Awesome X-men

“Charles, the world is not the same as it was. Mutants – they’re gone now.” YouTuber afauclair intensified the already somber trailer for Logan, adding scenes from the past FOX X-Men movies to contextualize Wolverine’s exhaustion and loss.

Professor X is suffering from Alzheimer’s, Wolverine’s healing powers are failing him, and the rest of the X-Men are dead. But when they discover that Mister Sinister is hunting down a young girl that was cloned from Logan’s DNA, the student and his teacher go on one last ride.

Whether you loved it, hated it, or just thought it was “meh” like we did, the guys at Screen Junkies are here to shoot all kinds of holes in the latest X-Men film, and reminding us that sometimes the best thing you can do with a beloved franchise is give it some time off.

How It Should Have Ended questions both the quantity and quality of the Horsemen, the role of Magneto’s family, and how all the destruction could’ve been avoided if Apocalypse just opened up a hair salon. Stay fierce, Beast.

Trailer mutilator Aldo Jones is back at it with this awesome defilement of the X-Men: Apocalypse trailer. It’s filled with a ton of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it-gags, including a hilarious Mystique moment.

Colin Furze adds to his DIY X-Men gizmos this portable liquid nitrogen pack. Along with a palm-mounted nozzle, it allows him to chill and freeze objects on the go. If there’s anyone who can will make Bobby Drake’s ice slides, it’s this guy.

Guitarist ERock presents his head-banging edition of the earworm that is the opening title music from the 1990’s X-Men animated series. Seriously, we have no idea why they don’t start using this as the theme for the new movies.

Screen Junkies tips its hat to the 90’s X-Men cartoon that introduced a generation of kids to the world of Marvel, despite using stereotypes to fight stereotypes and having egg-suckin’ piece of gutter trash animation.

Just in time for X-Men: Apocalypse, the latest in Burger Fiction’s excellent series of superhero videos looks at how we got from a pointy eared, yellow armored Wolverine to Hugh Jackman’s moody, Johnny Cash meets Edward Scissorhands representation of the hero.

Unlike many recent superhero movies, Fox’s X-Men films have shied away from colorful and distinctive costumes. Kaptain Kristian points out how ironic this is, given that this team symbolizes oppressed minorities accepting who they are and standing up for their identities.

Cyclops goes up against Storm, Beast trades blows with Psylocke and the dashing Oscar Isaac turns into Jabba the Hutt’s left nut in the final trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse. We can’t wait to see how Jubilee will be of absolutely no use to anyone.

The young X-Men must take on their ultimate foe, the very first mutant, a powerful god-like creature who has amassed the powers of numerous other mutants, awakens after lying dormant for thousands of years, and is now hellbent on destroying the Earth.

“Everything they’ve built will fall!” Olivia Munn’s Psylocke is fully revealed and the X-Men’s god-like villain wreaks havoc on a scale befitting a man who calls himself Apocalypse in the film’s Super Bowl spot.

YouTuber Philysteak tried his best to recreate X-Men: Apocalypse‘s debut trailer using scenes from the awesome X-Men animated series. Sophie Turner’s bad delivery pierces through nostalgia, but we do get to see Gambit and a high tech computer with a VHS player.

Bryan Singer returns once again to the X-Men franchise, jumping forward to 1983 this time, and introducing the evil mutant Apocalypse, a villain whose power is to absorb the powers of other mutants. And Professor X finally shaves his head.

Illustrator Josh Lynch has an ongoing series of illustrations where he turns Marvel superheroes into dogs. We can’t decide which one we like best. MODOG is probably the right answer, but we love the Mr. Fantastic dachshund so much.

James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender know that the bond between Magneto and Professor X in the X-Men reboots is certainly special. But they’re not as into it as a McBender fan who made a sweet montage of their scenes.

Patrick Willems imagines what a Wes Anderson X-Men movie would be like. Light brown filter? Check. Stoic female? Check. Building cross-section? Check. Shoddy costumes? Nope. No way Wes would sign off on that. (Thanks Orion!)

We already know that cats can be major assholes. As Kaipotainment’s video proves, we really don’t want these deceptively cute furrballs to gain the ability to willfully manipulate metal objects.

IGN made this polished chronological enumeration of characters who became part of the X-Men, from the fab five to the increasingly varied and confusing kids of the 2000s. Then there’s… nah, that’s all of them.

(SPOILERS) Visual effects studio Rising Sun Pictures helped create the scene in X-Men: Days of Future Past where Quicksilver bamboozled the Pentagon’s guards. Check out how the scene was made in this brief behind-the-scenes video.

The Honest Trailers guys do their best to disrespect what was actually a good movie that was overshadowed by two other great Marvel movies released in the same year. Though their Terminator 2 plot observation is a little too true.

Madman Colin Furze continues to build his own personal arsenal of X-Men abilities, this time replicating Pyro’s fiery skills with tiny, but mighty wrist mounted flamethrowers. Impressive, but we don’t think he’ll be able to do Deadpool.
