I think 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.560 one of the best. It's got its problem, does it, 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.320 But I think one of the spot But I think 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.840 one of the best mutant movies that we have. In 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:07.160 the early nineteen sixties, Charles Xavier a groovy. He actually says, oh, 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.400 gvy baby, he's grooving. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:10.440 This is as. 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:16.600 Yes, a Austin Powers esque version of Charles Xavier. He is, 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.880 of course a rich kid. He joins forces with Nazi 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.440 hunter Eric Lencher and CIA agent. 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.639 Wow, that's happened. 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:32.119 To recruit the very first version of the X Men. 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:33.919 They do ask Logan to join. 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.680 He declined what he was up to He was busy. 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:39.960 He was like getting ready to go to Vietnam at 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:40.440 this period. 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.120 That later more on that like. 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:48.200 Opposing them is apparently x Nazi Sebastian Shaw of the 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:48.800 hell Fire. 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:50.640 Think why would you do? 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.280 Woh and his and his brotherhood of evil mutants so 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.440 though he does not call them. Shaw wants to start 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.880 World War three so that all the humans will die 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:05.320 and that radiation poisoning will jump start mutant hegemony. The 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.480 X Men of course stop them during the Cuban Missile crisis, 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.519 of course, and Magneto takes revenge on Shaw who killed 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:17.399 his family. Yeah, but Charles and Eric's partnership is fatally 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:22.200 torn apart and Charles is left sadly paralyzed. Also, we 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:26.680 get the reveal that Magneto's helmet was originally Sebastian Shaw's 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.160 and he just took it. Your thoughts about X Men 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:29.799 first class? 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.000 Okay, best of all, justice for Darwin. We all know 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:37.200 that's the worst part movie. Also, things that are fantastic 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:43.120 about this movie James McAvoy and Michael He's great Goose 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.400 two together they got the chemistry that set off a 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:50.360 whole new era of Charles Magneto shipping. I love that 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.080 Charles is very dumb in this movie. 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:58.200 He does not train the X Men. Also, he just gay. 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.720 They just send them in like. 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:05.120 It's a Cuban missile, just like go in r Ipter. Darwin, 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.600 as I said, should never have died. Havoc loved to 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.640 see him, read to see him. I'd love to see 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.360 him here. He will reappear in these movies as they 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.600 go on with a funny pillow up his shirt to 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.960 show that he's gotten older things. I still annoy me 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.920 about this movie, Mystique, Why why is she like going 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.479 to Charles's house Like she's like an Oliver Twist orphan. 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.440 Yeah, like a little sheep shooting Oliver Twist. 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:32.120 I did some foods a cheese and he's just like 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.279 he's just like, yes, you may live with me. 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:35.640 Now you are you could see yes. 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:39.320 You can take you are my m rich Yes, funny 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.760 to see Azazel here because it's like is he meant? 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:43.800 We didn't know at the time when we were like okay, 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:44.400 so is he not? 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.840 Cooler's dad also, like Mystique say, like, what's going on there? 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:49.520 Obviously have to say yeah. 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.400 Of course they'll have to have to mention Azazel. In 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:57.200 the comics, I think he came out like the two thousands, 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:01.400 sometimes like two thousand and tens. He had his origin 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:08.479 and then was in Cannon Nightcrawler's Dad until like this 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:13.000 year changed very recently, but when it came out, we 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:17.839 were like. 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.760 Also so other things that I thought good about this movie. 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:21.640 That always make me go like, oh my god, I 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.920 can't believe they did that. The origin of Charles's paralysis 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.000 where it's like during the Cube stopping the Cuba missile crisis, 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.600 Magneto accidentally set a bullet to Charles's back and then 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.040 he and they're holding each. 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.480 Other and he's like, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.080 I was fantastic. 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:41.720 Like to me, I will say that this is actually 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.600 like I do think at the time, I was like 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:44.800 so blown away by it. 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:46.000 But this has been. 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.760 Trumped in my favorite when I look back of the 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:53.040 best ones actually by the one that we'll talk about next. 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.160 But it is still up there, very it is. It 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.560 is still it's very, very good. 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.960 But the times I think something we have to say 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:06.200 is at the time this was like revolutionary post x three, 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:07.520 we didn't know what's happening. 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:11.240 My expectations were nil below the ground. Yeah, we're nothing. 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.000 I did not think First Class would be good, and 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:13.479 I loved it. 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.400 And at the time there was kind of this talk 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.719 of Mark Miller was gonna the comics creator, was gonna 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.120 come and take over the Fox movies. Matthew Vaughnis, his 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.600 friend Matthew Vaughan wrote and directed this with the help 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.559 of some other people. So this was definitely like felt 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.680 like it could be a restart for the franchise. And 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.040 also there's just some funny stuff here where you can 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.160 really tell they're trying to take from the MCU, like 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.360 the Origin of Cerebro where it's like. 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.919 It's so grounded and real. No it's not, it's not. 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:41.479 Come on. 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:47.480 Also, I gotta say I'm annoyed that Magneto stole his 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.560 helmet from Sebastian show. I don't love that so silly. 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.000 I think that's really really fucking silly. And it would 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.960 have been much cooler if Magneto, even though he was 0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:00.000 ostensibly allies and kind of friends with Charles. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:01.640 No, it makes sense that he would have made something 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:02.680 to protect him, made it. 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.320 On his own, just to be like, say the funk 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:04.680 out of it. 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.960 Also, Superducer Joe rightfully was like Darwin, some people might 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:10.160 not know why you're mad about that. 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.280 Okay, dollar, Okay, so let's yeah, please explain. So Darwin 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.440 can't die. 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.320 Power literally his whole power. 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:23.240 He evolved old Darwin because he evolves, right, So if 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:28.760 you confront him with heat, he will immediately instantly evolve 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:32.640 a resistance to that up to any level, right, because 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.480 who knows what the kind of evolution, what kind of 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.800 course it would take in his mutation. And so if 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:40.960 you as you saw in the movie, if you put 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.640 his head underwater, he will he will grow. 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:48.320 Gills, like you can't kill he is unkillable, and then 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.400 he shouldn't be costing someone like Eddie get Daggy is 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.559 such a great actor, and you're like, this is so cool. 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.560 This is someone who's been in you know, The Brising 0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:00.480 Full of sim Wahulk, Messiah Complex, Secret Invasion, He's been 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:01.160 on X Factor. 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.280 This man he was in dorn of X, the recent stuff. 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.320 He is like a legendary character who can always recur 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.760 and be around, and they just killed him off and 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.800 he was a black character in a movie which which made. 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.360 It feel really bad, like not great, really. 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.400 Bad And also like that is one of the recurring 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.240 issues that people have with this movie, which is wild 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:20.760 still very. 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:23.640 Well thought of. Everyone is always thinking about justice pause 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:25.600 that as we. 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:29.000 Go forward, one recurring theme will be even the best 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.520 X movies, there's no perfect exa no, no, Like the 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.640 best X movie probably doesn't rise to the level of 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.839 the five or seven best. 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.080 Consistency and the thoughtfulness. 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:46.839 Because also something I've watched First Class so many times now, 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.959 like definitely in the double digits. And something else that 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:51.920 kind of comes to is like they do the thing 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.199 where like the characters that join Magneto to be on 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:57.599 his like bad team, you get like the characters of 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.400 Color go over there always and you're always just like 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.040 could have been a bit more fully because pixy joints. 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:04.280 Yeah. 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:08.840 Also I love Zoe Kravitz, but like interesting, like there's 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.280 just so many choices that where it's like the character 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.480 is supposed to be like this really normal looking woman 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.160 and then you cast like the most beautiful woman of 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:17.760 the who. 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:25.000 By the way, gives a inert performance as even a 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.240 lot to go with, not given a lot why she 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.839 switches sides? Don't you don't ever feel it? That should 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:35.719 be a big moment. So really good movie but imperfect. Yeah, 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.559 and that brings us to our next movie, twenty fourteenths 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:45.200 X Men Days of Future Past. To avoid a dystopian 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:50.120 future twenty first century, Wolverine and the scraps of the 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:54.280 X Men concoct a mission to send Logan's mind back 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.559 into his body in the year nineteen seventy three, the 0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.880 year the Knicks last one an NBA time, especially for 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.319 I think that's I think that's why they picked that 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.880 is in prison for killing JFK. Spoiler, he did not 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.599 kill JFK, who was a mutant. He was trying to 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:11.600 protect JFK. 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:16.079 A fucking think about this all the time. Charles is like, 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:16.880 this is it. 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.599 He's like, you know, forget the fact that you paralyzed me, 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:23.320 like whatever else. He's like, I'm upset because how could 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:23.719 you do it? 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:24.880 How could you do it? 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:25.160 Eric? 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:30.800 And he killed and Charles I was trying to stop 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:32.920 the bullet. And he looks and he goes, he was 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.480 one of us, Charles, Charles. 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:41.560 His mutation was an ability to endlessly cheat on his wife. Yeah, 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:46.559 he could have endless affairs, Charles. It was amazing, all right. 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.199 So free Magneto. We must say that Logan, with the 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.600 help of Charles, no longer in a wheelchair because he's 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:55.000 taking wonder drugs that give him the use of his 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.640 legs back, but dead in his psychic ability. 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:01.520 Actually quite an interesting like rinkle like a. 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:08.480 Beast. And Magneto's son Quicksilver go and free Magneto from 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.839 prison in a set piece that I think is one 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:12.720 of the best set pieces in. 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:22.320 All the best in the MCU too. That specific so good. 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:27.640 It's just wonderful, wonder wonderful. Quicksilver then leaves the scene, 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:32.040 but now together the X Men plus Magneto stop Mystique, 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.560 now leading her own team from assassinating ball Over Trask, 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:39.280 who is the creator of the Sentinels. This stops the 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:43.120 Sentinel project. Trash goes to prison and the timeline is altered, 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.480 allowing the Xavier School for Gifted Children to flourish through 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:51.079 the eighties, nineties, and two thousand's. Magneto decides to run 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:55.520 away to live in Poland, and then the Stinger is 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:59.440 We see Apocalypse, his power rising back in the days 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.480 of H and E. We watch him build the Pyramids. 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.280 Your thoughts about X Men, Ok, he's a future past. 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.880 I think this is a really hard film story wise 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:09.520 to pull off, and I think they did a really 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:10.040 good Yeah. 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:11.719 When I was when I first saw this movie, I 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:13.520 was like, oh, justice for Katy Pride, because you know 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.240 it's Kitty who goes back in the original stories. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.160 And but I will say I actually think this movie 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:20.080 holds up very well. 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.439 I love the opening where we get they do like 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.000 a cold open where every X men gets killed, which 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.160 I think is really cool. You also get in this 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.120 Bishop love to see him blink. You get some really 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.959 cool X Men. You also get to see this kind 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.360 of future version of Magneto and Charles where they've come 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.800 back together as a team to kind of help. 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.120 I like the jeweling timelines. 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:46.800 I do think that Evan Peters is, like legit a 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.640 fantastic casting for Quicksilver, and I so bree that the 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:55.079 MCU was harmed by this representation because their representation was 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:58.280 not equal or near equal, even though. 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.520 I am Aaron Taylor, Aaron Taylor, John's I'm gonn Aaron 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.600 Taylor has super speed but could not avoid the bullets 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:05.200 exactly and then gets got. 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.160 And if you haven't seen this sequence, just go on 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:08.040 YouTube and watch it. 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.360 It's a sequence where Quicksilver goes around a kind of 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.840 kitchen in the prison and changes everything so that. 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.280 To the tune of Jim Croche's Time in a Bottle. 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.559 Which is also one of the best needle drops. And 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.959 it's just one or such a fun scene. 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.280 They have a lot of fun playing with the idea 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.760 that this is Magneto's son, and this kind of like 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.199 implications but not like the two of them kind of 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:34.520 realizing but not wanting. 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.199 To deal with it. I thought it was great, but 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.640 I still enjoy this movie. This has high rewatchability factor. 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:44.000 I completely agree. I think the dueling timeliness pulled off 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.079 really really well, adds a lot of tension to the story. 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:52.520 It's just fantastic. One more note, it features a cameo 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:57.079 by Chris Claire. Yes any opening congressional hearing scene, and 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:01.600 he has a line which is wild, So that is fun. 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.199 They can I think that that might be a couple 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.679 of other little comic book creators in that too. I 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.760 think they put together a little a little rost, so 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:12.960 that's always nice to see. 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.400 Another thing we're going to try and unwrap is to 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:20.920 continue this podcast, which requires us to run ads. Here's 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:39.080 one right now, Yeah, okay, we're back. So that takes 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:44.680 us through the early nineteen seventies history of Charles Xavier 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:48.560 and the X Men and Wolverine. We should note that 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.760 during the course of this movie, Charles stops taking his 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:58.080 legs drug and thus develops his psychic powers back, and 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:02.840 that brings us to two thousand and nines X Men 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:07.640 origins V We open it like different in the late 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.960 nineteenth century. Yes, we open in the late nineteenth century 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.840 early twentieth century or thereabouts, where a young mutant named 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:19.200 Logan runs away from his abusive family with a weird 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.840 older kid named Victor Creed, also a mutant. We discover 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.640 they then go on to fight in every single war 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.240 up to Vietnam. Shouts to Logan and Victor Creed for 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.480 fighting for the North during the Civil War. 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:34.200 Very happy to see that. 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:40.080 In the late seventies where they've been held in the 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:44.080 brig apparently because of their actions during the Vietnam War. 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.200 They're just hard to control, these two. They are then 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:51.560 recruited by WILLIAMS. Stryker, who's putting together a top team 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:55.640 of the world's best killers called the WEAPONEX Project. That 0:15:55.960 --> 0:16:02.360 project includes a young pre Deadpool Wilson played by Ryan Reynolds, 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.680 who is honestly the bright point of this movie. Like 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:09.280 his little dialogue parts when they're like going on flyo 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.560 off to missions, Logan eventually gets tired. The year is 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:16.160 now like nineteen seventy eight, seventy nine. Logan eventually gets 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:20.080 tired of just like murdering people around the world for 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.480 William Striker, so he quits. He moves to Canada, where 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.040 he falls in love with the mutant Silver Fox. Although 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.800 I don't think it's like obvious that she's a mutant. 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.440 Butted and suggested, yeah, it's employed. 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.200 He falls in love with Silver Fox, who is a 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:39.480 school teacher. Sabertooth then kills Silver Fox to get revenge. 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:43.480 Logan lets Striker lace his body without Americaan so that 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.720 he can do this crazy idea so that he can 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:50.880 get rid of Victor once and for all. But then 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:55.440 he finds out that actually Silver Fox is alive and 0:16:55.560 --> 0:17:00.320 that Victor Creed faked her death. Meanwhile, Logan and Victor 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:04.320 Creed team up to take out the super Weapon X 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:09.640 Ultimate Product, Deadpool, who has all the powers of various 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:14.159 young mutants, including Scott Summer's I Beams and the Healing Factor, 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:18.760 and he can teleport like either Blinker Nightcrawler. And the end, 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:23.159 Striker shoots Logan in the head with an adamantium bullet 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.719 and this causes him to forget All his memories are 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.000 shattered and he doesn't remember anything that he's ever done. 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:33.280 Your thoughts about this movie be ranged unhinged movie raged. 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.000 I love it. I do watch this movie like a 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:40.640 lot because it's actually it's also it's mos hilarious. 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.280 That is very funny. It's really funny funny. 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.800 There is a legendary scene in this movie, a legendary 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.760 in my house at least, but where Wolverine like he's 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.919 first getting the clause and he's like he's like running 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:54.919 around and he ends up in like these people's bond 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:56.680 and they're like, you can stay in our house, and 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:57.960 then he's like chopping. 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:01.720 Up the sing and just like so many comedic moments. 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:03.919 And I do think sometimes they were trying to be comedic, 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:05.440 but sometimes they definitely weren't. 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.320 Yeah, just absolutely wild that. 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:10.240 This was the route that they went, because you've got 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:11.920 to remember, at this point in time when they made 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.600 this movie, Wolverine is like the big seller of every 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.840 x Men movie. He's the big seller in all the comics. 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:18.960 A Wolverine movie, you would expect it to make a 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:21.120 lot of money. This movie did make a lot of money, 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:23.240 though it was not critically acclaimed, it did not have 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.600 like a great legacy. But it's just hilarious because when 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:28.720 you rewatch it, you're like guys, there's like fifty million 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:30.600 stories you could have done, and this is what you did. 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:34.159 Must shout out that something that we were all shocked 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.760 about and has been giving us much joy. That Aaron, 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:40.000 our super producer, told us Troy sevon is young logan. 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.280 That's I mean crazy stuff to look back and see 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:45.520 that that was pointed out to Aaron. You know what. 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:49.280 Other Yeah, yeah, Taylor Kitch as Gambit. 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:52.280 I want to say. Other notes. One thing that I 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.360 noted from watching all of these movies is you can 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:59.400 really date them by the casting. So for instance, Days 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:01.240 of Future Pa, you knew the Game of Thrones was 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.600 popping because Peter dinkla is bolevard test exactly. And then 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.879 here we are. You know that Friday Night Lights was 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:12.320 hitting on all cylinders because there is our guy, Taylor Kitsch, 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.200 who you know, Hollywood was thinking, is this guy movie? 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:19.439 This guy, let's see, Let's put him gambit, Let's put 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:21.600 him as gambit. Let's put him in the adaptation of 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:26.320 the sci fi classic John Carter, which bombed spectacularly, thus 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:31.480 ending Taylor Kitch's run as a potential movie star. Also, 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:35.320 we should note that David Harbor, Yeah, Stranger Things fame 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:38.760 auditioned for the role of the Blob, but was turned down, 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.720 apparently according to him, for being too fat, which is 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:42.760 crazy because. 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:48.000 Like Derange, again, the character is on the edge of 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:48.520 twenty ten. 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:49.400 What are we doing? 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.120 We go to make him less fat? He's the blow 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:53.600 up and it's like, no, dude, higher this guy. 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:55.359 But you know what, I'm glad David hob wasn't in 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:56.960 this movie because it probably would have been very hard 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:58.760 for him to get costs in Stranger Things and have 0:19:58.920 --> 0:19:59.800 the career that he did have. 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:02.920 Also, will I am in this movie? 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.440 Will this is another thing? This was the period when 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:10.040 we were like, kid, will I be a belief? We 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:11.119 weren't sure. 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:13.720 Also were not sure about it. 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:17.040 I also just like the sweet guy from Lord of 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:19.080 the Rings who's in this whose power is to like 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:20.120 turn on light bulb. 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.320 They were really trying some stuff in. 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:25.080 They were sure, Yes, Mary is in this? 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:25.680 Yeah? 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:29.280 Was it Pip or Mary? Mary trying to Yes, He's 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:32.480 like a con eventually ends up as a Carney. Other notes, 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.720 Silver Fox, Yes, one of Logan's true loves throughout his 0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:40.840 comics arc, has a crazy comics continuity as crazy as 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:43.440 these movies, some of which is reflected in the film, 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:46.080 so she was a Native American woman who loved Logan 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:48.480 in the early twentieth centuries. In the comics, she is 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:51.960 in the classical sense fridged by yes, and it's just 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:56.159 an absolute from the book definition of a fridging by Sabretooth. 0:20:56.560 --> 0:21:01.080 Beginning Sabertooth's longtime feud with Wolverine. She later shows up 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:04.960 as a CIA assassin who then flips sides and joins 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:08.879 Hydra and then resurfaces as part of the Weapon X program, 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:12.960 but she doesn't remember Logan, And I think there's no 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:16.000 canon explanation for any of this, But I think the 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:21.199 thing that's suggested is that the second Silver Fox who 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:23.800 shows up as a member of WEAPONX and doesn't remember 0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:26.920 Logan is like an impostor who has been brainwashing to 0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:30.000 thinking that she's Silver Fox. But like, how would they 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:33.640 know about Silver Fox? Specific doesn't make it doesn't make sense. 0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:36.840
