In the next section of the same scene, after his act of heroism, he decides to use the weapon of mass destruction. It doesn't undo his heroism. Two things can be true at the same time - the nature of the anti-villain. Tue, 22 Sep 2026 02:53:36 +0000 2026-09-22T02:53:36Z Mystique is capable of doing so many things that require a certain level of expertise. AI says... it's here adaptibility, intelligence couple with her long life. She's had lots of time to learn things.

I wonder if they make the most interesting characters. Magneto was heroic in this film while still remaining an anti-villain. Tue, 22 Sep 2026 02:35:14 +0000 2026-09-22T02:35:14Z Cerebro. If a piece of tech can be turned into a weapon of mass destruction, it certainly will be. True in fiction, consistently true in real life. Tue, 22 Sep 2026 02:31:48 +0000 2026-09-22T02:31:48Z That scene: Yuri vs Wolverine. Sad. She was being controlled the entire film. Tue, 22 Sep 2026 02:25:02 +0000 2026-09-22T02:25:02Z Mystique walking into the heart of the beast. Defeats a small army. Seconds to gain access of the main control room. Wolverine impressed. Boss! Tue, 22 Sep 2026 02:01:54 +0000 2026-09-22T02:01:54Z Magneto recruiting Pyro... the facial expressions, the nuances. Perfect! Tue, 22 Sep 2026 01:54:16 +0000 2026-09-22T01:54:16Z That rescue Nightcrawler made of a falling Rogue - after she was ejected from the plane... teleportation is one of my top 5 favorite powers! Tue, 22 Sep 2026 01:43:42 +0000 2026-09-22T01:43:42Z That Magneto escape... riding a flat metal surface, arms crossed, two spheres circling him. At this point everyone is rooting for him and he delivers. Tue, 22 Sep 2026 01:27:46 +0000 2026-09-22T01:27:46Z Colossus emerges... Logan makes cinematic superhero movie history. No cartoon-like scenes, no 1960s batman-like parody. The genre is being taken seriously. It doesn't get any more real (until the Avengers came along and softened things up for the faint of heart). Tue, 22 Sep 2026 01:04:54 +0000 2026-09-22T01:04:54Z Stryker's team invades the school. The girl phasing out of danger, the other girl with the sonic scream warning everyone. hahaha! 🍿 Things just got real! Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:56:35 +0000 2026-09-22T00:56:35Z According to AI: Odo (Deep Space Nine) is better overall at morphing. Can become any object, animal, person, liquid, or shape, and can alter his body into tools or weapons. Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:38:59 +0000 2026-09-22T00:38:59Z I can't get over Mystique's abilities. It's pixel-perfect morphing- from a politician to Yuriko Oyama. Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:34:52 +0000 2026-09-22T00:34:52Z Xavier to Logan: 'you'll spend the rest of your days under the belief that you're a six year-old girl'. That's a level of power Xavier could apply to virtually anyone - at any power level. Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:23:03 +0000 2026-09-22T00:23:03Z Until I saw Xavier 'freeze' everyone in place, I had no idea he was capable of this. I remember being so impressed when I first saw this power highlighted. Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:05:53 +0000 2026-09-22T00:05:53Z Watching X-Men's 'X2' (2003). That initial Nightcrawler fight scene was pure superhero movie-making magic. 23 years later, one of the best ever. Mon, 21 Sep 2026 23:55:50 +0000 2026-09-21T23:55:50Z Sabertooth was impaled multiple times by Wolverine and he shrugged it off. I had never really reacted to his tier-1 healing powers before. Mon, 21 Sep 2026 05:47:00 +0000 2026-09-21T05:47:00Z Thinking that X-Men (2000) - as good as it was - might've been better if Magneto succeeded. I wonder what movies might've been more interesting if the bad guys succeeded. Mon, 21 Sep 2026 05:30:28 +0000 2026-09-21T05:30:28Z According to AI, ~75-100 mph winds are enough to lift a person into the air (re: Storm). Mon, 21 Sep 2026 05:21:51 +0000 2026-09-21T05:21:51Z
