[@smockboy]

@@razorsfury6519 1.) In this particular continuity (i.e. First Class through to at least Apocalypse) it's *heavily* implied that Quicksilver is the biological son of Magneto, particularly in the next movie. 2.) Whether or not Magneto is the biological father of Wanda and Pietro Maximoff in the Marvel 616 comics continuity is very much debatable depending on which comics writer has creative control of the plot and which of the *many* retcons regarding their origins that those writers have done over the course of the comics you happen to favour - but even then, regardless of where you land on that, the established lore of the Marvel 616 continuity has little to no bearing on any of the Marvel movie continuities. Almost all of the characters in the X-Men movie franchises have back-stories that differ substantially from their Marvel 616 counterparts.

So what happend was, them changing the past created 2 different timelines. Everything that happened in X Men 1-3 was wiped away as that was the timeline where the sentinels took over. So Jean would be alive as well as Scott etc. It also means that the timeline of the younger cast is split now and takes on it's own version of events.

[@reactswithjax]

That's really fascinating!

[@pthespidey5057]

Yes.. the change in past created whole new backstories for the younger cast which they utilisied by making more movies with younger cast . The only movie which same backstory in original & final timeline was xmen first class since it happens before the timeline changed

As for the government having money to do secret installations, I feel I should quote Julius Levinson (Judd Hirsch) from Independence Day: "You don't actually think they spend $20,000 on a hammer, $30,000 on a toilet seat, do you?" lol

[@billbill6094]

This movie came out a year before Age of Ultron, so it was our first introduction to Quicksilver on the big screen. It was actually a little disappointing when he appeared in the MCU, a little less interesting and killed off super early, the X-Men version is usually considered the better portrayal and it's why it was so HUGE when the actor came to play him in the MCU. But fun fact, both Quicksilvers had acted on-screen together before in the superhero film series Kick-Ass. AoU Quicksilver, Aaron Taylor Johnson, played Kick-Ass while X-Men Quicksilver, Evan Peters, played one of his best friends turned hero Ass-Kicker. The sentinels are probably the most famous X-Men "antagonist", they're usually giants about as tall as a building and are almost impossible to defeat. The island of Genosha, which was a nation that was a haven for mutants, was beset upon by sentinels and it caused the deaths of 16.5 million mutants. It was the first and biggest mutant genocide, that 16.5 was out of only 17.5. The mutants battling to stop future dystopias is kind of common in Marvel. The future is always extremely _bleak._ In this storyline Kitty was the one who travelled to the past.

[@acwolf92]

Funny Trivia: in the x-men universe whenever there's a dystopian future Logan's always the last to die lol

[@clash5j]

This film is based on one of the most famous X-Men comic book arcs. In the comics, it's actually Kitty that goes back in time

[@reactswithjax]

Ooh! That's really interesting. I love Kitty's character.

[@michaelpytel3280]

@@reactswithjax In the comics Kitty does not have the power of time travel mind swapping, that power comes from Phoenix. Not Jean Grey, but her daughter Rachel Summers AKA Phoenix 2 , Rachel sends Kitty back in time and later time travels herself ( she time travels since this is before Rachel was born.) . The story is similar to Terminator. Time Travel to change the past to stop the killer robots of the future. Kitty can walk through walls and become intangible so almost nothing can hurt her. Wolverine taught Kitty martial arts.

[@KthulhuXxx]

@@reactswithjax As someone who's a big Kitty Pryde fan, I hate that both of the pop culture adaptations of the storyline either reduce her to a plot device (this film) or completely omit her altogether (the old animated series). She's one of the best characters of the franchise in the comics, IMO.

[@KthulhuXxx]

@@michaelpytel3280 A bit of a correction: at the time Rachel wasn't written as a Phoenix host, not was she even refereed to as Scott or Jean's daughter. She was just a mutant named Rachel who's power let her send Kitty's mind back into her past self.

Don't forget, Jean can read minds too, at that moment I believe she read Logan's thoughts and memories

[@qjinx1]

The Congressman @ 11:50 mentioning Cuba is Len Wein. He is the guy that created Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Storm, Colossus (The metal guy) and a couple others not present in the movies, one being the older brother of Warpath ( who spots the sentinels) I was friends with Len and talked Marvel characters with him every week because he hung out at the comic book shop in the San Fernando Valley where I worked. He even appeared in one of my fan movie shorts for Wizard magazine.

[@reactswithjax]

That is so cool! Thanks for pointing him out!

[@yodudeyo100]

​@@reactswithjaxAlso, the guy who says there hasn't been an incident in ten years is Chris Claremont. He shaped the X-MEN into who we know them as today. After the single issue that Len did that introduced Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Wolverine and such to the X-Men Claremont took over and wrote X-Men for the next 16 years straight. He wrote the original Days of Future Past story, The Phoenix saga, created Rogue, Gambit, Kitty, Jubilee and many more. He is also responsible for giving Magneto his Jewish backstory and friendship with Xavier. And so much more.

P.S. There's only one thing that this movie left me hugely wanting. They gave us the best that Wolverine has looked yet - in that awesome future suit featuring bits of yellow, and with the grey streaks in his hair and the adamatium claws back - but we never got to see him in action against the sentinels. Plotwise makes sense, but such a darn shame.

It's interesting to see how the sentinel ignored Bishop and went straight to Storm. They knew she was the biggest threat of the group

[@Michael-dy2lb]

"Whose orders do you follow?" You follow the orders given to you in your chain of command. Orders are supposed to move vertically up and down the chain of command, not across it. For example, if you were given an order by your division officer (a lieutenant) and the department head of a different department who was a commander (talking about the Navy) gave you an order as well, you could do both. If they countered each other, you would follow your division officer's order, and preferably explain this to the commander and ask him to speak with the division officer. That's how it's supposed to work.

[@PrinceIMC]

I kinda understand that the more metal and the stronger the natural magnetic fields around Magneto the greater his range. That’s why this prison and the plastic prison from X-Men and X2 can hold him. But when he goes to the north or south magnetic poles he can affect the whole world.

[@mahgeetahh]

Wolverine in the "past" wouldn't disappear because it is still his original 1973 body, only his future mind is in it

[@angelohernandez6060]

While this film is great, it's not perfect. One big flaw is that sending people back in time is not in her power base. She phases through solid matter. Nothing to do with time manipulation. All of a sudden she has a new power. HUH?! In the original comic Kitty has just joined the X-MEN like I believe a few weeks before these events. In the future they send Kitty to the past not Woverine and what convinces them that it is Kitty from the future (because it was her mind not her body that was sent to her younger self) was her reaction to Nightcrawler. Present day Kitty was always uncomfortable around Kurt(Nightcrawler) because of his Demonic appearance. She's a sweet Jewish girl after all. When older Kitty saw him she hugged him and was so glad to see him because he had died in the battle in the future. And still doesn't explain her new power. The alternate "Rogue cut" of this film has a better scenario for the time travel. In that version Rogue absorbs someone's ability for time manipulation and combines it with telepathy to send Logans mind to his past self. Much better than Kitty pulling a new power out of her tail.

[@sandrorocha790]

It doesn't make any sense that the Stryker at the end is Mystique. After all, Stryker really took Logan to do experiments.

[@glennwelsh9784]

To be fair, there is *some* continuity in the X-Men world. Problem is, they don't do a great job maintaining it from movie to movie. The X-Men series kicked off well before the MCU made super-strict adherence to continuity across an entire shared cinematic universe a major selling point for movie franchises. So filmmakers would come and go within the franchise and were primarily concerned with telling the stories they wanted to tell, and there wasn't someone overseeing it all and keeping track of the little details from movie to movie to make sure they all added up. The X-Men movies also had to do some course correction when things weren't going well for the series.

[@jhilal2385]

Magneto's power is not magnetic. He controls metals through some handwavium method. If he truly just affected magnetic fields, then he would only be able to control iron, steel, steel alloys, and other ferrous alloys. He would not be able to affect bullets (lead, antimony, & sometimes copper), aluminum, brass, bronze, tin, uranium, bismuth, sintered ceramics, etc. nor semi-metallic elements like silicon.

[@jhilal2385]

@justingary5322 what's not true? that bullets are non-ferrous? go back to re-take junior high science class.

[@PhilBagels]

Yep. Something I've been saying for years. He controls metal, regardless of whether it's magnetic or not. I can only assume that way back in the day, Stan Lee or Chris Claremont or whoever, didn't really know that much about magnetism, and didn't realize that not all metals are affected by magnetic fields.

[@michaelpytel3280]

You're thinking only of Ferromagnetism not Diamagnetism and Paramagnetism. Non ferrous metals and non metals can be temporarily magnetic under strong magnetic fields. Electricity and magnetism are connected, anything with an electric current can have a magnetic field and vice versa. Each electron on an atom acts like a magnet. Even Hydrogen atoms in water can act like magnets in MRI machines and Tokamak Fusion reactors.

[@callmeshaggy5166]

@@michaelpytel3280 I'm also (almost) certain atom colliders use magnetism to guide atomic particles through their circular structure at near-light speeds. On the other end, ferrous metals can also be made unreactive to magnetism, typically by heating.

Days of Future Past is arguably the greatest superhero movie ever made. It's smart, slick and tight. Every time I watch this movie, I have the same reactions to everything that happens and Ive seen Days of FuturePast many times since it first came out. Its almost as if James Cameron made it himself. 🤔 Days of Future Past is a timeless masterpiece. The Quicksilver scenes alone put this movie on another level. Everyone went into this movie expecting to hate him and his look. But thanks to expert craftsmanship, Quicksilver INSTANTLY won over almost everyone. Then Evan Peters totally earns all the love with his delivery of lines like "WhipLAAASH." The timeless complexity of the Paris Peace Conference scene is another great example of why Days of Future Past is the best. There is so much going on in one scene, it could be super easy for the audience to get lost. But the craftsmanship of the scene holds everything together, despite all of the tension and emotions.

The whole “code word” discussion has me pausing the video in disbelief, for I have never considered nor heard of anyone combining the words “Charming” and “Insane” together in a sentence. Until now. You are Charmingly Insane.

[@reactswithjax]

Haha! Why, thank you!

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Lol, I have a ‘time travel code word’ too🤣

Regarding Wolvie drowning. In the comics at least it's said that when Logan drowns he literally asphyxiates, dies, heals, regains consciousness, asphyxiates, dies, heals etc., in a continuous cycle. He would eventually die from his cells running out of energy though.

Exactly perfect comparison at 36:22 great reaction to this masterpiece of an X Men movie. You read my mind at 38:00

[@sample.text.]

Quicksilver is far and away the greatest character in these newer X-Men movies imo. His scenes are 💋Chef's Kiss.

[@reactswithjax]

He is amazing!

[@seefitch4601]

Another great reaction Jax! Your face when you saw Cyclops was priceless! Haha! It's hard to top this film...but...Deadpool, Logan & Deadpool 2 are some of my fave films for a reason! You're in for a real treat!

[@reactswithjax]

Thank you! I'm really looking forward to Logan!

[@seefitch4601]

@@reactswithjax I'm sure you are aware. It is way more violent & dramatic than the previous films. Keep Lamby close! P.S. - You are too cute!

[@thatperformer3879]

@@reactswithjax FYI, Logan is an alternate universe from any of the other X-Men movies, so don't get confused on why things do not align with the events of this movie in that film.

[@anthonydean1743]

Pietro & Wanda are his twin children, and he does have a younger daughter Polaris with green hair with his powers in the comics and various animated series, there was also a live action series The Gifted in 2017 set some time after The Last Stand movie with Polaris rescuing mutants with the help of Thunderbird and Blink that we see I the future.

[@dimitryanyanwu7681]

The sound effects makes the reaction 10 times more hilarious love your reactions Jax 😂

[@reactswithjax]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the sound effects!!!

[@anthonydean1743]

Mystique first appearing to Xavier as a child shows how much she can't really be trusted because she is much older then that. Mystique does not have healing abilities like Logan but her powers do allow her to keep her cells young prolonging her life, she is as old as Logan maybe even older. There are comics about Logan and Mystique knowing each other back in the west and have even been lovers at times before having his memories wiped, but Mystique constantly double crossing him gives Logan a natural distrust of her even if he doesn't remember her.

[@TheOldest]

One thing they don't explain in the movies about Quicksilver is that his powers don't have an on/off switch. He perception of reality being slow is constant, in the comics it gives him a very irritable attitude.

[@MattKeller]

At least you finally know why the Fox version of Quiksilver showing up many years later in WandaVision was such a big deal after the Fox acquisition. If you like this cast merging just wait until you start watching the Star Trek movies. You dont even need to watch the shows like most reactors do the movies are enough on their own. I'm also hoping you watch Hawkeye soon if you haven't already but that one may never leave Patreon if you do.

[@reactswithjax]

Seeing Quicksilver was so fun!! I haven't gotten to Hawkeye yet but I'm looking forward to seeing it!

[@gabriellin1352]

This is the peak movie in whole X-Men franchise so far. And the next one will be the peak of Magneto’s power shown in whole X-Men franchise so far😊

[@jarodM6]

Other than this movie existing I like to imagine these X-Men movies with the younger castand the 3 X-Men movies are in a completely different universe.

[@IamNinjaOfNinja]

17:33 the irony is that the reactor herself sounds like a robot even at the most intense moments haha

Maybe I am a robot.

42:35 Even knowing that there are so many plot holes in the franchise, you CAN still piece it together as such: 3600 BC - X-Men: Days of Future Past (Post credit scene) 1845 - 1944 - X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Until World War II footage in opening credits montage) 1944 - X-Men First Class (Erik in prison camp, Charles meets Raven) 1945 (Plot hole) - The Wolverine (Intro - saves Ichirō Yashida at Nagasaki) 1962 - X-Men: First Class (Main body of the film) 1971ish-1981 - X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Rest of the film) 1986 - (Plot hole) - X3: The Last Stand (Charles and Erik visit young Jean Grey) 1996 - X3: The Last Stand (Young Angel is caught by father trying to cut his wings) 2000 - X-Men 2003 - X2: United 2006 - X3: The Last Stand (Rest of film) 2013 - The Wolverine (Rest of the film) 2014 - The Wolverine (Post credit scene) 2023 - X-Men: Days of Future Past (All the future stuff) I did not include "X-Men: Days of Future Past" for 1973, because THAT 1973 is a result of 2023's Logan's interaction. I also did not include anything AFTER 2023 since you haven'y watched any further than THIS movie so far.

The three mile island incident was blown out of proportion by Hollywood. No one died, and the amount of radiation released was about the same as a chest x-ray.

2014, big superhero movie year. But after introducing Guardians of The Galaxy and awaiting the return of the Avengers in the MCU, Marvel/Fox's Children of The Atom were just getting warmed up. Based on a classic storyline from 1981 that pre-dates The Terminator (believe it or not). The end-credits of The Wolverine (2013) showing the name "Trask" drove people (us fans) nuts because most of us knew who he was, what he would make and where the fate of the universe was going. Bryan Singer (pre-controversy, y'all know why) to direct this 5th movie of the series aka "X4" was unprecedented. Blending the castmembers of old and new became such a blast. Introducing newer characters in both eras to greatly effect history was perfect. As always, the constant tones of the film series endure. Good and evil, prejudice and tolerance, grief and faith, similarity and difference. The hallmarks of the comics, 50 years old at the time, being interpreted as they suppose to be. There is an alternate version known as The Rogue cut (2015) which is the complete version of the film that clearly makes it the biggest X-Men film ever. It broke several Box office records and became the highest-grossing X-Men film for 2 years, dethroning X3:The Last Stand. From here, the evolution goes into overdrive. You are going to love the next 3 films.
