Ranking the X-Men Franchise 

Logan, First Class, DOFP and X2 are my favourite films of all time 😉

Crazy that Days of future past, Apocalypse, and Logan are all on the FX channel today. Watching now peace.

Awesome dude. Haven’t seen a bunch of them. Ever since I had kids, I rarely get out. “All work and no play makes a stormtrooper a dull stormtrooper.”

your rankings are actually pretty accurate cody people just have different opinions, can't wait for your child's play review.

Tyler Mane Aka Michael Myers as Sabertooth in the original!

1. Logan 2. Days of Future Past 3. First Class 4. Deadpool 5. X-2 6. X-Men 7. Deadpool 2 8. Dark Phoenix 9. Apocalypse 10. The Wolverine 11. X-3 12. Origins

I saw Dark Phoenix in 4DX and it was amazing. The train scene made the $25 I spent worth it.

I dont think many people will be upset at where you put Dark Phoenix. Unless they're mad because it's not at the bottom.

dude that shirt is so amazing. that is such a low key and specific scene that the general population wouldn't get. Can I ask where you got it?!

Completely agree with the top 3. And yeah, they should've released Logan as the final Xmen film from Fox. Would've been a fantastic way to close out the franchise.

First Class is my favorite in the X-Verse. I just love everything about Magneto in it and Kevin Bacon is one of my favorite villians in a superhero movie period. The little winks they did throughout the movie never really annoyed me as much as it annoyed you. I think First Class is a flawless superhero movie. Havent seen Logan since it came out so i cant really comment on it. What i do remember loving is the scene with Logan, Charles and Laura having dinner with that family.

Dude I just watched like, 8 or 9 of your videos and pretty much agreeed with you on everything spot on! Great content, glad I recently subscribed

Great video Cody. I can't do a ranking tbh bc I haven't seen half of those movies I hope to soon

Just saying, when Spider-Man: Far From Home comes out, you should rank all 42 cinematic universe superhero movies (MCU, DCEU, Fox) in a video, it would be awesome! 👌🏻

Im so surprised you didn't put Deadpool number one! Great video buddy

Days of Future Past is my favorite only because of how awesome my theatre experience with it was

That tee is dope af! I would probably rank them in a similar order if I had to be honest, so good work mate. Church's eyes arent as poignant as they normally are I've noticed

Totally agree about First Class!!.Way too many wink and nod moments and absurd fan service.

I'm honestly baffled why so many people rank first class so high, perhaps since it came after x3 and wolverine? Seriously its decent but people saying its better than x2 is mind boggling

My Ranking (Excluding Deadpool because it'll top everyone of these movies) 10. X-Men The Dark Phoenix 9. X-Men Origins Wolverine 8. X-Men Apocalypse 7. The Wolverine 6. X-Men 5. X-Men The Last Stand 4. X2: X-Men United 3. Logan 2. X-Men First Class 1. X-Men Days of Future Past

Awesome ranking man. Great video. I agree with all your choices. Kinda sad to see it go out with a whimper.

1: The Wolverine (My favorite superhero) 2: The First Five Seconds of Days Of Future Past

Nice one, Cody! I always enjoy watching your ranking videos - this one does not disappoint. Just wondering... are you a fan of the RAMBO films? Given that the Fifth and final film is coming soon, it'd be interesting to see you rank the Rambo series.

Hey cody i love all of the videos that you've put out and i was wondering if u can do a commentary for rob zombies halloween 2 cuz I'm like one of the only subscribers u have that loves that movie

The only thing I would change in my list is switch first class and DP2 and that's it I really liked your list

Really good list! I agree with the list

Logan is so sooo soooooo good!!!!

Excellent video 👏🏾 😎

Cody what’s the song you had in the background it’s fire Lmaoo

The post credit scene was awesome because they did something brilliant.

Great ranking.

1. Logan 2. DOFP 3. DP2 4. X2 5. DP 6. First Class 7. X-Men 8. Wolverine 9. The Last Stand 10. Apocalypse 11. Dark Phoenix 12. Origins

I think The Wolverine is better than Deadpool 2

1. X-Men: Days Of Future Past (2014): the best of the X-men movies with a great story. Great use of time travel and also a great way to bring together two different casts of the franchise! They went all out on this and succeeded greatly. So that’s why it’s my favorite. 2. X2: X-Men United (2003): still one of the greatest comic book films ever made. I think it was ahead of its time. 3. Logan (2017): Jackman’s finest and final hour as Wolverine!! Yes, it’s not my my number one like yours (it certainly deserves to be, but I have love for the next two too much to do so). But this movie is just awesome and makes me cry almost every time I get to the end. Thank you Hugh Jackman. I think him and Patrick Stewart were robbed of of Oscar nominations. They both deserved it. And what a find for Daphne Keen who plays the young girl, Laura!! 4. X-Men: First Class (2011): perfectly cast with a younger group. Love the setting and don’t mind the silly nods. Plus I liked the director’s choices. Plus the new cast didn’t get to try to emulate the previous actors performances. I loved it. 5. X-Men (2000): (A lot of nostalgia for me on this movie. Didn’t see it on the big screen but I remember loving it after I rented it. It’s perfectly cast and has a good story. 6. The Wolverine (2013): Man the first half and most of the story is so good. Hugh Jackman gives a wonderful performance. Also I like the places they took Wolverine and the uncut version of this film. If tried to be more than a typical comic book film. And if mostly succeeded. The last act isn’t my favorite, but it’s not the worst. 7. Deadpool 2 (2018): The new characters of Domino and Cable were worthwhile. I also like the story a bit more than the first. 8. Deadpool (2016): hilarious and fun. Vulgar for the sake vulgarity at times, but I think it’s great. Also had an interesting way of telling of the story. 9. X-Men: Apocalypse (2016): I didn’t hate this in theaters, but after rewatching it at home, I realized how disappointing it was. I feel like the villain should have been better developed over a few movies rather stuffed in that one because he had so much potential. 10. X-Men: the Last Stands (2006): A lot better than most people say. As a kid in theaters I loved it. But overall, after a rewatch as an adult, I realize it’s bad. Lol tried to be too many things. 11. X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)-haven’t seen it yet, not anticipating it really. But I’m anticipating putting it here. 12. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009): Hugh Jackman’s performance is the only worthwhile thing in this film. And the cool montage of his life in the wars.

Why was there no ads? I usually just watch them and don't skip as I feel it helps you out.

First reaction! Nice nice.... Now I have to watch the Xmen saga....

Great ranking man!

Cool video again ❤️

1. Logan - Definitley the best film. It’s the most prestigious in the series and it’s nice to finally see some Rated R Wolverine action. 2. Days Of Future Past - I think this is head and shoulders the best X-Men movie and there’s plenty of days where I like this more than Logan. Logan gets #1 for ranking purposes but the movies are basically neck and neck for me. 3. First Class - The perfect way to introduce the X-Men. The Magneto/Professor X dynamic set up here is the best it’s ever been. 4. Deadpool - I knew this would be action packed and hilarious, but the movie is way more heartfelt film than I ever thought it would be, and that’s really what gets it ranked so high. 5. X2 - The best classic X-Men movie by a mile. One of the best examples of taking a good first movie and improving on it in every way. 6. The Wolverine - Logan & The Wolverine are pretty similar movies when you look at it, and I love both movies a lot because of it. I love the wrinkle of Logan being vulnerable and the Japanese setting. I don’t even mind the Silver Samurai, I thought it looked cool. This movie being at 6 isn’t because of anything this movie did wrong, it’s just that the movies above it are just better. 7. Deadpool 2 - The first time I saw this I was upset the whole movie because of Vanessa getting killed. Rewatches are much better with the knowledge that she’ll be okay. This is a fun movie and I appreciate the higher budget allowing the action to pop even more than it already did. 8. Apocalypse - I really don’t know why this movie gets such a bad rap. This is another case where it’s nothing this movie does blatantly wrong that has it this low it’s just not as good as the movies above it. I love the scale of this movie and how much awesome X-Men content is packed in here. 9. X-Men - an important movie in the CBM genre that shows its age for sure. I was never huge on this movie, but I started showing my girlfriend the X-Men movies in preparation for Deadpool III (she’s only seen the first 2 Deadpool’s before we were dating) and I enjoyed it more on this watch than I ever had before. It moved up a few spots because of that. 10: Dark Phoenix - I skipped this in theaters which I almost never do for CBM’s but when I finally got around to watching it I actually enjoyed it. The suits are ridiculous but I like the kind of pseudo X-Men Civil War arc that Jean kicks off in this movie. The final action scene is awesome too especially Magneto. 11. The Last Stand - this movie definitely has its issues but I still think there’s too much good here for it to be considered as bad as it is. I think this movie works as the beginning of a terrible future that must then be corrected by DOFP. I get that wasn’t the original vision, but that’s how I choose to watch this. Magneto getting cured was really poetic and Wolverine taking out Jean is an all time moment. 12. The New Mutants - another movie that I skipped in theaters. I wasn’t excited for this AT ALL and only watched it like 2 days ago to finally get it over with. I actually ended up really liking this movie honestly, it’s just that I would choose to watch every movie ranked over it before this one again. That being said I am a little sad this never got followed up on, I actually liked the characters which I was not expecting. 13. Origins - The only movie on this list that I would say is bad. Honestly I can still watch it for the stupid cool Wolverine & Gambit action, but there’s nothing of substance here, and the way they handled Deadpool is mind boggling. I’m a pretty forgiving person with CBM’s, I like most of them honestly but that was one decision I just couldn’t understand. You want to make Galactus a cloud? I can at least see why a studio would think that’s scarier than a big purple man. I can’t see any reason why anyone would think Deadpool here is acceptable.

Kinda funny how a solo wolverine film is the worst, yet the best is his last, also being solo. VERY happy they went for the R rating in Logan, that’s the kind of sendoff Hugh Jackman needed, going out on a massive bang instead of a whimper.

Not seen that many «X-men» movies. Never been a fan» But, «Logan» is a masterpiece. Deadpool awesome! Love the Wolverine movie.

Hey Cody for sure Logan is number one. Love that film. Great ending to the wolverine. I actually cried at the end it was so good. Good video. Thanks for sharing. Shape on!!!! 🎃

Original ending for dark Phoenix was supposed to have the skulls but MCU was using them in Capt marvel

Humm let´s see: 1 - Logan 2 - X-Men 2 3 - Deadpool 4 - Deadpool 2 5 - Days of Future Past 6 - The Wolverine 7 - X-Men 8 - First Class 9 - Apocalypse 10 - Last Stand 11 - Origins

I still can't believe that Professor X had a twin in X-Men Last the Stand.

Good list 👍🏻. Here is my Ranking-list of the X-Men Movies: 1. Logan 2. X-Men: Days of Future Past 3. X-Men 2 4. Deadpool 2 5. X-Men: First Class 6. Deadpool 7. X-Men 8. The Wolverine 9. X-Men: Apocalypse 10. X-Men 3: The Last Stand 11. X-Men: Dark Phoenix 12. X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Good job Cody 👏👍👍👏. I think there was nothing good about these FOX movies, but to each their own haha. I am just excited about what Marvel Studios is gonna do with X-Men and Fantastic Four. I don't know where the X-Men where the whole time while the Avengers were running around?

I have watched a lot of your videos and I never noticed Michael Myers looking in the window. I just saw him and it really scared me.

I haven’t seen Dark Phoenix and The New Mutants yet and I do tend to change my mind from time to time. 1) Logan 2) Days of Future Past 3) Deadpool 4) First Class 5) Deadpool 2 6) X2 7) X-Men 8) The Wolverine 9) Apocalypse 10) The Last Stand 11) X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Great Ranking 13. X Men: Origins Wolverine Here on up I don't hate these films 12. Dark Phoenix 11. X Men: Apocalypse 10. X Men 3: The Last Stand 9. The Wolverine 8. Deadpool 2 7. The New Mutants 6. X Men: First Class 5. X Men 2000 4. X2: X Men United 3. X Men: Days of Future Past 2. Deadpool 1. Logan

My list: 1. Deadpool 2 2. Login (2017) 3. Deadpool (2016) 4. X Men Days of Future Past 5. The New Mutants (2020) 6. X Men First Class 7. X Men 2 United 8. X Men (2000) 9. The Wolverine (2013) 10. X Men Dark Phoenix 11. X Men Apocalypse 12. X Men The Last Stand 13. X Men Origins Wolverine

I agree with everything on your list, except I would swith Deadpool and Logan. Deadpool could have been so much worse, and could have gone so wrong so fast. Luckly, we got Ryan Reynolds Great video as usual!

Have you ever thought about doing a huge superhero ranking that's not franchise specific? Like, you've done spiderman, batman, xmen, etc. Every think of making one giant ranking with all Fox, Marvel, DC all together? May just be me but I think that'd be pretty cool to see how everything stacks to each other.

The Wolverine was mostly great until the third act.

Here’s my ranking: 12. X-Men Origins: Wolverine 11. Dark Phoenix 10. X-Men: The Last Stand 9. X-Men 8. The Wolverine 7. X-Men: Apocalypse 6. Deadpool 2 5. X2: X-Men United 4. X-Men: First Class 3. X-Men: Days of Future Past 2. Logan 1. Deadpool Dark Phoenix severely disappointed me, as I got really into what they set up in the first 20 minutes which I feel they did not deliver with the rest. They had no idea what to do with Jean the whole movie and the aliens were executed so poorly for playing such a large role in the film. The original X-Men film is good, it’s just colorless and does not give me a reason to care about the core group (Storm, Cyclops, Jean), and the story is pretty messy. Apocalypse builds probably the strongest team of X-Men that I cared about and meshes drama and blockbuster antics pretty seamlessly, though the story does become bloated. First Class has some of the best pacing of the franchise, but Days of Future Past is so fulfilling and has the strongest story and keeps me invested the most. Logan has some pacing issues and I was not sold on the doctor as a villain, as he is pretty weak and that direction was not done particularly well, but Deadpool is the perfect movie from start to finish (absolutely no flaws). I know that’s long, but those are my thoughts!

That's shirt is awesome great ranking

My top 5 would be Logan, Days of Future Past, Deadpool 2, Deadpool and X2. Origins is definitely my least favorite and I've never had a desire to rewatch it after my first viewing.

Ill chime in my list 1. X2 2. Days of Future Past 3. Logan 4. X Men 5. First Class 6. Deadpool 7. The Wolverine 8. X Men 3 9. Dark Phoenix 10. Apocalypse 11. Deadpool 2 12. X Men Origins

I usually don’t put the 2 Deadpool films in the list, but since Cody did, I will. Here’s my list..... oh and I haven’t seen Dark Phoenix yet, I’ll update the list if and when I do see it. 1 X2 2 Logan 3 DOFP 4 First Class 5 Deadpool 6 X-Men 7 The Wolverine 8 Deadpool 2 9 Apocalypse 10 X3 Last Stand 11 Origins Wolverine

Hey on a positive note Logan still technically is the last X-Men film Dark Phoenix is still technically a prequel so yea that’s a fact there

Can we get your top favorite 15 comic book films?

1. Logan 2. DOFP (Rogue Cut - the other cut is good too just prefer this one) 3. Deadpool 4. Deadpool 2 5. The Wolverine (Unleashed Edition) 6. First Class 7. X2 8. X1 9. Apocalypse 10. Dark Phoenix 11. Last Stand 12. Origins Might go back and forth with DP and DP2 as well as The Wolverine and First Class. Same with Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix. Hell I might put Last Stand above dark Phoenix 🤷🏻‍♂️. Basically my list is useless lol I will say just on the surface I think Dark Phoenix is better than Origins and Last Stand but those movies had Hugh Jackman...Dark Phoenix didn’t....so it probably for me makes those if nothing else more watchable.

My list : 1. Logan 2. Deadpool 3. X2 4. X-Men 5. X-Men Days of Future Past 6. The Wolverine 7. Deadpool 2 8. X-Men First Class 9. X-Men The Last Stand 10. X-Men Apocalypse 11. X-Men Origins Wolverine 12. Dark Phoenix

Love the shirt

12: X-Men Origins: Wolverine 11: Dark Phoenix 10: Apocalypse 9: The Wolverine 8: The Last Stand 7: Deadpool 2 6: Deadpool 5: Days Of Future Past 4: X-Men 3: First Class 2: X2 1: Logan

My top 5: Logan, Deadpool, Deadpool 2, The Wolverine and X-Men First Class. I would say X-Men Days of future past but I slept through that whole movie in the theater.

1. Logan. 2. Days of Future Past. 3. First Class. 4. X-2 5. Deadpool. 6. X-Men. 7. Deadpool 2. 8. The Wolverine. 9. Apocalypse. 10. Dark Phoenix. 11. X3. 12. Origins.

I am also a fan who thinks like you do with X-Men First Class. It's a good movie no doubt but I can't believe how much praise this gets by many. I've seen everything from best X-Men movie ever to flat-out best comicbook movie ever. Hey to each their own but that's an amazing reach for me who doesn't even have it top 5 X-Men film either.

Damn man, That's pretty much my ranking too ! Logan is my fav comics flick ever. To me, it's more like a drama for I really feel what Logan & Xavier are going through throughout the movie. I wish Hollywood would make more comic flicks like that instead of safe shit by the numbers (Marvel). Cheers !

Logan is definitely among the top comic book movies of all time. I think the only ones you can even argue as being better are The Dark Knight and Joker (Joker barely counts as a comic book movie, though). I am mostly with you on this ranking. 13. Origins (4/10) 12. The Last Stand (5/10) 11. Dark Phoenix (6/10) 10. The New Mutants (6/10) 9. Apocalypse (7/10) 8. The Wolverine (7/10) 7. Deadpool 2 (7/10) 6. X-Men (8/10) 5. First Class (8/10) 4. Deadpool (9/10) 3. Days of Future Past (9/10) 2. X2 (9/10) 1. Logan (10/10)

There’s still one question over the table: did you cry in Logan movie? Come on!

"Ranking the X-Men franchise" *Mystique:* I think you mean 'X-Women'.

My ranking: 12) X-Men Origins: Wolverine 11) Dark Phoenix 10) X-Men: The Last Stand 9) The Wolverine 8) X-Men: Apocalypse 7) X-Men 6) X2: X-Men United 5) Deadpool 2 4) X-Men: First Class 3) X-Men: Days of Future Past 2) Logan 1) Deadpool

12. Origins 11. Apocalypse 10. Dark Phoenix 9. Last Stand 8. X1 7. The Wolverine 6. Deadpool 2 5. X2 4. First Class 3. Deadpool 2. Days Of Future Past 1. Logan

I much rather prefer dead pool 2 over dead pool

12. Origins Wolverine 11. Dark Phoenix 10. Last Stand 9. Apocalypse 8. Deadpool 2 7. Wolverine 6. X-Men 5. Days of Future Past 4. Deadpool 3. First Class 2. X2 1. Logan

You gotta admit though, Deadpool 2 redeemed the heck out of Juggernaut. He was one of the best aspects of Deadpool 2.

I agree with you on Logan. My top three look like this: 1. Logan 2. X-2 3. x-men days of the future past.

Dig the shirt. Jaws is my fav movie

There's only ten films in this series...the Deadpool movies do not count 10 - Dark Phoenix 9 - Apocalypse 8 - The Wolverine 7 - Origins 6 - Last Stand 5 - X1 4 - 1st Class 3 - X2 2 - Logan 1 - Days/Future Past

They should’ve done a sequel to DAYS OF FUTURE PAST that picks up with the original cast from the End of DOFP… for a true X-men 5

I agree with your rankings! I even agree how J Laws Mystique was the best in Days of Future Past. After that you can tell she was just done with it.

Love Logan, but I have to put Deapool 1 at #1. It's just my absolute favorite.

12 X-Origins Wolverine 11 Dark Phoenix 10 Last Stand 9 Apocalypse 8 Wolverine 7 First Class 6 X men 1 5 Deadpool 2 4 X2 United 3 Days of Future Past 2 Deadpool 1 Logan
