Hi, Jean.

[@Joshua-i2o8s]

The opening scene with nightcrawler in the white house is still one of my top superhero film scenes, even after like 30+ marvel films.

[@paneledmeteor33]

And the cgi still looks incredible

[@phtevenj]

it IS really good BUT nothing compares to the Quicksilver scenes imo

[@brandonparisien2381]

Magneto's comment about flying us an in-joke: Jean, Storm, and Rogue all fly in the comics. The scene with Bobby telling his parents he's a mutant was meant as a comming out as gay analogy...and pretty well done.

[@thedoctor4327]

I once mentioned that scene and other parts of the films/comics that reflect LGBT issues to a homophobic "fan" of the X-Men. Their temper tantrum swearing off the franchise for its "agenda" was kind of funny.

[@fajenthygia5760]

"Have you tried...not being a mutant?"

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

"Have you tried... not being a Slayer?" This is how you can tell Whedon has worked on these movies. 😊

[@thedoctor4327]

@@happyslapsgiving5421 I know that he did some rewrites for the first X-Men movie (Wolverine's "You're a dick" line was one of his additions and the infamous "toad that gets hit by lighting" quote was the remains of running gag of Toad making boasts about what a toad can do but all the other instances of it were cut so Storm's line is both cringe but also a bit of an orphaned punchline ). I've checked and didn't find anything to suggest he did any other work on the X-Men movies (although he did write an excellent series of X-Men comics in the mid 2000s)

[@havok6280]

In the comics, Nightcrawler is Mystique's son...

[@Donzig4p]

Oh yeah???

[@thedoctor4327]

And Rogue was adopted by Mystique in the comics which makes Rogue and Kurt’s brief interactions even better

[@joshuawells835]

He's also a devout Catholic who joins a monastery.

[@AntoineRideaux-wd1zk]

Along with another mutant from x-men 1st class , who's a red version of nightcrawler

[@AntoineRideaux-wd1zk]

She also has human kids like humans would have mutants

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

8:12 Fun fact: Cassandra Nova did exactly that to Wolverine, in Whedon's Astonishing X-Men comics. 😂

[@Etticos.]

Magneto is cool because he isn’t the traditional “villain”. His goals and Charles over lap, mainly the desire of peace and security for mutant kind. However, Magneto’s ideas on how to achieve that vastly differ from Charles. Charles is Martin Luther King, Magneto is Malcolm X. And yes Mystique is usually nudy rudy. Also in the comics Mystique is Nightcrawler’s mom.

[@magicbrownie1357]

A bad batch of snow peas. LOL

[@pablochian1439]

Charles doesn't pause time, he pauses brains. If Stryker's assistant could not be healed, she would not survive the adamantium implantation

[@mareiramv]

This movie is great, but I gotta say, if there's one thing that I like about reactions is how much they can add to this reexperience of something you already know. In that case, it added quite a few laughs lmao. You loosing yourself in that analogy was really funny.

[@AidantheLegend]

Early notification squad reporting in ✨ now THIS is a good one

[@dai.wah.chi.jun.bo.1]

Years ago, I have visited the real-life building which was referred to as the Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in the movies - it's Toronto's majestic castle, Casa Loma. The hallway, underground tunnel, and classroom (maybe parts of the garden) scenes in X-men 1 & 2 were really at Casa Loma ... at least, that's what I was able to recognize from touring Casa Loma! 😁👍 cool experience‼

[@curtquinlan9870]

Snow peas??!?🤣🤣🤣

[@lizardkingsliwinski4031]

X-Men: Evolution is a series really worth checking out and maybe even reacting too! There's even a great little story about why Nightcrawler has smoke appear when he jumps around.

[@defunctus408]

Callback for tall vampires..... The actor who played Colossus (Peter) was in Twilight.

[@Jonno92100]

I love that you're in the mindset now, don't trust anyone, is everyone Mystique?

[@Khay-77]

If only the director, Bryan Singer, would have stayed on to direct X3. Instead of that lump of shit Brett Ratner...

[@Jon_FM]

The Weapon X program in this movie is located in Alberta Canada (where Wolverine was when Rogue found him in the last one. Wolvie is from Canada and that is where his Adamantium skeleton happened.

[@ronfehr7899]

When we first see Wolverine, he is up north, in Alberta, Canada, if memory serves. I believe that's where Charles Xavier suggested he look for answers at the end of the first movie.

[@Krayd-q5j]

The way "Wolverine" smiled and looked at Stryker was really off to him. He knew it couldn't be Logan.

[@Temeraire101]

I just realised Magneto can control the natural Iron and Magnesium in human blood. Though not sure if there is enough there.

[@williamhu6941]

I was actually eight years old when the movie came out in theatres and I saw it on the big screen with my cousins and the three of us really enjoyed it. If you’re curious about the character Colossus, he has the power to turn his whole body into steel.

[@VorchaKali]

Wolverine has 3 blades on each hand. 1 between each knuckle

[@jerodast]

I didn't realize how much that question would make me laugh, because I'm just picturing every little boy who ever held chopsticks and/or knives in between their fingers acting like Wolverine yelling "three of them, duh!"

[@glesnietutty8444]

Awesome can't wait for your next reaction I love the Xmen universe

[@paulalexandredumasseauvan2357]

GREAT reaction, thank you! 👍☺

[@Mark_E_M]

"bad batch of snow peas"...LOL!!!

[@VorchaKali]

Love the new hairstyle

[@richardparkes166]

Mis Sneaky made me laugh 😂😂😂

[@jerodast]

Me too, but also kinda botched it - it was SO CLOSE to "Miss Sneak" haha.

[@VaughnWilson-go3xx]

I LOVE ALL XMEN MOVIE 🎥🍿 NIGHTCRAWLER IS MY XMEN CHARACTER KISSES 😘😘😘😘 ♥️♥️♥️ BEAUTIFUL CUTIE 🥰 I LOVE UR AWESOME REACTION 🎥

[@puremachinery]

Correct, Mystique is not wearing clothes, because she can only change her body, not her clothing or other items she's carrying. So for example if she wore an X-Men uniform and changed into William Stryker, she would then be William Stryker in an ill-fitting X-Men uniform, which wouldn't be helpful for tricking anybody into thinking she's the real William Stryker.

[@phtevenj]

you might like the first couple of seasons of Heroes... then Heroes Reborn which only has one season...

[@johnmcclure40]

Regarding the question of "Can she touch anyone", that reminds me. Have you ever seen Pushing Daisies? If not, might you consider it?

[@AntoineRideaux-wd1zk]

Emme x-men may be about mutants in America and around the world in the comics but it was a way for stan Lee and marvel comics to talk about racism in America during the Civil rights moment in 60's . Mutants represented black people in America and white people were the humans

[@Sherman1fan]

Not paused time, but paused humans. When Nightcrawler teleports, he leaves behind the smoke/ brimstone.

[@HammerdWalrus]

Nightcrawler's power isn't just simple teleportation. He shifts to a different dimension briefly then returns to his destination. It's like walking to a different room using a hallway.

[@SigTheSauceMan]

26:00 Marie/Rogue's power is to absorb other people's powers. The longer she touches the person for, the longer she'll have their power for. But it's always temporary, and may kill the person whose power she is taking if she touches them for too long. So in this scene, she's taking Pyro's power away temporarily, and using it put the fires out. 26:15 Wolverine's skeleton is bonded with Adamantium. The bullet never got through the skull. It got through the skin and tissues, but stopped dead at the skull. The force of the bullet's impact (ie. like a concussion, though Wolverine would not suffer the long-term/permanent effects of one) is likely what knocked him out. 30:30 Curious that you didn't even question why Mystique and Nightcrawler look exactly alike, even standing next to each other... 31:45 It's actually Iceman's actor that played Lamplighter in The Boys, not Pyro's. 38:20 This character is Yuriko Oyama / Lady Deathstrike. Basically, her father is the one who figured out how to bind Adamantium to bone, but his technology was stolen by the people who used it on Wolverine. So Yuriko devoted herself to hunting Wolverine, who she believed dishonored her father by becoming the weapon he did. The movies don't show this, but her body is actually cybernetic, which is where she gets her healing factor from. It's good, but not even in the same world as Wolverine's. It would take hours to days to recover from major injuries/disfigurement (though that applies to her comic Earth-616 version, not this movie/Earth-10005 version). 40:30 Yes. Mystique is 100% naked at all times.

[@Rhymester2113]

Magneto loves his helmet because it's especially made to stop anybody from getting to his mind and controlling him. Loving your reactions. 😊

[@LittleGalaxyBoy]

Hopefully, you’ll dive back into X-Men '97, especially now that you’ve gained a deeper understanding of the X-Men. The films serve as a good introduction, though they do take some liberties altering backstories and removing more comic book-like elements, likely because directors and producers in the 2000s felt mainstream audiences might not respond well to them. Still, they cover the basics of who the X-Men are, which is enough to enjoy X-Men '97. You don’t need to watch the original 90s series either. Many people who started X-Men '97 only had a general knowledge from the movies, and for some, it was their first real introduction to the team. So, whenever you decide to jump in, you’ll be good to go. Just keep in mind that the films aren’t always the most accurate take on the characters or storylines they do differ from the comics in significant ways. But regardless I'm glad your enjoying these films.

[@dai.wah.chi.jun.bo.1]

Imagine experiencing the introduction scene and the ending scene at the movie theatre ... would really feel like you're at the white house environment undergoing mutant attacks! 😎

[@quieness]

We all love magneto

[@josezamarron1064]

Thank you for another great reaction. I’m excited for your The Last Stand reaction.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

19:25 "Oh my God, that's severe." Yeah, well, I see two possible explanations: either the son was born a psychopath, or the son was treated so cruelly by his parents that he ultimately lashed out in kind. (You can guess where I'd put my money down on that question!)

[@Clambamthankyoumam]

X2 is the second best movie of the franchise after Logan in my opinion! The first Xmen movie is my fourth favorite while First Class is my third favorite and The Last Stand is one of my guilty pleasures aside from Days Of Future Past. #XmenUnited

[@m626m]

30:26 In the future? Like in 5 minutes. She can't wait. 48:15 Bobby! Freeze the water! Could have been Option 2.

[@thomasbeauchamp3781]

Armor Guy, aka Colossus, appears in the Deadpool movies, if you haven't seen them.

[@myTERAexperience]

It's hands down the best live action X-Men movie. Mainly due to the Nightcrawler opening scene and Wolverine killing. Rebecca Romjn was the best actor in my opinion in the entire franchise. It is a pitty we never got a live action as good as the 90's cartoon was... or even a franchise following the comics. Instead we got ... what happens when a toad is struck by lightning...sums up my feelings as a whole of all the X-Men films.

[@thedoctor4327]

This was the first X-Men movie I saw as a kid and it remains one of my favorites in the franchise (only Logan and Deadpool 1 are ahead of it). I had read comics like Calvin & Hobbes and Tintin before X2 but X2 and X-Men Evolution wer my introduction to Marvel and from there other superhero comics/stories

[@ADifferentVibe]

That Wolverine Lady Deathstrike fight took like 3 weeks to film to get everything right. Rebuild the set if it's done wrong and film the fights again, making sure no actors or stunt people got hurt.

[@stanleysmith2221]

Xmen is so convoluted and messy. Been following their exploits for decades. Excellent reaction 👌

[@jfwalden2105]

Cyclops is a great character, but since everyone roots for the Logan/ Jean romance, it kind of makes him unreservedly unfavored by a lot of people. I would have liked to see more of him, he was kind of their leader in the comics.

[@MusaFinderi]

"Jean's powers incredibly increased" 😏 Also, the helmet protects Magneto from psychic powers. At that point he was the only one to save mutants. X2 is so good.

[@anashiedler6926]

i also was surprised that he was not a kind of werewolf being, because the animal thats called "wolverine" in english was totally unknown to me, and in my language (german) is called - if you word for word translate it - "everything-eater"

[@MikeWood]

Wolverine's healing a bullet wound described as being spat out like a bad batch of snow peas. That has to be a first. 🤣

[@abetterfuture4787]

Yes, Mystique is always nude. I don't believe her power allows her to alter the clothes, so anybody she shapeshifts into would be wearing the same outfit. By being nude she alters her skin to resemble clothing, even though it isn't. Same concept with super heroes who turn invisible. They turn themselves invisible but if their power doesn't include the clothing, then the power really only works if they take it all off. It's just one of those things you're not supposed to think about.

[@spacesergeant101]

Man, mutants can be so cliquey! And Mystique is always wandering around naked, can change into any body type or anatomy she wishes... I assume she's got to be kinda freaky.

[@deanthemachine8879]

Just remember if/when you get to First Class and the movies after that that the consistency of the canon/timeline is a *MESS*, so get ready to see some of the characters from this era show up with different backstories and at different ages

[@magicbrownie1357]

X2 is the best of the original trilogy. Some of the reboot stuff is just as good if not better. Love your hair color change as well, Emme. Looks great!

[@Jack_of_Hearts4]

You should keep your hair the same for X-Men The Last Stand. Just a thought....

[@umbramoons9303]

Nightcrawler is my favorite, so this film has always been great to me. I was so happy to wake up and see this reaction!

[@CrownlessKing88]

I always had the feeling that Ronnie was Jealous that he didn’t have a mutant power and that’s why he called the police.

[@jowbloe3673]

Feels kind of pointless to me to comment to you on something you saw a month ago.

[@TheJerbol]

Pyro needs to ditch the lighter for a glove that sparks when you snap your fingers

[@GhostGoneWildLive]

Ty for reaction! Excited to see you react to Logan and Deadpool 3 😸

[@scottallen6160]

Holy Jean Grey Batman! I love the new red hair Emme! ✌️🥰

[@sindre.]

"A bad batch of snow piece" xD lol Imma steal that one 26:07

[@JustLiesNOR]

Just wanted to say, the red looks great. And also that is the cutest cat I've seen all week.

[@kevinfhaney]

I own this trilogy on DVD I think I'm going to go watch now at least the third one

[@darthhooah6596]

Love the hair colour Emme!!

[@johnmcclure40]

So, you're.... X cited to see it?

[@theangelperiel]

@38:16 we found the Bard of the party! 😂

[@traydevon]

About time. 😅

[@paneledmeteor33]

Is that Floop from Spy Kids?!

[@JCG52577]

Is your microphone ok?

[@TheJerbol]

26:10 um excuse me what? 😂

[@mikemartin8194]

That red hair looks so good on her.

[@jimtams]

This hair is SO good

[@husainadam2855]

Finally❤

[@vincentwilliams71]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@GAMBIT909]

"Mysneaky" 😂😂😂

[@CorrectFossa]

I highly recommend X-men 97 to learn more about the non-Wolverine, Professor X, or Magneto characters

[@CorrectFossa]

Storm, Cyclops, and Jean Grey (along with Wolverine) are basically THE X-men in the comics, and they barely get anything in these movies.

[@guiwars2]

18:10- Didn't know that the song of Deadpool 3 was in this?

[@Timelord79]

That was the joke in Deadpool.

[@MrSporkster]

These early X-Men movies go hard! 👀

[@dimitrijohnson6240]

Anybody still waiting for her reactions to daredevil season 3?

[@traydevon]

I’d rewatch the first three X-Men movies over most MCU movies other than Infinity War, lol.

[@mikebrown7799]

Hello Emme, so you are a redhead today, looks good!💈😊 Your hair would actually be more fitting for the next film. You'll see what I mean. At the end of the last film Professor X sent Wolverine to Alkali Lake, as it may have answers to his past. The majority of X-Men films are very good including the prequel films after these. The two Wolverine spinoff films are not the greatest IMO, except for the third and final one. Night Crawler is a good guy. He was just used by Stryker. Jason doesn't have any control. Stryker cut up his brain to control him. The female Wolverine would have to self heal to be able to endure the surgery with adamantium. Magneto's helmet shields him from the effects of cerebro. Great reactions to your second X-Men film, Emme!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@tonybeltran4366]

magneto will never be a villain to me, he might be my favorite mutant
