28:34 When Pyro basically says to Magneto, "I can't create the flame only manipulate it" he's oblivious to the fact the very mutant he's speaking to and highly respects, Magneto, is in fact essentially the same as him. Magneto doesn't create metal, he "merely" manipulates it. In replying, "you're a god among insects," he's subtly hinting at how much alike the two of them are.

going to the movies and experiencing the nightcrawler scene for the first time not knowing he was going to attack the president was one of my greatest movie going experiences... i was an adult that grew up on the comic books and animated series, but right there, i was in tears... never thought i would ever get to see something on the big screen that only lived in my imagination...

17 minutes in, and the folders on Stryker's computer: Graymalkin does NOT refer to Jonas Graymalkin, given that the movie came out in 2003 and Jonas wasn't introduced in the comics until 2008. It probably refers to Cable's orbiting space station, which is also called Graymalkin - both the space station and the character were named after the street address of Xavier's School, which is in Graymalkin Lane, Westchester County.

The metal in the guard that Magneto uses to break out isn't molten, it's just small. We naturally have iron in our blood, he just had too much, allowing Magneto to use it. Although I suppose Magneto's powers could easily enough allow him to super-heat metal if needed.

@andyferrat406 4 месяца назад

You said Jason Striker was mutant 143. Do you think that is a morbid reference to the meaning of 143 being “I love you” and since Striker is in charge of his son, he’s trying to say “I love you” to his son even though he’s the villain?

@nicktroisi6347 4 месяца назад

“You are a God among insects. Never let anyone tell you otherwise” That has to be my favourite line and moment in the film. I love the dynamic Magneto had with Pyro and that its the start John’s journey into The Brotherhood. Also another cool and one of my favourite details is that when Magneto first takes John’s zip lighter he uses his powers but then he hands it back he dose so without them symbolising him building and gaining John’s trust and showing him he’s not the enemy, which is just brilliant filmmaking and writing imo

@SmilingBanditUK 4 месяца назад

Salem Centre isn't another reference to the Xavier School. It's the closest population area to the town, and where the young mutants go to hang out. Also the Massachusetts Academy is a reference to the Hellions (it's the Hellfire Club's version of the X-men school), not a reference to the later location of the Xavier School.

@@randomspiel I don't know because A) he built (fashioned) a solid ice wall across the corridor in the school to say Logan. So, even as a teen he was pretty powerful. Also, as I envision your idea Bobby would be positioned as Jean was--out in the open--but with Kurt there the two of them could have teleported to the top of the dam and Bobby could then have laid hands on the wall--thereby increasing his power--and then just used ice to plug the hole giving Jean the chance to lift the jet out of danger. You know, working as a team which is the idea behind the X-Men (teamwork) as opposed to George R.R. Martin's Wild Cards.

@@WilAdams I don't feel like a wall a few metres away and stopping a barrage of tons of water the size of a lake spewing out are that comparable imo! He's also still quite young and inexperienced here, he doesn't even get his ice body form until the end of the next movie years later, let alone close to the Omega level beyond that.
