MAGNETO IS A TOP TIER VILLAIN! Our First Time Watching *X2 X-MEN UNITED* (2003) [REACTION] 

Jean able to hold off the water, prevent Nightcrawler from teleporting, fly the jet, and speak through Charles all at the same time. 😳

The "Why is he German" cracked me up😂 Such a random question lol!

"Kill anyone who approaches, even if it's me..." Stryker said that because it could be Mystique disguising herself.

Fun fact Storm or Ororo Munroe‘s powers aren’t just wether manipulation. Storm has the ability to control and manipulate atmospheres and ecosystems on a molecular level, this means that storm can control the gases that make up an atmosphere, cause hurricanes, summon lighting and thunder, make it rain, pull the oxygen out of the air, breathe under water, breathe in space, fly, fly in space using solar wind, summon cosmic thunder and lighting, erupt volcanoes, cause tsunami’s modify temperature, distort electrical fields in people’s brains, move the sunn, and so much more. Storm is also extremely skilled at hand to hand combat, has magical potential, has been worshiped as a god and is immune to all extreme environments. Halle berry fraught tirelessly for storm to have more to do in the films, but Fox didn’t think people would be interested in storm being more then a side character or so they said despite the huge popularity the character gained in mainstream media after the films were released. Storm has also been a leader of the x-men team witch is a part of her larger story referenced in the films and is the wife of black panther. Storm has huge ties with Wakanda and because of this fans hope to see her in a solo film or turn up as the first or one of the first x men in the MCU showing of all here powers, so to sum it up you have great taste MRS October. Side note i think the long hair looks good MR October.

In one version of the comics, Nightcrawler is Mystique’s son and she adopted Rogue at one point. Rogue also stole Carol Danvers’s powers so she has super strength and can fly.

👍🙂❤ Nightcrawler is german because he was born in Germany. 👍🙂❤

I think you guys didnt catch that when Stryker gave Magneto that serum shot at the back of neck, its like making them compliant and follow orders. So, basically Magneto told him everything he wanted to know and he couldnt resist because of the drug.

Mystique gives dude a shot of weird stuff. Magneto pulls iron out of his blood. Yall- is he taking too many iron pills???? 😂

"Why is he German?" Because Nightcrawler is a German character. He's also religious. X-Men has characters with different nationalities - Wolverine is Canadian, Storm is African (though here she doesn't have the accent because I think Halle Berry couldn't do it) & If you noticed the student who could turn metallic, that's Colossus & he's Russian (but they didn't do the character right until the 1st Deadpool movie). Also, that's what the actual actress who plays Mystique looks like, Rebecka Romijn.

Vibranium and adamantium are not the same type of metal but both exist in the MCU. It's just we haven't been introduced to adamantium yet. Vibranium is sound absorbent with durability being three times stronger than titanium steel while also being a third of the weight. Vibranium is undetectable to metal detective it can be used in different type of weapons and can be weave into clothing while also being able to repair damaged tissue. On the other hand adamantium is heavy while also being 5 times more durable than titanium steel. Adamantium is highly conductive to electricity and heat. The only true drawback to adamantium is highly toxic to skin cells.

The hot blonde in the bar is Rebecca Romijn. She is the one who actually plays Mystique.

Wait wait, you thought the guy beating up magneto... brainwashing him... you thought he was "working for magneto" 😂😂😂

In the comic books, Wanda and her brother are the children of Magneto

If you recall Magneto and Xavier talking in the plastic prison at the end of the first movie, they foreshadowed Stryker attacking the school.

The metallic man is Piotr aka Colosuss. Magneto helmet is a special metal that blocks psychic abilities.

The woman logas fights is lady DEATH STRIKE. badass

Y'all are so lost in parts of the story of these movies😂😂 hopefully during editing y'all get a better grasp on powers, abilities, and the plot. Love y'all either way ❤

*I've had frequent visits from William Stryker* - Magento to Xavier, after we just saw Stryker in Magneto's cell. "Who is Styker?" "Um, Stryker is that guy. The President - right?" "No Stryker is a mutant." "No his son is." Cripes.

As a child of the 80's and 90's, we grew up with the cards, comics, the cartoons, the games and absolutely LOVED the X-MEN. This was the actual beginning of the Marvel Universe on screen. The first film seemed to be hesitant, not knowing which direction to go in. There were so many stories to go in understandably. But this is when the series hits its stride and is absolutely amazing...even Uncanny.

Kevin Feige, the head of the MCU, was the associate producer on the first 3 X-Men films. "I was afraid you were going to transfer to Auburn." Dude🤣

Mr. October: "Ain't that such an invasion of privacy though?" Ms. October: "Yeah but isn't it majestic AF though?" Bahaha, you guys are awesome. The X-Men are a general metaphor for marginalized people and how society treats them, so there is often a political thread running through the stories. If mutants were embraced and loved for their powers instead of feared or weaponized, the stories would be very different. Dealing with "bad" mutants should be the same as dealing with "bad" humans, on an individual basis. Seeing these old X-Men movies is so wild. Very different from modern day superhero movies.

What I like about the X-Men characters is that no one is strictly "good" or "bad". Everyone has their motives. I'm looking forward to your reaction to #XMenFirstClass.

It's funny how in the first movie Rogue told Logan to wear his seatbelt before he flew out the window of his camper. In this movie Rogue got sucked out of the plane because she wasn't wearing her seatbelt.

Jason Stryker was called the Illusionist in this film, able to create illusions in people's minds to confuse their sense of what's real, however in the comics his mutant power is to project a blinding white light from his body which can render people unconscious. Magneto isn't truly interested in wiping out the X-Men, because they're still mutants and they're still part of his 'people' if you will. He's still hoping he can win them over to his point of view and thus become that much stronger against what he sees as the true threat: humans.

I like that magneto and pyro are in the same class... as in neither of them can create the element but control it... elemental controllers... stryker also said kill him too if he approaches because he was clever enough to think mystique could take his form

54:26 “Her eyes just went out” So glad you noticed this detail because it’s often gets overlooked. When they’re under the influence their eyes are silver. The drug wore off just as she was dying. That’s why her expression softened as she looked at Logan. It’s actually pretty sad. Great reaction!

The opening scene of this movie is one the best action sequences in any comic movie ever

You guys are definitely going to enjoy this one.

The metal guy is called colossus

Bro , how the hell did you jump to the conclusion that the military was under magnetos control!?

No. Wanda and Pietro are Magneto’s children.

Everytime I see anything X-Men related, makes me can't wait to see Deadpool 3 even more

In the Comics Nightcrawler is the son of Mystique and a Mutant named Azazel, (whom won't be introduced until X-Men First Class. Just rememberKurt's powers and you'llknow).

In the comics, Scott , Bobby and Jean were among Charles’s 1st students. At one point they were captured so Charles recruited Logan, Storm, Kurt, and Peter.

can't wait till you get into the x-men first class movies

I LOVE how you guys research terms and lore between movie/ show episodes. Shows dedicating

It's awesome that you guys are really loving the older pre-MCU Marvel movies! 😄Hope you eventually get around to watching other Marvel heroes, such as; *Blade* (1998), *Hulk* (2003), *Daredevil* (2003), *The Punisher* (2004), *Elektra* (2005), *Fantastic Four* (2005), *Ghost Rider* (2007)

She shot the iron shavings into him during the bar bathroom scene, so he could yank it out as a weapon.

24:20 Magneto has nothing to do with what Striker is doing. That liquid thingy that he put on Magneto's neck is a way to control him making him comply in revealing everything about the school and cerebro.

Vibranium and Adamantium are 2 different metals and in the comics captain america shield is made with a mix of both metals because they didnt have enough Vibranium to make it out of full Vibranium and thats why cap mcu shield is weak compared to the comic one and if mcu cap had the comic shield thanos would've never been able to break it like he did in endgame

I can’t wait to see how yall interpret the X-Timeline. It’s easier to make sense of once you’ve seen ALL the films.

Mutants are a potential danger but to be blunt that "kid having a bad day" scenario has happened too many times in our history with just regular people. Adults too. Humans and mutants all have a choice to be good or evil

I love how X-Men are based out of my home of Westchester, New York and i can tell you, we definitely got some mutants up in this piece.

Nightcrawler was so badass in this one, sadly we've never really gotten the full scope of how cool some of the characters' powers can be, but we got a glimpse of his at least, honestly would've taken a whole movie full of scenes like that opening with the white house... In the comics he teleports by traveling through a hostile dimension which is why Sulphur and smoke and brimstone puff into a cloud everytime he teleports, he's leaving a little bit of that other atmosphere behind, also if he teleports you it's extremely taxing on your body, so sometimes during fights he uses teleports to save people but also he would grab an enemy and then teleport many times in a row very quickly and although he's okay because he's used to it, it makes the enemy pass out. We've even seen him use that technique to slow down Wolverine in the comics, teleporting him hundreds of times extremely fast to the point where he can't even stand.

In the comic books, magneto is Wanda’s father And Wanda is a mutant She’s from the X-Men comic books

And yes Wolverine's claws do hurt everytime they come out... which is why he says (in the comics) "I only bring these out when I fully intend to kill, thats the only thing that makes that pain worth it". Also as for him bein the only adult at the school.. hes more than enough. He could take out a whole army by himself... the things hes done... Lets just say Id rather take my chance fighting the Hulk than fighting him. Also fun facts Lady Deathstrike (the girl with the nails) is Wolverine's ex wife and Storm is Black Panthers ex wife... and since the movies never tell you this Mystique is Nightcrawlers mother and Rogues (adoptive) mother. Also no adamantium and Vibranium are different

1:15:00 the Professor didn't shock the president, he even Said it wasnt a treat, he gave documents about the other who wanna start the war. Jean was talking in the end of the movie, for US to know She ain't death, Also, this movies are based from the cómics and anime, who was already fan knows that Jane can Turn into a Phoenix and that the figure in the water that you saw. She is the most powerful mutant 💅💪 I recommend you to watch the anime in the 90s of X-men. It was so cool 😍

Wolverine always had the healing factor, super senses, and claws, but the claws used to be bone. Mutant powers are a little more interesting because they always have a drawback and aren't always good even, like some people just get purple fur and people hate them, not everyone gets the S-tier powers and even those usually have drawbacks like Rogue

Remembering the book Magneto was reading but forgetting things like Magneto taking the helicopter cracked me up more than it should have.

Mystique isn't evil- she is an old friend of Professor X and a very complex character who was ridiculed and bullied growing up for looking blue; helps understand why she follows Magneto's ideology. It is also why she say to Nightcrawler (her long lost son) that they shouldn't have to hide their true form.

“It comes up out of the basketball court…” I would have been like, “My guy, so you realize how crazy you sound?” 😂😂😂

When it comes to Magneto and Professor X, they are not enemies in the sense that they are trying to kill each other. They are fighting for mutant rights but they just have conflicting theologies on how to obtain it. They really are old friends that still are. They still share a mutual respect and brotherly love for each other.

Stryker- My son screwed with our minds Stryker's son gets wheeled in.... Yall- I wonder what he can do? 😂

IMO this is the B E S T X-Men movie until X-Men Days Of Future Past! The two BEST movies in the X-Men movies history! Love you guys and hope your 2024 is ROCKIN!

Magneto told Striker about the school and Cerebro but not of his own choice. He was drugged. When Charles and cyclops went to visit magneto, Charles asked magneto “what did you tell him?” And maybes to said “everything, you should’ve killed me when you had the chance!” Also marvel has many different ways of giving people powers but the only way to be considered a mutant is to be born with the x gene that gives you powers. But if they manage to give someone without the x gene powers the general Public will assume they’re a mutant because they have powers and can’t be differentiated unless they’re tested

In the comics, some crossover with the avengers Jean is a nexus being - which is any person with the power and capability to drastically affect probability / reality and time Wanda is also a nexus being Wanda and Pietro are Magneto’s children Storm and Black Panther get married Rogue has the ability to fly because she steals Ms. Marvels power There have been a bunch of avengers who have been in xmen and Vice versa

Nightcrawler despite looking like a Demon is deeply religious and a very good person . In the comic books he and Wolverine are best friends .Nightcralr was controled by Stryker when he tried to kill the President .

In the comics Scott, Jean and Wolverine become a thrupple. Also, Wanda and Pietro are Magneto's children. Magneto also has two other mutant children: Lorna Dane and Zaladane.

Waiting for the best X3 reaction

Nightcrawler is one of just a few german superheroes besides Dr. Abraham Erskin (Captain America) and young Magneto. I love to see this. Germans are almost ever the villains. Nazis, Hydra, mad scientists and so on. Nightcrawler shows the heart-warming, selfless, christianity, and protective character of the germans. Its just cool to see the good side of the germans and their morals. The actor did by the way a great job in pronouncing german words. It wasn't really accurate but these were really hard words to pronounce. So it was a very good job.

Can’t wait for X3 Whewww get ready !!!!

Dudes! You guys really have to pay better attention. It was clear that Magneto had nothing to do with orchestrating the raid on the school, or the experiment on Logan to give him the adamantium. Stryker was not a mutant. All the conclusions you came to early were wrong cause you're too busy talking or trying to be funny. I'm sorry, I don't want to be so critical, but it's frustrating. And Magneto told Charles that Stryker made him disclose everything about the school and Cerebro. Magneto is as much of a victim of Stryker as Charles is.

Nightcrawler is german but raised with a romani circus so kinda travelled everywhere before he joined the XMen

In Logan's past, he had a love interest, Rose, who was like Jean Grey, a redhead, with no mutant abilities, when his mutant powers manifested. He was in love with her, but she fell in love with someone else, Jean reminds him of her. That's why Logan was drawn to Jean. They never explored that in any of the movies. Logan was born in the 1880s, I think, the love interest aspect happened in that time period, in the Canadian territories.

This isn't a spoiler because the character hasn't been in any movies yet, but, in the comics, Rogue did end up with a boyfriend that she could touch. Remy (Gambit). He's an XMan and the energy that sourrounds his body makes him immune to rogues touch or something. I am hopeing we see an iteration of him in the future of the MCU. He's a cajun guy and he throws playing cards. it's a thing ;)

When Mystique is "grace" at the bar that is the actual actress without the makeup.

That scene with Bobby talking to his parents about being a mutant is very meaningful. It is a representation of an LGBTQ+ person coming out to their parents. The X-Men were created in the 1960s at the height of the civil rights movement. In the stories, mutants are an allegory for persecuted minorities hated and persecuted by society just for being who they are. The film's director, Brian Singer, said in an interview that this scene was the most important and special for him as he was openly gay. Bobby's mother's line asking "But have you ever tried not to be a mutant" has a very profound impact because most of us have heard this from a relative or friend. Currently, Iceman, one of the most important and powerful characters in the X-men, is also a gay character in the comics.

Great reaction! In some ways this one was my favorite of the 13 X-men universe films

You said you didn’t know these films would be so political. Well, the comics that inspired them, and the themes they cover are wrapped up in sociology. The books were always about social issues. Racism, equality, social justice, tribalism, etc, are all topics that the X comics go into. It’s at the heart of the books themselves. And remember, comics are just another medium for us to use to gain a deeper understanding of our own species and the human condition, whether we know it or not. 😊 That big “metallic man” is a popular X character called “Colossus.” He’s awesome. I know you guys aren’t comic readers, but things like that get us fans PUMPED- to see cameos of other characters making it into the films. There are actually lots of easter eggs and callbacks and mentions of other characters. In the first film, the senator mentions a girl in Illinois who can walk through walls, and they ask what’s to stop her from walking into a bank vault. The girl they mentioned is another X character called “Shadowcat.” There are lots of other Easter eggs like that throughout the films.

The "girl wolverine" is named Lady Deathstrike. She is a prominent Wolverine villain in the comics. Shes not related to Wolverine, but he did know her many years ago when he lived in Japan. She was also a part of the Weapons Plus program, like Wolverine, Deadpool, Sabertooth and others.

You two are so goddamn adorable, watching your reactions is an absolute joy.

"MAGNETO IS A TOP TIER VILLAIN!" - This is also true in the comics. Magneto (created in 1963) still ranks as one of the top most iconic villains in all of Marvel. - Why Mutants? As the Marvel Universe grew, Stan Lee & Jack Kirby found it increasingly difficult to come up with unique origin stories for all super heroes and villains. Saying many were born with a mutant gene solved this issue for a lot of characters. - According to Marvel Database, there are currently over 80,000 characters in the Marvel Multiverse.

For non-comic readers, Nightcrawler is Mystique's son.

"What can he do?" After they _just_ explained what he can do. 😂

58:22 "I animalized your azz" is crazy 😂😂😂

'The Once and Future King' - Arthurian legend, Knights of the Round Table, the Holy Grail

Logan holding Scott is one of my favorite parts of any X-Men film.

The thing about Nightcrawler is no matter how stealthy he is...every time he teleports you hear the pop of the air imploding not to mention the sulfur cloud and sulphur smell. In the comics Nightcrawler is related to Mystique (mother). Nightcrawler was created by X-Men artist Dave Cockrum. He was the new artist for the all new all different X-Men who appeared in Giant Size X-Men #1 and subsequently in X-Men #94-107. Then John Byrne artist and Chris Claremont writer took over the reins. Issue #100 had the original X-Men fighting the new X-Men. #105 had the first appearance of Jean Grey as the Phoenix. Wolverine's Adamantium claws are razor sharp. They don't need sharpening. 😂 The X-Men's jet is loosely based on the top secret SR-71 spy plane developed for the military. It is a supersonic jet. 😮 The fire mutants code name is Pyro. The metallic mutant is Piotyr Rasputin a k.a. Colossus. He can turns his flesh into organic steel. So he is super strong and super tough. 😅 Vibranium was created from a meteor that fell on the African continent. Adamantium is an alloy that once it hardens is almost indestructible. But while Adamantium can cut through almost anything Vibranium can cut through Adamantium. 😮

The point of xmen has always been to draw parallels to real life and things like the civil rights movement and the thing with Bobby (IceMan) and his family was like a gay kid coming out to his parents and their reactions to that. So, it's meant to draw from those real life issues. Also, not to confuse you but X-men is Marvel. It's just that the movies aren't directly connected to the MCU movies because at the time, Fox owned the rights to X-men. But now that they're all under Disney, they have brought the X-men characters into the MCU, and you'll start to see them in future MCU projects.

There's a difference between telepathy and telekinesis. Professor X is a telepath so he can get into people's mind. Jean is both, so she can get into people's minds as well as interact with the physical world with her mind. She's rare. Generally you'd only have one. Adamantium and vibranium are two different things. Adamantium is indestructible. Vibranium can absorb kinetic energy. This universe isn't connected to the MCU. But for the longest time in the comics, Magneto was known to be Wanda's and Pietro's father. MCU changed that since X-Men couldn't be part of the MCU because it was Fox. They couldn't even be mutants. Nightcrawler's mother is Mystique in the comics, and Rogue's for a time, too. Rogue and Kurt were siblings.

Wolverine was already a mutant but they made him stronger with the metal because they use mutants and superhumans in war and other combat reasons all throughout the Marvel comic lol. Logan is the main character in the movies but in the comics he’s not always front and center. They just choose him for some reason in the storyline

That was a Phoenix in the water at the end. When Jean used her full power for good she was called the Phoenix. When she uses it for evil in the third one she's called Dark Phoenix.

Stan Lee admitted that creating the X-Men was inspired by the Civil Right's Movements of the 60's. They were arguably the most explicitly political comics he had ever created by that time. As a young gay kid, I really identified with the whole X-Men franchise starting with the 90's cartoon. Being afraid of people finding out what you really are because you know there are people out there that hate and fear you. Politicians rallying against you. I was still in the closet and only 14 when Matthew Shepard happened. I saw this movie in theaters when I was 19 and really felt that line when the mom asks Bobby, "Have you tried Not being a mutant?" After I came out of the closet at 16, I had dozens of people ask me basically that same thing about being gay. I appreciated the allegory here.

Hello Mr. and Mrs. October 👋. You guys are the best 🙂. Magneto is a complex character. My favorite kind.

Stan Lee created X-Men based from the Civil Rights movement. Professor Xavier is based from Martin Luther King Jr. And Magneto is based from Malcolm X. MLK took a more peaceful approach, and Malcom X was more of the aggressor.

Storm eventually marries T'Challa (Black Panther).

Also Wolverine’s claws were bone first, he always had them. Then the adamantium was bonded to his bones & them.

Great reaction and hope you guys go all the way through X-men, even 1st class, young professor X is awesome and James McAvoy is phenomenal 👏 👌 ❤

Hello October Kids!😊 I had to take a 7/11 snack break for this long one.😉 I'm glad you guys are continuing your X-Men journey. The films with them younger are very good too. Great reactions to your second X-Men film, Kids!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

Yaaay glad you guys watched this. X-2 is my favourite X-Men movie.... so so freakin cool. Awesome story and awesome characters. Everyone did great in this one. :) Hiope it's ok to get nerdy here, there's quite a few callbacks to the comic origins in this movie (if you're interested): - The movie was hugely inspired by a popular X-Men comic "God Loves, Man Kills" - William Stryker is main villain but he's a church preacher in this, not a Military Scientist like the movie - You asked why Nightcrawler is German - in the comics he's German and they just kept it from the comics - When Nightcrawler talks to Mystique in that one scene: in the comics, Nightcrawler is Mystique's son in the comics, but the age differences are off in the movies so they just gave them a nice scene together :) - The big muscle guy who turns metal is Colossus from the comics - awesome character (but he's Russian in the comics) - The girl who lets out that loud screeching scream in the school is Siryn, daighter of Banshee - The girl who walks through walls is Kitty Pryde, aka Shadowcat, she features in the third movie. - In the comics, being a mutant was treated the same, as an allegory, for being gay - if you were day, you were shunned and mistreated by society, hence the question from Iceman's Mom "Have you tried 'not' being a mutant?" - always loved that line 1:12:00 - This thing under the water is a huge hint for fans of the comic "who are in the know" and if you don't know, I won't spoil it here. Anyway, loved loved that you guys watched this and loved it. It's so great..... still stands up as an awesome superhero movie today. Really hope the MCU versions of the X-Men hold up so well too and that the stories live up to this standard. :) Really love watching your reactions and love seeing you watch movies that I saw a whole 20 years ago at the cinema.... still can't believe they're that old :P Thanks guys. See you in next one,

The fire scene is very reminiscent of Firestarter.

I love Mystique when she says, "Even zerr voice." 😁

Magneto kicks a**

The X-Men is marvel it's just under Fox studios where the MCU is under Disney and marvel studios. Disney bought the rights to X-Men a few yrs ago so now they are part of the mcu

“Why is he german though” is such a wild question lmao. He’s german because he’s german lol. Born in germany.

We have X-Men 3 and X-Men Origins Wolverine on Patreon NOW! www.patreon.com/theoctobers

Man I loved the old X-men movies when i was a kid, glad yall are watching this yo!

Wolverine can smoke as much as he wants. He heals so quick that it doesn't effect him.

Don't feel any way guys. Everyone loves Mystique and Magneto as much as they love the good Xmen. Especially this era.

Mystique as “Grace” is actually Rebecca Romijn (the actress for mystique without any of the makeup)
