Fun fact: in the comics, Wolverine is only 5'3", but Hugh Jackman is an impressive 6'3", so in this first movie, they shot him at odd angles and used camera trickery to make him appear shorter.

[@MegMageReacts]

LOL!! Tall boi!

[@chrisbowers7523]

​@MegMageReacts when wolverine asked if they always wore leather and cyclops said what you think that we would wear? Yellow spandex ? This is a reference to wolverine costume in the comics . All the xmen wear a special spandex like fabric in the comics but leather works too.

[@mrwatermelo50]

its better for the character, cause who would provoke Hugh Jackman ? It just makes more sense when the character is shorter but still beats everyone up. Also his mood would make more sense :^) little stab ... downwards also they throw him as special move which is easier

also no comics were allowed on set because the creators hated comics. no wonder these movies turned out in such a way :p

@@moabman6803 That's why it's an analogy, not a 1 to 1 comparison, and mutants are still a type of human. It's about the reaction humans have towards mutants, and in the real world marginalized people, that is the analogy, not the specifics of their existence.

OMG YES!!! The X-Men mean so much to me, the comics, the adaptations for media. Literally anyone who is marginalized can find inspiration and substance in their allegories. As someone who is queer, the queer allegory has always been so important to me. I'll never forget that in the comics in the 90's some of the writers wanted to do a storyline about the AIDS crisis and when they were told no they did an allegorical story about it. The X-Men are just *really* something special.

[@Blastback8]

To answer a few questions in the comics, Mutants are often referred to as Homo Superior. Also, Logan has several powers, healing as well as enhanced senses so he can recognize people's scent. Also, the end credits scenes started with X3.

That moment is interesting. X-Men the Animated Series had been out for a while before this movie and those kids were brought on without knowing the project they were extras in. The kids were huge fans of the X-Men cartoon, knew exactly that James Marsden was Cyclops and they all couldn’t stop smiling in excitement.

[@glennwelsh9784]

The cage fight in which we meet Logan/Wolverine is not a fight between two mutants. Logan was keeping his mutant powers a secret, so he was kinda cheating. That's why the guy he beat tried to stab him at the bar afterwards. He suspected that Logan was a mutant and felt cheated out of his winnings, and that's why the bartender called Logan a "freak." He didn't know that Logan was a mutant either.

[@williamozier918]

100% THIS

[@keeneym]

I had forgotten how great this movie was. I watched this in middle school and all I remembered was the melting senator and having a crush on Mystique

[@cmrobbins88]

The X-Men comics were created in 1963 to reflect the times of prejudice and racism and the fight against it. Charles and Magneto reflect the two head of that fight. Charles believes passive protest and emotional connection to achieve unity, never retaliating with hatred. Magneto has some similar philosophies of those like Malcolm X, “push me and I will push back”. Protecting his own kind against the threat of evil [humanity] by whatever means.

[@nathancruz9172]

That makes sense.

[@predatoryzzx]

Stan Lee came up with mutants so he wouldn't have to explain how each character got their powers. The social commentary started more during the Claremont era. Whereas the mutants became a metaphor for anyone that feels like a outcast from society, and there was commentary about race on the side. Magneto originally had no motivations other than he's just evil pretty much.

[@John-kc4cg]

Not true, Stan created mutants so he didn't need to give every character an origin story, Magneto was a one note villain and most humans respect and even idolise the x men. Chris Claremont later adds the anti mutant bias but it was based on the Holocaust, with magneto being based on an Israeli prime minister who was a terrorist in 1944 but won the nobel peace prize 30 years later. He specifically said that the deaths of both MLK and Malcolm X were too recent to base characters on them.

[@herbox]

x-men is one of the biggest part of marvel, up until the avengers movies came out, this team AND fantastic four were the biggest teams in the comics. The basic x-men comics throughout the decades evolved into countless comic titles, so it isn't just x-men but x-force, x-factor, wolverine, new mutants, hellions, generation x, ETC ETC, the number of comic titles focusing on mutants/x-men characters are possibly even in the hundreds. The movies get a lot of things wrong, mostly the characters, their personality, who they are, because that is the x-men. While the avengers comics mostly focused on just teamwork, superhero stuff, stopping large threats, the x-men mostly focuses on characters, acceptance, co-existence and representation. While the movies got a lot of these things wrong, because the studio mainly focused just on the variety of the powers and putting in big actors, every x-men animated series PERFECTLY adapts the comics, the character's personalities and the family that the x-men are.

[@passionsquietrage]

Wolverine has enhanced senses as well as superhearing, he basically has a canine level sense of smell. That's why he was able to figure out that it was Mystique disguised as Storm and not actually Storm. Also, Cyclops' line about yellow spandex was a nod to the iconic costume Wolverine wears in the comics.

[@rogertemple7193]

X Men was number #1 thank you Meg.💞📺📺💞

[@AfroBoyOdyssey]

Simple way to think about the two sides of the argument. Magneto- Malcolm X, Xiaver- Martin Luther King Jr. As the comics developed, writers began to model them after these two because they both wanted what was best for their people, but believed in different ways of achieving that goal. Xiaver is an idealist who believes in humanity's ability for good and acceptance, while Magneto is a realist who experienced the worst of humanity.

[@nightwingman666]

A 24 year old movie with themes that still hold up well today. Xavier and Magneto are very different than typical heroes and villains they both want their kind to live and prosper but go about it on completely different ways. Xavier wants co-existence between mutants and humans he is the optimist the idealist. Magneto is the jaded cynic he only sees survivor through show of strength and if mutants survive he will gladly wipe out the humans for it. Their ideologies also extend to their respective teams. The X-men are Xavier’s children his family and they work as a team. Contrasts with the Brotherhood who only seek yo follow Magneto’s will even the way they fight the X-men fight together against one of Magneto’s underlings. Yeah Wolverine was the star despite the movie being an ensemble. Funny thing Hugh Jackman was not considered the main pick for the role since at the time he wasn’t physically fit but now its hard to think anyone else could be Wolverine. Back then when I first saw this movie I didn’t think much of Cyclops but now knowing what I know as a comic fan they really did Scott dirty.

[@CrownlessKing88]

He knew it was Mystique because he also has very heightened senses. He could smell it wasn’t her.

[@predatoryzzx]

Fun fact: Bryan Singer said that the movie wouldn't have been made if not for the success of X-Men The Animated Series (1992-1997)!

If you think Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique was hot wait till you see Rebecca Romijn.

[@LovelessDogg1]

Jennifer Lawrence actively refused to wear the make up for her transformation which is funny because it's the exact opposite of how her character is supposed to be proud to be a mutant. It's even funnier because Rebecca Stamos, who played her in the original movies, loved the make up and was always willing to show it off whenever possible so by default she's a better Mystique than Jennifer.

Chris Claremont is the Godfather of X-Men and someone worth checking out. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby may have created the X-Men, but Claremont is who made them what we love today. He wrote the series from 1975 to 1991. He gave Magneto his Jewish Holocaust backstory and gave us the history of Xavier and Magneto being former friends. He created Rogue, Gambit, Kitty Pryde and many many more! There is an awesome Documentary on him on KZbin. I think it's called Claremont's X-MEN. I highly highly highly recommend checking it out!

These "Children of The Atom", created by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby. Currently it's the 60th Anniversary. At the time, X-Men was the no.1 superhero team/comic book series. But the success would 'evolve' even further with becoming Marvel's 2nd franchise on film. The original longest running, shared universe with it's first major, superhero team. Although they were around for over 30 years at this point, their meteoric rise through multimedia made them unstoppable (animated series, toys video games, etc). From their further rising, came this 'ultimate' first installment. Hyper-realistic with social commentary and a few other things in between without being a overly 'comic-book' movie. The late Richard Donner and his wife, Lauren-Shuler Donner were executive producers (The Donners' Company) of the film series. Great cast, good writing, bold direction and treatment of the characters. Patrick Stewart as Professor X and Hugh Jackman (his film debut) as Wolverine would become seminal to this saga. Over 20 years on film and most of it succeeded more than failed. If you wish to journey onward, prepare for a real evolution.

[@anonymes2884]

So when the X-Men were created it was the height of the civil rights movement in the US and many saw them as a metaphor for racial prejudice. Then 35+ years later Sir Ian McKellen saw them as a metaphor for anti-LGBTQ+ prejudice.That's the power of the concept - mutants can be _any_ "other" and so, cuz humans gonna hume, they're kind of eternally relevant.

Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were originally mutants and children of Magneto, but when Marvel lost the rights to Fox they were changed for MCU synergy. That’s why in the MCU Wanda and Pietro were never called Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, and that’s why both volunteered to undergo genetic experimentation for their powers.

In the comics "Homo sapiens" refers to regular humans, while mutants are sometimes referred to (usually by people like Magneto) as "Homo superior".

[@LinsteadDM]

For me I found X-Men through the comics in the 80s, they were my first real comic book love. I think generally their villains are better than the average Avenger villain because so often they have a reason for doing what they are doing and it is almost never about money. (that does not mean their are not bad ones because comics but there are so many more interesting ones. Magneto hates humanity driven by the holocaust, and so he is a compelling person because his whole concept is to protect Mutants against Humanity "by any means necessary" He is not some rich guy just wanting to gain more money or power. The fact that he is the flip side of Charles in opinion makes him stand out even more. I also like the story of the X-Men, a group based on fighting against discrimination and hatred by saving those that despise them which they have to do in order to be heroes. They have always been very interesting. X-Men series is a complicated one with ups and downs but some of them are my favourite super hero movies.

[@kriitikko]

The movie is a good way to introduce the concept of X-Men. That said it only introduces the BASIC concept of it. All the movies take liberties with the source material. If you actually want to watch a comic accurate take then the 1990s animated series is still the best one.

[@Fulcrum00]

I do believe this was my first comic book film I ever watched. And it feels appropriate, since X-Men are without a doubt the best of Marvel.

[@richardb6260]

In the comics, while humans are homo sapiens, mutants are considered homo superior.

[@op66op]

That tod character actor also acted darth Maul on star wars.

[@silentsparrow9807]

Mutations are mostly random, but their are some cases where there is a certain mutations that can runs through a bloodline that can be similar in nature or evolve through generations, or I some cases a power can be directly passed down. Like in the comics, Cyclops has 2 younger brothers that also have energy based abilities. Cyclops has concussive optic blasts, Havok can emit energy waves of plasma from his body, and Vulcan, the youngest brother can manipulate, control and absorb vast amounts of energy.

[@user-ui4hh7eo8z]

Wolverine can know its mystique because his mutation idnt just healing and claws his senses are elevated to an animalistic level which adds to his animal furiosity and theme

I highly recommend the new X-men animated series. It is a continuation of the 90s cartoon, but you don't need to watch it to understand.

[@richwagener]

For many years X-men was the #1 comic in the US, certainly outselling the Avengers.

[@canceltheapocalypse8190]

The themes of X-Men are as relevant today as they were in the 60s when the comic first came out. The sequel to this movie is even better, then it's hit or miss the rest of the way with this franchise--but definitely worth the watch. If you want to know what happened to Eric immediately after he bent the gate, wait for FIRST CLASS. Enjoy!

[@shawnkroll3950]

Great reaction Meg. Glad you enjoyed it. Hugh Jackman did amazing in the role of Logan. Wolverine is older than Charles. He fought in several wars in history...he is solider. As a fellow veteran myself. I can understand Logan's views pretty well. Logan saw the horrors of war and after he was implanted with adamantine metal...the government viewed him as a weapon of war. He always felt this burden as soldiers often do, but even though he feels like all he is viewed like is a weapon. Charles helps him see that he is man to and deserves to be happy and needs to remember his past. Logan has a moral compass and is a man of principle and does his best to protect people as he was as solider. This is what makes Logan a hero and X-Men even though he is more of loner. Because realistically who can understand everything Logan really has gone through as he lived many lifetimes. If you get the chance Meg you can watch them all but honestly if you want more on Logan...Watch the movie Logan. It is amazing movie.

I’m so mad I missed this on Patreon, glad I got it now. Recommend checking out X-Men either on Marvel Unlimited or in Epic Collections if you want to read more. And if you missed the analogy, think of it this way - think of the mutant cause as civil rights in the 1960s. Magneto’s point of view is analogous to Malcom X, Charles’s is analogous to Martin Luther King Jr. Just depends on your perspective who is right - aggressive resistance or passive resistance.

I'm glad you enjoyed this movie! It's a great introduction to newcomers and sets up the general premise of the X-Men. It's not perfect, but it works! I also highly recommend two animated shows for you if you're interested. One is "X-Men: The Animated Series" from the 90s. The recent X-Men '97 is actually a continuation from it! And the second is "X-Men: Evolution" which I think you would like! Basically Charles, Storm, and Logan are the only adults. Everyone else are teenagers and it shows them having to juggle being X-Men while also dealing with teenage issues and trying to fit in with normal kids. It was my first introduction to the X-Men and it's really good!

Wolverine and the x-men too! :)

The old x-men movies are fun but with the new animated x-men 97 series it kinda shows how much the movies didn't do justice to all these characters outside magneto, Prof X and Wolverine. Everyone other than these 3 got shafted

Interestingly, Rogue's struggled for a very long time with her powers but, and i might be misremembering, i believe at one point it was confirmed that her powers activating and sending that boy into a coma during their kiss traumatized her and her subconscious put her powers into "always on" mode to prevent it from happening again. Once that became clear, Xavier (?) Helped her process and deal with the trauma which allowed her to not only turn her powers off but begin learning control, such as only borrowing a mutant's powers without draining life force etc.

Idk if this has already been mentioned but the guy that wrote the screenplay for this movie also played Snake in a majority of the Metal Gear Solid video games

Howdy- I had a feeling you’d love this. These fox xmen films are a great primer and they keep true to each character’s power sets and *some* of their individual lore. (Cyclops is actually a great character in the comics! And Jean and storm aren’t background characters! ) But the reboot to the 90’s animated series is called xmen 97 - it came out this year, and is absolutely Incredible and I’m POSITIVE you’ll love it-and it’s so so faithful to the big bold storylines from the xmen comics that these movies kinda fumbled thru without nearly as much fun. Excited that you’re enjoying this world

I’ve read somewhere that Xavier/Magneto dynamic was based on MLK/Malcom X

42:02 he has hyper senses , he was able to "smell" that it was Mystique

The traumatic surgery on Logan only coated his skeleton with Adamantium, which means that he had bone claws before his Adamantium claws.

In Marvel, Mutants are derived from genetic mutations, Mutates are humans that are altered by other factors. Also, you mentioned that Scarlet Witch is a mutant, but that is something that is different from the comics to the MCU. At this point in the MCU the explanation for Scarlet Witch's powers is that she was altered by the Mind Stone. Its possible they could reveal in a future movies that she is also a mutant, but we'll have to wait and see.

The actress who plays Jean Grey said that Dark Phoenix outfit was her favorite from the X-men: Last Stand.
