yeah i feel that. there’s whole memes about how his power is he can literally adapt to survive, like his power is he can’t die YET he’s the first one to die. love the movie but his death still bothers me.

2023-04-16 16:21:01 +0000 UTCThis is a good movie if you known nothing at all about the history of the X-Men and the characters. If you do, however, this is another bastardization of something great. I like this movie, and I hate it, both at the same time.

2023-04-15 22:49:12 +0000 UTCFor the record, Alex is Scott's younger brother. They messed up the ages dramatically for this movie.

2023-04-15 05:12:47 +0000 UTCYeah I love this movie so much. Charles and Erik's relationship is so good. I love that even though they are on opposite sides on how they should protect mutants from humanity, there is still such a deep respect for each other. They don't want the other to be hurt or anything, they just oppose each other when chaos ensues. I definitely can't blame Erik at all for why he went down his vengeful path. The things he's suffered, most people can't even imagine. There's lots of cool details about these new mutants. One of which you already caught on to. Alex Summers being related to Scott Summers. Another is the red teleporter, Azazel. You may have noticed that his power looked a little familiar. It looks a lot like Nightcrawler from X2. So the reason for that is that Nightcrawler is actually the son of Azazel and Mystique. He has the same tail and mutant abilities as his father, and the natural blue skin of his mother. One other detail is about Darwin. His powers are so much stronger than portrayed in here, and the man died too easily😅 So in the comics, Darwins, power will protect him by adapting to any situation if he's in danger. The only problem is, he doesn't have any control over it. But his power is practically limitless, since his mutation could help him in any way. For example, you remember Hela, the Goddess of Death, Thors brother, from Thor Ragnarok? Remember how powerful she was? Well, in the comics, Darwin once was fighting Hela with some other X-Men. She, as the Goddess of Death, has the power to literally just kill someone with her touch. So she laid hands on Darwin, and to save his life from her Death Touch, his mutation.... literally transformed him into a God of Death. He became as powerful as her and was immune to her power. Thats what his mutation can do. Change him, a human, into a God. So Darwin is really powerful and logistically he absolutely would've survived Alex's lasers. Next movie is The Wolverine! Can't wait for that one!

2023-04-15 04:47:50 +0000 UTCAs a kid he just exploded with anger. He couldn't control it. He was crushing everything with metal, like the guard's helmets. Bacon wasn't wearing a helmet, and probably no metal at all because he was able to plan ahead.

Andrew Polinski
2023-04-15 02:35:58 +0000 UTCNot sure about that one chief. I mean, who knows when he made the choice to, and plus.... Shaw isn't the only one to make him suffer? Like all of the former Nazis deserve his Wrath as far as he'd concerned. That makes plenty of sense when you think about characters who go to extremes like Magneto or Punisher.

2023-04-15 02:22:18 +0000 UTCNot only does Steve have a brother Alex, but in the comics their father Christopher spends a lot of time traveling the galaxy - and has a good friend named Peter Quill. You may know him as *music swells* Starlord.

2023-04-14 21:13:49 +0000 UTCIf they bring the X-Men in to the MCU I guess they will explain it as two universes merging. Suddenly retroactively they will have been a part of mutant history. To be honest I dont like the idea of X-Men in the MCU, only because when the world gets that crowded it becomes chaos. Metaphors get mixed, mutants hang out with magic spirits and enhanced people. Already the MCU has become more superheroes than just average people and it really stretches credibility and relatability.

2023-04-14 20:49:36 +0000 UTCAs much as I like SOME of this movie (Xavier/ Magneto being the highlight) there's a lot of cheese. I get thats a stylistic choice, I dont mind the editing or the conveniences, but the Banshee is challenging to enjoy. And Fassbender's Irish accent keeps coming through!! And there are scenes like Magneto in the concentration camp killing the guards, where I go as a rational person, Why doesnt he just kill the man that murdered his mother?? What does he do with Shaw for 20 years before deciding to kill him!? Its shallow plotting Personally I prefer X-Men Days of Future Past

2023-04-14 20:45:38 +0000 UTCSpoilers, Timeline. Original Timeline: X-Men First Class Days of Future Past (Past) X-Men Origins: Wolverine X-Men X2 Last Stand The Wolverine Days of Future Past (Future) Revised Timeline: X-Men First Class Days of Future Past (Past) X-Men Apocalypse X-Men: Dark Phoenix Deadpool 1 Deadpool 2 Days of Future Past (New Future) Deadpool 3? Logan X-Men first Class is intended to be part of both timelines yet it does contradicts the original X-Men trilogy.

2023-04-14 20:32:45 +0000 UTCThis film is heavily inspired by The X-Men #1 (September 1963) which featured The First Class of Mutants Charles Xavier, Angel, Beast, Cyclops, Iceman, and Marvel Girl also known as Jean Grey. I guess this explains the much more campy feel of this film which I personality adore plus I would say that this film along with Days of Future Past are the most classic X-Men comic feeling films releasing at a time when the MCU was pretty big just a year before the Avengers so studios were starting to open up to the more colourful superhero costumes and more focus on the characters themselves. I still think Days of Future Past is my favourite X-Men film but I've always liked First Class mostly because of James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender who are great together, would've actually loved to see them in the MCU as these characters. James also shows a side of Professor X we've never seen in the films, Charles can be a dick at times in the comic's with the term "Professor Xavier is a Jerk" being spoken by Jean Grey a few times. I also liked how this film is a much better introduction to these characters actually spending time with rather than focusing all on Logan and no one else even if I wish we got more personal deep chats around the characters and not the plot. The setting is also an aspect I love we really do need more superhero period movies something Watchmen does really well. In the comic's the X-Men were formed in the 1960s and operated throughout the following decades with each decade bringing in a new roster of hero's. Pretty much all of these could be made into whole period movies within the MCU I guess they'd just have to explain where were The X-Men and mutants in general within the MCU kind of like how Spider-Man just popped out of nowhere in Civil War. On you're confusion with the timeline this film is loosely seen as a reboot even though it connects heavily to the older movies which you'll understand once you watch Days of Future Past. I have a theory but I can't say what that is as it could spoil Future Past for I'll hold off on it. Pretty much in X-Men Last Stand and X-Men Origin: Wolverine we see Charles walking in the flashbacks while here in the 1960s we see how Charles lost the ability to walk a big retcon, so it is a bit confusing for now.

2023-04-14 20:30:59 +0000 UTCThis one, is one of the better X-men movies.. but keep in mind they really screwed up the timelines and stuff will not make sense moving forward. Better to just have this has a seperate second/third timeline than trying to piece stuff together from the older movies.

2023-04-14 20:27:13 +0000 UTCIf Addie was referring to James Marsden's character Scott Summers as 'Steve', she may have watched his character Steve Wood in Netflix's "Dead To Me".

2023-04-14 19:57:05 +0000 UTCYeah save yourself a headache and try not to connect anything in these movies they are all different realities lol

2023-04-14 19:37:04 +0000 UTCThis movie was phenomenal, I love the retro vibes they really captured that well. One of the best superhero origin movies.

2023-04-14 19:15:04 +0000 UTCYay! This was the first X-Men movie I really liked! Looking forward to seeing your reaction.

2023-04-14 18:31:53 +0000 UTCI honestly think that the theatrical cut flows better and has better pacing. When you factor in that it's the more universal option for people to watch, personally, I'd rather she react to the normal version.

2023-04-14 17:08:12 +0000 UTCYou're not alone. Deadpool 1 & 2 and Logan are the three R-rated Marvel movies that I would love to see Addie watch when she gets there.
Alex Tan
2023-04-14 16:21:19 +0000 UTCFrom this point forward pay no attention to the names or faces you recognize, we are officially on our third alternate timeline/dimension in the X-Men universe. This isn't the history of the characters in the previous films. The movies connect as well to each other as Lego and Duplo. But fun can still be had.

2023-04-14 16:20:08 +0000 UTCNiiice. gonna watch this later today. okay so i’m going to be in the minority here and lobby for the Rogue Cut of “X-Men: Days of Future Past”. it’s kinda the first and last time we get to see Rogue in action (who I consider one of the original X-Men in the films). The Rogue Cut is a lot more rewarding of an experience, especially if you like the character and have been a fan since part 1. The disadvantage is that it’s only available on Prime video, so I totally get why ppl don’t or won’t watch it. Either way, I love Days of Future Past. It’s my fav X-Men movie and im so psyched that one is next.

2023-04-14 16:16:01 +0000 UTCAm I the only one watching these because I want to see Addie get to Deadpool and Logan? Logan especially. 😂

2023-04-14 16:14:45 +0000 UTCHappy Friday, Addie. You've finally started the X-Men prequel series. This one is directed by Matthew Vaughn. Speaking of him, I also suggest Layer Cake (2004), Stardust (2007), Kick-Ass (2010), Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014), Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017), and The King's Man (2021). #MoreMatthewVaughnForAddieCounts

2023-04-14 16:12:22 +0000 UTCYes! Finally got here! One of my favourite comic book movies of all time for sure
