We FINALLY Watched X MEN
Director: Bryan Singer
Writer: Tom DeSanto, Bryan Singer, David Hayter
Stars: Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen
Genre: Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
Release Date: 2000-07-14
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.

[@periechontology]

The hairstyle is Rogue's signature hairstyle from the comics.

[@deathinc]

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!

[@Cognizant1]

In regards to how Magneto flies: if I remember correctly, he wears metal-soled boots.

[@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.

[@clearly_james7282]

Can’t wait for you guys to get to the rest of the X movies

[@chrisleebowers]

"This Marvel, but *not* MCU?" It's *supposed* to all be in the same universe; it is in the comics... BUT, Marvel was close to bankruptcy in the 90's and to stay afloat they had to sell off the movie rights to some of their most popular characters. So Spiderman ended up at Sony, Hulk at Universal, X-Men and Daredevil landed at Fox. Fox started the X-Men franchise first out of all of those. (The *First* 90's Marvel movie was "Blade" which kicked off Marvel's road to recovery and eventually forming their own studio) HOWEVER (Slight spoiler) now that Disney has acquired both Marvel studios and Fox, there are plans to bring them all together. In the latest MCU movies and in the Deadpool movies, the idea of time travel enables branching, paralel universes is being utilized to bring the various seperate universes together, so you *will* see some of these characters eventually in MCU.

[@robertalexstorm]

We love the X-men series. Also, you'll get a backstory to the wheelchair in a later X-men reboot movie.

[@danholmesfilm]

the next one, X2, is one of the best superhero films ever made... the rest of the franchise has some hits and misses but also one or two masterpieces so definitely continue even through the not so great ones. you'll love 99% of them lol

[@testfire3000]

100% agree. The Fox mutant franchise has some great hits and absolute cringe inducing misses. But I think because this couple has *no* comic book background, they have little to no expectations to be disappointed? The stories will have to stand on their own, so it will be interesting to see!

[@linkloudenback8359]

The X-Men comic line was launched in the late 60’s. Even though it was a fictional story about fictional characters the underlying story arc was about racism and racial issues. This was a opportunity to address social issues and social commentary with out the problems that could have happened to Marvel for doing so.

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

Rogue's power is a curse, from her perspective. While she can (temporarily) copy superpowers, even multiple ones at the same time, her touch is especially dangerous to non-mutants and she can never physically _touch_ people, making her very lonely. Worse, Rogue not only absorbs power(s), she also absorbs _memories_ from her victims... and she can't control that part, she gets other people's memories (potentially traumatic or psychopathic) in her head whether she wants them or not.

[@dju164]

Love some awesome Marvel movies like this that came before the MCU like X-Men, Spider-Man, and some others. Much more fresh stuff, hard to predict, cool to watch

[@danielleefson4005]

Magneto doesn't actually fly, he just manipulates the metal components of his uniform

[@DanielHdGamer]

so I just notice during the train scene that magneto float cause the bottom of his shoes have metal

[@dvus1977]

X-Men (Comics ) was created in 1963. This is an allegorical tale of The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's. Professor Charles Xavier represents Martin Luther King. He was the Pacifist , searching for a way for All Humans & Mutants alike to coexist and live in peace , away from persecution. Hoping that all could learn from one another and work towards a better Future for All. Erik Lenscher represents Malcolm X. Both wanting a world free from Violence against their own kind at the hands of Humans. However both (Erik/Malcom) had a very contrasting, Less Tolerant approach to the problem in comparison to Xavier/King.

[@simonsalgueiro6217]

Cerebro didnt detect Mystique just because Xavier wasn't looking for her. If he had looked for her, he would have found her. Magneto can fly cause he doesn't just control metal, but magnetism. So he can use the Earth's magnetic field to float. Also, Wolverine has higly improved senses, specially hearing and smelling, that's how he knew that wasnt the real Storm.

[@nicolasflesler4467]

he can also just have metal in his shoes xD

The hair is from the original comics. Work your way to X-Men:First Class. It will answer a lot of questions. And, First Class is one of the best X-Men movies.

[@micpar2]

This movie is almost 23 years old. YIKES! I'm old, I remember when the X-Men & Daredevil were considered. Not worth collecting. Until 1975 and the New X-Men came out. And Frank Miller's DD in 79 or 80? I made a killing $$$$$ on all those back issues I had back then. A long with my ten copies of GS X-Men #1, X-Men #94-#160's I had. Bought GS X-Men #1 brand new off the old newsstands for 50 cents. When I was 13 years old. Acquired another nine copies by 1979. I wish I had kept half of those copies now.

Christopher Nolan was I spired to make The Dark Knight because of X Men. It was made realistic and that's what Nolan did, took inspiration from this movie.

Yep it is Marvel... Marvel has made many movies and Tv shows since 2000. But not each one of them is in/connected to the MCU. The MCU only started im 2008. And yep... Deadpool is part of the X-Men franchise.. should have watch these X-Men movies first to understand a lot of references in Deadpool. The reason Magneto is able to float... is as simple as... he is wearing metal clothing... most probably metal boots.

[@justinpeck6015]

The two Fantastic 4 movies from the 2000s are pretty good and think you'll like them.

[@jbmopar1971]

Magneto can float due to the magnet properties of the earth. There are tons of mutants, different levels of power and so on. You guys would benifit getting a marvel encyclopedia or looking up wikis. There's a lot of fun ones too. Like one of the most powerful omega level mutants is Santa Claus, but he's only ultra powerful on Xmas eve. Oh he also is worthy to carry Thors hammer.

[@cteal2018]

The original comics of the X-men were parallel to the Civil Rights movement of the 60's, just change the word "mutant" to "minority"... and then change the Mutant Registration Act, to the deeds that were done in the European concentration camps where the JEWISH people were "registered", and numbered, and finally killed...and you see why Magneto is the way he is...he takes "Never Again" to a whole different level.

[@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.

​@@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

[@kschneyer]

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!"

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.

Surprised you haven't heard of the X-Men before. Back in the early 90s The X-Men was one the KEWLEST comic book issues MARVEL had ever produced... The X-Men was Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's way of dealing with RACISM in America... The Avengers, The Fantastic 4, Spiderman and The X-MEN Was before Disney came and messed everything up part of the same MARVEL UNIVERSE.... HERE ARE THE NAMES OF EACH OF THE MUTANTS OF X-MEN Professor Charles Xavier (Professor X) Level 5 Mutant Mutant power: Psychic and telekinesis.. able to read and or control people's thoughts... Jean Grey: Level 4-5 Mutant: also a fellow psychic and telekinesis, but she's also level 20 mutant do to a hidden power Scott Summers (Cyclops) Level 4 mutant able to fire Red energy beams from his naked eyes... Often wears special glasses 🕶️ which allows him to control and see.. he also has a older brother Alex Summers, (Havok) Level 4 mutant who also shares in a from red energy that flows from his body... Oro Monroe (STORM) from Africa.. Level 5 Mutant able to control all forms of the weather with her mind... Generating anything for a Thunderstorm to a blizzard 🥶 and has the ability to fly.. James Logan (WOLVERINE) Level 4 mutant able to regenerate unlimitedly, with surgically implanted ANAMANTIEM STEEL encasing his entire skeletal make up including with 6 pairs claws in each hand. Wolverine also has heighten senses similar to a wolfs. Marie (Rogue) level 3-4 mutant with the ability to absorb anyone's lightforce Bobby Drake (ICEMAN) Level 4 mutant with the ability to lower his body temperature to just below freezing 🥶 encasing himself in solid ICE 🧊 The premise of both the comics and the movies revolved around the notion that eventually mankind would evolve into either something great, or something terrifying and with the Mutant X gean exploding so rapidly it has now a cause for concern. For the most part, Mutants are just normal people who have very special gifts and Professors X just wants Mutants to live normal lives while putting their abilities in check, but that's not always easy..... Most mutants can't control their abilities and are often seen as a threat. Which is why most "NORMAL PEOPLE" are so fearful. However, there are those like Eric Lenchir (MAGNETO) A LEVEL 5 MUTANT WHO HAS THE ABILITY TO BEND CONTROL METAL AND HARNESS MAGNETIC 🧲 FIELDS who sees them as the NEXT STAGE of human evolution to "HOMO SUPERIOR" he sees to make all mutants the dominant beings on earth and will do everything in his power to do that. Some, use people's Mutations and exploit them, use them in experiments such as WOLVERINE AND DEADPOOL... Now if your interested in wanting to know more about *The X-MEN* then I highly recommend you watch the original 1990 cartoon series because I followed the comic book religiously on Amazon Video Mystic: a level 6 mutant with the ability to shape shift....

Since you watch Deadpool movies, I didn't include that. You should have watched X-Men before Deadpool because you got a spoiler for Logan from Deadpool 2 at the first scene.. WATCH THE X-MEN MOVIES

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.

X-men movies are a bit dated compared to most of the MCU of the special effects but they had some really good ones and some SO-SOs ones. Don’t forget the marvel shows that were first on Netflix like Daredevil and such and probably the best Marvel based series is “LEGION” it’s got a mind blowing story, acting, and cinematography is some if not the best I’ve ever watched. Legion and some of the characters are in both the MCU and the fox/Netflix/FX and they are some of the most powerful and terrifying characters in all of the Marvel universe ✌

X2 was waaaay better in my opinon! But I"m glad you're getting into the Mutant movies... I'll look forward to watching the X2 video!! Nightcrawler is my favorite mutant :)

I love the X Men movies and I hope you do the rest. X2 is really good and X3 is good, not great but worth watching. Also X-Men First Class, Days of Future Past (witch is great) then Apocolypse which is good, not great then Dark Phoenix which you might as well watch. the 3 Wolverine/Logan solo movies are definitely worth watching too. My favorite X-Men character and comic character in general is Logan/Wolverine because of the healing. The relationship between Xavier and Magneto and the chemistry in the actors is fantastic and gets better and the relationship between Wolverine and Xavier becomes very strong too.

It's confusing but as of recently these movies kinda *are connected* now lol. Disney bought Fox, who previously owned Xmen. And some of these characters returned/will return in the MCU

The problem with agreeing with the Senator's ideology in the beginning of the movie is that we are talking about "flawed" man kind. It all starts off as a notion or idea that gets put into law and is then abused. How else do you think Japanese Americans were ushered into camps during the war ? Even the tribalism of todays communities (largely given credit to social media's emergence) results in hatred towards groups of people based on few incidents heard on the news. Not that the news media tells the "whole" truth now days, they merely want high ratings and more viewers. CNN would be burnt to the ground with just the documented inaccuracies they spew much less the grey area's that aren't so well defined.
