X-men (X2)

WOOHOOOO

X-men (X2)

Comments

Yeah with the way they treat Cyclops, the costumes, and honestly some of the action in this. I don't think these X movies hold up all that much 20 years later unfortunately.

Ryan Whorton

1:54:08 And there in lies the biggest reason killing mutants is so dumb. You can't do it. Mutants are literally hard coded to be the next evolutionary stage for humans and they just keep getting born because humans exists. No matter how many current mutants are born, more and more will appear each passing generations.

Baron Salt

The wolverine, Jean and cyclops love triangle has been a thing in comics and shows for a looooong time, mostly popularized with the 90s animated series and after that it was leaned into more and more, I like wolverine and Jean so I've always been for it. These movies mostly did cyclops dirty by just nit having him in the damn movies at all, hos characterization isn't bad, and as for his clothes you ragged on......that's what he wears in comics and shows as well. So yeah, cyclops done dirty by just no screen time, but otherwise pretty accurate

Unstablebeast

I don't remember you telling us the dog's name. So I have decided they are named Gas Bag.

DrCatspaw

Iceman can indeed freeze time in the comics he is a omega level mutant

Fenronin (Dorian Dubourg)

"With his life experience, to want to commit a genocide, it doesn't feel..." kosher? lol

Malkalypse

please react to X-Men origins wolverine next

Nightwolf37

If I recall, in Storm's original lore she actually was regarded as a goddess in the village she grew up in.

Noodle

Waiting patiently for X-Men 98

Gabriel Walton

Adora was very right to pick up on the Old Man Yaoi, basically, across 70 years of comics, Charles and Magneto are the great loves of each other's lives

Verdigree

These movies absolutely ignore how awesome cyclops is.

Jeff

(Comics and cartoons, not a spoiler for anything) I always get upset that they don't address that nightcrawler is mystiques son. Mystique also adopted young rogue. The two are basically siblings.

Emeradis

2:36:42 Okay, so normally i wouldn't explain stuff like this because it would be spoilers, but the next movie does a HORRIBLE job "explaining" it and an even WORSE job executing it. The shape looks like a mythical bird. I'll leave it at that.

Camden Weisz

It doesn't matter how many code words you throw at me, the only one I will accept is "chariots". It's how ill know you're the real Alicia and not some faker from an alternate dimension.

Emeradis

36:16 Btw, some of these are pretty well known mutants. Guthrie (2) refers to Sam Guthrie, who is Cannonball and another I don't personally know about, Garrison Kane is Weapon X/Kane, came from same program that made Logan, Remy LaBeau is Gambit, you know Eric, Artie Maddicks is another telepath, Jamie Madrix is Multiple Man (you'll meet him later), Xi'an Coy Man is Karma, another telepath, Maximoff (2) refers to the Maximof twins who you've already (kinda) met in the MCU. Yes they are twins, but in x-men lore, they are the children of magneto. Kevin McTaggart is known as Proteus, he's the son of a character you'll meet later in a different movie, and he has reality warping powers. Danielle (Danny) Moonstar is another telepath known as Mirage who specializes in summoning people's worst fears.

Camden Weisz

There was apparently much more of Cyclops that was cut. Fox wanted to focus as much as possible on what they saw as the cash cows of the film: Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry.

SweetCandle

Fun fact. All telepaths love cyclops, they say his mind is like a warm empty room. Bro is just a real good dude

Noahthehoneyboy

In my mind, the reason Logan told Scott at the end that Jean chose Scott was because since Logan came into the picture, Scott felt like he was competing with him. Logan was trying to let him know and bring closure to that fight, otherwise Scott would have continued thinking about who Jean really wanted and never getting the answer.

Solaris

Is there any real reason why she HAD to be outside the plane to do that?

Giddo

Also Magiks brother

JT

Mystique's plan to break Magneto out was pretty ironic, wasn't it?

SweetCandle

Alpo farts hit different.

ClassifiedCretin

OKAy one more ....magneto is never better than that .. mangeto lives any means to the end

Lance Ivy

I think that they keep hinting at a relationship between Jean and wolverine because in the comics the three of them were in a thruple.

Mitchell McPhillamy

I really hate how storm is kinda useless in these movies, and you see the comic and she is omega level lmao

Accel

As far as i'm aware... Yes. 😊

RedRam-Ipsen

Anyone know if Deadpool will be done?

Sirghostfreak

Characters: "Where is Logan?" Jean: "He's gone." Alicia and Adora: "Wow. Look at this line about Scott showing how little she cares about Scott. She definitely said this about Scott."

Magikltrevr

farties :3

MyOnisan

1:28:46 The Funny part is, in the comics Storm is worshiped as a goddess of Storms, and is often refereed to as such. Most of her Believers are in Africa, and she forms one of the best Power Couples when she marries Black Panther.

Switchchris27

The main issue is that they prop Scott up as a perfect nice guy boyfriend while in the comics he cheated on Jean quite a few times. So their relationship was always strained as hell. It just felt so fked have Jeans side shown but his ignored, they prop them up as the perfect couple in the film just to have her cheat. It would’ve softened the blow if they just took 5mins to show that their relationship was strained and neither were happy.

Nightmareman99

2:37:00 yeah you got it it’s a hint at Jean’s return. The wings are a nod to comic fans. Jean Grey sometimes goes by the Phoenix hence the winged creature you see under the water. Also just a fun fact Jean Grey is a Wanda (scarlet witch) level threat. As for which one is stronger that is a heated ass debate really just comes down to who writes the story. Some comics have Jeans powered being afraid of Wanda while others Jean is basically a god, it’s really inconsistant

Nightmareman99

There was a deleted scene in X-2 when Mystique is snooping in the government building and sees Nightcrawler's file and gives a long look, which for comic fans is big signal that it's mama seeing her child.

Game Wizard001

yeah Logan is straight up killing people in this film. Like the guy he stabbed against the fridge, he was going under the arms and you can see his claw marks in the fridge door. He straight up impaled the guy with six knives. He dead.

Random3x

1:01:18 WAIT! THAT SONG WAS IN THIS MOVIE FIRST?????? (iykyk)

Memento Forever

I swear you're absolutely gonna love Deadpool, I can't wait till we get to it!

Arian Khalil

Oh just wait until you see Deadpool & Wolverine! ;)

Arian Khalil

Comic fact: nightcrawler is actually mystique’s son we never find out who the dad is it changes in every comic at one point I think even wolverine was considered at one point but overall night crawler doesn’t really have a good time in the comics usually

James Fernandez

Wow that first 10 minutes really hits different nowadays

James Fernandez

Crazy to think Cyclops would grow up to eventually raise sonic the hedgehog

Todd tude

Cyclops: Jean why do you smell like cigars?

Nightmareman99

Just gonna say Ian McKellen played Gandalf not Saruman. Take that you snarky rabbit octopus

Nanogerm

this is a very fun movie, too bad their isnt a doggo mutant

Gildarts1#fan

Poor donut lord

Report_pyke

X-men Evolution was my childhood X-men, but honesty if she just watches X-men 97 (and maybe Spectacular Spider-man) that would be enough for me

nervouspirate

I really hope you get to watch any of the X-men animated series throughout the years.

Trey Goldsworthy

I love this film so so much and there is so much to like and break down. One thing, though, I always found interesting [not to everyone but to me and many x-men fans of my community], and something we even discussed a little in one of my film classes, is that Jason chooses to present as a girl in the vision. This version of Jason's character can and is viewed by many trans x-men fans [especially 80s and 90s era Trans Fans] as a very early and very subtle example of a trans character. The only time we see Jason as male is in the real world, where his father has stripped all his dignity and even any real sense of self or control away from him. However, in his illusions, where he can appear any way he wants, he presents as female because that is how he truly sees himself. Remember the X-Men comics according to stan lee where created to be a stand in for more than just Racial Civil Rights Movement but also the LGBT+ Civil Rights Movement which is actually the reason the x-gene that gives Mutant Powers works the way it does such as manifesting during puberty (just like being LGBT+ tends to) and is triggered by extreme stress (like the stress of being different). Anyways, just wanted to share. Thank you both for the wonderful reaction. Your content continues to be great. Oh, and you are not alone, nearly every actor who has ever played magento and charles has said they considered them to have been romantic at some point in time.

Lucifer Moon

wish they did more with Lady Deathstrike also when Jean said "he's gone" she was talking about Wolverine leaving his comms and doing his own thing

Ronix

Logan the homewrecker lol

Gilmez

there was A LOT OF bad blood behind the camera between cyclop's actor and the director so yes he was often trying to punish the actor via ruining the writing for the character.

Lucifer Moon

Magneto is always feels like that "You become what you hate most" type character he basically believes humans are inferior and mutants are the true superior race, and for cyclops they had to condense alot of comics love triangle stuff for a few movies never noticed till now though. Ha!

JosephBob

Daniel Lone Eagle, AKA Forge. Is a Native American Mutant that can build literally any machine. He was the creator of the Black Bird (X-Jet) and created several other machines and devices for the X-men, X-Factor, X-Corp., and X-Force. His absence in the film leaves plot holes on why Xavier's Mansion is so high tech, but it is also one that many people just leave as 'comic book reasons'.

Shrapnel

No...the dog got the farts with the sauce!

Nicholas Johnson

Scott Summers ate more shit than a rabbit. Like damn the writers hate him.

DragonPup

The thing about Jean not worrying about Scott is that she actually had no idea until that moment that he was in danger at all. Why would she worry? Last she knew, he and the Professor were heading out to visit Magneto. NOW, having seen Magneto, is when she starts to worry, but she had no reason to think that they weren't still visiting until then or hadn't been delayed on the trip back by random mutant kid needing help or some kitten stuck up a tree or whatever Scott does on his time off.

Liberty

the shape under the water is her doing her bullshit phoenix stuff

Levi Price

"what are you a professor of " " history spacificly western civ between 18th and 20th cneturies i am currently wrighting my doctorate in the french and indian war "

Lance Ivy

Alicia's farting dog was the true mutant hero of this show. :P

Oliver

Only to understand the cameo post credit. I wouldn’t say they’re that important

D S

Huh?

D S

It's pretty much true to his character in the comics, the only difference is that in the comics they have more time devoted to exploring the dynamics of Jean/Scott and Jean/Logan and Scott/Logan. Logan fell for Jean on day 1. Jean felt attraction to him but was loyal to Scott. Scott hoes himself out every time Jean so much as leaves the scene for a while. (If all you take away from this is that Scott is a hoe, you dun good.)

Liberty

But that's his character? He hates humans and humanity. He sees them as less than beasts and this is the breaking point where he finds them irredeemable. Of course he's going to say kill them all, this is the point where he goes off the deep end and becomes the mega villain he was always going to be.

Liberty

see this is why comics are better than movies cause in the comics cyclops walks up and starts flirting with logan too , god i love them

Lance Ivy

mr president :"what kind of jet " willam striker "we dont know " alucard " DOES ANYBODY READ MY CHRISTMAS LISTS"

Lance Ivy

Okay big Ick towards what they're doing to Cyclops it's so fucking gross

Nym

The dude with metal skin is not a teacher, he's just a ginormous teenager. His name is Colossus, and there is a lot more to him than this movie shows.

GingerBardMan

in the newer comics jean,scott and logen had a three way relationship

Steve Cushman

Ditto oh my god 97 is so good

mykanike

Can't wait for the McAvoy movies, especially the days of the future past

Oatmeal

If they didn't like how Cyclops was treated in these movies I really hope she watches Xmen 97 at some point since that show treats him so good

iamkurla

can we just skip to that one

Easy Mode - A.I

NOW YOU KNOW HOW POLNAREFF FEELS! ;_; IGGY!!

Memento Forever

Loved this reaction so much! highlights were definitely iron supplements, dog farts and cyclops. This use to be one of my favorite movie and I still enjoyed the rewatch but Alica was right (just like cyclops and magneto were right [joke on comic meme]) that there was some bad writing in spots and they tried to rush what at this time was decades of charector development which did a great disservice some some of the charector

Devlin Draconis

The beak

Loro

I know nothing to do with this reaction buuuut, You gotta watch the first 2 vemon movie's before the next spider-man movie then the 3rd vemon.

NixTWD

Watch Legion. That will make you go waah!

Dave

Not to defend Jean to much but when she said "he's gone" she was talking about Logan. It was meant to show how she doesn't like how he is always running off on his own, unlike Scott who is a team player. Also, I think you guys are confusing bad writing for writing you don't like. It's not high art, but people cheat for all sorts of reasons. And you aren't supposed to think Jean and Logan are in the right. The ending with her choosing Scott is meant to show that though she was tempted, she remained faithful.

Twiska Brand

I don't remember it if it had a stealth field, but i do remember that the entire point of the SR-71 wasn't to be stealthy as we know it today. It was built to be stupidly fast at a stupidly high altitude which kept it from being able to be shot at, period.

Scarecrow443

To be fair to Magneto, he saw one attempted genocide back in the 40s, and then years later, he saw another man in power attempt another one. So when he said "time to play by their rules," he decided to "turn the tables." I don't think he would have done it if he didn't just see Stryker attempt it himself. I think it was done out of anger and since he saw the opportunity. So, a crime of passion and not premeditated. It was still horrible, of course, but I don't think it was out of character.

Twiska Brand

Going to the bit where they made fun of mutants with pathetic powers, that's an actual thing they covered. One of which was a kid who was excited after hearing he had gotten powers and the chance to be a superhero, only to be shot down when his powers were revealed to be a one-time use where he literally blows himself up (he got tested by the X-Men). I don't remember how extreme the explosion would be, but it wasn't on a level that would level a city. Then as he and his parents were leaving the compound, a villain showed up and killed his parents in the crossfire.

Connor Clemmons

Already know the next movie will blown your mind 🤣🤣🤣

Felix Rojas V.

Cyclops is a cuck

Fei Ashtear

At the very least he must had many during the "ciclops was right" era

Felix Rojas V.

I Do think it’s funny, in the movies they have Jean act all conflicted over Logan. When in the comics Scott’s a serial cheater. Would like to know if there any actual Scott fans

Frodo zaddy

It's so funny that the movies hate Cyclops so much that it actually ends making you kind of root for him because he has to take so much shit.

Deep Red

I can't wait til Alicia sees Wolverine and Deadpool.

Mikal Adkins

Why it sound like she dog sitting Iggy lmao

Davenknox

i like how the two of them go from wolverine dickriding and cyclops hateboner to at least acknowledging how bad the movies did cyclops

bloodyshadow1

What did she spoil????

Egregore

Doggo eat taco bell?

Adrian

Also, in the comics they had time to develop it. The movies didn't.

Zersix

While i dont enjoy this forced Logan x Jean thing i dont think the last line bout choosing Scott was entirely romantic in a sense, more like she choose to die to keep Scott alive. But yeah it did sound awful. ALSO, not that much of a tech guy but wasn't Blackbird (their plane) suposed to be undetectable?

Noel

Don't worry Cyclops, you'll get the respect you deserve with Sonic and co.

Thaïsgrün

for some context on that final shot of the lake. Jean has a power inside her called the Pheonix Force. In the comics it is quite literally a cosmic power that can posess the bodies of powerful beings, in this case it chose Jean.

Blue Lightning

I can't even say why Kurt wagged his tail at the interaction, cuz it's meta knowledge and I dunno if it'll come up later in the MCU. This sucks.

Kyutoko

The thing with Magneto’s writing in the finale that really upsets me is that it would work perfectly if they just changed it from “kill them” to “change them”. Or they could also specify “all the humans that hate mutants” instead of just “all of the humans”.

Egregore

Doggo Ripping ass

Leih'to Lyehga

Sadly the love triangle of Jean, Logan, and Scott is a prevalent part of their stories, especially in the comics. Obviously Jean and Scott are always endgame, but Logan and Jean always have a weird romantic "will they won't they" thing going on.

PokéBoyBB

In regards to Jean Grey always being shot certain ways, we're seeing her from Logan's pov. And he's head over heels for her. Plus since his mutation is animalistic in nature, it's very likely he has an effect with pheromones, which is why Jean may seem overly receptive to him.

Ryan Torres

I dont know if you catched that but early X-Men movie's were heavy on the metaphor mutant people /gay people. The scène with ice boy "coming out" to his parents is really well done when you understand the double meaning. The phrase "have you tried bot being a mutant ?" Is funny if you dont have the metaphor and really well thought when you have it.

Note

29:26 I just imagined Cyclops walking into the garage and in a Peewee Herman voice "Where's my bike!"

Chanfyr

1:53:19 Dead? she's not really....the brightest one...

Azel !!

We need a Lexi cam NOW!!!!

Egregore

It really just depends on whether or not the writers are cowards. Just let Logan hit the Cyclussy, bro.

nervouspirate

The Jean wolverine and cyclops relationship is weird in the comics like sometimes it’s a poly relationship with them and the other times it’s a love triangle

Ironthunder

55:50 In the movie Colossus is a student. In the comics he is an adult Russian man.

Trevor Appel

also these movies are NOT a good introduction to x-men lore 😂

Rej

"This is the darkest timeline" oh honey you have no idea how dark the x-men timelines can get 😭

Rej

1:10:08 well she started stripping right in front of him without even telling him to go out or turn around.

Azel !!

Sorry I should have clarified. I meant he is a shitty person in the comics. Although I don't know the full story

Jordan Finch

nah Cyclops is done BETTER in the comics. He is a whole ass revolutionary and he might be shitty as a person, but as a LEADER he does amazing. Too bad he sucks at being a good person outside of being a leader

WillGlacier

Unfortunately from what I know, Cyclops is done worse in the comics.

Jordan Finch

I agree. The reaction suffers especially when the other person consistently spoils powers or distracts from important or emotional scenes, or spoils a reveal instead of just letting it happen. At the end of the day, it's her choice, and some of us can just not watch but i've been seeing more comments about it

Chosaku_

Alicia please. Watch any of the X Men cartoons please. I promise you any of them are better than the movies and gives more depth to the characters

Justin Garlington

There are canonically mutants with non cool powers in x men, like a guy who's skin and muscle is slime, or my favorite, a guy who's power is that he explodes, once, because he can't survive his own explosion.

Ian (unimportant last name)

????? huh? He said he was gonna use the machine on the world leaders during their conference or whatever you call it, did you even pay attention to the movie???

WillGlacier

sameeee I GENUINLY hope they put Nightcrawler in Marvel Rivals he is legit my favorite Xman (and they BETTER give him a pirate skin)

WillGlacier

Honestly, drugging a random guy and to use him as a delivery method for Erik's escape is like pretty damn tamed compared to what comic book Mystique has done. . . Like, her and her wife are probably two of the most awful people who know and enjoy being awful in comic books. She by herself ends up outpacing Magneto in terms of shit she does in the comics.

RF

The movies really, really wanted to shill Wolverine at Cyclops' expense. Wolverine is cool and everything, but he doesn't hold the team together the way Cyclops does. It's just not in his character.

Rx1867

Nightcrawler and Gambit my favorite X-Men

Jaffar Black Fang

Magneto nearly killed 8 million people in X1, he outright states he wanted genocide.

Andrew

Oh god, the dog's been doing this since YESTERDAY?! xD

dz1jgmeyer

The two of them talking about how Cyclops got screwed over in this movie fills me with such joy. Even without knowledge of other X-Men related things, they understand that he's the leader and that he shouldn't be getting cucked by Wolverine.

DerRed02

Oh I ain't fighting shit I am just here to laugh at their dumbass whilst spending money. It's like Addicts saying "I need to quit" whilst buying another 12 pack And Ik that is a fucked up analogy but god is it funny to me

WillGlacier

Hugh jackman looked great but did you see the tits and ass on all the women? Damn. Also, I’m not sure they heard a single thing said throughout this film. I miss the solo react films.

ichigo

you're fighting ghosts. People can complain if they want

Christian Clark

You gotta roll over, stare deeply into your lover's eyes, and then fart. That way it's more funny and the fart is mostly going in the other direction.

Nicholas Reed

I don't think I'll ever forget that guard's death. "Too much iron" is too damned ominous to forget

Sam Brown

Senator Kelly was played by the same actor as in X-Men (2000), Bruce Davidson.

Scrubthulhu

Look, I had no idea who Adora was prior to her yapping the last movie and after watching an extensive video on ~train law~, I genuinely cannot wait to hear her this movie. lmao

Amir Shipp

No, Logan asked for beer and ice man said “this is a school”. Y’all were just talking over it.

Gai Valentine

she didn't tho, people are just being dramatic about her pointing out things as they were happening like they were spoilers. Like talking about Wolverines healing factor after he re-tracted his claws and the skin healed up, or the fact that Magneto was the little kid from the concentration camp (as if those things weren't obvious as fuck, but sure, "whole movie")

WillGlacier

Let’s hope Adora doesn’t spoil some stuff like last time

Yovan_Night

And for any Marvel Rivals fans, she is Magiks older brother

WillGlacier

The only complaint I saw last video was the other girl spoiling the whole movie last time, let's see how this one goes.

Azel !!

The big kid is Colossus, Piotr Rasputin. Russian kid, can have skin of near-invulnerable organic metal.

Adam

Let's goooooooo ! Also can't wait for the multiple comments complaining about Adora and Alicia talking like last time ! (I swear PAYING money for reactions and complaining about people talking is wild to me lmao)

WillGlacier

suffered from terrible food poisoning last night needed something great to watch as i recover
