X-Month is here!! What did everyone think of the intro for this month?

[simple-commentator-not-rea]

You know, the rivalry between Magneto and Professor X in this movie feels surprisingly more genuine in a weird way when you consider that they're played by actors who have one of the most infamous celebrity bromances in history

[Bluetailc]

Is no one going to address the fact that rouge can only fly because she stole the powers from Ms. Marvel so this is a GOOD portrayal of a younger rouge.

[artemiswolf]

“He can sing, he can dance, he can host the oscars and somehow still be credible as a badass”

Terry Crews ?

[jasonwood]

In case anyone hasn't already mentioned it Magneto's helmet is metal... I'm pretty sure he's not just gonna let prof x pull it off... just saying

[jonathangreene]

Best audience moment watching the film in theatres back in 2000: some woman obviously unfamiliar with the source material yells out "Holy S***!" when Logan pops his claws for the first time.

[EvilgidgitEver]

Fun fact everyone probably already knows: The truck driver who drops Rogue off is the voice actor for Beast in X-Men: The Animated Series.

[jonathangreene]

Rogue WAS a confused, angry teenager when she first debuted in the comics, who hadn't sucked away and copied Miss Marvel's powers yet.

[Alondro]

Rogue didn't initially have all those other powers.

She gained them from draining Miss Marvel almost to death.

[sliphstream]

You missed my favorite line in the movie. There is a scene in the statue of liberty were Cyclops holds Wolverine at arm's length because he isnt sure if its mystique or not. When Cyclops asked him to prove his identity Wolverine calls him a dick. Cyclops concedes the argument and just says yeah OK

[brandonprater]

ROGUE: Professor, my powers are ruining my life! I HATE being a mutant!!
XAVIER: I see... perhaps some nice HISTORY homework would cheer you up!

[jaythosonmp]

what are you doing in the comments? GET TO HISTORY CLASS

[ErmenBlankenberg]

Well, it's quite obvious that the intention with Rogue was to transform her into badass across the trilogy. Sadly, the plan just...












...didn't fly.

[oneearrabbit]

Here’s the thing with Rogue: every picture you showed of her, every description of her personality was of her AFTER she absorbed Ms. Marvel’s psyche and Kree powers. It’s easy to be confident and spew one-liners when you have super strength, flight, near invulnerability and someone else’s mind.

[JokermanUnoBurnerAccount]

Yeah that Sabertooth Wolverine rivalry could’ve been better, but X and Magneto’s is infinitely more important. If I could only have one to focus on in this movie, it’s theirs.

[Vakama]

Hugh Jackman was the best Wolverine in the X-men film franchise and he still is. When I first saw this movie, I fell in love with it right away. Ian Mckellen as Magneto and Patrick Steward as Professor X, hell Yeah! I love the moment that Logan and Rouge had in that train scene, Logan tries to be a good brother/father figure for her and it works perfectly.

[brandonvines]

2000 was almost 20 years ago? Good Lord I feel old...

[Jose-sepu]

Movie is almost two decades old, Jesus.

And without this movie, there wouldnt be an MCU.

[PsychicGirl]

Wasted opportunity: What happens to a toad when it's hit by lightning?

It croaks.

[TheKnightPatriot]

Mystique actually has a healing factor, that's how she survived.
