Marvel Meets "MCU" - X-MEN Trilogy

Hello! I made this series a few years ago on TikTok. The idea was to show Marvel comic characters meeting their movie counterparts. This is a collection of characters who premiered in the original X-Men Trilogy
Now, a few notes:
1. I know not all of the jokes hold up anymore. That's okay, a LOT of movies have come out since haha
2. "616" was the term used to refer to the main comic continuity. It is literally the only concise way to state which specific lore I am referencing. I cannot help that the MCU decided to co-opt the number and make these videos more confusing after-the-fact. They did not ask me for counsel.
Anyways, hope you enjoy! If you want to see more I'm @nikhilclayton on TT and I'll be posting Weekly (ideally) longform content here as well! So make sure to like, comment, and subscribe!

The fact that Cyclops gets the Matt Murdock glasses, while Matt gets the freaking Maltesers ones... Comedy gold.

[@dylansharp8471]

Matt gets the what?

[@Ravenqueen22]

Still love X2 Nightcrawler's "well, that sounds like a cult" line, cracks me up 😂

[@lorenzolara1148]

It pretty much is.

[@HiperPivociarz]

616 Wolverine: Not everything is a thing. Well your universe constantly flexes how much more experience you've got and how much of your stuff has like weird origins, it's time to let other universes flex a little.

[@ed752]

The fact I'm unironically using this as a way to catch up with Marvel lore

[@SirsasthNigam.]

Me too with Marvel database

[@francofernandes2006]

The sheer DISAPPOINTMENT in Cyclops' face when meeting his FOX counterpart is aboslutely canon.

[@JabamiLain]

MY disappointment is canon ! I know he can be a bit of a simp and scout boy, but given the right moments, he's like super solid of a character. No wonder he's the leader.

[@francofernandes2006]

@JabamiLain "Every now and then, Summers... I remember why you're still in charge."

[@golesh-ow5dp]

WOLVERINE'S BI?! WOLVERINE'S POLY? HELL YEAH!

[@thesmilyguyguy9799]

Well Its just a Maybe ( But Its a yes )

[@Lopes4911]

Not explicitly but there's definetly some subtext there

[@artcasual99]

Yeah, almost every super close male friend he has, he's got like a homoerotic subtext with, even some that are 1 sided, but not on his part though. Nightcrawler (mutual) Morph (one-sided on Morph's side) Cyclops (I like to believe so) and Deadpool (one-sided on DP's side)

[@Chiales]

He's definitely bi. Remember Herakles?

[@Retro_Red]

That is the least surprising thing about him

[@Retro_Red]

1:51-1:57 Movie Wolverine: That would have been more convenient.

[@Strunmahmah]

so movie Jean/Scott/Logan are all questioning their sexuality now. And Nightcawler is just really confused and concerned XD

[@keigoftw]

Well, they failed to mention that one pannel that one artist slipped into a scene with Nightcrawler & Logan (so alas, he will not be joining them)

[@dylansharp8471]

According to wikis and other sources, the X-Men movie universe is 'Earth-10005' for Pre-DOFP and 'Earth-TRN414' for Post-DOFP (although D&W also called it 10005, though I kinda like to do the Spider-Verse thing and sorta call it 'Earth-10005B'), plus 'Earth-17315' for Logan and 'Earth-41633' for Deadpool 2 (before Wade undid most of the stuff in the credits scene).

[@JabamiLain]

Huh ! I thought "Logan" was the same universe as post-"DoFP". You learn something new every day.

[@name4195]

@JabamiLain It is the same universe, all the Fox X-Men movies take place on Earth-10005. There are just two timelines in that universe.

[@Ealais76]

@name4195nah, cause Logan’s post DOFP life is completely different to the reboot movies timeline. Like Scott is somehow younger in apocalypse despite being born way before the DOFP time travel event. Also it’s unclear if Logan even joins the X-men in the altered timeline considering he’s not in dark pheonix

[@name4195]

@Ealais76 Yeah the casting is weird for Scott since he is 13 in Origins main plot which is in 1979 and 17 in Apocalypse which is in 1983, but it's like almost a running joke that in movies they always cast actors in there 30s to play teenagers. As for if Logan joined the X-Men we know he does. Dark Phoenix is in 1992 and in the original timeline Logan joins in the 2000s. We see him in the X mansion in the end credit scene for Days and in Logan Charles says he found him in a cage fight and that the Statue of Liberty fight happened similar to the original film. Which makes sense since in Days Hank theorizes that time is like a river and any change you make will get undone. Jane still goes Dark Phenix and Mutants still go extinct, it just happens differently. They are canon events in that universe.

[@colewest7096]

And it's Nikhil off the top ropes! Oh my god, he's done it again! Nikhil has won the internet! How many times can this man do it?!

[@Gigantic1000]

Thank you movie Night Crawler for saying it!

[@WebbedManiac]

Did Comic Carol ever get forced into a coma by Rogue? I thought that was just an animated series exclusive thing. As far as I remember, Spider-Woman immediately took Carol to Xavier after Rogue attacked her, where he helped her regain her memories, but couldn't help her with the emotions attached to those memories.

[@nikhilclayton]

She’s in a coma off-panel for a bit before resurfacing as far as I remember

[@WebbedManiac]

@nikhilclayton Oh yeah, that's right. Her main conflict with Carol (in the comics) stemmed from how she took her emotional attachment to her life and gave her lifelong trauma.

[@JabamiLain]

​@@WebbedManiacthat must have been horrible for Carol. To remember her life, but not feel anything for it.

[@name4195]

You should totally do movie Wolverine after Logan meets Old Man Logan. Also, apparently Wolverine got his memories back in the 10-years between Last Stand and The Wolverine, so you could have him mention how Sabretooth is his brother, since that’s one of the big differences between comic and movie Wolverine.

[@SirsasthNigam.]

"Its not Fox X-men movies , its Fox Wolverine movies " - New Rockstars

[@For3st_th3_th3rian]

...rio gonna be pissed when Deadpool and Thanos start fighting over her while Agatha is refusing to die

[@artcasual99]

Surprised you didn't bring up the fact movie Sabertooth is Logan's brother, but they're not related in the comics, unless that's been retconned since I last checked.

[@nikhilclayton]

Its not been retconned i just missed it haha

[@artcasual99]

@@nikhilclayton Damn, happens to the best of us lol

[@colewest7096]

Had to rewatch this, because it's awesome, and I am now curious if there's a part two of it. I'm looking forward to Storm and Magneto talking to themselves. Bobby, too, honestly.

[@JabamiLain]

The title says part 1, so...

[@colewest7096]

​@JabamiLainUhh...No it doesn't? I don't know if there's a different name now than there was when you commented, which can and has happened before, but it currently just says "Marvel Meets "MCU"-X-MEN Trilogy".

[@JabamiLain]

​@@colewest7096it's on the thumbail.

[@ant-man9018]

I choked on my coffee in that cable part 😂

[@JabamiLain]

Edit: Comics Xavier is a full blown psycho. How is that man still considered a hero among mutants ? Glad "Noir" emphasised that part of him.

[@nikhilclayton]

That’s a very overblown panel that went viral on shock sites as clickbait and not really somethin that’s core to his character

[@JabamiLain]

​@@nikhilclaytonoh ! My mistake.

[@guywholikesanimations1018]

I hope we get more Fox marvel Heros meeting their comics version Like the fantastic four blade daredevil Blade Hulk and ect (Wonder if there will be an Comic X-Men meet post days of future past Fox X-Movie)

[@thenew69gaming40]

Great video hope you do more like 616 spider-man meets his TV show hims, FOX X-men meets 616, Ultimate's old and or new meets both 616 and MCU, Ultimate spider-man old and or new meets TV show him's, ect, ect.

[@smashtrivia3273]

May I suggest doing one of these where it's 80s Howard The Duck meets MCU/What If Howard The Duck.

[@RosaGriffin-b1o]

Could you do one based on the young avengers billy maximoff/kaplan America charvez etc. I am a huge fan of those characters and would love to see them in more stuff

[@aizen-b1r]

thanks for the series

[@lucasoliver2571]

THIS VIDEO IS GREAT! I don't use TikTok, how are things going? Is this series still active? Will we have more of the new Marvel things?

[@FootLucy1013]

i would love to see the x men meet their x men evolution counterparts now lol

[@Mr.PlushieGuy]

Hey Dude I Think You Should Bring Back The MCU 616 Meets Marvel 616 Series

[@GuyParson]

is there even any more stuff for him to do?

[@donniehamilton7797]

Already did 90% of the MCU characters. The rest would have too little to talk about.

[@frustotamer6231]

It would cool to add more from the conversation like he did with shang shi, like have iron man talk about him fighting tony and the winter soldier. Have dr strange talk about him fighting wanda and stuff

[@dylansharp8471]

@@GuyParson Tons yes.

[@SirsasthNigam.]

Dude already covered Phase 4 and Disney + Maybe after Born Again and Cap 4 , for Phase 5

[@Mr.PlushieGuy]

You Should Do MCU 616 Watcher Meets Marvel 616 Watcher

[@JabamiLain]

Definitely !

[@nickypool415]

This one is fun. I like it

[@jeromelancashire3278]

1:12 The difference is consent.

[@elcorpus2000]

usually is the movies 'stuff that age poorly but the whole Krakoa thing aged bad including the Poly relation that apparently is not canon anymore

[@Gigantic1000]

So glad the Krakoan mess is over

[@thesmilyguyguy9799]

I liked It

[@JabamiLain]

So far, there are have only been two poly ships I have gotten behind of: -Kaworu x Shinji x Asuka x Rei (but Kaworu x Shinji is still endgame for me), thanks to the fic "Neon Metathesis Evangelion"; -Destiny Trio, thanks to the "Kingdom Hearts" fic "Sea-Change of Fate". Seriously ! The three together are relationship goals ! Why isn't that ship canon !? Why force me choose between SoKai and SoRiku !? One, without the other, sounds too incomplete ! But I just can NOT accept the poly between Wolverine, Jean and Cyclops.

[@doonkeythegreatsullivan9459]

1:50 I’m sorry excuse me😮

[@BadDocter]

Please do this with the avengers from the MCU

[@thesmilyguyguy9799]

He has

That seems like a cult Isn't all religion a cult

[@nikhilclayton]

yeah

[@jeromelancashire3278]

10:57 Why is comic book Professor X standing up?

[@mateushenriquepinheiro3197]

His new body isn't paralyzed, the whole cloning thing and whatnot (that's my understanding of it)

[@SirsasthNigam.]

after House of M , Wanda restored Charles 's legs making him able to walk again & he became more like Maker

[@jeromelancashire3278]

3:59 Does Movie Rogue still steal powers?

[@SirsasthNigam.]

Yep, temporarily

[@jeromelancashire3278]

@SirsasthNigam. So she might have Super strength and flight.

[@SirsasthNigam.]

@@jeromelancashire3278 only temporarily It took comics one nearly killing Carol Danvers to have her powers and personality

[@jeromelancashire3278]

@SirsasthNigam. Yes but movie one might gain those powers temporarily.

[@jeromelancashire3278]

Good luck.

Lets see how Fox ruined X-men and comics ruined X-Men
