Good thing I didn't know who Deadpool was when I watched this movie

[@SmugKAiRO]

I was 5 when I first seen this movie in theaters, I ain’t know who Deadpool was but wolverine I knew

[@BoyBlunder66]

😂 Same, made the movie a fair bit more bearable when I was a kid.

[@joeysmith4066]

Seriously lol!

[@Chino-Kafu]

I knew who Deadpool was and was pissed. I almost left the theater before movie was over

[@drewpiter211]

Really, I would have cried if I did, they messed up

[@mort8660]

Wades sword sequence in this movie was also called back to in dp2 as a joke LOL

[@nicholasmilillomusic]

yeah

[@matnels277]

Way funnier in deadpool 😂

[@SomebodywithaYouTubeaccount]

I just watched Origins for the first time today, and I totally connected the dots to dp2! Funnily enough, the latter is more realistic in that a sliced bullet would still carry most of its momentum, and thus tinier bits of shaped metal would penetrate you. Plus, you don’t need a high school education to know that bullets cannot be deflected by sword (at best they’re ricocheted by shields and armor)

[@chefdh]

@@SomebodywithaKZbinaccount bullets can be deflected from swords if they are durable and fast enough catch it.

[@SomebodywithaYouTubeaccount]

@@chefdh Only deflected, not reflected though

[@arkoudiou]

That scene when Wade Wilson cuts a bullet into two pieces actually came back in Deadpool 2 when he was fighting Cable in the truck, Cable shot him multiple times, Wade acted like he was dodging the bullets but he actually ate them.

[@EpicZeeman420]

Yes I love that call back he even try to cut the bull in half too

[@DazzOne2012]

I didn't even think about that!!!

[@heythereskinwalker]

I remember being really excited for all the origins movies that were supposed to come out like Magneto Origins

[@alexjheaton]

I really wanted a Cyclops Origins movie back then. Always seemed like the most overlooked X-Men in movies or animated shows. But maybe his origin in this movie is as interesting as it got 🤷‍♂️

[@tomasthenoob3435]

There was going to be: beast, cyclops, magneto, Storm, iceman and professor x xmen origins movies but got cancelled, that would have been great as my favourite character is iceman.

[@RyanHaney55]

Unpopular opinion, in the 2000s, this was my favorite X-Men movie. I just wanted to know Wolverine's origin story. I didn't find out until years later how much the screenwriters changed the story from the comics.

[@Shellz386]

That Storm cameo is INSANE.

[@itsmorbintimeorits420]

In what way?

They should've kept it in imo. It was dope af.

I'm STILL disappointed we didn't get more of Gambit. But despite whatever they tried to give us with Deadpool 😆, I love this movie.

[@lastfrontierbricks316]

One detail I like about the opening credits montage is while Logan stays calm and collective in combat throughout the years, Victor becomes more and more aggressive. Also, the whole "He wasn't your father" bit really caught me off-guard in theaters. The actor playing Logan's supposed father really looks like Hugh Jackman when you compare them side by side.

[@sophiawilson8696]

Note about Logan's father he was not a mutant but an Anomalous Human. In other words he a carrier of the X gene. I wish he could talk about what knew this,. I think he knew about what going happened later in son life. Victor knew it.

[@nailinthefashion]

He looks even more like adult Victor too, great casting

[@TitularHeroine]

[@ZuriBirmingham]

I'm still not over it 😩

[@TitularHeroine]

Darwin is cool and I was really looking forward to seeing more of his powers

[@jeremybarnes3698]

I agree

[@Saimeren]

Honestly, I like this movie's cast. I think they did an alright job with some of the characters. I liked Taylor Kitsch as Gambit, and I liked Blob and Wraith. Lynn Collins is always a win and I also really like this version of Victor. Tyler will always have a soft spot in my heart as Sabretooth, but I also really like Liev's portrayal.

[@kaponosucks]

Unpopular opinion but I enjoy this movie

[@JacobDean88]

Taylor did really well. I wish he would get more rolls. Or more challenging rolls... He nailed David Koresh in the Waco series. I would definitely be happy if he joined the MCU

[@amymormino3029]

The movie isn’t good, especially the last third (it has moments before then). But there was nothing wrong with the cast. Liev as Sabretooth especially was unexpected but was so good I wish he could return in the role.

[@JoseBraghiroli]

something that always bugged me about Origins is when Logan is breaking out of the Weapon X facility, when he carves the X in the metal wall, there's four pieces of metal right in the center of the X that literally float in place when they should have fallen out. They really did not want physics in this movie.

[@BigOsce]

It stresses me out every time I watch this movie lol

[@davephilpott]

Also, the adamantium caused him to almost blow the tires off the motorcycle from his weight, yet Wolvie jumps out of the tank and runs around like it was nothing. I don't think his healing factor would have made him stronger to accommodate all that metal.

[@chefdh]

The bullet split move he did "Attempt" to do hilariously in Deadpool 2 fighting against Cable😂

[@trapninja1759]

He did that bullet move in Deadpool 2

[@emmalovmusic]

Wraith’s teleportation looks similar to how they did the temporal/time slipping/spaghettification for Loki 👀

[@ItsGamingFancy]

Damn. I didn't notice any spaghettification on wraith or Loki's skeleton showing

[@kanukki84]

Bradley's powers were used in Deadpool, thanks to his powers Stryker was able to control Wade with a computer.

[@redgyrados2000]

I... don't think that really makes sense but good catch!

[@blamerebel]

So glad you guys are doing these for the older movies 🎉 I barely remember any of that stuff!

[@Karlach_]

Thank Marvel for only releasing a single MCU movie in this year. If 2024 was packed with MCU stuff like last year then we wouldn't be getting these videos at all.

[@JJSEDITS]

Funny how Victor looks the most like his father even though he tried to distant himself from him

[@mashudusimone578]

I loved this movie back when it came out! Gambit was by far the best character in this film. Such a pity we never ever got to see more of this character.

[@JimboMountain]

It’s really good to watch a positive and enthusiastic video about this film Also that bullet slice shot goes hard 👊

[@WinchesterxNL]

Blade isn't half Mutant. He is a Dhampir, Half Human and half Vampire. About 80% of Wade talking, is just Ryan Reynolds doing improv with his own humour and sarcasm. He was the perfect cast for it, considering that's what Ryan Reynolds is pretty known for.

[@sophiawilson8696]

Blade origin was changed from human that could resist Vampire bites to turn into Dhampir his mother was bite while pregnant with him.

[@WinchesterxNL]

@@sophiawilson8696 Still doesn't make him a Mutant, though

[@cydian5957]

When I first watched this movie, I don’t think I had even seen any other X-Men movies, I had never read a comic, I never seen any KZbin videos about them, this was my introduction. And while I didn’t love the final appearance of Wade in this movie, his scene of spinning the blades around, was one of my favorite movie scenes of all time. And I was really big into Lego mini figure customization at that point, and I immediately made that version of Wade and had it for a very long time

[@nrg2nd391]

34:00. If that's not Head- pool in Deadpool 3, I'm going to be sad, just imagine that interaction.

[@chriscage669]

20:39 fun fact Viggo was also one of the cast list to play wolverine in 2000 x men

[@ReeseRizzerspoon]

I have no basis for this, but Ryan was crazy about playing deadpool. It wouldnt surprise me in the slightest if the post-credits scene was 100% his idea. Like imagine being so excited to play a character who's literally your dream role, and then the writers / costume design rams your dream into the ground (honestly he was killing it when he was part of the strike team). he probably ran it by some of the higher ups like "Hey so uhhhh this merc with the mouth... he doesnt have a mouth. Oh and also he's kinda got this thing where he breaks the fourth wall... any chance we can squeeze some of that in?" and they gave him one reshoot as a post-cred because they didnt wanna change the plot Or they were planning for him to return with the full bodysuit to cover his deformity in a future film

[@TheLadybug177]

I first saw this movie when I was 10 years old extremely sick with the flu. I was in and out of consciousness on the couch and my dad put this movie on while he was taking care of me. I just remember seeing the screen and seeing Logan’s sprinting to the barn bare ass naked and I always thought it was just a fever dream until I rewatched this movie.

[@jasonsmith2759]

An adamantium bullet, while silly, would actually be an acceptable way to remove Wolverine's memories. It would destroy the neurons and the information stored in them. While his healing factor would regrow the neurons, the information that they stored would be gone forever.

[@Vidaluko]

Why does the bullet kill the Wolverine clone in Logan? But here just deletes memories

Origins takes place in 1979 Wolverine fought in Vietnam in 1973 then 6 years later pass by, so it’s 1979. *3 mile island incident also happened in 1979

[@ytuser_3122]

I had watched this film from the infamous leaked unrendered version, and my first introduction to Deadpool was from Ultimate Alliance. Seeing him here, the only thing I recognized that they got right was his teleportation, I can’t believe Fox were so happy and proud of this portrayal of the merc with the mouth 😂

[@TheRealJahan]

lol saw this movie originally the same way 😂😅

Jason Striker is shown frozen in Striker’s facility, which foreshadows his fate in X2 when he’s frozen by Storm in Cerebro 2.

i don't care what anyone says, this movie helped produce one of the greatest superhero games of all time (titled the same, X-Men Origins: Wolverine). That game was so much fun. Seeing Wolverine take so much damage like all of his skin being burned off from an explosion, but still fighting was amazing! I kinda wish Hollywood would release games along with their films like they used to in the early 2000's

[@bluekinopio9390]

[@Brendyn4222]

There are 2 details I wish you caught. I noticed this on my last watch. The barn doors foreshadow fights that are coming up. When Logan goes after Victor at the bar, the bar doors have. “V” and an “X” for both of them. Having Logan slam through the “V” with his intent, and a warning sign above the “X” about trucks coming through. Then at the elderly couples farm there’s a “Z” for Zero.

"The relationship between Wolverine and rogue was obviously meant to be like Big Brother, little sister." I don't know. I always got the feeling from the first 3 films that rogue was a daughter figure to Wolverine, not his little sister.

[@katherinevalenzuela2696]

If Wolverine can smell lies, why didn't he realize Striker was lying to him.
