The Bye Bye Bye intro is a reference to Logan's annoyance when the song comes on the car radio in X2. Deadpool is destined to piss him off

I saw Deadpool and Wolverine back in July and that shit still has me fucked up. Effectively dragged me back into my X-Men hyper-fixation.

(Also ALL HAIL QUEEN TOMMY)

Propaganda under the cut

X2:

Great performances of the cast

A movie about the effects and consequences of hate and bigotry

Every Wolverine and Stryker scene

Deadpool 2:

Great mix of heartache and humor

Many fun cameos

Cable ❤️

The way everyone would be SO dead if Charles was a cruel person and lacked the empathy all his closest friends condemn him for.

Ever since we saw Deadpool & Wolverine, my parents and I have been sitting down to rewatch all X-Men/mutant related films.

Rewatched X2, it took every bit of strength I had not to turn and watch their reaction to Bobby explaining his mutation to his family.

Didn't, but wanted to say out loud: "Wow, it's almost like they're portraying the classic coming out story. Looks familiar."

I still can't fathom why they don't understand me when they're the ones who introduced these movies to me (and Marvel in general). Like, they plopped me down in front of the X-Men films, and I would rewatch them religiously (ESPECIALLY X2).

They introduced me to films that are all about not including a subgroup of humans because they're different from all the rest, and yet they still don't see it?

A resentful part of me compares my mom to Bobby's. My mom's "it's just a phase you're going through" clashing with a fictional character's "have you tried... not being a mutant?"

Yeah, sure, Mom. I'll stop being bi when Bobby learns how to stop being a mutant.

Logan Studies ~

I rewatched origins recently and i had to think about what if in the scene after the Adamantium procedure, Logan had agreed to become Strykers weapon to avoid getting his memories erased under the condition that Victor would be left alone and no innocents were killed?

So i wrote several scenes of how Logan agrees to obey Stryker willingly and Stryker dehumanizes him further by calling him Weapon X instead of his name. And instead of having a bedroom he sleeps in like some sort of metal pod and denied actual food and instead his being fed artificial liquid food through a tube in his throat every night that gives his body all the needed nutrition. Also Stryker does cruel experiments with him like forcing him to swim and dive in icy water despite the adamantium skeleton weighing him down and almost drowning him. Stuff like being locked in a test room and the temperature being made so hot it burns his skin and after he has healed they drop the temperature until he gets frost bites all over. And Stryker has him kill innocent mutant children on one of his missions who were rebelling against the government and Logan breaks down crying and Stryker forces the helmet on him that he wearing Apocalypse to suppress his emotions and personality. Logan is having his blood and sperm taken to create clones of him, that are being born by volunteering women getting paid a fortune for it. Stryker allows him to see one of the clones whose aging has been accelerated so he's already a teenager, but he's completely feral due to the genetic enhancements and can't talk to Logan and Stryker taunts him saying he did that on purpose so Logan wouldn't get the idea of breaking out and taking the children with him. Oh and he gets a visit by Victor, who of course is still working with Stryker and loves the idea of Logan having feral offspring to create an army. He tells Logan he has been meeting women in bars and back alleys, getting them pregnant on purpose to spread the Howlett genes and it utterly disgusts Logan, how his brother wants to be an animal.

Yeah. Just some dark disturbing stuff that's in my neurodivergent brain. Let me know if i should post these!

Storm & Kurt Wagner

I loved this beautiful video of X-Men 2: United of Kuroro's ship of the characters of Kurt Wagner and Ororo Munroe together and above all, because I really would have liked us to have seen them together for much longer in the X-Men 2: United movie... And especially because I am so happy with both this and with Kurt and Ororo's ship together, but above all because I really would have loved to see that we could have seen them together again in the X-Men: The Last Stand movie and that we could have seen them become a beautiful and really very but truly VERY romantic canonical couple... sincerely

One of my favourite strike backs at nitpicking is the creator commentary during X-Men 2, when Storm asks if Mystique can shut down the copy of Cerebro from the control room and Mystique simply, bluntly, tiredly says "No." The creators confirmed that they specifically put that moment in to quell any viewers moaning about why the characters don't simply shut down the machine; by stating quite clearly, in-universe, that they can't turn it off. I love it.

Also, just look at Mystique's face:

She is so done, friends. So done.

Honestly a hc i have into connecting the 2010 xmen to the 2000 xmen is thinking that something happened post DP like fighting Amahl Farouk (bc id kill for a storyline that involved Charles and Storm fighting him and maybe being captured by him) and somehow Jean comes back and in the aftermath, Amahl is defeated we see Jeans powers stronger than before that she completely rewrites almost everyone's minds and the thing is she's unaware it's her bc it's secretly the Phoenix that doesn't get reawakened until x3

Which makes it extra funny that she brought Erik with Charles. She said let them be happy before Phoenix took over and she killed her dad.

I love that since Piotr is clearly a young adult, the students follow him during the attacks on the school because he can protect them, and that's not including that he's bulletproof in his metal form
