0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:04.160
<v Speaker 1>On today's episode, we are reacting to the Marvel D

0:00:04.320 --> 0:00:08.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty three panel as well as ranking our top twenty five.

0:00:08.480 --> 0:00:09.560
<v Speaker 2>X men will.

0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Hello, My name is Jason Concepcion and I'm Rosy night,

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 1>and welcome back to X Revision, the podcast where we

0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:31.360
<v Speaker 1>dive deep into your favorite shows, movies, comics of pop

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.199
<v Speaker 1>culture company from my heart, where we're bringing you three episodes.

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 2>A weekday last days on Saturday.

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 3>And guess what, guys, get a little secret news right now,

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 3>because if you listen to our news episode of last week,

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 3>you had me doing a midnight missive on my couch

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.440
<v Speaker 3>from D twenty three to make sure that we were

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 3>not behind on those updates. But you did not get

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 3>to me and Jason chop up that X Men casting.

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 3>You did not get to it to us. Respond to

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 3>the Internet's response, which was, you know, notoriously terrible as always,

0:00:57.680 --> 0:00:58.960
<v Speaker 3>But I'm very excited about this.

0:00:59.000 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait to talk about this.

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 3>Of course, me and Jason have been waiting for years

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 3>to tell you about a top twenty five X men

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.559
<v Speaker 3>without it being a diverudgent topic from a different movie.

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, this is it. Maybe.

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>But first let's go to the headlines. And the big

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.199
<v Speaker 1>news from D twenty three, which is the ex cast

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.319
<v Speaker 1>has been at least partially announced. We don't know how

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 1>many more people. We don't know how many more people

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 1>are going to be announced later on, but they did

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>announce a good core of names and it's I think

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>super exciting. So we already know that Sadie Sink is

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.479
<v Speaker 1>Jean Gray. Saty Sink as Jean Gray was brought out

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>to the stage. Kid Connor announced as Scott summer Cyclops

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>that had weaked previously. Christopher Abbott is our first hot

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Charles Xavier. Although yes, you could say McAvoy, we've had

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>a hot Charles before.

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 3>I would also say the big thing here that I

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 3>think people are really excited about is that christ Babbott.

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 3>His dad is Caribbean, so this is also like our

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 3>first kind of you know, person of color Charles, Charles,

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 3>the first matiracial Charles that the people are excited about it.

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 3>That was a big new surprise because the big rumor

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 3>going into this had been potentially that scar'sguard had been

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 3>on tap for I think that would have been about

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 3>a magneto casting.

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 2>So I can still wait for that. Chris Abbot.

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, great, surprise Indie kind of darling one of our

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 3>big we hadn't heard about it in the trades. Officially

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 3>castings from that night.

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:36.359
<v Speaker 1>Samorrow Weaving am a frost that at least fantastic as

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Emma in a white dress.

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 2>She knew what she was doing.

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Breakout Star of Obsession, Indian Ever Ready as Roague.

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, that was again huge because she'd actually been out

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 3>there asking for mystique. We weren't sure if Kaylee Spenny

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.919
<v Speaker 3>had got rogue. That we had heard that Charles Melton,

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 3>her Beef Coast, had turned down Beasts, so maybe she

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 3>also chose to turn it down. But I love this casting.

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 3>I think it's going to get the kids to the cinema.

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 3>I think Indy's amazing. If you haven't seen her, she

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 3>played a similar to Obsession role in the CW Superman

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 3>and Lois Show, in which she really shone and allegedly

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 3>is where she got picked for Obsession. So yeah, I'm

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.919
<v Speaker 3>very excited to see her in that role. And that

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 3>to me also implies that we're going to get kind

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 3>of crazy superpowered death, you know, stealing Captain Marvel's powers.

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Rogue if you cost me in d.

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 3>Maya Boid huge because not named at all as a

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 3>potential in the lead.

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Up Maya boid is o Romanroe Storm huge. I mean

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>this is our first Broadway trained storm. Very excited about.

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 3>This, very x Men animated ninety seven coded right to

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 3>have the thespian storm.

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>And then the big reveal Adam Driver as mister Sinister

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Nathaniel Milberry slash Nathaniel Essex. I guess yes, I think

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>we know that it's Milbury and not Essex.

0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 2>I think it we know that because that is what.

0:03:58.240 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 2>So the way that.

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 3>The present went down was we all learned that clearly

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 3>Adam Driver spent the Star Wars money and they convinced

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 3>him to come back. And we love that because he's amazing.

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 3>He brought so much gravitask to Kylo Ren he's funny.

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 3>But what we learned through his video where he was

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 3>on the Pinewood studios, they obviously need him there the

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 3>costuming or to get ready. So he was like, oh,

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't you know? I thought I was supposed to

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 3>be here. And he was like, so I'm playing Magneto. Oh,

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 3>actually more exciting, I'm playing Nathaniel Milbury. Now I think

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.280
<v Speaker 3>the reason he chose to say that is a because

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 3>the MCU loves to use like a deeper cut name,

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 3>but also because if you say Nathaniel Essex there would

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 3>have been more of a response. Hilariously, my TikTok video

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 3>does capture me being the only one who knew what

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 3>that meant, and then I spent the next hour explaining

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.279
<v Speaker 3>to everyone else who he was who kept asking me. So, yeah,

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 3>I think that's banger casting. I did not see Adam

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.719
<v Speaker 3>Driver as Miss Magneto. That Rima was crazy to me.

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 3>I think him as mister Sinister.

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Is uh may Zing. Yeah, I will say Jason.

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.359
<v Speaker 3>To be in the room for this was pretty special.

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 3>It was giving hale h like the kids were excited.

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 3>I think Maya, who is also an incredible singer who

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 3>we have seen in Merrily We Roll Along, and most

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 3>famously I think was and Juliet, and I just think

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 3>that this is a young, interesting cost of character actors

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 3>from interesting projects.

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 2>It's giving phase one and that's what they needed to do.

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 3>This is not like crazy stunt casting. This is some

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 3>shit is going to go down in upstate New York.

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:35.479
<v Speaker 1>I am quite intrigued by what a Mister Sinister X

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>movie could mean. And I think here are just some

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 1>stray thoughts that passed through my head. Love it was

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>watching this reveal one. I think there's a world in

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>which Milberry and Charles. That Milbury's character kind of overlaps

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:56.479
<v Speaker 1>with comic book Moira, meaning that Charles and he are

0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 1>like co researchers into the mutant issue.

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:05.040
<v Speaker 3>It feels like also they could be working together to

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:09.840
<v Speaker 3>try it right, get rid of Spider Man's mutant inhibitor,

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:11.599
<v Speaker 3>or make something against it.

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:13.919
<v Speaker 2>I feel like there's some kind of science element that

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 2>could I.

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Bet you it will not be that. I think, I

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:22.160
<v Speaker 1>bet you it will be something like Charles is interested

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 1>in mutants and maybe is a in the closet mutant himself,

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>using his powers and fits and starts. No Cerebro yet,

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 1>but he's just trying to understand mutation and maybe help

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 1>young mutants like himself, like navigate the world. He meets

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Nathaniel Milberry or knows of him because they are partners

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 1>in researching the mutant issue. Milbury is running a like

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:55.359
<v Speaker 1>an orphanage or some sort of state school hospital where

0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Scott Summers is like has come through there. That's like

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.039
<v Speaker 1>he would have own about him already and that the

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 1>crux of the movie again, this is just what I

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>think it guesses, is Charles slowly uncovering that Nathaniel Milberry

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 1>has a different plan going on, Yester sinister plan that

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 1>is too. I mean, in the comics, he's basically obsessed

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>with uniting the gray in Summer's bloodlines to create the

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 1>super mutant Messiah.

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, it would be interesting if we met Nathaniel

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 3>Milbray as perhaps like a professor or an assistant to

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Professor X, you know, kind of like honestly, again, Marvel.

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Likes to reuse beats.

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 3>It's sort of what they tried to do with Sentry

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 3>and Bob, but we all knew because of the comics.

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 3>I wonder if there's a version where, you know, mild

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 3>mannered Professor Adam Driver is a really fun comparison to

0:07:54.520 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 3>completely flambuoyant, flaming mister Sinista, who's like, you know, imagine

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 3>if you were the local you know, what do they

0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 3>call it, like a school nurse. Imagine if Nathaniel Milbery's

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 3>they're like taking blood, checking in on the kids the

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 3>whole time. He's that motherfucker's taking their DNA like he's

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 3>melding that shit.

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 2>He's making fucking clones.

0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, we know they've established that there is now

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 3>an underground allegedly illegal but we know Damage Control was

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 3>working with the government, but Mitzger was experimenting on kids,

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 3>on mutant kids like that is cannon.

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 2>So you know, there's many ways they could go with

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.680
<v Speaker 2>mister Sinister. I also think it's really clever. There have

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 2>been lots of rumors right now, will Magneto be Jewish?

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 3>Will they be able to continue that storyline, will they

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 3>be able to keep him as a Holocaust survivor? But

0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 3>just skip the drama, babe, Just don't put him in

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 3>there right now, and wait till you get the perfect version,

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.959
<v Speaker 3>the perfect writer to make something special.

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I also think there's a world in which Sinister is

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 1>behind the MCU version of Weapon X, and that that's

0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>how we That's.

0:08:58.800 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Why I was gonna say.

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Because also, if you look at the previous X Men movies,

0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 3>right they even do one of them, I believe it's.

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Like there's a future. No, I think it's apocalypse.

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 3>Unfortunately X Men Apocalypse, the movie I do believe has

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:16.320
<v Speaker 3>a tag at the end after Beautiful Santa Stark. Jean

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 3>Gray meets Logan Wolverine terrible choice and kind of helps

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.080
<v Speaker 3>him and they psychically connect. At the end, there is

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 3>a tag of like a Mister Sinister, kind of a

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Nathaniel Essex suitcase, so like this is something they've wanted

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.400
<v Speaker 3>to do before. There are probably scripts going around, there

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.960
<v Speaker 3>are probably concepts. I wonder if at any point in

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.679
<v Speaker 3>Logan when they were doing that stuff, they'd considered kind

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.720
<v Speaker 3>of a grounded mister Sinister. There's so many interesting ways

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 3>to go with it. And also, Jason, if we think

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.600
<v Speaker 3>about mister Sinister as like a mutant villain, and we

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 3>think about the in my opinion justified rampage of Geen

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Gray and New York recently, we are establishing a set

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.200
<v Speaker 3>of characters who could really be fucking pissing off the

0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 3>human status quo in the MCU around heroes.

0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 1>I also think that if if you think about it

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 1>like as a new type of Phase one launch, but

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 1>this oriented around the ex universe, Sinister could be like

0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the Phase one villain, with Apocalypse being the later villain

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 1>as you discover like, oh, how did Sinister get his powers?

0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.199
<v Speaker 1>Et cetera. I also think other thought, I think that

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Rogue will start as a villain. Agree, I think she

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 1>will be in mister Sinister's orbit. I also wonder if Sinister,

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:38.679
<v Speaker 1>in seeking to like purify the mutant bloodlines, m launches

0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the MCU version of a mutant massacre to kill like

0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:51.440
<v Speaker 1>powered mutants who were powered not by evolutionary selection. They're

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:55.840
<v Speaker 1>like mutates like Deadpool, like Spider Man, and he's like,

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>these are impure mutants and we got to kill them.

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Wow, kind of like no more mutant, Miss Marvel or something. Wow,

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 2>that could be incredible.

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 3>Actually, Jason, I think you might be onto something there

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 3>because think about a great way to have Kamala be

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 3>in there is we know that she is both a human,

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.600
<v Speaker 3>she is both an inhuman and a mutant, so there

0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 3>is a chance where she can essentially like survive, you know,

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.440
<v Speaker 3>so that she could be the one who is able

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 3>to do Wow.

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I love this. I think that is really just a

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:28.439
<v Speaker 2>great call. And also I gotta say it.

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.320
<v Speaker 3>Feels weird to feel excited about the MCU again like

0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 3>in this way.

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Yea, But I really I love the logo.

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 3>I think it looks so different, this kind of like

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 3>down to earth, almost like Sentinel esque. Also, we got

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:42.200
<v Speaker 3>to talk about it Another thing that came out at

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 3>this d twenty three was the kind of It was

0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 3>essentially the trailer that we had heard about for Doomsday,

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 3>but it was so much better than the ones that

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 3>we had officially seen. It has the Soux Storm voiceover,

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 3>which is nice because no women talked in the last

0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 3>one talking about Victor and everything. But the real reason

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.560
<v Speaker 3>we have to talk about this context is at the end,

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 3>Victor says two things. He says, you have lived stolen lives,

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.079
<v Speaker 3>and now you have to give them back, which is

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.880
<v Speaker 3>obviously our incursion. He's come to stop this kind of

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.199
<v Speaker 3>different version he sees because they stopped Fanos, an endgame

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 3>I think is going to be an issue because they

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 3>killed a different version of Thanos. And interestingly, the end

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.720
<v Speaker 3>of the movie is he says something along the side

0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 3>of like oh, Thor says to him, you're gonna wish

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 3>you were in Hell once you'd gone through me or something,

0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:35.200
<v Speaker 3>and Doom says Hell stands with Doom and pulls Sentinels

0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 3>out of the ground.

0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:38.559
<v Speaker 2>So at least in.

0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 3>Doomsday we are going to get a version of the

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.960
<v Speaker 3>comics accurate Sentinels, right and they So this is again

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 3>another reason why I think all of this X Men

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 3>stuff is laying the groundwork, Kevin Faggy said at Doomsday

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 3>at the Doomsday trailer reveal at d twenty three, this

0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 3>is the first time you'll ever see the Avengers the

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:03.559
<v Speaker 3>Fox X Men, and you know, are the Marvel heroes

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.640
<v Speaker 3>like fighting together on screen, you know? And I thought

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:07.839
<v Speaker 3>it was very specific that they were still calling them

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.439
<v Speaker 3>the Fox x Men. So I think I really do

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 3>finally believe that Doomsday will say goodbye.

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:13.640
<v Speaker 2>To that era.

0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:15.960
<v Speaker 3>I didn't believe it because I think that this is

0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.720
<v Speaker 3>money for them. But I think you are right, Jason.

0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 3>I think your likelihood of people dying is high, and

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.200
<v Speaker 3>I think this is an X Men cost that is

0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.760
<v Speaker 3>so solid it actually could carry the next ten years.

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that. I think that if Figy has

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:35.160
<v Speaker 1>a strategic plan, it's to use, as I've said before,

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.080
<v Speaker 1>use Doomsday and Secret Wars as like a soft reboot

0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:44.880
<v Speaker 1>to kind of usher the past Avengers and cast members

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 1>off the stage in a way that like it really

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:52.320
<v Speaker 1>squeezes all the juice that's left in the Orange out

0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.400
<v Speaker 1>right and then reorient the world around the X Men.

0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that there's, you know, a possibility that whatever

0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 1>happens to the universe the timeline post Secret Wars like

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>really accelerates mutation. Like obviously there are mutants already in

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the world. That's happened, and Sadie Sincas Jean Gray already exists.

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 1>We don't know if Charles is already here or to

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 1>what extent a school if it does exist in he's very.

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:25.120
<v Speaker 3>Young, so right, I think whatever it is, we're seeing

0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 3>the baby stages.

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>But what I'm saying is it might be that after

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Secret Wars, suddenly the mutant issue comes to the forefront

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 1>because there's so many mutants being born.

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 3>Now, I think you're right, let's go a little deeper

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 3>into theories because we've been waiting all this time for.

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 2>The X Men.

0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 3>I also wonder if that could even happen at the

0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 3>end of Doomsday, because our current theory is like the

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:52.440
<v Speaker 3>Doomsday will end with Battleworld. Right, if you think about

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 3>the psychic and you know, physical impact of a thousand cities,

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 3>thousand universes being slammed together into a single world, that

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 3>seems like something where you could very easily argue that

0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:08.119
<v Speaker 3>that could.

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Enhance mutant space. Also, like this is crazy. I don't

0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 2>think they're going to do this, but if they wanted to,

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:17.320
<v Speaker 2>there is a.

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 3>Version where the X part of battle World is just

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:25.320
<v Speaker 3>Krokoa or Genosha or somewhere when everyone is basically protected

0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:29.160
<v Speaker 3>empowered in a way that kind of allows there to

0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 3>be a very hardcore mutant element. I don't think they're

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.280
<v Speaker 3>going to do it with like a Crocoa, because I

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.320
<v Speaker 3>think that will be another era. But I do think

0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 3>you're right, Jason. I think there's going to be a

0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 3>reason and a space for many more mutants.

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 3>I will also say, remember, we know that there is

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:48.720
<v Speaker 3>at least like a very kind of standard amount of

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 3>like medium powered, like three D man level mutants because

0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:54.200
<v Speaker 3>of Sheehok.

0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 3>I wonder if something happens with Secret Wars or Doomsday

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:02.920
<v Speaker 3>where we essentially whatever starts the spike in mutant births

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 3>is also a spark in secondary mutations, because then we

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 3>could essentially say, hey, look there were Yeah, you've seen

0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:13.680
<v Speaker 3>this guy who's like he can jump off a building

0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.400
<v Speaker 3>and survive. He's a skin stretchy or whatever. But in

0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.880
<v Speaker 3>the secondary mutation version, suddenly these people who had like

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 3>weird powers suddenly have great powers or scary powers or

0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.960
<v Speaker 3>a mega level powers. I think they could do something

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.680
<v Speaker 3>really interesting with that, especially because we are obviously gonna

0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:34.040
<v Speaker 3>learn around about how mutation works alongside the MCU because

0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 3>we were learning about it with Bill Metzka.

0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I think that Well, here's my other thought about Sinister

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 1>is that Sinister is not like you don't have a

0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.280
<v Speaker 1>big showdown with mister Sinister at the end of a

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.120
<v Speaker 1>movie or a comic book arc. He's not like a brawler.

0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 1>You're not gonna sit there and f macinator. He's a machinator.

0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 1>He's a planner, which is why I feel like whether

0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:04.000
<v Speaker 1>it's I mean, immediately my mind goes to Marauders like

0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 1>he must he will have assembled some team of mutant killers.

0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:10.240
<v Speaker 2>I think.

0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 3>I think Marauder is pretty honestly pretty safe get bet

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.400
<v Speaker 3>because at d twenty three they had a night Crowller

0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:21.280
<v Speaker 3>in his like pirate swashbuckling era, and that's very inherently

0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 3>connects me to that kind of Marauder space.

0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Which is why I think when you mentioned like from

0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, she helped these kind of like mid level

0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 1>mutates and mutants. Again, if it is a mister Sinister

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:39.080
<v Speaker 1>who wants to so in the comics, the reason and

0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't revealed for like fifteen years.

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Mm hm.

0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.639
<v Speaker 1>You never knew why Sinister launched the mutant massacre, and

0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:46.920
<v Speaker 1>then like fifteen years later, in continuity, you figured out

0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:50.880
<v Speaker 1>it's because like one of his acolytes stole his research,

0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.440
<v Speaker 1>and that's how the Morlocks basically started, as like they

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:58.040
<v Speaker 1>mutated because of like this stolen mister Sinister research, and

0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:02.240
<v Speaker 1>he basically wanted to like cleanse his IP, you know,

0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:05.199
<v Speaker 1>like kill everybody who had stolen his bootleg stuff and

0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.320
<v Speaker 1>create a bootleg mutants. And so I think that there's

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.760
<v Speaker 1>a world in which some of these mid range mutants

0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:16.080
<v Speaker 1>currently existing in the MCU were mutated with stolen or

0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:22.040
<v Speaker 1>bootleg and Nathaniel Millbury research, And so he launches the

0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:27.119
<v Speaker 1>mutant massacre to just kind of clear the decks of

0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna and purify his research.

0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll bate the discord go crazy with this one.

0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna make you go crazy because Jason, you blow

0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 3>in my mind because you know what the MCU does

0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:39.520
<v Speaker 3>not have does not have a fucking Norman Osborne. We

0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 3>don't know who's fucking spider bit spider Man, right, we

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.680
<v Speaker 3>don't know whose research was the research.

0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:46.640
<v Speaker 2>That would be let us crazy.

0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 3>Like I'm not saying it's gonna be Nathaniel Milbury, but

0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.080
<v Speaker 3>I think now that you're talking about this idea of

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.800
<v Speaker 3>almost like how he was in the Krakoa era, which guys,

0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:58.000
<v Speaker 3>is so fucking funny, but he was like it was

0:18:58.160 --> 0:18:58.880
<v Speaker 3>very much.

0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:00.960
<v Speaker 1>He should do an episode where we should do an

0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:04.720
<v Speaker 1>episode about I mean, we could do an entire crocoa

0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:07.680
<v Speaker 1>series of podcasts because there's so much to dig into.

0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.720
<v Speaker 3>But I would also say a lot of what they

0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.040
<v Speaker 3>were drawing on there was this kind of concept and

0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:18.560
<v Speaker 3>throughout his history has been this concept of fun agricultural diversion. Here, guys,

0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:26.040
<v Speaker 3>but how corporations will create certain strains of seeds, copyright them,

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:29.480
<v Speaker 3>and then if the seeds are blown into other farms

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.919
<v Speaker 3>by the nature of the wind, they will sue the

0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:36.240
<v Speaker 3>farm for stealing the copyright. And I think that is

0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:39.000
<v Speaker 3>a really good way to look at mister Sinister and

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.400
<v Speaker 3>the way he sees mutant DNA is it is kind

0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.000
<v Speaker 3>of his ip that he can fuck around with. That

0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:47.120
<v Speaker 3>is going to be so fun to see Adam Driver

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:50.159
<v Speaker 3>do that. Also, think about so many people sent this

0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:52.800
<v Speaker 3>to me and added me on the day that they

0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:55.560
<v Speaker 3>announced this, But think about that SNL skit with Adam

0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:59.840
<v Speaker 3>Driver where he plays the undercover boss version of Kylo.

0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:02.760
<v Speaker 2>This is a man who's actually very fucking funny.

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.200
<v Speaker 3>If you've seen the Jim John Moush movie Dead Don't Die,

0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:08.720
<v Speaker 3>He's gonna be Murray. I think the comedy chops of

0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:14.080
<v Speaker 3>Sinister him, mixed with the absolute ability to break your

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.600
<v Speaker 3>heart when he has like that moment with his dad

0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:20.400
<v Speaker 3>in the first Star Wars sequel movie, Force awakens him

0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:22.840
<v Speaker 3>and hand on that bridge, you know what's gonna happen

0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:24.960
<v Speaker 3>every single time, and you still believe that he might

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.800
<v Speaker 3>not do it like that gravitas mixed with his comedy

0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.840
<v Speaker 3>chops could make this a generational tiar casting.

0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna be great. And if it is Marauders,

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.800
<v Speaker 1>because again, who do the X Men fight? Obviously they'll

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:37.440
<v Speaker 1>fight each.

0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:40.159
<v Speaker 2>Other and the Avengers at some point or a right.

0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 1>But in this movie, who do they fight? Sinister is

0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:48.440
<v Speaker 1>not again, the type of villain that you have this

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:52.480
<v Speaker 1>all out brall with and so I do it leads

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:55.280
<v Speaker 1>me to believe like he will have hench people and

0:20:55.359 --> 0:21:00.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe that means Marders. And here's my one concern of

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:05.720
<v Speaker 1>this cast, which I love. If Indy doesn't have the

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Southern accent, don't force it.

0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:11.920
<v Speaker 2>I think. I think it's fine. I'm not worried about it.

0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:15.440
<v Speaker 2>She's didn't have the but it's fine.

0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:17.560
<v Speaker 3>You know what, She's done a CW, she was in

0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:19.600
<v Speaker 3>this W for a while. She's done a bunch of

0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 3>different little indie movies, so I actually think she's gonna

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.240
<v Speaker 3>be a bit of a chameleon. I didn't give it

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:28.040
<v Speaker 3>a try, but yeah, if it doesn't work, obviously, I'm

0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:30.920
<v Speaker 3>excited to see the wigs because this is some characters

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:35.440
<v Speaker 3>who have hair, like the Rogue hair, the Storm hair options,

0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:39.320
<v Speaker 3>the Adam Driver hair options, also Christopher Abbott. Are we

0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:41.600
<v Speaker 3>gonna get Charles with hair again? Is this gonna be

0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:42.960
<v Speaker 3>a James McAvoy situation.

0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:45.280
<v Speaker 2>I think he could look good bold. I'm feeling like

0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:47.200
<v Speaker 2>I might buzz cut my hair. Guys, I got two.

0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Hours sleep on like fucking Saturday Sunday night, so I'm

0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:52.320
<v Speaker 3>like I was trying to buzz cut my hair yesterday,

0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:54.920
<v Speaker 3>thinking a Charles Xavier. There's gonna be some great wigs,

0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:56.440
<v Speaker 3>some crazy Jean Gray hair.

0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:58.199
<v Speaker 2>Also Jason, I want to.

0:21:58.200 --> 0:21:59.919
<v Speaker 3>Say yes, I saw a lot of people in denial

0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:04.000
<v Speaker 3>after seeing Samara Weaving and Kick Connor and Sadie Sick

0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:04.800
<v Speaker 3>on that stage.

0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:07.640
<v Speaker 2>They were saying, this is weird. She's too old. She's

0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:10.639
<v Speaker 2>ten years older than them. It's fine, calm down.

0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:15.240
<v Speaker 3>They are consented, and this is a movie like Guys

0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 3>Do Not Purity Culture, one of the best milkiest threesomes

0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:21.520
<v Speaker 3>in the world. That's gonna happen. That's why they put

0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:22.800
<v Speaker 3>the three of them in the movie together.

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:26.399
<v Speaker 2>Also, and then by the way that happened, that might

0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:27.720
<v Speaker 2>three movies.

0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 3>And also as well, Samara can play younger, both of

0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:33.640
<v Speaker 3>them can play older or younger, Like, calm down there,

0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:34.560
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna be great.

0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Jason, who would you ram this team out with?

0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:40.400
<v Speaker 3>Because I will say I Faii did tell on stage.

0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:42.240
<v Speaker 3>He very specifically said, this.

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Is not the full team.

0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:46.479
<v Speaker 3>Don't freaking out. There's more X men coming. Who do

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:49.240
<v Speaker 3>you think needs to be on it to make this work?

0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, I've been hanging on this theory for a while,

0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:55.680
<v Speaker 1>which I've talked about, which will lay out, just because

0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I think it's important to the rounding out the team question.

0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 1>That there are mutants currently in the MCU post Secret

0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Wars some one or a handful of mutants who came

0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:13.919
<v Speaker 1>from the dystopian versions of the timeline where mutants are

0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:18.760
<v Speaker 1>rounded up and kept in tournament camps will enter the

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:22.359
<v Speaker 1>main MCU, join the X Men, and they're gonna be

0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:25.160
<v Speaker 1>the ones who are like, yeah, yeah, it's very cute.

0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:27.160
<v Speaker 1>You guys want to be superheroes. You don't understand they're

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:29.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna round us all up and kill us. Yeah, literally,

0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:30.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't get it.

0:23:30.440 --> 0:23:33.240
<v Speaker 3>This is tied in to one of my favorite eras too,

0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:37.919
<v Speaker 3>because with Indy involved in that might Carry era, you

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:40.840
<v Speaker 3>really are getting like Rogue's death. Rogue is the one

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:43.440
<v Speaker 3>who's trying to warn people like in my fucking universe,

0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:47.240
<v Speaker 3>in this age of X Universe, it is concentration camps

0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:48.040
<v Speaker 3>mutants speaking.

0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:50.159
<v Speaker 2>I think, like, you're fucking right.

0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:55.120
<v Speaker 1>So I think there will be one or a selection

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:58.400
<v Speaker 1>of characters who come from that other universe who are

0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:03.640
<v Speaker 1>primarily the ones that make mutants like increasingly militant as

0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:07.040
<v Speaker 1>they stick around and see as they look around and

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:09.800
<v Speaker 1>see like, oh shit, like they are working on this

0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 1>like power dampening technology. They are working on these camps.

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh shit, they are sentinel technology that does look like

0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:19.399
<v Speaker 1>that could become Sentinel technology, and so who could that be.

0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it could be if we think about time traveling,

0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:24.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, like I don't know, it could be Kitty Pride.

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I think there's space for Kitty Pride team.

0:24:27.080 --> 0:24:27.640
<v Speaker 2>I'd love that.

0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:29.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that it could be. This is a long shot,

0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:31.680
<v Speaker 1>but it could be. I think it could be Wolverine,

0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:35.359
<v Speaker 1>like a younger recast Wolverine that they that the future

0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I have memory.

0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:39.480
<v Speaker 3>You say it's a long shot, but I also think

0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:41.960
<v Speaker 3>alongside Storm who we now know that I think they've

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:44.439
<v Speaker 3>got a great cost in college. And listen, Wolverine is

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:45.920
<v Speaker 3>the hardest person to cost.

0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:48.200
<v Speaker 2>You got to make him young and sure and old

0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:51.280
<v Speaker 2>and sexy and not Hugh Jackman like it does so

0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:51.879
<v Speaker 2>much to it.

0:24:52.320 --> 0:24:55.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, listen, we're not going to get the Emma

0:24:57.359 --> 0:25:00.479
<v Speaker 1>Jean Scott love triangle in this movie. Not gonna get

0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:02.320
<v Speaker 1>it for a while. Like it's when they do it.

0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna be like a shocking, shocking reveal

0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:10.680
<v Speaker 1>later on. But if you bring like a young, scrappy

0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Logan from another universe, I think you could have. They

0:25:15.280 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 1>have to will they won't they Scott and Gene first movie,

0:25:18.119 --> 0:25:21.280
<v Speaker 1>they can't just get together. And so I think a

0:25:21.320 --> 0:25:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Logan love triangle like where you're like, she's being pulled

0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:27.119
<v Speaker 1>in these various directions, which way is she gonna go?

0:25:27.240 --> 0:25:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I think that is wonderful dramatic juice if they use

0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Logan as this.

0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:34.639
<v Speaker 2>Character to actually Jason, because you can do some.

0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:37.600
<v Speaker 3>Beats from the first movie in a way less problematic way,

0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:40.159
<v Speaker 3>like the Logan Rogue stuff where the chemistry was always

0:25:40.160 --> 0:25:41.639
<v Speaker 3>there even though he was supposed to be like this

0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:45.719
<v Speaker 3>older figure. If you have Indie and because Rogue is,

0:25:45.760 --> 0:25:48.840
<v Speaker 3>like you said, probably gonna be a villain originally, if

0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:52.120
<v Speaker 3>you have Indian Wolverine on the same side and Sadie

0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:55.000
<v Speaker 3>and Kit on opposite sides, but then one of them starts,

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:57.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, Sadie starts to become more radicalized, and you

0:25:57.600 --> 0:26:02.640
<v Speaker 3>sort of have that core for like antagonists love triangle situation.

0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:04.639
<v Speaker 3>I could be really into that. I think Logan is

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:06.679
<v Speaker 3>a big one. I think the biggest one. And I

0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:08.320
<v Speaker 3>saw this on my TikTok. I saw it on my

0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:12.080
<v Speaker 3>Instagram when I was posting. So many people I do

0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:15.080
<v Speaker 3>not follow ask me where mystique was. That is to

0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:18.280
<v Speaker 3>them because of the movies, I think, and I will

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:20.240
<v Speaker 3>say we're going to get into our top twenty five.

0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:22.560
<v Speaker 3>You know, I will argue for what if she should

0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:24.120
<v Speaker 3>be on the X Men list rather than.

0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:24.960
<v Speaker 2>The villains or both.

0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:29.520
<v Speaker 3>But I do think that I think when it comes

0:26:29.560 --> 0:26:32.320
<v Speaker 3>to impact, when it comes to recognizability, when it comes

0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:35.320
<v Speaker 3>for characters who have been represented in both the comics

0:26:35.400 --> 0:26:38.240
<v Speaker 3>and the TV shows that people care about, it's mystique.

0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:40.399
<v Speaker 3>And I mean Carmen has been on this tair for

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:43.800
<v Speaker 3>a long time. Super producer Carmen Lorenz, we love her. Sorry,

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:45.800
<v Speaker 3>Carmen Laurent, she's fancier than me.

0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:51.520
<v Speaker 2>But Hunter Shafer mystique question mark. We love the concept.

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:54.439
<v Speaker 2>Can they do a trans villain antagonist right now in

0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:56.560
<v Speaker 2>a sensible way? We'd love to see it.

0:26:56.640 --> 0:27:00.040
<v Speaker 3>But the kind of idea of a shape shifting and

0:27:00.359 --> 0:27:04.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, Young more likely to be cast than the

0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:06.919
<v Speaker 3>Queen herself till the Swinton but Hunter gets a lot

0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:09.760
<v Speaker 3>of Till the Swinton comparisons. I think that could be

0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:12.119
<v Speaker 3>really cool, and I do think that gonna for the

0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:14.640
<v Speaker 3>fans to be excited. I think a mystique is important.

0:27:14.680 --> 0:27:16.199
<v Speaker 3>I also think there's a lot of fun stuff you

0:27:16.240 --> 0:27:17.720
<v Speaker 3>can do with mystique and Emma.

0:27:18.320 --> 0:27:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that they who else could I see? I mean,

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:22.439
<v Speaker 1>I think Gambit will be a villain.

0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:25.680
<v Speaker 3>It feels like he's gonna be in this right, So look,

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:28.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna lie my dream When they said that

0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:30.920
<v Speaker 3>Charles turned down Beast is because he knows he should

0:27:30.920 --> 0:27:31.400
<v Speaker 3>be Gambit.

0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:34.439
<v Speaker 2>He would be an incredible Gambit. He's charming, he's funny.

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:36.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure he could do the accent. Rivedell did a

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:37.200
<v Speaker 2>lot of accents.

0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I think he probably turned on Beast because he doesn't

0:27:39.080 --> 0:27:42.480
<v Speaker 1>want to wear a blue makeup. Yeah, so let's be real.

0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:45.080
<v Speaker 3>Marvel has a historical problem of always casting people of

0:27:45.119 --> 0:27:46.560
<v Speaker 3>color and then covering them in makeup.

0:27:46.680 --> 0:27:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Right, So, like, I would love if we turn around

0:27:49.480 --> 0:27:49.920
<v Speaker 2>because like.

0:27:49.960 --> 0:27:53.439
<v Speaker 3>Indy Rogue with Charles Gambit, like you would be fucking

0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:54.000
<v Speaker 3>cooking on.

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:54.760
<v Speaker 2>And again like that.

0:27:54.920 --> 0:27:57.320
<v Speaker 1>So, and I do think that there's a world in

0:27:57.359 --> 0:28:04.800
<v Speaker 1>which you do assemble the original five with Angel, Beast

0:28:04.880 --> 0:28:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and Iceman to round out with Jean Gray and Cyclops,

0:28:07.960 --> 0:28:11.680
<v Speaker 1>and then you kill one or two of them, and

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:16.640
<v Speaker 1>that spurs Charles too, you know, Deadly Genesis this thing

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:18.440
<v Speaker 1>and giant size X men this thing, and go, okay,

0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:21.800
<v Speaker 1>we need other people who do we got and maybe

0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:24.680
<v Speaker 1>then they round it out with the classic giant sized team.

0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I think I mean, if I had

0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:27.800
<v Speaker 2>to pick Stormer.

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:31.199
<v Speaker 4>On it is positive for the Giants, right, And I

0:28:31.240 --> 0:28:33.600
<v Speaker 4>think if I had to pick one character who I

0:28:33.840 --> 0:28:37.320
<v Speaker 4>think is for sure, who is not announced and is

0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 4>for sure in this.

0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's probably I think it's probably Gambit.

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmmm.

0:28:47.600 --> 0:28:49.920
<v Speaker 1>What about you if you had to pick one character

0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:52.360
<v Speaker 1>who is not who is not announced, who is you

0:28:52.400 --> 0:28:53.400
<v Speaker 1>think is Pride?

0:28:54.120 --> 0:28:56.400
<v Speaker 3>I do think it's gonna I think they'll go young Misty.

0:28:56.640 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 3>I think that she's been a member. I think it's

0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:01.080
<v Speaker 3>gonna be hot, but I would love to see both. Also,

0:29:01.120 --> 0:29:03.040
<v Speaker 3>Figy did make a point of being like, this is

0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:05.240
<v Speaker 3>just some of the X Men, so I think they're

0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:08.280
<v Speaker 3>aware that one of our biggest jokes and also one

0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:10.400
<v Speaker 3>of the reasons why we love so many X Men

0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:14.600
<v Speaker 3>fans loved the latest stage stuff, especially the original sequels

0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:17.360
<v Speaker 3>and the Day's of Future Past era. They understood that

0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:19.280
<v Speaker 3>to have a full score means you have to have

0:29:19.360 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 3>like hundreds of mutants.

0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Right, and you're not gonna see all of them. You're

0:29:22.400 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 2>not gonna get to know all of them.

0:29:23.480 --> 0:29:25.560
<v Speaker 3>But you're gonna get to see Cannibal for a moment,

0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:27.440
<v Speaker 3>or you're gonna get see where I go through a wall.

0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Right. I think the MCU will also understand that.

0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Even though I do think this is gonna be kind

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:34.640
<v Speaker 3>of a ramshackle strip mall version of the X Men,

0:29:35.000 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 3>I do think that we'll probably end up with at

0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:39.880
<v Speaker 3>least ten mutants in this movie, is my guess.

0:29:40.760 --> 0:29:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's take a quick break and we'll be back

0:29:42.920 --> 0:29:47.960
<v Speaker 1>with our top twenty five X Men list. Our individual top.

0:29:47.760 --> 0:29:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Twenty five, we will find out are very similar.

0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, our top twenty five x Men according to us.

0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Now we'll just kind of do our list separately. I'll

0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:20.160
<v Speaker 1>go first, but let me first tell you go fast, because.

0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:20.719
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm gonna do.

0:30:21.080 --> 0:30:24.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna highlight as you go all the ones that

0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:25.840
<v Speaker 3>I concluded and then give you a NUMBERUS.

0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:27.240
<v Speaker 1>So, yeah, here's my formula.

0:30:27.280 --> 0:30:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Because what I don't vot do, I based it onto

0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:30.320
<v Speaker 2>what I.

0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:31.959
<v Speaker 1>Didn't want to do, was like, oh, here are my

0:30:32.000 --> 0:30:34.920
<v Speaker 1>top twenty five favorite X Men. I tried to be

0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:39.360
<v Speaker 1>as unbiased about it as as possible, and so I

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 1>used kind of like five factors, four factors, five for

0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:45.720
<v Speaker 1>the villains, which we'll get into when we do our

0:30:45.800 --> 0:30:48.560
<v Speaker 1>villains later in the week, but four factors for the heroes.

0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:53.240
<v Speaker 1>One is essentialness, So it's like a counterfactual test if

0:30:53.400 --> 0:30:56.760
<v Speaker 1>this character never existed, how much of X Men history

0:30:56.760 --> 0:31:00.440
<v Speaker 1>has to be rewritten and recreated to impact? So like,

0:31:00.480 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 1>what did the character actually do? What were the storylines?

0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:08.719
<v Speaker 1>How many times did they lead their own series, institutions, deaths, wars,

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:13.320
<v Speaker 1>family trees, like what do they really influence? Popularity? Right,

0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:17.440
<v Speaker 1>name recognition? Do people know this character? How popular are

0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:20.760
<v Speaker 1>they to the fan base? And then kind of the

0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:25.600
<v Speaker 1>most ambiguous is just the coolness, you know, costume design, power,

0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:32.920
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. So that is those are my factors and

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:38.640
<v Speaker 1>to kind of quickly build off that, to me, relationships

0:31:38.680 --> 0:31:42.520
<v Speaker 1>matter the most. You know, the X We've said a

0:31:42.560 --> 0:31:44.440
<v Speaker 1>million times the X Men are like a family. The

0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 1>most connections that a character has, the more connections, the

0:31:48.920 --> 0:31:54.000
<v Speaker 1>higher you rank them. So romances, major friendships, major interpersonal relationships.

0:31:54.040 --> 0:31:56.719
<v Speaker 1>These are all I think important and speak to the

0:31:56.800 --> 0:32:05.120
<v Speaker 1>essentialness factor and popular current cultural heat counts under popularity,

0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:08.760
<v Speaker 1>so like appearing in Marvel Rivals, the video game, etc. Okay,

0:32:09.120 --> 0:32:13.440
<v Speaker 1>here are my top twenty five number one. Wolverine not

0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 1>my favorite, but I don't think anybody can say that

0:32:16.680 --> 0:32:20.040
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't the breakout star of the X Men for

0:32:20.080 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 1>thirty or forty years. True had his own solo series

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:26.960
<v Speaker 1>that ran for many, many years, and number one was

0:32:26.960 --> 0:32:31.880
<v Speaker 1>in like two hundreds, et cetera. He was just like

0:32:31.920 --> 0:32:36.760
<v Speaker 1>a huge, huge star in the eighties and nineties and

0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:39.240
<v Speaker 1>continues to be a huge star. So Wolverine number one,

0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:46.560
<v Speaker 1>number two Jeene Gray. Why because out of four and

0:32:46.600 --> 0:32:49.520
<v Speaker 1>you could argue more characters currently on my list, and

0:32:49.600 --> 0:32:52.320
<v Speaker 1>certainly on the villain list, none of some of them,

0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:55.240
<v Speaker 1>just simply four of these would not exist without Geen Gray.

0:32:55.720 --> 0:32:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Cable is her son Rachel Summers, her is her daughter

0:32:59.720 --> 0:33:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Matt n Pryor on the villain side. Strife on the

0:33:02.480 --> 0:33:06.600
<v Speaker 1>villain side wouldn't exist. The Dark Phoenix saga, her relationship

0:33:06.640 --> 0:33:09.840
<v Speaker 1>with Scott, the love triangle with Scott and Emma like

0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 1>one of the most iconic romances, the love triangle with Logan, Like,

0:33:14.440 --> 0:33:18.520
<v Speaker 1>there's just so many connections. And even when she wasn't

0:33:18.560 --> 0:33:20.880
<v Speaker 1>on the team, she was on the team because her

0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:23.480
<v Speaker 1>clone was on the team. So it's like just a

0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:28.480
<v Speaker 1>us undeniable impact by that same token, I simply had

0:33:28.480 --> 0:33:32.680
<v Speaker 1>to have Cyclopsis number three the Summers Dynasty. There's the

0:33:32.720 --> 0:33:36.640
<v Speaker 1>whole rest of his family with Corsair and Havoc and Vulcan,

0:33:37.360 --> 0:33:41.040
<v Speaker 1>his Space, his absentee Space pirate Dad, who became a

0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:44.520
<v Speaker 1>secondary character his own right. The fact that sinister major

0:33:44.640 --> 0:33:48.640
<v Speaker 1>villain in the ex universe and in Marvel is basically

0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:53.040
<v Speaker 1>exists because he's obsessed with Scott. Yeah, like ed literally

0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 1>it is huge. And for me, the fact that in

0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 1>the past twenty years he's morphed basically into becoming the

0:34:03.480 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 1>best version of Magneto, like a militant leader who I

0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:11.920
<v Speaker 1>love that holds both the Charles legacy and the Magneto

0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:18.040
<v Speaker 1>legacy together, like in his mind. You know, Cyclops was

0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:20.759
<v Speaker 1>right that whole thing. I just think he's He's number

0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:23.560
<v Speaker 1>three for me, number four Storm correct.

0:34:23.640 --> 0:34:25.440
<v Speaker 2>She should be in that top five whatever.

0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Fifty year history, a decade as the leader of the team,

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:33.160
<v Speaker 1>led the team with no powers at all, you know,

0:34:33.680 --> 0:34:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and Ben Scott in a fight while he had powers.

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:41.040
<v Speaker 1>She's currently you know, leading her own solo title. Is

0:34:41.080 --> 0:34:44.680
<v Speaker 1>a member of the Avengers Crazy Soul.

0:34:45.840 --> 0:34:48.000
<v Speaker 3>In the X Men animated series, two, like when you

0:34:48.040 --> 0:34:49.920
<v Speaker 3>were a kid, that was the character you quote it

0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:52.440
<v Speaker 3>the thespian stormlines.

0:34:52.600 --> 0:34:55.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, she was the monologust.

0:34:55.000 --> 0:34:59.279
<v Speaker 1>Huge popularity, huge coolness factor. You know, coming out of

0:34:59.320 --> 0:35:04.239
<v Speaker 1>the crocoa era has reached new heights. Obviously her relationship

0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:06.960
<v Speaker 1>with Wakanda it has to be Storm.

0:35:07.160 --> 0:35:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Also, she's also like the most baddest wanted bitch in

0:35:11.000 --> 0:35:14.680
<v Speaker 3>the whole of the MCU, like Doom wants her, Tony's

0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:18.279
<v Speaker 3>wanted her, thoughs wanted her. Like her impact romantically and

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:21.640
<v Speaker 3>as like a romantic and literal goddess is undeniable.

0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Every strong man is obsessed with Storm.

0:35:24.120 --> 0:35:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I mean she's she was royalty before she was

0:35:28.080 --> 0:35:30.160
<v Speaker 1>royalty professor.

0:35:30.960 --> 0:35:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I agree, hate to hear it.

0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:35.840
<v Speaker 1>By listen, you hate to hear it. The coolness is

0:35:35.880 --> 0:35:38.680
<v Speaker 1>obviously worth very little. He's a bald man in a

0:35:38.719 --> 0:35:40.160
<v Speaker 1>wheelchair for most of his career.

0:35:40.280 --> 0:35:42.919
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's not make it able, ass, Jason. Wheelchair people

0:35:42.960 --> 0:35:44.640
<v Speaker 2>could be cool to bald.

0:35:45.320 --> 0:35:46.600
<v Speaker 1>He's a bald liar.

0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, he's a bald liar. He's ad war.

0:35:49.600 --> 0:35:53.640
<v Speaker 1>He's a bald as his career. But you know, there's

0:35:53.640 --> 0:35:58.759
<v Speaker 1>no X Men without him, and so yeah, you.

0:35:58.760 --> 0:35:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Have to put him up there.

0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:02.799
<v Speaker 1>And and I would say that despite all the ship

0:36:02.960 --> 0:36:04.160
<v Speaker 1>that we've given him.

0:36:05.160 --> 0:36:07.000
<v Speaker 2>He's got his place, he's done his things.

0:36:07.239 --> 0:36:11.720
<v Speaker 1>He even when he's overstepped, and it's been many times

0:36:12.719 --> 0:36:15.040
<v Speaker 1>erasing memories, creating memories.

0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:18.520
<v Speaker 3>Locking people's powers, controlling people face.

0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:21.200
<v Speaker 1>And sending them on suicide missions and then covering the

0:36:21.680 --> 0:36:25.799
<v Speaker 1>child soldiers. Yeah, but we like him for that. Let's that.

0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:27.239
<v Speaker 1>Let's not be hypocritical.

0:36:27.600 --> 0:36:29.759
<v Speaker 2>We like the child, we like him.

0:36:29.920 --> 0:36:30.360
<v Speaker 1>He did that.

0:36:30.719 --> 0:36:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I wish he's not a bit older.

0:36:34.120 --> 0:36:38.080
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, yes, but even when he made those mistakes,

0:36:38.200 --> 0:36:41.160
<v Speaker 1>it was like it was from a good place. I'm

0:36:41.160 --> 0:36:43.719
<v Speaker 1>not saying he like Obviously he's a bad guy in

0:36:43.760 --> 0:36:49.120
<v Speaker 1>a sense, had intentions, he was he a little naive

0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:51.680
<v Speaker 1>the dream and all that. Yes, but again I do

0:36:51.800 --> 0:36:57.000
<v Speaker 1>think the dream has changed in Cyclops to become something

0:36:57.320 --> 0:37:01.839
<v Speaker 1>higher and more realistic and and something more effective by

0:37:01.920 --> 0:37:07.880
<v Speaker 1>merging with the philosophy Magneto. Yes. Next is Magneto the

0:37:07.920 --> 0:37:11.080
<v Speaker 1>only character to spoiler on my who makes both my

0:37:11.640 --> 0:37:13.440
<v Speaker 1>the top ten of both lists for me?

0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Interesting? Interesting?

0:37:16.840 --> 0:37:22.000
<v Speaker 1>You know New Mutant's headmaster, Xavier's designated successor, which was

0:37:22.040 --> 0:37:26.520
<v Speaker 1>a shocker, quiet Council seat dies to protect the mutant

0:37:26.600 --> 0:37:30.759
<v Speaker 1>race from you know, during fall of x Magneto was right.

0:37:31.080 --> 0:37:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Was I think the biggest I would argue the biggest

0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:38.360
<v Speaker 1>threat to the Xavier ideology was the whole Magneto was

0:37:38.440 --> 0:37:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Right movement.

0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:42.759
<v Speaker 3>I want to say, big reason I think that they're

0:37:42.800 --> 0:37:45.879
<v Speaker 3>not bringing it in right now, so complicated to bring

0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:46.400
<v Speaker 3>to life.

0:37:46.400 --> 0:37:47.840
<v Speaker 2>But you're so right, Jason.

0:37:47.920 --> 0:37:50.480
<v Speaker 3>I also just want to point out here slight difference

0:37:50.480 --> 0:37:52.960
<v Speaker 3>in ranking, which we'll get into, but so far six

0:37:53.000 --> 0:37:56.279
<v Speaker 3>for six and we did not we did not go

0:37:56.320 --> 0:37:58.440
<v Speaker 3>through these lists before. This guy is yet so so

0:37:58.480 --> 0:38:02.799
<v Speaker 3>far with a different different you're in organization, but that

0:38:02.920 --> 0:38:05.360
<v Speaker 3>old aphemy and yeah, six all the same.

0:38:05.560 --> 0:38:06.080
<v Speaker 2>I agree.

0:38:06.640 --> 0:38:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Number seven Emma Frost, the babe you know fourteen years

0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:13.879
<v Speaker 1>is the Hellfire Club's white queen, but then thirty two

0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:17.640
<v Speaker 1>years as really a crucial in core x Men. This

0:38:17.840 --> 0:38:22.360
<v Speaker 1>was like one of the big swings of the of

0:38:22.480 --> 0:38:25.319
<v Speaker 1>the Grant Morrison x Men era, and it is I

0:38:25.360 --> 0:38:28.440
<v Speaker 1>think the most durable, the one in his spade, the

0:38:28.480 --> 0:38:31.719
<v Speaker 1>longest is Emma. Actually can't imagine.

0:38:31.400 --> 0:38:33.640
<v Speaker 3>Together the kind of growth that they had in that

0:38:33.680 --> 0:38:36.360
<v Speaker 3>comment changed the way so many of us perceived them forever.

0:38:36.640 --> 0:38:39.279
<v Speaker 1>It was so controversial and you can't really imagine the

0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:42.640
<v Speaker 1>team without her. She's arrogant, she's posh.

0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:44.800
<v Speaker 2>She incredibly powerful.

0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:51.520
<v Speaker 1>She's incredibly powerful. But also, like you, despite past arcs

0:38:51.520 --> 0:38:53.719
<v Speaker 1>where you kind of doubted, like, oh, would she ever?

0:38:54.320 --> 0:38:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Is she portraying the X Men, Is she secretly hell fire?

0:38:56.760 --> 0:39:00.000
<v Speaker 1>You don't doubt that anymore. She's you know, pure x mens,

0:39:00.040 --> 0:39:05.319
<v Speaker 1>sole survivor of Genosha, which created her secondary mutation. She's

0:39:05.440 --> 0:39:11.600
<v Speaker 1>huge Number eight rogue. This is where it gets very

0:39:11.640 --> 0:39:13.840
<v Speaker 1>close to me, and I think you could make plausible

0:39:13.920 --> 0:39:19.000
<v Speaker 1>arguments for certain characters, jumping over certain characters. She's got

0:39:19.000 --> 0:39:22.680
<v Speaker 1>one of the coolest and most impactful arcs going from

0:39:22.840 --> 0:39:23.920
<v Speaker 1>villain to hero.

0:39:24.120 --> 0:39:26.640
<v Speaker 2>In X history.

0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:31.480
<v Speaker 1>She has, I would argue, along with the death of

0:39:31.560 --> 0:39:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Uncle Ben, the one genuinely unreversed comics thing in comics

0:39:37.480 --> 0:39:41.360
<v Speaker 1>history is that she absorbed Carol Danver's psyche and powers.

0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:46.840
<v Speaker 1>They never reversed it. And you know, the romance with

0:39:46.920 --> 0:39:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Gambit is just huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, like the

0:39:51.280 --> 0:39:56.640
<v Speaker 1>that was the ultimate for my comics reading Origin story,

0:39:56.719 --> 0:39:58.640
<v Speaker 1>like the ultimate. Will they won't they? Because you know

0:39:58.760 --> 0:40:00.719
<v Speaker 1>they can't touch and when we'll y ever be able

0:40:00.719 --> 0:40:03.480
<v Speaker 1>to touch, And it was just this forlorn romance.

0:40:03.600 --> 0:40:05.839
<v Speaker 3>I would also say as well, like it was such

0:40:05.840 --> 0:40:08.640
<v Speaker 3>a huge impact guys from the animated series, and it

0:40:08.760 --> 0:40:11.400
<v Speaker 3>was like years of fan yanning that led to us

0:40:11.480 --> 0:40:14.960
<v Speaker 3>getting like a Kelly Thompson Rogue and Gambit story that

0:40:15.120 --> 0:40:17.960
<v Speaker 3>was its own like mini series in like twenty seventeen.

0:40:18.080 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 3>So it's been a long lasting fan passion and I

0:40:21.200 --> 0:40:23.479
<v Speaker 3>think that's why X Mend ninety seven hit so well.

0:40:23.520 --> 0:40:25.840
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, obviously Rogue is also in my top.

0:40:25.680 --> 0:40:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Ten, number nine to nine for nineties cable, you know,

0:40:30.520 --> 0:40:34.600
<v Speaker 1>nineties coded with the pouches, the arm, the glowing eye.

0:40:34.640 --> 0:40:39.239
<v Speaker 1>That said, I think he has too many connections and

0:40:39.400 --> 0:40:42.640
<v Speaker 1>not my favorite character by any means, but there's simply

0:40:42.680 --> 0:40:45.400
<v Speaker 1>too many connections to the rest of X History and

0:40:45.480 --> 0:40:49.520
<v Speaker 1>other characters to really deny. He turns the new Mutants

0:40:49.560 --> 0:40:53.120
<v Speaker 1>into X Force, which is still a team that exists.

0:40:53.840 --> 0:40:56.880
<v Speaker 1>He is the reason Strife exists, therefore the reason the

0:40:56.960 --> 0:40:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Legacy virus exists.

0:40:59.400 --> 0:40:59.560
<v Speaker 3>Yea.

0:41:00.320 --> 0:41:04.400
<v Speaker 1>He of course is Scott and Jean's son from a

0:41:04.440 --> 0:41:09.280
<v Speaker 1>different timeline, which is a huge thing played a crucial

0:41:09.440 --> 0:41:14.920
<v Speaker 1>role in the Messiah complex plotline, Yeah, which brought the

0:41:15.000 --> 0:41:17.799
<v Speaker 1>Mutants back to the forefront in terms of, you know,

0:41:18.400 --> 0:41:22.759
<v Speaker 1>being back from extinction, and so you just kind of

0:41:22.800 --> 0:41:26.120
<v Speaker 1>have to have him there, even though again not my favorite,

0:41:26.600 --> 0:41:28.160
<v Speaker 1>you know who, One of my favorites is number ten

0:41:28.239 --> 0:41:32.319
<v Speaker 1>Kitty Pride, the Audience Surrogate. Pride the Audience Surrogate for

0:41:32.400 --> 0:41:36.759
<v Speaker 1>like thirty years since her introduction in the eighties, you know,

0:41:36.840 --> 0:41:39.080
<v Speaker 1>right in the middle of Days of Future Past, which

0:41:39.120 --> 0:41:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I think if you had to select one X Men

0:41:43.640 --> 0:41:45.560
<v Speaker 1>arc to take with you to the Desert Island, I

0:41:45.560 --> 0:41:47.359
<v Speaker 1>think a lot of people would take that, which is.

0:41:47.320 --> 0:41:49.800
<v Speaker 3>Funny because you'd just be reading those same two issues

0:41:49.840 --> 0:41:51.799
<v Speaker 3>over and over again, babe, but it would be worth it.

0:41:52.239 --> 0:41:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Founding member of Excalibur, the relationship with Colossus, which is

0:41:56.200 --> 0:41:58.680
<v Speaker 1>one of the cute most.

0:41:59.440 --> 0:42:08.080
<v Speaker 3>Like relationshipsships have always.

0:42:05.560 --> 0:42:10.200
<v Speaker 1>The kind of like moral ark bone of the X Men,

0:42:10.239 --> 0:42:13.640
<v Speaker 1>along with Nightcrawler, who is coming quite soon on the list.

0:42:13.719 --> 0:42:17.279
<v Speaker 1>So number ten Kity Pride to here we get into

0:42:17.320 --> 0:42:20.759
<v Speaker 1>the second tier. Number eleven Nightcrawler. I moved him up

0:42:21.400 --> 0:42:23.719
<v Speaker 1>late in my scoring. You know, he's one of the

0:42:23.719 --> 0:42:28.680
<v Speaker 1>original giant size X Men era X Men Mystique's son,

0:42:28.920 --> 0:42:34.960
<v Speaker 1>so has those connections. The religious core of him, I

0:42:35.040 --> 0:42:38.200
<v Speaker 1>think is so important to who the X Men are.

0:42:38.600 --> 0:42:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Wrote the Krokohen religion, the Krokohen mutant religion, just the hugely.

0:42:45.000 --> 0:42:47.919
<v Speaker 3>Many impacts in different words. And he's also a nice guy,

0:42:48.160 --> 0:42:48.960
<v Speaker 3>like nice.

0:42:48.760 --> 0:42:53.719
<v Speaker 1>Guy and very cool. Number twelve Gambit. I don't love

0:42:53.800 --> 0:42:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Gambit as a character that said, you can't deny how

0:42:58.960 --> 0:43:00.719
<v Speaker 1>popular Gambit is not.

0:43:02.600 --> 0:43:05.600
<v Speaker 3>He's like a venom level like, yeah, he broke out

0:43:05.640 --> 0:43:08.200
<v Speaker 3>of containment. People who don't even like him cosplay him

0:43:08.239 --> 0:43:08.880
<v Speaker 3>type guy.

0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:13.759
<v Speaker 1>Very complicated, kind of anti hero in a way, you know,

0:43:14.040 --> 0:43:19.239
<v Speaker 1>was bamboozled question Mark into the being complicit in the

0:43:19.320 --> 0:43:22.560
<v Speaker 1>mutant massacre, which we can talk about at some future date.

0:43:23.440 --> 0:43:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Uh led the more led the marauders to the morlocked tunnels,

0:43:27.360 --> 0:43:30.440
<v Speaker 1>although he would argue he didn't know what was going on. Obviously.

0:43:30.600 --> 0:43:33.000
<v Speaker 2>The relationships of my beloved Ballot.

0:43:33.160 --> 0:43:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes became a horseman was dead for a period of time.

0:43:38.160 --> 0:43:41.719
<v Speaker 1>His relationship with Rogue is I think essential to the

0:43:41.880 --> 0:43:42.160
<v Speaker 1>X Men.

0:43:42.360 --> 0:43:44.680
<v Speaker 2>I would also say, they said, you'll Baker. We realized,

0:43:44.719 --> 0:43:46.840
<v Speaker 2>like I had never really just listed out all of

0:43:46.880 --> 0:43:49.040
<v Speaker 2>the bad ship. He's done. He's like the X Men's

0:43:49.080 --> 0:43:51.640
<v Speaker 2>bad Turtle. He's the sexy bat boy with a good heart. Right.

0:43:51.719 --> 0:43:54.759
<v Speaker 3>That's like I'm realizing how much of his appeal is

0:43:54.800 --> 0:43:56.200
<v Speaker 3>that because he often comes back.

0:43:56.239 --> 0:43:58.160
<v Speaker 2>He always loves rogue. He does the right thing. But

0:43:58.200 --> 0:44:00.799
<v Speaker 2>when you list it out like this, motherfucker's I mean, you.

0:44:00.800 --> 0:44:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Know, complicit in the mutant Master, very tough.

0:44:04.040 --> 0:44:07.200
<v Speaker 2>To come back from, Andy, very tough.

0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Number thirteen Beast original five X Men, you know, the

0:44:12.200 --> 0:44:17.600
<v Speaker 1>original for the team genius scientist character, which is a

0:44:17.840 --> 0:44:20.480
<v Speaker 1>very very important role. And I would argue though there

0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:25.080
<v Speaker 1>are other you know, Cipher, Prodigy, there's other characters that

0:44:25.080 --> 0:44:29.040
<v Speaker 1>have stacks science that genius role. He is kind of

0:44:29.040 --> 0:44:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the irreplaceable one of those. Just the secondary mutation and

0:44:36.840 --> 0:44:40.479
<v Speaker 1>the devolving into the blue, furry haired mutant character. Aaron

0:44:40.520 --> 0:44:44.160
<v Speaker 1>brought up a very important point, which is it's very

0:44:44.200 --> 0:44:48.920
<v Speaker 1>important for the movies but for the comics that non

0:44:49.040 --> 0:44:52.560
<v Speaker 1>human presenting mutants are represented, and he is one of those.

0:44:52.680 --> 0:44:55.040
<v Speaker 3>And he is also I will say, I do think

0:44:55.120 --> 0:44:58.799
<v Speaker 3>Beast is a very interesting, cool character because he is

0:44:58.840 --> 0:45:01.560
<v Speaker 3>like very generally we know evil Beast and everything, but

0:45:01.600 --> 0:45:05.280
<v Speaker 3>he's very much like he's the charming one. He's the

0:45:05.320 --> 0:45:07.960
<v Speaker 3>smart one, he's the acceptable one, even though he looks

0:45:08.040 --> 0:45:09.040
<v Speaker 3>very non presenting.

0:45:09.160 --> 0:45:11.040
<v Speaker 2>So I do think he is important in that way.

0:45:11.600 --> 0:45:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Number fourteen Colossus. You might argue that it's a little

0:45:15.520 --> 0:45:17.279
<v Speaker 1>bit of a reach. He's never won a fight. I

0:45:17.320 --> 0:45:21.240
<v Speaker 1>famously say that said, you know, one of the giant

0:45:21.320 --> 0:45:26.760
<v Speaker 1>size eras the relationship with Kitty has mentioned Magic's brother,

0:45:27.520 --> 0:45:30.040
<v Speaker 1>and then I think what put him here for me

0:45:30.239 --> 0:45:33.840
<v Speaker 1>is that he does end the Legacy virus by himself

0:45:34.120 --> 0:45:37.759
<v Speaker 1>deciding to you know, essentially sacrificing his life to end

0:45:37.800 --> 0:45:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the Legacy virus. Number fifteen Silock one of the most

0:45:42.440 --> 0:45:45.319
<v Speaker 1>confusing lore packages of all time.

0:45:45.480 --> 0:45:47.279
<v Speaker 2>You could never even imagine the thing.

0:45:47.520 --> 0:45:52.560
<v Speaker 1>She was originally Captain Britain's sister Betsy Braddock. Then she

0:45:52.680 --> 0:45:55.520
<v Speaker 1>goes through the Siege Perilous, which we can't get into now,

0:45:55.520 --> 0:45:59.560
<v Speaker 1>which is put an alternate dimensional portal that the nineties

0:45:59.680 --> 0:46:03.800
<v Speaker 1>X men had access to, comes back as vaguely Asian coded.

0:46:03.840 --> 0:46:07.920
<v Speaker 1>It's eventually retconned that yes, she switched bodies with an

0:46:07.960 --> 0:46:10.799
<v Speaker 1>Asian woman named Kwanon, and so that's why she has

0:46:10.840 --> 0:46:12.800
<v Speaker 1>looked Asian for last twenty years.

0:46:13.120 --> 0:46:16.040
<v Speaker 2>And now Kwanon is a different character, and or Silo

0:46:16.200 --> 0:46:18.480
<v Speaker 2>is the every character. Bessy Braddick is an every character.

0:46:18.719 --> 0:46:21.320
<v Speaker 2>They finally split them apop. But no, you're right, Silock

0:46:21.400 --> 0:46:23.000
<v Speaker 2>has to be on that. She has to be.

0:46:22.760 --> 0:46:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Because for the coolest, and you know, one of the

0:46:25.880 --> 0:46:30.560
<v Speaker 1>most is iconic and what was cool power Psychic Knife

0:46:30.600 --> 0:46:32.040
<v Speaker 1>is incredible and.

0:46:31.960 --> 0:46:37.080
<v Speaker 3>Also famously iconic action figure because the middle like three

0:46:37.120 --> 0:46:39.120
<v Speaker 3>inch action figure was the same mold as Electra.

0:46:39.200 --> 0:46:40.680
<v Speaker 2>They just changed the colors, so it's.

0:46:40.560 --> 0:46:42.960
<v Speaker 3>Like she's just got so much lore and cannon and

0:46:42.960 --> 0:46:45.400
<v Speaker 3>it was such a big deal. And also just like

0:46:45.760 --> 0:46:48.799
<v Speaker 3>Jim Lee drawing Silocke is just crazy good chip, Like

0:46:48.840 --> 0:46:49.600
<v Speaker 3>that's the shake.

0:46:49.640 --> 0:46:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Sure, I love that.

0:46:50.520 --> 0:46:52.359
<v Speaker 1>He just like went off. The Resin was like, now

0:46:52.360 --> 0:46:53.080
<v Speaker 1>she's Asian, and.

0:46:53.120 --> 0:46:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah she came back, bitch dress it for twenty years.

0:46:57.160 --> 0:47:02.040
<v Speaker 1>She's just vaguely Asian. She's sixteen and redcon to be yes,

0:47:02.080 --> 0:47:06.160
<v Speaker 1>she is here, Yeah, sixteen magic founder, founding member of

0:47:06.200 --> 0:47:11.080
<v Speaker 1>the New Mutants, rules her own dimension Limbo with her

0:47:11.120 --> 0:47:11.920
<v Speaker 1>own pet.

0:47:11.800 --> 0:47:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Like coolness as well.

0:47:14.080 --> 0:47:19.040
<v Speaker 1>For the coolest, the charts goth look with the big

0:47:19.200 --> 0:47:23.000
<v Speaker 1>sword and the cool head piece, the dark Child, I

0:47:23.040 --> 0:47:27.080
<v Speaker 1>mean in Marvel Rivals, which is, you know, like coming

0:47:27.160 --> 0:47:30.759
<v Speaker 1>your game. I just think, well, I just tell you

0:47:30.760 --> 0:47:32.040
<v Speaker 1>to list off the charts.

0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:35.400
<v Speaker 3>I do think that when it comes to out popular

0:47:35.520 --> 0:47:38.400
<v Speaker 3>these characters are and how much knowledge there is of

0:47:38.440 --> 0:47:42.960
<v Speaker 3>these characters, Marvel Rivals has changed that. Yeah, and completely

0:47:43.000 --> 0:47:46.000
<v Speaker 3>because there are people who do not read comics who

0:47:46.000 --> 0:47:47.920
<v Speaker 3>play Marvel Rivals and come and hang out with me

0:47:47.920 --> 0:47:50.319
<v Speaker 3>when I'm chilling at the comic shop or the coffee shop,

0:47:50.320 --> 0:47:51.839
<v Speaker 3>and they just ask me who the characters are.

0:47:51.840 --> 0:47:53.800
<v Speaker 2>They go, oh, can you tell me the comic book characters?

0:47:54.160 --> 0:47:57.160
<v Speaker 2>But who's this? Like what squirrel Girl do? Like who's magic?

0:47:57.239 --> 0:47:57.440
<v Speaker 2>You know?

0:47:57.840 --> 0:48:00.960
<v Speaker 3>And that is getting people into comics, Like it's a

0:48:01.000 --> 0:48:03.319
<v Speaker 3>two way street, and I fucking love it. But yeah,

0:48:03.360 --> 0:48:05.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean magic ar Queen.

0:48:05.600 --> 0:48:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Number seventeen x twenty three, first kind of new, the newest,

0:48:10.640 --> 0:48:14.160
<v Speaker 1>the first appearance of like a new fresher character. She

0:48:14.239 --> 0:48:17.480
<v Speaker 1>took Wolf, she took the wolverine mantle and outright like

0:48:17.640 --> 0:48:19.240
<v Speaker 1>owned it for a long period.

0:48:19.239 --> 0:48:21.560
<v Speaker 2>And I worked in the comic shop and it fucking ruled.

0:48:21.680 --> 0:48:23.760
<v Speaker 2>That was a great arc, great era.

0:48:24.360 --> 0:48:28.560
<v Speaker 1>One of the few kind of I mean even Docin

0:48:28.680 --> 0:48:31.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't hit the way x twenty three hit.

0:48:31.440 --> 0:48:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Just she's basically like I would say, obviously completely different tone,

0:48:35.320 --> 0:48:39.080
<v Speaker 3>but she was. She was Marvels kind of X version

0:48:39.120 --> 0:48:41.640
<v Speaker 3>of Kamala Kon Like it hits so much harder than

0:48:41.680 --> 0:48:44.279
<v Speaker 3>anyone expected, and she's stuck around so much longer. And

0:48:44.360 --> 0:48:48.200
<v Speaker 3>obviously thanks to Daphne, Keene has now become an iconic

0:48:48.480 --> 0:48:50.680
<v Speaker 3>member of the movie X Teams too.

0:48:51.160 --> 0:48:54.799
<v Speaker 1>Yes, one of the most critically acclaimed comic book movies ever.

0:48:55.520 --> 0:48:57.360
<v Speaker 2>You know ever was nominated.

0:48:57.760 --> 0:49:03.399
<v Speaker 1>So that brings us to eighteen Angel slash Archangel, one

0:49:03.400 --> 0:49:09.239
<v Speaker 1>of the Original five. His money helped found the original

0:49:09.400 --> 0:49:15.200
<v Speaker 1>X sector the Death Transformation after his brutal injury during

0:49:15.200 --> 0:49:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the Mutant Mascer after you know, at the hands of Apocalypse.

0:49:20.000 --> 0:49:22.279
<v Speaker 1>I think was one of the great and most successful

0:49:22.320 --> 0:49:26.680
<v Speaker 1>redesigns of a character in franchise history. Made him much

0:49:26.719 --> 0:49:31.440
<v Speaker 1>more dangerous and much more menacing. Number nineteen Iceman again

0:49:31.520 --> 0:49:39.759
<v Speaker 1>Original five important you know representation as one of the

0:49:39.800 --> 0:49:42.880
<v Speaker 1>first out gay characters, and I think the original X

0:49:42.920 --> 0:49:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Men who was out, not counting north Star, who was

0:49:46.360 --> 0:49:48.960
<v Speaker 1>in the ex universe but a member of yeah in

0:49:49.120 --> 0:49:51.280
<v Speaker 1>the in the X universe, but a member.

0:49:51.520 --> 0:49:53.040
<v Speaker 2>He's had a complicated time.

0:49:53.120 --> 0:49:55.560
<v Speaker 3>That was like, yeah, I might say allegedly with you

0:49:55.600 --> 0:49:59.920
<v Speaker 3>know Comma fingers here, but that was allegedly an antique

0:50:00.080 --> 0:50:02.360
<v Speaker 3>gay edict at Marvel in the eighties. That stopped a

0:50:02.360 --> 0:50:04.320
<v Speaker 3>lot of things coming out properly. And then you have

0:50:04.400 --> 0:50:06.239
<v Speaker 3>to do them in different books, so yeah, do them later.

0:50:06.560 --> 0:50:09.040
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, we will say that. You know that first

0:50:09.680 --> 0:50:13.480
<v Speaker 3>character that Marvel really supported as an out gay character where.

0:50:13.320 --> 0:50:17.600
<v Speaker 1>This was born was Bobby Iceman, Marvel's first same sex

0:50:17.640 --> 0:50:21.480
<v Speaker 1>wedding in twenty twelve. He's an Omega level Grace. If

0:50:21.520 --> 0:50:24.200
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to freeze the entire planet Earth, he could

0:50:24.280 --> 0:50:24.640
<v Speaker 1>do it.

0:50:25.040 --> 0:50:25.719
<v Speaker 2>He could do it.

0:50:26.239 --> 0:50:30.280
<v Speaker 1>He has done crazy stuff since his like Omega level

0:50:30.320 --> 0:50:34.120
<v Speaker 1>has been unlocked, like creating fifty foot snowmen.

0:50:34.840 --> 0:50:38.040
<v Speaker 2>You know then, like he is, he's just wild ass ship.

0:50:38.400 --> 0:50:41.840
<v Speaker 3>Yes, he's used as like well against Doctor Doom. Honestly,

0:50:42.480 --> 0:50:45.200
<v Speaker 3>she needs someone who can very powerful snowman to fight

0:50:45.239 --> 0:50:45.960
<v Speaker 3>the sentinels.

0:50:46.239 --> 0:50:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Number twenty Bishop, this is where it's my favorite. And

0:50:50.000 --> 0:50:54.320
<v Speaker 1>again like that m make arguments here, you can really make.

0:50:54.280 --> 0:50:55.919
<v Speaker 2>Again twenty to twenty five.

0:50:56.000 --> 0:51:01.080
<v Speaker 5>I think you can really start to out Dystopian future Refugee,

0:51:01.400 --> 0:51:05.160
<v Speaker 5>one of the most really recognizable pieces of nineties x

0:51:05.360 --> 0:51:09.200
<v Speaker 5>iconography is that m on his on his eye.

0:51:10.680 --> 0:51:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe please maybe.

0:51:13.680 --> 0:51:17.560
<v Speaker 1>This is how I think there's an off chance that

0:51:17.600 --> 0:51:20.560
<v Speaker 1>he appears in the X Men movie as the thing

0:51:20.600 --> 0:51:22.720
<v Speaker 1>that we've said, that character who comes from the alternate

0:51:22.760 --> 0:51:25.000
<v Speaker 1>dimension says, you guys don't get it. You need to

0:51:25.040 --> 0:51:26.920
<v Speaker 1>be much more millant. They're going to round us all up.

0:51:27.520 --> 0:51:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Twenty one Bishop would be pretty cool. That would be

0:51:29.960 --> 0:51:31.520
<v Speaker 2>on like in the twenties. Bishop.

0:51:32.280 --> 0:51:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Number twenty one. Rachel Summers just like some very essential

0:51:37.560 --> 0:51:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Listen survivor at the center of Days of Future Past,

0:51:40.640 --> 0:51:44.320
<v Speaker 1>a host of the Phoenix, a ex kyliber founding member

0:51:44.920 --> 0:51:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Scott and Jean's daughter. She's played a huge role, even

0:51:49.000 --> 0:51:52.120
<v Speaker 1>though she's fallen off kind of lately. Number twenty two.

0:51:52.239 --> 0:51:55.319
<v Speaker 1>Here's one of our other big risers, Hope Summers.

0:51:55.560 --> 0:51:58.839
<v Speaker 2>Ooh okay, most of her importance.

0:51:58.360 --> 0:52:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Is from the last ten to fifteen years. Obviously, it's

0:52:01.880 --> 0:52:05.279
<v Speaker 1>her birth that as the mutant Messiah that kind of

0:52:05.360 --> 0:52:09.080
<v Speaker 1>kicks off the rebirth of mutants in the world, and

0:52:10.120 --> 0:52:13.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, as one of the five on Krakoa is

0:52:13.320 --> 0:52:17.640
<v Speaker 1>obviously like a crucial and essential part of the Krocohen

0:52:18.560 --> 0:52:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Society and the way it works and the fact that

0:52:21.600 --> 0:52:23.840
<v Speaker 1>mutants were being brought back to life. Hope Summer is

0:52:23.880 --> 0:52:26.960
<v Speaker 1>just like her ability to steal powers in a more

0:52:28.200 --> 0:52:31.359
<v Speaker 1>in a way that has less negatives than the way

0:52:31.440 --> 0:52:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Rogue can do. It is just you know, huge and flexible.

0:52:35.360 --> 0:52:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Number twenty three Polaris.

0:52:37.239 --> 0:52:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, baby correct correct.

0:52:41.200 --> 0:52:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Magneto's daughter relationship with Havoc over many, many years is

0:52:46.880 --> 0:52:51.640
<v Speaker 1>important representation as someone struggling with mental illness within the

0:52:51.719 --> 0:52:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Marvel universe and the ex universe.

0:52:53.920 --> 0:52:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Also, the Magnia family stuff is just so interesting, It's.

0:52:57.200 --> 0:53:00.560
<v Speaker 1>So good and so rich. Yes, they've they've really explored

0:53:00.600 --> 0:53:04.200
<v Speaker 1>it recently too, just what a shit Daddy is and all.

0:53:04.080 --> 0:53:06.239
<v Speaker 2>Of that, and like the impact that has. Yeah.

0:53:06.360 --> 0:53:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Number twenty four Jubilee.

0:53:08.760 --> 0:53:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah correct correct correct correct great correct.

0:53:11.440 --> 0:53:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Iconic nineties introduction.

0:53:14.160 --> 0:53:15.760
<v Speaker 2>She's my twenty four too, Jason.

0:53:16.400 --> 0:53:21.520
<v Speaker 1>The number. You know, the mentorship with Wolverine is just

0:53:22.640 --> 0:53:26.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, Marvel Rivals appearance. You could you argue that

0:53:26.840 --> 0:53:31.959
<v Speaker 1>other characters should be over her for twenty four in lists, sure, but.

0:53:32.520 --> 0:53:34.839
<v Speaker 2>She is the reason X Men the animated series.

0:53:34.560 --> 0:53:37.359
<v Speaker 3>Exists essentially, you know, she is the core of the

0:53:37.400 --> 0:53:41.319
<v Speaker 3>original Night you know, the kind of like Mos kind

0:53:41.360 --> 0:53:43.239
<v Speaker 3>of era of the X Men is.

0:53:43.320 --> 0:53:46.520
<v Speaker 1>So she's the audience, She's the audience avatar for for

0:53:46.800 --> 0:53:52.200
<v Speaker 1>X Men the animated series. Yes, became a vampire, Aaron says.

0:53:52.360 --> 0:53:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Which had she became a mom too, had a baby.

0:53:55.960 --> 0:54:00.000
<v Speaker 1>And finally number twenty five, there were a lot of

0:54:00.239 --> 0:54:03.440
<v Speaker 1>factors that put him here. I think for me it

0:54:03.560 --> 0:54:07.160
<v Speaker 1>was the romance with Storm that was exciting factors.

0:54:07.320 --> 0:54:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Jason, I love you. We've met to be on this

0:54:09.200 --> 0:54:10.520
<v Speaker 2>podcast by friend.

0:54:10.920 --> 0:54:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Forge at number twenty five one of the coolest. I

0:54:14.960 --> 0:54:18.759
<v Speaker 1>think power sets of Emma often just can build technology,

0:54:18.800 --> 0:54:22.040
<v Speaker 1>doesn't even necessarily understand it. Can just build stuff, build

0:54:22.040 --> 0:54:24.640
<v Speaker 1>the neutralizer that stripped Storm of her powers. But then

0:54:24.680 --> 0:54:25.920
<v Speaker 1>she falls in love with him.

0:54:25.960 --> 0:54:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, I know.

0:54:27.760 --> 0:54:30.480
<v Speaker 3>That feels very echoed in what they're doing with Peter two,

0:54:30.640 --> 0:54:32.600
<v Speaker 3>So I'm interested to see why that goes.

0:54:33.000 --> 0:54:51.359
<v Speaker 1>Yes, So that is my list, Rosie, who is on

0:54:51.400 --> 0:54:51.839
<v Speaker 1>your list?

0:54:51.960 --> 0:54:54.759
<v Speaker 2>Jason? This is actual blying my mind.

0:54:54.760 --> 0:54:56.960
<v Speaker 3>So I just want to say something, Guys, Luckily as

0:54:56.960 --> 0:54:59.000
<v Speaker 3>we are Yappa's, you don't gonna have to listen to

0:54:59.000 --> 0:55:01.040
<v Speaker 3>me talk a lot about a lot these characters because

0:55:01.080 --> 0:55:03.840
<v Speaker 3>out of our twenty five Jason, there are only three

0:55:03.920 --> 0:55:04.960
<v Speaker 3>different characters.

0:55:05.280 --> 0:55:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Now, is the order different? Yes, so I will do

0:55:08.640 --> 0:55:09.080
<v Speaker 2>my order.

0:55:09.440 --> 0:55:11.480
<v Speaker 3>I do believe, and I've argued this for a long time,

0:55:11.520 --> 0:55:13.360
<v Speaker 3>so I don't think it's anything important. I believe in

0:55:13.360 --> 0:55:17.160
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty six most important X Men, most impactful x Men,

0:55:17.640 --> 0:55:21.200
<v Speaker 3>most impactful of superhero characters, especially if you lived in

0:55:21.239 --> 0:55:23.520
<v Speaker 3>the era, especially if you lived in London. If you

0:55:23.560 --> 0:55:25.360
<v Speaker 3>looked at the clothes, you can buy the merch you

0:55:25.360 --> 0:55:29.440
<v Speaker 3>can still buy the farraw around her casting is Storm.

0:55:29.680 --> 0:55:32.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm a Storm at number one. I think you can

0:55:32.320 --> 0:55:35.680
<v Speaker 3>interchange Storm and Wolverine depending on what era you were in. Now,

0:55:35.719 --> 0:55:38.000
<v Speaker 3>I do think that anyone would argue that Wolverine has

0:55:38.040 --> 0:55:40.600
<v Speaker 3>been in more comics. But look, I'm a vibes guy,

0:55:40.640 --> 0:55:43.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm a cool guy. I just think Storm is it.

0:55:43.160 --> 0:55:45.040
<v Speaker 3>She's a literal goddess. She's a mega level.

0:55:45.200 --> 0:55:47.880
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, then I'm a Wolverine at number two. Charles

0:55:47.880 --> 0:55:52.520
<v Speaker 2>and Magneto. Charles hits three, Magneto hits four. I'm the same, Jason.

0:55:52.760 --> 0:55:57.719
<v Speaker 3>Magneto is my only true villain that would make it

0:55:57.760 --> 0:55:58.759
<v Speaker 3>into the top ten here.

0:55:58.800 --> 0:56:01.279
<v Speaker 2>I think who hasn't you know. He's also in my

0:56:01.360 --> 0:56:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Top Villain's Top ten, Gene Gray at five. I agree

0:56:04.600 --> 0:56:06.759
<v Speaker 2>with you. She's the first student, Jason. She's got to

0:56:06.800 --> 0:56:09.760
<v Speaker 2>be there. She's important. I'm gonna be honest.

0:56:10.040 --> 0:56:12.359
<v Speaker 3>I when I was making this list over the last

0:56:12.480 --> 0:56:16.319
<v Speaker 3>like since Jason laid out the parameters, I was really

0:56:16.360 --> 0:56:19.200
<v Speaker 3>struggling to go from twenty to twenty five because I

0:56:19.280 --> 0:56:20.480
<v Speaker 3>kept ending up at thirty.

0:56:20.960 --> 0:56:21.480
<v Speaker 2>And at some.

0:56:21.520 --> 0:56:23.560
<v Speaker 3>Point, and this is to show my disregard for this

0:56:23.680 --> 0:56:26.560
<v Speaker 3>character and how objective this was, at some point I

0:56:26.640 --> 0:56:28.960
<v Speaker 3>realized that my top twenty five didn't even have Cyclops

0:56:28.960 --> 0:56:31.399
<v Speaker 3>in it, and I was like fuck, and I had

0:56:31.440 --> 0:56:33.560
<v Speaker 3>to go back and chop it because that is just

0:56:33.560 --> 0:56:35.799
<v Speaker 3>not a character I care that much about, and he

0:56:35.920 --> 0:56:37.120
<v Speaker 3>is easy to slip my mind.

0:56:37.200 --> 0:56:39.400
<v Speaker 2>But I agree with you. He should be here. He

0:56:39.520 --> 0:56:40.080
<v Speaker 2>has to be.

0:56:40.360 --> 0:56:42.319
<v Speaker 3>He's in my top six. He did not make it

0:56:42.320 --> 0:56:44.279
<v Speaker 3>into the top five. He is number six. But I

0:56:44.320 --> 0:56:47.239
<v Speaker 3>do think Scott Summers. I love him as Basilisk in

0:56:47.280 --> 0:56:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Age of X. I love his complexity post the Amorus stuff.

0:56:51.040 --> 0:56:52.840
<v Speaker 3>I think you make a great point about him becoming

0:56:52.840 --> 0:56:55.520
<v Speaker 3>the militant child of both Charles and Magneto, which is

0:56:55.560 --> 0:56:58.880
<v Speaker 3>an unexpected nice route for him, and I agree with you, Jason.

0:56:58.920 --> 0:57:01.799
<v Speaker 3>I love a relationship him and Jean. They gotta be there.

0:57:02.719 --> 0:57:05.920
<v Speaker 3>Next up for me is actually Rogue. I think that

0:57:06.080 --> 0:57:09.160
<v Speaker 3>is because I am an eighties nineties baby, so number seven.

0:57:08.960 --> 0:57:10.040
<v Speaker 2>For me is Rogue.

0:57:10.239 --> 0:57:13.680
<v Speaker 3>I think her powers are undeniable. I think her story

0:57:13.840 --> 0:57:16.520
<v Speaker 3>arc in the eighties with Captain Marvel is still one

0:57:16.560 --> 0:57:18.560
<v Speaker 3>of the best to ever do it. I also think

0:57:18.560 --> 0:57:21.440
<v Speaker 3>if you think about characters who have broken out of containment,

0:57:21.760 --> 0:57:24.479
<v Speaker 3>you end up in a situation where, like two years ago,

0:57:24.800 --> 0:57:27.560
<v Speaker 3>there was photos that billions of people around the world

0:57:27.640 --> 0:57:30.080
<v Speaker 3>had seen of Kiki Palm address as Rogue. Right, like,

0:57:30.120 --> 0:57:33.000
<v Speaker 3>there's something about this character that's so iconic, that so

0:57:33.080 --> 0:57:36.720
<v Speaker 3>eye catching it works. Next up for me at number

0:57:36.800 --> 0:57:39.920
<v Speaker 3>eight is Emma Frost. I love her so much. I

0:57:39.960 --> 0:57:42.200
<v Speaker 3>think she's a baddie. I think that relationship with Scott

0:57:42.280 --> 0:57:47.120
<v Speaker 3>is key. I think that in the current timeline you

0:57:47.240 --> 0:57:49.480
<v Speaker 3>have to have her on your top ten and also

0:57:49.520 --> 0:57:52.840
<v Speaker 3>as well when it comes to power sets. She's unbelievable.

0:57:52.960 --> 0:57:55.720
<v Speaker 3>But also costume design. I'm a big costume design guy.

0:57:56.000 --> 0:57:59.160
<v Speaker 3>The Frank Quietly era two thousand New X Men with

0:57:59.320 --> 0:58:02.440
<v Speaker 3>the X out of her chest like the inverse boob

0:58:02.480 --> 0:58:04.280
<v Speaker 3>window where the whole shirt is boob window.

0:58:04.360 --> 0:58:06.120
<v Speaker 2>It's still one of the most iconic to ever do it.

0:58:06.160 --> 0:58:08.240
<v Speaker 2>I love her. I agree with you with the nineties.

0:58:08.280 --> 0:58:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Now this is gonna be number nine Cable. I agree.

0:58:11.480 --> 0:58:13.800
<v Speaker 3>Jason not a character I particularly love, but you cannot

0:58:13.840 --> 0:58:17.880
<v Speaker 3>deny his impact. Also currently in the current standings, he's

0:58:17.880 --> 0:58:20.720
<v Speaker 3>been in Deadpool two. The fans know him. His arc

0:58:20.920 --> 0:58:23.520
<v Speaker 3>is Key to X Men ninety seven and people loved it.

0:58:23.600 --> 0:58:26.280
<v Speaker 3>People are understanding about the Hope Summer's line.

0:58:26.680 --> 0:58:26.920
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:58:27.360 --> 0:58:30.200
<v Speaker 3>I think he's a great entryway to the cosmic in

0:58:30.320 --> 0:58:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Marvel and the kind of crazy space stuff. Now here

0:58:33.080 --> 0:58:35.440
<v Speaker 3>is our first big diversion for me, and this is

0:58:35.520 --> 0:58:37.920
<v Speaker 3>actually more personal. But also I do think it can

0:58:37.960 --> 0:58:40.439
<v Speaker 3>be argued I think you can't really have Cable without

0:58:40.440 --> 0:58:42.400
<v Speaker 3>Bishop because Bishop, essentially.

0:58:42.040 --> 0:58:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Like is the reason he's still alive.

0:58:43.600 --> 0:58:46.400
<v Speaker 3>Right, So I'm going ten for Bishop, cheating a little

0:58:46.440 --> 0:58:48.040
<v Speaker 3>bit because I think people could argue he could not

0:58:48.120 --> 0:58:48.840
<v Speaker 3>be in the top ten.

0:58:48.880 --> 0:58:51.240
<v Speaker 2>But he can travel through time, he can create portals.

0:58:51.480 --> 0:58:53.560
<v Speaker 3>He is the reason that Cable is even still alive

0:58:53.640 --> 0:58:56.640
<v Speaker 3>to kill Apocalypse. He has been so helpful to the

0:58:56.760 --> 0:58:58.720
<v Speaker 3>X Men throughout time, and like you said, Jason, the

0:58:58.960 --> 0:58:59.960
<v Speaker 3>m is so iconic.

0:59:00.080 --> 0:59:01.440
<v Speaker 2>The mutant tattoo.

0:59:01.280 --> 0:59:04.320
<v Speaker 3>Now is there are the two of my first characters

0:59:04.320 --> 0:59:07.560
<v Speaker 3>that you did not mention, which I totally understand as

0:59:07.600 --> 0:59:09.880
<v Speaker 3>I think this will be a controversial choice, but I

0:59:10.480 --> 0:59:14.320
<v Speaker 3>think that post crocoa era posts the eighties and just

0:59:14.400 --> 0:59:17.040
<v Speaker 3>kind of in the general understanding of where the X

0:59:17.080 --> 0:59:19.760
<v Speaker 3>Men are now, and also as like queer characters. My

0:59:20.200 --> 0:59:23.520
<v Speaker 3>number eleven is actually Mistique. I think that she is

0:59:23.840 --> 0:59:25.840
<v Speaker 3>arguably an X Men as.

0:59:25.720 --> 0:59:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Well as a villain.

0:59:26.760 --> 0:59:29.520
<v Speaker 3>I think the entire franchise does not work with her.

0:59:29.560 --> 0:59:31.600
<v Speaker 3>This is also going to be really funny after I

0:59:31.600 --> 0:59:32.840
<v Speaker 3>bought her up in the D twenty three.

0:59:33.240 --> 0:59:36.560
<v Speaker 2>I think the love Mystique. I think that's fine. Okay,

0:59:36.680 --> 0:59:37.760
<v Speaker 2>you know what I think.

0:59:37.840 --> 0:59:40.280
<v Speaker 3>You I know, I think this is fine because I

0:59:40.400 --> 0:59:43.240
<v Speaker 3>did already argue with this in my head and I

0:59:43.280 --> 0:59:45.560
<v Speaker 3>was like, you know what Jason said they Jason never

0:59:45.560 --> 0:59:47.640
<v Speaker 3>said they had to be on the team, like, you know,

0:59:47.720 --> 0:59:50.400
<v Speaker 3>like franchise wise, I'm like, this is an X Men

0:59:50.440 --> 0:59:54.600
<v Speaker 3>by vibes, but that's also my gay agenda coming through

0:59:54.640 --> 0:59:56.360
<v Speaker 3>because my number eleven is Destiny.

0:59:56.480 --> 0:59:59.200
<v Speaker 2>I just think exactly right.

0:59:59.240 --> 1:00:00.920
<v Speaker 3>But but this is I want to say, those are

1:00:00.960 --> 1:00:03.280
<v Speaker 3>my only two yes that are not on the teams,

1:00:03.320 --> 1:00:08.040
<v Speaker 3>but that I think personally are so important to what

1:00:08.240 --> 1:00:11.160
<v Speaker 3>I love about the franchise and the franchise's growth and

1:00:11.200 --> 1:00:15.280
<v Speaker 3>the Krakoa eras specifically, Like I think that changed my

1:00:15.400 --> 1:00:17.120
<v Speaker 3>idea of who an X Men could be or what

1:00:17.160 --> 1:00:19.320
<v Speaker 3>the X Men were, so I included them both. That's

1:00:19.320 --> 1:00:21.600
<v Speaker 3>my ten and eleven. But then that's two of the

1:00:21.600 --> 1:00:24.720
<v Speaker 3>ones Jason didn't pick. We're back to the consensus, the

1:00:24.960 --> 1:00:29.800
<v Speaker 3>unconscious consensus. Next up for me is Gambit. I loved

1:00:29.880 --> 1:00:32.240
<v Speaker 3>him as a kid. I think I had a really

1:00:32.280 --> 1:00:35.760
<v Speaker 3>interesting relationship with him growing up because he's definitely kind

1:00:35.760 --> 1:00:37.320
<v Speaker 3>of sleazy when you read him in the comics.

1:00:37.320 --> 1:00:38.800
<v Speaker 2>He's always going for the younger girls.

1:00:38.840 --> 1:00:40.720
<v Speaker 3>But I like what they did, the kind of Gambit

1:00:40.720 --> 1:00:42.439
<v Speaker 3>propaganda participating seven.

1:00:43.360 --> 1:00:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, you know you brought it up already.

1:00:45.880 --> 1:00:48.520
<v Speaker 3>Like this is a problematic man, but I do think

1:00:48.560 --> 1:00:50.560
<v Speaker 3>he has to be in there for the team. Like,

1:00:50.760 --> 1:00:55.480
<v Speaker 3>if you talk about recognizability, cosplayability, the power set of

1:00:55.520 --> 1:00:59.760
<v Speaker 3>the cards, this man was barely in the original ninety

1:00:59.760 --> 1:01:03.960
<v Speaker 3>seven series. Compared to the original X Men ninety two

1:01:04.040 --> 1:01:06.400
<v Speaker 3>series compared to some of the other characters, but his

1:01:06.520 --> 1:01:09.800
<v Speaker 3>memes are undeniable. Yeah, like this is a recognizable member

1:01:09.800 --> 1:01:10.320
<v Speaker 3>of the X Men.

1:01:10.480 --> 1:01:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Next up for me is night Crawler.

1:01:14.080 --> 1:01:15.960
<v Speaker 3>For all the reasons you said, I'm a Kurt lover,

1:01:16.280 --> 1:01:19.439
<v Speaker 3>I think he's important. I think that By the way,

1:01:19.800 --> 1:01:22.520
<v Speaker 3>guess who is mum is It's mistake, so he doesn't

1:01:22.560 --> 1:01:25.880
<v Speaker 3>exist without her. So I think that he is just

1:01:25.920 --> 1:01:27.280
<v Speaker 3>a great character, great good guy.

1:01:27.360 --> 1:01:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Love my boy.

1:01:28.440 --> 1:01:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Beast another character that I'm kind of like whatever about,

1:01:31.760 --> 1:01:34.400
<v Speaker 3>but I do think movie wise, same with night Crawler.

1:01:34.560 --> 1:01:37.520
<v Speaker 3>There have been iterations of these little blue guys in

1:01:37.600 --> 1:01:40.240
<v Speaker 3>most of the movies, and that has a huge cultural

1:01:40.280 --> 1:01:43.600
<v Speaker 3>impact on people. I think Beast's intelligence is important. I

1:01:43.600 --> 1:01:46.400
<v Speaker 3>also think Evil Beast is interesting, which they could lean

1:01:46.480 --> 1:01:47.240
<v Speaker 3>into here.

1:01:47.840 --> 1:01:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Dark Beast. Yes, and then we have Katie Pride, Jason's favorite.

1:01:52.080 --> 1:01:55.680
<v Speaker 3>I love her, like you said, in character complicate comic

1:01:55.720 --> 1:01:58.320
<v Speaker 3>book past, but her powers are unquestionable.

1:01:58.400 --> 1:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Days of Future Past does not happen with that her.

1:02:00.480 --> 1:02:03.840
<v Speaker 3>I think they've never truly utilized her properly, especially even

1:02:03.880 --> 1:02:05.800
<v Speaker 3>though Days of Future Past movie is fun. You know,

1:02:05.840 --> 1:02:08.480
<v Speaker 3>they send Wolverine back instead this kind of they kind

1:02:08.480 --> 1:02:09.200
<v Speaker 3>of trip it out.

1:02:09.560 --> 1:02:11.480
<v Speaker 2>I would love to see a real kitty pride. I

1:02:11.520 --> 1:02:12.200
<v Speaker 2>love to see her.

1:02:12.440 --> 1:02:15.200
<v Speaker 3>Next up for me is Colossus. Obviously, those relationships and

1:02:15.200 --> 1:02:16.240
<v Speaker 3>those ships are big.

1:02:16.360 --> 1:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>I love Colossus.

1:02:17.560 --> 1:02:20.760
<v Speaker 3>You can tell I was doing a little memory association

1:02:20.840 --> 1:02:23.040
<v Speaker 3>here when I was ranking, because I also I put

1:02:23.080 --> 1:02:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Magic next his sister in my heart of heart, I

1:02:26.520 --> 1:02:29.640
<v Speaker 3>think that Magic would be much higher in this ranking.

1:02:30.000 --> 1:02:31.640
<v Speaker 3>But I think that for a lot of people who

1:02:31.680 --> 1:02:33.600
<v Speaker 3>have never met the X Men, they wouldn't know who

1:02:33.600 --> 1:02:35.480
<v Speaker 3>she is, like if they've never read a comic. So

1:02:35.520 --> 1:02:38.280
<v Speaker 3>I think that kind of argues that she has to

1:02:38.320 --> 1:02:41.120
<v Speaker 3>be this slow down. But I think our power sets unquestionable.

1:02:41.160 --> 1:02:43.600
<v Speaker 3>I think the vibes, like I'm not gonna lie, most

1:02:43.600 --> 1:02:47.040
<v Speaker 3>of these are thirty three percent vibes at least, but

1:02:47.160 --> 1:02:50.520
<v Speaker 3>her vibes are unquestionable. The Berzerker sword is fucking unbelievable.

1:02:51.160 --> 1:02:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Next up for me is also X twenty three. I'm

1:02:53.240 --> 1:02:54.840
<v Speaker 3>a huge Laura Kinney fan.

1:02:55.480 --> 1:02:56.120
<v Speaker 2>I love her.

1:02:56.240 --> 1:02:59.640
<v Speaker 3>I think that Marjorie Lou really fucking ate with the

1:02:59.680 --> 1:03:03.160
<v Speaker 3>origin or MYX. I think that we're in a position

1:03:03.280 --> 1:03:07.000
<v Speaker 3>where is very rare that a female character is able

1:03:07.040 --> 1:03:10.440
<v Speaker 3>to continue a mantle in a way that doesn't get eraised.

1:03:10.720 --> 1:03:13.680
<v Speaker 3>Captain Marvel's pretty much our biggest example of that, and

1:03:13.720 --> 1:03:16.320
<v Speaker 3>it's incredible how X twenty three has become so much

1:03:16.320 --> 1:03:17.840
<v Speaker 3>a part of that that now people are like, just

1:03:17.840 --> 1:03:20.479
<v Speaker 3>make her Wolverine. We actually don't need to cast anyone else,

1:03:20.760 --> 1:03:23.280
<v Speaker 3>Like just cast Laura kinneyon and call her a Wolverine,

1:03:23.280 --> 1:03:26.160
<v Speaker 3>like call cast Daphnie Keene. So I think that shows

1:03:26.200 --> 1:03:29.600
<v Speaker 3>her impact. I also think her experience of Weapon X

1:03:29.680 --> 1:03:31.800
<v Speaker 3>is some of the best we ever got. Next up,

1:03:31.960 --> 1:03:34.520
<v Speaker 3>is this why I'm very excited when you've said this, Jason.

1:03:34.680 --> 1:03:37.080
<v Speaker 3>I also added Forge to my list. I think Storm

1:03:37.120 --> 1:03:40.440
<v Speaker 3>does not exist without Forge. I also was really struggling

1:03:40.440 --> 1:03:42.840
<v Speaker 3>because I love a lot of the like anterior kind

1:03:42.840 --> 1:03:45.000
<v Speaker 3>of X Men, so like I really wanted to have

1:03:45.120 --> 1:03:47.439
<v Speaker 3>Chamber on here, but he just couldn't make it up

1:03:47.640 --> 1:03:49.800
<v Speaker 3>with like, there's not a Chamber T shirt.

1:03:49.840 --> 1:03:50.640
<v Speaker 2>You can buy a hot topic.

1:03:50.720 --> 1:03:52.320
<v Speaker 3>You can buy a T shirt with anyone else on

1:03:52.360 --> 1:03:54.960
<v Speaker 3>here a hot topic, even Forge. Now, like there is

1:03:55.000 --> 1:03:58.680
<v Speaker 3>a cultural understanding of who these characters are that many

1:03:58.720 --> 1:04:01.080
<v Speaker 3>of the other teams like the New Me and an

1:04:01.240 --> 1:04:03.360
<v Speaker 3>X Factor and X Force and stuff, have not fully

1:04:03.400 --> 1:04:06.720
<v Speaker 3>managed to do. And I think that Forge's appearance in

1:04:07.000 --> 1:04:11.480
<v Speaker 3>X ninety seven also adds to the cultural cachet, even

1:04:11.520 --> 1:04:14.640
<v Speaker 3>though I would say that the Forge stormship is kind

1:04:14.640 --> 1:04:18.440
<v Speaker 3>of like a low key shipping comics post Wakanda and

1:04:18.480 --> 1:04:20.600
<v Speaker 3>Storm and to Challa and Storm and Thora and stuff.

1:04:20.680 --> 1:04:23.000
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, he's there for me. Then I also have Silock.

1:04:23.120 --> 1:04:26.320
<v Speaker 3>I think she's amazing. Polaris also there for me. She's

1:04:26.440 --> 1:04:29.400
<v Speaker 3>number twenty three. I love Polaris. I love the relationship

1:04:29.400 --> 1:04:31.640
<v Speaker 3>with Magneto. She is also there for me as kind

1:04:31.680 --> 1:04:33.680
<v Speaker 3>of like an emotional stand in for the fact that

1:04:33.760 --> 1:04:35.560
<v Speaker 3>I cannot put Scarlet Witch on this.

1:04:35.800 --> 1:04:37.320
<v Speaker 2>It just does make sense.

1:04:37.640 --> 1:04:39.840
<v Speaker 3>To put her a Pietro on it in my opinion.

1:04:40.320 --> 1:04:42.400
<v Speaker 3>But as much as that they're you know, it's an Avengers,

1:04:42.440 --> 1:04:43.120
<v Speaker 3>they're Avengers.

1:04:43.160 --> 1:04:44.800
<v Speaker 2>But but I think that.

1:04:44.760 --> 1:04:48.440
<v Speaker 3>Magneto's connection to his children and the way he treats

1:04:48.440 --> 1:04:50.640
<v Speaker 3>them as such a key part of X men, such

1:04:50.680 --> 1:04:51.439
<v Speaker 3>a key part of who.

1:04:51.400 --> 1:04:53.960
<v Speaker 2>He is, and I think having Polaris represents that.

1:04:54.040 --> 1:04:56.400
<v Speaker 3>But also her power set's crazy, like I thought, the

1:04:56.400 --> 1:04:59.160
<v Speaker 3>way that they brought that to life. Also, just as

1:04:59.200 --> 1:05:02.000
<v Speaker 3>an x NERD, very very rare for a child to

1:05:02.080 --> 1:05:04.800
<v Speaker 3>take on their parents' powers, So I also kind of

1:05:04.840 --> 1:05:05.920
<v Speaker 3>think that's really cool.

1:05:06.680 --> 1:05:09.880
<v Speaker 2>And then I also have Jubilation Lee.

1:05:10.120 --> 1:05:12.360
<v Speaker 3>I think that if you were an X Men ninety

1:05:12.400 --> 1:05:15.320
<v Speaker 3>two lover, or you grew up in the nineties, you

1:05:15.400 --> 1:05:17.800
<v Speaker 3>cannot deny her. I think the fact that she's still

1:05:17.840 --> 1:05:20.800
<v Speaker 3>so popular and they've never been able to really successfully

1:05:21.120 --> 1:05:24.040
<v Speaker 3>adapt her. Obviously, we did get Lana Condor as Jubilee,

1:05:24.320 --> 1:05:26.240
<v Speaker 3>but they barely gave her any scenes.

1:05:26.280 --> 1:05:28.240
<v Speaker 2>We didn't really get to see her kind of blow up.

1:05:28.280 --> 1:05:31.040
<v Speaker 3>And the fact that she is still regularly fan arted

1:05:31.160 --> 1:05:34.360
<v Speaker 3>cosplays like her impact is just so much huger than

1:05:34.560 --> 1:05:36.480
<v Speaker 3>we can even you know. I think there's people who

1:05:36.520 --> 1:05:38.640
<v Speaker 3>could probably argue Jubilee could be in their top ten

1:05:39.040 --> 1:05:41.240
<v Speaker 3>if they grew up in the nineties post you know,

1:05:41.480 --> 1:05:43.840
<v Speaker 3>only Giant size and ninety two.

1:05:43.880 --> 1:05:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I think that would be very fair.

1:05:45.480 --> 1:05:48.120
<v Speaker 3>My final one is going to be controversial because there

1:05:48.160 --> 1:05:49.920
<v Speaker 3>are no hot topic t shirts of her. She has

1:05:49.960 --> 1:05:51.800
<v Speaker 3>only been in one comic book, but I think that

1:05:51.920 --> 1:05:55.360
<v Speaker 3>the narrative of that very book allows me to do that.

1:05:55.640 --> 1:05:56.360
<v Speaker 2>It is one of my.

1:05:56.320 --> 1:05:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Most favorite X Men comics that I've talked about many

1:05:58.600 --> 1:06:01.320
<v Speaker 3>times on here, but probably not for a while.

1:06:01.400 --> 1:06:03.040
<v Speaker 2>It is called Worst X Men Ever.

1:06:03.520 --> 1:06:06.800
<v Speaker 3>It is by This is a crazy tak, This is

1:06:06.840 --> 1:06:09.560
<v Speaker 3>a crazy take, But I think that the entire reveal

1:06:09.720 --> 1:06:11.960
<v Speaker 3>of this story is that she is the most important

1:06:12.080 --> 1:06:14.840
<v Speaker 3>X Men, so I'm going to include her. So basically,

1:06:15.000 --> 1:06:17.200
<v Speaker 3>Worst X Men Ever is about a guy called Bailey Hoskins.

1:06:17.240 --> 1:06:20.680
<v Speaker 3>It's written by Max Bemis of Say Anything fame, and

1:06:20.720 --> 1:06:23.200
<v Speaker 3>it's drawn by the incredible Michael Walsh has since become

1:06:23.200 --> 1:06:27.360
<v Speaker 3>one of the biggest hit makers in comics, and essentially

1:06:27.400 --> 1:06:28.960
<v Speaker 3>it's about a guy who has the worst power ever,

1:06:29.040 --> 1:06:29.680
<v Speaker 3>Bailey Hoskins.

1:06:29.720 --> 1:06:32.360
<v Speaker 2>He can only blow up once, but at the end of.

1:06:32.320 --> 1:06:34.560
<v Speaker 3>The book, in one of the reveals, I still remember

1:06:34.640 --> 1:06:37.240
<v Speaker 3>reading in the comic shop and just thinking, we're so profound.

1:06:37.280 --> 1:06:39.400
<v Speaker 2>And she has literally never been in another comic.

1:06:39.800 --> 1:06:42.160
<v Speaker 3>Nobody loves this character, and I think that makes it

1:06:42.160 --> 1:06:42.880
<v Speaker 3>even more special.

1:06:42.880 --> 1:06:44.360
<v Speaker 2>She's in this five issue series.

1:06:44.440 --> 1:06:47.840
<v Speaker 3>Her name is Miranda, and she is essentially a young

1:06:47.880 --> 1:06:50.440
<v Speaker 3>black woman who is a mutant whose power is to

1:06:50.840 --> 1:06:54.240
<v Speaker 3>control time and and kind of change things.

1:06:54.280 --> 1:06:55.880
<v Speaker 2>And her essential job has to.

1:06:55.880 --> 1:06:59.360
<v Speaker 3>Be in the background of X history, helping the X

1:06:59.400 --> 1:07:01.520
<v Speaker 3>Men and never getting any fucking.

1:07:02.400 --> 1:07:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Response or coverage.

1:07:04.120 --> 1:07:06.680
<v Speaker 3>Or anything, and she is essentially like what if the

1:07:06.720 --> 1:07:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Watcher was involved? And her whole life is to sit

1:07:10.320 --> 1:07:12.680
<v Speaker 3>in the background of other people getting the credit while

1:07:12.760 --> 1:07:13.800
<v Speaker 3>she manipulates time.

1:07:13.880 --> 1:07:14.720
<v Speaker 2>It's so well done.

1:07:14.800 --> 1:07:16.960
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was a fucking heartbreaking reveal. And at

1:07:17.000 --> 1:07:18.920
<v Speaker 3>the end even Bailey gets his moment. So that's my

1:07:19.240 --> 1:07:22.360
<v Speaker 3>wild card twenty five because narratively it fits him because

1:07:22.400 --> 1:07:24.080
<v Speaker 3>none of the X Men exist without her. If that

1:07:24.160 --> 1:07:27.120
<v Speaker 3>comic is still cannon, but no one's gonna be buying

1:07:27.120 --> 1:07:29.480
<v Speaker 3>a Miranda shirt, but I can. I would buy one

1:07:29.600 --> 1:07:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Disney if you made it. So she's my She's my

1:07:31.960 --> 1:07:35.080
<v Speaker 3>wild card because that narratively works, And I was struggling.

1:07:35.120 --> 1:07:38.120
<v Speaker 3>I think once you get past twenty this becomes way harder.

1:07:38.520 --> 1:07:41.640
<v Speaker 3>But Jason, I loved your formula because I think that

1:07:41.760 --> 1:07:47.240
<v Speaker 3>the impact conversation and the vibes conversation. It's funny because

1:07:47.280 --> 1:07:49.600
<v Speaker 3>so many of my choices were driven by that, and

1:07:49.720 --> 1:07:52.920
<v Speaker 3>yet we still ended up with twenty three the twenty

1:07:52.920 --> 1:07:54.479
<v Speaker 3>two out of twenty five that were the same.

1:07:55.960 --> 1:07:58.479
<v Speaker 1>Well, we'd love to hear what your top X men?

1:07:58.760 --> 1:08:01.160
