I will never forgive Fox for treating Cyclops as a side character. He is the leader of the team, the Captain America for the X-men. MCU Cyclops should be like the X-men '97 version. Badass leader, who can do hand to hand combat, who utilizes his laser beam, and that SUPERHERO LANDING is 🔥

15:15 I thought the Apoc Quicksilver sequence was better. Time didn’t stop and the explosion is faster than people so I was on the edge of my seat and I constantly rewatch. The first Quicksilver scene in DOFP seems more like time was frozen and while cool, there doesn’t seem to be any ticking clock to worry about.

[@ExtremeYouTubeWatcher]

Fr, Apocalypse really showed how his powers would work. Time never fully stopped, he was just that fast. But also not fast enough to save Alex Summers who was close to the explosion.

[@Bman32x]

He also played around too much and didn’t save everyone in time. Of course I was tired of them using Havok as the older Summers brother instead of Vulcan & never had the summers brothers meet so it was whatever.

[@Marvelousgamer7697]

It's been fun revisiting all these movies before Deadpool and Wolverine! It was awesome to see the journey of how these movies grew and evolved over the course of the Fox era, even if they had some low points. The really high points really made it all worth it. Some of those points will always go down as some of my favorite X-Men moments ever.

[@MusicLover-my6fo]

I actually think X-Men Origins Wolverine wasn't that bad. I think it gets a bad rep just because of the third act. The only thing I don't like about the film is that it's never explained why Victor doesn't remember Logan in the first X-Men film since he never got shot with adamantium bullets, so by all accounts it's a bit of a "plot hole."

[@jorgej.cruzhernandez9247]

He was, probably, experimented on, triggering his secondary mutation (the more feral look) and doesn't remember much, but he still has a fixation with Logan's dog tags 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@jeremyachristensen]

I think there's an interview somewhere where they were asked this and their response was that it's two separate characters. In their minds "Victor" in Wolverine is a completely different person from "Sabretooth" in XMen

[@NewRockstars]

We did it this way because, honestly, other ways of announcing rankings suck. They just beg viewers to turn off their brains and begin shouting at the first sign of disagreement. If you want to see the full ranking top to bottom, go ahead and skip to the end of the video, you know that's where you'll find it. To watch a video thoughtfully reviewing all the options in a rewatch, their connections, their relationship to each other, requires a chronological reexamination in which the easy best and worst outliers could be quickly categorized as such, and the more debatable ones set aside for a more scrutinized approach later. This is how the human brain actually ranks and sorts stuff and we think it's more interesting to invite someone into that deliberation in real time, rather than just barf out another list you're just gonna disagree with part of.

[@eelcostuy4641]

Always when I rewatch this series I skip The Last Stand and the Wolverine movies, and end with Days of Future Past. That makes it an amazing series and it's still cohesive as a story. It feels more like something with a start and an end. There's enough of Wolverine's backstory in X2 to make sense and even the look on Logan's face when he sees Jean again in the end could be interpreted as "confused to see his friends alive again". I like to watch Logan as a separate movie.

[@talesofderp]

I'm not gonna lie, the movies that are bad in this franchise are not nearly as bad as they seemed. I think all the expectations put on them hurt them more than anything and when viewed on their own merits have good to them. However, they make a couple HUGE mistakes that are pretty core to the X-Men (Cyclops' role, Storm's role, Phoenix being done correctly, etc.) and it hurts every movie outside of the top tier of the franchise.

[@KarolGacek18]

I rewatched most of the xmen movies recently and comparing those lesser xmen movies to the current MCU is like night and day strangely enough

[@talesofderp]

@@KarolGacek18 i do think that part of the reason why some of the X movies have aged better than others is because we don’t really get superhero movies like that anymore, and with that absence our hearts have grown fonder to the style.

[@johnmurphy148]

I can't believe First Class is so high on the list, it is hard to overlook how thoroughly it betrays the source material. The decision to center the relationship between Magneto Charles and a bafflingly rewritten Mystique, made the franchise unrecognizable to long time fans and doomed the sequels by forcing the film makers to shoehorn that relationship into the storylines they were adapting.

[@mr.iiconic]

Look, I'm all about the source material and I hope the MCU starts with the REAL first class as it's my personal favourite lineup. Still, this movie captured the FEEL of the X-Men more than any other movie. It felt like a movie about the team, where Havok, Banshee and Beast were given something to do in a way side characters in other X-Men movies never did. Tbh, I don't really love ANY of Fox's X-Men films but this is the only one that felt like it was about an ensemble and not Wolverine or Mystique.

One nitpick about the mutant kids in Logan. Colossus, Wolverine and his kids are the front line tank class of Mutants that can soak all the damage. Most mutants have normal human durability with crap powers, ranged powers or vague mind powers.

[@vacapsfan]

The problem I have with many of the X-Men movies is that they always try to have too many mutants in each movie. I wish there would have been more patience and character development in each movie with fewer character intros. Sure it may have taken a couple more movies to get to the end story, but I think it would have made the movies better.

Excellent review. However, the title should have been “x-men movies “ranked?”… and the only problem with Logan is there needed to be a short film detailing the events of one of Logan’s nights out. That night revolves around the time Logan got hammered on fireball. Because a fantastic (no sarcasm) set director put a bottle of fireball as one of the liquor bottles that Logan had finished in the background of a scene. If you ever drank fireball, it really makes you ponder on how that night started and the adventure Logan had that night being bit tipsy on fireball

Also, didn't he say that Dark Phoenix was suppose to be a two-parter. I'm surprised that he omitted that in this video.

I agree with your ranking 10000%

[@da1FranCh1zE]

DP2 is mostly just Ryan Reynolds Ryan Reynoldsing everybody 😂 that’s so accurate😂😂

[@LeoChaseTheMythMaster]

I'd switch The Wolverine and Deadpool 2 and that would be closer to mine.

[@eldercal3127]

I think first class and apocalypse is way higher, probs 8 for apocalypse and first class is top 5 but fair list

[@kerutlj]

Hot take, Logan is not number one. Do NOT care for it as much as others, good just not a real X-men movie. I rank dark phoenix above it. X2, X1, future past, dark phoenix then the others

[@ZayWicked007]

victor creed in x-men is peak 🔥

[@SupaKen74]

Could not disagree with you more on Deadpool 2. Seen it more times than 1, liked it better than 1, and it has a MUCH MUCH MUCH more direct affect on the rest of the world and the future of the MCU than almost EVERY movie on this list. Also- WHO is ranking the last stand high on ANY list? I would be dead last for me. It was painful to watch once and I will NEVER watch it again.

They were definitely better than I remembered. I enjoyed this rewatch. I would rank Deadpool 2 higher, right with Deadpool 1.

[@livesbeneaththebayproducti3909]

X2 is the best movie in my opinion.

[@location7787]

W it has so many amazing moments

[@johnbecher85]

X2 definitely has stood the test of time.
