We FINALLY Watched X-MEN (2000) [REACTION] |First Time Watching| Movie Reaction| 

You're on a GOAT journey guys...I started collecting X-Men comics when they came out 40-50 yrs ago... this particular movie is pretty good but the CGI at the time couldn't compete w what the mutants could actually do....the Spiderman movies n whatnot CGI finally started catching up..I can keep going but ur better off just watching....I'm guessing you'll enjoy them🔥🤘🔥good work y'all✌️

That guy TOAD...he's a highly trained martial artist IRL...he was also DARTH MAUL...the red faced sith in Star Wars👍🔥(that got chopped in half😅)

Oh..one more thing... there's HUNDREDS of crossovers with the mutants and marvel universe...it can get confusing 😅

Stan Lee inspiration for professor x and magneto was Martin Luther King and Malcom X , they have the same goals just different methods of achieving those goals

Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen, two greats of the stage and the silver screen. They had known each other since their youth, when they were working for The Royal Shakespeare Company. This is the first time they acted together onscreen, and they have been good friends ever since.

I grew up reading Marvel comics and I love how they could give someone a power so strong but have a drawback, a flaw, that made them afraid of themselves and their own superpowers.

Yea he's always been one of my faves, often underrated both as a leader type and for power.@@testfire3000

they would make an excellent super sense team

Imagine how OP that team is. Would love to see them throw hands with some villains on the big screen

Wolverine doesn't smell danger, he has heightened senses. He smells people

Holy cow so I can assume she’s going to do this in the series

@@TheOctobersReact who knows they might do that in the films i would love to see them do that

I think she was talking about Patrick Dempsey the detective Sidney married lol, James and Patrick were both in Enchanted though.

@anirtakgaming yes that’s exactly who lol

@@anirtakgaming Patrick Dempsey wasn’t in Scream 4

He wasn't physically in it but we did get information that confirmed they got together after Scream 3. ​@@nsasupporter7557

This is incorrect on many levels...

@@eldritchbaobun9976 that the Xmen are an allegory for the civil rights movement is not incorrect. With charles and magneto representing MLK and Malcolm X may be

This is half true. Stan Lee did write the mutants to be an allegory for oppressed minorities, but Charles and Eric being based on public figures MLK & Malcom X has been debunked. It was an accident that they were so similar to them.

“Sookie” (said like Bill, lol)

Sookeeehhh!!!!

you’re making me want to binge that damn show again omg

I first knew her from the movie Fly Away Home. Loved that movie as a kid.

@@betteryourlife865I was crushing on 13 year old Anna Paquin as a 10 year old kid:)

Yes, in fact adamantium is even tougher than vibranium, although it doesn't have as many cool special prooerties.

Adamantium is stronger, but vibranium has the special property of completely cancelling all vibrations when it hits things or things hit it, which is what makes it strong (bullets that hit it lose all kinetic force, not necessarily because the metal is particularly strong). That's how Cap's shield is able to ricochet like it does, it doesn't lose energy when striking objects.

@@neospock5034 True adamantium is indestructible.

@@punkem733 yes true adamantium is indestructible by physical force. Even Thor using all of his godly might or Hulk fully enraged can't do more than put a small dent in true/primary adamantium, while they can completely break or mangle secondary adamantium. But even true adamantium can be destroyed by anti-metal. Fortunately Cap doesn't have any of that.

@@neospock5034 Was that true adamantium? I know years ago marvel retconned all the times we saw adamantium destroyed by saying all those moments it was secondary adamantium, and that true adamantium is truly indestructible.

lol that’s pretty cool.

You’re off by 6 inches haha. At his peak was 6’9 with thick boots on.

He's always been kind of a boring character. The "straight man", serious, business-like. It's not his fault, he's just got to be the no-nonsense, field team leader. If and when they ever bring him into the MCU, they should write him some scenes where his personality can really shine. His powers are fairly limited in flexibility. All he can do is shoot very powerful blasts from his eyes. Great as a destructive weapon, but not much use for anything else. Unlike most of the other X-Men: Storm can manipulate weather in many different ways, use the wind to fly, hit people with lightning; Wolverine has his claws, regeneration, and heightened senses; Iceman can encase people in ice, make structures out of ice, use ice to slide along the ground really fast; etc.

In the comics (before they tried to retcon it to downplay the X-Men when they didn't have the rights to put them in the MCU yet), Wanda and Pietro ARE mutants and are Magneto's children.

maybe, but we do know that there is X MAN

Why not, when there's a Squirrel Girl. There is a mutant we see in one of these movies that is covered in spike, if memory serves, though I don't think we ever learn his name.

@@gestaltdude yes in the third film

I know there's a Porcupine

yeah i realized after we watched the 3rd one i really had no businesss not knowing that lol

​@@TheOctobersReacthe basically the best character in the film

Kevin was also a producer on the original X-men movies! He fought for a lot of the comic accurate aspects of those movies since the very beginning

*SPOILER ALERT!

In the MCU Magneto isn't their father, at least not in the primary timeline. Their MCU father isn't unknown, he was killed by Stark's bomb. Also in the comics, Magneto is no longer biologically related to Wanda and Pietro. Their backstory has been changed (again) so that for decades, Magneto was simply thought to be their father but really wasn't.

Wanda and Pietro are twins. So the sister you are referring to isn't Wanda. It's probably Lorna.

​​@@neospock5034multiverse coming tho... closer to MCU/Fox universe crossover every day

You were 16 when it came out in 2000? And have been a fan since 1986? That would mean you were 2 years old in '86. Did you mean '96? (that is when the Fox X-Men cartoon series had its final season)

I was 13 in 2000 when it came out and I heard production of it was chaotic

yep

When an actor is defined by their merit, it's easy to see why they command the screen.

"one of the last of the great English Shakespearean, classically trained actors" What does that even mean? English theater hasn't stopped at all, much less Shakespearean...

@cormano64 I was referring to that specific generation of stage actors. Apologies for being so inspecific.

It was more about black people way more than gay people who weren't out In the open in the 60's like they started to be in the 70's . Professor x represented Dr Martin Luther King and magneto represented Malcolm x

It was about both movements, after the civil rights movement in 1954 and the gay liberation movement starting in the 1960s and lasting till the 1980s along with stone wall of 1969 the creators of the comics decided to adapt the x men to represent marginalised people over all, but more specifically gay and black people. Over time the X-men have become more representative of gay and LGBT rights though, seeing what the characters did for people of the community and how much the creators could subtly correlate being a mutant to being gay specifically. The mutants having to hide there identity to not scare humans, the humans looking for a cure for being a mutant, the mutants powers being genetic are all metaphors for social issues the creators chose to put in the comics to represent the struggles of the gay community. As he said the first major openly gay character is an x-man and is the first gay marriage in marvel comics. It’s also why the creators of the movies Cary on what they did and are doing in the comics because LGBT issues and rights are what the x-men as a whole mainly represent now, Bobby parents not knowing he’s a mutant is a metaphor for being gay, him having to tell them in x-men 2 and his mothers response saying have you tried not being a mutant is a metaphor for coming out, rogue thinking she needs the cure and humans wanting a cure for mutants is a metaphor for conversion therapy and people thinking you can cure being gay and so on and so on, so the x men represent both but not long after as the comics progressed the x-men mainly became a metaphor for what its like for the gay and LGBT community and the issues they face.

@@LukeCage-ku6ny Plus, Director Bryan Singer and Ian McKellan are both openly gay. Anna Paquin(Rogue) is bisexual and Shadowcat`s then actress later came out as a transman. The character Arclight on the Brotherhood side in "X-Men:The Last Stand" is also trans.

I think he has metal soles on his feet too

@@distantraveller9876 that would make sense.

I second this! True Blood is soooo iconic.

I 3rd that, true blood is to this day a fave show of mine

yeah

2:16 even, Erik got separated from the Nazis as a kid.

Didn't Ray Park die some time ago ????

​@@user-be7tc2bd6eumm no he's still around, but there was a scandal a while back involving leaked footage of him and his wife doing something married couples do on occasion 😂

@@Snake_-zv2ud Out in the public ???

@@user-be7tc2bd6e not that I'm aware of.

@@Snake_-zv2udsex tape? 🤣

I literally made a comment about him saying that in the movie. To be honest, I’m not sure if it made it in the edit, but I definitely did.

we love you too !

You just literally quoted what Groot said in Guardians 3

X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Wolverine are forgettable tbh unless you REALLY like his character and want to know his backstory prior to the Alkalai Lake experiments but Logan is definitely a masterpiece.

agreeeeeeed! we have seen all 3 now and def agree!

Lead isn't magnetic, but it IS metal so it becomes a matter of nuance.

@@terrylandess6072 Yeah, there's a lot of "comic book science" here. Lots of metals aren't affected by magnets, like aluminum, but for some reason, Magneto can still manipulate all of them. And many of the things he does with metal, like reshaping it, would cause a lot of other effects, realistically, like heating up the metal a lot, but that don't seem to happen at all when he does it.

How?

@distantraveller9876 The actor who played Darth Maul, plays Toad. Ray Parker.
