24:30 Charles is a twin, but when he and his twin were developing in the womb and Charles' mutant gene developed and activated first, his immense psychic ability actually drained away the consciousness of his twin, leaving him a blank slate. The twin, as you can imagine, has the same mutant power but only one of them had the chance to develop. When Jean killed Charles in his original body, he used his powers just before dying to transfer his consciousness to his twin's body since it was just a blank husk.

So not only, did she miss the post credit scene but the few lines and reference to the situation in the middle of the film goes by really fast, blink and you can miss it. Oh... P.S.

I feel like The reason Eric hasn’t “figured out he makes everything worse” is because that’s been his goal the whole time. Charles wants to coexist and prove that mutants aren’t a threat to anyone and should be treated as equals but Eric believes that they aren’t equals and that there can’t be coexistence and wants to force Conflict between the two. everything he does in this movie is in service of that, Mutants need to rule the world and humans need to be afraid.

The Sentinels in this movie are way scarier and deadlier than in the comics. This movie is one of the few times when they actually improve upon something in the comics. In the comics, the Sentinels were often rather goofy and too easily taken down. Heck, there was one time in the comics where a Sentinel simply dropped dead because a random beam of light overloaded its sensors. This movie is also surprisingly accurate to the comics. The main difference is that Mystique was trying to assassinate Senator Kelly, not Bolivar Trask. Kitty sent herself back her younger self rather than sending Wolverine. And in the comics the Sentinels only took over the US, not the entire world. Still, this is one of the greatest comic book movies ever made. In fact, 2014 was a really great movie year. What I also love is that this is (and MAYBE X3) the only movie that does justice to Storm and shows her being a great leader and uses her powers in an interesting way (like creating a massive blizzard to slow down the Sentinel carriers, charging up Bishop and combing her power with Magneto's to take down a horde of Sentinels). The whole teamwork the mutants show against the future Sentinels is really creative and effective. Also, Charles can't freeze time. He can just put people's minds on pause. Also, Magneto throws the stadium on the White House specifically because he believes there's no chance of humans ever accepting mutants. So he attacks the president to make an example and trying to inspire mutants to revolt.

I've watched a couple reactions to this, but I realized that epilogue is just not going to be the same for someone who hasn't been watching and loving the X-Men series for years. Who suffered through #3 and some bad spinoffs, and saw the pretty-good-but-still-not-the-same _First Class._ Who gave up on seeing that world and those characters again. Then this ending comes along and grabs your heart, and unwrites those years of losing the original XMU characters. It's a dream.

It’s weird. I really liked this film but because the ending was such a satisfying resolution to the storyline it kind of killed my interest in seeing any additional “team” X-Men movies.

I haven't seen A or DP for that exact same reason. Same goes for Indiana Jones (I've seen Crystal Skull, but my head canon is that the series ended with Last Crusade), Harry Potter (I haven't had anything to do with Cursed Child, or whatever it's called) and many other series. I'm happy with the way it ended, anything else is optional DLC (like anything after IW:End Game so far).

[@guerillagrueplays6301]

Apocalypse isn't a bad film IMO. It does a good job of representing the development of the later team, and while it's a bit on-the-nose with some of its points at times, it's a lot of fun, and I do recommend it: it's not so much a continuation of the stories as it is a link to tie the prequels more fully back around to the original film(s.)

Most of the questions you have about inconsistencies is because the things you think happened in the future, changed the moment they went back in time so the first three x men movies essentially didn't happen the moment they changed time. I hope that helps!

I believe the explanation for Charles surving to this film after his body was destroyed in The Last Stand is that he had an identical twin brother than was brain dead but still allive, and he has taken over that body, which you see him wake up in an end credit sceen of The Last Stand, I think it is why Charles appears to give up fighting Jean in his death sceen, because he is transferring his own consciousness to his brother's body

[@erichb4530]

sure, fine this convenient brother never mentioned in any of the movies (but I guess in the Comics because that format of course needs neverending storylines).. but if that's the explanation, why didn't they actually EXPLAIN IT IN THE MOVIE? he just SHOWED UP, and we're supposed to ask comic book fanboys to explain it to us? that's always been a huge stupid wrinkle in these otherwise really enjoyable movies.

[@Cariad1709]

@@erichb4530 I think that is just lazy writing, they needed it to happen, so it did, and just didn't explain it properly. It just seems something you find out by being told from other sources like I did, or by just trying to figure it out yourself.

"Disclaimer: I didn't see the Rogue Cut..." And many of us hadn't; but if the numbers are up and you release it here in KZbin, it would be a pleasure to take that particular film ride with you :). As you've mentioned: it's a bit hard to keep up, not only with the chronologies but also with the versions. Some were released alongside the "original version", some were released years later... one can't be sure if the extended versions or the new cuts add something else to the original story unless one asks in advance if they are worth it, so yeah: it's comprehensible. But don't be too hard with your selection, basically if you are "reacting for the first time" to Marvel Films, you are following the path every single person had to follow when the films first came out: the theathrical version first, and later on the discovery of extended cuts XD. "Avoiding spoilers" also implicates not knowing how good the existing extended cuts out there really are. "It's less gross when the claws are covered in Adamantium" It should be noted too that with the Adamantium cover they pierce through the skin more easily, in theory XD. And the sound is more metallic, not bone going through flesh :P. "Erick! Why you think killing her is better?" Because he doesn't know (and has never been really convinced) of the "middle ground". If Mystique was the key to develop the Sentinels of the future, that danger will always be with her for as long as she lives. How do you really make sure there is no way shape shifting technollogy is developed around her skills? Erasing her from the map. That plan has several flaws, but Erick sees it in the short time: no Mystique, no powers, no threaths to the mutants. "Natalie Gold's funny unintended expression" If those are a lot, they could make a nice little clip for the end of the year; with any remarkable bloopers XD. Just saying :P. "How cool it would be some things of the past movies and the plot could be undone" Wait for it... And yeah! Allow me to introduce you to the concept of "retconning" that comics use whenever they want to undo crazy stuff or bring back characters meant to be dead XD. It's nicely done here, though, since many of the choices were not well received in the past movies and so far there has not been any film featuring the 2000's original cast, but it was nice to see them back (basically undoing several things of the past films). And Jean has always been a redhead, but yeah, the first films don't boost her hair color a lot XD. And that would be it, nothing much to add to this reaction; it was great :). See you in the next one.

[@drakocarrion]

The reason Professor X looks the same despite having switched bodies is explained in Xmen 3. When you see Moira McTaggert she is caring for Charles's twin who was born without consciousness. When he "died" he transferred his own consciousness into his twin.

[@georgeturner6234]

Just so you get it, in x men last stand the unconscious body in the video with the doctor is Charles identical twin brother, born brain dead because charles' mind was so powerful, and thats the body he transferred his consciousness into the instant before Jean killed him

[@jonmercano1138]

Eh, the Rogue Cut’s not necessary. It’s pretty good but the theatrical is fine. Not to say don’t watch it, go ahead. Kitty being able to send someone’s mind back in time is an extension of her phasing power I still remember watching this movie for the first time, watching Charles tie his arm and get out a needle and being like “Whoa! Whoa! WTF?!” And then sighing in relief when Hank says it’s a serum to treat his spine Trask was technically in X Men before. In Last Stand played by Bill Dukes as the head of the DHS and aid to the president during the war with the mutants. First name never said. On top of that, the giant robot they were fighting in the danger room in Last Stand had a more comic accurate Sentinel look. Or at least the head did. In the comics it actually is the case that Quicksilver’s perspective is everyone else going super slow. He compares it to being stuck behind someone who’s taking forever at an ATM, all the time The screenwriter speculated that Kennedy's mutant power manifested as a telepathic form of persuasion. The inconsistencies started with First Class. Remember in Last Stand when Xavier and Erik meet young Jean? Charles was already bald, yet still walking, and Erik was with him, implying their time as allies was a lot longer than depicted in FC. And in the first movie Charles says Magneto found some way to block his telepathy, not saying it’s the helmet, yet in FC he clearly sees Erik wearing it and knows he can’t get past it I’m sorry, it’s hilarious to me that you went so long thinking he was freezing time and not just the people. Like even in first class when he freezes a guy at the water fountain the water is still going 😂 It was his twin brother’s body he took over The look of the rebar in Logan is reminiscent of a moment in the comics when Magneto rips the adamantium out of him. Jean has always had red her. Though it was more vibrant when she was Pheonix En Sabah Nur with his _Four Horsemen_ in the background. His name translates to “The First One.” It’s not the name he’s generally known by. You’ll learn it.

Quicksilver was a difficult character in the comics. I think the movie treatment was brilliant, if a little overpowered. The music in his big scene was "Time in a Bottle", a 1973 hit by Jim Croce. Jim was a genius who was taken from us far too young. This was his biggest hit during his lifetime, but perhaps his more enduring legacy was "Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown".

I'll say this - Natalie, *NEVER* apologise for working to a schedule that allows you to have reasonable personal time. You provide a source of entertainment that we all enjoy, but while you try to entertain us, we all appreciate that you have a life to balance. If ever there's a time to recognise that people on Social Media, be it KZbin, Instagram or whatever, are people who take time out of their lives for our entertainment, most of who are balancing that alongside their actual jobs, and need to be able to relax, rest up and take time like the rest of us do then it's in a post-Covid world. Taking time off and watching the movies in a way that suits your schedule is your right and if that's what works best for you, keep on doing it. You can always watch different versions at another time and react to them and their differences. I'm sure that most of your subscribers and viewers are reasonable people, it always seems that way.

Main issue with the theatrical cut is it doesn't explain how the Sentinels can absorb powers. It's the capture of, and experiments on, Rogue that allows this- and is therefore the reason why they were able to subjugate humanity. Essentially Rogue's powers are the key to the basic premise of the plot.
