Caitlin really be out here reacting to my faves. Kpop??? And now x-men?? GIRL YOU DO SO MUCH I LOVE IT. It's a ride caity i hope you enjoy!!!

The X-Men were introduced in X-Men #1 (1963), written by Stan Lee and art by Jack Kirby. The team consisted of Scott Summers as Cyclops, Jean Grey as Marvel Girl, Bobby Drake as Iceman, Hank McCoy as Beast, and Warren Worthington III as Angel. And, of course, Professor Charles Xavier as well. Magneto would also make his appearance in this comic as well. X-Men #4 (1964) introduced Mangeto's Brotherhood of Mutants and Toad (Mortimer Toynbee), who appears in this film. Some other fun stuff happened, like X-Men #9 (1964), where The X-Men met The Avengers, a superhero team formed in Avengers #1 (1963) made up of pre-existing Marvel characters. You've undoubtedly heard about The Avengers thanks to the massive success of their movies, starting with Iron Man (2008) and giving birth to the MCU, Marvel Cinematic Universe, and interconnected series of films and later shows. X-Men #35 (1967) saw the X-Men meeting Spider-Man, introduced in Amazing Fantasy #15 (1961). Of course, Spider-Man, Marvel's most iconic character, and the X-Men were the face of Marvel from the 1970s to the 1990s. This changed during the rise of the MCU, where The Avengers became the Face of Marvel, Iron Man and Captain America. But moving back to the 1970s, The X-Men would take around a 5-year break once Stan Lee dropped them to focus on The Avengers and Fantastic Four comics. Wolverine made his first appearance in The Incredible Hulk #180 (1974), appearing in the final panel as a cameo. His entire appearance would be in The Incredible Hulk #181 (1974), appearing throughout the comic. A year later, we would get Giant-Size X-Men (1975) written by Len Wein. This comic would introduce us to Professor X, creating a new team to rescue the original X-Men members. The new squad comprised Storm (Ororo Munroe), this being her first comic appearance, and Wolverine, who is now a member of The X-Men, among other characters you've yet to meet in the films. Chris Claremont would write the next issue and would go on to become one of the most iconic X-Men writers to date across future stories into the 1980s. Another character's first appearance would be Rogue, who appeared in Avengers Annual #10 (1981), a storyline heavily connected to The Avengers and Mystique. Speaking on Mystique, she appeared a few years before in Ms. Marvel #16 (1978) a story written by Chris Claremont. And I think that's everyone you've met in this film. Also, why are the X-Men films not a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? It's because of movie rights. During the 1990s, Marvel faced bankruptcy and went bankrupt in 1996, so a lot was happening. So, to make money, Marvel decided to sell off character/team rights to different companies, with 20th Century Fox getting the rights to The X-Men and Fantastic Four. In contrast, Sony got the rights to Spider-Man, and other companies got the rights to characters. When it came time for Marvel to start working on their films, they simply couldn't use certain characters and teams because they no longer had the movie rights. They created Iron Man (2008) and planned on future films to build up to an Avenger movie. But they could not make an X-Men, Spider-Man, or Fantastic Four film. They couldn't even mention the term Mutant or feature X-Men/Mutant characters, even if Fox was not using them in a movie. The MCU was a shared, connected universe that captured what made the comics so special, but it was without the X-Men. That's why we have X-Men and MCU films released around the same time but never cross over or make small references. Marvel did try to connect them, like having an X-Men cameo in an MCU film, but these never happened. As of 2019, Disney bought Fox, so the movie rights of The X-Men have returned to Marvel, allowing them to do whatever they want with The X-Men now. Deadpool & Wolvrine (Deadpool 3) will be the first MCU X-Men film released just next month. So yes, X-Men are very much Marvel, but for movies, Fox's X-Men movies are very much disconnected from the MCU :(

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a movue more focused on, of course, Wolverine. X-Men First Class is where you’ll get Charles‚ Magneto‚ and Mystique's backstory.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR REACTION TO CHERIK'S LOVE STORYYYY

yesss i love x-men!!

first xmen i ever saw was ‘first class’ and i loved it so much it made me go back and watch every single xmen movie ahhhh i can’t wait till you get there! love hearing about your favourite mutants in this one!

I personally think it would be best to watch the X-Men movies in release order Also side note I prefer Jane and Scott together, y’all see why later on in the franchise when they decide to show their relationship more

I Just found this channel. I know you from the kpop reactions but i didn't know you react to films and shows. 😊 I love the x-men. Hope you keep watching, First Class and DOFP are the best x movies ❤ Edit: the x men were created to represent society. So the mutants are like minorities or anyone that society see as " different"

The difference between magneto and professor Xavier is the same difference between Martin Luther King and Malcolm x. Malcolm X wanted to pay an eye for an eye and believes in mutant superiority and Charles Xavier wanted to peacefully live and coexist with the humans. Charles Xavier 'had a dream" so to speak.

Ah yes a good era✨ these movies were pretty good 😎

I don't think people can be at fault for liking Jean with Logan. They don't really show her relationship with Scott, like at all. Lol We mostly see Logan flirting with her that I often forget she's even with Scott lol The creators really spent a lot of time on Logan in general, but I don't fault them for that considering he's a lot of people's favorite characters. Cyclops and a bunch of other mutans were done dirty with the lack of focus on them and their abilities in these films. I really enjoyed your reaction! I especially love your Dune reactions. I love that you don't take yourself too seriously, but also respect the content you're reaching to.

THE XMEN FRANCHISE IS SOMETHING SO SERIOUS AND PERSONAL TO MEEEEEE like it's scary the amount of times i've seen every xmen movie nobody gets them like i do 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ i'm so excited to rewatch them for the millionth time with you eeeeeeeep 🤭

jean belongs to scott. logan is gentle with her, but personally I didn't like the way he behaved with her, knowing that she was in a relationship with Scott. for me it's disrespectful. But I love the character too

oot but thank you so much caitlyn. what you did its not just “reacting” but you became my internet friend that love to watch movie/series that i also liked. i feel like i have a friend that actually watch something with me in this lonely world 🥹🤧 hope you keep happy and healthy🫶

Can’t WAIT for you to watch the next one, so much better!!!!

Omg, I rarely comment on yt but I'm just so so happy and excited you're starting X-Men!! I always have a soft spot for this series, I love a lot of the characters here. Looking forward to see more, I hope you enjoy! 🤟

Honestly no shame in not having seen some of these more popular movies! I didn’t watch Star Wars til I was in college and I just started watching Lord of the Rings. X-Men is a lot of fun as a franchise though so I hope you enjoy it!

Scott has a story too. I don't know if they show that in this categories of X-Men, but the movie at 2020 I think, you can watched what happened before he meet Charles

I can't wait to see your reaction to X-MEN 2 and all the rest of the movies;also looking forward to you watching the Star Wars movies too. The MCU could be another franchise you might try watching but it will take up A LOT of time but it's worth it.

Great video thank you for working hard to bring us great content ❤❤❤

I cant wait for you to react to XMEN movies then the masterpiece XMEN 97!

Yay, can't wait to watch the rest with you~

The X-men serie is one of my favourite movies of all time. Hope you enjoy discovering the other movies of the serie And don't worry you'll definitely get to know Eric and Charles story

I love the x-men series and I love your reactions so I'm sat! 🍿😎

OMG LET'S GOOOO

always great to see you react to movies, I personally love. Enjoy the rest of the series. it has its up and downs, but one of the best comic-book movies series, definitely.

CAITLIN.....!!! You are in for an amazing journey..... If this series had over 100k views im one of them... If it has like 10k views im one of them If it has 1k views im one of them If it has 100 views then half of them are mine... If it has 1 view then its mine....

Please react to the haunting of hill house series

I love this movies!!!!

Hi girrrllll ❤ love your reactions thank you so much for them ❤️ 💖 💕

If I remember correctly Storm, Jean and Cyclops are in the highest rank of mutant power so... A pretty powerful team Charles has👀

Can't wait for the whole series! Especially Wolverine Genesis (my fav). You might want to check the timeline for those movies if you want, it's kind of like with Avengers where theoretically you 'should' watch it in specific order to go chronologically with the story not the order of movies coming out but i think as you watch all of it in short time you remember most of it so you can piece it all together without the "timeline"

Yay xmen they're so fun! You mentioned Lord of the rings omg!!! that needs to be ur next watch, if you can ofcourse(the movies are long af tho but so worth it lol).also can't wait to see ur final set up girl🎉 looks like you've been so busy hope ur taking care of urself ❤

Omg I'll die for your Lord of the Rings reaction!!!! Cant wait for that!!! I love watching anything you react to but im definitely excited for that!!!

YUHHHHHHH🤪

So happy youre watching X-Men! I can’t wait for you to go through the entire series, and then watch X-Men 97 😁😁😁

jean belongs to scott. logan is gentle with her, but personally I didn't like the way he behaved with her, knowing that she was in a relationship with Scott. for me it's disrespectful. But I love the character too
