In a world where mutants (evolved super-powered humans) exist and are discriminated against, two groups form for an inevitable clash: the supremacist Brotherhood, and the pacifist X-Men.

[@nvp8191]

The professor couldn't detect mystique because everyone at the school where mutants if one where human he would be able to sense them. He's not constantly in people heads because he thinks it's an invasion of privacy.

[@parkerboy795]

Not to mention, he'd have mental overload from everyone's thoughts.

[@tofu_golem]

Slight correction. Most telepaths in the Marvel universe maintain telepathic shields to protect them from the thoughts and feelings of others. If they don't, they can go mad because over time, they lose track of which thoughts and feelings are their own. This is extra bad because an insane telepath can cause a lot of suffering for a lot of people. So Xavier maintains those shields unless he has a specific reason to lower them.

Something I learned just this week. When the little boy smiled at Cyclops in the train station, the extras didn't know what movie they were in but the kid was a huge Xman fan and when he saw the visor he knew it was Xmen.

[@wuhanclan]

Moves like Dark Knight trilogy, Sam Raimi Spiderman, and even Xmen, all had something in common in that they were legit movies. They had actual characters instead of caricatures. They had real stories to tell with depth and grounded themes. They were movies about super heroes, not superhero movies, which is what the mindless modern MCU movies are.

[@theOneThatWas]

​@@RayMcElroy50 We saw plenty of it. Not lately though.

[@odiumgeneris729]

@Dayspring "art imitates life". Human storytelling is one giant allegory. If someone isn't relaying a historical event (or news report), you're looking at or reading an allegory one way or another. At the very least, the consumer turns it into one. And as far as j.r.r. Tolkien is concerned, the One Ring was the New Testament concept of sin, I don't care what he try to say afterward.

[@One.Zero.One101]

@Dayspring People misinterpret Tolkien's allegory statement all the time. Tolkien hates obvious allegory like Aslan being Jesus in Narnia. You LITERALLY cannot write a story without allegory. Our stories are based on our experiences. Our characters are based on people we know. Even Tolkien's writings had allegory whether intentional or unintentional

The real magic of these movies and what elevated them beyond simple superhero movies (at least until X3) was the relationship and acting skills of Stewart and McKellen. The fact that they brought him back and will be bringing Logan back as well speaks volumes.

Unlike the Avengers, the X-Men were always symbolic of marginalized people. The question posed over and over, which is the main bone of contention between Eric and Charles, is: if you are marginalized and oppressed, but have gifts and abilities that could help or hurt those privileged people who oppress you, what do you do?

[@odiumgeneris729]

Post-Endgame MCU has an answer: "Crap all over them and gloat! GIRL POWER!"

[@howardbeatman2820]

No, not "always symbolic". For the first year or so, the X-Men were portrayed as standard superheroes who sometimes worked directly with the FBI. It was the reader response which shifted the portrayal of the mutants.

Deadpool and Wolverine have history canonically. Hugh Jackman has played Wolverine many times, and has stated he was finished playing the role... but then a certain Ryan Reynolds asked him a favor... and lets just say Deadpool 3 is looking fire!

[@dallashawke1216]

Crazy part of Wolverine's backstory is that he is over 200 years old! He was born in the 1800s in Canada. Looks good for his age right?

[@donnyouttheway4091]

So he had to been almost 300 in Logan then. If you think about however old Charles was

[@SharkWayneGaming]

Now you understand the joke Deadpool made on why the school is so empty when he's there: "Crazy that it's only two of you, it's like the studio couldn't afford another X-Men" Great to see you guys diving into the X-Men Franchise. It's definitely alot deeper than it seems. X-Men Comic came out around during the civil rights era in america (1963) Stan Lee basically said "Why don't I just say they're mutants? They are born that way." That's part of how the concept came about. Keep watching! :)

[@leegutierrez1562]

Ray Park, the guy who plays Toad, is also Darth Maul. Magneto floats because he has metal in his boots, he can manipulate magnetism.

[@neillio]

You should definitely at least see X-Men 2. It's an incredible sequel. As a franchise it can be hit or miss, but it has some really great high points. Logan is my personal favorite but you have a lot of films in the series between X-Men 1 and Logan

[@jmini2010]

Not sure if you were aware, or if someone else has mentioned this, but the guy who plays Toad (the one with the stretchy tongue) is Ray Park who also played Darth Maul in Star Wars Ep 1: The Phantom Menace.

[@canadianicedragon2412]

This is the beginning, and it was a great beginning. There are several substories and layers. For the time it was good. Wolverine was never much of a team player. There were parts you might not get without some of the background, but it does stand up by itself. For example, Magneto controls magnetic fields... so put a steel plate in your shoe he can lift you or fly.

[@ThemeOfSecrets]

LOVE seeing you guys watch this for the first time! I t was a great movie - especially if you go in without prior info. Can't wait for when you see the next two films!

[@IChooseJesus9091]

Professor X explained that Eric Lyncher could "create magnetic fields" AND "control metal". That's how he can float/ fly. Blue Shapeshifter Lady's Mutant name is Mystique.

[@Terp311]

Some trivia. Xavier is loosely based on MLK Jr and Magneto (Erik) Malcom X. They both want what’s best for them but take completely opposite directions doing it.

[@SouthPaw718]

Shoshanna was like "you sure this is marvel (and not DC)" with how dark the opening was 😂

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

Thing is, Marvel superheroes have always been shades of grey, with a lot of them being conflicted antiheroes (like Tony Stark/Iron Man, or Magneto, or Deadpool). For the longest time, DC was the universe of larger-than-life superheroes (like Superman or the Flash) in bright primary colour spandex costumes. Only with the modern "Man of Steel/Justice League" Snyderverse movies did DC suddenly turn all their heroes into brooding characters in nearly black costumes.

[@XXdocdropXX]

You’ll guys will learn that there is a difference between MCU movies made by “Marvel Studios” and the X-Men/Fantastic Four movies made by Fox “in Association with Marvel Entertainment” or the Spider-Man movies made by Sony. They didn’t connect until much later when Disney bought Fox and made shared deals with Sony.

[@dax977]

Great reaction team, can't wait for you to watching the full series of all these films to really understand the characters and see what happens 😀

[@Alexanderthegreat159]

Charles wouldn't have sacrificed that one man just to kill magneto. Because as soon as magneto died that bullet would have went right through the man's head. Plus Charles can't control magneto directly because of that helmet he's wearing. Also magneto doesn't just control metal, his power is magnetism which can f*** with a lot of stuff including making himself levitate. But of course in these movies they don't really show the full extent of his powers, they mostly just do him metal bending

[@FeaturingRob]

I am kind of surprised you didn't recognize Sir Ian McKellen as Eric Lensher/Magneto...he was also Gandalf in 'Lord of the Rings'. Of the bad guys, the Brotherhood of Mutants, my favorite is Mystique (aka Blue Girl). In the initial films, she is played by Rebecca Romijn, a former supermodel turned actress. She is now on 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' as Number One aka Commander Una Chin-Riley of the U.S.S. Enterprise. With 'X-Men: First Class', which takes place before these films...Mystique aka Raven Darkholme is played by Jennifer Lawrence...but Romijn made appearances as an older Raven. Before playing Wolverine, Hugh Jackman was in London in a major production of Rodger and Hammerstein's 'Oklahoma!', which can be found on video. He played the lead, Curly, and sang "Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin'" among other songs. He has been Wolverine in 9 films total (one as a cameo, and one as archival footage included). He had, initially, hung up the claws with 'Logan' in 2017...but recently announced he will play Wolverine again in 'Deadpool 3'. Originally, Ryan Reynolds appeared in 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' as Wade Wilson...and that was his first Deadpool (but they did the character really odd at the end.). You haven't seen the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy yet...the actor playing Toad is Ray Park, who appears in 'Episode I - The Phantom Menace' as Darth Maul, who is awesome!!! The part of the fight with Storm, where he kicks the metal bar out of the elevator doors and twirls it...that is a very Darth Maul move! The streak of white in Rogue's hair is from the comics. She has always had it, and in the cartoon from the 90s, she had a huge amount of red hair and a streak of white. The actress playing Rogue is Anna Paquin, who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for 'The Piano' when she was 11 years old (the second youngest Oscar winner in history and it was her film debut). She is also really well known for her role as Sookie Stackhouse in the HBO series 'True Blood'. Onscreen, Sir Patrick Stewart (Professor Charles Xavier) and Sir Ian McKellan (Eric Lensher/Magneto) are enemies...OFFSCREEN, the two men have become the most amazing BFFs. They are both Shakespearean actors and legends in that field but they never worked together until this film. Their friendship is so close that when Stewart married his current wife, McKellen officiated.

[@animatorFan74]

This movie is pretty much what spawned off a LOT of superhero movies which followed and ultimately led to creation of MCU. This was definitely a seminal movie in the pantheon of the superhero genre in movies. Rogue has that hairstyle because when she absorbed Magneto's powers it was THAT intense it caused her to have a stroke and that's what gave her the blonde hair in front. (It happens in real life, look it up). In the comics she always had that hair style, so this was a neat way of the movies giving her a reason why she has her hair like that. In my own mind, at least, it still rates as a really great superhero movie. Definitely see X-Men 2 next.... X-Men 3 didn't do so well at the box office and wasn't very well recieved, but if you're loving the franchise, you should still see it.
