X-Men: First Class | Full Length Reaction!
🕑 Added 2022-09-02 05:36:30 +0000 UTCWHAAAAAAT THIS MOVIE WAS NOT WHAT I HAD EXPECTED *AT ALL*
From the beginning, you could tell I assumed it was something much different, but after the realization everything begins to click oh so well and I think this has to be in my top 2 favorite X-Men films so far. I say that often but they've honestly been hitting it out of the park with the most recent ones and blowing others out of the water. I also LOVE that the "Perfection" gif came from this - I HAD NO IDEA
It was a great origin story, and extremely sad by the end. But it all makes sense. And it makes me that much sadder thinking about it all over again. But I think it was wonderfully done and really captured your attention with the details included.
Thank you everyone!! I *really* hope you enjoy! And let me know if there's anything I could do to help make the videos more entertaining.
Have a wonderful day 🌻

That's how the X-Men movie always were. In fact, First Class is CLOSER to the comics than something like X2 is. Because at least First Class gets the imagination and visuals of X-Men right. The Singer films had the underlying theme of prejudice, but they never got the imagination right. X-Men is deep, but it's also fun. Matthew Vaughn understood that. He also understood that the actual First Class comics are kind of unadaptable in their original form. So of course he made changes. Earlier drafts that were closer to the comics weren't very good scripts, they're straight up hard to read in some cases (Especially the Origins Magneto draft).

I saw a TikTok yesterday that said something I'd never really considered about this film (and its sequels) that I'd never really considered: That this is a good movie, it's a good comic book movie, with good characters and good relationships...but it holds almost no connection to the actual comics. Not in how the characters are, now in how the character relationships are, not in how the character histories go...it's like the filmmakers got the barest idea of the characters from their names and threw everything out and made up their own stories. And yet, they still made a good comic book movie from it.

It is actually quite easy to empathize with Magneto point of view. Humans of different racial group throughout history can hardly stand each other, let alone a group of people who are literally genetically different and can be very threatening very quickly. We tend to fear the unknown and when we cannot control it, we will try to destroy it.
