Let's acknowledge the fact that a young Scott Summers performed the Bird Box challenge before it was cool. And it's a good idea that Bryan Singer made Days of Future Past, rewriting the X-Men franchise because otherwise, we are f*cked. However, it is confusing anyway with everything we know about them. Mystique is suddenly a good guy, Logan is here for no reason, Magneto is working in a steel mill.
An ancient mutant has resurfaced feeling "betrayed" because humans are running the world. He digs up a section of Age of Ultron and decides to wipe humanity off the face of the planet, which brings me back to the Inhumans debacle, in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Hive, in the form of Grant Ward, wants to wipe off the humanity from the face of the planet Mutants and Inhumans are one and the same.
Mystique, starting off trafficking mutants winds up on Professor X's doorstep asking for help. Alex Summers takes his brother to the school to recruit him. Magneto's family is unfairly killed. Jean Grey unfurled everything in a way we've never seen before and saved the day.
Quicksilver f*cking kills it in this franchise. He's is probably the best thing to happen in this franchise, which makes it weird when he exists in another universe. He's also called Peter Maximoff in that one. It was a cute mention that he hints his mother knowing a guy who could bend metal. How does he know?
Apocalypse could have been the greatest villain Marvel ever created if it weren't for the fact that he tried to kill every mutant's hero in the broad daylight. Why does he feel betrayed because mutants are being overrun? People are just getting used to the fact that mutants exist in the last ten movie years, apparently, and now there's this mutant god that demands everyone to bow down or die.
And you know, Professor, you wonder why everyone hates you and your kind? Maybe it's because you call yourselves mutants. Mutation is often resembling a bad thing. Can you think of another name to call yourselves? I know the Avengers was taken as well as the Defenders. There are obviously more than four fantastic superheroes. I'm stuck here, but I hope you know what I'm talking about.
It was weird seeing Angel in this timeline since he is technically ten years old, and Storm is a bad guy. Why is that? Oh, oh, it's so we can cram the original characters in somehow. And if Beast is Charles' right-hand man, what happened that we didn't know he existed until the worse movie.
Then there's Jean Grey. In the first trilogy, her power was bottled up to the point that she kills Professor X and Logan had to kill her to save her and humanity. In the final act, Charles calls out to her to unfurl and unleash. Something tells me that since this after Days of Future Past in the past line, Logan may have told Charles to not close off Jean's mind. Because of that, she saves the world, and she is more confident in herself that she could control her power that she once feared.
One more thing about Magneto. Every time, it becomes harder and harder to not root for him. He has a plausible motive, hating humans and all. But he lacks thinking it through in wanting to kill them all, believing all humans are against mutants. To be fair, we haven't seen a human portrayed to have supported mutants. Then they kill his family in front of him. Oh my God. At this point, I support Magneto. Kill all humans.
I hope you liked this. Be sure to subscribe and leave a comment about what you thought or if you want to recommend a movie for me to review. Thank you for reading. I'll return on Friday with another movie. See you then.
