I know! I just picture a character study about a man killing his way through generations. Living long enough to serve with the grandchildren of the men he’s killed. It could be so good. but we got trash CGI claws killing a sink
Fun Fact: Because of how poorly received the previous film was, X-men Origins Magneto was rewritten to X-men First Class. That's why the film's Magneto arc is so fleshed out is because it was originally it's own film.
I'm praying for a good cyclops after the last two being completely meh and underwhelming. I mean he's the leader after all. If they establish a compelling cyclops the jean grey wolverine love triangle will actually work and I honestly don't fear marvel screwing up wolverine after having like 7 movies which serve as a blueprint on how it's done.
Lego Post Malone My advise to Marvel Studios when adapting their take on X-Men (and Fantastic Four): copy from Doom Patrol. That show is a better live action take on both properties, plus this wouldn’t be the first time X-Men ripped off from that team. So if the movie was to succeed, Marvel Studios (in the first time ever) should copy from DC.
Drew Nolde So like a more faithful take on First Class? Cause if so here are some basic guidelines I would do: 1) Have Cyclops be the main protagonist of this series of films. It will definitely set them apart from the Fox Men series. 2) The team dynamic/interaction should be something similar to Breakfast Club or (better yet) the Power Ranger movie . 3) The main X-Men team are formed due to five students from the Institute using their powers outside the estate by preventing a mass shooting. 4) Professor X in the movie is initially reluctant of his students using their powers in public, but as the film progress becomes more open to them using their gifts as a team realizing that is wrong to keep such special talent a secret. 5) Have two Big Bads for the film: Magneto for the mutant side and Boliver Trask for the human side. 6) In response to a Stark-less world, Bolivar Trask took up said role by modifying the whole “Party Mode” protocol of his armors to be used for the basis of the Sentinel project for the purpose of protecting the public from dangerous metahumans. 7) Magneto and The Brotherhood of Mutants will initially start out as being good guys that is beloved by the public in the MCU, but due to the combination of bad publicity from political figures, witnessing personally the racism from humanity and a third influence that I will talk about later, the group will turn heel and start to go against the people they once save (like the song Iron Man). 8) Mastermind is the Bigger Bad of the film who uses his illusion powers and manipulation to instigate further the hysteria among the Brotherhood and Sentinel Project. Basically he wants to instigate a war between the humans and mutants as part of his duties in the Inner Circle.
The MCU did not waste Quicksilver, they just couldn’t use him has much as Fox due to the movie rights. So technically, Fox screwed over Quicksilver in the MCU and their X Men universe.
@@tayojones9460 Yeah, but so? Logan was never meant to be an X-Men film, the X-Men themselves are only alluded to, never properly named in the film, not even flashbacks are included. The original film was to begin with Xavier killing the X-Men by accident due to his seizures, and they pulled it out of the film because Mangold wanted to focus the story on Logan, Xavier and Laura. It's almost a given that when they enter the MCU, the X-Men will be focusing more on the team dynamic, but for what we got from the original run, Logan was a masterpiece. Given Feige's patience for holding back fan favorites until it's the right time, I imagine Wolverine won't even show up in the first film they get the X-Men in. They'll first make us fall in love with the more underappreciated ones (Cyclops and Storm especially who were never properly realized) and then he'll bring on Logan in a sequel or something.
@@golden1324 Yeah, seriously, and to think it's the exact same team behind The Wolverine... We could have gotten two phenomenal Wolverine movies instead of just one, but at least they went all out with the one they could do properly. All studios save for Marvel should fuck off from the creative process and just do what they were meant to do, all the distribution and financial shit. Yes, have someone monitor the money that goes in and out, but if you have such a great cast and crew, just unleash them and watch money flow in. Every time I see a great team behind an average or bad movie I always think "the studios couldn't keep it in their pants". 9 times out of 10, the word "studio meddling" escorts the bad reviews for the film or the reason behind it bombing commercially.
Days of future past sucks... It's just nonsense, like most time travel movies... Don't get seduced/fooled by the visuals. The only good x-men is first class. Period. I'll go even further and say it's the only good super hero movie alongside the Nolan batman trilogy...
@@m3gAnac0nda then you have no sense for humor. Thor ragnarok is a great comedy, and the guardians of the galaxys are at least good. Infinity war delivers almost everything one could want except it has a faceless army battle at the end.
Technically, Ryan Reynolds first appearance as Deadpool is in Deadpool. In Wolverine Origins, he is credited as Wade Wilson, and he is never referred to as Deadpool in the movie.
12. Dark Phoenix 11. X-Men: Apocalypse 10: X-Men: The Last Stand 9. Wolverine: X-Men Origins 8. The Wolverine 7. Deadpool 2 6. X-Men 5. X2 4. Deadpool 3. X-Men: First Class 2. X-Men: Days of Future Past 1. Logan
I definitely agree with this list, Days of Future Past and Logan are easily the best of the X-Men movies imo. And dark Phoenix, though entertaining at times, was incredibly disappointing and royally screwed up the timeline even more
I would move Deadpool 2 and The wolverine up, put Wolverine between Xmen and X2 and Deadpool 2 above deadpool, but other than that this is a great list
@@HippityhoppityGnW For me, I would have Deadpool 2 at my number #8 spot well I do kinda love it, have The Wolverine at my number #6 spot which I really loved before Logan came out, X-men 1 at my #7 spot which I kinda love, and X2 at number #2 spot which I really loved and Logan at #1 because it’s the best X-men film along with first class, days of future past, and X2.
@@SourRobo8364 Same honestly. Felt more like one continuous storyline, wasn't nearly as disjointed, didn't have the burden of having to go through an origin story, and it actually did the Juggernaut justice after the travesty that was The Last Stand.
I was shocked but happy he rated both of them so low. Deadpool 1 was decent but deadpool 2 was really rough for me, I didn't expect to get tired of the character so fast but I genuinely did
@@RaidsEpicly I think ultimately Deadpool 2 has higher highs and lower lows than Deadpool. There are certainly really good parts but the movie's quality bounces around and the movie is even aware of that at times, which pulled my overall view of the movie down compared to the first.
Sam Wilson you should check out Prisoners. Jackman literally plays Joel in that film. It’s the closest we’ll ever get to him playing that part, and it’s a damn shame because he really would be the perfect pick for the role.
Me, too, but I hate it how he suddenly wants to kill the whole planet and then, suddenly remembers Charles‘ love for him (Which is a very awesome moment!) and then immediately takes back. It’s just.... what I always liked about Magneto was that he was always sure which way to go. He never trembled before. But here, they make him look so inconsistent that it feels very forced.
watching it I really felt like it was super excessive and just an excuse to have erik become magneto again. like if it was a movie about erik, like first class, I'd understand it as a tragedy but instead i just felt like.... too much... man's a holocaust survivor no more tragedy please
Spiderman 2 leaves both of those in the dust and as far as "gritty realism" goes, Blade 98 did it better and way before Nolan was associated with batman reboots.
People forget that silent deadpool is a callback, Stryker says “you’d be a perfect soldier without that mouth on you” so he literally takes the mouth off him
Take a shot everytime captainmidnight unnecessarily uses the words "himself", "herself" , or "itself" when thinking he has redundantly referenced someone or something in his videos. Having said that, I love these videos.
1. Logan 2. Days of Future Past 3. First Class 4. Deadpool 5. X-Men 6. Deadpool 2 7. X2 8. The Wolverine 9. The Last Stand 10. Origins 11. Apocalypse 12. Dark Phoenix
The Wolverine Origins could have been a trilogy in itself: 1) A movie with focus on Logan discovering his powers and dealing with them; and the war thing with Sabretooth. 2) The romantic one, with Sabretooth killing his wife and Logan seeking revenge upon him. 3) The whole thing with the team, deadpool and the Weapon X stuff
the best thing this film franchise brought us was those few quicksilver scenes. absolutely iconic & the best version of the character to date. fully captures his personality and energy
It sucks how the events of Apocalypse were not referenced in Dark Phoenix, like at all. All the great landmarks gone and no one was talking about the consequences.
I know, that was so weird. Say what you will about First Class/DoFP/Apocalypse, ALL THREE of them prominently built off of each other and referenced each other.
Honestly, I liked DP2 more than the first. The first one was really just (story-wise) a standard middle of the road superhero origin, with more restrained humor and not enough to make it highly rewatchable. The second one was more wild and had an actual plot, and I would totally rewatch it over and over again.
Did not see Dark Phoenix 11 Origins Wolverine 10 The Last Stand 9 Apocalypse 8 The Wolverine 7 Deadpool 2 6 X-Men 5 Deadpool 4 Days of Future Past 3 First Class 2 X2 1 Logan
@@Badmunky64 Not gonna lie, but X-men origins is way worser then The Wolverine, the Wolverine trilogy actually started to improve and get way better, the Wolverine was good and improved but not the best. Overall, it is your opinion so I won’t try to bash it and respect it :).
Logan has been one of my favorite movies to date. The humor works, but even without those rare instances Logan is such a well represented and nuanced character, struggling to find a good reason to live for. Such a good movie.
I would probably list mine as 12) X-Men Origins 11) Apocolypse 10) Last Stand 9) Dark Phoenix 8) The Wolverine 7) X-Men 6) Deadpool 2 5) Deadpool 4) Days of Future Past 3) First Class 2) X2 1) Logan
I rewatched the Wolverine before watching Logan, and honestly i was surprised by how good it was. Certainly much better than i rememebered it, not that i had thought it was bad. Infact it was damn good, aside from the goofy last act, which may have been what lingered in most peoples minds. My top 4 is Logan, X2 , DOFP and First Class as well.
It was so bad that I started making rifftrack like comments while watching it with friends in theaters. My favorite was saying the soldiers' guns were filled with Advil when they were capturing the mutants after the house exploded.
Honestly I know I’m in the minority but Logan was really amazing movie and I hope it’s the end of wolverines use in future movies ( for a while). The movie is a metaphor for the industry and it feels like they ( marvel) won’t top it for a while.
captainmidnight, your points are 100% spot-on for X2. To this day, it is my favorite X-Men film after Logan and the only one I feel that actually gave development to most everyone on the team. From Iceman overcoming his own insecurities, to Rogue becoming more confident with her powers, to Jean coming to terms with her powers and her fears that they might harm more than help, and so on. Plus, it's much more thematically rich than most films in the franchise. As the cherry on top, it has so many small moments that elevate it above most of the others; Storm and Nightcrawler having a conversation about faith and pity, Magneto being the first to encourage Pyro to use his powers instead of controlling them, even something as simple as Rogue giving Wolvie his dogtags back. Brilliant.
This is kind of an unpopular opinion, but I was genuinely excited about the direction Fox was taking their X-Men Cinematic Universe in, branching out and having more creative concepts, rather than building towards some larger story. Had the XCU continued we would have gotten Laura/X-23 (Western), X-Force (Black Ops), Gambit (Heist), Shadowcat/Kitty Pryde (Home Invasion), and Multiple Man (James Franco-led R-rated comedy). Hopefully at the very least when New Mutants finally drops it will be a genuinely scary horror flick.
I first watched X Men Origins as a copy that hadn't actually finished editing as you could still see wires attached to the actors and some scenes were all in mocap, thought that was funny to share
Your comparison of the first x man and the first spiderman movie was spot on. Both seemed to keep the characters grounded and the environment more closed and personal. Thank you

@3:36 x-Men animated series used a mutant cure storyline in its first season you might come to remember it as how apocalypse was able to manipulate desperate Mutants into becoming his next incarnation of the four horseman.
I absolutely love the nostalgically done clips you put throughout your videos, they really add a wonderfully unique and distinct element to them, and are simply a joy to view themselves.

X-Men Apocalypse was the first superhero movie I ever watched, and It hooked me into the Marvel Movie Genre, I'm going to have to say I really like X-Men Apocalypse
"I'm probably placing Days of Future Past a little higher than most people" Lol who are these people? Days of Future Past is amazing, widely agreed to be one of the best X-men movies.

I mean, the original Old Man Logan mini series was pretty terrible, being edgy just to be edgy (Mark Millar gotta Mark Millar - I mean, Red Skull wearing Cap's face? Everyone is dead, a murderer or a prostitute?). The monthly run was a lot better, but Logan blew both of them away.
I'm one of those weird people who wasn't a huge fan of the first Deadpool but finds the second one hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt. I'm the same with GotG 2, another film I found to be more emotionally satisfying than the first.
For me, I'd make a tier list rather than a proper ranking list, since some are quite close: Great tier: X-Men: First Class, Logan Good tier: X-Men 2, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Deadpool OK tier: X-Men, The Wolverine, Deadpool 2 Questionable tier: X-Men: Apocalypse Bad tier: X-Men 3, Wolverine: Origins Have-not-yet-seen tier: X-Men: Dark Phoenix

@@stankrause9589 I'm 18 lol, I just think that the old cast films aren't that good and pretty cringe when compared to the first class cast, I prefer most of the new actors too, although Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart were bright spots
While I'm not big on how low Deadpool 2 was on the list, I''m glad to see some respect for The Wolverine. That or First Class are the most underrated of the franchise, imo.
Like yeah, even tho I like Deadpool 2, I still do not understand why people think Wolverine is worser then Deadpool 2, people who have Wolverine ranked low on their list don’t know what a good Wolverine movie is or should be. Deadpool 2 has too many plot lines going on which make the movie and the Wolverine movie doesn’t, and still don’t freaking understand why people think Deadpool 2 is better 🤦♂️.
My list: 1. Logan 2. X2 3. X Men: Days Of Future Past 4. The Wolverine 5. X Men: First Class 6. X Men 7. X Men: The Last Stand 8. X Men Origins: Wolverine 9. X Men: Apocalypse 10. X Men: Dark Phoenix
Man I really think Deadpool 2 is more enjoyable than the first. I've seen the first probably 10times, and it's only ever when someone else wants to watch it. The second though I rewatch on my own because it's just much more fun that the original

I think deadpool 2 is better than tr original, it has a more interesting conflict for deadpool u solve and i see the jokes about the same as the first one
I feel Dead Pool, as popular as it is, is actually a little underrated by most people who don't like it. I keep talking to people who basically make it sound more like they just don't like Dead Pool in general or the character's humor, but the thing is, that's more of an opinion on the source than it is the film, because the things people hate the most about the film are the things most accurate to the way the character is supposed to feel. He's a walking shitpost, full of references, slapstick grim-derp, and a severe abuse of third-wall-jokes and "twitter culture" memes. If all that sounds cringe to you, that's all fine, but even still, the film should be recognized as the most perfect adaption of the character we have ever seen, and likely ever will see.

I'm glad you acknowledged some of X2's biggest flaws. I've always found it overrated and liked the original better. It was basically a Wolverine origin movie that rendered the later actual Wolverine origins movie redundant, at the expense of Cyclops (taken out of action at the beginning of the movie? The hell?) and Storm (who got so little character development that they had to rewrite X3 to make her the leader of the X-Men or else Halle Berry wasn't going to come back). The idea of the X-Men and the Brotherhood teaming up against a greater threat was a great way to go after the first one, but Striker wasn't a credible enough villain to warrant it.
