X-Men (2000) Pitch Meeting

Step into the pitch meeting that started the X-Men franchise! Subscribe to our channel: goo.gl/ho3Hg6
Years before the Marvel Cinematic Universe started and the superhero craze really kicked into high gear, Fox struck gold with the X-Men franchise, introducing the film world to amazing mutant characters like Wolverine, Professor X, Rogue, Cyclops, Mystique, Magneto, Sabretooth, Rogue, Storm and many more. The movie was enough to kick off a whole series of movies spanning over two decades, but that doesn’t mean it’s not without its questionable decisions. What’s up with Xavier not using Cerebro or his powers to their full potential? Why is Magneto so selfish with his anti-telepathy helmets? Why is Storm so bad at cracking jokes? To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to the year 2000’s X-Men movie! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Lol for those who don't know, there's a bunch of scrapped scenes throughout the movie where Toad would state random facts about toads and be like..."Do you know what happens to a toad when ______?" lol and in the end Storm got annoyed and said that infamous line before striking him with lightning, and tbh it would've been WAY more badass if the other scenes weren't deleted lol.

I like to think the whole reason he's doing the Newton's cradle thing is to practice his control. If you remember his origin story, he learned his powers in a very traumatic moment and used them in a big way, but had trouble using them in small ways for quite a while. Manually controlling a Newton's cradle to that much precision at all times past exercise quite a bit of control on his part. I like to believe he practices control as sort of a post-traumatic coping mechanism to assure himself he's not that same person he was as a kid.
