X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST (Mutant Extinction, Unstoppable Sentinels + Ending) EXPLAINED

[@Achillez098]

They did a fantastic job making the Sentinels terrifying. Imagine training your whole life as a mutant, mastering your powers for combat, only for a Sentinel to adapt to your mutation instantly and delete you with minimal effort...

[@shainewhite2781]

The Rogue Cut is extraordinary! I love the extended edition of the movie, giving us more background on what happened to Rogue, and how she helps her friends save the world.

[@FernandoMartinez-pv1id]

I like the original better. Mainly because Bobby is the last person to die before everything is reset and you can feel how heartbroken and hipeless Kitty Pride is as she watches him. The Rogue Cut felt forced.

[@Michaelkayslay]

Haven't seen rogue cut. What was the rogue story part?

[@FernandoMartinez-pv1id]

@Michaelkayslay Rogue is in it to take over for Kitty Pride. Bobby dies earlier which was a terrible idea, then Rogue and Kitty are the last ones in the room before Wolverine finishes his mission.

[@whitleypedia]

The Sentinels are using Rogue's powers not Mystiques, but Jennifer Lawrence was a bigger actress at the time.

[@jaed3183]

It could’ve been more but the added scene of Wolverine and Storm showing love and kissing 🥹🥹🥹

[@BaoNguyen-bh2rk]

The opening fight scene was the best show of team coordination in a Marvel movie. And they barely held the Sentinels off.

[@Miguel-xq5ib]

I love the opening scene, the sentinels were absolutely terrifying!

[@LegendaryDarkKnight602]

I like the scene when one of the Nimrods tried to kill the portal girl, turns around and thrusts his javelin arm through the portal right before it closed, stabbing her in the back. That kind of adaptation didn't need powers.

[@CarlRicesCampo]

@@Miguel-xq5ib The music made it even more terrifying...

[@rogueascendant6611]

This is probably the best rendition version of Sentinels I've ever seen than the animated Wolverine and X-Men (2009). The way this mechanical abominations adapt so quickly to counter their target is jaw dropping. They are 100x worse than the Terminators as humanity wouldn't have a fighting chance against this kind of machines. Mutants at least can only prolong their survival but not for a very long time.

[@jermaine8573]

I will agree Days Future Past was probably hands down the very best X-Men movie period with X2-United easily as close 2nd , them dam sentinels were terrifying

[@5Ci0N]

First Class was pretty amazing too. It wasnt perfect, no X-Men film is.

[@ItsGamingFancy]

Probably hands down the very best?

[@TalosBjorn]

Nah, First Class beats both of them

[@TheRoguePrince0]

I wonder how the Sentinels would adapt to luck.

[@tylerdurden788]

A bad luck field. Like black cats power

[@GregorioTavarez-qb2qd]

Considering they just use the opposite of whatever power they are facing you can guess what they might do

[@jackolantern147]

Well. Donino was among those killed, so I would assume they had a way.

[@hazio7574]

​not really, they mimiced some of the powers. There are powers that they cannot mimiced

[@ridgefrost]

​@jackolantern147 is this an assumption or is it noted in the list of dead mutants?

[@CalmBlueSea]

Not exactly reprogrammed them. He puts steel inside of the past Sentinels to gain control over them.

[@hunterunknwn]

what's also terrifying about these sentinels is that they started hunting humans too at some point , humans that could have x gene in the future or offsprings. it's basically Skynet all over again lol

[@flyboyarch6776]

Seeing colossus get bodied like never sat right with me😂

[@retsaMinnavoiG]

It makes sense though... he's super tough and he's super strong but he's no Hulk or one of those similar physical power houses. Only the very most powerful mutants even have a chance against these advanced Sentinels and force isn't the way to do it.

[@deeya]

We went from this to Apocalypse, and then Dark Phoenix. WTF?! How could you fumble so badly?!

[@Haspei7]

I remembered leaving the theater with my friends after watching the movie and one of them asked me: "So what do you think of the movie?". I said: "It's probably the best x-men movie ever made until now". Then another friend asked me: "why?". I said: "Because it felt like watching a long episode from TAS". Then another friend said that x-men 2 was still better.🤔

[@Brody26]

The only problem with the film is Rogue being cut. The sentinels were using HER powers not Mystique's.

[@vtn05001]

it was a mix of both, Rogue with the powers, Mystique with the physical

[@titomartinez3227]

That made no sense... They kinda use Darwin's powers.

[@indahf.freztiyana824]

Well, the three have different basic properties, Rogue is absorption, Mystique is mimicry while Darwin is super adaptive... Seems like the future Sentinels are literally combinations of the three...

[@Arashi257]

​@@indahf.freztiyana824Unless they found another mutant similar to him, there would be no way for them to get even his dna, since Shaw basically disintegrated him.

[@venveng]

What destroyed the X-Men franchise is the trying to make Mystic a main/ relevant character.

[@Kel.L.Anderson]

I agree. Mystique is a straight up evil villain. And they changed her character just because Jennifer Lawrence was playing her. Who was America’s sweetheart at the time. I disliked how Cyclops took a back seat to her .

They made Sentinels absolutely terrifying. I wish the MCU did the same with Ultron, but he was just a joke.

Best X-men movie!!!!!!!!!!!

[@robertagu5533]

I loosely remember this arc or anything having to do with Sentinels and/or the future in the ole cartoon show as being some the overall best an coolest arcs in the x-men franchise. Its like an alternate apocalypse scenario in this particular arc except Logan didn't cause this one and might be its only savior ... no pressure, Logan cant seem to catch a break. Poor X-men too, seems one wouldnt want to have powers AND be an X-men faction member too given in these later/latest arcs an stories have a pretty high mortality rate an by the end even in the best timelines for the x-men apparently had decimated mortality rates.

Do you mean wolverine and the xmen?

[@robertagu5533]

I do remember these arcs as being some the best, coolest, an typically the pre time travel parts an world before always being very bad for the X-men. Whom are hinted at in enough of them that they tend to take quite a few casualties over the years. Between 1st class an "the end" which changed whom knows how many times now.

[@Lordship1021]

Magneto could’ve saved his race by just taking over the sentinels and instead of invading with them, make it look like they malfunctioned and targeted humans so that the project never makes it off the ground

[@LinkMaster5555]

[@OneMarz]

Happy you went back over this. I love days of futures past and to talk about it. The stakes were taken very serious with the sentinels it was almost a horror movie for mutants! Edit: also quicksilver 😁

Great video as always. I wouldn't mind seeing an in depth video on dark pheonix

[@neofulcrum5013]

The sentinels were absolutely menacing

[@TheRealReVeLaTioN]

Around 1:50 So when Wolverine asked what if someone could heal their mind as quick as it’s being torn apart, he meant brain instead of mind? Or is the mind a physical attribute? I remember the movie specifically stating how sending someone back that far in time would rip their minds to shreds (I guess you can say pun intended). Matter of fact, the movie says absolutely nothing about the process having any kind of toll on the physical body (considering it’s not the physical body being sent back in time). Don’t mind me, I’ve always thought that didn’t make sense in this movie because if Wolverine’s mind could heal like his body does he wouldn’t have needed Professor X to help him regain his memories that were lost due to William Stryker.

Would kill to fight these Sentinel Xs in a videogame: An unpredictable adaptable enemy makes a great challenge. Especially if the ai is top tier.

[@The_whimsickal_artist]

I love the X-Men..since i was a young. Days of Future past is one of my favourite stories from Claremont and Byrne. This film was absolutely brilliant in every way...the rogue cut was perfect. Except for the film Logan, this film caused a lot of unwanted anxiety in me😅 the sentinels were frightening. I still think they were way to over powered.. to adapt to any mutant threat...a robot who won't or can't die seems to much.. sunspot alone should have destroyed them, i mean he has the power of the sun. But i get it, its easier to go back in time to stop this whole thing. Still a great film. Xmen 97 is really awesome. I can't wait for season 2. I thought rogues power would make sense for the sentinels to adapt. Raven can just mimic,but am i missing something with Raven? Can she mimic powers as well? Good video mate, 👍🏻 nice one, cheers.

[@Adarkane325xi]

The movie is really a masterpiece, and remains one of my favorites. It’s because the film actually has stakes. It has the Mega-Happy Ending (Wayne’s World), but the characters have earned it. The top Superhero films used to be “Superman: The Movie,” Tobey’s “Spiderman 2,” and “The Dark Knight,” but “Days of Future Past” has to be included in that list. Plus “Infinity War” and “End Game” - which is basically one 6hr movie (characters being at their lowest - Act 2 - at the end of IW and the beginning of EG).

[@nuclearrabbit03]

Sunspot’s powers look so cool in the film

[@LukeLovesRose]

More people need to do an in depth analysis of this superhero masterpiece. I really have my doubts that Bryan Singer made this movie so great. I strongly believe that he used the beautifully detailed storyboards by James Cameron. There are a lot of visual tropes that make Cameron films so timeless. Look at Jack The Giant Killer and Superman Returns next to this near perfect movie. The difference compared to Days of Future Past is like night and day. X-Men Days of Future Past is way better and far more powerful than the source material IMO. Even the title makes more sense. In my opinion, Days of Future Past is Infinity War and Endgame for grownups.
