Comments

Jackal

Lvoe it thank you

Loro

It’s crazy messing up adapting the Phoenix saga twice

Jimmy H Lam

Did they skip Logan? Can't skip Logan. Just can't!

roxannesimp

"Hey adora😺" welcome back from the hiatus

Christopher French

I suspect it'll be next, followed by Deadpool 2 and then Deadpool & Wolverine

Jimmy H Lam

In release Order Logan and DP2 come before Dark Phoenix though right?

bc@t

Okay, this is hilarious.🤣 EVENTUALLY, we'll get to Logan.

L Freya

I've been really loving these X-Men reactions, they are quite fun to watch, thanks! Fingers crossed they have the new X-Men '97 season on the list soon, it is probably my favorite of the franchise so far.

Jaffar Black Fang

There's also the og X-Men 90s cartoon which that is a sequel to X-Men evolution Wolverine and the X-Men Some other great X-Men cartoons they can check out too

Nym

WELCOME BACK ADORA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tavaris Trimble

Idk if you have plans to do it but X-men 97 is a must watch

Jujubaru T.

Yea, A new Alicia/Adora reaction.

Jaffar Black Fang

I remember watching this movie and feeling the same sense of numbness as I did Fan4stick

L Freya

For sure! I just would hope we could get '97 sooner than later, as it's only like ~10 episodes and IMO the best of the bunch. Where there's a lot of dead weight over the 100s of episodes of the other series I feel - I couldn't get through the OG re-watch I started, but I did watch the other two series after '97 for the first time and they were pretty fun, but not up to '97 for me! One issue in general I think is there's so many character changes show to show that to me what's cannon and what's not can get very muddy or completely backwards one show to the next. And they all kinda just retread the same story beats over and over, where '97 really hit hard, and has a pretty fantastic budget behind it comparatively too which was a lot of fun! In favor of going in order though, if you have the willpower, the OP from '97 hits hard as fuck, where I imagine if you start with '97 that won't carry the same hype to it!

ExcelDamage

i believe so, but i think alicia said she might be doing those without adora? i could be misremembering though, hopefully logan is soon though!

ExcelDamage

aah the movie that made me realise last stand really wasnt that bad at all

Silent Eric

I'm pleasantly surprised to see Adora back! These have been a lot of fun!

Ivan

Welcome Back Adora, I missed you :)

Jaffar Black Fang

Honestly one of my favorite tropes is when the heroes have better tech than any government/branch/company ect Like how Iron man has all this amazing ground breaking tech that he wont (And justifiably) share with the government

MyOnisan

welcome back adora <3

Gastar805

Did she already watch Logan? Or is she waiting for later to watch it?

Slate

Could also just be timeline wise, can't watch Deadpool 2 before Logan and it doesn't really make sense to watch Logan and then Dark Phoenix

Gastar805

Sure but logan comes after dark Pheonix chronology, so I think it works.

5Tom51

We YEARN for Logan with Adora! We will not STAND for another 50 Shades watch!! Barricades!! TO THE BARRICADES MY FELLOW WOR- uh I mean... patrons. :)

Mojo

Can't believe PirateSoftware copied Charles Xavier.

0megaJ0ker

Don't they have to watch the previous animated series for context? I mean the one from the 90's.

Faroth

YAY! Adora's back! more x-men!

Phantom Penance

If you read the comics, you would not BELIEVE how many times Xavier manipulated his students’ minds.

Scrubthulhu

The cop story from Alicia's hometown hurts my soul. Holy fuck, that guy was rotten.

Scrubthulhu

Like truly, that man was evil for shutting his door on a 13 year old crying for help like that.

Jacob Funckes

Did you really have to watch this movie, it's pretty universally agreed that it's just the worst, there's no value in watching it. You couldn't at least have watched Logan first?

Phantom Penance

Plus I’m starting to understand the Phoenix’s motives: it’s trying to help Jean, in its own way. Course the Phoenix is a creature of death and rebirth. Maybe its thought process is by destroying what is causing Jean pain—the world— Jean herself will start to improve.

Scrubthulhu

Holy shit, Bed Rot Besties D&D with Adora as DM would be awesome!

Jaffar Black Fang

Not really Charles admitted he was wrong instead of 100 doupling down

MMDXXX

UUUUUGH! Do we really have to watch this pointless boring garbage film before Logan?... I guess so... Please tell me the wait for Logan won't be too much longer?

MMDXXX

Technically you were supposed to watch Logan and Deadpool 2 before this, because Dark Phoenix came out in 2019, over 2 years after those films.

MMDXXX

Or Cyberpunk RED?

MMDXXX

Well maybe she originally planned to, before Adora recently came back from her hiatus?

MMDXXX

Agreed.

Notto

I guess we’re watching this. I heard it’s straight dogshit but hopefully not

Faroth

i think thats why she watch it before logan, also she always says that she will make her own opinions of each mvie, she even watched fantastic4 2015 and agreed it wa trash You cannot give an opinion if you didnt watched the movies, so far she has liked some movies that a lot of commenters here say are bad

Kaz

Believe in Azu's list

Joker33

If Adora DM'd a campaign for Alica and co I'd tune in to it.

nervouspirate

Yeah, but then you leave X-men on this and New Mutants, giving you with a bad taste in your mouth like the rest of us.

Cole Savoie

Jean Gray is like Gold Ship. If she decides she wants to win theres not much you can do.

Trey Goldsworthy

Exactly, they should know about the 90s animated Marvel stuff before just diving into X-men 97 with no context, it’s like watching Infinity War without seeing any of the Marvel movies before.

Trey Goldsworthy

And the only adaptations that made it work was the 90s animated series and Wolverine & the X-men

Ghost

Guess who’s back, back again,

Trey Goldsworthy

I really hope youll get to watch the 90’s X-men animated series and Wolverine & the X-men.

Moviejunkie

I don’t think I like James McAvoy’s Professor X. At least with other versons of Xzavier he would do bad things and admit he was wrong but this guy had to be all high and mighty about it.

Magikltrevr

Y'all say 50 Shades of Grey would have been just Adora doing that voice with the hot dog line but I don't see the problem here.

daverboy

I actually never watched this movie until now. The Dark Phoenix Saga was the first real Marvel comics I read, after getting a trade paperback of the whole thing out from the library. Having both watched the 90's cartoon's decent adaptation of it, and read the original as my first 'real' comic book, it's an important arc to me, and after X3 botched it so hard, when this one didn't do great I just wrote it off. Having now seen it, I think it's an even less-faithful adaptation of that original plot than X3 was, but I think it was still a *better* story than X3, and does better service to the scope of her powers, having her transmute matter into other things instead of just disintegrating stuff.

Adam

Still better than FF 2015

Adam

There's a reason he actually finally had Cyclops and a lot of others turn on him a couple years ago in the comics.

Adam

They don't, but they should do it anyways. 90s X-Men is a great series, and 97 a great sequel series.

Jacob Funckes

25:03 I would argue that the infamous 'X-Women' line is not based, it's just incredibly cringy and out of place.

millecamps

uma musume is worth it, let her play

drake

So....they recently added the phoenix jean grey to marvel rivals.....WHY CANT I RIP APART THE MAP AND THROW IT AT PEOPLE

Jacob Funckes

In fact I would argue it had a detrimental effect, as it gave all the conservative and right wing people online such easily exploitable ammunition for their culture war nonsense.

PrivateXimmy

Good time to mention forge: a mutant who’s power is that he can build anything he can imagine. It’s . . . ridiculous, but also why the X-men are well above the tech of the era

Maximor

I'm happy to see Adora again. I like her commentary with Alicia.

mld-Drake

with how many comments i've seen on so many other videos and here as well asking when you are reacting to Logan, i've gotten tired of it. can't even imagine how tired Alicia is. at this point i hope she delays the reaction by 1 day for every single freaking comment. just enjoy what you like from her posts, ignore the rest and have patience.

mld-Drake

the movies really made him likeable. he is just a straight up asshole in the comics. the x-men were nothing but child soldiers or tools to be used by him

LordBeerusOL

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, ALICIAAAAAAAA, ADORAAAAAAAAAA, AAAAAAAAHHHH!! AAAAAAAAAAH!!!! I'm so happy I cry ;_;

Joi Rene

I need yall to watch amen 97. U can watch the first 5 seasons from the 90s if'n ya wanna. All imma say is...SCOTT

Maximor

Also it was cool seeing Dazzler.

LazyPanda101

Gotta be honest don't even remember anything about this movie

LessMiserable

“David this isn’t you” Ngl I wasn’t paying attention for a half second and I was like wha? Why is Alicia calling me out rn

mld-Drake

i feel like this movie showed it best why Scott is the leader of the team. Charles might have founded it, but he's a shit leader

DaringDestiny

For the way people talk about this movie I expected it to be way worse. It's definitely not the best but it's fine

ACVIFOR

Coming after Logan probably didn't help

MMDXXX

We have been patient, in fact we've been patiently waiting for over a month now. But yes I have been enjoying some of her other content in the meantime (especially Spongebob), though it's kinda hard to say the same for this particular movie, since Dark Phoenix is easily the worst film in the X-Men series, and it's so pointless that she could've skipped it entirely and it wouldn't have mattered or affected anything in the slightest. Not to mention it was supposed to come after Logan and Deadpool 2 technically... I'm sorry if us asking when she plans on watching Logan is annoying you, but considering that on June 28th Alicia posted an update with a list of movies/shows (including Logan) she planned on watching over the next 10 days (and it's definitely been longer than that, plus the vast majority of that list she has already finished at this point), I'd say our questions regarding that initial plan are valid enough. Though if Alicia later decided she wanted to wait until Adora came back from hiatus so they could watch Logan together, that's totally valid. NTM as annoying as it may be, perhaps there are good reasons why so many people have been eagerly waiting and asking when she plans on watching Logan, because it really is that damn good! If and when Alicia & Adora are ready to see it, they'll soon know exactly what all the hype was about, and it'll be well worth the wait. (Hopefully we won't have to wait through another 50 Shades of Gray movie before that. XD)

mld-Drake

honestly i remembered this movie being much worse than it actually was. It was actually enjoyable. also welcome back Adora

MMDXXX

I don't blame ya, it really is that forgettable.

Darchangel

The way I've always described this movie is "visceral," or gritty if you prefer. The action hits pretty well for me, too bad the overall movie is meh.

MMDXXX

It may not be the worst movie ever made, but I'd say it's still worse than X-Men Origins Wolverine, that I'm sure some of us can agree on.

MMDXXX

Well of course Alicia and Adora made the experience more enjoyable for the most part, I'll say that much.

Alexander deLongchamps

Well at least we're ending on Logan, cause this movie was not a good send-off for X-Men

Fei Ashtear

If reading comments gets you this stressed, maybe prioritize your mental health and stop reading them.

Fei Ashtear

The entire reason she started this marvel journey is because she had spent years listening to others and ignoring marvel. The fact that so many keep encouraging her to skip "bad" movies in the comments only reinforces how necessary it is for her to see them for herself. And guess what? Despite all the complaints by the commenters for months, she legitimately enjoyed this movie. I went in to this expecting worse than fant4stick, but it was actually a fun movie. Thank you for proving yet again that online opinions are less than worthless.

Fei Ashtear

I really hope that her and Adora will binge the og 90's X-men animated series together.

Adam

it's not, it's just not as good as the previous three movies. FF 2015 is straight dogshit. This one is just... underwhelming compared to the previous ones.

Adam

It isn't even as remotely as bad though. FF 2015 just sucked. DP at least has the issue it's the fourth movie in a series, so it's burnt out on Sequelitis

CosmicImp

It would show a MUCH better representation of the Phoenix Saga among all other things!

Spicy Noodles

i dont care if conservatives have a conniption over a line. it was a good line and made a lot of sense. if it bothers you perhaps look inward as to why rather than look out word and blame the movie. time and time again the women in each X-men movie have been the ones to either make the sacrifice play or conflict resolution primarily raven.

Spicy Noodles

storms abilities are not precision lasers, shes like a constant AOE her lightning attacks cant target a single person, shes not gonna risk using them when there are a bunch of civilians running around

Bix

Welcome back Adora! im so glad your back

mld-Drake

I'm good on that department, it's just annoying to see that same comment over and over and then realize I've only seen a fraction of them.

mld-Drake

Sure they made the experience more fun, but to me this isn't the worst x-men movie. Not even by a long shot. Coming after Logan sure didn't do it any good.

Baron Salt

The movies don't do these characters justice. The animated series have them much more fleshed out and gives them better storyline. Aside from the 90s xmen, the 2008 Xmen evolution is one of the better received animated series, though it does change the ages of some characters

Nick Lopez

That and the fact that metal conducts electricity so your not really doing anything to mag other than tickling him. I swear just because they are a superhero with powers people can't use they're brains with this stuff.

Nick Lopez

Storm vs mag is a useless fight. Metal conducts electricity, your not doing anything to mag other than tickling him. Why do you think the electric chair is made of metal? Also, imo Scott can suck a nut, I hate Cyclops, worst x men character by far at least his brother, havoc was cooler and his power was more sporadic and unique... Scott is one of superman's powers and that's it, he's got heat vision whoopity doo, how many other characters out there that have heat based powers that'd absolutely demolish him, not even in a fight but in a show of abilities is tremendously outmatched. Besides these two conflicting arguments, I agree with everything else... prof was the villian in this movie, but it also shows how a butterfly effect of things can just happen throughout life and how things can spiral if not controlled/managed properly. My only caviot when it comes to this film is that the whole premise of days of future past was that we wanted to avoid giving the government and subsequently trask, raven/Mystique's blood, that's how the Sentinel program to be... wouldn't ravens blood be on the fence, the ground and anywhere else during the crime scene or is this some sort of movie magic that they magically had some bleach and just removed the blood from that area? In the end whether it was the original timeline or the new one, Mystique had to die according to the films.

LegitPotatoes

Aren't they also doing Deadpool 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine?

Justin Scott

Fun fact, you call it a bit silly having the dark phoenix come from space but that's 100% comic book accurate, the phoenix is an extra-universal power that just s happened upon Jean on a mission to space, so as goofy as it is, that actually happened in canon. And you see why they kinda just didn't do that in the previous attempt at the storyline XD

Adam

His optic blasts are blasts of force, not heat. He also has an inherent knowledge of angles for ricochets.

Adam

Worth noting if you're saying that, New Mutants is also technically part of those.

ChefLaBoogie

If adora is addicted to the horse girl game watch the anime and movies with her for patreon

Keem

I second this

5Tom51

I honestly just commented for the meme. I'm just chilling with my eggnog ang Andor reactions dude

Giddo

Is this the Monsters VS Aliens movie?!? (You should watch that movies btw, it's suuuuuper fun)

Notto

Well it’s just a bit annoying when we get 50 shades of grey reactions instead of Logan when some of us are only here for the marvel reactions. So if the comments bother u that much just don’t read them

Notto

They don’t, I never watched the 90s show and was fine. They made the show so you don’t have to watch the previous one, you just get extra context

Notto

Bro I just have to see Azus list out of pure curiosity because the timeline is all over the place at this point he coulda just googled it 😂

Okarun

watch big stan

Arcane.Joe

Wait, did she do Deadpool 2 and I missed it or is she not doing Deadpool 2? I'm not complaining I'm just confused.

RedRam-Ipsen

Pretty sure she hasn't done it yet. And that she is gonna do at some point... 🤔 Not a 100% sure though. 😅

Slate

She hasn't done Deadpool 2 yet as it kinda spoils Logan, so I believe they are doing Logan next and then Deadpool 2 (unless they react to The New Mutants too, but I kind of doubt it)

MrDudePerson

Fun fact, the iconic X-Men plane is based on a real aircraft: the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. It could travel over mach 3 at 85,000 feet. It was so fast that if it detected an incoming missile, the pilot could just accelerate and outrun it. In 1974 it set a world record by flying from London to New York City in under 2 hours and to this day, no other aircraft has beaten it.

Tony Wirt

Gotta be “that guy”. Cyclops power isn’t heat vision. His eyes are portals to a dimension of pure concussive energy strong enough to level cities and has an energy output equal to a large nuclear reactor. The downside is that he can’t control the output when his eyes are open so he needs his glasses and visor. Also if you remember in DoFP, Trask himself said that blood wasn’t enough to get the Sentinels we were trying to avoid. He said he needed pretty much everything, bone marrow, brain tissue, etc.

Yahroh

best version of live action Scott summers. Cyclops was done dirty but sadly these movies werent as popular competing with MCU but i wouldnt mind them continuing this level of reespect for him

CriminalMatrix

Needed to pitch my voice for this. "Oh God Alecia and Adora, you got too busy talking you missed the half second thing at the end that hinted at the possible sequel! Any true X-men fan would have noticed BLAAAAH!" ouch, sorry that hurt my throat a bit. Anyway great react.

Crescent Method

It really sucks that it took them (Fox) this long to get us a good portrayal of cyclops. Hopefully they watch Xmen '97 and get some more good Cyclops action

MMDXXX

Um yeah no this is definitely the worst X-Men movie, it's at least on par with X-Men Origins: Wolverine in terms of raw awfulness (if not slightly worse), but even that movie was more memorable and entertaining than this boring pointless schlock-fest. It's very clear that X-Men lost its magic with this movie, as Dark Phoenix was obviously just a last ditch effort to squeeze out 1 last bit of X-Men movie money before the franchise rights expired and Fox got bought out by Disney and whatnot (from what I've come to understand at least)

Maximor

They need to do Logan first. Which they said they would.

Maximor

Did they ever solve the issue with humans mistrust and the internment camps, did I miss something or are we to assume that everything is just fine now?

Andrew birds

I actually really liked this movie, and loved your reactions. I was happy to see a cameo of Dazzler, the girl who was singing at the mutant party

LordVed

He could control it, until a traumatic brain injury rendered him unable to as a child.

Arcane.Joe

I actually forgot that Deadpool 2 has spoilers for Logan because it's been so long since I've seen it. So it makes perfect sense. Thanks.

Nate

But... the woman in x-men cause more problems than the men, mystique has been going rogue/"evil" for half the movies, jean grey loses her mind in several movies and attacks other xmen woman didnt have an amazing positive impact on the xmen to make a line like this not cringey and forced to make a plot of "woman power" in this movie. xmen are anti-discrimination, I doubt theres ever a line putting down men to bring up woman in any of their comics, or if there is it'd be recent

Nate

easier to lead the team when you can be on the front lines, charles is better at teaching and politics, which is why in every movie he's a teacher and not being a front line leader.

Nate

Idk what charles should have done with jean grey after her father gave her up. Do you tell an 8 year old that her father abandoned her because she killed her mother and nearly killed her father? A 8 year old that could go evil and pretty much end the world if she wanted too, I dont think its that easy to say charles was wrong...

Anna Kyruin

My favorite part is that realistically everyone transporting the X-Men are dead and all the aliens were burned to ash, so the government should have been full speed ahead on the concentration camps no? Like, nothing politically in this story makes sense. XD

Maximor

I know that, I just realized they did nothing with it and it is still bad.

MMDXXX

Well as far as I know, timeline wise Dark Phoenix takes place a while before the events of Logan, and I think we all know what happened to all the mutants by then.

Az256

The talk about renting is crazy 🤣 like bruh aint nobody gonna give you a home for free

Az256

Yall were too focus glazing jean thinking that fast completely ignoring her hand moving as fast so that in itself made no sense so she would have speed this whole time as a power

Trey Goldsworthy

Don’t forget the other X-men animated series too.

Trey Goldsworthy

But force and powerful forces still produce heat by how fast it travels, and the optic blasts still would produce heat even though the beams are not mainly heat.

Trey Goldsworthy

Don’t forget the other animated X-men series, all of them are great.

Joi Rene

Oh absolutely! But i think 97 might get them right in the feels

Trey Goldsworthy

Oh it will, but it will get them even more when they at least know about and see the 90’s animated series since 97 is a sequel/spiritual successor to that series.

Gildarts1#fan

This movie isn't as bad as people say, but it's not great either. It's a pretty mid movie, about a 5 maybe 5.5/10

Joi Rene

And i said they can watch the 90s show too! The 00s version...all the versions if'n they wanna.

Joi Rene

But there was also homework assignments released for the people that didn't watch or didn't wanna watch the originals to kinda keep them abreast of the situations from Beau Demayo as well. But knowing Alicia, she might go ahead and do the full 90s series first to fully understand. 97 just holds a special emotional place in my heart specifically.

mykanike

Did they skip Logan and Deadpool 2?

HKelnix

Welcome Back Adora we miss you so much ❤️💛 Also I didn’t know Alicia retired so long ago 😮

EnderSlayer366

i think they were waiting to do those until the last official xmen movie (this one), pretty sure logan is next

Sejju

One step closer to Logan.

Adam

Just like real life.

Adam

it WAS the SR-71 in First Class. The one in this movie was the Classic Blackbird from the comics, though.

MrDudePerson

100%! I meant the classic one was (although modified) originally *based* on the SR-71.

Adam

TBH, that's how it is in the comics. No matter how much good the Mutant community does, humanity in general always judges them by their worst examples. We're shallow like that.

Kaltrec

Not my favourite movie, but I liked it

DrA

I can see why this movie is disliked. Btw, explosions also don't happen without oxygen.

DrA

They also retired in 2019 lmao. As in professor x.

PokéBoyBB

You guys do realize that Storm couldn't do anything cause she was in the middle of New York, right? Like she can use her powers there's A BUNCH of civilian all around her! She doesn't want to kill anyone! When she's attacking the aliens there isn't any collateral to worry about, so she can actually do stuff. Like come, I feel like that's so obvious.

Baron Salt

One thing I really don't like is the physical depiction of Leach, the bald boy. In the comics, he is a physically deformed mutant with green skin and an oversized head. He and his group were mutants who were weak and physically unable to hide the fact that they're mutants. He was a sweet kid who was tragically murdered because he and his found family couldn't mask their mutants like the xmen. He shouldn't have been a regular kid and that still bothers me.

Shroomy

So important thing about Nightcrawler/Kurt that I love is that if he wanted to he could teleport body parts off of you, he doesn't have to take the whole person so he is crazy lethal. Also in lots of comics and media he uses swords with his tail and stuff. He's a nice passive guy. until he isn't.

Oatmeal

Oh yeah.....this one

Silver Blade

17:55 When we saw her forcefield in the car as a kid - I just assumed she can keep a forcefield around her at all times if she wanted to - and therefore effectively wear a "space suit"

Silver Blade

23:00 I disagree - you don't have a situation likea burning building with a gas tank that the firefighters know about. within minutes you know the gas tank will be engulfed in flames and probably explode - you don't send in firefighters even if you're 100% sure there's a person next to it .... MAYBE if you can calculate and have the information that it would take 70 seconds to get the person to safety and the tank would explode in 90 seconds - MAYBE then but what if you calculated something wrong?? and now the person and a firefighter died because of your decision... your firefighter friend died.... 100% disagree

Silver Blade

36:15 Yeah - I get that it's "fair" for landlords to exploit a fault in the system to gain money, aka capitalism. but having a roof over your head and a bed to sleep on is a necessity - kind of like water, kind of like electricity... for NECESSITIES we have government regulation and infrastructure but we don't for houses/homes... and I get that if it was subsidised people would get 30 square meter homes with a toilet and a bed and a common kitchen in the building... but maybe we should have enough of those so people don't go homeless.... and then the apartments, rowhouses and homes will actually go down in price because the demand doesn't come from literally everyone.....

Silver Blade

2:16:40 oh yeah... doing the math - Erik being about 9 years old in concentration camp, he must've been born in 1938 at least - which means in 1992 he's 54... kind of old man yaoi then

Karatsuki

Ok so the first "bullet" they fired on the aliens was a mutant suppression device, the same thing they used on hank and storm NOT a taser. It's only single use is to suppress mutants, hence not working on the aliens as they are not mutants. The bullets from the helicopter are just straight up metal so they work just fine though. This movie is chock full of stupid mistakes but don't just hate on it for things that actual make sense if you take the time to understand.

Khalil

Storm is also able to create atmospheres. She created one around the ship, allowing her to manipulate the air. She sealed the ship and gave Jean an atmosphere to breathe in without a helmet.
