[@bensneb360]

No matter what your thoughts on this movie are, I think we can all agree that Kelsey Grammer as Beast is as good a casting as Patrick Stewart as Professor X or Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, I wish he had gone to play the character more, he’s so pitch perfect

[@paneledmeteor33]

I couldn’t agree more

[@robertsanssouci2093]

Agreed

[@jeremygilbert7989]

Without a doubt. Grammar is literally the only actor I could envision as Hank McCoy and I thought so well before this movie came out. I honestly was never a huge fan of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine though. I know he certainly gave it his all but he always felt far too subdued to me. I'd replace him with Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool as far as perfect mutant casting decisions. Hell, even the actual comics themselves were pointing that one out long before that first pitch trailer was even shot.

[@ivanholguin164]

Yeah, he was pretty spot on. From his casting, to his make-up, to his sophistication, to his animal like fighting, even him reading upside down at 4:14 just in the animated series. It basically was as perfect a realization of a cinematic x-men could be. Kelsey Grammer actually said in interviews that he loved playing Beast and would love to reprise his role, but for whatever reason the studio decided against it.

[@AnotherViewer]

He did do a quick cameo at the end of Days of future past

[@CalamityDiamond]

I really can't fault Rogue for wanting the cure. She literally cannot touch anyone without killing them, not even a handshake or a hug. Mutant or not. She might have been doing 'for a boy' but it wasn't just that, she wanted to be able to be close to anyone she cared about. Friends, family and lovers.

[@williamrosmer5629]

Bobby was the straw that broke the camel's back. It was never -just- about him.

[@Lucklaran]

Actually, there was one mutant she could touch without killing. She even had a child with him.

[@slmott399]

So unfair to suggest she was just doing it for a boy. She did it for herself.

[@CaptLoquaLacon]

That's one thing I love about the whole franchise - even with many of the villains while you may not agree with what they are doing, you could understand what brought them to that point.

[@Xehanort10]

She's one mutant that'd be better off without her powers.

[@Tonyblack261]

Sir Ian is an incredible actor. The way he goes from super confident megalomaniac to pathetic old man is a testament to his acting.

[@cptbabyface9804]

And his voice is just *Chefs kiss* perfect. You can definitely tell during the rallying scene where Julian Richings is trying to calm everyone down and Sir Ian's voice comes booming over his. Sir Ian, your theatre background is showing.

[@ViewerOnline101]

What a lot of people overlook with Rogue's choice is that she didn't do it for a boy. Yes, that contributed, but like she told Logan, she wanted to be able to touch other people and interact with them without worrying about nearly killing them. Her mutant power literally made her life hell, that's why she got rid of her power, not just because of a boy, that was just the final straw; she always hated her powers.

[@HaganeNoGijutsushi]

Yeah, she basically would be denied not only any sex life, but even simple things like hugs and kisses. Heck, if she ever wanted a baby she could only adopt or have one by surrogate pregnancy... then never touch them directly, for as long as she lives. If she ever felt sick in public and fainted, and someone rushed to help her without knowing her, she'd hurt or kill them. There's so many ways in which that power would be stressful, scary or guilt inducing. Realistically it would make you depressed and drive you to suicide pretty fucking quickly.

[@theawesomeman9821]

I'd do the same thing too if I were in her position

[@thelionsshare6668]

The man with the white hair and beard mowing the lawn was Chris Claremont, who wrote the X-Men (and related comic books) for 17 years, and won numerous awards in the process. Stan Lee & Jack Kirby created the original X-Men, but Claremont put them on the map, and made them a pop culture juggernaut (no pun intended).

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

Claremont didn't put mutants on the map, he expanded the X-Men during a low moment of the comic series, but all the fundamental ideas about mutants were created by Kirby and Stan Lee and Claremont didn't change them. The fact that it was a huge success it's collateral, I don't think that Claremont himself thought what was going to happen

[@thelionsshare6668]

@@JulioLeonFandinho Well, the X-Men was never the best selling comic book, prior to Claremont. And they were behind the Fantastic Four and the Avengers as a team, with the Justice League ahead (over at DC) of everyone, and the Legion of Superheroes (also at DC) somewhere in the mix. Magneto was a third rate villain himself, and a raving madman. Mutants were there, but... well, just there. If it weren't for Claremont, the X-Men would've been where the Inhumans or the Eternals are in the MCU. Instead, they were the second run of movies, right after Spiderman.

[@DrekeXorn13]

25:40 Yeah the guy Charles was talking about was actually his twin brother, with the same mutation as him. However, Charles technically formed first in the womb, and the development of his psychic powers in the womb drained the consciousness of his twin away, leaving the twin to be an empty husk. The twin was kept alive all these years because Charles knew he could use his powers to transfer his consciousness into the brother to stay alive. At that point it was just a simple matter of saying "Hey nurses and doctors, if this body ever wakes up, its actually me, Charles Xavier, dodging death like a G"

[@CalciumChief]

I would say that's stupid, but he actually legit has a twin sister and he did "kill" her in the womb.

[@boristurovskiy351]

Nice to have one's own natural Horcrux, I guess^^

[@the98themperoroftheholybri33]

Isn't the Juggernaut his older brother too? He explored a jungle and accidentally woke an Aztec god which granted him his powers, Juggernaut is one of (if not the most) powerful mutant in the entire universe.

[@CalciumChief]

@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 He's Xavier's halfbrother and Juggernaut is not a mutant at all. At best, he's a mutate, as I'm pretty sure he got to keep some of the power even without the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak.

[@Narutoanime16g]

I like that Magneto & Charles respect each other even after Charles died . & Wolverine is definitely my fav X-Men member even in the cartoons

[@Stubbies2003]

He did have to kill her. In case you missed it anything that was even getting close to her was disintegrating. Like Logan's clothes. The cure cartridge had zero chance of getting to her in one piece.

[@stephanietalbot7086]

Came here to say this 😂.

[@ICameHereToComplain]

Requires more than 1 second of paying attention, no thanks.

[@JengoFate]

He could have kept the cure in his pants pocket because his pants are disintegration proof 😂

[@kaizoisevil]

Also, given her power, it’s possible that the cure would be ineffective

[@cariparkerr1_girl369]

He was literally standing close enough to her to stake her, he was close enough to give her the cure.

[@andre1999o]

Honestly, I get why people consider this one the worst of the original trilogy, but I think there's some pretty cool things about it. Chief among them, Kelsey Grammer as Beast. Pitch-perfect casting if ever I've seen it.

[@thisithis]

The Director is a well-known asshole who claimed to have sex with tons of female celebrities. there were also a ton of sexual allegations against him, and the thing he said to Elliot Page back then was known as Ellen Page. telling him when he was a she that she should f%$#k some of the girls. It was later cooperated by half the staff on the film. Oh, and the film was rushed, it only took 3 months to film the movie.

[@ADifferentVibe]

the casting wasn't really the problem - the writing and direction was worse.

[@Zombiesnyder13]

#IBlameAviArad

[@navtektv]

Compared to Apocalypse or The one with Jessica Chastain that I don't even care to know the name of? This movie is a gem.

[@jackdoe552]

@@navtektv Yeah it's the worst of the original trilogy, but still a solid superhero movie.

[@jasonpratt3970]

Think as Rogue, she can’t touch anyone- those that want the cure should be able to take it, it shouldn’t have been forced.

[@Shiftry87]

It never was. At no point in this movie did they ever force the cure onto some1 except the inventor trying to get hes son to take it but the doctor stopped and was clearly not gonna do it if he dident want it. And no curing Mystique wasent forced, if he wouldent have hade the cure he would have hade a real gun instead and would have shoot to kill instead. Magneto would have stopped him sure but he still would have hade the intention to kill. The attack on Alcatraz would have been in defense of the kid inside.

[@misteranthropy7082]

​@@Shiftry87 I mean the fact that they had guns that shoot the cure def makes it seem like there is an intention to cure mutants against their will, does it not?

[@bigdream_dreambig]

"He could have just injected her with the thing and saved her; he didn't have to kill her!" Remember, she was disintegrating everything, AND she can read minds. There's no way the Phoenix (alt-Jean) would have let Logan get anywhere near her with that stuff -- and he _had_ to get close so he could prompt "our" Jean to the surface to provide a moment of vulnerability.

[@DemiseUnseen]

Not to mention, that I'm pretty sure The Phoenix is actually an Alien entity that made it's home in Jean. So she's not really a Mutant anyway.

[@Shiftry87]

@@DemiseUnseen Thats a can of worms u really dont wanna open outside of comics. At her core Jean is definatly a mutant however the Phoenix entity have simply blown her potential out of this world. U could technically even call Jean immortal for lack of a better word. Jean can be killed as she has been several times however the Phoenix entity have revived her every single time.

[@MrSpyderjack]

Even if he had ....??.... successfully injected her with the needle, it wouldn't have saved her. Her powers would have been stripped but the "Phoenix persona" that was within her would have still remained intact and Jean would have lived on but as a raving psychotic, like Patrick Bateman. ***note: I'm not referring to any of the X-Men comics, only this particular movie as it was presented. It may be "based on the comics" but actual films are a completely different type of storytelling which are more natural and set in the present day realistically, rather than comic books which are usually exaggerated and cartoonish. ***

[@guitarman0365]

@@MrSpyderjack well considering magneto too the cure seems to me temporary not permanent so phoenix would have just come back later on all the same. For this specific movie where the phoenix is not an entity but a part of her mutation without charles locking it away there is nothing they could do if she came back so killing her was the only option in this canon.

[@MrSpyderjack]

@@guitarman0365 You make a great point, I overlooked that back when I watched this movie. I guess it could be reasoned that the cure didn't work because even tho it was synthesized from Jimmy, he was a "lower-class" mutant and that's why it didn't work on Magneto since Erik was a higher class and his mutant genes were too powerful; Jimmy was generating a power field that could temporarily neutralize mutant powers but not eliminate them on a permanent basis. And thus Jean's mutation was even more higher so the Phoenix would have just shaken that cure off.

[@ajl9772]

There is an alternate ending in which Rogue changes her mind and doesn't take the cure, but the director ultimately decided that wouldn't really work as an ending for her and he wanted someone to go through with it. Rogue would still face the same problem of being unable to touch anyone without putting them in a coma. I'm happier with this ending as it actually resolved her problem.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

Well, I mean, it makes sense that Marie (Rogue) would want a treatment like this. Every other X-Man (even Scott, really) has abilities they can render inert if they want to. Every other X-Man has abilities they can just forget about until they need them. Not her. And her abilities _drain_ people. If she hangs on too long, they'll end up dead. In the case of mutants, it drains their _abilities._ With abilities like hers, she has to remain _constantly_ on the alert. That means she can't even make physical _contact_ with someone.

[@HaganeNoGijutsushi]

Storm's the only other one who seems like she might lose some control... if her mood truly translates into weather, I guess if she was strongly stricken with grief or depressed she might cause hurricanes or other disasters. But that's kind of an edge case and still doesn't compare to Rogue. Also you could make a case that telepathy and mind control as powerful as Professor X's is a major temptation, to the point that you simply shouldn't have it. That's more a matter of personal ethics than fear, though.

[@Lucklaran]

It's not just the person's abilities though, she even absorbs their memories and personality, to a certain extent. Imagine having other peoples memories inside your head.

[@Tensen01]

@@HaganeNoGijutsushi Storm was literally worshiped as a goddess because of her amazing powers. Her opinion is invalid.

[@greywolf7577]

Nightcrawler and Beast can't hide because their mutations affect their skin. Even Mystique can't hide all the time because it takes mental effort to change her skin into another person.

[@thedoctor4327]

Not the best of the franchise but not the worst. Best parts of the movie for me were the opening scene with Angel and his dad, Kelsey Grammar as Hank/Beast, finally seeing “The Fastball Special” (a move in the comics when a strong character throws Logan), and Erik being devastated by Charles’ death and defending his memory despite their differences

[@GerblerM]

For the time, I think it was really good. This was kinda still before Hollywood cracked the code of adapting comic books

[@ivanw2080]

Now some might disagree with this, but I think of this movie the same way as Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3: It has some really good parts in it, but also some bad things, but overall most definitely worth a viewing.

[@dracoargentum9783]

Quick synopsis for those who don't follow the comics: The character Jean Grey kept returning from the dead usually as a clone [Madeline Pryor] or as a time-traveling alternate reality version, or something like that. For the movies, they just had her keep popping back up. Though, in the end it all fits her nomenclature of Phoenix.

[@beetlebob4675]

Famke Johnson's version of Phoenix Jean is so creepy and beautiful, it's the reason i watch this, and it's the reason it's my favorite of the three, as well. The juxtaposition of the shadows and warm light in her skin, hair, face and eyes is visually addicting to me. It's like an homage to a nebula in space, a little sprinkling of the comic book story they couldn't actually tell. I know it's not accurate to the source material, but. THE AESTHETIC. Her DELIVERY.

[@Xehanort10]

One line I found funny was Beast saying "My boy I have been fighting for mutant rights since before you had claws" since Wolverine is in his hundreds, a lot older than Hank but his healing factor slows his aging so he looks in his 30's or 40's.

[@cellardweller5245]

[@izheizzy3202]

First X-Men movie I’ve seen and I loved it even as a kid when it came out. It has its flaws but compared to the rest of the previous films, this had much more exciting and shocking moments which really kept me invested.

[@TheRaider8199]

I'm not sure how far ahead you are on your reactions, but if you haven't gotten there yet, when you get to X-men: Days of Future Past, make sure you watch the Rogue Cut instead of the theatrical version (it has some added scenes that improves the narrative).

[@lordmortarius538]

Angel was one of the founding members of the X-Men in the comics. That move where Colossus hurls Wolverine at a target is called the Fastball Special :D The big robots they were fighting in the Danger Room are called Sentinels: anti-mutant enforcers built to 'protect' humans from mutants but end up being used to wage war on them instead :P Also, in the comics, the Phoenix is one of the most powerful cosmic forces in existence, representing ultimate destruction and rebirth (kind of like Lord Shiva in hindu religion). The Phoenix ended up bonding with Jean Grey and greatly enhanced her powers (and a whole bunch of wild shit ensued lol)

[@TheYakusoku]

"Jean Grey is the only Class Five mutant I've ever encountered, her potential practically limitless." "And he's not?" On the grand scale of mutants, no. In these movies, he has to use Cerebro to enhance his powers. He can only read minds so far, control so many at once. Jean Grey is way more powerful. She's just depicted in most of these movies as not knowing how to control her powers to their maximum.

[@HaganeNoGijutsushi]

Yeah, Phoenix in theory should be a planet-wide extinction event. She was pretty limited in this movie if anything.

[@arcojin-carlosh.9435]

I had forgotten about the Charles coming back thing. It's cool to see the origin of that (they used it recently in the comics, to jump start the Krakoa thing). He essentially only dies in body, his telepathy sort of makes him live on as a consciousness in the Astral Plane, so he can just find a body without one or someone willing to give up their body for him to be able to "resurrect" (presumably powerless though, from a genetic point of view, since the new body won't have an X-Gene)

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Yeah, also, that particular body was his own identical twin -- born without consciousness. It has been suggested that pre-birth, Charles' mind was so great, that it either destroyed, robbed, or consumed that of his twin, causing it to be effectively mindless.

[@thereturningshadow]

That scene with Scott and Logan are face to face, re-watch it it again slowly and notice that as they zoom in on Scott walking toward the camera notice that the actor walks up a very gradual ramp so when he stops he is eye to eye in height with Logan and when he walks away is walks down a ramp as well. This is because Jame Marsden is about 3 or 4 inches SHORTER than Hugh Jackman and they needed then at the same height not only for the shot but to make Scott, the character, appear taller than the actor.

[@davidgard6699]

The thing that is most significant above Magneto still having a little bit of power is that it means the cure wasn't as permanent as they thought.

[@44excalibur]

Just so you know, this is not how the Dark Phoenix storyline happened in the comics. Jean did not kill Scott in the comics. The Dark Phoenix movie actually got the story closer to what the comics were. It may not have been well received, but I appreciated that Dark Phoenix at least stuck to the Scott/Jean storyline.

[@99kozi99]

Famke was still way better Dark Phoenix Than Turner. Plus of you pull the comics you know tehát they used up the whole Hellfire Line in First class and that Alien invader replacement was very lazy writing.

[@44excalibur]

@@99kozi99 Oh, I agree about that other stuff. They should not have used the Hellfire Club so soon, the aliens should have been Shi'ar and not those Skrull ripoffs, and the First Class series should not have been stretched across four decades with nobody ever aging. But I did like the fact that Dark Phoenix at least respected the Scott/Jean relationship a lot more than the original trilogy did. Also, Famke was way too old to be Jean Grey. Sophie more closely resembled Jean from the comics.

[@CalciumChief]

You can't do this story right in one movie no matter how much you try. MCU may use the Phoenix Force as the next main villain after Kang (Kang also indirectly creates Apocalypse, so there's and X-Men connection) and before Galactus.

[@44excalibur]

@@CalciumChief No, and that's why you have to plan out a comic book movie series way in advance, so you know exactly where the story is going. Even the MCU hasn't done that. Instead, the MCU is just throwing things against a wall to see what sticks. I mean, they did the Thanos storyline and the Infinity Gems without Adam Warlock. They did The Avengers and Ultron without Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne as Ant-Man and Wasp. They did Hydra without the Masters of Evil. The did Captain Marvel without the real Mar-Vell. I could go on and on.

[@99kozi99]

Have you watched the 90s x-men cartoon? Famke resembles more of that one. I disagree with the age. Famke was much more suitable for a femme fatale mature women like Turner. She basically looks almost like the same like the Stark kid who was molested by that Blonde punk King tó me. Again if you pull comics Than there was a scene when Jean asked Logan tó kill her. And in x-men exiles he did indeed stabbed her.

[@DukeDarkshadow]

There were a few alternate ending scenes that weren't used for the movie. One where Rogue actually DIDN'T take the cure. She came back to Bobby at the mansion and said she couldn't go through with it. The other being that human Mystique was in playing chess with Magneto in the park at the end to show that now that they're "the same", they're loyal to each other again.

[@dntm123]

I get they wanted to keep Magneto as the villain and make him just as bad as the people making and weaponizing the cure, but honestly, I think it would have been more in character for him to not abandon Mystique. For 1, she's been more loyal to him than anyone and there's a real connection between them, and 2, she'd basically be a martyr, which would be beneficial to his cause.

[@elvwood]

This. Up to now, Erik had understandable motivation - his madness isn't at all arbitrary. Like Loki, he's evil and sympathetic at the same time. Here he becomes a parody of himself: Mystique is still a friend and a mutant in all but effect, and his rejection of her screams plot-driven characterisation. It wrecks the mood for me.

[@HaganeNoGijutsushi]

I think it could have made more sense if he picked her up out of pity but sidelined her from then on, treating her with pity and condescension - which eventually led to her betrayal. I can see Magneto being so tied into the mutant-as-identity thing that for him simply not belonging to that "race" any more disqualified you from contributing to the struggle. This was maybe a bit too abrupt, but it was probably all that could be fit into the movie.

[@greywolf7577]

I disagree. Magneto is apologetic to Mystique. He obviously feels sorry for her. But he believes that only mutants can live with other mutants. He can't trust a human, even one that used to be a mutant. He believes in segregation. He's based off of Malcolm X, who also used to believe in racial segregation.

Magneto also doesn't actually have to SEE Wolverine, he can sense the adamantium.

[@WedgeTheEagle]

Looking forward to your reactions to the First Class set of X-Men films. When you get to Days of Future Past, make sure you watch the Rogue Cut. It's far superior to the theatrical version.

[@thomas_shelby_gt]

Charles Egg saviour had a twin brother upon whom he transferred his consciousness into before he in his original body died ...

[@mikeaninger7388]

So in theory, Logan can close his claws and just keep regenerating around his arms. Logan can’t protect the cure vial in the same way and Jean could disintegrate it.

[@marcobrinckmann1012]

When you get to X-Men: Days of Future Past, make sure it's the 'Rogue Cut', far more superior than the original release.

[@Echo4Bravo]

Holy shit she's gonna really cry. I can't wait.

[@Wix_Mitwirth]

Rogue was looking at a life of literally never touching another person except in battle. A little perspective.

[@Maikigai]

“I’m so confused” Oh you have not yet begun to experience the levels of confusion the next few movies induced when they came out xD

[@JedHead77]

Vicky, you must understand that Rogue not only couldn’t touch Bobby, but anybody and everybody.

[@kilianalexander2736]

Just realized the mutant-sensor mutant is played by the mom from Sweet Tooth

[@lord_haven1114]

“This person is dead that person is dead this person isn’t a mutant anymore,” and kitty isn’t a hot girl anymore, she’s a tiny man 😭

[@BeastrealDT]

Early in the film Charles posed an ethics question to his class, about transferring consciousness to man in a coma. Rogue did it for herself. Even if her and Bobby were temporary. She would still want future love and to be able to touch another person. With no real long term testing on mutants. There was no guarantee that its affects would be permanent. ✌️❤️🌹

[@michellesanctuary9089]

we highly recommend *The Essex Serpent* for future reaction

[@TJMiton]

this movie is underrated af tbh.

[@benjackson6260]

I love watching your reactions... Mainly cuz u pay attention to all the scenes and the acting behind them... 🤗🤗🤗... Most other people only do "Oooohhhs and Aaaahhhs" at the action sequences... And due to this, I really feel like I'm watching old (and new) movies with a lovely friend... (As I'm a pilot, I don't get much time to be with family and friends)... So watching these with u is a really fun way of relieving stress after some long flights... Keep Going... And keep cool... 🤟😎👍 P.S. I would really like to suggest "RED" (1&2)... They are quite fun for what they are...

[@ghyslainabel]

Don't be so sad for Magneto. He regained his power as Gandalf the Grey, and later resurrected as Gandalf the White. 😂

[@mralfonzohoward5175]

The X MEN has their own multiverse the crazy part is the phoniex is really holding gene back and the phoniex is beyond powerful

[@ardenaudreyarji]

There are no wooden cars, Vicky. Also, the injection things would get vaporized before Logan even comes close to Jean.

[@budweiser600]

This film is very under-rated.

[@RJALEXANDER777]

I think it's x-rated.

[@emd78s]

Does kind of hit you a little when Charles gets killed. And you can see Magneto showing he never truly hated Charles and didn't want him to die. I like the way he didn't hesitate to put Pyro in check after the fact.

[@AndyDandyMandy]

This movie did Cyclops dirty.

[@DaDunge]

27:30 It's not about Bobby, she can never have intimacy with her powers.

[@RockmanX3]

to ease your thoughts YES Xavier transferred his mind to the body in the last moment he was alive and it needed time to reestblish itself in that body

[@scottvanhille5688]

They need to stop killing off Charles. That's one of the big complaints about these films. Let him still do good if he comes back and have a purpose again, just don't kill him off like he's nothing. This is my favorite of the trilogy. I felt for Rogue, it's not just the fact that she loves Bobby and wants to have a relationship with him, she needs the human touch to be alive. She wants to be normal. The song "Human Touch" by Rick Springfield popped up lol. Time for the prequels VKunia!

[@ThomasKnip]

"There are so many X-Men movies!" - Oh, from there on they are just chaos, but not in a fun way.

[@TeeJayDesastron]

You really should continue with the series. I won't spoil anything but some plot points will take unexpected turns in the future. You do not want to miss those.

[@joshuawells835]

This was my favorite of the X-Men films of the original trilogy.

[@UriahChristensen]

The next two to watch is The Wolverine, and then Days of Future's Past. The Wolverine deals with Logan's issues with Jean's death. Days of Future's Past connects the X-Men trilogy to First Class.

[@louisstowers511]

You went on a roller-coaster ride of emotions

[@jamesdee759]

One thing that I learned a long time ago about the X-Men is that you can never count anyone out/gone/dead because with all the different mutants out there with all those different abilities, there's always a way for someone to be brought back in one way or another.

[@heavyrain4485]

At end, Charles have twin brother and he transfers his mind into his brother's mind.

[@adrianrocha49]

It's interesting, for all the crap that this movie got, it's actually aged really well for people that didn't have any expectations going in. I hope that if and when they reboot in the MCU, they keep the same darkness, grittiness. The X-Men are not like the avengers, no matter how many times they saved the world, everybody always hated them. Sad but true.

[@Juggernuts]

also to answer your question, the next one in line, days of future past, fixes all the crazy stuff thats happened and the messed timeline

[@Matej_Sojka]

Charles asked in class about morality of putting his mind into a healthy man who has a vacant mind. He had a twin brother in some continuities that was without conscious brain activity. So he was contemplating relocating his mind to that body for a long time and did not do it because it was morally wrong, but once he was in deadly danger... As for Magneto moving the chess piece, the mutant they were using to manufacture the cure has area of effect around him, once they go away their powers come back. So I am not surprised the cure is temporary. I just think it would be better if they went with the comic book and made the kid look freaky. He was one of those mutants that could not hide.

[@greywolf7577]

I think there is some symmetry to making a kid that can take away mutant powers also look like a kid without powers. Even him being bald helped to show him as someone who stripped away what people had.

[@Duffman69able]

I can’t wait to see you watch the rest of the X-men movies. Not to mention Deadpool and Logan

[@lesliedaubert1411]

Rogue was able to control her power in the animated series.

[@chotzrary]

4:33 in here with us is homage to The Exorcist, when Father Karris asks the demon where is Regan. The devil answers, "in here with us".
