That Time Fox Killed Off Marvel's Unkillable Mutant (Adapting to Survive)

Darwin powers where comic accurate. He could have easily survived swallowing that energy ball but he took a peek at the future of the franchise and decided that getting burned to a crisp was better than getting butchered over the span of 3 films.

Zach Harris-O'Keefe In comics, there are several universes making up the Multiverse and the greater Omniverse, several of those universes have been wiped away by gods beyond gods known as the abstracts. Darwin can’t survive that. Marvel zombies, Darwin became a zombie and was not able to adapt himself apart from the disease. Darwin also can’t survive the power of the Infinity Gauntlet, the Cosmic Cube, the HOTU and several other cosmic weapons from Marvel. He can’t adapt to everything despite his adaptation being incredible. His movie counterpart is just a weaker version of him

All the writers had to do to keep Darwin from being OP is realize that his powers are only defensive. So Kevin Bacon could've just wised up and said, ''You know what, let's just not attack Darwin. As long as we don't attack him, he's just a regular dude vs. our team of super powered mutants!" That would've been interesting to see Darwin trying to jump into attacks and having the bad guys continuously avoiding him.

[@agonleed3841]

@gorgoroth1919 I think you missed something in this video He said there was once a plan that made them think he would possibly turn into something that would help..instead he just teleported. Which was basically the tell tell fact that his powers are defensive. To a point where it's more about keeping him safe to survive, rather than add to his offense. Then he went on to say exactly what you said..the writers fucked him off

[@archentity]

@gorgoroth1919 They couldve literally killed off any other mutant to raise stakes. Yet instead of killing off any of the other mutants that can easily be killed in so many ways (most of which you could just shoot and kill with a pistol) the ONE guy who's power is to adapt to anything to stay alive gets killed off instead. Its fucking stupid terrible writing and a spit in the face to fans of the comics who are familiar with Darwin's character.

[@Ignasimp]

Yeah the moment they cast Kevin Bacon for that roll, it was cookies for Darwin.

[@andreidragostin]

My doctor told be Bacon kills slowly by raising your cholesterol

[@skullkid_gaming3312]

Him becoming Hela to survive against her is the best no you card ever

[@nicolasinguanti9986]

12:23 I haven't seen X-Men first class yet, so I'll trust you on what you're saying, but ever since I saw Hollow Man as a kid whenever I see Kevin Bacon it gives me the chills. So just because of that film I'd might end up feeling intimidated by that guy.

11:40 “he doesn’t even die in a cool way, he just crumbles to dust” do I have a movie for you.

[@williampym3741]

Darwin is the Marvel equivalent of the Pokemon move Metronome.

[@spookyadler]

His power has been overwhelmed in the comics and taken time to recover. I always figured the movie Darwin took a bit to reconstitute himself and then just went back to a normal life rather than more CIA crap

[@brandontaylor9769]

Like he just said this is some bull im done with yall

[@baldhead7759]

But it makes him out to be a coward when he was shown to be extremely brave.

[@Idunno-b8g]

My personal improvement for the killing Darwin scene. Villain launches Darwin into space where Darwin basically does a tardigrade thing.

[@CounterClaws]

Anon Ymous Or he could be like Kars from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

[@jonttopia]

Eventually Darwin stopped thinking

[@friedmaruchan1525]

Darwin is actually the strongest mutant because he can say the n-word. Change My Mind.

[@vikindana]

Change your own damn mind

[@Aschamz]

Shaggy has the last N-Word pass, so It is safe to say that Dawin is pretty powerful in that aspect.

[@MrKsostad]

Lmaooo

But... Theres literally storm who can say it too

[@huntmastergutentag557]

you're trying way too hard. change my mind.

[@bwackbeedows3629]

Wow, this guy can become anything living. This guy is *Ben 10...*

[@Reddotzebra]

*And* anything unliving as well.

[@ichbinsehrmudesoishuttfu5428]

I stopped watching xmen movies after this scene. I hoped that the guy would appear later in the movie like some sort of an energy blast or something but no, his only vulnerability was to be africanamerican. And sure, BAAAAAANNNNSSSSSHHHHEEEEEE and Fireballsshakira were very ridiculous...

[@alleny2971]

Ichbinsehrmude Soishuttfu I stopped watching after the one that magneto folded up the Golden Gate Bridge or whatever.

[@_Nasrani_]

I'm gonna believe that he involuntarily dispersed into molecules and was still collecting himself back together throughout the movie.

[@nekochristmas]

Darwin can still technically come back, there is a issue where Darwin had became pretty much dust and it turned out that he got reformed at a different location as a new person in a new body

[@maestrojo]

don't count on it. Its been, what...3 movies since we've seen his character? I'm pretty sure he's gone. Hopefully when Disney starts adding X-Men characters to their Marvel universe they bring him back and actually make him useful.

[@That80sGuy1972]

I actually threw my pop at the screen when I saw the way Darwin died... and I saw the movie as a relatively old guy. The teens sitting in front of me didn't snitch and loved it. My friends that I was with stopped taking me with them to the movies.

[@brokenwave6125]

So someone working at the theater had to clean up your shit because you didn't like the movie? What are you 3 years old?

[@edwardwhalen4430]

They could have focused on a weakness of his power randomly manifesting, but also made him not OP in the cinematic universe by saying his power is only defensive. They could have kept him alive by showing the dust slowly coming back together and still preserved appearance of power for the bad guy

[@Minecraftmustache1]

darwin just turned to cosmic energy and then ceased to exist on the mortal plane.

[@wombatpandaa9774]

This guy would be so fun to see in the MCU, probably in his own show

[@bryankearney6525]

Yeah Darwin is sick as a mutant power

[@miraculux.]

GOD yes that pissed me off so much when I saw that mess at the movies, bless you for this video 👏👏💯 Wonderful as always.

[@Abbot3663]

I really liked darwin. I remember i was really mad that they killed him off in like 5 minutes.

[@Cragmortis]

Hela: Touch.... Darwin: I'm about to end this lady's whole career

[@BaneSIlvermoon]

I've always told myself that he Dr. Manhattened himself out of there. He's gonna pop back up as a disembodied nervous system someday

[@MrKogaras]

one of the biggest gripe i had with that film. what a waste of really good character

[@YTHandlesBlow]

Which one?

[@ZargAtHome]

I was literally thinking “I can see exactly where this is going” then Brad said it a few seconds later.

[@dominichillier8809]

Maybe Darwin turned into a form of energy?

[@Gibbypastrami]

im the comics yeah, but in the film he turns to dust

[@RandomCorvid]

​@@Gibbypastrami there is a mutant in the comic verse who's ability is being a Geokinetic Psychic Entity, he could of just adapted to become that.

[@miguelolandesca9342]

Birdbox: These monsters mess with your nervous system. This Guy: *_s p o n g e_*

[@dseray9494]

There's also a guy who's superpower is the ability to be revived every time he dies. I think his name is mister immortal

The tattoo has failed! Brad is growing too powerful.

[@jimmy37591]

Hawkeye's shield is made of quicksilver

[@parallax7789]

Wrong movie

[@Captain_WingMan]

My theory is Darwin's power made him deconstruct to atoms to survive and he's on a beach saying "fuck that class"

[@MAGEtvPTB]

...okay now that is pretty magnificent!!

[@AdmiralStoicRum]

I thought he just reached a state of pure energy but hasn't been able to pull himself backward because its advanced enough that other entities who have reached that state have stopped him, or he just got lost in background radiation and some kind of power boost or psychic wave might be able to pull him back together

[@kimberleywilliams7802]

Wow, you're a better writer than they are.

[@matthewbreen1951]

The energy shift was what kept him alive in his debut arc in Deadly Genesis. Problem is, he's alive but he has no way of reincorporating on his own because he evolutionarily doesn't need it?

[@gildedgoblin2999]

That scene always pissed me off. No mutant should ever be capable of beating Darwin with their ability. Like, if YOU evolved to survive it, why the fuck wouldn't he?

[@vanesibolland8365]

Darwin: "I dont wanna go Mr Havok"

[@thisusername7824]

I am really frustrated now. Darwin did not die. He adapted. He became pure energy. I think he even did it in a comic once. (don't know for sure).

[@spunkybug3507]

2:44 So marvel basically created their own spongebob squarepants darn

[@kenjay813]

Darwin didn't die he became pure energy and having a hard time putting himself back together

[@Fattz2k9]

Will-I-Am character getting his spine riped out by Sabertooth ...another example...

[@FitzFarseer96]

i've always wondered how viable that would actually be in the comics. Granted I haven't seen that movie in forever (for good reason) but from what I remember it seemed plausible. He could move really fast but he was repetitive with his movements and Sabertooth just attacked where he was going to be

[@023Whiplash]

13DivineSpark bad example

[@Fattz2k9]

@@023Whiplash , yeah I guess your right nobody likes Will-I-Am much , there were probably cheers and whistles at the showing. 🤔

[@riripari2042]

I knew they were gonna exploit his powers weakness though. His teleporting power was different from say Nightcrawler. You could see his skeleton every time he teleported. It was so weird, but hey at least we got to see Will-I-Am.

[@joepapa1189]

I forgot first class existed and that Darwin was in it. After this I’m just mad that he was killed. He could have been a cool side character that just kinda chills throughout the series and just is kinda chilling as like the X-men are fighting like apocalypse and armies of sentinels and Darwin is just getting chips or something as he adapts as he gets a snack

[@losberries8631]

He has to Shakira his way across the battlefield. Best line I've heard to describe a mutant's powers lol

[@joetrident]

Well, we got to watch the Merc with a Mouth have it's mouth literally shut, so this absurdity is strangely not that surprising

[@sometimesidontunderstand0029]

I literally said the fact that they killed Darwin in the movie is a sign is that the new x men reboots were gonna be trash great pointing out cheers to the death of X-men fox

[@nigeltaylor2832]

Just wanted to say, that you guys bring me alot of joy these days. Keep nerdy as you are.

[@Nyghtking]

The sad thing is I thought of two ways they could have done darwin differently so they didn't have to kill him off. It's based off of what happened to the hulk in the movies, in the movies the hulk is much weaker then his comic book version, in that there is almost nothing that can beat the hulk using only physical force since his strength, resilience, and regeneration is limitless, so they made him weaker. They could have done the same with darwin, just make his power the ability to resist damage instead of becoming immune to it, or make his immunity temporary, or make it have to have a cost like an accelerated metabolism, something so that it's possible to beat him. They could have had a scene with a severely wounded darwin in a hospital bed, having been blown in half or something and he's completely wrapped in bandages but his mutant power is keeping him from dying, but he's still in a coma from the injuries he suffered.

[@anthonysantiago8668]

I would love to see Darwin vs. Taskmaster.

[@Macndcheese]

Why

[@RookyFury57]

Yeah o•o

[@AzureKyle]

@@Macndcheese Taskmaster has photographic reflexes, meaning his fighting style can adapt to any situation, so the longer a fight goes on the more of an upper hand he gets. Meanwhile, Darwin's mutant ability allows him to adapt to survive any situation. So it's a matter of who would win, the man that adapts to survive, or the man who adapts during a fight. It has the potential to go on forever with no clear winner, as they both adapt to eachother.

[@ronniesnakehissiii9413]

@@AzureKyle He'd just go invisible/cloak himself since I guess Taskmaster's ability involves seeing/sensing fighting styles & situations. And/or Darwin's actual damage against Taskmaster (hits, kicks or whatever) are completely random to where T.M. cannot adapt
