Little background on the Toad struck by lightning line for anyone interested. There was initially supposed to be a running rivalry between Storm and Toad throughout the movie where’d he say things like “do you know what happens to a toad when it’s cornered” or “do you know what happens a toad when it senses danger” so Storm’s one liner to him was intended to be a way of her telling him to shut the hell up about toads, but then all the preceding lines were cut but the final one was left in, just making Storm look like an idiot.
@RogueVader1996 What’s really funny is that- in the interview in which Joss Whedon revealed that- he didn’t admit that that was one of the lines until the interviewer brought it up. Then he tried to pass the blame on to Halle Berry by saying that “she should have been more sarcastic with the line”.
Halle Berry would have still fucked it up
That line sucks even in that context lol
It’s the worst line ever. That line should have ended the entire franchise at that moment.
@LiMT Why? We got X2, First Class, Days of Furure Past, both Deadpools and Logan out of it
Michael Fassbender as Magneto was probably one of the most solid casting choices made in any comic book movie. Just a shame the writing couldn’t keep up with his acting over the course of those movies.
Even in the bad movies he’s like the best part Of them.
Not as solid as JK Simmons…as Commissioner Gordon.
yup and quicksilver
I still laugh at the man’s name tho.
Michael Ass Bender.
Classic.
first class and dofp were pretty top tier
Broooooo I’ve always thought Wolverine was too tall in the movies.
He’s legit supposed to be a little stocky dude
Cosmonaut a all star Fr
I keep seeing Primm in random comment sections of shit I watch 😂
You’re right, when Hugh Jackman was auditioning for the role the producers initially figured he was too tall to play Wolverine, but after seeing how perfect he was as the character they decided to hire him anyways, which was an excellent choice
Black All Star ⭐️
He was the one hero for us shorties! Love Jackman though, someone just tell him to hunch down or something if he does the role again
I disagree about Magneto’s plan in the first movie being stupid. Considering how mutants are mistreat by humans and suffer prejuice just for being different, it makes sense that Magneto biggest scheme of revenge would involve turn the world leaders into mutants, turning them into the same persons they fear and hate.
I’m really surprised Marcus didn’t make a joke about that scene in the very last movie where Professor X is trying to talk people down and Magneto says “You’re always sorry Charles. And there’s always a speech. But no one cares.” Love that line. Good joke material
One of the saddest things about Apocalypse to me was how they failed to use Psylocke, cause I just feel back for the actress, Olivia Munn. She’s actually a big fan of the character, and was super excited to play her, did a ton of training and read more comics, and they even got a comic-accurate eye-catching costume unlike every other black jumpsuit in the movie… only for the directer to know nothing about her (to the point where the actress had to explain the character to the director), and she gets like 1 minute of screen time and 2 lines. I just feel bad for her.
She still got to keep the katana prop, however.
Hate her comic costume though. At least make it like an energy suit or something
@At0mS8 You like Aaron Sorkin?
@LJK401 Yeah, at least what I’ve seen from him: The Newsroom, The Social Network, Molly’s Game and The Trial of the Chicago Seven were all great, in my opinion. Some are better than others but overall I like his writing style a lot.
@At0mS8 Agree to disagree
@WatchTarot fuck dude, she just did not get a break…
the sentinels in days of future past were so terrifying that in the theater i got such a devastating sense of DREAD when they appeared. the way the story built the oncoming doom, and the way they truly felt unbeatable… i’ll always remember it.
it’s one reason why i’ll rewatch first class so often but can’t go back to days of future past.
You know X-Men: Evolution had a scene from late in the series where all of the mutants’ identities and powers were revealed and Jean Grey was cut from her basketball team and had all of her scholastic achievements taken away because it couldn’t be determined whether or not she used her powers to cheat. I cared about her and her struggles more in that one scene than all of the X-Men movies combined.
Why did they forgo showing students learning to control their powers for Wolverine drama?
Ah yes, X Men Evolution. Most underated X Men show, alongside Wolverine and the X-Men. They also gave us Goth Rouge
@Nicolás Riveros Wolverine and the X-Men had a lot of similar problems to the movies. Still better than the 90s cartoon though
I think that really nails home the human cost of mutation and ostracizing people with those powers, same with Spike’s story. The movies accidentally make the villains points valid numerous times in how dangerous they are.
I love X-Men evolutions, I actually cared for the characters and the story in that
That scene where Angel is trying to cut off his wings was fucking insane. It went hard. Really dark and brutal for a PG-13 film, and the acting of the kid and the father was damn good, too.
That scene scared the shit out of me as a kid and now realising how dark the reason behind it is really something else.
This is a great example of pushing the PG-13 rating and I Really Hate that the MCU doesn’t do stuff like this and I really do hope they do it with Moon Knight
Anyone else find the first X-Men freaky too? It literally begins with the Holocaust
@Marcus Fenix875 They kinda pushed the PG-13 with that blood on the shield scene in Falcon and The Winter Soldier, I hope we will get more scenes like that when necessary
The “Do you know what happens to a toad” line is a hold over from an earlier draft of the script where Toad the character had more dialogue and would routinely say weird toad/frog facts relating to the situation (the example given was the “you know what happens to a toad when you place it in a pan of water and heat it” thing) so it made sense in that context as a witty rejoinder to Toad’s catchphrase, but they decided to cut almost all of Toad’s dialogue so now it’s a punchline with no set up and sounds really fuckin’ stupid.
@Anonymous I toadally agree
@Nguyen Duy I dunno, that’s a bit of a leap.
To add to your comment, it was Joss Whedon who wrote it.
thats a dumb character trait anyways
Maybe he needs to be send to a mental wart
