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.

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.

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

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

[@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.

The problem with the X-Men transferring to the MCU tho is that god forbidden scene in Multiverse of Madness where Scarlet Witch no diffs the illuminati.

Yeah it was done to make Scarlet Witch look unstoppable but when none of those characters had any presence before that scene it's all we have and our first memory will be them getting shit on.

[@AustynSN]

I don't think the actor they got for young beast was even the right body shape. I always imagined pre-blue Beast as far stockier. They also failed to really convey the size of his feet, much less his hands. 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.

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.

The problem is that the prequel interpretation of beast was just a werewolf who could perform flashy violence; and in the original X MEN trilogy, the "mutant rights" issue (which is really just a blatant metaphor for civil and human rights) had a huge presence in the story, and Beast was an important part and character in addressing this issue. Prequel Beast is just another example in modern movie making of spectacle and eye candy being favored over a real message

[@wpp7562]

Another great video, but just to clarify the DOFP topic of why Beast can transform into either form without extra medicine is he does say to Wolverine that he takes enough to keep him balanced but Charles takes too much. And he says this while we watch Charles shoot himself up with the syringe of the medicine like an addict. So, that is why Hoult can transform from blue beast to his human form and back again. And when he needed to transform back immediately when being targeted by one of the Sentinels in the end, he shoots himself up with like 6 syringes for immediate effect. Other than that small point, again, great video!

5:56 This always stood out. Just designing a plane doesn’t mean you can fly it, similarly to knowing how to create guns won’t make you proficient in firearm combat.

[@kevenG35]

This is perfect do mystic next pls

[@dylanrinker6831]

Dont expect the xmen team to cameo in deadpool 3, the director said to lower expectations.

[@lestat23l]

Him being in human form is supposed to be technology that creates an illusion to make him look human, this is from the comics

[@GODCONVOYPRIME]

Aw come on don't knock on Worf dude, don't be like that.

[@greendiamond2604]

I think a cool theory would be that dark cerebro sorta made the change permanent but he could swap in and out beforehand up to that point.

[@Patrick-wl6pw]

Best done arc done x-men days

[@fashionablechangeling1988]

Nice bit of rage bait you did there by putting Kelsey Grammer front and centre in the thumbnail

[@michealmahmoud6391]

Beast could work in a younger form (Children of the Atom, All New X-Men and X-Campus). A jock who is also a Shakespeare poetic level intellect and very charming but thinking he’s smarter than he really is instead of just nerdy, lovestricken dude obsessed with Raven. But Kelsey Grammar Beast was perfect and couldn’t be matched

[@henrygarcia39]

I agree with what you said here, I’ve been saying this to my brother. But I’m not so sure if I agree with your Sabretooth video.

[@thedestroyer2alltrolls411]

Yeah, I completely disagree with him on Sabretooth. Tyler Mane was far better and more comic-accurate than Liev Schreiber. Liev Schreiber lacked the size and intimidation.

[@jaehurd3524]

This is the first I've even heard that Beast was in the marvels

[@chrisdouglas1158]

A beast focused movie should be him as a villain, dark beast was nasty and would be so good

[@FullFatVideos]

I would like to see dark beast

[@mattirzzmattimuss]

Kelsey Grammer was the perfect Hank McCoy\Beast.

[@SebastianSeanCrow]

13:41 CGI beast is the stuff of my nightmares

[@batbully]

ngl i love Kelsey Grammer's take but tbh none of the beast versions looked great imo. Until i saw the marvels wow wow wow wow + with Kelsey Grammer's voice, definitely is and will be THE reference for beast in live action for so many years.

[@jdruze7]

Hoult’s “Feline” Beast is as by far and away the best cinematic BEAST. Followed then by the new Kelsey voiced CGI, then Kelsey in the flesh, followed lastly by NON “feline” Hoult Beast. If I remember correctly Matthew Vaughn intended for First Class to be a relaunch and when he didn’t return for the sequel (he was able to make his co-creation the Kingsman) they brought Bryan Dinger back and he made Days of Future past to shoe-horn them together.

[@PatrickPrejusa]

THE CG LOOKS GREAT IN THE POT MARVELS SCENE I FEEL.

[@LukeLovesRose]

You need your eyes checked

[@cacography]

hoult just didn't have hank energy. young hank was a football star as well as a nerd. he was the smart, good-natured one of the original crew. first class gave him a completely different role in the group. i think he could work really well if he's brought to the school with the right combination of characters. when they decided he'd crush on mystique the whole time, they distorted his whole personality, making him needy and self loathing to balance raven becoming more proud of being a visible mutant and more drawn to magneto

[@CorbinLeonard-rp4et]

About for the younger beast he make jokes

[@TheCzemerda]

If anyone else is a metal gear solid nerd like me and was wondering, when he mentions the screenwriter for the X-men movie being “David Hayter” he is in fact talking about the same David Hayter who did the voice of solid snake in almost every American version of the metal gear solid games. As soon as I heard the name I instantly went to google to find out if it was the same guy.

[@SonovaBish]

Comics Beast didn't look like Kelsey when he first transformed in the 1970s. Kelsey is based on the Jim Lee version from 1992.

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

I thought you were gonna do a video on X-Men days of future past

[@irksam7752]
