X-Men: Origins Wolverine | Hugh Jackman Is Amazing | Movie Reaction

Gambit can turn objects into pure kinetic energy. He uses cards because it's a source of 52 objects he can use as weapons that are easy to carry around.

They really lost out on a great opportunity to use a great character, but this is what we got… it’s always been said the X-Men franchises walked so the Avengers could run.

And for those that don’t know, Channing Tatum tried for years to get Gambit going, even to speaking classes to get the accent down because he wanted to play the character… but… naturally the studio drama has slowed it to a stop.

Wolverine has super acute senses of sight, hearing, and smell. They mostly focus on the sense of smell. In the comics, he tracks down a dude who wronged him, on the same day of each year and cuts off a body part of his. The guy trys everything to hide from Wolverine, but he finds him every year, on the same day. As for running, Wolverine has peak athletic speed. But because of his regenerative capabilities, he can run full out for hours. It's said he can fight full force for 24hrs straight before starting to get tired.

The two most common ones people came across were Stryker walking until he bleeds, or Wade's head waking up. The third scene sees Logan in a Japanese bar where he's "drinking to remember", the Japanese setting being a tease for future movie plans.

Wolverine is actually quite heavy because of the adamantium coating his bones. He has adapted to carrying the extra weight and that's why he has low level superhuman strength, comparable to that of a supersoldier.

[@comicnerd1186]

I don't think he has low superhuman strength, I'm pretty sure he can beat Captain America very easily.

[@Tomcat088]

As I’m sure you’ve heard, this movie is usually considered one of the worst Wolverine movies because it’s so far from actual canon for his origin story. This was during the Fox era and they couldn’t use many of the marvel characters that they didn’t own rights to. It was also long suspected that Victor (Sabertooth) and Wolverine were brothers or father and son, but later canon goes much more in depth to this and it’s not what everyone always thinks. They really messed up the Deadpool character, and you should totally watch all of the after credits (make sure it’s all of them) for Deadpool 2. Hugh Jackman was 100% dedicated to this role. In the commentary after of the first Trilogy, Hugh talks about not knowing anything about Wolverine. When they cast him one of the conditions was that he had to read every Wolverine comic written (they provided them). They also said that if he screwed this up, he would probably NEVER get another role in an American movie because of how loved the character is. Hugh said after he read the comic books he would have done the next 2 movies for free (they did pay him) because the character was that cool. Hugh Jackman NEVER stopped his diet and workout regiment and was usually easily within movie role fitness for almost 20 years. It was taxing him a lot, and that was one of the reasons that he didn’t think he could continue to uphold the fitness for the role and do it justice. Ryan Reynolds had been asking him for years to come back, and so with the continuity possibilities after Disney became involved (also problems), Hugh agreed to do another. Victor calls him Jimmy because it’s a nickname for James, a.k.a. James Howlett. Nobody else had been alive during that time period and they usually ended up going by aliases, like Logan. You were dressed 100% appropriately. I love that you enjoy these movies and are digging in.

[@ChrisReise]

33:30 Fun fact: The drug name, Hydrochlorothiazide was used because it sounds cool. Hydrochlorothiazide is a medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat hypertension and peripheral edema. It does not slow your heart rate enough to make you appear dead.

[@reactswithjax]

Gotta love the medical inaccuracy of movies! 😂

[@ChrisReise]

@@reactswithjax LOL

[@5stardave]

Well that is on humans. However, we don't know its effect on mutants.

[@richardb6260]

In the early X-Men comics, Stan Lee described the eye beams of Cyclops as generating force, but not heat. So he can knock someone back but not burn them. The extra dimension stuff must have come later. (There was a back-up feature in the early X-Men comics that explained all of their powers)

[@Logan_Baron]

Yeah, they came to say it came from another dimension for the very reason that they generate force. That amount of force would equal kick back, knocking his head back each time. Saying they come from another dimension means that the exerting force would be in the other dimension, and thus no kick back in his head.

[@passionsquietrage]

It's a stupid retcon imo. They should have just stuck with the beams of energy and said that he's able to withstand the kick back.

[@actioninmyphannypack]

Cyclops possesses the mutant ability to project a powerful beam of concussive, ruby-colored force from his eyes. Cyclops' powers come from ambient energies, such as solar radiation, photons, and cosmic rays, absorbed and metabolized by his body into concussive blasts that are released from his eyes. Cyclops' mind has a particular psionic field that is attuned to the forces that maintain the apertures that have taken the place of his eyes. Because his mind's psionic field envelops his body, it automatically shunts the other-dimensional particles back into their point of origin when they collide with his body. Thus, his body is protected from the effects of the particles and even the thin membrane of his eyelids is sufficient to block the emission of energy. The synthetic ruby quartz crystal used to fashion the lenses of his eyeglasses and visor is resonant to his mind's psionic field and is similarly protected.

[@ImAlsoMerobiba]

The extra dimension stuff is from the 1983 Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, which is technically official but not treated as canon. Writers are actually prohibited from mentioning it. It's just the most commonly known origin because it's a meme (he shoots punches from "punch dimension"). The comics usually say he absorbs energy from all different sort of sources, like the above's comment first paragraph.

[@ImAlsoMerobiba]

@@passionsquietrage It's not even a retcon. It's from one Marvel handbook that isn't canon. Writers are actually disallowed from mentioning the punch dimension. It's a meme that people who haven't read the comics repeat as if it's a fact.

Wolverine couldn't have been played by a better actor, Jackman did such a good job in every movie he played the character. Hugh Jackman is also the longest serving actor to play a Marvel Hero (I think). He played Wolverine for 17 years (soon to be 23 years), but DC decided they wanted that title as a whole by bringing Keaton back as Batman after about 34 years.

Remy LeBeau (Gambit) was a favorite character for me as a kid, he can turn ordinary energy from objects into kinetic energy then use that energy as a force to expel at will. He done it to his playing cards the most because the smaller the object, the faster he could charge up or convert the energy. He used the kinetic energy to advance his speed, Bo staff, strength and fighting abilities also like you seen him climb the wall. He is also Rogues Husband in the comics.

[@DukeDarkshadow]

So several thing to point out coming out of this one, Jax- -Victor is actually Sabretooth, yet Logan and Sabretooth were never brothers in the comics -Take everything you learned about Deadpool here...and wipe it from your mind completely. A lot of people who watch this movie who aren't familiar with the comics assume this to be an accurate Deadpool origin and that it ties into his future movie. This couldn't be further from the truth. The "Deadpool" we got here is a complete abomination of who Deadpool really is. Ryan Reynolds hated this adaptation so much that HE'S the one who eventually had the 2016 Deadpool movie greenlit so that the Wade Wilson character could be done justice. So when you eventually get to the Deadpool movie, it's basically a reboot of the character. -This movie, "Wolverine: Origins", was intended to be the first in a series of many "Origin" titled X-Men movies where we'd have movies dedicated to the origin story of several different X-Men characters. "X-Men Origins: Magneto" was going to be the one to follow this movie but because Wolverine's movie wasn't nearly as successful as the studio would have liked, the plan for all these future Origin movies was dropped and we instead got X-Men: First Class next.

[@passionsquietrage]

It's not actually Deadpool at all, it's Weapon 11. They just named him Wade Wilson but it wasn't the real one.

[@residentfan1521]

⁠@@passionsquietrage it is. they call him Deadpool in this movie. “I needed your weapon for the pool. A mutant killer, Deadpool.” What’s funny is that while not comic book accurate, this origin story for his name makes more logical sense than in the comics. In the comics his name comes from a Dead Poll that the prisoners in the facility had on which one of them would die on any given day. So his name shouldn’t have been Deadpool, it should be Deadpoll. Here his gene POOL is filled with the DNA of DEAD mutants.

Both brothers were blessed with hyper accelerated healing which allowed them to live hundreds of years without aging or die of mortal wounds.

I‘m so happy you liked the movie too :) It‘s my „guilty pleasure“ movie I guess. It‘s not really liked by most people (mainly because of how they portrayed Wade/Deadpool) but I love the montage in the beginning, the origin, the old couple, Gambit, Agent Zero and and and. I just can‘r help but love it ❤

This is one of my favourite X-men movies as well. I think that the 'criticism' it gets is unfounded as all comic book movies are mangled logistically.

The montage in the beginning is amazing!!

It's so adorable to watch her reaction when she doesn't have the baggage we had back in 2009. No leaked footage, crappy VFX from the leaked footage, or Deadpool's comic knowledge. To her it's a fun popcorn movie while most of us think it's bad or the very most a guilty pleasure.😅

30:05 Yes and no. This film was the first attempt to adapt Deadpool to theaters, but it failed miserably, and actor Ryan Reynolds fought until the end to have a new chance to play the correct version of Deadpool, and fortunately he got what he wanted. But it's good that you watched this movie, it will make sense when you watch the Deadpool movies. And I recommend you watch the extended version of Deadpool 2.

He is so good with babies.

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

Actually, he didn't. The Proof of Concept film was rejected by the studio. However, the footage "accidentally" got put online and the feedback was so positive the studio changed their mind, even though they still didn't believe in Deadpool and the film got a lower budget then asked for.

@@ThisIsMyFullName Well, anyway the film was released, so yes he got what he wanted. If it wasn't for him leaking the footage on the internet he wouldn't have made it.

The only drawbacks of this movie were: -Weapon XI (Deadpool) -Wolverine's cartoonish CGI claws -Extra X-Men characters which were not needed in the movie, like Cyclops, Gambit, etc. Except that, I think this movie was pretty good. It's ridiculously over hated.

[@maximillianosaben]

I have seen this movie *way* more times than *so* many better movies, but heck, fun to watch is fun to watch. This whole movie had gotten leaked online weeks before it's release. Though it had some unfinished VFX, it was mostly finished and looked rather bad to most people, especially compared to the X-Men movies that came out even years earlier. Then the movie came out, looked much the same anyway, but bad word of mouth was already abound. Plus, many people had already watched the leaked version, so it cost the studio a bunch of money at the box office (even if the reviews would have been the same).

[@seantds619]

I just rewatched this movie today, and I had the exact same reaction to Victor dragging his claws along the hood of the car

[@john99218]

Dear Jax: Back in the 1800's an estate the size of John Howlett's would require a significant staff to run it. Instead of being surprised at how quickly they started 'hunting' James and Victor, you should rather be surprised at how slowly the household reacted to Thomas Logan's 'invasion'. Now the household weren't exactly 'hunting' James they were trying to rescue him which is what household servants would do if the Master's child ran off into the night. And another point Victor is a rather savage child -- the result of being raised by a man like Thomas Logan. BUT Victor doesn't hate John Howlett. RATHER Victor really likes John Howlett (John Howlett once gave 'Victor' one of Jame's many Christmas presents when he found out Victor didn't get any) is even a little jealous of John and Jame's relationship (that's jealous in a good way). Now, the movie version here is a much condensed version of the comic book. The character of Victor Creed is actually an amalgamation of two characters in the comics (Doge Logan and Victor Creed) but maybe you don't have to worry about that to enjoy this movie. I just mention it in case somebody else does and confuses you.

[@brucekaraki1832]

also the 'Jimmy' reference since Logan's real name being James - Logan coming from his natural father's last name

[@dennislopez1272]

Great reaction as always, Jax. This movie is not very comic book accurate. Its continuity doesn't even track with the Fox Xmen franchise. That being said, I can still kinda find something that i enjoy from all of these movies. Liev Schreiber is an incredible actor. Even though they aren't necessarily comic book accurate, I'd rather a great actor play the role. Ryan Reynolds was trying for many years to get the Deadpool character in a movie. Unfortunately, this is what he got. He was really upset about how they portrayed him. Thank heavens he was able portray Deadpool the way he wanted eventually. Also, Wolverines is Canadian and his birth name in the comics is James Howlett. His alias is Logan.

You're not suppose to know this. You are suppose to be morally neutral when it comes to being a soldier --- its part of the Xmen philosophy and moral conflict of the whole series. Now historically Canadian recruits in the civil war were divided. Those from the Anglisized West joined the Union but the Francaphone east went to the Confederation. So (conceivably) you are suppose to be morally conflicted about the whole thing.

22:15 I don't know if they were all different locations, but I know the crashed helicopter scene that's shortly after this was shot in the south island of New Zealand. My mom was on a road trip and had to take a detour because they closed the roads nearby for filming, and she later found out that it was for that scene. Decent chance the adjacent countryside scenes were also in the same region, whether or not they were immediately contiguous. I love that you included the "punch dimension" joke, which is sort of a meme and is technically accurate (I think I've said the "his eyes shoot punches from the punch dimension" thing in your comments - I've definitely said it in some KZbin comment vaguely recently but I don't know if it was on this channel). However I believe in-universe they're called "portals to a universe of pure kinetic energy". Which is the same thing as shooting punches from the punch dimension, but worded in a less silly way. Just in case you thought the meme was the serious official wording :)

Love the 'Canadian' shirt Jax! Part of me was thinking it might be good to skip this one, as has already been said the Deadpool you see here is NOT the proper Deadpool, you'll see the real Mr Pool with his proper origin story soon enough. "Just bury the bodies, no one needs to know" ROTFLMAO!🤣🤣🤣 On the subject of Easter Eggs, simple answer is that there are almost no MCU Easter eggs in the X-Men universe due to the fact that at the time the X-Universe was being produced by Fox, a completely different studio. Gambit's Superpower: Can charge any object with Kinetic Energy, effectively turning it into a bomb, the larger the object, the longer it takes to charge but the bigger the explosion, Gambit likes to use playing cards because he likes to play cards but they're also small and nondescript. A lot of the other stuff Gambit does in this movie is not in the original comics. "He got so bulked up for this." Would you like a napkin?😜 Oh and FYI, the proper Deadpool movie is R rated for a reason, it may not be Lamby appropriate. 😋

[@Pastamist]

12:54 in the comics, she’s Native American. That’s where her name comes from, and Sabretooth killing her wasn’t staged- it was specifically chosen to be Wolverine’s birthday that he’d do the act as well; and worse, it was implied that wasn’t all he did to her. Since then, he made a habit of paying Logan a visit every birthday to either beat the snot out of him or cause more grief, he even has a timer on. But as soon as that timer goes off and Logan’s birthday is over, interestingly, he backs off.

[@residentfan1521]

22:05 it’s implied that the son is dead. The old man said it WAS his son’s jacket. And when the old woman sees Logan wearing it, she’s shocked and stumbles over her words. Given the time period, it’s likely that their son was drafted for the Vietnam War and didn’t make it back home.

[@levicohen3387]

Wolverine (Logan) and Sabretooth (Victor Creed): Rapid healing, bone claws, animal rapport, enhanced senses, decelerated aging, enhanced physical condition. Agent Zero: Enhanced physical condition, high coordination. Deadpool (Wade Wilson): Superhuman physical condition, regenerative healing. Bradley (Bolt): Technopathy (the power to control technology with ones own mind). Fred Dukes (The Blob; villain, canonical member of the Brotherhood of Mutants): Superhuman strength, nigh-invulnerability. John Wraith (Kestrel): Teleportation. Kayla Silverfox: Tactohypnosis (the power to influence other minds via physical touch). Scott Summers (Cyclops): Concussive optic blast energy. Emma Frost (White Queen) Telepathy, diamond mimicry.
