X-MEN 3 (2006) BREAKDOWN! Easter Eggs & Details You Missed | X-Men Rewatch

[@Burpees73]

Magneto telling Pyro professor Xavier did more did more for mutants then he will ever know. Is one of my favorite moments ever.

[@jairmorales2017]

It is! The respect between them

[@ShavayD]

Honestly. Magneto is my favourite character from the franchise. He opposes Charles but respects him

[@supersaiyanbino]

Agreed! I said this same thing in the previous video...Shows even though their methods were different, he respected Charles and was in so many words a "friend" and then Logan hitting him with the "You let him die.." and his reaction was a good one too

[@mageeaaron2624]

Agreed! It shows that even though they were adversaries, they still have huge respect for each other! 🙏🏽💪

[@rsencion]

mine too.

[@TheDrexLord]

I would like to point out that this is the only xmen movie with all of the og members, prof x, cyclops, Jean grey, beast, iceman and angel, also fighting magneto

[@nicktroisi6347]

Holy shit I didn’t even notice that. One thing I want to see is all the og members in the MCU X-Men Roster

[@ninjaballgaming]

Yeah and they killed two of them off before they could even team up together. Such a dumb movie with such wasted potential.

[@AlphaProto]

35:17 In the X3 commentary they say that the comatose patient in the bed was Xavier's twin brother who was born a vegetable. They got the idea after learning Xavier had a twin sister. So they just changed the sister into a brother so he could look the same after he transferred his mind. They never mention it in the actual movies. Just the commentary.

[@bobdole4093]

Also touches on his classroom talk about the ethics of transferring the consciousness of a terminally ill person into the body of a comatose patient, from the first movie

[@RandomAct]

I'm always a little surprised at how almost no one remembers that the Juggernaut line is probably the first time that an internet meme made it's way into a major production.

What I think the best line in the movie is where the omega mutant asks magneto if you’re a mutant then where are your marks?. And he calls back to his prisoner of war tattoo and says no needle shall touch my skin again. Such a powerful scene

[@coldfire22]

The alternate scene where Logan originally says no to the younger students joining the final fight is SO much better and fitting. He reluctantly agrees. Logan wouldn’t want to bring kids to the fight. Pretty shitty decision by Ratner. One of many sadly.

[@PeverellTheThird]

They're not kids anymore

[@emanueljackson1728]

If I remember correctly, on the DVD commentary Ratner said he did want that take to be included in the film, but the studio wanted the take that's in the final cut. I agree the alternate scene should have been the one used, it never felt right with Wolverine acting like Cyclops.

[@marcusyates3044]

If the MCU makes their own Phoenix movie, best hope that the Hellfire Club are the main villains; they're the reason Jean Grey became the Dark Phoenix

[@lexramstudios1386]

Still difficult to do a Dark Phoenix movie right but they could try

[@somerandomharrypotterfan]

So Phoenix is NOT a hard storyline to adapt. But that really depends on a lot of 'build up'.. In the comics, there was a build up and you knew/loved Jean, then you had some time with Phoenix for a while, BEFORE it went Dark Phoenix. The X-men in the 90's did an AMAZING job of the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix.

[@mattduncil]

Since Hank McCoy accidentally further muted himself by using the cure, dose that mean that there is a possibility that the cure could be used if reformulated to further unlock mutations in other mutants. A more evolved mutation.

[@ked49]

[@LONPISTOLPACKINPEEZY]

Deadpool’s injection

[@Zombiesnyder13]

AVI ARAD worked on the first movies as executive producer But for the 3rd movie, he decided to step in as the main producer That's why we got a movie done by a director with no passion, and a limited story overstuffed with characters, just so he could sell more toys That's why KRAVEN THE HUNTER and VENOM 3 will suffer the same fate

[@nategar412]

Apparently it wasn't just some patient that Xavier transferred his consciousness into. It was his twin brother who spent his life being brain dead.

[@yahozak]

And so here's a possible connection back to Star Trek TNG Nemesis where they created an opportunity for Data to come back from being destroyed, having transferring his memories into B4. Which movie came 1st? I can't recall.

[@jorgej.cruzhernandez9247]

The twin brother thing is bs. Do you all realise that Charles can make folks see whatever he wants. He might be making everyone see him as they remembered him? 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@John-Doe-Yo]

​@@jorgej.cruzhernandez9247 I thought one of the writers confirmed that? Either way its comic shenanigans.

[@pillar81]

I've always maintained that as well. It seems kinda obvious, yet somehow people can't wrap their heads around the brain-dead twin aspect. Also, the movie novelization has the patient's name being P. Xavier

[@Formallyknownashandle]

[@haggardo]

It should be a drinking game at this point

[@NobodyNowhere888]

I always thought the golden gate scene was magneto flexing and using it as an intimidation tactic. If they came up on boats seems like stealth tactics showing they are hiding but the bridge is showing they are no longer afraid to hide their mutations.

[@drhulk99]

32:48 the “I’m the Juggernaut…” line is a reference to a viral video of a dubbed episode of TAS where Juggernaut kept repeating that.

[@joffreybaratheon4904]

That line has become a meme

[@olhomy]

Disappointed that this wasn’t noted upon in this video.

[@dihboas]

Although this movie is considered bad I have to say Famke Janssen, Rebecca Romijn, Sir Ian and Sir Patrick gave ACTING SKILLS honey, so good seeing them so at ease with their characters and I hope to see all of them in Secret Wars specially Rebecca as a fully realized Mystique with the white outfit and everything, it would be so dope

[@pillar81]

The performances were definitely the highlight of that film.

In my vision of the movie they walk thru every single film and mock them hahaha. Deadpool being like "how did they get away with these effects" would kill me

[@Dewald]

25:00 I'm going to do an, um, actually, here. In the 90s cartoon, Magneto's helmet blocks psychic powers.

[@saiyantwan]

couple things. for 1, the character of Spyke was created for the cartoon x-men evolution before he was introduced in the comics and he was Storm's nephew. Also the Juggernaut line came from a meme back then from a group that became youtubers called my way entertainment.

[@jcup77]

Thank you for the juggernaut catch! I came here to say that too

[@vshazam]

They're different characters. Evolution is Spyke/Evan Daniels. In the comics and The Last Stand it's Spike/Darian Elliot.

[@saiyantwan]

@@vshazam yes and no. Darian is a redesign/ reworked version of Evan. Evan came out a full year before Darian. Technically Evan is a reworked Marrow but the creator claims he had no clue of the character

[@stormhawkdude]

I know everyone may not like this one, but it's my favorite of the 2000's X-Men trilogy. It wasn't the cleanest depiction of the Phoenix Force but it was a very good movie with some sick cinematography and action in the finale

[@agentofchaos7456]

It technically wasn't the Phoenix Force. It was an evil split personality, not a cosmic force.

[@mr.iiconic]

This movie is an awful depiction of everything other than Logan and Beast.

[@KoolKeithProductions]

​@@agentofchaos7456Nobody in the movie said the phoenix was "evil". It never attacked anyone who didn't attack it, or pose a threat to it first

33:02 Omega level in the comics is just _complete_ control over your powers and are only actively limited only by what your physical body can take. So He _could_ have perfect control and be able to self-detonate at will... that _might_ be enough to classify him up there.

At the end of X3, Magneto is in a park, playing Chess... why?! Why isn't he locked away in some kind of Maximum Security Prison? He just raided and was the cause of several deaths. On top of destroying a huge city structure. Or did the government just decide since he didn't have his powers anymore that he was no longer a threat? He'd still be considered a terrorist. Powers or not, he would still be dangerous, but they just let him go free?!

In the movie novelization, Moira's patient is revealed to be a "P. Xavier", Charles' twin brother who was born brain-dead because Chuck unconsciously drained all his psychic energy while in the womb.
