Ain’t no way she just called him mega mind 😂😂😂

Before Ian McKellen was Gandalf the grey, he was the master of magnetism.

Mystique's last act, as senator Kelly, was actually a good thing for the mutants. The senator was the main proponent against them, and Mystique had him denounce his views.

Wolverine and Rogue's relationship is the highlight of this film for me

12:08 That's Ray Park, who also played Darth Maul in Star Wars Episode I

"that bald man - don't know his name" should bring Captain Picard back to Earth.

Fun fact: The scene where Mystique walks out the elevator impersonating Bobby had to be filmed using a very complicated split screen effect. It was not until after they had the shot that actor Shawn Ashmore thought to mention he had an identical twin brother. The crew were not pleased.

When Magneto controlled the gun to fire at that cop he was also the one who stopped the bullet, that’s why he said “I don’t think I can stop them all.” He was proving his control over his ability and testing Charles to see if he was willing to kill him or let the cops die to get Rogue to safety

“So everybody lived…except for, hopefully, Toad.” 😂

Something you might be interested to know is that Stan Lee originally wrote the X-Men as an allegory for the civil rights movement.

'The Mutant Registration Act' is somewhat similar to 'The Sokovia Accords' from Avengers Civil War.

The Marvel world is a bit weird. Heroes like the Avengers, who've gained powers from unnatural ways (accident, technology, science experiment) are celebrated by the public. But Mutants, who've gained their abilities naturally (through their genes), are hated by humans.

“I want to know what happened to him (Wolverine)”. …..buckle in.

Good ole, Bald Man Pacard, they call ‘em… 😂 She really is so precious!

This film is a great introduction to the characters - especially Hugh Jackman's great portrayal of Wolverine.

Please watch all of the Xmen Movies and not just the first few, they are awesome (some more some less, but all good imo) oh, and the XMen Origin Wolverine, and logan are also very, very good

its crazy that Toad is also Darth Maul ..... really great guy in real live.

Hugh Jackman, Sir Captain Xavier and Sir Magneto The Grey were perfectly cast.

Toad is played by martial artist/actor Ray Park, who gave a little Easter egg in his performance when he first fought Storm on Liberty Island… He twirled the pole just like his other most known character in Star Wars: Episode 1, The Phantom Menace, Darth Maul.

First off: "France is gonna be really mad to see that Wolverine messed up their present to us." Oh the laugh I just laughed. That was _really_ good. Thank you for that one. "This dude looks like a personified wolf." Despite a significant size advantage, a _lone_ Wolf will tend to shy away from a Wolverine. Wolverines are Mustelids, relatives of Badgers, Skunks, Minks, etc. They are extremely powerful for their size, and ferocious. They can kill prey many times their size, and far larger predators will at times decide that messing with a Wolverine's kill isn't worth the risk.

34:45 you may have missed it but Mystic sabotaged Cerebro. Jean Grey found the alteration, removed the "toxic" addition to Cerebro. That is why she was not injured like Charles was. He was affected by the sabotaged equipment. 36:10 in the comics Wolverine is in YELLOW SPANDEX. So that was a poke at the comics. You can also see it in the older X-Men cartoons. Watch these in RELEASE order as you are. Starting with X3 look for post credit scenes.

The actor playing Toad is the one who played Darth Maul in episode 1.

Bald Man= Sir Patrick Stewart. Magneto= Sir Ian McKellan.

The way I understand it is that Magneto has metal plates in the soles of his shoes and that's what he moves to make it look like flying. This is going to be a fun journey, I can't wait to see what you think of the other movies.

This was the 1st modern superhero movie that started movement that's still going strong almost a quarter century later. Total game changer.

5:40 "I could see this happening in real life" Ironic of you to say considering this movie is over 2 decades old, the cartoon is close to 30 years old, and the comics have been talking about the same things for over half a century. You're really going to LOVE this whole side of Marvel and I'm so here for it.

That actor who plays Toad, you've seen him before! He played Darth Maul from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Oh boy you're in for a wild ride with this franchise/series; I hope you see the others in the future.

When Bobby was being mean, that was Mystique pretending to be him. You missed her yellow eyes when she smirked.

In the comics, Wolverine is almost 200 years old, and has fought in every war we’ve ever been involved in, so he was hiding his dog tags because of the memories of the wars he’s been through.

Oh sweet, Emme! X-Men time! Let's go!

When this movie was released, I was 16 years old. The film will celebrate its 24th anniversary on July 14th.

Hey emme! Mutants have actually been born since ancient times. Great video!!

So, Marvel was on fire in the early 2000s when it came to 2nd movies. Spider-Man 2, X-Men 2, and Blade 2 are all fantastic movies that improve upon the previous films in multiple ways. Fun backstory about Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine: He didn't know anything about the character, and being Australian, wasn't aware that a wolverine is basically just a badger. So during his audition, he mostly stalked around the room like a wolf, growing and such. But he got the part, so...

Wolverine’s skeleton is laced with a fake metal called “adamantium”, which is nearly indestructible, and can cut through almost anything. He also has low-level super strength, low-level super speed, superhuman senses, and superhuman healing abilities.

34:03 I CACKLED at this observation 😂

The scene of Magento surrounded by the police was filmed in my city of Hamilton, Ontario. Thats the same location as the bank robbery scene in Umbrella Academy too!

“ So he was gonna be kidnapped by the roaring fella, but instead he was kidnapped…here.” I cannot watch while doing cardio I almost fell off a god damn treadmill. You had me snorting and people were staring. No more Emme!

Rogue can take absorb more than just peoples life-force and powers, she can also absorb their memories and physical capabilities.

As well as healing, Wolverine has animal instincts, as seen when they crash and he can sense danger.

So in some of the comic origins the troops who liberated Magneto fron the concentration camp was a joint task force lead by Captain America and Wolverine(Canadian special forces at the time) resulting in the two of them being the only heroes he really respects

Toad= Actor who played Darth Maul... :)

Fun fact: Ke Huy Quan (Short Round from Indiana Jones, Waymond from Everything Everywhere All At Once) did some of the fight choreography for this. There is a BTS clip online.

That's the first I've heard anyone call Charles Xavier "Megamind" 😆

A Wolverine isn’t a wolf. It’s a small aggressive mammal much like a Tasmanian devil.

I think people are confused the man that plays Bobby is shawn ashmore twin brother of Aaron ashmore neither have been in the boys although yes shawn ashmore was in cadet Kelly.

Ian Mckellen is a world's treasure!

The kid bending the gate is Erik Lennsher, a.k.a. Magneto.

"we're here at the x-men place" -Yes, yes we are. 😂

You called out some interesting dilemmas in the movie--like Wolverine versus Magneto. There's a guy called Pete Holmes that did some comedy skits called the "Ex-Men". Look it up, it is worth a laugh!

My guess is that Magneto didn't give Marie/Rogue quite all of his powers, hence he was still able to control Wolverine's claws.

The trilogy is a good call Emme. It's not the best interpretation of the comics but I think myself and a lot of people have been unfairly tough on them. Cinepals recently did new reactions on the X-Men movies and it's been nice to see their enthusiasm and takes on it. I've seen a bunch of reactors go in fully blind on X-Men 97 and they get by just fine. The show is self referential, but it also explains whatever it needs to. The original was made in 1992 but it was an adaptation for kids, influenced by network standards of censorship and guidelines. Honestly there was so much going on in the old show that it was a lot to wrap my head around. It was full of unusual things. It was a lot of content too. There was also a 1994 Spider-Man series that I liked even more! It crossed over with the X-Men series at one point. That pilot episode and many after had me going ballistic with enthusiasm and hype. I mostly read Spider-Man comics as a kid and it was like a dream seeing it adapted in a mostly faithful way. I had a hard time deciding which was better. For me I had to have both. They helped build my love for Marvel.

Easily my top 2 favorite Patrick Stewart performances are him as Charles Xavier and Jean-Luc Picard.

2:50 The Scary Movie you're thinking of (Scary Movie 4), parodies "War Of The Worlds" (2005), which has a similar intro to this movie.

Welcome to the X-men. "Hope you survive the experience." (what they tell new students to the school)

Magneto thinks Charles is manipulating the X-Men with his powers (like his own personal cult). Hence the 'Are you sure you saw what you saw?" line.

You should definitely check out all the X-men films, the later ones drop in quality but Days Of Future past and First class are two of the best X-men movies imo, as well as Logan.

The sad part is Senator Kelly isn’t entirely wrong in being afraid. Mutant powers are random and could easily be ridiculously dangerous without the mutant even being conscious of it. Like, imagine if a child is born that is just a walking nuclear reactor or has some kind of power that explodes people’s brain when the mutant gets upset. They can be effectively walking WMD’s and it could easily be argued that to protect the public the government should do *something* to protect everybody. Obviously it shouldn’t be sending giant robots to exterminate them or whatever, but maybe set up training through and organization like Xavier’s school or a general accounting of how their powers work and if they’re dangerous

Welcome to the X-Men. I’d been reading the X-Men comics for nearly 20 years when this movie came out, and it was so exciting to see these characters brought to the big screen so well. Although they rearranged the characters’ backstories to make them fit into one story (eg Bobby was one of the original X-Men, and Rogue had started off as a supervillain) it all came together very well. The scene at the end where a badly wounded Logan chooses to give his healing factor to save Rogue’s life was taken straight from the comics, and it really made me happy to see. Anywho, glad you liked the movie as well. Thanks for sharing your reaction 😊. If you choose to watch more of these, you’ll find that the quality can vary a lot, from excellent to sufficiently entertaining to … well … I personally was disappointed. Also, they’re a lot less concerned with maintaining a cohesive narrative than the Marvel movies. Characters who died in one movie might be alive in the next with no explanation given, for example. Best not to think about it too much..

In the comics, Rogue touched Carol Danvers and put her in a coma. She permanently absorbed her super strength and flight.

If you're watching X-Men movies for the sake of having context for Marvel movies, you should also watch the two Deadpool movies. They're... different. But they will be essential to a certain future Marvel release. Also! Stan Lee cameo at 24:11. The hot dog vendor

The way these characters are portrayed in these original movies are very different than the way they are portrayed in X-Men 97 (and the original X-Men The Animated series). These movies will give you basic understanding of the concepts and characters but some of them are portrayed very differently.

X-Men created by Stan Lee in the 1960s. Revived by Chris Claremont in 1975 and became the #1 Comic in the World...

You might have missed an inferance when it came to Wolverine's claws: They said the metal has been grafted to his bones, she did not say the claws were grafted to his hands. The inferrence is he does have claws naturally, just they have metal grafted to them.

Sorry about the multiple posts, but Wolverine/The X-Men have been my favorites since I started reading comics back in the early 80’s, and I get really excited (overly excited is more like it), when they come up as a topic.

40:56 To be fair, they actually _didn't_ see the Senator die. Storm saw him transform completely into water which flowed off the table and, I presume, into floor drains. Perhaps one day he'll reconstitute himself somewhere!

7:36 Hugh jackman never knew a wolverine was a real animal, all he heard was wolf. The director told him stop acting like a wolf, you are not a dog.

The X-Men are awesome! So many amazing characters and storylines from what really is the other half of the Marvel universe. If you end up really loving these characters it's worth watching all their films, even though there are some not so good movies, to see the journey they go on. Also the more X-Men movies you watch the better it'll make X-Men 97 for you. However much you watch, I'm glad we got this!

The guy that played toad also played Darth Maul in Star Wars 1.

Cyclops and Wolverine can work together on a team, but they never truly get along.

I would suggest watching them all in release order. Don't skip any so you'll know the lore and keep up with what's going on.

Emme it’s good you have a foundation of superhero knowledge. This addition of mutation seen through those eyes will certainly help. Still, the innocence you have while watching is pretty cool. Always a pleasure to hangout with you. ✌️😉💕

Hey, Emme! The X-Men are Marvel Comics superheroes created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1963. The film rights were sold to 20th-Century Fox studios in the 1990s. Therefore, no other Marvel characters could appear in them when the MCU came into existence later and nothing mutant-related could exist in the MCU. The X-Men movies proved team superhero movies were viable and are the reason we have an MCU and DCEU. One major problem with the franchise is that there was no plan going in to make a coherent saga so there are MANY CONTINUITY ERRORS! Another problem is that there is little FIDELITY to the comics other than surface level stuff and the franchise became a showcase for HUGH JACKMAN's Wolverine as the central focus; the comics are much more ensemble pieces. Wolverine is hugely popular among comic readers but the movies became largely his vehicle. When the franchise was rebooted with a younger cast to clear up continuity and fidelity issues, the only explanation for discrepancies between the two sets of films was that they were taking place in MULTIPLE TIMELINES. Despite the confusion, X-Men films are all very ENTERTAINING including the duds and boast terrific action and INCREDIBLE CASTS. The duality between frenemies Charles and Erik is the core of these films. They are allegorical representatives of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. The action sequences are predicated on coordinating and nullifying powers which laid the foundation for the best superhero fight ever in cinema as it utilizes the same principles: the airport battle in "Captain America: Civil War"! The student who phased through the door when Wolverine first meets Xavier is Katherine "Kitty" Pryde and Rogue's role as Logan's mentee in the film was actually Kitty's role in the comics. Rogue is a flight-capable heavy hitting adult in the comics who acquired those abilities when she permanently absorbed Carol "Captain Marvel" Danvers' powers by maintaining contact too long! That incident stripped Carol of her memories and put her in a coma! Jean stopped the bullet from killing the cop but wasn't pyschically dexterous enough to stop a barrage which is why Charles stood down at the train station. Mutants are born with latent powers that usually manifest at puberty. They are a different species of humanity called HOMO SUPERIOR. Other superheroes acquired their powers in accidents and experiments. Wolverine smelled Mystique's pheromonal scent which differed from Storm's which is how he knew her appearance to be false. He has heightened senses like a predatory animal. The yellow spandex quip directed at Logan by Scott is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Wolverine's comic accurate costume now seen in the "Deadpool & Wolverine" trailer! Every point Senator Kelly made is absolutely valid and it would be ill-considered to dismiss them out of hand. The argument is 100% valid. Would you want your kid to go to school with a kid who could shoot lasers from their eyes or shoot flames from their fingers? I think not. Now that Disney owns the film rights, fans are excited to see Kevin Feige adapt them properly. As always, since these are films based on Marvel Comics, STAN LEE has a cameo in most of them. In "X-Men", he was a hot dog vendor on the beach when Senator Kelly emerges from the surf.

As you travel through this X-men journey pay mind to Hugh Jackmans physical transformation throughout the years

Gotta watch em all they are soooo good, we can't spoil any of it either!

A wolverine is not a wolf. It is a very vicious weasel.

X-Men movies are 5% faithful to the comics. X-Men '97, the animated show, is roughly 50% faithful to the original comics. They are *WILDLY* different from each other. So, if your plan was to watch this so you'd know something about the X-Men... you couldn't have made a worse choice. 😅 It will only confuse you further and create *A MILLION* of misconceptions that you'll have trouble erasing from your mind once you start X-Men '97. 😁

Rogue has a bit of touch 'telepathy' in that she also can lightly feel minds when touching, also she absorbs their personalities a bit. So has to be interesting when she touches someone like Bobby or Logan and can see their (at least general) feelings toward her.

FYI I love that the writer and director of The X-men movies is a bisexual man because Stan Lee was very clear on multiple occasions that X-men is meant to be a metaphor for social justice for LGBT+ and other sexual minorities and yes racial minorities to a degree but the metaphor based on how the X-gene works is much more obviously applicable to LGBT+ people. And yes wolverine was worried about rogue as a young girl because in the Novel-Version of the first X-men movie Rogue was being held by 3 truckers not just one and yes they had evil lewd intentions toward her but Wolverine saved her. I figure this does not count as spoilers it only relates to Novel-Version of the first film.

A lot of girls had their hair done like that after this came out. I distinctly remember the 20 year old who had just stopped being a horribly fake blonde going with this at my job.

39:11. Because once Mystique copies ya, it's a case of monkey-see, monkey do..If you're a trained MMA fighter, she gets that ability as well.

Mutants typically manifest their around the time they go through puberty, unless they have a very serious emotional event before puberty.

I loved your reaction to this movie! I guess I take it for granted that someone your age has no knowledge of this franchise or anything related to the world of X-men, especially since this movie came out 24 years ago. It's actually quite refreshing to get to see your perspective.

i hope you watch them all, you will enjoy the journey of it,,,

That was so much fun! I'd say I'm really looking forward to the journey, but I'm only actually looking forward to the X2. After that we shall part ways as friends, and subscribed to catch the next fun release ❤

fun little fact for you... remember a scene in wandavision when wanda came out of the HEX to say to the agents to f off? after they have sent a drone to eliminate her? when she controlled all the soldiers to make them point their guns at the boss guy? well it was interesting scene because it is quite similar to the scene here where magneto came out of the train station and turned their guns against them.. and it is interesting because wanda and pietro are magneto's kids...

It's not explained in the movies, but in the comics at least Cyclops lost the ability to control his power after a head injury as a kid, this is why he requires the special lenses in his sunglasses and visor. His power is potentially strong enough to "punch a hole through a mountain" as it is just raw concussive force in the form of an energy beam.

It was a magnetic field. Charles mentioned that Erik could make magnetic fields, that was one of his powers.

35:38 and that is why I will always lean toward erik rather than charles

Hugh Jackman is iconic af 🙌 Excited for you to see more 😮

The Logan movie is going to wreck your feels in a way they've never been wrecked..

4:14 the not too distant future is next Sunday AD

I wish this movie and movies had a theme song lol like the cartoon does. And yea Scott and Logan do be fighting alot but Jean and Scott are loyal to each other they been together for years. You could at least watch a recap of the original animated series before you watch 97 cause Rogue's vastly different and has some other X men that the movies never mention

That’s ironic: just as you were mentioning how Sabertooth looks like a character for Twilight, I got a notification about a separate KZfaqr doing a reaction _to_ Twilight…

Magneto's plan to make humans into mutants is not a typical scheme of his. I'm not sure why they made it the plot.

Hello Emme!😊 Both the X-Men films and the prequels are very good, and worth reacting to.😉 The X-Men films improve as they go along, too. Great reactions to your very first X-Men film, Emme!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The X-Men are just a better team than the Avengers.

29:45 I died laughing, you have a good sense of humour.

If you watch the Toby Maguire Spiderman movies, you will see this same friends to enemies trope, plus a spoiler twist.

Watch them in release order including Deadpool as there are occasionally spoilers in those movies for Xmen movies.

You have to watch X-Men: The Animated Series Seasons 1-5 before watching X-Men '97. The movies aren't related or connected to the animated series so watch the first 5 seasons of X-Men before watching X-Men '97.
