth '97/comics) or even worse: Charles x Jean (comics r wild)

[@botOxymoron]

What I like about Mystique's transformations in this movie is you can tell she's still a novice as far as her espionage and spy skills. Although she can look like anybody, she's still working on ACTING like somebody else. Especially with the soldier disguise in her first appearance and when she was disguised as Trask at his office, there are small tells that make it more obvious the person is Mystique. In the soldier's case, it's a little hard to put to words but between the soft way he speaks and the slightly unsure way he walks in the facility at first, it definitely gave off a vibe that he wasn't really who he seems. And with Trask, Mystique offers the secretary a spontaneous and very sincere compliment on her scarf, which judging by the Secretary's reaction, isn't something Trask would typically do.

[@ericjette2435]

That's a good observation. I'll admit that I didn't notice it when I first saw the movie, but I see it now. When we get to the Deadpool movies, somebody remind me to comment on the similarities and differences between Mystique and Copycat (e.g., Copycat is arguably more powerful, but Mystique is more experienced).

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

The saving Rogue scene was cut from the theatrical version because it didn't serve the main storyline and was an unnecessary detour. Turned out fine without it.

@@ninipookieso we can’t have legit criticism

[@cordite7207]

Eh, I enjoy them for what they are, Jackman doesnt really resemble Wolverine but is good casting none the less, I love both iterations of Professor X and quite a bit else about the movies but that doesnt mean they're perfect or living up to the source material.

[@SamGrant-jm6mz]

​@@ninipookieyep they're not satisfied which is why the X-Men have been bought by marvel which is why everyone is so excited for the X-Men to come in the marvel which is why Deadpool's going to kill the fox universe.

[@lirpa2300]

They will appreciate these X-men movies because the MCU's version of X-men aka Mutants is going to be GARBAGE. It's the Star Wars prequels effect, people appreciated them more after those horrible Disney Stars Wars sequels came out.

[@Jay_EmTea]

When young Charles goes thru Logan’s mind and he sees all the hurt and pain he’s been thru, I always imagine that scene from space balls when Lord Helmet tells them to go past that part and to never play that part again 😂

[@nebulastar9050]

They definitely did Quicksilver far better in the x-men movies than in the MCU. He's the best part of the next movie too.

[@Roqley]

It's funny when he repeats "whiplash". He wasn't being condescending, he genuinely thought he'd said it too fast and slowed himself down.

[@bjmm6142]

He didn't just say: was Oppenheimer a real story?

[@gabrielleroux2333]

Unfortunately he did yes

[@taryngaines8881]

Peter Dinklage has been in a bunch of films and tv shows, earliest one I remember him in was Elf (“call me elf one more time, I dare you!”) and he actually starred with James McAvoy (young Prof. X) in Penelope in late 2000s/early 2010s. Needless to say, this is far from his first film, and as always, he has a spectacular performance. Love your reactions, Alex, keep up the awesome work!!

[@bj0urne]

Dunno if you realized it, but the dude that was tazed in the neck and gave wolverine a "panic attack" 17:40 was actually William Stryker, the dude who will give him the adamantium claws in the future

[@andrewauerbach3441]

As Cliche as it is, Jean Grey. She has immense telepathic and telekinetic powers. Ability to mentally control anyone, read minds, wipe minds, control matter at a molecular level. Near infinite power and potential. Not even counting throwing the Phoenix Force into the mix, she is basically a god without it already.

[@scottredding7357]

This is, easily, the best X-Men movie. It’s so epic, across time. The best Quicksilver sequence.

[@jeknechtphotography7106]

My favorite X Men movie. Every time I watch, I get chills down my spine when they show Jean, Every Time. Also, I was going to comment on the end credit but I don't want to spoil it.

[@s_adalheid]

Every movie Alex got to watch is the best😂 always cheerful like child

[@TimDaco]

Awesome Video!!! I LOVE THIS MOVIE SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! Definitely My Favorite X-Men Movie and One Of My Favorite Comic Book Movies Of All Time!!! The True Ending to The X-Men Movies In My Opinion. Absolute Masterpiece!!!

[@fatalrailgun9972]

Did our man just ask if Oppenheimer was based on a true story? Short answer is yes Alex it is 😂.

[@jordanbyday8823]

As someone who has dabbled in LSD once or twice, the acid line is surprisingly accurate lol

[@TIVOSTUDIOS]

This movie is based in one of the most fantastic story lines from X-men even created, those comics were the inspiration for David Cameron create Terminator , Chris Clamount was a genius writer ( he also created the Phoenix Saga )

[@sabbiss]

this has to be one of my all time favorite movies, the plot, the acting, the pacing it just hits me all in the feels. Especially the meeting between young erik and charles again, the argument too. Truly such good actors while also with sone humor mixed in with Quicksilver and Logan’s lines

[@alexhefnerstvmovievault]

To be fair, I had no idea what Oppenheimer was about at all and I haven’t seen it yet. 😂 • Talk shit about me not knowing if Oppenheimer was real or not on my insta: 😂😂 instagram.com/therealalexhefner?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==

[@SomethingNowhereMan]

LMAO

[@chrisgoodness6531]

Dude I'll talk shit to you right here... YES OPPENHEIMER WAS A REAL PERSON THE MANHATTAN PROJECT WAS REAL YOU DOLT!!!!!

[@tinkinc85]

I'm too Boomer for insta

[@dracomaster4]

I may be one of the few that watches the full length on Patreon, and comes back to watch the KZbin edits. The editor has as much of a personality as Alex does and I love to see both versions.

[@ArtByDesign80]

28:01 “Was Oppenheimer a true story?” LOL…😂🤣😂 YES…the story about the "father of the atomic bomb" is a biographical film based on the 2005 biography ‘American Prometheus’.

[@shahaf1312]

The quicksilver power demonstration (AKA “If I could save time in a bottle) is a cinematic masterpiece. Next is Deadpool LETS GOOO

[@tomkvideo]

The teaser trailer for this movie alone got me so hyped. And it lived up to it.

[@MokuTheMagi]

Blue Mystique comes on to me, 9 months later Nightcrawler is born

[@dallinjohnson7747]

This movie got me thinking about mystiques power, since she can alter her appearance to anybody that means she has total control over her muscles, she can make them as stretchy or dense as possible, so she technically has super human strength and flexibility along with the obvious powers to be anybody down to their DNA. Which also means she can make herself the undisputed fastest person in the world, if we discount other mutant powers. The comic books might say something else about this but it seems like she has a seriously OP power.

[@cyber_rachel7427]

She's able to mimic powers, but never as strong as they really are. For example, she once copied Wolverine's powers, claws and all, but she wasn't able to turn her claws to adamantiun; they weren't as strong, and couldn't cut anything as his can. She's also mimicked her son, Nightcawler, before, but didn't gain his ability to teleport through doing so. The closest thing she's ever done to what you suggest is turning herself into a dog. However, this caused her immense stress and was a form she could only hold for a few minutes

[@bebelestrange84]

29:57 Storm was so much more powerful than any of these movies have ever portrayed.

[@LeonardoKlotz]

Fox's Quicksilver is a much better comic relief than the MCU's Spiderman And more subtle too

[@stevetremblay961]

"He just got 'bub'd" is one of my favorite things.

[@PPinho2711]

So, fun fact, I guess. Peter Dinklage is actually the second actor to interpret Trask in the live action X-Men movies. He actually shows up in X3, interpreted by Bill Duke

[@CuidightheachODuinn]

Not sure what happened in the timelines to make THAT glaring of a change in basically every possible way lol.

[@805StrengthLab]

Bill Duke was the modern Trask from 2006 They didnt mention his first name other than calling him Secretary Trask. You can probably see it as Secretary Trask being a distant relative of Bolivar fron 1970s

[@richardfeynman4452]

22:37 Thats f***ing lamplighter. Haha i have one hell of a time with your videos keep it up.

[@dunringill1747]

This movie is a variation from the comics: The Uncanny X-Men issues #141-142, published in 1981. Written by writer/artist team of Chris Claremont, John Byrne and Terry Austin. Chris Claremont is an exceptional writing talent for Marvel comics. He is also a HUGE reason behind what made the X-Men so popular. Look up what he did for Marvel and you will be blown away.

[@ericjette2435]

I was surprised to learn that the plot for "Days of Future Past" actually came from Byrne, not Claremont (according to Wikipedia).

[@Steve_P_B]

Evan Peters was also a regular cast member in most of the American Horror Story series

[@Baiko]

Peter Dinklage's first more major role in a movie was 12 years before this, in 13 Moons, with Steve Buscemi.

[@mage1439]

Yeah, and a lot of people forget he was in Elf.

[@braedon7127]

Before that he was an angry elf 😌
