Speaker 1: Hi everyone, Tony from Hack the Movies here, and today
we're talking.
Speaker 2: About the last official Fox.
Speaker 1: X Men like the Team movie today on Hack the Movies.
And was this the biggest disappointment of all time? Was
it worse than the last disappointment from the same people.
Let's find out today on Hack the Movies. Hello, hello everyone.
Speaker 2: Hello, Crystal, Hello Tony, Hello, Hello, Ming Chin. Yeah, hello everybody.
Speaker 3: Hello, Finally I'm here. I've watched for years, oh streaming
of being on the set.
Speaker 2: And now here I own.
Speaker 1: You would think you wouldn't have to do this, but
real quick, can you properly introduce yourself?
Speaker 4: Yeah, my name is Ing Chun.
Speaker 3: You might know me for a little TV show, Go
Comic book Men, frequent collaborator with the filmmaker Kevin Smith.
Throw me in I think three or four movies. Uh,
you know, small scenes but memorable in my mind. Yes,
And uh, now, if you ever hit any comic con,
I've hit like all of them, so you haven't seen me.
Speaker 4: I probably come coming to a town near you. But
now you know know that matters. I'm gonna Hack the
Movies movie.
Speaker 2: Well, this is the top.
Speaker 1: I learned that this is the top because when we
had jode A Rose on you know big comedians.
Speaker 5: Been on Rogan, was my friend or whatever whatever?
Speaker 2: Big big been on Rogan multiple times.
Speaker 1: I scheduled the episode, and my fans are just like,
who's this Joe guy? I can't wait to see what
Tony's new friend is doing. Like, he's way more popular.
Speaker 5: He's now on kill Tony Like, come on, how do
you like?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 2: I feel weird?
Speaker 1: Be like, hey, more popular guy, can you introduce yourself
to my fans?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got his own bar.
Speaker 2: Guy, And also joining us is Gil Helloa.
Speaker 6: This is I'm very excited to be this is a
huge comic. But remember that livestream we did with a
nostalgia critic and Adam called in and he's like, I'm
such a big fan. That's gonna be me today.
Speaker 1: Adam called him while he was movie you have nothing
to contribute. He just called in to be like I'm
a huge fan.
Speaker 2: I'm like, thanks, Adam, Adam loving anything.
Speaker 5: I want to see that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we gotta talk about an evil redhead who
wants to make everyone miserable and cause sadness throughout the universe.
And we also have to talk about X Men Dark Phoenix, Crystal,
We'll get to you at some point. We got to
talk about X Men Dark Phoenix jokes I would have
made in the Last Stand episode if you didn't bail
out at the last minute.
Speaker 5: I don't remember bailing out.
Speaker 2: You did, I don't remember. Yes, I made up a
really funny story about how you died in a how
I die in every episode?
Speaker 1: So X Men Dark fan or actually it was just
Dark Phoenix in America through the X Men on Disney.
Plus they have since added X Men back to it. Yeah,
I don't know who they were trying to fool with that.
That was a weird decision behind that.
Speaker 6: Sure, right before it came out, they're like, are we
sure we want to put this out without like telling
people this is an X Men movie.
Speaker 1: This was made at the like weird time where like
Disney was looming over, like it was gonna happen, but
it hadn't happened yet.
Speaker 2: So that was like like.
Speaker 3: When you know you're gonna get fired, Like, do you
work as hard? Yeah, don't you know you're on your
way out so you can kind of half out it. Yeah,
that's how I felt.
Speaker 2: That's how it felt.
Speaker 1: But like it's weird because this is Simon Kimberg who
wrote a bunch of them, including The Last Stand, But
apparently with Last Dan they were kind of like forced
by the studio to work in the Gifted storyline in
addition to the Dark vis And even then Simon Kimmerg
and Zach Ben, who didn't come back for this, even
they were like, we also were let down by that,
Like that shouldn't have been a thing. It should have
just been the Dark Phoenix storyline. Yeah, so he really
really wanted to do that story again. He had the
opportunity because they rebooted it with First Class. They rewrote
the timeline and everything. He did a great job with
Days of Future Past, and then he wrote Apocalypse that
also might have hurt this movie. Apocalypse was rough. Yeah,
that should have been like a way bigger deal. And
then that movie came out. Everyone was like, this kind
of sucks. Why is why is Apocalypse so small?
Speaker 2: Maybe the tubes on him?
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe they needed Apocalypse to be better, so they
made a.
Speaker 6: Worse movie by comparison.
Speaker 7: I'm so excited. Wow, that was so bad. I think
the last movie was actually good.
Speaker 6: It's a cotton.
Speaker 4: They on purpose.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, no, again, they really wanted to try. Well,
the Apocalypse looks terrible. By the way, when I reviewed
it last year, I'm like, man, that is like green
screened the movie and it is awful. I appreciate this
one tried to look like a movie.
Speaker 2: It looks looked like a movie, looked like a movie.
Speaker 5: It looked like a movie, like a movie. Is is
it cake?
Speaker 6: Sophie Turner iteration of Jean Gray was also introduced in Apocalypse.
Speaker 1: Right, yes, Scenix force already she got all fiery at
the end. You're like, wait, so it's like, okay, they're
doing they did with last Stammer.
Speaker 2: It was always in her.
Speaker 1: And then I saw the trailer for this movie and
I see the space player and I'm like, doesn't she
already have it?
Speaker 2: What is this new thing?
Speaker 6: But they're like nobody saw that movie to Okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no one's gonna remember that.
Speaker 1: And yeah, but I'm guessing a lot of the cast
liked Simon Kimber because a lot of their contracts were done,
Like I think mclvoy and Fastbender, I think they were done.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: He pretty much convinced them all to come back, and
Jennifer Lawrence pushed for him to be the director. So
I guess she had a good working experience with again,
X Men first Class. He also produced that he didn't
write it, but like that helped her career a lot.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And knowing all that, you think she would have tried
to act a little bit more in.
Speaker 6: The movie unless this was part of the scheme. She's like, look,
nobody cares what we do for this one. You can
direct it and I can just sleep walk through this
a big paycheck.
Speaker 2: They like her so much. Yeah, yeah, this movie had.
Speaker 3: You said the magic word those sleepwalk Yep, that was
the main word a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Yes, this movie had different iterations. They were gonna have
the hell Fire Club. Yes, I guess they forgot they
already did that. And then this was actually an idea
for X Men, the last Stand that they didn't do.
We're like Emma Frost, the White Queen was gonna manipulate
the Dark Phoenix, and I guess he forgot that. They
killed Emma Frost in between movies and we literally see
her corpse in like a Morgue photo in Days of
Future Past. So they were like, all right, well we're
not gonna do that. Let's change it.
Speaker 2: To scrolls, but they're not the Well, They're not that well.
Speaker 1: It was a weird thing where like Scrolls also counted
as X Men characters.
Speaker 2: I think kind of like.
Speaker 1: Quicksilver, we had two quick Silvers because oh he's also
like an Avenger and an X Men.
Speaker 2: That's why we got too. And then I think.
Speaker 1: They were gonna do Scrolls, and I assumed they knew
Captain Marvel was coming out, so they might have switched
the alien race. But then it was gonna be the Well,
but it was gonna be uh, what is Lilandra's race
of aliens? The A, yeah, she are. I think it
was gonna be them, and I think that's who Jessica
Chestein signed on to play because, according to her, she
didn't know that her character's name was vuk or fuck
until she saw the movie. She had no idea who
she was playing. She literally was like, they kept changing
my character. I don't know who I am.
Speaker 6: Is a strong word, though, because that implies there was
some degree of performance or acting. Well.
Speaker 1: She was saving all her acting chops for it chapter two.
Speaker 7: That makay okay, I love how you have to save
your acting for just one movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, at multiples, yeah, and then like famously, they reshot
the whole third act of this, uh.
Speaker 2: If you could still see it in some of the trailers.
Speaker 1: So apparently it was gonna end with her using the
full Phoenix for us fighting like aliens and ships in
space and me wile the Dabari we're gonna be uh
taking over like the United Nations. The X Men are
fighting them on the ground, and then they cut all
of that. The rumor was that it was too close
to Captain Marvel, but apparently that's not true. However, that
is literally like the end of Captain Marvel, she does
fight him in space. So I think it was this coincidence,
But I think he just wanted to change. I think
he said something like he saw like Captain America Civil
War and how there was like a bigger battle and
then like a smaller battle that was more meaningful, and
he wanted to do that instead, so they reshot the
entire third act.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I wish she didn't see that. Yeah, it would
be so nice if he never saw that.
Speaker 1: And uh, yeah, they shout this out and it bombed horrifically,
but at that point we all knew that it was done.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, do you think general audiences know that though,
like I know, we're all plugged in. Yes, my parents aren't, like, well,
they're wrapping up the X Men universe, so.
Speaker 2: Who don't know about this?
Speaker 1: Like like my mom like watch in the X Men
movies with me, but even I think when I showed
her Apocalypse, she's like, yeah, yeah, I think like general
has just watching Apocalypse.
Speaker 2: And they went now onces the next Deadpool come out?
Speaker 6: Yeah, And then it wasn't we know that this universe
is folding up. It was more the last one sucked.
Speaker 1: Yeah, excited for this one. Yeah, it came out and
it like flopped spectacularly.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: This was also when they were still trying to make
new Mules, which we'll talk about at some point, which
I think started like before this and didn't come out
after they kept pushing both of them.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I feel like it took like five years
for that movie.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really really a shit show. And uh,
we should just go through the movie. But first, when
did you first see this?
Speaker 5: It's the same answer every time. I have no idea.
I have a horrible memory of remembering when I saw movies.
But it's like the most.
Speaker 1: Important Evil Ginger in history getting her second shot at
a film.
Speaker 5: There are so many more evil Gingers out there.
Speaker 1: Oh yea, we forgot to mention the reason we're doing
this Jeene Gray is Gene Gray's pretty much coming back.
Speaker 2: Did you know this?
Speaker 1: The Spider Man Brand New Day, It's like pretty obvious
that it's Geen Gray, because if it's not, it's gonna
be fucking annoying.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's yeah, it's gonna be such a better Jinger. Well,
I hope, so I like.
Speaker 1: See, I think, but we'll see what happens. But we're
doing this because we think she's coming back. And then
me and Gil also have done the Andrew Garfield Spider Man's.
Speaker 2: Because I forgot to do them years ago. When did
you first see Dark Phoenix?
Speaker 4: I didn't see in the theater.
Speaker 3: I think I saw Apocalypse, and you know, it was
so bad that I was like, all right, I didn't
rush back for Dark Phoenix. I knew it was vastly
changed from the comic book as well, so was it running?
And then I noticed I think I was on a flight,
you know, it was on the in screen entertainment.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, I'll watch it. So I watched it on
a little whatever seven inch screen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's all you needed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm kind of glad I watched on a plane
instead of spending whatever fifteen bucks on it in the theater.
It was h Yeah, although upon rewatch for this I
did like it better on the rewatch.
Speaker 7: Yes, No, really, mine was the opposite. Really, I think
because I saw it.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I was like, I think it's because there was so
much hate and I went in gonna hate it, and
I was like, all right.
Speaker 5: It was okay, like it was a movie.
Speaker 4: It looked good and called that prejudice.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And then I watched it again last night and
I fell asleep during the fight.
Speaker 5: And I was like, oh, yeah, I guess that's.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: It was that bad because I remember looking at it.
I was like, how is there still like a half
hour left of this? I trying to stay awake.
Speaker 5: I'm like nope.
Speaker 7: All of a sudden, another X Men movie came on.
I woke up to like a good movie, and I.
Speaker 5: Was like, I can't be watching this.
Speaker 2: Lady Destro's Hayley Perry doing Gil. How did you feel
about Dark When did you first see it?
Speaker 6: I first saw it two years ago before the New
Deadpool came out, and.
Speaker 2: I only when who saw this in theater.
Speaker 6: I had completely after Apocalypse, like you, I don't think
I saw Apocalypse in theaters. I eventually watched it, but
that one was so bad that when this came out,
I was like, I'm not even gonna bother. But before
the new Deadpool movie, I did a timeline on my
channel going through all the X Men movies. So finally
I had no choice. I had to watch it, and
I wasn't that big a fan of it. I think
what's remarkable is that when it came out, the context
was that this universe is dying, and so it felt
kind of depressing to watch it because they're like, we
know this isn't going anywhere, but they've bottled up that feeling.
So even watching it now years later, totally out of context,
you can still feel it because you can see all
the actors don't want to be there, you can see
the it's like the movie is not interested in its
own story, and so it just feels really sad to watch.
Speaker 2: It's a bummer.
Speaker 1: Well, I saw it in theaters because because I was
expecting it was funny. I was gonna say trade wreck.
I technically, do get a trade wreck in.
Speaker 2: This movie, But I thought the movie, yes you do.
Speaker 1: I thought the movie was gonna be an even bigger
train wreck than it was that I remember when it happened.
Speaker 2: I'm like, it was just kind of.
Speaker 5: Mad, exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was expecting.
Speaker 1: I was expecting X Men Origins Wolverine level shit, and
I didn't get that.
Speaker 2: It was just boring.
Speaker 5: It's exactly what it is, boring.
Speaker 6: But that's the only cavea I would give to that
is we recently reviewed Amazing Spider Man and we use
the exact same terminology. It's bland. It's boring. But then
if you watch this movie, I think we need some
new words because this is so much worse Amazing Spider Man.
To call both of them bland, I think it is unfair.
Speaker 2: Well, let's let's go through it.
Speaker 1: It opens up with a gene monologuing about fate and
evolution or something.
Speaker 2: I tuned out right away.
Speaker 5: Do you get the typical X Men opening right?
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 1: They got Hans Zimmer to do the music on this,
but he doesn't use any of the John Ottman theme.
Speaker 7: Hans Zimmer, though his music, was the best part of
the whole movie. Good, huge live concert and everything.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I you need like the X Men
two Day's Future Pass Apocalypsey John Ottman's score, that's like
the big one. The first score was good in the
first movie, but like that X scores so good.
Speaker 5: But the music was the best part of the whole movie.
Speaker 2: He for some reason put a lot of effort into it.
Speaker 5: I don't know why, because he's he's genius.
Speaker 4: You got a large prot of that two hundred million
dollar budget.
Speaker 6: Appraising someone for doing their job. He got paid and
he delivered music.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: Look, Hon Zimmer doesn't always knock it out of the park,
like he did great with the Batman trilogy and then
Batman Superhand, Like you have to come up with a
new Batman theme. He's like, I don't know, don doun
Like mad Affleck's Batman theme was the worst because it's like,
I don't know, and can't I just recycle it now
it's a different Batman.
Speaker 7: Don don dun.
Speaker 2: Wonder that was good?
Speaker 4: Okay that that was one of the best ones.
Speaker 1: And even though I don't like those movies, the Man
of Steel score is great. The rest of the movie's
trash cuts to the Snyder fans in the comics, you know,
but the.
Speaker 2: Man of Steel score is phenomenous.
Speaker 6: Okay, Snyder us is coming back, coming back day now
anything now?
Speaker 1: But yeah, speaking of music, Jeane doesn't like the music
in her parents car, and then she like tell a
kinetically switches the station. Yeah, and they're all making a
big deal about it. And then she's starting to hear voices.
I'm guessing that's just people around her. She's like listening
to their thoughts, I guess, Or is that someone trying
to talk to her directly? I never really understood what
was happening there, No.
Speaker 7: Because if she was reading her parents' thoughts, it wouldn't
be so much and she would also know what the
fuck they were thinking talking about, like oh, when you're
older and driving.
Speaker 1: That's why I thought, like, maybe is there like something
trying to talk to her, but is reaching out reaching
out to her?
Speaker 4: Yeah that that song would have been playing in the.
Speaker 1: Head Yeah, but yeah, she says, quiet and this accidentally
makes her mom fall asleep at the wheel.
Speaker 5: I never got that. Why Why so they.
Speaker 1: Could have a cool car crash. This car crash, cool
like in camera car crash. Thought that was cool, and
I did like when she's like shielding herself from all
the degree. I thought that was the Yeah, there's like
I said, there's like little, tiny good moments like that
would have been a cool and a good movie. So yeah,
her mom is fucking dead. Well, both her parents are
dead wink. And then she meets a professor Xavier. This
is probably the seventies because he still has his.
Speaker 6: Long nineteen seventy five, ninety seventy five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is he walking in this or it's back in
the wheelchair?
Speaker 1: Okay, uh, because yeah, at that point he stopped taking me.
Speaker 6: He doesn't walk until later in this movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, walks, not even hobble. But he's like, hey, look,
I'm gonna help you use your gift for good, basically
the same thing we've always seen.
Speaker 7: I do love the analogy, okay, the analogy with the
pen like, I am giving you a gift and you
can do exact.
Speaker 5: It's a gift where I could either stab someone in
the eye or.
Speaker 7: I can write I would choose to stab someone in
the eye with I was like, oh, hen's like headstains.
Speaker 6: There's a reason I put ming in between us next
to her.
Speaker 2: So then we cut to the nineties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the nineties Vanilla Ice, other things, Nirvana, what are
other nineties things?
Speaker 4: Douge mean Ninja, Turtles, car the live action movie.
Speaker 5: Right, the animated X Men very oh yeah good, the
best X Men of all of the same thing, Like
it's weird.
Speaker 7: The animated versions of X Men and the animated version
of Batman somehow are better than any.
Speaker 1: X Men ninety seven Season two is either out or
coming out, depending on my life.
Speaker 4: First whenever this comes down.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, so it's probably out by time that's enjoyed.
Uh yes, God, that's that's so good. I'm so good.
I'm hoping it was good.
Speaker 7: Fucking Jeane Gray, and that is what is Jean Gray.
Jean Gray like Phoenix, like that's her.
Speaker 1: X Men ninety seven was so sad when Wolverine got
a backup Gene. I'm like, finally that she died. He's like,
I have a replacement backup jeans. So it's not Geena Getty.
Speaker 4: Let's work's work.
Speaker 1: We see a rocket blasting off into space and astronauts
get trapped, so the President hits up the X Men
because I'm guessing humanity was like, hey, new In's thank
you for saving us from that blue guy who I
think was also a mutant. But I guess the X
Men did a good enough job that they're like, all right,
all is forgiven. Thanks for helping the world, even though
you also participate in destroy like they really Magneto should
be murdered. He did so much damage in Apocalypse. He
was lifting up metal from the earth.
Speaker 2: It was a problem.
Speaker 7: It's the only movie where America or the world actually
likes the X Men, or at least like outwardly shows
and celebrates them.
Speaker 5: I feel like in.
Speaker 2: The movies, I think.
Speaker 5: So yeah, they're hated for everything else, and they're always
like compared.
Speaker 1: In the in the Deadpool movies, I think a Deadpool too.
They show up to the thing and the news is like, oh,
a member of the X Men are here. Because the
movies they're usually kind of like secret under the radar,
it's like public. This is the first time in the
movies everyone's like, we like X.
Speaker 5: Men now like the Avengers almost.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And that's one thing I did like, especially for
the First Class series of movies, because each one has
like a ten year time skip, and so it's nice
to see the timeskip. Actually, by the way, by the way.
Speaker 2: Ten year time skip.
Speaker 1: When you look at James mcboy Michael Fassbender, remember that
in eight or nine years they.
Speaker 2: Will look like Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.
Speaker 6: And how much better would this movie be if, like
every couple of scenes you just see him age a
little bit more and by the end of Patrick Stewart.
Speaker 5: Was there. Yeah, there's no like nine.
Speaker 2: Like the seventies, the sixties and seventies.
Speaker 1: Fine, a little bit of wiggle room in the eighties,
but we're in the nineties now, Like you guys should
not something else you.
Speaker 6: Didn't have to do the time skip. Yeah, if you
want to set it like in the nineties and really
embrace the aesthetic of that time period, but it barely does.
I mean, part of it's like space race or whatever,
but like we were going to space before the nineties,
and their technology in these movies is always further ahead
than our own anyway. Yeah, is it just.
Speaker 5: Cheaper to film in the nineties than like eighties?
Speaker 4: Guess it doesn't look cars and change the time period.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's at least nice to see that change
in status quot where they're getting along with the government.
They don't do a whole lot with it. In this movie.
But it's cool to say, but.
Speaker 1: Now, remember the end of Apocalypse, we finally got their
comic accurate suits, and everyone's like, finally we're gonna see
the X Men and their classic suits. And then they
change the costumes for this which are also comic accurate.
They are from what was the comic run that those.
Speaker 2: The big yellow X was from?
Speaker 6: Comic book Man.
Speaker 2: Comic book Man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 6: God, damn it, hold on, hold on, we just move
our lips then you can dub it.
Speaker 1: H But now they have their new X Men uniforms
that are clearly from the comic we all know, the
New X Men by Grant Morrison. We all knew that,
we all knew that you were seeing. You were quiet
because you were seeing if we yes, of course.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that they're doing like an X Men
style outfit they also did in the first class, but
it's like what the nineties outphants and like you teased it,
can you just give us the night?
Speaker 6: They didn't waste it on this movie, though, if they're
gonna hold out, I think Deadpool and Wolverine was a
much better view of like the true Wolverine outfit, for example.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but do we know why they just didn't go
with it? Is there anything?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 2: I think because I think there was.
Speaker 1: This is does seem like a reaction to Apocalypse, where
Apocalypse was like cartooning and over the top and all
over the place, and they're like, how about this one's restrained.
It's like the girl's supposed to turn into a firebird.
I don't think we need restrained in this.
Speaker 4: Let's minimalism.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go minimalist. Come on. I do like the
original Trilogy movie suits.
Speaker 1: Famously, I wore one at too many games, and on
the show, I made the original Wolverine outfit. I looked
just like him. People people thought that Wolverine that Hugh Jackman.
Speaker 2: Was on the show. It was crazy. It was crazy.
Speaker 6: He's like, wait that you're not Hugh Jackman. Why come
all the way down?
Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm not Hugh jack What oh man?
Speaker 5: That's a lot nicer.
Speaker 2: Uh Yeah.
Speaker 1: So they're like, okay, we uh, we're all suiting up
the X Men. Mystique is like, all right, I'm gonna
tell you guys how we're gonna do the space mission
because I know a lot about it. Me who can
turn into other people. It's like, how the fuck does
this power help in this situation? Like, hey, Mistique, why
don't you just stay home? You're useless in this scenario.
And Jennifer Lawrence could not look more bored in this movie.
Speaker 6: Everything's going to be fine. We're going to go to space.
Don't worry about it.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: If you're going to space, you should never assume everything's
gonna be fine.
Speaker 4: Charles, there was a risky move.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Beasts is like, I don't know far new rockets
can do it, but we'll go. We'll go for it.
But yeah, they just go right in space. This does
feel kind of cartoon. This is why the movie should
have been more cartoon. This does feel like, hey, X Men,
get in the rocket, We're going to space to do
space stuff. It's kind of weird to do it in
this like more toned down, realistic universe.
Speaker 6: Like it felt really weird that like we just faced
like a potential apocalypse a few years ago, all the
crazy stuff he X Men have been through, and now
it's like we need to rescue two astronauts and it's
like the most morose we've ever seen them, and everything
is so tense. And like it felt a little like
tonal whiplash. Very weird to me. Bye.
Speaker 1: By the way, Apocalypse threw all the nukes on Earth
into orbit, and it's like who brought them back down?
That's a big bad because like when they go to space,
I'm like, I don't see a single nuclear warhead up there,
and there should be hundred.
Speaker 6: Magneto he just yeah, I don't like that Magneto was
able to get all the world's cucular ourse.
Speaker 1: That was like a big thing, Like you have to
address that. They're like, ignore, it never happened. But yeah,
they get them into space. The rocket is spinning like crazy.
Uh a Nightcrawler can't get in because he can't see
because at this.
Speaker 2: Point he needs to see where he's going. All right,
I forgot.
Speaker 1: Yes, they brought everyone back, and Storm and Nightcrawler are there.
Speaker 6: The whole movie.
Speaker 5: I just randomly appear in the ship the whole movie.
Speaker 1: You're gonna keep going like, yes, And also Nightcrawler and
Storm are there. They have nothing to do and they
have to keep coming up with fights for them to
do because they are just no story for a night.
Speaker 6: We'll get to it later. But Nightcrawler gets like a
five minute little arc at the way.
Speaker 5: Yes, ye, Storm is I think the worst person in that.
Speaker 2: She apparently was like depressed doing all of these you
can't tell. Yeah, and I like that actress too.
Speaker 6: Ye.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: If the main actors have nothing to do in this movie,
I don't know what the side actors are expecting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I like that Cyclobs like, don't worry, I'll
take care of it. I'm gonna shoot it with my laser.
My I'm sorry, optic blast. I'm gonna shoot it my
optic blast to stop it from spinning. I'm like, what
if that just.
Speaker 2: Made it work?
Speaker 6: It's psychlotics. Lasers are not the answer to everything.
Speaker 1: I remember, it's not a laser. It's a portal to
another dimension and I can cuss some force. But in
the movies it's become a laser. Yes, it's annoying because
like Brian Singer got it right the first time, and
then in the later movies he turned it into a laser.
It's like, no, but you know better, you know it's
not that.
Speaker 4: Ye blessings and they blow up yeah a laser.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, they get it to stop spinning. Nightcrawler
and Quicksilver Teleport there. They're not wearing space suits. By
the way, I guess there's air in the spaceship. But
the spaceship's falling apart, Like, why wouldn't you all be
in space?
Speaker 5: Cus doesn't wait is it quick?
Speaker 6: So wait?
Speaker 5: Who has the helmet on it?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Is he the only one?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: But I guess in this part of the ship the
oxygen is still working, and they're just okay, yeah, it's
top it's not. But they grab everyone except the commander
and then apparently storm her storm powers get her to
stop the solar flare that I guess it works for
space weather.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that that was something she could do.
But she's having trouble holding it.
Speaker 1: So they're like, okay, we're gonna teleport Jeane in there,
and she'll pull the ship together and grab the commander.
Speaker 7: And that's all they have to do is just grab
the commander. So why didn't you just go in, grab
and come back.
Speaker 5: It should have been quick enough to worry. She didn't
need to hold it because Gene needs.
Speaker 1: To get hit with the flare to get the Phoenix
force that she already has.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, And for whatever arbitrary reason they gave him
thirty seconds.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, and Professor X won't let them leave.
He's like, no, you gotta go get that person. And
I'm looking at like the crew and I'm like they
got like.
Speaker 2: Seven of them, Like one behind thought that bad.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the guy who wouldn't go into
space at first, be like, seems like a them problem.
Speaker 2: But I got up there, I'd be like I got
a couple.
Speaker 7: The cyclop absidentally like blew up that and he the
captain died, Like how did they know?
Speaker 1: I think of the rocket, he's just spinning and he
hits it with this blast and it just goes further.
Speaker 5: He in like a different thruster or something.
Speaker 6: I don't know where.
Speaker 1: I don't know where was when he shut them leaves
her out. They just have a thing that he sticks
his head.
Speaker 3: In asco Yeah, like.
Speaker 2: A Jane absorbs the entire solar flare.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: And they come home and they're treated as heroes and
no one goes quarantined her right now, everyone quarantined at quarantine.
The whole team put him in like a concrete bunker.
We have to study them. Something crazy happened up there.
Instead they're just like, yeah, go home, X. Men it's like, no,
that's like actually terrifying what happened. Yeah, but everyone loves them.
They're like, great, we all love the X Men. Mystique
screams at Professor x She's like, your egos getting in
the way. You love that the humans are being nice
to you, and she's kind of right.
Speaker 6: It would be nice, though, to see some of that,
like she says, like, oh, you're all over the magazine
covers and everything. Award later, Yeah, you see, like one
scene later he was like, I know, you guys call superheroes.
But after roughly twenty years of X Men movies where
Xavier is like the benevolent head of the X Men,
for him now to be taking a turn where you
start to question his leadership.
Speaker 2: This should have been like an earlier thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it should. It should have been something much
further developed, because like, that's an important change for the character.
But instead it's basically exposition from someone who doesn't want
to be on set.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that that scene is pretty bad. And this
is how you know you're watching a twenty nineteen movies.
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, is this your favorite line of
the entire movie?
Speaker 2: Tony?
Speaker 3: The women are always saving the men around here, you
might want to think about changing the name to X women.
Speaker 5: He was so cringey. Actually, what huh?
Speaker 2: How did you feel about that line?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 4: I hate to use the word woke. We're treading into wol.
Speaker 2: That is that.
Speaker 1: Was that was the height of it. We've come down
a little bit of that. Yeah, Like I was expecting
more of that in Supergirl and there's just like nothing
in it like that. But yeah, that line, even like
I know that was like one of those who are
like Hollywood's like, we're doing a good thing and this
will be celebrated. Yeah, And when it came out, even
like left of people are like, I was a little forced.
Speaker 6: Hasn't it? The complaint in Hollywood always been that men
are always saving women and they're always saving the day
and now even the playing field, and she's like, why
are we always saving the men around here?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: That line was so bad and they put it out
as a clip. You know what, they really shouldn't have
put it out as a clip ahead of time. I'm
pretty sure they put it out as a clip ahead
of time. Movies have sabotaged their whole like things doing that.
Speaker 2: Was it?
Speaker 1: Indiana Jones The one big clip they put out was
the girl being like I'm better than you, and it's like,
when you see the whole movie, it's not that bad,
Like why would you put that up? Because all the
guys who are angry already are like, we're not seeing
the new Indiana Jones, which you shouldn't see anyway because
he's an elderly dinosaur.
Speaker 2: But like I was, why are you sabotaging your movie
with this? It's so dumb.
Speaker 1: Beast has the one good idea where he's like, oh, yeah,
we should probably look at Jeane and figure out what's
going on. And he's like, oh, wow, you're totally healthy,
but your power got really stronger.
Speaker 6: Which is so vague. Out of here it is, yeah,
your power level is beyond It's like, what does that mean?
Speaker 2: I was no concerned about that.
Speaker 6: She just absorbed us. It's not we all know it's
not a solar flare like the X Men.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 6: She absorbed some sci fi cloud. And then she's like
I feel amazing, Okay, cool, get out of here, Like
you have any follow up questions, like no psychological panels,
Like when you say you feel amazing, like what do
you mean exactly what kind of thoughts are you having?
Speaker 1: Look that's you know, you tell the doctor you feel
amazing and they just let you go.
Speaker 2: Obviously. Is that how it?
Speaker 5: Actually? I think it is.
Speaker 6: Doctor.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let heroin right now. I feel amazing. Just
get out of here, buddy.
Speaker 4: I had a high free ROMs in the hospital for
a week.
Speaker 6: What the hell?
Speaker 7: Most of the time they just say you're fine and leave.
You could be having a physical stroke right there.
Speaker 2: And it's not even that.
Speaker 1: It's just no one is like curious, Like, no, scientists
aren't more curious or concerned.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so fucking weird.
Speaker 1: But he's like, all right, get out of here, the lady,
go hang out with your friends. Gene and Cyclops have
since started dating, and there's no wolverine around to ruin
this relationship.
Speaker 2: This is the first time I think we actually could
see Gene and Cyclops like be like a thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah that I like it. I did like the relationship
aspect of it.
Speaker 1: That wolverine like a bull in the corner waiting to
cut Cyclops.
Speaker 2: We don't have that in this movie.
Speaker 1: We finally got to see them be like a couple
pretty much. But they also had like, not a lot
of romance in the last movie. No, like it's just developing,
and now we're skipping to the romance.
Speaker 7: This is the whole one where the relationships should matter
the most, Like that is the whole point of the
saga where it shows the relationship of how important the
X Men stick together, which I get why you know
Raven is so concerned, but it's it should have been stronger,
where I was just like, you kind of get it,
but you don't feel that.
Speaker 1: It's a shame they fucked up the third movie because
we got to see their relationship at one in two,
so that would have been better. And then James Martsen's like,
I'm gonna be I'm gonna get cooked by Superman in
the different movie. It's like, why don't you just you're
already cooked in this movie. Just stay in this movie.
We want to see more of like that was you
kind of eat the Cyclops character, and I'm glad that
they did it for this, but we don't really care
about this gene in Psychlops relationship because we barely saw.
Speaker 2: Any of it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then the little we saw in terms of
development was from the third movie, which was such a
bad movie. Yeah, and like you're depending on us to
bring in that residual emotion of like we're bought into this,
this iteration of cyclops.
Speaker 2: And we're not. We're not. We're basically going on our memories.
Are you okay? How did it fall off?
Speaker 7: It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 2: The thing is, oh my god, I.
Speaker 6: Just fixed it.
Speaker 4: Now you're making love touching things, don't you? And then breaking?
Speaker 5: I love breaking? Okay, I break, I break.
Speaker 1: I think of everyone on the show. You've taken that
mic stand off.
Speaker 5: The mo are too long? Okay, it's apace.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, you'r geene great is breaking heart.
Speaker 2: Over the PA all right?
Speaker 1: So you know there's a lot going on in this movie.
New X Men team relationships, the Professor X with the President.
Speaker 2: This is a good time to have Space aliens come down.
Speaker 1: So Space Aliens come down and they are the Jabbari.
They wear scrolls. They got turned into Dabari and they
don't look like Dabari, which were like asparagus people. And yeah,
Jessica chest Age should have worn it a sparagus hat
the whole movie. But yeah, they in the comics, that's
the Phoenix destroyed their planet.
Speaker 2: Yes, and they're very upset about it.
Speaker 1: In this one, the Phoenix forced destroy rit their planet,
not the actual dark Phoenix, but yeah. They land outside
a a party being hosted by Jessica Chasteam with no
eyebrows or was she She was very her hair was
very white, and then she had.
Speaker 7: No how do we make her look somewhat weird, like
an alien but in human?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's weird, Like we wanted to look alien, but
an alien. Let's make her look like a weird person
and then an alien. Yeah, she goes u see what
her dog's up to, and they aliens basically kill the
entire party and take over.
Speaker 5: Like it was really long dog barking scene. I will
say it felt really long.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the Dabari looked dumb, and it's so funny
that like they spend a couple of minutes with the party.
First it was like, what's that dog barking for? I'm
gonna check on it. It's fine, don't buy the checking.
Why do we need any of this? Like if it's
so not a big deal, Like if you go to
the MCU. By a the time aliens showed up, we
already met thor and we found out about in Goact
to gods that are basically aliens. So MC, yes, when
aliens show up, it's not a big deal. But for
X Men, like that's that's new, Like there's extraterrestrials in
this world.
Speaker 1: They danced around it in Apocalypse because that big pyramid
thing that he got his powerful was supposed to be
and when he saw what I thought was the Phoenix force,
apocket was like, oh, all has been revealed, like implying
that it's a different cosmic thing that was like linked
to him.
Speaker 2: Then they changed it.
Speaker 6: So I don't know, but yeah, focus on like check
on the dog. Don't check on the dog. There's more
attention to that than like there are aliens that are
showing up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they kind of look like the aliens from Signs right, Yeah,
actually children, that's what the That's what I thought.
Speaker 4: They looked like.
Speaker 1: Ming on your way out if you want to go
to new Town, it's ten minutes away the record store
from Signs.
Speaker 4: Well, I forgot night country.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, we are in a night country.
Speaker 1: So yeah, cut to the kids partying outside the X
mansion and Dazzler's there.
Speaker 2: Dazzler, we all love Dazzler.
Speaker 3: Right, first appears of Dazzler in a movie. Yeah, totally
didn't even be in there, but you that's that's where
do the Leonardo.
Speaker 1: DiCaprio like Dazzler Dazzler and she's doing her dumb sparkle
powers and singing. Why was Dazzler in the Arcade game?
I never got that, like the Arcade game, like, yeah, Nightcrawler,
We'll bring Dazzler, Like why.
Speaker 6: Dazzler or the girls?
Speaker 5: The girls want to like, oh, who should I play?
Speaker 2: Speaking of girls with dumb sparkle powers?
Speaker 1: Uh, the actors who playing Jubilee had a scheduling conflict,
So Jubilee.
Speaker 2: Is just not in this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the only one who had a comic accurate outfit
in the last Home that it carried over just not around.
I'm like, yeah, that's kind of a big part of
the nineties team, but whatever. They're all having a good time.
Uh while meanwhile, Mystique tells b She's like, and we
should leave the X.
Speaker 2: Men do our own team.
Speaker 1: It's like it's X men that means like we're Xaviers.
It's like, didn't you come up with the name in her? Like?
Speaker 2: Am I wrong? I thought she was like involved with that, right.
Speaker 4: I believe you're correct.
Speaker 2: I know she came up with Professor X and Magneto,
so I don't know. Now she's mad about the name,
like kind of responsible for the name.
Speaker 1: But they do have a nice moment together Beast in
her because like that's you know, they were the only
ones from the first class that are left. Also, it's
annoying that Beasts is constantly switching between human and beast form. Yeah,
it just feels like there were some days he's like,
I don't want to do the blue makeup this thing.
Speaker 2: I'll do it for fight scenes and the funeral scene.
That's it. And it's like he's supposed to accept his
like Beast four, Yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean and all the others, isn't he usually always
like beast.
Speaker 2: Days years past?
Speaker 1: They came up with that thing where they can suppress it,
and I guess he goes back and forth.
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, it's weird that he could.
Speaker 5: Just turn it now, just like the Hulk at this point,
they really.
Speaker 2: Turned him into the Hulk, which was the Hulk.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Xavier is being honored at a party, uh for
I guess save it. All those astronauts and uh Psyclops
like Hey, Geen, you know what the kids are calling you? Phoenix?
Speaker 6: It's cool, right, No heard it from the dead.
Speaker 1: We get a name drop the phoenix because your rose
from the ashes.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And then she has like a meltdown and psychically blasts everyone.
Speaker 6: Well before that, he's already getting concerned. It's basically she's
got this power in her now, so it's altering her
behavior and like the crazy thing that's making cyclops. I
think there's something off about her. She has two drinks
and she wants to dance.
Speaker 5: Whoa crazy?
Speaker 2: Well that's how you know they're evil. Yeah, I have
two drinks and they're dancing.
Speaker 5: I wish I really I see a girl to drinks
dance and.
Speaker 2: I'm like, you're a space monster. Get out of here.
Speaker 6: He just starts screaming.
Speaker 5: Let's be honest. You're not going up to the girl.
Speaker 2: A girl came up to me recently. Did I send
you that video?
Speaker 1: Oh no, I gotta send you that video. So yeah, drinking,
don't do it, space ladies. That's how we know it
to you.
Speaker 4: No dancing thing and no dancing now.
Speaker 1: Yes, Kevin Bacon was right or yeah sorry, John Jonathan
Lift Down Remake, X Men and just haven't been a
flood with them.
Speaker 5: It would have been so much better.
Speaker 1: Exavier feels what happened, so he uses Cerebro to go
in her mind. I did like, this is like a
new thing Cerebro can do just project memories.
Speaker 6: Before it was.
Speaker 2: Just to find mutants.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I thought that was a cool use for
Cerebro other than just finding mutants. But yeah, they're going
into her past and he's just like much like the
last Dad, He's like, yeah, I put up these barriers
and stuff, and Wolverine's not there to yell at him.
I forgot to mention, Uh, Hugh Jackman retiring kind of
fucked this up.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, it would have been nice to have
Wolverine here.
Speaker 4: One of the bigger problems of this movie.
Speaker 1: No Wolverine, not that I mean, I know, he usually
seals the attention and stuff, but the future pass I
thought it was good.
Speaker 2: They like to him down a little bit. He didn't
really steal the show. And I like this cameo in Apocalypse.
Speaker 6: I think even if not Wolverine, Like the one thing
that's really lacking in the movie is part of the
fun of the X Men is it's a diverse group
of people, all have different personalities and they clash. But
here everybody is so muted. You just want somebody like
Quicksilver has like two quips in the movie. He's like, oh,
so we go to we're doing space missions now cool?
And I'm like, at least that's like one little heartbeat
of like wife in the movie. But yeah, Wolverine or
somebody to.
Speaker 1: The sideline him coming up, like the only funny guy
they sidelined him.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like a fan favorite from the previous movies.
Speaker 1: And we don't they need it more Nightcrawler and Storm
to be there, right, But yeah, so e they're going
through her memories. Charles tries to calm her down, but
she she fights him psychically, and then she learns that
her father's alive.
Speaker 4: I love it. He's like, more power, more, Scottie, we
need more power. No, it's too much.
Speaker 1: Now do you think she was going to bars before
she learned this information?
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, we cut that joke out.
Speaker 5: Do I comment or do I am? I just gonna
ignore you.
Speaker 1: Cyclops tries to stop her. He's like, look, we got it,
there's something wrong with you. You were dancing earlier. You gotta
stop and then she's like sleep just knocks them out
and leaves. And then Xavier is like, she's turning into something.
I don't know what it is. Probably has something to
do with that solar flare that she absorbed, and we
all ignore how.
Speaker 5: Was there not more of a build up for her?
Like how is it just jo drinks and dancing too well?
Speaker 1: Even the guys who wrote Dark Phoenix, like they criticized
this movie and last and they're like, that's just just
too big of a story for maybe one movie. Yeah, yeah,
it's just I don't know. They can't do it again, right,
we can all agree they can't do it again. Years
it's gonna be a while before they could do it again.
Speaker 6: And it happens so fast and the way it manifest
is so boring. Yeah, it's like she releases a shockwave
and like Cyclops gets a bruise. Yeah yeah, I mean,
is it time now for everyone to be like whoa
relax everybody, they.
Speaker 2: Get the jet, they're gonna go look for her.
Speaker 1: Vuk meets the remainder of the Dabari Empire. Apparently they've
just been unearthed, shape shifting like scrolls into people.
Speaker 7: They have the same personality as everyone else in this movie.
Speaker 2: They have no emotions.
Speaker 6: And we were talking about it the other day and
I'm like, a lot of times you have a protagonist
like Batman or something, he's really stoic, but you balanced
the movie out by having a super flamboyant villain like
Joker that has a lot of personality. But here they're like,
what if the aliens have.
Speaker 2: No emotion at all?
Speaker 6: And like the defenses, Well, they're emotionless aliens. Yeah, but
you chose to make them that way.
Speaker 7: Didn't have to be, is it because no one else
had any personality? They had to, you know, try to
make them look like they had more personality.
Speaker 6: This is your theory again, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: Exactly. It's like girls that aren't so cute.
Speaker 7: This is girls that aren't so cute find uglier friends
to make the better.
Speaker 6: I like the theory.
Speaker 1: I like you yourself or did you find out that
that was you and your friend group?
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, no, it was me.
Speaker 7: Yeah No, I had such like beautiful friends before, and
I was like, wait, I have to find a different.
Speaker 5: Group of friends now.
Speaker 1: I know I'm the most handsome person when I ever go
out with what friends? Oh?
Speaker 5: I don't know. We have to find some homeless men
maybe to help you when you go to the bar.
Speaker 4: Anyway, it shouldn't be that harder on you.
Speaker 1: The Jabari, you'll never guess what their plan is. They
want to use the force to take over the world.
Who could have guessed. I was a shop when I
heard that.
Speaker 5: So much uniqueness in this movie.
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, it's not like I know it's the
first time the X Men's doing it, and it is
like a big comic book thing, but like movie wise,
like the MCU has done this like fifteen times at
this point, like aliens are taking over the world. Cool,
we're doing this now a X Men. It was a
bad time for them to finally go cosmic. I think
that's good. The mc was already doing it. Gene goes
home and she sees her father. She's like, oh my god,
I'm alive, Dad, are you happy to see me?
Speaker 2: And he's just like, oh God. It's like, this is
the worst thing ever.
Speaker 6: But I actually like this scene. I think, at least
the beginning of it. This is the first point in
the movie whe're actually going back to your theory. Just
some degree of contrast where she's excited to see her
dad and you can see him getting like really uncomfortable. Yeah,
there's like a degree of subtlety there, and I felt
uncomfortable watching it. Yeah, Okay, something's happening.
Speaker 7: There's a little bit of acting yes, and then you're
like wait, wait, wait is too much too much for
the movie?
Speaker 6: Can't tell exactly.
Speaker 1: I love that cut again to remind us what Xavier
did mystiques on the jet and she's like, why did
you change your memories? Like I was trying to protect
her from what cut to she's looking at the Ash's like,
no pictures of me. You don't have any pictures of me?
And she's like did you not look for me? And
she realizes that the dad was terrified of her.
Speaker 7: I kind of really wish he had a different family,
like a whole like another child.
Speaker 2: Was that a you ever see Jim Carrey, I love you,
Philip Morris.
Speaker 1: No, or he like finds his actual momb and he's like,
I'm your son, and she's got a whole new family.
She shuts the door up and he takes he takes
her welcome that. He's like, I'm taking this because it's
a lie.
Speaker 5: Oh no, recently. I saw it in The Boys. What
the last season of the Boys.
Speaker 2: I didn't watch the Boys.
Speaker 5: Oh it's so good.
Speaker 6: I just started season five.
Speaker 1: But everyone who's been watching The Boys has said it
sucked in the last season.
Speaker 5: The last season wasn't.
Speaker 2: But I'm a typebreaker. I didn't watch the Boys.
Speaker 4: No, no, she's right.
Speaker 6: Yeah it's good.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, it's it's it's I'm just not as good.
Speaker 5: It's not as good.
Speaker 7: But the Boys overall, I just love that whole universe.
I want to see more.
Speaker 5: I started to watch there's an animated.
Speaker 7: Virg you guys see the animated version like the cartoon
of the Shorts.
Speaker 5: They're wh hilarious.
Speaker 1: What I want is Amazon Prime to do season three
of the Tick. That's why I didn't watch The Boys,
because the Tick was so good, and they're like, we're
canceling this for the Boys.
Speaker 2: I concur thank you.
Speaker 1: And I was so happy when The Boys came out
and everyone was like disappointed with the end, and like
we could have had five seasons of the Tick by now,
but all you idiots went right onto The Boys.
Speaker 7: Please be prepared for Really, I guess that it clearly is.
Speaker 5: Not going into another season. You really just.
Speaker 7: Did a happy, go lucky, boring ending.
Speaker 6: Okay, crap. We were seeing so much complaining about it online,
so I feel like I've been prepared to go in
with low expectations, so I think I'm gonna enjoy it.
Speaker 7: But overall, amazing, universe, cool, cool, I'll watch it never
and actually watched the tick out of Spot that.
Speaker 6: With all the movies Tony's been making me review lately,
it's actually really given me an appreciation. If something's not
that good, I'm like, this is a masterpiece.
Speaker 7: Until you watch something that's really not good and you're like, oh,
like you would think like, oh, go watch all wrong turn.
Speaker 5: It's like, no, why did you make me watch that?
Speaker 2: Some of them were really good.
Speaker 6: I wanted to have a talk with you because.
Speaker 2: I'm getting yelled.
Speaker 6: You keep bringing me in to like sweep up after
the mess is done. It's like I've reviewed every Spider
Man movie, kill can you come in and do amazing
Spider Man? And now now with X Men, and it's
like you could do it to me, but to me
to bring him in for Dark Phoenix, this isn't right,
this is not right. He's sorry.
Speaker 2: It was the best movie for them.
Speaker 6: He was on TV.
Speaker 4: I'm not arguing, I'm not thank you.
Speaker 2: For the rest of his life.
Speaker 6: Well, you went too far there.
Speaker 2: So she learns that.
Speaker 1: She killed her mom and that's why he was like
he begged Professor Axes, like, take this lady away from me.
She's got red hair, and also she killed my wife.
Were lung up on the first seat. That's how I
remember the movie. How often does that happen to your dad?
Speaker 6: Was just like get around.
Speaker 5: He was also a redhead.
Speaker 2: That's rough and decided to have kids.
Speaker 7: And anyway, Charles, do you know that there's a reason
why redheads they don't accept like I think eggs are
firm really from redhead apparently, Yeah, because people don't want
redhead children.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know, I had.
Speaker 6: I was.
Speaker 1: I looked up trying to make money donating and apparently
being under six foot also disqualifies you.
Speaker 2: But let's get back to this.
Speaker 5: Also on Hinge, also on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, everything pretty much everything.
Speaker 1: You need to have, like a college, like a master's
degree of like how is that genetic?
Speaker 5: What the fuck? Money or brains?
Speaker 1: One of the Yeah, Charles is like begging her to
come back. He's like, come on, come back, to the
X Mansion, Come home, Come home home.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Cyclops tries to reason with her and she's just like,
I don't know what I should do. And then the
cops show up. She's like, I'm just gonna throw them.
She's gonna throw their cop cars around. I do kind
of like her fighting the X Men because that was
like big moment in the Dark Phoenix thing.
Speaker 5: But wait, I had to ask why did the cops
show up? I missed that part.
Speaker 2: I think the dad might have called when at some point.
Speaker 5: When when he was knocked out, Like wasn't he knocked
knocked out.
Speaker 6: When she knocked him out when the X Men arrived.
I guess he would have had to do it before he.
Speaker 2: Did leave at some point to like get her water?
Speaker 6: Ye did it? Yeah? Yeah, I think that's he was like,
do you want a tea or something? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Like with their powers, like what are the cops going
to do?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the cops are like what does she do? She
moved things with her mind?
Speaker 6: It's like okay, yeah. If I was a cop in
the X Men universe of like, is a mutant involved? Okay,
good luck, I'd be.
Speaker 2: Like, what what are their powers?
Speaker 1: And it's like I don't know, they can like grow
hair on their face, out of their eyes or whatever,
like okay, I'll.
Speaker 5: Take care of I will turn into a cop like
in the DC University. Nothing.
Speaker 1: But so it's fine seeing the Phoenix who isn't dressed
or looks like the Phoenix fighting the X Men.
Speaker 5: She likes stuck a scarlet witch kind of like the.
Speaker 2: Red thing which they did with last Dan. It's like
green yes, well no, I guess she did. She was
kind of red and yellow, but she never really wears.
Speaker 5: But it's always like a long carg like it's always like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're afraid to go like full leotard. Yeah, just
do it. Well, I don't care about that.
Speaker 1: What annoys me is they're still not committing to the
Orange Fiery Force, because they did in then X Men too,
and then by the time X Men three came out,
they just put like a lamp behind her, like the Phoenix, like,
what the fuck is this? Oh, you just put a
light behind her and that's your effect. And like all
the posters like her, I do like the skin cracking
and the fire coming like.
Speaker 5: That, and like I do like kind of the close
ups a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I was all more, and then she doesn't
do it at all until you.
Speaker 5: Give me a little Now, give me more, little more,
little more.
Speaker 2: It's like, that's what we're here for.
Speaker 6: I didn't love I mean, I like the effect of
like the skin cracking thing, but what I found a
little annoying is if you're trying to do this, the
power is so enticing, but it's also dangerous to me.
They don't really get into the psychology that. Instead, it
seems like I'm basically flatlined nothing and then when disappears,
I'm gonna do something bad. Yeah, I'm back to normal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not like it's corrupting her.
Speaker 6: But like Xavier will say, she's all desired, all rage,
all pain. It'd be nice to see any of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But she stops the Crawler from teleporting. I know,
Quicksilver runs on the debris and you think we're gonna
get like a third like Quicksilver scene.
Speaker 2: No, she like basically takes him out and he's sidelined
for the rest of the movie. The most the most
entertaining character in the field.
Speaker 5: I still love that actor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love I love how they brought him into
the MCU in Asia.
Speaker 6: That was.
Speaker 4: It was so good.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, then uh, Storm doesn't do ship. She just
like throws them away.
Speaker 1: But then Charles like freezes everyone, and Beast is about
to shoot her, and he freezes everyone except for Mystique
was like, hey, Jeane, stop it, you suck.
Speaker 6: Will never hurt you, Gene, We'll Never's her.
Speaker 7: Only power, apparently in this entire movie, is just talk
to people or use her brain, like all of a sudden,
turn into anyone who she did nothing.
Speaker 5: Everyone else turned into other people she did.
Speaker 6: By the way, at this point, she's raving. She does
not want to be called.
Speaker 2: Wait, she told everyone to call her.
Speaker 5: She went to where she might as well have power.
Speaker 6: You know, she should have done. She should have transformed
into her dad and then been like I was kidding
about all that.
Speaker 5: There you go. Yeah, for some reason her it's only
the voice of re is her only power.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, but then uh Jean, good redhead versus bad
red head.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's what it was, Okay, but yeah, she struggles
to contain her power and she like does another blast
and Mystique gets impaled.
Speaker 5: The worst death for a mistake.
Speaker 1: Are you fucking Wolverine also got impaled on some wood.
I think that's the best way to go out of
the X one is getting paled on someone. But yeah,
she just gets sad and you feel nothing because you're like, yeah,
she didn't want.
Speaker 2: To be there.
Speaker 6: You feel that, you do feel a deep sense of
relief that Jennifer Lawrence gets to go.
Speaker 1: But like this is like the bad thing she knows.
Again in the comic, she blew up a planet like that.
That's why the Phoenix felt like a big deal. Like, oh,
she fought the X Men and then she went into
space and blew up.
Speaker 6: I was reading the wiki about it, and so she
I think she like swallows their son to get more
powers and like it goes super nova, destroys their planet,
and then death forces her to live the life of
a citizen on that planet, so she experiences it from
their perspective. Like this sounds so cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think none of that is in here.
This is the big moment.
Speaker 6: Oh she does her shoving power. Yeah she shoves people.
Speaker 1: Like that's not as big.
Speaker 7: But in the even in the anime this series, I'm
pretty sure she just steals the power from like a
planet or a sun that has no reason, like it
doesn't do anything. So I think that down down, But
I think the comics is the only part what it
actually shows, like this horrible thing that he's done.
Speaker 1: Because for the last stand, I read the comic and
watched all the versions.
Speaker 2: I didn't do it for this one. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: If you want to know more about the dark Phoenix Floor,
I guess go back and watch that episode.
Speaker 2: But yeah, mystique dead. Everyone is said, Uh, raven as
we all.
Speaker 1: Raven as we all know she can't survive being stabbed
in the abdomen except for the first movie where she
survived stabbed in the absence.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Uh at funeral, I'm like looking at the wood
coming out of.
Speaker 6: Her, like thirty five years older now now her powers
aren't a strong.
Speaker 1: No, she's younger. Actually, everyone is devastated. Jeane flies away,
they have a funeral, everyone's sad in the rain. Beast
went beast mode for this one.
Speaker 2: Uh, honor her. I guess I like that image.
Speaker 6: I remember it's in the trailer, like beast looking sad
in the rain in funeral and striking image.
Speaker 1: And then the students are all scared. They're like, is
she gonna come back for us? Since I was like, oh,
she's just sick.
Speaker 6: I'm like that's and Storm is like, yes, definitely us all.
Speaker 1: Also Storm, Like I'd be there and be like it
was all rain and they're like, hey, Storm, could you
fucking way I got brellas and goes, hey, uh the fuck,
Like we all just bought these new suits of their
so can you like do something?
Speaker 2: I hate whenever it rains around Storm, it's like Storm.
Speaker 5: What the fuck?
Speaker 6: Maybe maybe she's the one making it rain. Sad day,
sad guys crying.
Speaker 1: They're like, Storm, I'd be like, hey, Storm, can you
make it rain? But like you know, in a circle
around us, so we don't get.
Speaker 5: Oh, you have to have the tears and the rain mesh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of Storm, she uh, because remember mystique was
her hero. In the last film, she talks to the Cyclops.
They gave her something to do. They gave her one
scene where she's like, hey, Cyclops, Gene sucks.
Speaker 2: We should probably kill u. She's like, no, there's still
some good in her. And she's like, nah, probably not.
Speaker 1: She should be like, you know, I trusted a blue
guy with tubes and he ended up not being legit,
so you should not trust Jane at all. But that's
like the only thing they give Storm in this is
that she tells Cyclops that he shouldn't trust his.
Speaker 6: It's frustrating to see because number one, if you were there,
it didn't look she goes. You know she did it
on purpose. It doesn't look like she did like she's cornered.
You saw her glowing, kind of like that sci fi
cloud she absorbed in the first act. Like you might
have something to do with that. And especially if you've
grown up around mutants, you know that someone gets too
much power and they can't fully control it. And then
I understand the emotional reaction of like, she killed my friend,
but to give no nuance whatsoever. And this is the
only thing she does in the movie. It just comes
off as really dumb.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can see that because she runs over soon
as it happens. If she did on purpose, she wouldn't
be running over and get that upset. She would have
killed the rest of them as flying.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Beasts and Charles have a drink in the kitchen where
he met Raven.
Speaker 2: I guess we're.
Speaker 1: Calling her now, uh and Beasts like, hey, before they started,
you were telling us a whole story about like your
birth certificate.
Speaker 6: You changed her name and you were very insistently you
call me Tony, and now you won't give her the
same grace.
Speaker 4: Wait, what's on her birth certificate?
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, true, pretty sure her parents were like, ah, it's
a blue monster and the crew in the water.
Speaker 2: I don't think there was was first certificate.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I like that piece is like, Man, I'm
so sad by the way Charles is all your fault.
Speaker 2: Charl's like, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know she wanted to leave, You made her
do all that, and uh, you should go to hell,
and Charles like, oh, well, I'll think about it.
Speaker 6: I like the scene.
Speaker 4: Cleared the table broke, broke all the glasses. Yeah, very traumatic,
very emotional smash.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's just so depressed. It feels like is just straight.
Speaker 2: Yes and the like.
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm also responsible because she said she wanted
to leave, and I said maybe, like it's a piece.
I don't think you're that responsible. I don't think you
were gonna move out and get a U haul the
next day. I think you would have done it over
a period of time.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 6: Like, though, I think there's some residual carryover from the
fact that we've been with these two actors from first class,
and I feel like the two actors are actually attempting
something in the scene, and there is some complexity there
where you could understand why Beast was very close with
Raven would blame Exavier for this. I do think it
would be nice if the movie made the case for
Exavier a little stronger, like if we spent some time
with her as a child and saw, okay the trauma
was causing her to lash out.
Speaker 2: Both versions of the story of film, they skip over.
Speaker 6: That, yes, which I think is probably the right choice,
because in the one scene we got like, I don't
know if the child actor, and I'm not blaming her.
A lot of the acting is rough in this movie.
Speaker 2: Gil does this all the time. She shouldn't act.
Speaker 6: My parents are dead, aren't they? Yeah, she's a kid.
Speaker 5: How is she that mature?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Well, with how aging works in this universe, she
could be forty in that scene. You have no idea.
Speaker 2: But I do like when Beasts like just admit that
you're wrong, and Charles like, you know.
Speaker 1: Like, god damn, the aliens investigate the crime scene. I
don't know who those party goers were, but I guess
they have credentials to get into crime scenes. Yeah, and
they questioned Jean's dad And by question I mean they
turn his chest into a cave and torture.
Speaker 6: They did. Like, it's kind of funny how they leave
the torture just like to your imagination, but all you
get is that one weird thing of his like chest
super compressing.
Speaker 1: Also, she has telekinetic abilities to the rest of the
aliens are just jumping and shape shifting. Yeah, she can
also kind of do that. She also a mute.
Speaker 6: She ate a little bit of that cloud before it
got to uh, but she.
Speaker 7: Has all these other parts, like she knew later, like
the bar and everything. Why didn't she just know where
to go her? Like why she knew to go to
that accident but not actually go find her.
Speaker 5: How does she know who her dad.
Speaker 6: Was if she was talking to her in the opening scene,
which I think is the theory we came up with earlier.
I don't know if you have any evidence for it. No, Well,
maybe they've been tracking Jeane this whole time because she's
like they detected there's a super powerful mutant on Earth.
If that cosmic force comes to their planet, it's gonna
go for her, so maybe they've been he.
Speaker 5: Didn't go for her that it was taking over. It
was after this she was gonna go up there.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Then we cut to something you know X Men fans
never thought they'd see on the big screen Genosha, and
it's a couple of shacks in an old boat.
Speaker 2: Look, I get it, they're building Jenosha.
Speaker 1: I'll give them some leeway there, but it's like this
is the only time for getting it on film, and
it's a couple shanty it's like a shanty town.
Speaker 2: Like I thought Genosha would look cooler than that. But
oh well, uh yeah.
Speaker 6: Point in the movie, there's no way you were thinking that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Magneto's there and he's just living a peaceful life. Sure,
hope no one he loved dies, forcing him to become
a killer again. It was, by the way, I can't
believe they did this again, because even an Next Men
Apocalypse where he had then kid and then they also died,
like now, it's ridiculous, and then like you're doing it again.
Speaker 6: And it was, I mean it was even funnier in Apocalypse,
so because they invent an entire family and then like
ten minutes later kill them all at least here it's
an existing character, but it's so egregious again first class.
Speaker 1: It's his actual family, his mom dead, now he wants revenge.
Day's future pass. It's his brotherhood of mutants. They were
killed off in between films Dead the Family from Apocalypse.
Now he's back, Like how many times he like? I
like in the old movies where he's just like, I'm
the bad guy. Well, he's like, I'm the good guy
and everyone thinks I'm bad. I'm just gonna do this.
He didn't need someone constantly.
Speaker 2: Dying to remotivate him. Oh, it was so dumb.
Speaker 1: So of course Gene shows up there and she's like, hey,
I'll just stop hurting people.
Speaker 2: And he's just like.
Speaker 1: Distracted myself, I guess, but I love that whole time
is like whose blood is on your outfit? This is
like I just need to know, Like, if you like
murdered someone, how do you feel that? It's like, yeah,
murdering is great. Whose blood is on your mouth?
Speaker 2: And it just keeps going and going and going.
Speaker 1: But the conversation gets cut short because the military arrived.
Speaker 5: Wait, how is there blood? Like did she go?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I like she didn't go up to her and like,
Hugger must have.
Speaker 6: Been like a spur, like some blood spread it out.
Speaker 5: No, but she she was already impaled.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: You feel like a lot of times in a movie
when someone gets like stabbed in the blood just keeps
scorting out. Yeah, you ever seen like an Evil Dead
movie for example, You never.
Speaker 5: Ever compare this ever again. I had so over Sexuary.
Speaker 2: It's gone this July. We should probably put Evil Dead
burn on the wrap up.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, So yeah, he's questioning she. He knows
that she's not giving him the full story. But the
military is like, hey, we need uh, we need Gene.
He's like, who's Gene?
Speaker 6: Never heard of her?
Speaker 1: I don't know who you're talking about. And then the
Gene shows up and it's like, oh that Gene.
Speaker 2: I didn't know you met her.
Speaker 6: What's she doing here? I had no idea?
Speaker 2: Sorry?
Speaker 1: Main comic book man, Yes, who are bald purple Lady
and magic treadlock guy?
Speaker 2: Who are those?
Speaker 4: Keisha and the other something?
Speaker 2: Yet you know you actually do the name.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, I'm I'm close. I'm not exactly that. Yeah,
not major characters.
Speaker 1: I saw the purple buzz cut lady I'm like, is
that like a new Pilock And I'm like, well, they
had Silock and she didn't come back, so that's not her.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I couldn't tell you. The first appearances cool characters
didn't really do that much.
Speaker 6: But I love that.
Speaker 1: Is like, yes, my mutants, I have a psychic here.
I'm like, that's a good mutant have.
Speaker 2: He's like and a.
Speaker 1: Guy who's dreadlocks her tentacles. I'm like, that's okay. I
feel like he's like one of like your backup guys.
Speaker 4: Back up, back up back, yeah.
Speaker 2: Or like your pawn that you're allowed to me.
Speaker 6: He knows that every time he likes someone or loves somebody,
they immediately die, so he's trying to just surround himself
and he's.
Speaker 2: Looking at dreadlock eyes like yeah, I got nothing for that.
Speaker 4: Yeah. They throw four stringers and you a deal.
Speaker 3: Oh no, anyway, throw a little of fight scene later on,
you're good.
Speaker 1: She like tries to destroy the one helicopters, and he
like likes that he's being left alone, so he's kind
of like on the human side on this one. He's like, no, no, no,
don't do that please. I like being left alone. So
he helps them he throws.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Oh that's another moment that was in a trailer
that always stuck in my mind, when he's like holding
the helicopter and he's like, you can't do it. I
like that because then it's like he has to show
emotion there. The movie's putting him in a position where
he has to act.
Speaker 1: But also I guess because he's fighting against Gan so
it's stronger. Yeah, because I'm just like, no, he literally
had the Earth's magnetic force in his hands and now.
Speaker 2: He's like this helicopter.
Speaker 6: We've seen that in so many movies where it's like
two magic forces against each other and the two characters
are just like yeah, this is the one time where
I like really felt him trying, like he was trying
so hard.
Speaker 1: But I thought like it was cool, like when the
blade is coming up to them and everything, But then
the shot of the helicopter being watched us. Yeah, Magneto's
like get out of here, lady leave, and then like
right away the government's like, yeah, tournament camps, we should
put that on the table.
Speaker 2: Like really so random.
Speaker 7: It was just like was it just like a voiceover
or something. Yeah, it wasn't even like a discussion.
Speaker 6: It was like.
Speaker 1: Mystique threw a couple of cop cars and then killed
him ut in. I feel like in this world, even
though everyone's like cool with you and there's still mutants
doing it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I feel like the fact that all of
them came over just because she tossed a couple of
cop cars.
Speaker 6: She so what.
Speaker 1: I think one of the ideas for like last Dan
was like she causes like a tidal wave and flood
cities if she had done something.
Speaker 2: Bad like that.
Speaker 1: I can understand this reaction, but it's like a domestic
disturbing a.
Speaker 6: Big extraterrestrials recently landed on the planet. There was like
a weird solar flare thing in space. Like, I hope
you guys are like at least spending some resources investigating that,
not just like I turned over.
Speaker 5: A dinner party just die.
Speaker 6: Just got a place by an alien.
Speaker 5: No, that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 1: Oh in the government ghost Xavier, he's like hello President, Like, oh, President,
doesn't go it's not going to answer this phone call.
Speaker 6: I'm a superhero. Though.
Speaker 4: Yes, this line is no longer of use to you.
Speaker 1: But I liked that they didn't just disabled the line
they were waiting for him, like this line is no
longer of use.
Speaker 6: It was someone's job to stand by that phone and wait,
just to be able to say that did he call you?
Speaker 4: Did he call you?
Speaker 6: The president is just waiting his stupid face.
Speaker 1: Jane uses her power to actually she u so the
Dabari shape shift and Jean has an ability to look
like something else.
Speaker 2: But mistique shifter does not chape shit.
Speaker 1: It's great, but she looks like an old man. And
was that hur in the makeup? Because that looked like
a very fake looking old man. No offense if that
was a real actor.
Speaker 4: I checked the credits. His credit is old man in bar,
So there.
Speaker 5: Looked very Yeah, how can we make this look even more?
Speaker 6: I guess that's the call sheet. We need an old
man who looks kind of like Sophie Turner. And there's
one guy out there. He's like, finally my time.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: She's in the bar drinking away or sorrow, and then
Vuk comes in. She's like, yeah, I know you're not
really an old man. I have alien brain. You can't
mess with my brain. She's like, oh, so Jean's powers
only work on humans, I guess, and mutants, well, but yeah,
she's trying to gas. Later, she's like, hey, you should, uh,
you should join me. I know what's going on with you.
I can give you all the answers you need. Classic
bad guy manipulation.
Speaker 6: Manipulation that was a strong word. It really was not
that hard. Yeah, with me, that's destroying, asking.
Speaker 5: For help for everyone. Yea, like the whole movie. Someone
helped me.
Speaker 1: She walked into a cult, they would have the best
day of their life. They're like, we have all these
steps and we just skipped right.
Speaker 6: She ran into one Mormon on the way to this bar.
Could have been avoided. Not that Mormonism is a cult,
but yeah, yeah, a system of beliefs that is far
less dangerous.
Speaker 1: Sorry that I had such a controversial opinion on this show.
Speaker 2: I'll never invite him back.
Speaker 4: So controversial.
Speaker 1: Mormons don't like being made fun of. Okay, there's not
a broad I'm just saying that's as long as he
didn't say scientology, we're good, We're good, We're good.
Speaker 5: Imagine she did fucking join Phychology.
Speaker 2: Like, holy, I don't know how good their lawyers are
these days. Stop it.
Speaker 5: I think we would give them some ideas.
Speaker 1: Beast takes the X Jet and goes to Genosha and
he lets Magneto know that she killed Raven, and Magneto
is like, I finally have an excuse start killing it.
Speaker 2: He's like, let me whip out the old metal helmet.
Speaker 6: At ten minutes ago, he was like, I tried getting
revenge for fifty years. It never made me feel better. Yeah,
ten minutes later, let's get revenge. I think that's also.
Speaker 2: It's not as cool Apocalypse red helmet. Remember you got
like a makeover. They all got makeovers?
Speaker 1: Did those disappear when Apocalypse die? Because now it's the
old rusty helmet fun.
Speaker 5: He got rid of the others. He kept that one.
Speaker 1: Remember when he had his comic accurate outfit for one
scene in first Class?
Speaker 2: That was nice.
Speaker 4: That was awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Acalypse, even though looks stupid, at least it was
bright and red. I'm like, yeah, it looks like Magnino again.
And this one he's just like, I'm just gonna wear
a helmet in the jacket. I'm like, oh, we're right
back to this shit. Also, going forward the rest of
the movie, they're never in their X Men outfits.
Speaker 2: I just want to point that out.
Speaker 1: Those great outfits from New X Men by Grant Morris. Right,
uh but yeah, So Magneto is ready to kill and
then vuk Or Buck like you still haven't figured out
which one it is. She introduces Gene to the Bari
uh and she's just like yeah, uh oh. She takes
her upstairs at the bar, are like.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to kill that lady. If she can't
control it. We're gonna have to kill her because they
could just kill someone with the Phoenix Force, I guess, the.
Speaker 5: Most powerful force that they keep saying that they're scared of.
Speaker 2: Yep. But she's like, yes, the Force.
Speaker 1: She does that whole like movie psychically showing you thing.
She's like, yes, the Force destroyed our world and we
kept tracking it and you were the first thing it
didn't destroy, and that's why we want you. And then
Magneto of course goes to New York. Charles is reading
Magneto's mind, knowing where he's gonna go. Before Magneto puts
on the help I did like Magneto puts on the
helmet and then Charles takes off cerebra. Yeah that's and
then Charles is like, all right, just me and Cyclops
and beasts are going. He's like Storm and Nightcrawler, we
can't afford to lose any other people.
Speaker 2: You stand out of stay out of this.
Speaker 1: And they're like, we're gonna come because we need to
be in the movie.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think he just said to Storm and then
Ncralic just appears. I'm pretty sure he just tells Storm.
Speaker 2: They're like and then there's no pushback and they're like, no,
we want to go. He's like, all right.
Speaker 6: It's like the movie is trying to do that classic
moment if like I'm not going to ask you to come,
then it's just like dramatic things like I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna risk at all. But it's Xavier like I
won't ask you to come. We're coming, all right.
Speaker 1: He's just like Storm, you can control the weather and
rain lightning down on everyone.
Speaker 2: There might be a guy with redlocks.
Speaker 6: Take care.
Speaker 2: That's a problem with these movies.
Speaker 1: They really Storm is so overpowered and they never really
let her know, not loose, and they're always putting her
on these like lame ass flights like she should be
dealing with a lot more.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what she do? She makes ice for the thing
that was about the extends, so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she makes ice power that a younother X Men
can do.
Speaker 4: It's like cool, right or frigid?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 1: They all show up outsideber Ginas and then Magneto and
Charles have their classic like.
Speaker 2: Vengeance isn't the way.
Speaker 1: They gotta live in humanity and don't kill her, don't
give into your anger, and I did like that.
Speaker 2: Magneto was just like I had enough.
Speaker 1: Of this because he has, although it was better in
X Men ninety seven where he's like Charles, I'm gonna
say something I ever wanted to say for a long time.
Speaker 6: Shut up, like the tone of voice you're doing right now.
And then they show up. That's in the movie. It's
like there's always a speech, but nobody cares anymore. Exavior,
You're not wrong if.
Speaker 1: They like showed up and he's they're just like, you
know what I'm gonna say, yeah, and I'm gonna ignore.
Speaker 2: You, and they just moved on.
Speaker 6: And then Dreadlock guys and no, let's shot this guy out.
Speaker 2: I'm new Year. What were you guys gonna say? They're like, okay,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 6: It's also like Dreadlock Guy's become my pay per view.
The conflict between Magneto and Xavier has always been one
of the more interesting aspects of X Men. It's like
a philosophical difference, but here it's so lame. It's just like,
that's a murderer. I think we should give her a
second chance. I think we should get revenge. I it's
such a petty and small conflict compared to the ones
that had previously.
Speaker 7: Yeah, wait, is it blah like the movie weird?
Speaker 6: They're trying to make the previous movies look better.
Speaker 5: It's what it is.
Speaker 1: And I think Beasts is on like Magneto side, so
he's like, we're gonna kill her.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna kill Jean.
Speaker 1: You know this woman that's been like a student of
mine for years and literally just did this one bad
thing after the storm came.
Speaker 2: But now I think she sucks.
Speaker 5: But no, Beast was like straight up in love with Raven.
Speaker 2: I know why.
Speaker 6: Well you're talking about oh yeah, yeah, why he wants
to kill uh.
Speaker 2: But it's weird that Beast is like so on board
with the murder thing.
Speaker 6: It's like, yeah, but you also know Gene like he's
protecting himself because he it was a dereliction of duty.
That he let her go without like really checking her.
When she came back, she's like, I got to kill her.
And he finds out how much.
Speaker 5: You're not wrong, because he's about to fucking shoot her.
Before I get out, Raymond died.
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's a big fight outside the fight you've
always woned. Night Crawler versus shaved Purple Lady and treadlock
Guy versus Storm, a battle of champions, and I like
the whole conflict that Charles like, I gotta get in
the house and Nightcrawlers like they're not letting me teleport.
Speaker 2: I did think it was cool that man Needa like
lifts the train out of the suit.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So he makes it into the building and fuck cover.
Speaker 1: Okay, she's just like go phoenix mode on him and
she starts glowing and then we get a near eye
stab scene. Famously, I hate I stabbings, and it's a
long history and.
Speaker 6: We can't just say famously in front of something and
then just make it.
Speaker 2: Yes on this show, Famously everything.
Speaker 5: The famous Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1: I like that he gets the railing to stab her
and it gets like real clothes, but then she throws
it away.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 6: Wait, so she's like a cosmic force, super powerful. You know,
the best idea is to walk in the front door
and announce I am here to kill you.
Speaker 1: But yeah, she crushes his helmet at first and then
shatters it and throws him out of window.
Speaker 6: She tells him. He says like, I'm going to kill you,
and she says like, uh no, you won't let me
show you how easy it is to kill someone. Yeah,
and then she doesn't kill him. I guess it's not easy.
Speaker 5: She thought teased like does she do that on purpose?
Where she broke it apart was like I will kill you.
Speaker 1: She hasn't even willingly killed anyone yet, which is not
good for this movie.
Speaker 2: We're supposed to be a friend of the Dark.
Speaker 7: Phoenix because she clearly doesn't want to though, which I
do understand that she has said like help me, help me.
I I'm gonna kill everyone that I go around, so
she's trying purposely.
Speaker 1: This is one thing Last Stan did better. She killed
people she didn't want to. But also the Dark Phoenix
killed people.
Speaker 7: It's fine, but they didn't make it into a different
personality that I think it was another issue. It was
just this, it's not another person, not another person it's
just something she's struggling with. It just feels like a
power she can't really control too well. Instead of this
is Phoenix and dark Phoenix, there is no separation, which
drives me nuts.
Speaker 6: She's still Gene, but every once in a while she
shoves everyone.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's just jeany and I read that.
Speaker 1: My favorite part is where she just went, ah.
Speaker 5: Why did she if she makes people just fall asleep?
Speaker 7: Like if you, if you are you can control big
people fall asleep, why don't you just do? Yeah?
Speaker 5: I don't want her people just sleep.
Speaker 1: The one thing I remember from this comics, like the
whole Wolverine Gene love story wasn't like really a big deal.
So when it happens in this when she's like evil,
there's one part Wolverines is like, oh, it's real sad,
what's happened to Gene, But we gotta stop her.
Speaker 2: He's ready to kill it compared to the movie.
Speaker 1: He's like, I've been so in love with her, I
can't do into the cop He's like, wish I wouldn't
have to do this. But I thought, uh, I thought
this was funny where Charles comes in and is playing
with her and then freaking She makes him hopple.
Speaker 3: That was so weird, crushes the wheelchair, crushes the wheelchair.
Speaker 5: It was weird.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because it acts like she's been on this cruel streak,
like humiliating everyone, but she only does it to him
this one time. It feels like it comes out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then uh, he shows her their past and
she gets a little sentimental. But then g fuck is
just like, man, maybe this powers is too much for you.
Wish I could take it, And she's like you want it.
She's like me, okay, you know it's funny. Wait twenty
nineteen is that when is that when Far From Home
came out? M I can't remember, because that that was
also a bad guy trying to get something from the
hero and manipulating them into thinking it was their idea.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he spent like half a movie convincing Peter. Yea
mysterio spends like half the movie convinced Peter he's the
good guy here. She's like, can I have that like
world ending power? You have no idea? Who I am?
Speaker 2: Here?
Speaker 6: You go get it out of me?
Speaker 2: Getting the out of me.
Speaker 5: It's like girls go into a bathroom, It's like, hey
have a hair ty.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yes, this feels exact, Crystal. This is exactly like
girls sharing a hair tie. That's what it feels like.
Speaker 1: You also hug for a really long time before you
give them that hairtime.
Speaker 5: It depends how we are.
Speaker 7: But yes, there has been times where girls have asked
each other to Hey, you want to get to my wedding.
Speaker 1: I'm sure if the transfer completed, Fuck would have invited
her to the wedding.
Speaker 5: Gotcha.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so they start transferring the power, but then
like what's his face? Charles is trying to like reason
with her, and then Fuck gets a little uh carried away.
She hasn't got the force yet, and she's already starting
to ship talk.
Speaker 8: She's like, your lives meek, nothing with your world will
be hours.
Speaker 6: You couldn't have waited like eight seconds to say that.
Speaker 2: Your watch key and peel. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love when they did the skit with the terrorists
where he's like, kill I don't have the courage to
kill myself, but I don't want to get captured.
Speaker 2: You should kill me. The guy's like, all right, you motherfucker.
But then the Gundows goes away. Why did you say that?
Speaker 6: Did you say that?
Speaker 1: You got a little too Cop, and he's like, oh sorry,
Like hold on, that's it. She thought it was all
gonna work out. She should talked a little too early.
Speaker 6: Should They did a similar scene in Age of Ultron
where they were like transferring Ultron into his new vision body. Oh,
he doesn't say it out loud, like and then I'm
going to destroy the world. It's like their minds are melded,
or because his mind is being transferred into a biological
body that gives Scarlet, which the ability to read his mind,
and then she sees it that was a more clever way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ultron wasn't just like all right, let's do this
so I could kill all of you.
Speaker 2: I mean what, Yeah, this is bad. But luckily it's
like it's like.
Speaker 6: The Simpsons where Homer will sometimes think he's thinking, but
actually he's speaking out. He's like off to work and
then into the Deff Brewery. Wait did I say that
out loud?
Speaker 1: But I love that Cyclops just comes in, has no
idea what's happening, and just blasts oh no, I.
Speaker 7: Guess Xavier can't read an alien's mind either, right, He
goes like.
Speaker 2: What are you?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, Cyclops comes in and just blast them.
Speaker 6: Not knowing what it will look the day again, just.
Speaker 1: Launches fuck out the window. Well that's happening. All the
X Men get taken.
Speaker 6: Bye, They get taken by the Mutant Containment Unit.
Speaker 2: The MCU. Is that like a jab or what.
Speaker 6: I looked into it. It was not intentional. I think
originally they were called Mutant Containment and then when the
costume designer was putting it together, they added unit to it.
And when the director noticed it, he was like, let's
leave it in as a fun little easter egg.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 1: But yeah, they take everyone because everyone's all knocked out.
They have those like guns that knock them out, like
even try.
Speaker 2: I was like, wait. And then they had those mutant.
Speaker 1: Collars from the Deadpool movies on him, which are the
first time they've been introduced in the actual X Men films, right,
I think so, I only knew it from Deadpool too.
Speaker 2: The co also, I think we can say the best.
Speaker 1: Thing about this movie is that it led to the
cameo and Deadpool two where he's like where are the
X Men? That cuts to all of them in that
room and they shut the door. That's like the only
because they did that while they were filming this. It's
like the only funny thing. They wake up on a train,
They're like, all right, where we're going somewhere?
Speaker 6: Bye?
Speaker 5: Last night. I fell asleep right before this.
Speaker 2: Did you watch the rest?
Speaker 5: I know what the movie is. I remember it. Yeah. Oh,
but just to let you know, at this point, I
was so bored I passed out.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 3: Like, like I said, there was like another half hour
left of this.
Speaker 1: It's funny knowing what the original ending was with the
United Nations and the alien spaceships.
Speaker 2: Like, how did the rest of the movie get there?
That was weird? I don't know how they were.
Speaker 5: It was just like a nice, clean ending.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just I don't know how the original script led
into that original ending, because nothing in this movie feels
like it's building up towards.
Speaker 6: Maybe that was the problem. They were like, wait a minute,
this makes no sense.
Speaker 1: So fuck is just basically like I didn't get enough
of that Phoenix force. We gotta get the rest of it.
We need the rest of it. And then, of course,
because we already had one, we need another. Charles going
stop wanning revenge all the time. Eric, If I was
Eric I'd be like, can you duct tape his fucking mouth?
Speaker 6: Like come on, well, he's not wrong though. I mean,
this is exactly what Magneto was saying earlier in the movie.
It's like a kid who keeps s eating too much
candy and I gets a stomach ache. Yeah, what happens
when you eat so much candy? What happens when we
get revenge Magneto.
Speaker 5: He's like, well, why is everyone keep dying? Why is
the candy in front of me? You put the candy
in front of me.
Speaker 2: My favorite is the one guy who looks at Nightcrawler.
Speaker 1: He's like, my kid used to love you, Like that
was so bad, and it's just to lead to like
a moment later again they need it something for Nightcrawler
because he is literally just there.
Speaker 6: They play it so pointly, like when the guy dies
or don't go on me, don't go on me, and
then I call it goes into a rage and like
what connection does he have to this guy? And then
it rewound and it's like my kid used to like you.
It wasn't even like a positive thing. It was said
as like a pejorative, like he used to like you.
I think that's what leads to night caralers like big moment, and.
Speaker 1: Then the Dubari's great plan is to hide in the
cave and then jump on a train and then walk
in and then they're resistant to.
Speaker 2: Some bullets, but not all bullets.
Speaker 1: A fifty cow will be able to take them out.
Speaker 2: They didn't account for any of this. It's like they're
shape shifters. Can't they shape shift into some.
Speaker 1: Of the MCU And like, why are they doing like
this jum like just blatant attack. They could have done
this way more cleverly when they got to wherever they
were going.
Speaker 6: He always woroked on our asparagus planet.
Speaker 1: Are by the way, I looked up this lady from
the comic at one point. That's like the asparagus person
in like a next suit of Like that would have
been cool. So the mutants are like, you can't handle this. Finally,
the human and mutants they can finally bond over hating
those dirty space aliens. I like that, that's what's uniting
mutants and humanity, Like, well, I know we had our differences,
but aliens, that's a can's god, we gotta go after that.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, the Dubari are.
Speaker 1: Coming in they're just killing everyone right away, and eventually
someone's like, yeah, we should probably let the mutants out
to fight these guys. The mutes are free, the storm
manages to fry most of them.
Speaker 2: She finally there.
Speaker 1: I don't know why she's not using the wind to
slow down the train or anything.
Speaker 2: Do you remember as quick SILVERTA, No, he's at home.
He brought he got knocked off, he got super injured.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he got a commission, yea injured list.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's watching the kids.
Speaker 6: They're making this movie. I wish we could use him,
but you know, he got hurt in the friendly. You
chose to do that.
Speaker 2: You have to do that, unless there was a schedule
anything whatever.
Speaker 6: He had to go do wand Division worth it true.
Speaker 7: Honestly, if I honest had to have him more in
this movie or not have him in WandaVision, I'd be
a lot more pressed.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the security guard dies and night Crawler goes
murder mode. His kids used to like me, Yeah, well,
this is the first time you've seen like Nightcrawler, like, yeah, murdering.
I mean, I guess, I guess because I'm like, is
it like Crawler like super religious? Like, oh, these are
godless aliens in his eyes. It's like aliens tooke out
and I read the Bible. They're not in there.
Speaker 2: I could kill these.
Speaker 6: It's just like Predator Badlands, so it's PG thirteen, but
we can kill everybody and their robots.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's going murder mode. Charles and Cyclops they
make it the gene. They're trying to wake her up.
Magneto goes murder mode. And for some reason, this keeps
getting clipped on social media sites and they keep sharing
this scene.
Speaker 6: And they misattributing it to like they might have.
Speaker 1: Missed the uh the AI twitter bots that share movie
clips without.
Speaker 2: They're starting to hate me.
Speaker 6: Have you seen this trend?
Speaker 2: Seen this? No?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 1: Okay, So a lot of vines from certain countries around
the world, they're clearly like generated. They're just sharing clips
like vertical clips with weird AI films, and they're all
they always have like some like nonsense out of like
they thought they were in the clear, but blah blah blah,
And then all the comments are like what movie is this?
Speaker 2: What movie is always that? Yeah, it's always and they
won't answer because they're banking on the engagement.
Speaker 1: And it was really bothering me, and then I know, well, yeah,
this is a big one that I've seen lately. But
then I realized, wait, I've reviewed a lot of these movies,
so I've been hurrahed.
Speaker 2: I've been spamming the spam accounts with links.
Speaker 1: To my show, and I've gotten blocked by a bunch
of like blowing the engagement man.
Speaker 7: Yes, what was the most recent I saw what I
think yesterday.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I did like three this morning.
Speaker 5: Maybe that's why Destination. Oh yeah, that's this is Final Destination, Like.
Speaker 2: Changing your plane flight won't help you.
Speaker 1: Final Destination two thousand and then the clips from Final
Destination five gymnastic scene.
Speaker 2: Like what the fuck?
Speaker 1: Oh like just straight up lie. They'll say what the
movies wrong? I'm like, this guy is lying. Here's the
real movie, and then linked to the show.
Speaker 6: I think I said this to you last time. But
it reminds me of when I was visiting China and
they were selling like twenty years ago. They were selling
all the DVDs like, oh yeah, copies and it'll be
like twenty four And then on the back it's the
synopsis for like Fresh Prince of bel Air.
Speaker 5: That sounds great, yeah, that was exactly the type of DVD.
Speaker 7: But I went to a store in my hometown growing
up and they had all the those types of boot
like DVDs.
Speaker 5: And stuff like that.
Speaker 7: Almost all of them had something messed up but wasn't
real and confused everyone and.
Speaker 5: We're like, what are we getting today? You put it in,
it's just totally different movie. Yeah, so it happens when
they're five.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I did like Magneto just like killing all
these an.
Speaker 6: That moment where he like crushes the car. Yeahs that
was cool.
Speaker 1: And again, so when I first watched this, hearing about
how this whole third act was bad, I was expecting
like shitty green screens, unfinished effects. This is like after
I think Simon whatever his name was, was actually involved
with this the fant four Stick twenty fifteen where you
could tell like the actress's wig is changing and like
the thing isn't properly shaded. I was expecting this whole
third act to look that bad. And then I watched
the movie, like all the effects look finished.
Speaker 2: I'm fine.
Speaker 1: I'm like I was actually let down that it didn't
look as bad as I thought it was gonna be.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so that was a cool moment.
Speaker 1: Fuck finally joins the fight and she has the Phoenix
for so, she's like resistant to everything and just killed
people right away. And I'm like, why did you let
like fifty of your own people get murdered? Why didn't
you just go in right away when all the mutants
were still locked up. You could have walked right past
them and killed everyone. It was so dumb.
Speaker 6: Maybe she she can't stand those guys. She's like, why
don't you guys going can't you just kill I? Am?
I still charging up my power.
Speaker 1: Race, but those guys kind of suck. She's the only
female as far as I know, so she's like, let
me get rid of something.
Speaker 4: Sorry, guys, Sorry.
Speaker 2: I did like that.
Speaker 1: Magneto aims all the guns at her. Yes, that's so
as firing. They're just shooting at her and it does nothing.
I forget what she does to him, She like throw
him into a wall or something. She does something to
get rid of him. I forget what it was.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 1: Charles apologizes to Jeanne and then she forgives him. She's like,
you gave me a family or whatever. Buzzwords, Yeah great,
and she's like now I'm cool.
Speaker 2: With you.
Speaker 5: Sorry for making you walk up the stairs kind of funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry about that whole hobbling thing, and it's pretty
funny killing your sister ish character.
Speaker 2: Sorry about that new wheelchair. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: So then she finally gets phoenix mode and she lifts
the train off the tracks and then wrecks it everywhere.
And then she's still not like super orangey, but she's
turning everyone into dust, which is something she did in
the last stand.
Speaker 6: I guess that's why I had to be like Wolverine.
He's the only one who could get to her right
because everyone keep getting.
Speaker 1: Riding Because I guess she couldn't make adamantium into dust,
she could do everything else that was so dumb.
Speaker 6: He was like getting torn apart, but kept like healing
And is it the two forces were count.
Speaker 1: Honestly, how strong she was, she should have like eliminated
all his muscle and scanning the bone.
Speaker 2: Should have just felt like you wouldn't be able to.
Speaker 6: Reach out, or he would have looked like like an
army of darkness.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be great. Can you not compare once again?
Speaker 6: At times you've been like, yo, you've lost all respect
for me, bounces off.
Speaker 2: Me, now.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, she's just turning them all into dust, ripping
them all up, and then she shit talks Vuck and
launches her into space and then they do the whole
like you want this power taken, kind of like Hulk
two thousand and three.
Speaker 6: Like Scarlett Witch and Wana Vision. Yes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they go all the way up into space
and they blow up, and then, guys, you'll never believe it,
there's this phoenix shaped fiery image.
Speaker 4: Better late than never, better late than never.
Speaker 2: Why wasn't she on fire the whole?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, hey, with this our second attempt at
doing this right, we made you wait till the very
end to see the whole phoenix fiery thing.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, that sucks.
Speaker 7: At least they kept the sacrifice, like her sacrificing herself.
I'm happy they kept that instead of making it a
happy ending. I mean, yes, it's still the fucking voice over.
Speaker 1: And I also think they were planning on making this
a two parter or like continuing the story later on,
but at some point they should have known it was
not you're gonna do that, and while you're reshooting, you
should probably make this more definitive and go all out
with the phoenix stuff. Yeah, everyone's all said and crying.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: They renamed the school to Jean Gray's School for Gifted.
Speaker 5: What Yeah, was that absolutely?
Speaker 1: Not?
Speaker 8: Absolutely not yea was that not even like exactly exactly
the full school, not like the gym or something like that,
the ballroom.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we made a new wing. This is the Jean
Gray wing.
Speaker 4: The whole school is.
Speaker 6: Someone asks like, so, why is it called Jeen Gray.
It's like, so she was like killed by a villain
or something. Remember, Oh no, she killed Like so we
needed after her, the one who killed everyone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, the guy who wanted to kill her beast,
he's in charge of the school now, he's in charge
of the Jean Gray killed my girlfriend's.
Speaker 2: School for yes.
Speaker 1: And then Gene is like narrating while all this is happening.
She's like, we're not alone in the universe, something cosmic.
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Like you guys barely even really cared about the whole
alien thing. You were like, yeah, I guess there's aliens
now whatever. And then Magneto and Charles have a date
in Paris. I don't know how else to refer to this.
It looks like a dating and they're BFFs again, and
it's become full circle because Magneto is like, I want
to give you a home, which is Genosha.
Speaker 2: What is what is Magneto doing in Paris other than
looking for Charles?
Speaker 6: And it's dark knight rises every year I go to
Paris to a cafe and I want to see Xavier there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like, let's plate chess. Let's plate chess one
last time. And it's like, oh wow, we're best friends.
It's great. I love that.
Speaker 1: Magneto is like, I want you to come to my island,
which is a shanty town.
Speaker 2: We have no ramps.
Speaker 3: It's going to actually be a problem that I saw.
Speaker 1: Yeah, working on it. We're working on it. He's like,
is the ground paved? No, we didn't pave anything.
Speaker 2: Uh, have an off road wheelchair.
Speaker 5: As long as the wheelchairs full metal.
Speaker 2: He can just I have a doss that you lay
on and I can move her. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But yeah, while they're talking, we see Jeane entering into
the atmosphere.
Speaker 2: In the sky and then that's it.
Speaker 1: Fade to black, fade to black, fades of black on
the whole France, and the only thing we've seen since
then our alternate universe of the older actors coming back,
and we're gonna get more of it the earth.
Speaker 7: Because that's been a while. At this point, I'm guessing
she's just oh no.
Speaker 1: She went out of the space to blow up the
wait no, no, and that's it. That's the not counting
New Mutants and the Deadpool spin offs. That is the
end of the Fox X Men movies.
Speaker 2: How do we feel about it now?
Speaker 1: Crystal who fell asleep at the end of Yeah, is
this bad?
Speaker 2: Is it the worst? Isn't the worst?
Speaker 4: They shot a whole new Thord act for you millions
of dollars?
Speaker 1: Is this the mainline X Men movie?
Speaker 5: Yes, Yeah, it's not even that. It's just like it
was just so.
Speaker 6: I think that that is the cardinal sin, where it's
it's it's bad in so many ways, and then on
top of that, it's so boring. It's like the opposite
of what I was saying about Amazing Spider Man two
the other day. It's a horrible movie. At least it's
doing insane things. Yeah, I mean, it's got basically electric like.
Speaker 1: Been rapping during her theme music about how angry she did.
Speaker 6: If that was happening, I bet Crystal wouldn't have fallen
asleep watch Thank You. Yeah, it's.
Speaker 5: Nothing.
Speaker 6: It reminded me years ago. In my hometown. Once a month,
the YMCA would put on neon Nights and so everybody
from the middle school would go, and it was basically
a party. There's like one room with an obstacle course,
one room that had unlimited pizza and ice cream. That
was the room I was. Usually there was a dance room.
I only went in there one time. It was terrifying,
but it was great because once a month I could
pretend like I was invited to a party right here.
But then it was only for middle school. And then
in high school they did one more and I was like,
this is gonna be great. Nobody showed up. I was
like the only one.
Speaker 5: That still in the ice cream.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was so depressing. And that's how I feel
watching this movie, Like The X Men is done already,
Like what are we doing here?
Speaker 5: You feel like you have no friends watching this movie.
Speaker 6: I only feel that way while I'm watching the movie.
Speaker 2: Yeahwise, Meg, how do you feel about Dark.
Speaker 4: Was it?
Speaker 3: The lack of Wolverine was pretty big for me, and
I know, you know, Simon was like we can't put
him in.
Speaker 4: Can't have a fifty year old guy creeping on a
twelve year.
Speaker 2: Old put into it because he retired.
Speaker 3: That too, And even if they threw a boatload of
money out him, what you glad they didn't.
Speaker 4: I think the lack of wolvere In was a big
was a big loss.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But bottom line, do I have to watch this
movie again for a third time?
Speaker 4: I really don't want to.
Speaker 3: I have to watch it isn't the worst one, you know,
it could compete with X three, the.
Speaker 1: Mainline X Men movies, and it looks better than Apocalypse,
but Apocalypse is more entertaining. Yeah, it's that It's last
stand has some really good fights in it, no matter
how bad it is. For sure, this probably is technically
the worst one worst X Men themed movie of all time.
It's still X Men Origins Wolverine. That's like barely a movie.
It's like a joke thing.
Speaker 5: At least it's a joke thing. This isn't even a joke,
but I mean.
Speaker 1: I mean, like that's like it's embarrassing to even call
that a movie.
Speaker 6: At least, the cool montage at the beginning where you
see them going is not that cool. I'm gonna tweet
that later and be like, wow, the Wolverine great montage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no X Men Origins Wolverine that had the montage.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm trying to get it wrong, like, oh,
people try to keep up, Tony, where's your quick wit?
Speaker 2: That's okay, you know what you do the wrong one.
Speaker 1: And then I'll link to my review that I did
with Mitt and Riley that's aged really really well.
Speaker 2: I will link that.
Speaker 6: Then we can start a little cottage industry. I'll keep
doing these vague tweets and you just reply to them.
Speaker 2: Man, can you retweet our spam?
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Yes, more engagement.
Speaker 2: Of course, that'll help you.
Speaker 4: I'm always here to help you guys out.
Speaker 1: But ye're doing that with comics, like tweet this and
be like, oh man, I love Marvel's Civil War.
Speaker 3: I'll do it all like like English, like the back
of a bootleg movie. Yeah, but yeah, this movie felt
like you know, you're in a relationship with a girlfriend
and you know it's ending.
Speaker 4: You're not gonna try as hard winding diner.
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny.
Speaker 1: I did see this with the girlfriend at the time,
but things were winding down like then.
Speaker 2: COVID extended it. Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just you're not You're not as much in
love anymore, you know what's ending. So yeah, and distincts,
but uh, you know, hopefully we have the mc ux
men look forward to Jean Green spider Man.
Speaker 4: I'm all for it.
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, I love Jean Gray. Like her as a character.
Phoenix is a fantastic strong character, like I want to.
I want to see her more. I want to see
more of an original comic book. Jean Gray, we don't
have that.
Speaker 1: You remind me of Jean Gray, not the real one
that got the one that calls herself gobbling queen.
Speaker 2: That's your, that's your, That's.
Speaker 1: That's how I picture you, the cop I say, I
call everyone I referred to you as goblin queen to everyone.
Speaker 7: I thought you referred to me. It was way worse
than that. I'll take as a compliment. Whatever's happening right now,
I want like, I want Rogue, I want who else?
Speaker 5: Do I want? Scarlet, Witch, Rogue and Scared? I want
all three in a movie. Okay, really bad, my three favorites.
Speaker 1: Gil I'd never finished tagath all along? Are they bringing
Scarlet Witch back?
Speaker 6: I don't think there's anything in that show to indicate
they're going to But I'm sure they will.
Speaker 5: Okay, I mean we're in a thousand different universes. It's fine.
Speaker 1: Well it's doomsday and Secret Wars is gonna have everyone.
Apparently it's the big cameo. Fat They're not gonna do multiverse.
It's gonna be a cameo fest.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah, aren't they going to bring like which
McCall it, doctor with the gold Masks?
Speaker 6: What is it?
Speaker 2: James Marson's back with the Psyclops.
Speaker 6: Yeah, shooting a huge blast.
Speaker 2: I assume Jean's dead because Famka Jensen's like ask me.
Speaker 6: To be Yeah. I like, unless she's doing the thing
of like Andrew Garfield, I'm not in no way home.
The thing is, I don't think like dangling that, like
is Gene gonna be in the movie or not, it's
not gonna have the same impact. I think she's just
telling the truth that she's not in it.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I like to see her because, like, isn't
it I'd like to see you're getting her X Man
order man get two movies with her.
Speaker 5: Let's do it, two movies. Let's go.
Speaker 2: I swear to God.
Speaker 1: If she's not Jean Gray and Brandon Bay and she's
just a different intellig.
Speaker 6: Now I'm kind of hoping she isn't just to get
the reaction from everybody, like why did you just make
her gene?
Speaker 1: You know, you know what story they really need to do,
and obviously you know it's one of the most famous
X Men comics ever, the one where up Noxio the
clown goes to Kitty Pride's birthday party and they fit
the X Men face their greatest villain, the ice Cream Man.
He's a mute and who could turn into any flavor
of ice cream.
Speaker 2: That was their greatest battle. I have that comic out
of the hell.
Speaker 1: That comic came into my possession, like this is the
greatest comic came in a pile of somebody.
Speaker 5: The Dreadlocks guy in it too, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I knows that there's a drunk, obscene clown that annoys
the X Men and then an ice cream guy invades
the birthday part.
