Hi, Johannah, sorry, I don't know where I am. I
haven't been here, and well, Johannah looks months this is the first time
you've been in studio for an episode all year. I mean, you famously
were in that much beloved February wrap up where absolutely nothing went wrong and you
were totally sober, and I'm definitely what's sober? Rewatch rewatch that video?
I mean it was a little not but yeah, but it was obvious by
the way. I had to have a talk with a bunch of people,
Like even the last one. I'm like, hey, it's a little obvious.
Can you guys just but yes? Uh. Before that, it was
Nightmare before Christmas. Definitely not home, We're bound. That was the Cat's
episode, not your you had a cat episode. Space Cat was in an
episode. Oh did you not watch it? I wonder what she sounds like.
Don't worry, It's okay if you missed it. Many people didn't watch
it. I thought that was a great idea. Who are you guys?
That was a desperate That was something he did as a joke and I'm like,
I'll never release this and I went, oh god. Anyway, but
in the meantime, we know we brought back our Godzilla podcast, Cassilla versus
the Pod Monster, and yeah, I'm wearing the shirt and honor of it,
and you've been on that channel. And actually the last time you were
in studio is when we shot those uh segments for Gills video where he plugged
our channel, which was deleted several days after the video came in. I
think it's skills. We can't talk about that all day long. We got
to talk about X Men. We're going all in on X Men this year
because Wolverine is back. Baby, how shocking. Wow. They offered him
money and he said yes, whoa uh yeah, and we're doing X Men
first class. Now you're probably wondering, Tony, you did the previous three,
why aren't you doing X Men origins Wolverine. I mean, we'll mention
it a little bit, especially how this movie you're about to review ignores it
a lot. I will be doing what is the best Wolverine at some point.
And I have a special guest in mine who's very very big into the
comics scene. No it's not Hugh Jackman. He's a huge man, but
he's not Hugh Jackman. Did a doctor Cox from Scrubs since he always made
the Hugh Jackman. No, no, no, no. I have a
very very special friend who's well versed in comics. You might know his girlfriend.
She's also very big into comics. They support indie comic creators. Sometimes
they show up at those creators warehouses uninvited. No, that's their house.
They're docsing, Okay, we're gonna move past that. So there is a
best Wolverine episode in development. We will circle back. We're just gonna do
all three. And I'm actually glad we're skipping this one right now because I
hate this movie anyway. X Men first Class, all right, this started
off as X Men Origins Magneto and uh, because remember that was like after
last stand, It's like, what are they gonna do next? And they
announced they're gonna make these prequels, and obviously Wolverine was first because he was
the most popular. Yeah, but people love Magneto and they're like, hey,
we really like the sympathetic character. Ian McKellen's getting old. But if
they brought him back anyway later on, Uh, they were like, yeah,
so what can we do? They Oh, why don't we do Magneto's
origin? And then apparently around the time of X Men two, the one
producer was bounced around the idea of doing like a young X Men prequel.
Also Magneto fell through. People say it was because the writer strike, the
two thousand and seven, two thousand and eightish writer strike might have gotten in
a way, But you know, they were supposed to shoot in two thousand
and nine, and I'm guessing they saw how X Men Origins Wolverine went and
they went, you know what, let's not do this. Let's let's let's
let's figure let's do something else. So someone pitched the idea of doing the
X Men First Class because a comic book had just come out. Don't worry,
this has nothing to do with the comic book other than Professor X and
it's his first team. It's not even the team from the comic. I
mean, I think we all know the original X Men team. I have
them here was what was it Cyclops Marvel Girl, which was Jean Gray beast
Iceman. I thought there was someone else's Angel Angel but yeah, oh god,
I knocked over the DVD. So, yeah, they decided to do
this X Men First Class. They worked the hell Fire Club into it,
which were supposed to be a big part of the Dark Phoenix story. They
didn't make it into that movie. Yeah, Now we all were mad at
Brian Singer. Okay, in two thousand and eleven, twenty ten, we
were mad at Brian Singer for not doing X Men three. People are mad
at him for different reasons these days, nothing serious. So he was supposed
to come back and actually direct this, he had to walk away. He
developed the story and everything and he was hands on as a producer, but
he had to leave to do the memorable film Jack the Giant Killer. It's
my favorite movie. Oh, what's your favorite part of the movie. Jack
was a giant killer. That was a good part. Who can forget the
memorable performance the character Jack had played by that guy? Yeah, best actor.
And remember that villain, the other guy. Oh, he was terrifying.
Ryan Singer made the right choice. Hey, he directed a Best Picture
nominee. Uh huh, he didn't get Best Director. I don't even think
he was in the oscars. But anyway, uh so they got Matthew Vaughan.
Now this is kind of interesting because he was set to direct X Men
three and he like walked off that project. And then he was also supposed
to direct Thor and then that didn't happen. So they're like, well,
you're back for X Men and they're like they kind of pitched him. They're
like, you can just do whatever you want, like continuity, continuity,
pick and choose whatever you liked from the movies to keep and do your own
thing. So that was appealing to him. So, yeah, this whole
film is not super concerned with the continuity of the films, which is very
clear. But then like, but then the next film, a Brian Singer
comes back, tries to make them continent, and again it's very confusing.
But yeah, we saw this together. Yep. What were your feelings about
this going into it? At the time. I wasn't expecting anything great because
we haven't gotten anything great in a while. Yeah, so I was just
kind of like, uh, as long as it's fun, I guess.
But then I was pleasantly surprised. Yeah, what uh? What were your
thoughts on X Men three? The music was good, I I I.
Yeah, the music's good. Dark Phoenix music was very good. What do
you think about X Men origins Wolverine? What movie? Yeah? Yeah,
I don't know if we were talking at that time. We weren't talking at
the time Wolverine came out. I don't think so, but I was very
angry in that movie. I'm like what the fuck was that. I was
like, I can't. I take back every bad thing I ever said about
X Men three. That was gold. I was looking on my Facebook.
I don't remember if it was today or yesterday, but it was the anniverse
when we were all the drink together. I mentioned that story recently. Yeah,
I mentioned that story. Was like, yeah, that was a fun
day. Oh man, I should have swiped right when I saw her again,
really put you in your pa anyway, I had an actually try to
beat up John. I didn't know what to expect going in. I was
like, all right, maybe it'll be good. I was really let down
with the last two. I'll give it a shot. So, yeah,
let's go through this film, this fresh reboot of this series. It's gonna
start over. He's gonna put his own stamp on it. It starts exactly
exactly like that. They just got new actors to play those characters. I
think they even read used some footage there. I think they did. Yeah,
whenever you couldn't see the other actor's face, they reuse that footage.
Yeah, we get to see the Magneto scene again of him like bending they
I don't mind it. It's cool. It's cool. Yeah, how are
they gonna reboot Magneto going forward? They have to come up with like a
new thing for him because people I saw some people being like, you should
be a Holocaust survivor. I'm like, that's gonna be a really elderly Magneto.
He's gonna be really easy to take care of. I don't know,
leave your opinions on how they should reboot Magneto. And then we also meet
a young Charles Xavier and he's in the kitchen. His mom's in the kitchen
wearing the same dress he's wearing in a photo which is in the kitchen for
some reason, and this turns out to be little kid Mystique Raven, and
he's like, you're not my mom a and then he sees it's a blue
girl. He's like, yay, I'm not alone. I'm a mute.
And then he's like we're both the exact same and she's like, well,
not really, not really. I mean, you could control people's eye,
look like a blue alien lady who has to discuss it. You can hide
yourself a little easier, yeah, I mean she could hide herself, but
like she shouldn't have to exactly that's what she said in X two X Men
United. But yeah, he's like, hey, don't worry about it.
You can have you don't have to go hungry ever again. You can live
here. You don't have to still live here and eat all the food blah.
And I was just like what, yeah, how did that work out?
Like, yeah, hey mom, hey dad, I know you don't
really like raise me in general, but like, here's our new daughter.
Did he like mess with her heads? I'm yes saying he did, because
how else It's just like, oh, here's maybe she hid the blue stuff
from them. Oh yeah, that'd be easy to like do, but like,
did he put it in their mind that that's the daughter? And yeah,
I'm pretty sure he like persuaded them to adopt her. And I don't
remember. It wasn't even like his dad. He mentioned there was a stepdad
in that mansion. It's still a dad. Yeah yeah, but I remember,
like you were all kind of confused, We're like wait, what whatever
it's like. But when going into this film, before I realized it was
gonna break on to me, I'm just like, wait, that was his
sister and I'm like wow, different type of sister steps Like wow, But
mystique can change her shape and stuff to get out of situations, but she
always getting stuck in the dryer. I don't understand. I thought that was
weird. She was like in her underword, like help me step brother.
She could just stand up anyway. But yeah, I remember, because I'm
thinking back to the first movie. I'm like, oh, so mystique like
sabotage Cerebro to scramble his brain. Yeah, she looked pretty thrilled about it.
She wasn't just like, uh, it's a shame I have to do
this to my adopted brother. Instead, she's like old fucker, Like she
clearly didn't know him in the first one, not whatever. But yeah,
now they're bff's. And then uh, then we see what you're called.
Uh, Eric get brought into what's his fake name? It's Sebastian Shaw.
Kevin Kevin Bacon is playing Sebastian name Schmidt. I think there was Schmidt.
Uh yeah, he's brought in and he's trying to force Eric to use his
abilities and he can't do it. It's part was pretty fucked. Schmid's a
bad guy. Shaw's a bad guy. So he's like, oh man,
it's not working. How can I motivate this kid to use his power.
So they bring his mother in and he's like, all right, well,
i'm gonna count down. I'm gonna count the three. Yeah, and you're
gonna move that coin or I'm gonna shoot your mother. He doesn't do it.
He shoots the mother, and it turns out anger and rage is what
fuels Magneto's power, and he just yeah, like he just like kind of
localized it just to that area first and then yeah, then suddenly just turns
to the guards, who I mean they're also involved in the murder of the
mother too, yes, but like they're kind of just standing there. Well,
they drink. Yeah, he kills everyone, but Sebastian, who is
the one who actually killed the mother, they kind of okay, So they
kind of wrote themselves into a corridor here because it's like, Okay, technically,
if Magneto would have tried to kill him, it wouldn't have worked because
his power, of Sebastian's power would have stopped him. But they didn't want
to reveal that he was a mutant. So that scene is kind of awkward
because it's like, uh, because like like we like the scriptwriter and we
know that he's powerful, but like that kid doesn't know he should try to
kill him, and then he just doesn't. Also, the digital effects in
this were weak. Some of it was very wonky. Yeah, like almost
cartoony some of them, and like, I don't know, like I had
that complaint with Part three and some scenes, but for a lot of this
movie the digital effects are just they stand out a lot. They're not very
good. They get a little bit better toward the end the Cuba fight,
but yeah, everything leading up to that, Like even though the stuff swirling
around, I'm like this, Yeah, that looked weird, I'm like this
should looked better at this point. What's going on here? I mean,
I shouldn't complain about bad CGI and an X Men movie. As I hold
a copy of X Men origins, Wolverene remember his clothes looked like Roger want
to talk about so then, uh, I kind of like this. We
flash forward. Professor X is hidden on a lady. Who is that girl?
She's super familiar? Is that the girl from Malignant and Annabel? Yes
it is, Yes, she was the tutors. Okay, yes she looks
like that girl. I'll double my pretty sure, I will look right now
Yep, that was her. That was correct. Confirmed it was her.
But yeah, she has like the two different eyes and these songs like a
mutation. It's a very groovy mutation. But what I like about this is
he's doing the quote from the first X Men movie, like mutation blah blah
blah blah, but he's doing it like drunk to pick up on a girl.
Like that's kind of fine. It has enabled us to evolve from a
single celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. Mutation took us from
single saled organisms to being the dominant form of reproductive life on this planet.
This is fun and this this movie helped get over my hatred James McAvoy.
Why do you hate James McAvoy? Now you fucking remember why I hate James?
Oh yeah, mister Tumnus. Look, mister Tumnas could get it just
because you couldn't get it. In high school, I apparently resembled that's college,
I'll find the picture. In college, I embraced the mister tumness thing.
But no, in high school, everyone kept saying like, hey,
do you see Chronicles of Narnia? And I went no, Lane, except
I didn't say lame because it was two thousand and five. Uh, but
I was like no, Uh. They're like, you look like the goat
man, and I'm just like, fuck you, thanks. What the fuck
kind of compliment is that? Apparently I really looked like I only looked like
James McAvoy when he was a goat man. I've looked like him no other
time. The facial hair, Yeah, my stupid teen not really growing intel
facial hair look like a fucking goat man. Oh, James McAvoy was hot
in that movie. I don't care. So this movie helped get over my
hatred of him. It maybe develop a hatred for a different actor who I
then had to get over my hatred of. But we'll get to his scene
soon. So, yeah, he's hitting on girls, he likes his mutation,
he's studying mutations. But Raven feels a little left out. She's like,
I wanna be like this, but I'm always hiding and I want to
be out proud. And they have kind of like a resistance there where he's
like, well, you gotta hide because people will kill you, and she's
like yeah, but she wouldn't be trying to change the world or anything.
And then she's like, do you find me pretty? And it's like,
oh, she's gonna get stuck in the dryer again, Oh my god.
Uh yeah, they have like a weird brother sister relationship. It doesn't even
like feel brother and sisterly. Yeah, it's just well he's acting like a
brother, but she's like constantly asked him like questions, but like it's like,
are you into him or you just want him to reassure you that other
boys will like you. I think it's just like she doesn't really get attention,
and she's probably very sheltered in that way because like he doesn't let her
go and do stuff. Yeah yeah, yeah, so probably that although she's
got a point because she starts showing off a little bit. It's like,
come on, lady, but she can't control it, you know. By
the way, this version of his steak, now that I've like rewatched a
lot of the cartoon, actually, by the time this comes out, I've
probably seen all of it. It's weird to think that she grew up in
like besides being a kid, she grew up in like this really nice family
and stuff. Meanwhile, the mystique from the cartoon is like I hate everyone
and I sleep with rich guys, and if I birth a blue monkey baby,
I tossed that asshole in the water. I don't want that shit.
Like she's really ruthless, and that's how she felt in the first few movies.
Then in this she's like, I'm just sad because I want to talk
to boys and I want to be myself. Yeah, I'm like, I
don't really see Jennifer Lawrence. By the way, this was like early Jennifer
Lawrence. This might be I think this is right after Hunger Games, No,
no, before it is. This is after Winter's Bone. Does she
win the Hospital Bone she got something for Yeah, but that was like her
breakout thing. And then they put her in this and she does have the
actual Rebecca Remain makeup effects. They tone it down in the next two or
next three. Actually she does look weird Rebecca Remains. Do you remember people
were saying she was fat? Oh yeah, I think that was around Day's
Future past or something. I think it was in this one too, but
they were saying she's fat. I'm like, where the frick is she fat?
Well? I think she. I think there were scenes where she was
actually wearing a body suit instead of painting and then they like, you know,
they digitally smoothed it out. So I think people were taking behind the
scenes photos of her in the body suits. Regardless she far from it.
Like, if you think that's fat, you get yourself checked out because you're
insane, Johanna. I don't sympathize with fat people anymore. Now that I'm
sexy buff Tony, I'm working really hard to flex these biceps, and I
realized by airy that really hurts. The point that you have to flex so
hard is disgusting. O my god. Someone left a comment They're like,
I'm not ready for the hot Tony arc. Oh, people are telling me
they're ready for buff mommy Johannah, So yeah, pass uh yeah. This
is where I started taking note of her. I eventually saw Winter's Bone afterwards,
like, Wow, that girl could act. And she's been in some
good movies and some bad movies and some of those girl, Oh my god,
what was that really awful movie with Chris Pratt? Oh, Passengers awful?
I heard that comedy she was in last year was pretty good. Oh.
When she goes full Naky, well I didn't know about that. It
was called, but it's where she's like pretending to be a kid's girlfriend room
restaurant. Yeah. Okay, so we see adult played by Michael Fassbender,
who at this point was in a bunch of things. He was in three
hundred, He was also I believe he was in jonah X. The DC
Comics had a jonah X. This is another one where I feel like this
kind of like made him even bigger like he was. He was a name
at that point, but this is like the probably the biggest movies, and
he did like an awesome job. Yeah, he did a really good job
with this. I have especially I like James McAvoy this, and I think
he becomes like a good professor X. He never really feels like the Patrick
Stewart professor X. This I kind of buy him as like the young I
McKellen. So, yeah, he's at a bank what was it in France
or was it a Swiss bank? And he's saying like wei, So I
assume the guy's fringe he's in I don't remember. He's in some kind of
bank that accepts Nazi gold and he has like the big Nazi gold bar there.
So they assumed that he's like shady like that movie. Yeah, we'll
accept your goal sure, and then he like, this scene's pretty awesome.
This probably would have been the Magneto movie, like him hunting down the Nazis.
That actually would be pretty sick. That would be a whole movie that
would have been fun. Uh, It's it's a shame they just kind of
like weaved it into this one. Yeah, because those are definitely some of
my favorite scenes, like the one later Oh my god, it with the
music. Yeah, those are the scenes that stick out, are him like
hunting down to people and his like revenge mission. It should have been I
feel like it should have been two movies, like yeah, X Men start
the Professor X starting the team, Magneto on his revenge mission. I know
you have to tell the story of them being friends and separated. I don't
know how you weave that in whatever this movie tries to do all three of
those. Yeah, but yeah, he like rips the filling out of the
guys. Now. I like, he's like, you're gonna tell me where
that guy is, and he goes Argentina. He's in Argentina. He's like,
all right, by the way, I'll know if you tell them I'm
coming and I will come back here and I will kill you, and he's
like, okay, spy, you're right. The music's pretty good in this
Frank and Sein's monster. Yeah, he's like, I'm Frankenstein's because he wants
revenge on the show. He's like, I killed my mom and I guess
my dad too. I need to kill all of them. I hate all
of the well, yeah, complicit with you know, killing the dad too
whatever, probably somehow in there, because like, yeah, but he full
on actually murdered the mother in front of him, so okay. Then we
get introduced to Moyer and McTaggart, who's not Scottish and not a doctor.
Ye. Roseburn's hot. She's so hot, especially in this scene. Yeah.
Look, I wasn't around in the sixties. Okay, so she was
just wearing that. No, No, I thought you were born in like
forty two or something. Well, then me being in high school with you
would have been very awkward. Why would I have been there? You're trying
to do some like never been kiss thing. I don't know. Okay,
now I'm gonna get away with that like Drew Barryboard did. Oh yeah,
roseberd Okay, So again, I wasn't around the sixties. So she sees
they're at the hell Fire Club. It's a gentleman's club. You got the
these like hot babes and lingerie babes. God, that's what you soundedlike.
We're gonna Sidney Sweeney's gonna get us back to that America. She's gonna save
that America. We're gonna be back. Yeah. Save save us with your
boobs, Save us with your her boobs have been around for forever, and
suddenly now everybody's making a big issue about it. Yeah, barbarrella. Could
you believe Hollywood's allowing a movie with a hot blonde, a hot, big
boob blonde. And then I heard that there was a Supergirl movie coming out.
I'm like, okay, let's say it's another hot blonde. I'm like,
how did how did Hollywood allow this? What happened is did someone die?
What happened? Anyway, So she just had this on underneath. Is
this what all ladies were wearing in the sixties or did she know to wear
that in case she needed to worry? I would assume she probably knew because
she seemed very knowledgeable about the situation that was going on. So yeah,
I would assume. So, yeah, she's in the CIA she's tracking down
a colonel who she thinks is involved at the hell Fire Club doing shady stuff.
So she just takes off her jacket and everything. She's like, I'm
gonna use some assets the CIA didn't give me. I'm like, okay,
So she gets in there, and speaking of hot girls in Lingerie, we
can to see January Jones as Emma Frost, who is somehow older in the
sixties than she is in the seventies from the film Prior. Again, as
soon as I saw Emma Frost, I'm like, oh, so we're just
ignoring all of X men origins, okay, because that's a pretty big one.
It's just like, oh, yeah, she's a teenager in the seventies
but an adult in the sixties. But January Jones, I mean, she's
terrible in this film. She couldn't be more bored. I mean, they
didn't really give her anything to do. Yeah, but it looks like she's
a sleepwalking through the role. She sounds like she's doing it too. She's
talking. Yeah, I kind of like white Queen, so I thought she'd
be a little bit more charismatic, but god damn, she looked good.
So they're in the Hell Fire Club. M Colonel disappears and he's meeting with
Sebastian Shall and Sebastian's like, hey, buddy, why don't we put some
nukes in Turkey? And he's like, what it's like right near Russia.
That's a bad idea. Why would we do that? He's like, you
should do He's like, now, I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna
drink. And then he's like, guess what. My friend makes tornadoes with
his hand, and Riptide I think he's called I think so really like digging
at the bottom of the well for that one. Okay. I don't know
anyone who's a Riptide fan. By the way, I read The Hellfire The
Dark Phoenix, I was looking at the original hell Fire team. The only
ones in this movie are Emma frost In Shall like a Zazel. I get.
I get why they put a Zazel in the movie because he looks like
Nightcrawler and it's a way to have an evil Nightcrawler. But Riptide, I'm
like, could I get anyone else? No one else? Okay, So
yeah, they beat up the colonel. She's watching it, she's seeing all
this happen. She's like, oh God, mutants exist and she's like,
and that lady can read minds except mine. Yeah. Actually I watched this
with Ian like a few weeks ago whatever, so I didn't have to like
watch it again. Yeah, And when we were watching that part, we
were just kind of like, ohhodn't she know? There are so many moments
and I think I haven't marked out where this like we're gonna talk about,
Yeah, the psychic is in this movie. Just forget that they can control
minds. They just forget. Yeah, but she has the added power of
turning into diamonds. I hate the diamond effect in this. It looks like
Twilight, not really, no, no, no no no. So the
skin when it's the tiny diamonds, that's kind of what it looked like in
origins. That looks fine, But then she goes full diamond for weird.
It looks like early CGI. It looks like CIA. I just recently I
reviewed lawnmower Man. It looks like ninety CGI. I don't like it.
I don't like it at all. But I like when she's like the Kurdle's
in on it, and the guy in the war room's like, well,
he's right here, and he's like wearing the TEXI like, clearly has Azel
teleported in there, and I like him being like, ah, nukes and
Turkey love it, let's do it. So yeah, now she knows mutants
exist, and she's like, well shit, we got to look up a
guy who knows a lot about this, a professor perhaps, and what do
you know it? Charles Xavier just gets, uh, what is a doctorate
or whatever? He's a professor now? Yeah? Whatever, yeah, whatever
it's called. I didn't graduated. I don't we take a break from that
because Eric shows up in Argentina. I love this scene. It's good.
This is my favorite scene in the whole movie. I think fun fact,
Argentina is the third most popular country that uses my last name. No wonder
why Italy is the first. I wonder what you're doing down there? People
really like floppy hats, which is what my name means there in Italy it
means Harry, So you know, just a lot of floppy hat fans down
there. I'm sure sure my family was on the level. Anyway, he's
an Argentina and he's like, I'm looking for a hairy guy with a floppy
hat. Yeah, and he finds the two Nazis. This scene is awesome.
It's so good. I love it. He's like stabbing the guy and
then he lifts up a knife it's the guy and then brings it back finishing.
But even though like the whole reveal when he was like, oh yeah,
like I'm talking with you guys, everything's cool. Yeah, we're all
Germans here, he's just like, oh, yeah, you know, you
killed my people. Yeah, and they're like what and then they're trying to
act like they're gonna do something, and of course glory's pastwards. That's what
Michael Fassbender was in. Yeah, okay, yes, I just I was
talking about Nazi's like, what was the big thing? Like, that's the
thing I remember him in. Yeah, you finally got to do the whole
Nazi killing movie Cup three. Yeah. That he was an idiot, rookie
mistake he learned when he was doing this. He's like, I heard about
a guy who looked a lot like me who put the wrong fingers up.
Oh my god, that scene my heart stopped. I was like, you
fucking idiot. Uh. This year, we're gonna do some Tarantino films.
I already shot one for boys month. I think we can all guess which
Tarantino movie is kicking off boys month, the one with the all male cast
dogs? Uh, a girl's month for kill Bill. No, no,
no, that's not even entertained that idea. Throw that idea right out the
window. No fun fact spoiler, I guess for an episode that won't come
out for a while. Soul Man is currently the most heavily edited episode of
Hacked the Movies. Reservoir Dogs will be the new most heavily episode of the
movies. Stay tuned. Huh, I blame TARANTEEDO. Why does he like
that word so much? Anyway, we gotta get into this. So Moira
meets drunk Charles and I like that he's like flirting with her and she's like,
no, no, no, I'm not here for that. I gotta
talk about mutants. You gotta talk to me. And then we see that
the Colonel, the crooked Colonel, is meeting with Sew in his yacht and
he's like, I want my money or I'm gonna blow you up with a
greene. I'm like, this is a terrible plan. What the fuck was
this plan? Yeah? A lot of the things, it's just like,
huh, you kind of have to actually listen actually kind of just like shut
your brain off. It's a lot like a guy to back you up,
maybe like a sniper or something. So yeah, he's like alone. I
like that. He's like, I'll blow them all up. And he's just
like, I'll kill all of you. And he should be like, well,
maybe not you, diamond lady. You might be able to survive.
She didn't care. She was just laying there only ya anyway. She's just
like yeah, whatever, everyone really at risk is riptid maybe, but yeah.
So Sel is like, now you're not gonna pull the pin. I
will, and he demonstrates his power, which is the power for the comic.
He can absorb kinetic energy or any kind of energy and like throw it
back. So he and I like the effect how it was like hands double
and like splits and he absorbs the grenade and he's like, yeah, look
what I can do with it. It just cuts. Yeah, It's like
I wanted to see that. And at no point in the war room do
someone go, hey, where's that kernel the guy who told us to put
our nukes in Turkey? Did he just disappear and he never comes back.
Someone should be like, maybe we shouldn't put our nukes in Turkey. This
might make us look really bad. And it's only a year after the Bay
of Pigs. We can't afford to look bad. We should really figure this
out. That that is, that is a fun element. This is after
the Bay of Pigs, the the famous botched invasion where we try to get
Cuban exiles to take over Cuba and it did not work. It did not
work. It was really embarrassing for Kennedy and according to the X Files,
it's the reason he got assassinated by the cigarette smoking Man. That was a
good episode. Remember that one. I showed you that one. It's a
cigarette smoking man. But it's like the whole episode is basically Farrest Gump if
cigarette smoking Man was far As Gump. So he's responsible for all these big
assassinations and stuff. Anyway, So Charles meats with the CIA. He's talking
about mutants and he reveals that he can read all their minds and they think
he's a spy. They don't believe him. Yep, and guess who's there,
Daddy Striker. Williams Striker's dad is there. Okay, because we got
to set up X two even though we're breaking continuity all over the place.
Striker wasn't a military guy in the comic. He was like a crazy preacher
whatever, so they don't believe him. They just think he's a spy.
And then Mystique shows off her mutation. So everyone is kind of like freaked
out by this. They don't like it, except for one Cia guy,
Oliver Platt, who, of course you remember from Lake Placid. Go back
and watch a Lake Placid episode. Could we do what is the worst Lake
Placid sequel? If you want? How many are there? Two? What
we should do is what is the worst Lake Placid sequel? Then we should
do the anacondas and we should do Lake Placid versus Anaconda. Okay, again,
the alligator was or the crocodile was not called lake Placid. The title
makes no fucking sense. A Nightmare in Elmstreet versus Jason, Like, the
title makes no sense. Okay, So he's like, hey, I kind
of dig what you guys are doing. And then I like Charles does the
whole thing where he freezes everyone. I do like that moment where he's like,
you want to see they try to like lock everybody down. Yeah,
yeah, they try to lock everyone down, but he's able to get but
I like he gets Oliver Plaid. He's just like, hey, you want
to see another trick. He's like what he's like, gett in the car.
He's like, okay, so yeah. Uh. Later that day,
uh, they're trying to stop Sebastian the Coast Guard. Charles is teaming up
with the Coast Guard and the CIA to stop Sebastian shall ship. Little do
they know, Eric is also there. And Eric goes to kill Shaw.
He is not prepared for him to be immute and he was unaware of that.
Yeah, Emma Frost, I think is the one that like kicks him
off the boat. I think so, yeah, because he's like never against
our own kind. Yeah, but yes, yes, yes, I like
that Shaw is excited to see him, like a right buddy. I mean,
but also Sew, You're like you should know he's probably gonna hate you,
but like he knows he can't die, so like I guess so,
but it's just like, man, but why are you even trying? Like
you should be like, oh hey, Emma, kill him, kill him.
And well, he has a good power. I think he wants to
try to manipulate him. He is trying to recruit people. But it's like,
you should know that you're not going to recruit this guy, like,
and he's like a really powerful mutan, so you kind of also don't want
to piss him off. So I like that where they throw him off the
ship. He starts to tack with the chain. He starts to attack with
the chain, but this in between that is Charles trying to stop it.
But he didn't expect Emma Frost to be there. She like blocks him.
That was such a weird effect to show that, yeah, you can't get
it, and it's just like, so, yeah, her diamond form can
block him. Uh so yeah, he uses the chain. Actually, it's
a cool shot of like the chain ripping up the ship and everything. I
really like that them actually running and he could see the chain going behind them.
That was really cool. And Emma Frosh just forgot that she could control
people's minds. I could get him to stop at any moment. She could
literally get in his mind and stop Magneto. It's any minute she wanted.
It's fun. She just forgot. They just had to have an excuse off
the submarine. Listen, listen, you know from experience Ladies, They always
forget things. They forget where their keys are. Never forget where my keys
are. They forget what's left and right. They forget that they control people's
minds, like it's we always forget it left right. I'll tell you.
Look, no, you know what I bitch about that In the Blair Witch
episode, Yeah, I was complaining about a girl who did it to Tricia,
and then Tricia admits that she also screws up the left, and then
she's like, but it really is on the guys. They should know what
I mean. It's like, no, we don't know. We see their
left rights. I remember I'm watching it today and I'm just like, wow,
this is really cool. Why isn't she stopping him at any moment?
Be cool? I don't know. Up, you got to come up with
some like bullshit thing for why she was distracted because she was doing trying to
block Charles Old and that that's it. Yeah, I'm constantly blocking Charles.
I can't dare you figure it? You figured it? You're welcome, okay,
because there's no way and we haven't seen an example in this film of
a psychic controlling multiple people's minds. Oh wait, literally the previous scene literally
the preview Girls is stronger that way, Okay. I like that. Eric.
They escape into a submarine that's underneath the ship and they're just like diving.
I like that. Eric is like trying to pull it up, but
he's really just drowning himself. He's just like and like Charles has to like
go in there and be like stop. Yeah, He's like, you're not
gonna wait, You're gonna die. Let it go. So he lets it
go. They go to the CIA facility that what you call it, Oliver
Platt has and they meet Hank McCoy played by Nicholas Hulp. He's terrible in
this. He is awful in this, and for a while I did not
like Nicholas Holt. I don't think a lot of people are really that great
in this movie, and I think it was a direction. Maybe he was.
He's really good. I've seen him in other film. Actually, i've
seen him. Hold On, Is he Jack the Giant Killer? He is?
He? Hold On, He's Jack the Giant Kill. The whole joke
about how he didn't know the actor and it's I just remember and it's this
guy you and McGregor I think was the bad guy in that movie. Maybe
I'll watch it one day, you Now. I remember seeing him in movies
and just not liking him. It wasn't until Fury Road where I'm like,
Okay, maybe this guy is good, and since then I like him.
Have you seen Renfield yet? Not yet? Renfield is awesome and he's really
good. I knew him from Skins okay, the UK show, and he
was actually really good in that too. I mean, obviously it's like,
you know, teenagers acting whatever, so not the greatest thing in the world,
but like he did really well, and like only like a few people
from like that show ended up becoming like big people. Like there was him,
there's the girl who plays his sister. Oh my god, what is
her name, Kaya scolderod or whatever? Oh yeah, I know. Then
she was in Krull and she was in the New Resident Evil movie, and
then uh uh Dev Patel, Oh he's also in that. Yeah, there's
only like a handful of that group that actually like did something. It's kind
of really funny. But yeah, he's won me over now, and now
him and someone else in this movie are going to be in the New Superman.
Nicholas Holt is Lex Luthor now and I think he shaved his head for
it, so they're not doing the Jesse Eisenberg thing whatever that was. So
I like him, now I didn't like him in this. And also I
hate what they did with Beast in this. It was weird. Okay,
So if you're a comic fan, you know that before he was a blue
Catman, Beast was like this big burly dude and he was real muscly and
whatnot. And then they show Beast in X Men two on the TV screen
for like a second in human form where he's being interviewed, but he's kind
of like he's got like a big suit on and whatnot. In this Beast,
no one knows he's a mutant because it's just his feet are weird hand
feet. Basically, he gets uh, he gets out it uh by Xavier
on accident. An Xavier like feels embarrassed and it's like, well, wow,
Xavior, it's not like you can erase people's minds. You could just
erase the last minute and reset everything and it's fine. Just love that happens.
Uh. Yeah, so he's just like, oh, another mutant,
and Oliver Platz like what He's like, Oh, my feet are weird and
It's like, like what about like being smart, Like couldn't that be like
part of it at least? Well, he's also got like the agility and
stuff, but like his whole thing is like I'm a freak and I have
to hide myself. I'm like, dude, this is after like World War
Two. There's probably a lot of like amputees and stuff around, Like you
you don't stand out as much as other mutants, Like oh wow, your
feet are weird. You're fucking socks on, Like yeah, just people had
weird feet before and after, people born with missing fingers, and like you're
you're not as like yeah, like you're not mystique is what I'm saying.
You're not as asl you You're not you don't have a tail, You're not
like a different color like dude relaxed, but it said he's like I am
a tortured you and I'm gross, even though I'm a handsome British man.
But yeah, apparently he built the Blackbird, the x JIT whatever it's called.
Back with the hell Fire Gang, Shaw reveals that the Russians built him
a helmet that can block psychics. That helmet doesn't look familiar at all.
It's I wonder what that could be. I wonder who will have that helmet
at the end of the movie. And he painted in a different color.
I do like that has a little bit of the flare on it. Uh.
They really try to do like the whole sixties feel with this. So
yeah, he shows like, uh, it doesn't work totally blocks out psychics.
Is it here where he asked her to get like water and she goes
up to the glen? Yes, yeah, that was kind of fun,
even though to get ice look like cartoony a ship. Yeah, that was
kind of fun. So Raven and McCoy they're bonding over being different because one's
a horrifying blue monster lady and the other guy has weird feet. It's like
not, it's just not really, couldn't they have at least had it where
he could like turn into the beast or whatever and then later have it permanent,
like you know what I mean, Then they could actually bond over blue.
But like if he gets aggressive, he like bulks out like the whole
or something. I don't know, it rides me. Me and Monica were
joking about this at X Men three, where rogues like can they cure our
horrible powers and storms like nope, nothing wrong with us. Like, well,
storm, you can touch people, you know, normal life. There's
a big difference between changing the weather and sucking the life for us out of
someone and killing them. Yeah. Same thing with Hank and mystique. Yeah,
you want to understand mystique or at least can he have like blue hair
or something? I mean where and he has to like die? Yeah,
because you don't understand mystique. Your feet are proportional. She's like, yeah,
but there's like weird scales on them. You don't understand. When the
Internet gets invented, I'll never be able to make money off of these.
She's like, what's the Internet? He's like, I'm also working on that.
It's next to the ex jet and the brain reading device. Working on
the internet. He just invented everything apparently. Oh my god, I think
I remember back in the day seeing that. He apparently watched a lot of
Frasier to imitate Kelsey Grammar. Where was any of that? He didn't know?
It didn't sound direct or anything like him at all. It's almost like
he's a liar. Okay, I like that. He's like, Hey,
so I'm working on this thing that'll get rid of physical abilities, but it
still allows to have our powers. And your blood might be the key.
And she's like, ooh, that's hot, let's make out. But before
she can make out with him, Eric comes in to cook the day.
Yeah, no, it's not cooking, it's cock blocking. I guess it's
not cooking yet. But yeah. He comes in. He's like, yet
he's not sitting in a chair watching them, but that also means he was
like lurking watching two teenagers and like, I'm gonna ruin this guy's fucking moment.
Yeah, I'm gonna ruin this guy. Yeah, and he comes in.
He's like, oh, kinky. He's like, by the way,
I wouldn't change anything about you really. Eric gets her to change later,
it's like change all your thoughts and whatnot to my anyway. Charles begs Eric
to ignore his revenge mission. He's like, hey man, we can really
use you. Stop focusing on revenge. Really help out the mutant team.
And Eric's like, I'm not really about that, but I guess so.
But he convinces the CIA and Charles. He's like, look, if we're
gonna look from you, Ince, we're gonna find them not the CIA and
everyone. Oliver Platt has no say in this, even though they're using all
his resources. So remember that scene in the first two movies. There were
two scenes in the first two movies where they mentioned that Magneto helped build So
ignore that that's not the case. Beast built Cerebro, unless Magneto meant the
one at the mansion. Maybe, so they built Cerebra, and I like
that. It's like in a big, little like white room, and it's
not as streamlined as the labor one. It's like printing out onto like computer
paper. And there's the famous line where he's like, do you sure you
don't want to shave your head? He's like, don't touch my hair.
That was funny because we know he will go bald at one point. It
didn't need to be tied to the plot of any kind of film. It's
just gonna happen naturally. But we know it'll happen eventually. We'll get to
that in an Apocalypse. I got another thing to bitch about in this movie,
so the hair can wait till we get there. And then we see
a bunch of future mutants from the team storm Cyclops someone else. Uh,
here's the problem if we're going based on the actor's age, they all would
have been toddlers or not born yet. Also, just this whole scene of
them like going out together to pick up these other people to like bring them
to the team. It felt like one of those like hey, me and
my partner saw you from across the I really thought, especially the one part.
What's her name the girl with the wings ange? Oh yeah, her
name is Angel Salvador and she was co created by comic creator Ethan van Skyver,
who's local. I wanted him to come on to review Green Lantern,
but apparently he doesn't like talking about that movie. He got kicked out of
the mainstream comic scene. Uh, he started comic skate. I don't think
you'd like his personal beliefs, but he's actually a fascinating guy to listen to.
He's got a lot of fun behind the scenes comic stuff. This is
a character he created. The scene when they're sitting in the bed together and
they're trying to recruit her. I thought they were all gonna smooch. Well,
I think that's what she thought. Well she said dance, But what's
that close? In general? Like those two I don't know they were giving
me big, big and we're going to kiss later. Bro. It doesn't
help that he's like, oh, we'll show you ours, show show me
yours, not even just this scene. Just like after this, I'm just
kind of like, yeah, are they little? But uh, yes,
why do you think Boyra is in there? It's the fill off the case.
Charles is really into Moira. Yeah, it's like the end of Return
of the King where Sam's like, I really like that girl back home and
Frodo's like, yeah, sure you do, buddy. So yeah, her
power is that her tattoos turned into wings and she can well. Later on
she reveals that she could spit fire. Yeah. I wasn't familiar with this
character. She was very new at the time. What's the Zoe crab Kravitz.
Yeah, Zoey Kravitz, very beautiful. Uh. Then we get to
see Darwin, who will also be in the new Superman movie. He will
be playing Mister Terrific in James Gunn Superman. He was also in the My
Bloody Valentine three D remake, which I reviewed without me Again, I was
like, I don't need to put Johannah in this episode. She'll be in
the Big Return of the King episode. Okay to me, Yeah, and
then you kept me out of episodes for how long? Now that was all
accidents. I'm supposed when I say I want a movie, now I'm getting
that movie. I will show up here if I find out you're filming a
movie without me, and it'll be four people, or I'll just kick you
out. Look, you could pick a movie, just make sure it's a
good one. The ad revenue is not so good this year on YouTube.
So they meet Darwin and his power is he can adapt to everything. I
like how they prove it because he's a cab driver and they through the toll
thing. He's like, oh okay. They meet Cyclops, his brother Havoc,
who he doesn't chose powers right away, but basically he can shoot and
the comics I think was from his hands, and they do it in the
next film, he's like shooting from his hands. Yeah, but in this
one it's like he can't control. He has like the same red energy,
although it's like a laser and again Cyclops is blast aren't really lasers whatever.
But yeah, so he could like shoot energy out of his body, but
it's unfocused right now. And then we meet Banshee and this actor. This
actor's voice always robbed me the wrong way. You like fish, I like
fish too. I wish you could bite some time and talk about it.
That's a little weird voice. I don't know. There's something about his voice
that eh. I kept seeing him in movies around this time, like,
ah, the guy's voice is really irking me. I don't like it.
I don't like it. But he's fine. He's Banshee, who's a character
I also don't like. And he's a little too young to be hooking up
with Moira, so I'm assuming that relationship's not gonna happen like it does in
the comics. Uh, I don't know. You saw Star Wars. Yeah,
but yeah, his power is that he can scream really loud. Then
we get the Wolverine cameo. It was kind of nice that the X movies
took a break from Wolverine, like at least this one did. Yeah,
And I was like, oh wow, because he just got his own movie
wasn't very good, and like, oh, you know, give him a
cameo. Why not? Because his character would have been around at that point.
It makes sense to have him there. But I do this started the
trend of him cursing, like saying fuck. They started putting in like a
bunch of movies. I think, I just love this. Gave me a
giggle. I enjoyed it. Go fund yourself and like, okay, ye
see you later. So we cut back to hell Fire Club. They're looking
at the nuclear reactor. He mentions that they're children of the atom. This
was like a thing from the comics where they decided that radiation not necessarily like
the nuclear bomb, but like radiation in general is like what caused the genetic
mutations. But I think some of the comics later on just reccond it TV
radio, you know, all that stuff. But I don't know what we
mentioned the first way. Well, like when I heard Stanley talking about do
you know why he decided to make them like evolved mutants. He got tired
of coming up with ways characters got their powers, so he's like, oh,
what if they just when they hit puberty they get special powers? Some
do, some don't. Yeah, it's like that's a cool way to do
it. After a while, you're like, how many people are gonna fall
into nuclear reactors and adam bombs and stuff. How many experiments could go wrong?
What if they're just born and they have these powers. So this movie's
going on the whole like radiation is what's causing it. And then Emma feels
Xavier because of Cerebro. She's like, I shouldn't be able to feel him
at this far because I guess there is a language. But she's like,
something's going on there. Let me see Charles and Eric play chess. This
might be the first time they're playing chess. And no, no, no,
no, no, no, Jana playing chess is not gay. Okay,
Andrew tain and his brother played chess. You might be onto something,
but let's get back into this. Uh Christ, he's so have you seen
the way he walks like honey and his brother That's why he's talking about how
he doesn't even enjoy having sex with women, and it's just like, honey,
I feel bad for the guys who got roped in by him because it's
like, well, you told they were all gonna get laid, but no
one's getting laid at this point because the women are getting worse and the guys
have less money, and you know you can't really sell them on that.
So now he's trying to pivot to like you don't even need to get laid,
don't even bother with it. It's like, oh dude, come on,
come on, man, all right, beg this. So yeah,
they're playing chess and they're arguing over them finding the mutants because of course Eric
is like, yeah, that's how it starts, cataloging how many there are?
Uh so, yeah, that's you get to see some of the tension
there and their friendship. Then the young X men come up with names and
they show off their powers and what are the names. It's Havoc, Mystique,
Banshee and Darwin state Darwin I did like when he put his head in
the Yeah, an Angel's just Angel, which is confusing because there already is
Angel, and I'm like, okay, it's Angel, sounding like they don't
have like a mutant name for her, Like that's kind of confusing. Why
can't she be like Pixie or something, you know, I mean something.
I thought that was her name, but I guess not. To see the
problem is Angel is literally one of the first X Men. It's not like
it was the name of like an obscure X men from one comic. Like
it's literally an actual character. So yeah, they're all showing up their powers
and Beast doesn't have a little bonding moment like Havoc, is this really mean
to Beast and his feet? He wanted to call you big Foot and he's
like, oh, it's just like Havoc. How about you like not accidentally
kill people? How do you do that? But I guess uh, Piece
is better than me because I would have been clapped right back. But yeah,
this is when he shows off his power and he's shooting that. I
didn't like the scene, and he's like stray back and then everybody's like,
no, we're gonna wants no, look, give the Summers boys a break.
Okay, their dad is currently in space fighting Aliens. I forgot about
that until I was rewatching the cartoon. I'm like, oh, yeah,
their dad was a traveling space man. I totally forgot about that. Charles,
Eric and Moira they go to Moscow or they're they're going to Russia to
stop the the Russian general played by Raids Savage. Blah blah blah blah.
You've seen this guy in a million movies, the Russian general guy with the
mustache. He's in a million films. Yeah. Whatever, It's like an
ice wide shut he's in like the Taken movies. He's a Batman beginning.
He is one you bring up though, Yeah, that was the first one.
I love that movie. He's in Batman Begins. He's the homeless guy
with the coat. Bruce Wayne gives the coat to and he's like, so
they're on their way to stop him. I love the scene with the checkpoint
that they didn't know is on the map and Charles has to like make the
Russians think the back thing is empty, and all the Americans are like,
oh god, oh God, oh God. And I like how so Emma
is the one who meets with the Russian general because Shaul has other plans.
I like the little trick she does where she makes it seem like he's hooking
up with her and she's just sitting off and she's like a pathetic just ignoring
him. Also, he's that's how he hooks up her girls. He just
goes that's all he's doing, fondling the boobies. I don't know, not
really, because it's thirteen's probably is the only thing they could think of.
So they're gonna bail because Shawl's not there, and Eric's like, no,
I got other plants. He goes in, not really guns blazing, but
I like that he gets like the barb wire and he wraps those dudes up
in barbed wire. He's like dismantling all the guy's guns. He's just taking
them out, like all right, this is cool. So yeah, and
then they break in. They see Emma there, she's blocked. She goes
diamond mode and block and then he starts wrapping the bed because he rips the
bed frame apart. Yes, hold, metal bed frames are stronger than diamonds.
Diamonds aren't that strong. What the heck? I highly tell that that
metal bed frame could get through the diamond but whatever, I know, diamonds
aren't unbreakable, like they can be broken, but like a metal bed frame
just and like that, I assume like she goes full like thick diamond.
Yeah. So yeah, they threatened to kr if she doesn't give up the
plan. Yeah, Eric is Yeah, so they read her mind and they
learned that his plan is to launch all the nukes to increase radiation, to
create more mutants and kill all the humans. And he's they're imagining like the
Capitol building and everyone's cheering his name. So yeah, they get that information.
They take her prisoner. Uh. The CIA guards make fun of the
kids. Yeah, what the hell? Yeah, like wing lady, show
us your wings, feet boy, show us your feet. Uh, but
I kind of like this. Then again, Nightcrawler's awesome and everyone like Nightcrawler,
so it's cool to see an evil Nightcrawler, Like, oh, what
would a bad guy do with that power? I love he's just picking up
the them. Fucking poor Oliver Platt, he's unceremoniously just exited from the film.
He just gets splattered everywhere. What is that? That is a cool
shot where like he's suddenly like in front of the movie as he's fallen.
You see more of the guards falling in general too. Whatever. When they
didn't know what was going on, they just kind of hear what the Yeah
that the build up is really good. They're like what is that? Because
at first you think it's just him teleporting. It's like, oh no,
it's a possibly sitting brown Azazel's coming back in Deadpool three. Yeah, they
show that one still where they're in front of ant Man's corpse. It's the
confirmed ones are Pyro and he's wearing the comic accurate suit a Zazel. Uh.
Death Strike. No, yeah, lady death Strikes back? Is your
favorite actress coming back? Which one you know from an next one movie?
From dead Pool? Who's my favorite actress in Deadpool? The first one?
What are you talking about, lady? Oh, Gina Corano now favorite actress?
No, it's your favorite? Did you see? I did that pole
and it was like, who would you rather return to a franchise? Gina
Corano in Star Wars or and Batman? I won? I voted for Geen.
No, I didn't. I didn't vote at all. Here's my take
on it. I don't want her back in Star Wars. But that's because
I didn't want her in Star Wars in the first place. And also I
didn't want that show made, and I wish the show would get canceled,
and I was white canceled. Uh. Yeah, it's so funny to join
on the Gina Krana thing. I'm like, I don't think she should have
been hired in the first place. Like wait what, I'm like, Yeah,
I'm alone against all of you. She was mediocre and Haywire and Deadpool?
Why do we keep putting her in things? I know you love her,
you love that Joe Biden movie, but we gotta get back an X
men. I'm Joe Biden movie. Oh is it nothing that she made?
Was? Yeah, that's weird that Daily Wire movies didn't take off. And
suddenly she's suing Disney and trying to get back in Star So Shall shows up
in his helmet looking all cool. I do like that. The guards like
trying to shoot him, and he's like absorbing all of it. They hit
him with the rocket and he just blows all of them up. That was
badass. Uh, he kills the two guards who are assholes. I hate
the scene. Oh, what's about to happen? You know? So he
comes in, he's kind of doing the Magneto role. He's like pre Magneto.
He's like, hey, guys, these humans don't like you, but
I do, and I want to make the world a better place for us.
You should join me. And of course some people can be like angels,
like, yeah, people the kind of shitty to me. Maybe you
guys don't have the same experience, but I'm gonna go with this guy.
And Darwin's like, I'll go with you, and he decides he's gonna protect
Angel so have it can shoot his lasers everywhere. But then Darwin, who
can adapt to anything. Anything can't swallow. He swallows the energy. See
how you get around that is like he's still technically alive, but to adapt
the energy, he had to become energy and he's not able to take physical
form. Did they like think like, oh, this would be cool to
have him in this because like he hasn't been in an X Men movie yet,
blah blah blah, And then they realize, oh shit, like we
don't know what to do with him because he's op Yeah, and that what
happened. But that that's why you when a character is super powerful, you
need a weakness and he needn't have one. That's why. That's how you're
right around it. Like oh, maybe he's in a statue or he's energy,
and they're like, he's still technically alive. He's just figuring out how
to rebuild his body. He's yeah, he doesn't have to just study.
He literally dies and like, but that's not how that works. I was
so I was literally just like, I mean, I guess the only other
way you could really kill him is if leech was there, but he's not
born yet, because he could turn off people's healing powers. I think I
was joking about that. With the end of X Men three, Leech is
that the X Men mansion, and it's like Wolverine would always have to avoid
him because if Leech got near Wolverine, he's like, oh no, suddenly
one hundred years old and my bones can't shrink like human stupid is are covered.
You have to run past Leech every single time, like, oh,
God, be horrible, it's terrible. That was stupid, stupid, it
was stupid. Maybe so man, I'm just like, but that because again,
that would have been a funny thing if they actually did the statue thing
whenever where like say he was a statue that they ruined, like hav like
knock the head off. They move him there, He's like, yeah,
he's stuck there now figure adapting to get back until he can figure out how
to rebuild his cell. Yeah, like whatever, something anything, because now
people have just been fighting about it for like over ten years, Like this
makes no Fun's stupid. The dumbest thing in the movie personally. Yeah,
yeah, Shawl takes Angel, they get out of there. The other mutant's
day. Uh. Then he forces the Russian guy to put missiles in Cuba,
and he's like what am I doing that. I'm a bad but I'm
not that bad. And then the other mutants show up, and I guess
once you see the Devil, you're like, oh no, and I better
do with the Devil. Tell it's not like people weren't really Christian or anything
in the sixties. The Devil shows up and it's like, oh, well,
I'm gonna get killed if I don't do it. Then we get a
random ray Wise cameo. Yeah, what the fuck? I don't know.
I always like seeing ray Wise, not always in good movies, but it
made me want to watch RoboCop and Twin Peaks again. He's in the war
room. He's like, oh no, they're putting their missiles there. We
gotta put our missiles here. What are we gonna do? Then Charles moves
the teens to his mansion. This happens really late in the movie. I
thought this was gonna be a bigger part of the movie. Yeah, they
would have gotten out of the CIA stuff earlier. And then the CIA Eric
Charles stuff really lingers for a while, and then it delivers on the promise
of the movie of Charles getting the team together and training them. But it's
done in like a montage almost as Russian US are preparing for war. So
yeah, so couple of things happened in this montage. It's all intercup but
we'll go one at a time. Charles is convincing Eric to use a different
emotion to focus on his to use his powers, because he's only been using
rage, and he's like, you have a happy memory of your mom lighting
on Minora And he's like, Okay, now you can move that big satellite
that's always been there. When we watched the other X Men movies, there
was always just a big satellite. I remember. It's my favorite thing to
look at the shelves, A very real satellite. It's a very big and
white. But yeah, he's able to move it. And I'm assuming a
bunch of people had their TV whatnot ruined that thing. Yeah, well it
was a direct TV whatever that was a satellite. Yeah, all right.
My grandfather had a friend who lived in the mountains and I had to go
up there and he had like a big saddleite and not this obviously, but
in a big like satellite dish that you had to hit a button to like
move to get different channels. It was like insane. So yeah, then
he has Havoc test out his powers and a bunker that has stepped dad built.
He's like, yeah, my stepdad built this bunker. He thought nuclear
war was gonna happen. Uh So they end up making a device to help
channel his energy through his chest, kind of like a satellite. Kind of
like a satellite. Uh so they're able to stop that. Uh. He
helps Hank unleash his beast. He's like, hey, if you don't wear
shoes, you could run more gooder, stupid. And this effect will really
bad too, with the speeding effect. This almost looks like a comedy like
sometimes yeah, I mean I'm kind of okay with it though, because like
it's based on a fucking comic, like you know what I mean. Yeah,
but like coming off the other ones again, not as bad as the
Wolverine movie, but still it's a whatever. So yeah, he's like,
hey, if you don't wear shoes, you'll be able to run faster.
And then there I do like them testing out Banshee with the flight suit.
Why would you skip to flying? It's like, how about you try different
pitches and whatnot? You meaning you're like this power strong, we can make
you fly and the guy's like, I don't want to fly? What the
fu? So? I do like that he falls the first time. The
only reason they did it is because they needed somebody else to be able to
fly. Yeah, because he's flying, so I like they throw him off
the satellite and then he uses a PA. Why couldn't they use Darwin for
that type of shit where they had him fucking get wings? Like what?
I No, I don't even care about the Darwin character, to be honest,
but why it's just stupid. It is so many other things. I'm
mad. It makes me just as bad as guy who can grow his arms
back but not his balls and X Men three. It's just why why did
he only grow his arms back and not his balls? Anyway? And I
make I made a point in that episode. I'm like, there are people
who go their whole lives not losing their arms. How did he find out
he had that power? He could have been ninety and just cut his arm
off and been there anyway. Okay, his arms could grow back, but
he still is bald. He couldn't grow back his hair. Okay, uh
yeah, then Eric. Eric does a little bit of motivating on his own.
He tells Raven it's like, hey, if you're constantly like in human
form, you're not like using your entire ability, like you'll be distracted.
Uh So you kind of like convinced her like, hey, chill on the
human form for a bit, and then she's stronger when she's not, and
she's able to pick up the weights. I could pick up weights, not
heavy ones, but I could pick them up now. Jesus Christ. Everyone
else is enjoying buff Tony. Why aren't you enjoying buff Tony? I can
flex down because Joey C is not here. He flexes in some videos of
me and I have to tell him to stop because his arms are nicer.
Are you attracted to that? No? No, it makes me look bad
because I'm trying to make my arms look better. I foul to see how
that's the thing because then he shows off his weren't you gonna work out with
me and Joey C? So you you want to make out with Joey C.
No, that's why you're mad that that's not manly. That's that's not
it is manly. No no, no, no, no no no.
Joey C turned this episode off. Okay, he's like, live your truth,
Raven live your truth. This is the scene where it does the weird
showing her entire body and the blue. Is this that part or is that
later? This is it's that's coming up, that's coming up. Uh.
So McCoy makes his physical attribute cure so he won't have gross feet, and
then he kind of calls Raven ugly. He's like my feet because she backed
down and she's like, no, I'm not gonna do it. He's like,
my feet and your blue skin will be criticized equally, and she's like,
well again, I feel like I'm gonna get more criticized you. But
she has one. She's like, no, I shouldn't have to hide this
thing that I can't really control. It should just be accepted who I am.
Yeah, you know, woke stuff. But he's just like, oh,
you'll never be beautiful, and she's like why, She's like turns blue
and she goes back into a hue and he's like, see now you're pretty.
I'm like, oh buddy, oh buddy, Ah. He's a young
guy. You'll make mistakes. It's like when I had a girlfriend who said
do these make me uh look heavy? And I I answered appropriately instead of
lying. I learned the hard way. I should have said, no,
looks great on you. Always be lying? Right, tell the men always
be lying? Is this why you're alone? Because like things are starting to
make more sense to me. That was teenage Tony. We can't. We
can't flame modern Tony for things teenage lie to your significant other. No,
always be lying, always lie, lie until the day you die. And
so women do they lie and eat hot ship? I do love me my
spicy chips. Oh god, someone didn't think they're like post four things that
remind you of women or whatever, and someone retweeted it with the bisexual flag
ship speaking of like hot chips. Have you tried the doritos, the baja
ones with the mango. No, No, they're delicious, they're spicy.
I only eat the Quest Protein chips now, yeah, I can't. No,
sorry, what I need to like live and like actually like eat real
food. No, I'm trying to live longer. I'm not telling you to
binge a whole bag like you can eat like three chips, Tony. I
eat my Quest Protein chips. They're actually really good. They're actually not that
bad. I can't. The taco flavored one is my favorite, of course
it is. They also make protein reces cups. I love those. Not
the most healthiest for you, but they give you more protein anyway. Charles
and Eric argue against killing Shawl. He's like, I hope you don't kill
them. Maybe we could work with him or whatever. Persuade him and like,
no, I'm going to kill him until he is dead. He will
be dead. Yeah. Uh Hank takes the cure, but it backfiresom I
don't think we needed an origin for why he was specifically blue. They're just
a b But also the scene was like also like edited weird. Yeah,
it was a little bit it looked weird. Yeah, I get what they
were going for, but like, because it's all on the p OV.
Yeah, he looked like ship. His reveal is not here yet, but
I have complaints to he looks like shy. If backfires, he like becomes
beast Lee. Again. We had that whole thing where I said they were
just mute, and so they didn't need that. And I know beast evolves
in the comics, but I don't think it was ever tied to anything like
this. Raven tries to bone Eric and this lead actually, like the scene,
this lead led to a speaking of memes. This led to a bunch
of memes. I said, the real Raven perfection. He's like, no,
maybe when you're old her and then I did like she turns into Rebecca
Remain for a little bit. That was a fun cameo. But yeah,
and then he makes out with her, even though he said maybe in a
few years, and then she turned blue. How old is he supposed to
be? Well, he's definitely probably early thirties or something. Yeah, she's
gotta be twenties, twenty twenty one because she's probably the same major's Charles.
He just grabbed around there, like early twenties, I think. Yeah.
So he's making out with her. So she's like I don't like Hank,
I like you guy. Uh so she's getting uh oh. Then she goes
naked, probably didn't put her clothes back on from Eric's room and walked right
into the kitchen and Charles is like, why are you naked? And he
should say, like, what's that sweaty smell? Too? What's going on
there? What's going on? Were you just are you in the gym or
something? Did you work out earlier? Training more? Uh? Yeah,
So she shows off for a body and he's all like, ah, what
are you doing? Stop it? And you're like this is who I am.
You're proud. Would you have accepted me or whatnot? And she's kind
of like, hey, you've been kind of hh. She compares herself to
when she was a child. She's like, oh, yeah, like you
found me the first time like this or whatever, and he was acting all
weird and it's just like bro. Like her movies are still covered, like
shut the fuck up, Like, no, they're not covered. That's just
what they look like. They're still covered, like nott miss, you don't
see the nipple. There doesn't have nipples. Those are what they look like.
I now have to censor her because no, no you don't, because
apparently the fucking actual aerola and nipples the issue. Because men can show off
their fucking areoles and nipples with their fucking hairy asses. They shouldn't, I
agree, shouldn't more women's nipples? Please? Everyone should be cut No,
everyone should be covered up. No, everyone cover I'm gonna keep my shirt
on forepp thank god, until I hit my goalie. So anyway, uh,
I mean there's some sites where the shirt comes off, but we can't
talk about those. So, yeah, she's naked and proud. I'm naked
and I'm proud, freaking out Charles, she's getting radicalized by Eric. She's
like, fuck you, Charles. Eric, Like, I agree with Eric,
and it's not because it's the only boy I've ever made out that I
might have maybe lost my virginity five minutes ago to him, I just really
believe. It was like, Okay, mistaque, I think you're a little
uh, maybe you should really weigh the pros and cons of each side.
So the X Men fine Hank's office. It's trashed, but you left them
a nice little note, and they put on their ex suits, which they
found a good reason for why they would have suits. He's like, well,
none of us adapted to g forces or bullets. And they are black
and blue, which are much like the original X Men teams. That was
like a fun nod. They don't look fully like the costumes, but they
work, and it was nice to finally see colorful costume in an X Men
movie. They don't do it again until Dark Phoenix or sorry sorry, the
end of Apocalypse, and then they don't deliver on that in Dark Phoenix.
So this was a nice change because at this point we're getting kind of tired
of the black leather. The next movie, they have color for outfits,
but they don't look like they're traditional album yeah oh yeah. So then they
go to the Air Force, the air base where they get the Blackbird,
and Hank shows off his new look. I don't like it. It looks
like shit. Yeah, the comics. This isn't entirely the movie's fault.
The comics around this time were trying to like make him more cat like.
They kept like evolving beasts till more like a lion. So his little cat
nose, I don't like it at all. I didn't like it in the
comics. I don't like it here. Yeah, and the next movie they
totally just make him look like he did an X Men three, they got
rid of the cat nose. They're like, nah, I get rid of
that. I get what they were going for, but like, it didn't
work for me. His stupid little glasses. He looks so weird. He
wasn't like proportional either. It looks yeah. I guess maybe if he didn't
have the suit on and he was all hairy wolf man, maybe it would
have worked better. But him like in the tight suit with the big head,
I didn't like it. I didn't like it. Although I shouldn't be
making fun of people with big heads, because oh yeah, I saw that
dick Master Sam has been spreading this idea that I have a giant head.
What an asshole. They didn't. They did an experiment on his head where
you're trying to see if it's round, because it only looks flat. I
think I'm having a flat It is actually more a flat because they put popsically
sticks. They put three popsically sticks and drilled holes and them to just make
sure there's a curve in his head. Did you see that? He looks
like a like a character ice cream. Some people think his head is only
a flat, two dimensional head. No, I see those Sony, those
Sonic the head cho like popsicles, you know, yeah, I think that
looks a lot like Tony with the eyeballs kind of actually in three dimensions.
Am I gonna make a Tony for Hack the movies around Christopher Italian eyeballs kind
of fall chocolate eyeballs are kind of falling off comes. Yeah, you get
a Tony, I'm gonna put that in the back. You'd need a thermist
to keep it. You Tony from hacked the movies poosticles. Holy fuck,
I'm gonna actually look about how to make how to make Bob's Tony from movies.
It's because he has a tiny face. He needs to make fun of
other people to make himself feel better. He should be a shamed I'm like,
I'm like mystique, who should be proud of how she looks. Dick
Masters should be He should be ashamed and hide his face. Veto should also
be ashamed of the way he Okay, then, uh, we see that
there's a conflict about to happen in Cuba. The Americans are one side,
the Rush are on the other side. Random cameos from Jason Bagay which I
used to call him being but apparently that's not how his name is pronounced,
and Michael Ironside of all people. Uh, Jason Bagay. You know what
the last movie was that I reviewed? That he was in What Tony Home
Alone? Four? He replaced Kevin's dad in Home Alone four? Go back
and watch our what is the Worst Home Alone Movie? Episode is definitely not
three. No, it is not three. It would have been three had
they stopped at three, but they kept going and it was Yeah, I
love Home alone three. Have you seen four? Five or six? No?
Don't plan two? Mm hm silent I heard about it. The Silent
Hill girls in five like little Girl, Yeah, ok. And Michael No,
Malcolm McDowell's also in five anyway. Yeah, So random cameos from them.
I know they're not cameos, but like they really stick out, and
I'm like, I know who they are, why they have bigger roles?
Who are these people? Both armies are ready to attack a ship. There's
a Russian cargo ship that's about to break the embargo line, and the Americans
are like, uh, well, Russia's drawing first blood and the Russians are
like, what are they doing? It turns out as Azels killed everyone because
the X men are there. They show up in their jet YEP and Charles
is reading the mind of someone on the ship to see what happens, and
a Azel kills him. So Charles knows that as Azel is piloting the ship
and Charles should use that mind control thing he has to mind control is Azel
to turn off the ship and then teleport to Sebastian and kill Sebastian. Instead,
Charles doesn't do any of what I just said. They have to find
a reason for Magneto to lift the fucking submarine. Instead, Charles mind erases
another Russian so they get the Russians to fire on the Russian ship to show
that they're not the bad guys. And I do like that the guy didn't
know he did it. This is They're like, you just stopped the major
war. He's like, what just happened? Where am I? So Shaw's
pissed. He's like, what the fuck? I had this whole planned.
He's like, Okay, well, I'm gonna absorb the reactor. I'm gonna
turn into a bomb. One way or another. We're starting this goddamn war.
So they can't find the submarine, and they're like, we need sonar,
so they drop Banshee into the water. He uses his sound whatever to
find the fucking submarine, transfers the information to Charles, I guess, and
they find it and then Eric. Why couldn't Eric just feel for it.
There's a lot of metal in the ocean. I think there's a big difference
between the little tiny pieces of like other things up there and a giant fucking
submarine. No, he's probably like giant pieces of metal, like come on,
now, come on, now I don't know, he's still learning.
Uh but yeah, this is like the awesome moment where he's hanging out of
the jet and he's lifting the sub out of the water. Looks cool as
hell. And then Riptide remembers he's in the movie. Oh yeah, and
he's like, I don't get to do anything cool. I just get the
blow people. He gets to blow people. I did it. I honestly
wasn't planning that to be I said that naturally, and it hit me as
I was saying, You're like, oh, it doesn't sound good. So
he's like, all right, I'm gonna blow the X jet and he like
throws the tornado at the blackbird crashes on the beach, and the submarine also
crashes on the beach. Everyone crashes on the beach. What oh, what
is that SpongeBob reference? Stepping on the beach. I haven't watched SpongeBob since
it was airing the first time. You're a millennial, you're supposed to like
keep all the old SpongeBob knowledge like internally in you and then just randomly quote
it. Sometimes. I have some, just not all of it. I
have. The two just shows that you are not actually a millennial and you're
older than you say you are. I fucking knew it. I have the
two hours later I had those I haven't anyway. So yeah, they land
on the beach. Eric is gonna hunt for Shawl in the submarine. Yeah,
go get and Charles is like he's because he's in like this like shielded
room with like these mirrors and he's wearing the helmet. He's like, he's
in there somewhere I can't find him. Go in there. Stop whatever's he
doing, and I will turn off his brain. Uh. Havoc, Uh
you got. Havoc and Beast start fighting as az Ol. They're teleporting everywhere.
I do like when Beast puts the claws at his azers, like,
all right, you're gonna have the teleport is a safety or you die too.
Uh So yeah, they they fight a little bit. Havoc's machine gets
destroyed so he can't like focus his power. Angel Salvador shows up spitting stuff
she should really be putting on, like some kind of armor. I don't
think she needs to be wearing the stripper suit anymore. What the hell?
Whatever? I mean, it looks good, don't get me wrong. I
like Zoe Kravitz. I like her in the outphant, but I'm like,
hey, he should probably be wearing something a little bit. There's guns and
stuff around. Yeah, are you immune into your own fire? What if
you shoot fire and someone knocks it back and you're gonna get all burnt and
shit. So this is all over the place. It's constantly inner cutting,
and meanwhile Mystique's like, I want to join in the fight. Charles like,
no, watch that door. And also Moyra is there being completely useless.
She's there. She's there because she's CIA lady. So yeah, Shaul
is trying to recruit Eric. Eric gets into the room and he's like,
come on, be my guy, and then he throws Eric, which makes
a crack in the window, and suddenly Charles like, wait, keep doing
that. I'm almost in there. Meanwhile, Havoc takes out angel I like
a Mystique tricks as Azel. Oh by the way, Riptie got taken out
pretty quick. I think Havoc just blasted him and that was like the end
of rip time. So yeah, she pretends to be uh Sebastian, but
she has the helmet on him, Like does she know what the helmet look
like? Whatever was Charles able to see the helmet through them and try.
I think it was just a continuity what I mean, Charles's probably gonna be
like this is what it looks like, transform into that. Uh say,
they trick him, they take him out. Now, this is awesome,
This is awesome. Uh. Eric is able to get the upper hand on
him. He's broken enough of the mirrors. He gets the cable to take
the helmet off, and Charles is able to freeze him. But I guess
because he's got all that nuclear energy and he's like I can't hold him for
a long. Yeah, you gotta like you gotta like stop him right now,
but don't kill him because you'll be a bad guy. What else was
he gonna do? Like, I don't understand Charles, Like, Charles,
he is a nuclear bomb right now? What else was Magneto's for whatever,
it's gonna go somewhere. He's gonna put that energy somewhere. You're not gonna
be able to take him in. So yeah, I like at this point
he's like, Hey, Seawl, You're absolutely right. All the humans hate
us and we need to dominate over them because they will never accept us.
And you're one hundred percent around. I agree with everything you said, but
and you killed my mother, killed my mom. Shouldn't kill my mom.
If you didn't kill the mom, you would have had a brand new weapon
right there saying uh. And I do like the callback to the coin.
He's like, I'm gonna count I love that he kept it just to kill
him with it. It's so good, And I'm gonna move this coin.
I like. I like Charles has to keep him frozen, like do anything,
and it's not a hack the movies episode and Eric put on the helmet
so Charles couldn't funk with him, which was fine. Uh, but yeah,
yeah, I like the whole scene where the coin goes in his head
and it keeps cutting back and forth to char it moving. Yeah, I
would assume he feels it because like, yeah, because he's in lets his
face, his head, and in my mind, I'm like, well,
where did all that energy go? Shouldn't he just blow up at that point?
Mm hmmm. I guess that's not how it works. So yeah,
that scene is he needs to unleash it himself somehow whatever. But yeah,
then it's like the coin is all bloody and it lands on the thing.
It was cool. As ship. That scene was so even when he and
exits the submarine, he's like everything, Oh yeah, it's like the first
time sneak again it he's like so yeah. He comes out and he's like,
hey, uh, we're gonna team up. We're gonna stop fighting the
real enemies out there. And he's kind of right because then the Americans are
Russian, Hey, hey, we can just Shriker's dad is just like,
hey, if we just bombed the beach, now we can kill all of
them. And someone should say the guy who can move metal, who we
all just saw move metal, I don't think these rockets are gonna work.
We should rethink this. But instead no one says that. Again, they
weren't thinking really clearly. This was a year after the Bay of Pigs.
Also, Americans are dumb. Wow you heard me. Those Russians should have
kept them in. All the rockets go off, because again none of these
people called the war room and said, no, that guy can control metal,
this won't work, we should rethink this. In staid, they're like,
shoot them all, and the Russians sa shoot them all. The Russians
should have been like, after you, America, and then they should have
not shot it and be like what are you doing? Oh? Can you
believe they tried to shoot you? Guy who controls metals? Take him out?
Wasn't Roseburne's character like trying to like Hall to like we have an agent
on there. She's a good agent. They're like, nah, a lady,
get her out. The whole movie is then being like why is a
lady an age? Yeah, he stops all the rockets, shows off his
power and like would that be enough demonstration? No? No, He's like,
I am an asshole. I need to turn this around and kill all
of them to death. Uh. And then apparently no one else tries to
stop Magneto except for Charles. That's a good scene though, yeah, where
he's like because he's like tackling and like trying to get it tackling him,
and I really think be should have joined him on the fight. He's like,
hey, Charles, you're not as strong as like just beat the show.
Everybody should Like somebody's trying to pull like Charles off of like Magneto,
and then Magneto is like trying to go, but then someone's trying to like
hold his hand down or something like. There could have been everybody involved but
now it's cool. Every time he fights the rockets start to fall and then
they pick up and all that. Uh but yeah, then we're a start
shooting him and he deflex the bullet hits Charles Spine. Didn't we talk about
this? Were we like both like yeah, we're like really in this movie,
like you had to do it? I think we literally both went it
felt forced. It don't really for I don't know why. Like I mean,
I guess if you're gonna like do like the whole like them splitting friends,
that is a good moment to have it. But like it just felt
really forced, And prequel stuff usually feels forced, like they have to connect
things. So I'm like, okay, Like I would have been fine if
that happened like in another moat. Yeah, because yeah, there's there's like
flashbacks of him early on having legs, being able to do all this stuff.
Say, I get shot in the spine, the rockets go down.
I like that he's about to kill Boyer. It's like it's your fault.
He's like, nah, no, no, Eric, it's kind of your
fault. It's like, you're right, you could like that way not people.
Yeah, And he's like okay, well, I'm leaving, I'm taking
my team with me. Just standing there, just go to him or something.
Why are you just standing there? Like that's like your brother. And
then Charles is like, you can go with Eric. She's like, I
thought you said you want to read my mind. He's like, yeah,
but I know. And that's a good moment where he's like, hey,
I don't agree, but I'm gonna let you make your own DECI And what
she should say is like, I will eventually team up with Eric, but
I want to make sure you're okay because you're dying on a beach in Cuba,
even dying well kind of. And then Moyer is like, we'll get
you. She's like, we'll take you to a doctor. I'm like where.
I don't think America or Russia can pass that line to pick you up.
Cuba's not going to take you in. How did they get home,
Swim because the teleporter was with the bad guys. He left with the bank
somehow at home somehow, somehow. Then you know, but yeah, I
like how they like they wait a little bit and he's like, I can't
feel my legs. I can't feel my legs. I'm professor x I can't
feel my legs. I'm Professor Ax from the X Men movie. He says
that that was weird based on the comics Patrick Stewart played me. I was
like, that's really on the nose. And then Charles erases Moyer's mind with
a kiss, and yes, this is produced by Richard Donner's wife. Who
else Richard Donner did? Ran two don't forget. He also makes a joke
about, oh, it's next I lose my hair, and it's just like
he's like, I'll be going bald. But they already made a hair joke.
The first hair joke was fine. This one was all right, we
get it, Yeah, we get it. I'm still man in a pocket,
so we need origin frow he lost his hair. I'm like, maybe
he just lost his hair genetics. Look at Patrick Stewart in Dune in nineteen
eighty four. He didn't have a lot of hair, and he continued to
lose hair. But yeah, he erases her mind so she won't tell anyone
where they are. Yep, but she was kind of mean to her.
It kind of hurts her professionally, Yeah, because like this is why ladies
can't be in this blah blah, blah kiss and everybody's like, oh,
Charles, you're setting ladies back. Okay, what an asshole? So yeah,
h By the way, she was like, I will never tell him.
He's like, I know you won't because I'm gonna raise your mind.
I'm like, well that's kind of unethical. You didn't trust her a little
bit. Anyway. Oh that wasn't his real girlfriend. His boyfriend left,
so I guess. So yeah, I guess He's like, yeah, yeah,
I am, I'm gonna kiss you. I'm totally straight. You see
this, guys, I kissed her. Yeah, No one's around, like,
who is she talking to? I kissed her? And then we'll see
professor See. I know they're a little gang in the movies, Professor X
of the comics. In the cartoon, he's getting on with everyone. He's
like, he's I rewatched the cartoon. I'm like, he's got like five
ex lovers. One of them is an alien lady. He got around.
For a guy who's not very mobile, he got around. He's got the
risk. We're a bald paraplegic. He knows what to do, you can
get it. He gets inside those girls heads literally. Probably, so the
meeting where they're yelling at and were for having lady brains. Gets interrupted by
a big explosion and they're like, what's that sound, And it turns out
Emma Frost is being freed by Magneto. Yeah, we haven't got along,
but he's like, I think you'll think you'll like to join us. I
need a psychic on my team, my team of mystique, Angel, the
other Angel, not that Angel. Also, I think Gina Crano's name was
Angel and Deadpool also I think so and Zasil spoiler, these two are gonna
bone and have night Crawler, except a new comic is gonna wreck on that.
But in the movie universe, that's gonna happen. Uh, So,
join my team and we'll go on so many adventures and definitely most of you
won't get killed between films. And she's like, I'm in, let's do
it. And then we see the comic accurate Magneto it is. He added
the little devil horns the red and purple, and then he doesn't wear that
in the next one. Yeah, Magneto to be very has like a reddish
suit in the next one, but it doesn't look like this. Yeah,
uh yeah, And then it ends yep, and it was fine, fun.
What do you think revisiting this? I liked it again. I watched
this even before you asked me to come talk about it, So it was
just like a random I'm gonna move to watch some type of movie, and
I'm like, you know what, X Men first class like, it's fun.
It's I'm trying to don't really have to like pay attention, pay attention
like it's funny. I'm trying to think, not counting dead Pool, Wolverine,
New Mutants, not counting the spinoffs like mainline X movies. It's probably
my fourth favorite. Okay, yeah, obviously the X two, obviously X
Men one. I still really like Days of Future Past is really great.
You no, I think, yeah, same, same, same. I
mean this Future Pass is a little messy trying to Yeah no, but I
mean it's it's kind of messy trying to marry this new continuity with the previous
trilogy continuity. It's fine. Yeah, yeah, it's like the fourth best
one maybe and then yeah, uh it's fine. It's it's gave us James
backvoy Michael Fassbender. We got a few good movies out of them. Uh.
Put Jennifer Lawrence on the map, I mean did, but yeah,
yeah, more put in a more mainstream thing. We're more Eyes and Warner.
It took him forever to bring Nightcrawler back, and when he was he
was lame. So seeing his evil dad was kind of fun to fill in
that gap. Uh yeah, it was a good time. And then I
think they're going to reboot X Men again soon to fit into the MCU.
I'm I'm assuming Deadpool will set that up most likely. Yes, I don't
know how they're gonna do it. I know they've slowly started introducing mutants into
the MCU. Whatever happened to that one show, wasn't it? Uh?
In Humans? Yeah, well, it got canceled because it was terrible.
However, the guy who played back black Bolt in that ended up in Doctor
Strange Show was black Bolt, but a comic accurate black Bolt. Did you
see Doctor Strange Show? Yeah, yeah, same actor because it was a
multiverse. Yeah. Uh yeah. So they've sprinkled X Men, so they
had the Professor X looking comic accurate in that film and then they killed them.
M yeah, I know. Apparently the Miss Marvel Show introduces a mutant
but oh yeah, yeah, I can't confirm, because why the fuck would
I watch Miss Marr. I watched up until the last episode, and I
just never got around to watching it again. I don't had Disney Plus anymore,
so I didn't even start it. And I know the Mark bad,
I know the Marvels, uh Miss Marvel and either but you've seen the spoiler
right. She ends up in an alternate universe and Kelsey Grammer is Beast again
but he's CGI now but it looks like the movie X Men, so they're
not really sure how they're doing X Men. I think Deadpool is going to
be the one to maybe rewrite time to make it like they've already been there.
But no, So the MCU didn't have inhumans uh so, or no,
they didn't have mutants because Fox had it. This is before Disney got
it. So they were really pushing in humans to the point where the Marvel
comics were starting to kill off X Men characters and make the inhuman. So
in humans are kind of the same thing, although they were made by the
Cree the Aliens like experimented. So the Ages of Shield show set up why
there were so many inhumans. Uh so, they're inhumans on Earth. The
inhuman show were about the ones who live on the Moon coming to Earth,
and that was like a whole thing. I never even watched it. I
heard it was garbage. They screwed up by making the premiere like an iMac
special, like months before it aired, and everyone went and saw it.
We're like, this was garbage. So for like a month or so,
everyone's like, don't watch the show. It sucks, And then no one
watched the show. So now that now that Fox got bought out by Disney,
they're now being like, oh yeah, in Humans they're still around.
Throw them out of the way. You insert here and dead Bool's gonna make
it seem like they've always been here. So we'll see what the future holds
for this. But I mean, this was a fun prequel reboot sort of
thing. I like it. It started the decade series where each film was
a new decade. Didn't really make sense. Oh yeah, it didn't make
sense by the time in Dark Phoenix, they're like, wow, they haven't
aged much. Uh, but yeah, that's X Men first class an exciting
What did we say? It was an exciting reboot? Exciting reboot, Johanna,

I'm trying to stream, but life stuff is like in the way.
