X-Men: Apocalypse Cartoon Trailer

X-Men: Apocalypse Cartoon Trailer

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.

A series of ridiculous, yet somehow still useful designs for beds designed to protect sleepers from falling earthquake debris, by covering them with a sturdy roof and/or sealing them inside a metal coffin of sorts. It’s better than being crushed, right?
