Big ups to that one fan who has consistently asked for this particular video subject since the beginning of time. You know who you are.

[@Leee275]

Lmao

[@TryppyKyd]

I think I can speak for most viewers when I say this. Thank you, Matt, for consistently making quality content that is always increasingly funny and creative!

Like how the movie tied game is better than the actual film itself.

[@MrKingvenom77]

Right? That shows how bad the movie was. Lol. Normally, games licensed on movies are terrible.

[@chemergency]

That game was a gem, and the best part is the PC version runs nicely on modern systems despite not having access to the PS3-exclusive DLC (but there's always RPCS3 for that). I was really surprised it went for a full M-rating too that was almost unheard of in superhero movie tie-ins at the time.

[@justinemery2194]

That’s never been said before and won’t be again heh

[@Metal_Mayhem2024]

Yeah. It's like someone had the bright idea to make a mature audiences game starring the guy who has sharp metal claws coming out of his arms

[@jordanrebner7862]

There's a fantastic Mega64 skit about just this.

[@THAT1ZELDAFAN]

He missed one of the biggest controversies from the time. For what I heard, Ryan Reynolds was nearly removed as Deadpool, and barred from further portrayals of the character, due to him protesting, well, everything they did with Wade Wilson. He begrudgingly agreed to stay on because he wanted to eventually make a faithful adaptation of the character, which of course lead to the 2 legendary films (haven't seen Deadpool and Wolverine yet)

[@PTp1ranha]

Third one's just as legendary.

[@magicalmysteryperson]

Well good thing the third one is also legendary!

[@RTU130]

True

[@worstinshow]

Deadpool and Wolverine was also legendary. The only superhero trilogy to manage to three for three.

A dvd of that leaked version was how my family and I watched it on my birthday. The highlight was the unfinished scene of logan t-posing while getting hit by the train. Between that and having homework over that day made it the most birthday ever.

[@icedcapplord710]

I love how William Stryker, an anti-mutant bigot who in the comics, is even under the belief God gave him a mission to kill every mutant on Earth, and who spends this movie kidnapping like two dozen mutant kids and caging them, not only allows Logan the capacity to consent whether he gets drugged up and has an indestructible metal drilled into his skeleton, but also goes through several hoops to give him a fake wife and a staged murder, all in the hopes he will be angry enough to politely ask him if he could have a bunch of needles shoved down his body, even though in the comics, Weapon X had no problem capturing and brainwashing him, and it is even implied in X2 that'show it happened. And all this while his master plan isn't to actually kill mutants, it is to take their powers and combine them into a Frankenstein mutant. They really just wrote this as they went along

[@KuroeNezumi]

They probably combined his character with someone else's, and ended up the same kind of Frankenstein's monster as Deadpool did

[@eonnexus]

I think they took Strikers line at the end of X2 "if I recall, you were the one who volunteered for this procedure!" WAY too seriously and based this ENTIRE movie around it.

[@HelFrostKara]

I can't help but wonder why they changed Striker from this bigoted evangelical ahole (comics) to some rogue military guy for these movies? I mean I'd guess it's for MURICA reasons, the cowards lol.

[@kahlzun]

​@@eonnexusdo you really think that Stryker would do that? Talk to a mutant and tell lies?

[@antona.1327]

X-Men movie Stryker has little to nothing in common with the comics. So I don't know why it's relevant to bring up his comic version.

[@gparris777]

I have a love hate relationship with this movie, i HATE the movie and its depiction of the characters except for Sabertooth, and when it came out i was "forced" to see it like 5 times by friends who would drag me to it. The love part comes from being at the premier in Tempe AZ, and getting to meet Hugh Jackman, and Ryan Reynolds who were super nice. Jackman even went to the Panera Bread and bought everyone waiting in line bagels and coffee, dudes a total class act.

[@Offroader210]

How can you have Deadpool, the merc with a mouth, without a mouth? You don't.

[@antona.1327]

The same way you spend 200 million dollars on making an Iron Man movie where he faces off against his arch nemesis except his arch nemesis is a goofy stooge and the real villain is the most generic boring bad guy ever.

[@bradyg1248]

i mean it’s definitely not deadpool but i still think it’s a neat spin on the character now that we’ve gotten a better representation nowadays. it kinda just takes away the mad factor that i had at the time of origins release and lets me appreciate where they could’ve gone w the character

[@azure4622]

I'm still in shock finding out that guy is deadpool, I thought it was just some random dude.

[@Mickey-v7p]

@@azure4622 it’s pretty surprising that they made “Deadpool” in X-Men Origins: Wolverine resemble Baraka. I mean, he’s bald, he’s ungodly horrifying and he got blades coming out of his arms like the nasty Tarkatan bruiser from Mortal Kombat. Even Logan’s expression when he saw Deadpool in that movie says “WTF, man? Did they make you look ugly as hell or what?”.

[@harlan7012]

Good thing the real deadpool came along and "cleaned" that mistake up. With multiple bullets and a hint at Deadpool and Wolverine.

[@buchiklop110]

There's a lot about this film that people mock, and much of it is deserved, but there WERE good things about the film. Liev Schreiber was excellent as Sabertooth, the opening montage was amazing, and Logan's hair was legitimately the best it ever was in the entire franchise.

[@manuelalbertoromero9528]

And it retrospectively works as a cinematic dead horse which Deadpool and Reynolds will never stop beating up.

[@HelFrostKara]

I do agree that the opening is pretty good. A lot of what comes after is frustrating from a story and character perspective tho :/

[@OGXenos]

The kid in me will always love Wolverine's breakout post surgery.

[@danielhooper152]

After learning about the Ryan Reynolds/Deadpool situation that went down during X-Men Origins: Wolverine, I'm thinking they may have had their homework copied a bit by the recent Ducktales remake. Cliff Notes Version: Darkwing Duck is a comic character in the Ducktales world and a childhood hero of Launchpad's, so he's thrilled when he gets a sneak peek of the rebooted Darkwing movie on Scrooge's movie lot. He's horrified with how tone deaf the character of Darkwing is portrayed in the movie and chalks it up to Drake(Darkwing's actor) not understanding the character. Launchpad goes to chew Drake out, and is caught off guard when Drake agrees with Launchpad's assessment. He's even more of a fan of Darkwing than Launchpad, and landing the role for his first major gig was a dream come true. When he saw the script was way off character he tried to get the executives to shift it toward a more comic accurate version, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. Realizing that pushing the issue would probably just get him replaced with someone who didn't care about the character of Darkwing at all, Drake decides the best way to try and get a more accurate version is to do his best with the version he's presented with, hoping that a successful movie will give him more leverage in the future to push for a truer version of the character. I dunno; maybe I'm crazy, but I definitely see some similarities.

[@shuboy05]

I suspect this story is more common than you think. But the Ducktales writers were probably thinking of Deadpool in that particular episode.

No better way to celebrate the release of Deadpool and wolverine then by checking out their lesser so great first theatrical encounter

[@9594Jacob]

Fitting how this came on the same week as Deadpool and Wolverine.

[@jayb8934]

Almost as if that’s literally the reason why it came out this week. 🤔

[@doctordoom85]

Small correction: X-men Origins Wolverine is the third lowest. The New Mutants is second lowest at 36%.

[@thesnagglewolf]

Calling The Wolverine marginally better is bananas. That's movie is sooo much better. At least till the third act where it sorta falls off a cliff but even then. I like most of that movie a lot.

[@smashpro1]

I still maintain that the movie is pretty good if you stop watching after he escapes the Weapon X facility.

[@BigGahmBoss]

I'm old enough to have had a SG subscription at one point

[@steverichards1482]

9:57 I'm amazed the trailer for 'Alien : Romulus' has been online since 2008 😳🤣

[@jacobleukus6930]

I grew up close to three mile island and the whole theater busted out laughing when they went there at the end. You could feel the whole theater was like "dude what even is this" lol

[@tadeusticeghostal]

"X-Men Origins: Toad".... I need this in my life. 😂

[@AsgardianQueen]

I remember being young and seeing trailers for superhero movies on TV, including the X-Men, Fantastic 4 and Spider-Man

[@patrickswayze3086]

Really want that gambit film after x-men 97. He was the best character in the animated series and has really been done dirty by the live action movies mon cher

[@Native174]

I remember buying the pirated copy off the street and being so excited to watch it and it turns out to be an incomplete version where the effects weren’t done yet lol 😂

[@thebrownbaldy]

Funny how Double Toasted and Matt McMuscles cover this film on the same day 😅😅

[@ShadowThe771]

I thank god that the Origins Story movie about Professor X and Magneto was canceled. They were even going to CGI to horribly de-age Ian Mckellen and Patrick Stewart, but that thankfully fell through, and some elements of that movie would make it into X Men First Class.

[@Aluranae]

"We took some creative licenses with him" ... ... That's like saying the last decade has been 'mildly eventful'.

[@moneyball32]

Has there ever been an example of studio executives meddling in a director’s vision that actually made the movie better? I’d be interested to hear about such cases.

[@michaelwolfe9496]

One that immediately springs to my mind is The Exorcist 3, but that seems to be debated among fans.

[@anothrwintr8313]

GAWD I remember as a *really* young lad without any exposure to the internet when we came across a (suspiciously early) pirated copy of this movie only to find that it is indeed the leaked workprint of the film. It was SO weird to see everything with incomplete VFX and with all the stunt wires intact, and now, after almost 20 years, I see how it came to be.

[@animefreak120]

As much as I loved this video I hated that it reminded me about what they did to Deadpool. I had buried that shit so deep

[@PaleHorseApocalipse]

The aforementioned set that had to be 'repainted 'was the Casino. In that set, Wolverine is blasted through a wall by Gambit and then the movie cuts to a fake New Orleans alley behind. My first day on set, as an SFX tech, I was preparing that exact 'exploding wall' when something broke out o set. An argument. The producers had arrived and a showdown between them and the director was about to go down. The entire crew was instructed to 'leave the set' and down tools'. I was still crouched in the wall cavity as every one bar them departed. Literally, like Anthony Perkins, I looked on through a small drilled hole in the set wall and watched that poor man (Gavin) bellow at Lauren Shuler Donner and who I'm now assuming was Rothman as his vision was torn to shreds. Still feel for him and often wonder how he's doing right now (hopefully recovered).

[@ThebigJtwins1111]

I had a bootleg copy of the movie that didn't have the cg effects. Made the movie 100% better in my opinion. Still got that DVD somewhere, made the movie hilarious.

[@echsIncognito]

I mean, you gotta do one of these for the Borderlands movie soon enough...

[@diabdia]

You can see in the film, that there are GOOD scenes but then you have schlock that is just so lame and stupid. Leave it to executives to ruin everything.

[@jasonblalock4429]

13:25 After what happened on Superman 2, I really really want to think that Richard Donner wouldn't do this.

[@bryceneedham1860]

The story how the film leaked is wild.

[@slayer6316]

I played this game as a kid I still had alot of fun idk if I would go back to play it again

[@ric3poversace477]

I remember when origins came out G4 posted an article saying that Fox was even thinking of a Magneto origins or Xavier origins movie. Or maybe the writer was making presumptions. It’s funny how we got first class after origins, they combined both of those ideas and scrapped more Wolverine all together.

[@unclematt3134]

Xmen origins is wolverines best movie

[@MattMcMuscles]

LOL

[@cb-9938]

I was given the choice too either watch the movie in theaters OR buy the video game for my ps3 I chose the game and it was the smartest decision. X-Men origins wolverine Uncaged Editon was a 10/10 hack and slash

[@erikruiz8222]

Just watched Deadpool & Wolverine last night. Definitely the shot in the arm the genre needed!
