we watched the OG X-Men movie and it's actually AMAZING...

[@TheMimic12]

Fun trivia about this movie: The makers of the 90s X-Men cartoon were big fans of the comics so they filled the show with references, so much so that Bryan Singer binged the entire show to prep for the movie. He also banned comics from the set, but Hugh Jackman wanted to read comics for better inspiration of his character, so a production assistant named Kevin Feige snuck him comics on set.

And if I recall he had Hugh had no idea what a Wolverine was and thought it was some sort of mystical wolf creature. No one bother to tell him. And Hugh mimicked his mannerism off of wolves. It was only on set when he was asked why he was acting that way, he told them about his wolves study. When questioned why not Wolverine, he said they weren’t real.

A lot of people complained about the lack of color in their suits. But for the first movies, i think the black costumes work well. Since because of the prejudice against them, they are forced to hide and work in the shadows. I know the point of the X-men is to not be afraid to show who you are, but as a prelude to that, it works.

[@eg_manifest510]

6:30 that's basically "Bundle of sticks with an axe in it, Mr Moustache incorporated"-ism 101. If you convince everybody they're better than one other group of people, then you'll be able to convince the "superior group" to work together, preferably under you so you get more power. Which is probs why Magneto seems so justified in his hatred of humanity, given his past with "Mr Moustache"-ism And using Ozymandias was a good example for this same concept, except he made everybody hate nonexistent aliens rather than one arbitrarily chosen human group

[@shorewall]

It's human nature. You can only get humans to work together if you have a common enemy. If there is no common enemy, then humans easily realize that they are each other's competitors, and there is infighting. If there are two people, they will compete. If there is 3, then 2 will team up against the 1. Hitler scapegoated the Jews, Stalin scapegoated the Bourgeoisie, USA scapegoated the Japanese and Nazis, then the commies. When the USSR fell, there was no reason for NATO, and the West felt aimless. Now we have Russia and China as potential threats, but not everyone is on board, so there isn't as much unity.
