- The Fox X-Men movies have one of the most convoluted timelines, and this is most evident in the many appearances of William Stryker. #marvel #wolverine #xmen

Another thing you should've mentioned
Josh and Huston are both 6'2
While Brian Cox is 5'9
I think it's a symptom of Fox treating Xmen like it's just a series about Wolverine so they feel the need to tease his movie origin at every opportunity
Side Effects of 20th Century Fox's Wolverine May include:
Excessive height, frequent visits from William Stryker, lack of costume,
Underdeveloped irritability or mood swings towards cyclops, and in some older versions of the character adamantium poisoning
By the time they realised they could use characters like Apocalypse, Sinister, X-23 and Cable it was too late.
@@handlebarsmustacheeven then they had Sinister be all buildup and no payoff
@@mrcritical6751 because the Gambit movie was sent to the void
@@slimer44producciones3 not entirely, they apparently filmed some scenes with Mr Sinister for New Mutants but those got cut too, there he was apparently played by Antonio Banderas
“Whenever William Stryker is not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, ‘where's William Stryker and his son Jason?’”
Did he fought in vietnam too???
@@adrianveidt8056Yes. In dofp
And did he put adamantium into Wolverine?
His son with hetrochromia?
Ah yes, the Groppler Zorn effect. Though I'm not sure striker is quite as important.
Calling the Fox X-Men timeline 'confusing' is an understatement.
Calling it a ""timeline" is an overstatement
There are a lot of plot holes, but once you get to learn them, everything is really simple to understand. The Terminator timeline is the real puzzle. I never managed to understand it.
It’s actually extremely straightforward if you ignore Origins Wolverine.
Though Deadpool and Wolverine has basically fucked it up beyond repair lmfao
@@Jellybob69how so?
Thanks to Deadpool and Wolverine we know that these were just different time lines of Wolverine
@@notBrockerWell, we know that the X-Men of the new timeline and Deadpool are in the same universe but the problem is that the events of Logan happen not so long ago in the same universe of Deadpool
Stryker should’ve been the anchor being lol
This is so freaking random that its become hilarious to me 😂
Still Deadpool and Wolverine Smoke him out . and They will bring Logan Roy to Replace Him but a An Agreement to Keep Weapon X Lay-Low or Else Wolverine Would Lay Him low at "5-feet" .
Him or magneto
Staaahp 🤣🤣
@@OhNoBohNo Stryker Multidimensional Wolverine hater. lol
Watching the x-men movies in chronological order of William Stryker's life sounds low-key interesting, funny and confusing at the same time
Chronoligal
Chronological 👍🏽
@@SyphiListthanks👍
Yes
Stryker order: first class, dofp, origins, x2
I'm glad he shows up in Deadpool & Wolverine with his iconic catchphrase "I put metal in Wolverine"
😂😂😂
And that he had a son named Jason
Wait is he really in it ? I forgot lol
@@bunnyphoenix2992I think he was joking cuz I honestly have no memory either
@@mohammedahmed4586 yeah he’s kidding
Bro aged from 27 to 45 in like 2 months
And then took like 30 years to go from 45 to 50
Meanwhile charles and magneto didnt age from 1963 to the late 90's in dark phoenix then suddenly becoming old in the 2000's or the time xmen 1 happened
@@lonzoformvp5078 well to be fair and the revised timeline nobody aged at all, but in the original original timeline after Trask was assassinated everybody aged horribly within a short amount of time
Spend half of his military budget to smoke 500 cigarettes every day
@@lonzoformvp5078lmao I didn’t even think about that. To be fair the original X-Men trilogy probably isn’t canon to the First Class-Dark Phoenix timeline, but it still doesn’t make sense how they just don’t age in 30+ years lol.
Literally the one thing they could do to make this weirder is to have the timeline changed where Stryker becomes a fundamentalist pastor like in the comics
genuinely such a good idea for a villain
He was a much more rounded character in the comics, ironically.
@@LoreweavverIronically? Most comics are better written than their adaptations.
@@megaultradamn ironically because traditionally the fundamentalist pastor is a one dimensional character with no depth and is a strawman.
In this case the fundamentalist pastor version has more depth than the man who served in Vietnam and has a son named Jason version, as per the video.
I agreed with your point though. The comics are generally better.
@@Loreweavverhow exactly was he more well rounded in the comics? Genuinely asking cause my only knowledge of comic Stryker is seeing him point at poor Kurt saying “you dare call that thing human?!”
I'm surprised that he has one of the most consistent timeliness out of all of the Fox X-Men movies.
Only if you ignore Origins (Which you should)
I disagree, it's impossible for First Class and Days of Future Past to be on the same timeline as the first three xmen movies. They should be on different parallel timelines, where you assume the stuff in the original trilogy happened similarly between fc and dofp.
@@racool911 How is it impossible? What is that logic? There's nothing stopping them from coexisting.
@@radoslavl921 because x men origins and apocalypse are in the 90's and there's substantial differences between the 2
@@radoslavl921also in the space of like ten years Xavier and Eric go from looking like McAvoy and Fassbinder to Stewart and McKellen. Yeah people age but that's insane.
Stryker is a recurring reminder of the threat that humans pose to mutants. For all of Charles' optimism and hope, men like Stryker are an example that Magneto's militant stance is not completely unwarranted. It's also because the movies seemed to either revolve around or revisit Wolverine's character and his origins, and Stryker is directly responsible for the most traumatic moments of Logan's life. So it's not much wonder why he keeps turning up like a bad penny.
Don't make excuses that don't make sense for bad things that don't make sense.
@@Terrible0x0Trivium The reasoning makes sense to me and allows for the films to be further connected, especially considering how Wolverine is the most important character in the franchise.
@@walkmonkey7 I'm just joking man I don't care enough either way I liked most of the X-Men films on their own, never really considered continuity when enjoying them. No one cared about that stuff until the MCU. DOFP reset and changed all the timelines anyway, but I don't think any of the creatives were really thinking about any of it.
@@Norcat10 I can see that logic for the comics, but Cyclops never got a solo movie while Wolverine got 3 and was in almost every Xmen movie.
"hes gonna be brian cox" almost sounds scary
because he’s related to wolverine and until apocalypse the x-men movies were just “the seven wolverine movies where other x-men also show up occasionally”
Except for First Class
Btw, another son of Stryker shows up in Logan, played by Richard Grant.
"-You know my father"
"-Yeah he is the asshole who put metal in me"
@@shawerful5209 wolverine never met jason
X-men movies are like the James Bond movies, but Wolverine is the only one who never gets a new actor.
So Wolverine is like q from James Bond🤔
Thanks Amazing Spider-Man's stunt double
Stunt double? Bro he's the Peter Parker from the Amazing Spider-Man 2 game.
one thing i'm confused about - did william stryker put metal in anyone?
Yes, and he also has a son
His son fought in Vietnam I think
He puts metal on Magneto in Aushwitz
@@varunramakrishnan7676 But does he have a son? What's his name?
I think he put metal in his son, jason. I think I can't remember
William Stryker has a son named James, fought in World War 2 and put the metal in Magneto. Ah okay got it.

Striker's job description: putting metal in wolverine
I like to think they kept putting Stryker in the films just to confuse people. Great video!

Oh neat. It's the Darth Jar Jar denier.
The real question is how did Bolivar trask go from being a white man with dwarfism who made the sentinels and was killed by Mystique in 1973, to being a bald, average height Black man who is clearly alive and well and head of homeland security in 2006 😂😂
The answer is simple you see, stryker put metal in him
That guy is never called Bolivar Trask, just Secretary Trask, so could be a different person who shares the same last name.
@@CryosisOfficial Bolivar Trask had a son named Jason, who was also black.
What a haircut can do for you man
@@limonadiautomaattimekaanikko Bolivar Trask has a distant relative Secretary Trask
I wish Deadpool 3 had Logan shouting Stryker.
I think i had a aneurysm trying to comprehend what this guy was saying half the time
I like how in Apocalypse it's the 80s, which is around the time Danny Huston William Stryker put metal in Wolverine in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but Josh Helman William Stryker has not aged up to look like Danny Huston William Stryker. I can only be left to assume the timeline changes Wolverine made in X-Men: Days of Future Past had some sort of butterfly effect where Josh Helman William Stryker paid more attention to taking care of his health and looks more youthful in the 80s, but this presumably doesn't stop him from looking like Brian Cox William Stryker in 200X.
The fact that jason was actively involved in 1 movie and died and they referenced him like 15 times is goofy as hell
Yet we don’t even get an appearance from Mr. Sinister.
Dude regenerates so much you'd swear he was a Time Lord or something...
"The Twin Towers are still there"
Well you're not wrong but I doubt Fox knew the towers were gonna get destroyed 😂
get out!!!!
The thing about Striker isn't just about his relationship with Wolverine, it's more about what he represents, that is the anti-mutant feeling, what he does is in line with what military did/does in general
Yeah sure it kind of works but racism isn't all from one guy and his family. It's a societal issue embedded in the culture and having different human antagonists would reflect that more. Using Stryker works as shorthand but wasn't the only avenue they needed to take.
@@spensirmclife6549He wasn’t the only one though. The senator in the first movie literally wanted to create an agency to force mutants to identify themselves and submit to government tracking. Trask too was performing sick experiments and created the robots that are responsible for exterminating mutants in 90% of all future timelines. In X-3 Warren’s dad invents the cure for mutants, which isn’t an outright attack but it is one manifestation of the fear and insecurity humans experience because of the existence of mutants. Otherwise, there’s a lot of scenes where average people witness mutants in public and they are either shocked and appalled or even angry. Like the guy that tried intimidating Wolverine at the bar in the first movie because he thought Wolverine used his mutant powers to cheat him in a cage fight.
They just like the way hugh jackman screams the name Stryker when he’s mad
To be fair it’s a good name to yell when mad
Are we sure he's not the Anchor Being?
Soooooo this William Stryker guy fought in Vietnam and has a son called Jason? Sorry it just felt so vague i needed clarification
Now you’re getting it!
Hey, hey. He also put metal in Wolverine. Get it straight.
yeah, and Jason has heterochromia.
@@shrillethyeah and I wasn’t sure was he meant to be Mastermind(Jason Wyngrade)
"Jason"
Every X-men movie needs: magneto getting his helmet back, some form of stryker, and Logan getting flashbacks
Here’s the one that I don’t get. X-Men Origins tells us Wolverine left Stryker’s team in 1973, then 6 years later he got his adamantium skeleton and lost his memory in 1979. Days of Future Past has him traveling back in time to 1973, working as a bodyguard in I think New York. So you think this might be sometime after he left Stryker’s team, but when he goes to Paris and sees him, Stryker reacts like he’s never seen him before, but was fascinated with his bone claws. And it can’t really be before he supposedly met Stryker because it’s the end of the Vietnam War, so either Logan was going to get drafted to a war that was already over after this, or Stryker doesn’t recognize someone he personally recruited and worked on a team with.
This is the dumb stuff that keeps me up at night
@@danielduff it does, lol, I know its just a film series RIDDLED with continuity errors, but thats kind of why I love it, its a puzzle thatll never fit properly, but its fun to think of theories that help make sense of it.
Just say it's a variant. X-Men Origins Wolverine is a separate universe/timeline than the Days of Future Past one. It's a different actor for Stryker, different actor for Emma, Cyclops and Sabertooth. What is Wade Wilson doing with their special ops team in the 70s?
@@johnb2422 I would’ve said that too, but when Wolverine gets Weapon X PTSD in Days of Future Past, they use clips from both X2 AND X-Men Origins. And when young Charles looks through his mind later in the movie, we see clips from all the movies Wolverine had starred in so far, including a clip of Victor stomping off his bone claws from their first fight in Origins.
Also, Wade wouldn’t be the only one being the wrong age in different decades. Look at characters like Angel, Jubilee, Emma Frost, and especially Jean being like 10 in 1975 AND in 1986. It’s just something you kinda deal with.
@@johnb2422 I can’t lie though, removing it from the official timeline would make it a lot cleaner. Logan and Victor are now not brothers so need to explain why Victor doesn’t outwardly recognize him by X1, Logan fought in Japan during WW2 instead of also being in D-Day a year earlier, Logan is now a body guard in the early 70s instead of being in Vietnam to meet Stryker, and his memory loss can be moved back to 15 years before the first X-Men movie like it was stated instead of 21.
Wolverine was always my favorite marvel character back when the original cartoon was on in the 90s
X-Men Apocalypse forgetting that it was Mystique disguised as Stryker at the end of DoFP is one of the funniest things about these films to me.
The very funniest is X-Men Origins revealing that the writers think "wolverines" is, like, the full name for "wolves." It's even better that the folk tale about a wolverine running around howling at the moon serves as the emotional core of the story.
Apparently Hugh Jackman was also unaware that a wolverine was a different animal than a wolf. Common misconception I suppose.
The funny thing is that in the comics, he's a mutant hating priest. Movie William is actually just Professor Thorton with William's name
when the whiteboard came out I knew I was in the right place
The guy only had one appearance in the comic books and was left alone for decades. They only started having him reappear as a main antagonist just to tie into the movies which became obsessed with him. All because of his connection to Wolverine which wasn't even his thing in the comics.
Who tortured Logan in comics?
@@JamesHowlett-qy3yq A guy called Doctor Thornton, the video shows a picture of him at the end.
I love that he’s a completely different character than he is in the comics
I just binge all of the X-Men movies for Deadpool & Wolverine. Me and my also noticed how often William Stryker was mentioned in almost every movie.
Mans living rent free in the Fox writers heads
All these Stryker cameos experiment on mutants and not one Mister Sinister appearance. Not even a reference.
They did reference him in New Mutants and Deadpool 2
Also in apocalypse
@@spensirmclife6549I think during early development of Logan in the concept, he was originally the main villain
His part totally held Apocalypse back. Sure it was nice to see Hugh back for a bit as a feral Weapon X but that entire Alkali segment did not add much to the story
Yeah because this why I don’t like the First Class era as everything is completely nonsensical even Deadpool pointed that out in the first movie
The whole every film is set 10 years apart in separate decades was so dumb. They just did it so they can feature music from each era. But it completely killed the timeline. Ironically multiple confusing timelines is as X-Men as it gets @@srstriker6420
Eh apocalypse wasn't really that good even if you got rid of the whole Logan cameo segment. I forgot what apocalypse's whole deal was anyway while I remember almost all of first class' Magneto and Xavier dynamics down to their split. Apocalyse could've been a lot better but its one of the few xmen movies I don't feel like rewatching even if I enjoy some of the "bad" xmen movies.
I laugh every time as Hugh Jackman scampers out the door like a scared rabbit into a winter set that's too small to run headlong through, so he has to take small steps, slow down and then take a hard left to avoid slamming headfirst into the back wall.
thanks for finally mentioning this. he was such an obscure character in the comics, and the whole religious zealot aspects are wayyy different from the movies.
i hope the mcu adapts him to be more like the comics
@@BeansKneezI doubt the movies will make a pastor the villain unless it's an R Rated movie targeting a less mainstream audience. Gotta bank on the masses and not offend them.
@@spensirmclife6549A lot of mainstream movies have had zealot antagonists. Chrollo from hunchback as an example. As long as itd not too disrespectful to the beliefs in themselves, nobody would care.
@@jackooooooooo But he wasn't a Priest like the original, he was made a Judge like how Stryker was made a Army guy
@@spensirmclife6549 Yeah but he was heavily religious. Its pretty common for villains to be religious.
watching you get increasingly more frustrated was so funny
Fox timelines are laughably frustrating
“Stryker? Stryker? Stryker? Stryker? STRYKER! Stryker.” - Lloyd Bridges
Guys,hear me out,and I think it's a long shot but I have a theory the guy who put metal in wolverine mightve been that military general we kept seeing. Uhhh William Stryker or something? He had a son I think...
Dude,THANK YOU!!! I mean...he was only ever featured in God Loves,Man Kills prior to these films giving everyone the impression that he must be a somewhat prominent character in the comics. The X-Men have the third greatest rogue's gallery in all of comics,and they kept coming back this one-off character. Why not Cameron Hodge!? Or like Valerie Cooper or Graydon Creed? Or even Stephen Lang.
Graydon Creed would have made sense since when these movies weren't obsessed with Wolverine they were obsessed with Mystique, especially in the new gen movies.
@@shrilleth that obsession with Mystique is pretty damn annoying too,since they kind of just made her Magneto's subordinate and concubine. And so now that's the general idea people have of her. She was never an associate of Magneto's in the comics. I really do try not to be such an irredeemable comic lore purest,but it's more difficult with X-Men than it is for other comics. And she DEFINITELY was never a good guy. Not even when she was with X-Factor. But we all know that the later films only did THAT because Jennifer Lawrence became like A-List famous while they still had her under contract for multiple films.
And as for Sabretooth...people constantly talk about how terrible X-Men Origins: Wolverine is...and they aren't wrong,cuz it certainly wasn't a GOOD film...but at least they made a genuine effort to portray Sabretooth more like he is in the comics.
I apologize for the length of this reply. I could go on and on for days about the frustratingly stupid things in these films.
Really weird they didn't use Henry Gyrich much. Apparently Mystique impersonated him in the first X-Men but he was the face of Mutant Racism in the cartoon which shaped the public perception of the X-Men before the movie came out so they could have definitely used him in any of the prequel movies.
he put metal in wolverine
When I was a kid I tought William Stryker was the best X-men movie villain Lol
Well he was a very big threat towards the mutants.
I just love when a villain motivation is just hate.
Like you said at the end of the video, the overfixation on Stryker is really bizarre considering that he's never been involved with Wolverine's origin and Weapon X in the comics. It was a fun change for X-Men 2 but after that it just felt overinsistent and none of the subsequent actors that played Stryker were nearly as memorable as Brian Cox.
Danny Huston did a decent job ngl but yeah. Brian Cox is just on a whole another level.
Its funny seeing them sharing a scene together a number of times in Succession and another actor in Succession play Paradox in Deadpool and Wolverine movie.
I guess Succession casts has beef with Wolverine somehow
Its kinda funny how they chose stryker to became the secondary villain of the movie franchise instead of apocalypse, mr sinister etc
Fun fact: William Stryker has a son named Jason
No way I thought it was bill
Did he put metal in wolverine too?
Who else thought the guy playing Stryker in days of future past was Stifler from American Pie
Trust me. The Fox X-Men timeline. Was all f**ked up. Probably why all 20th Century Fox was pruned by the TVA and sent to the void in Deadpool and Wolverine.😆
take a shot every time he says "put metal in wolverine"
fox and bryan singer: mr sinister? arcade? krakoa? hell nah throw some william stryker at them
I have never seen you before (this video just showed up in my recommended) but can I say you knocked it out of the park with this video. It didn’t miss anything and it was FUNNY! Love your work!
this is cracking me up more than anything ive seen in a long time man keep doing what you do
William Stryker has only been in 4 movies. If any villain has been in every movie, its Magneto and Mystique.
It seemed like dr rice was possessed by strikers ghost😅
Oh, were the X-men movies meant to be linear? I just thought they were telling independent stories and each movie after X3 was like, meant to be a reboot each time lol. I had no idea these movies were supposed to be connected.
The fact that they hired a guy who looks 30 years younger to play the same guy at the exact same age is hilarious
Well I feel like at that point they were REALLY trying to sweep Origins Wolverine under the rug
I think when he say "I just gave you claw", it's not in a literal sense. It's mean that "I made you stronger", by giving you adamantium, he wasn't able to beat Victor Creed with bone claw, but he did with adamantium claw.
2:41 it is a difference of 18 years between origins and x2, I believe, because on x1, Xavier tells Logan that he's been wandering with no memory for 15 years, + 3 years gap between x1 and x2
Cuz the first x men movie released in 2000 so it makes sense that x2 had a 3 year age gap cuz x2 released on 2003
Conclusion: Mystique will become Brian Cox 😂
Stryker’s line abt giving Wolverine claws was from a dropped plan that Wolverine’s claws were added in the weapon x procedure. You can see screws on wolverine’s claws in the first movie
There is so much Vietnam in these movies I’m starting to think it’s the main theme
This video is only slightly less unhinged than the Fox X-Men timeline, but ten times more hilarious. I love this video so much
1:39 The claws bit was a little pedantic, i think its obvious what they meant by that.
I was confused too when they said it in the movie.
I watched all the X-men movies several times. I learned a lot about william stryker today. Namely that he fought in Vietnam, he has a son named Jason and he put Adamantium in Wolverine. Who would have thought?😂
Want to see me put metal into Wolverine?
Want to see me do it again?
Want to see me do it AGAIN
This is one of the most effortlessly funny video and comment section I’ve ever experience
You forgot in the movie LOGAN The Scientist that creates X-24 I think his mame was Zander or something mentioned that his father is Stryker for some reason idk really
Wow, the one they did show his son he wasn't called Jason? Amazing.
thank you Seth Rogen
Dude was fried watching X-men and started thinking about Stryker too much. Made this video for himself 😂
The twin towers arent canonical so we cant base the timeline on them
I actually thought that the "Agent Smith" type guy that recruits Deadpool in the first movie was William Stryker. I was confused as why you didn't mention him, but I just found out he isn't Stryker.
I always assumed that he was Stryker because who else in the X-Men universe would recruit people and turn them into mutants? Maybe he was supposed to be Stryker, but others at Fox refused so they just kept the character with a blank name.
young seth rogan
The LACK of Seth Rogan comments is infuriating
it's truly incredible just how little character development exists for one of the most featured characters in this franchise
I’m gonna be real disappointed if Jason doesn’t end up becoming the Thanos of the X-Men universe
Mastermind (Jason's comic counterpart) is usually a bozo, but there were a few moments in early Claremont run where he was THE MENACE. The man was cucking Cyclops, breaking up Wolverine's weabbo wedding, awaking evil space birds for a posh bdsm club. The man was thriving in the 80's.
He sort of was in X2. Like Thanos he was involved in attempting genocide
I just rewatch all of the fox X-Men films and just realize how often they’re used Stryker and how they each contradict each other.
The Stryker in “Days of Future Past” looks dead-ass like Stifler from “American Pie.”
Tbats the same actor i guess
William Stryker was a pretty obscure character in the X-Men comics but then Brian Cox’s portrayal in X2 made such a big impression that subsequent films decided he should be a mainstay. Ironic considering Cox only ever played him in one film, but I think it’s a real testament to the guy as an actor.
How is this guy not just Alexander Knox from Batman 89
It's even funnier when you consider the same actor played the bad guy, in two different comic book universes.
this indeed was the William Stryker(and his son) Cinematic Universe
I Jus want a Variant of Stryker that's jus a Really Chill Dude.
Or Jus More Trask cause I Grew up on the Ultimate Marvel Comics and He's also a Good Piece of Timeline Glue between Marvels Main Roster & The X-Men
I hope that if he does appear in the UCM, they make him a reverend and not a general
I could be wrong, but since this franchise took ques from the animated show they wanted a Gyrich type or some government face to show humans as the villians and someone wss a big fan of him in the books which at that time was just his debut as an veteran scientist turned televangelist with a genocide plan for the X-Men. No mention of Weapon X till later on with Deathstrike in X-Treme X-Men
Thanks to the films, this pushed Stryker into being one of the team's most infamous foes
Brian cox performance is so underrated
Underrated as Hannibal Lecter too
Fun fact: the guy that plays him in DoFP and Apocalypse was originally cast as a younger Juggernaut for the pentagon breakout scene but when Fox got wind that the MCU were gonna put Quicksilver in one of their next movies, they re did the script and put quicksilver in for the breakout scene and put the actor who was playing Juggernaut as Styker instead.
For those of you who are confused by the timeline, let me give you the basic jest of it.
First, there's First Class in 1962 and X-Men Origins Wolverine, which takes place in the early 70s and 1979. Then, jump to the 2000s, and the events of the original X-Men trilogy take place. 2013 is The Wolverine, and in the end, the credits scene it shows him joining Xavier and Magneto to ask him for help regarding the rise of the sentinels. The beginning of Days of Future Past takes place in 2023, where the world is basically in ruins and sentinals run society and hunt mutants. Wolverine is sent back to 1973 by Kitty Pryde to stop the sentinels from ever taking over by stopping Mystique and then the events of Apocalypse in the 1983 and Dark Pheonix in 1992 take place in this new timeline. Hence, why Mystique is shown in the original trilogy but dies in Dark Phoenix. Anyways, in this same timeline, we jump to 2015 or 2016, where the events of Deadpool take place. Now, it's not actually confirmed whether the Deadpool films are in the same continuity, but this is where they would go if they were. Fast forward to 2026, where the events of New Mutants takes place, and there is not much to say about that, obviously, but it all ends in 2029 with the events of Logan. I believe 2027 or 2028 is the year where the X-Mansion is destroyed and many of the mutants are killed. As for Deadpool and Wolverine, that is probably a whole other ball game, and I haven't even seen the movie yet. I know it's super confusing, but I hope that clears it up.
thank you for including that strange mystique reveal at the end of dofp. never knew what that was about
"Vietnam happens" is such an american thing to say
I think he was a figure used randomly by Brian Singer as the source of all the wolverine's problems. Afterwars, fox producers used him because they thought he was essential to Xmen mythos, while Brian Singer used him because he did X-2 and he was inclined to turn the First Class timeline into the Singer Timeline. The result?? Lots of Striker.
God i love this. I mean it is just perfect like i don't know if it is intentional that this has a bit school presentation vibes with the sometimes repeat and the drawbacks aswell as the reading from something (if not i couldn't do it better so this isn't critizism) it feels just perfect with the wacky presentation of stryker in all the movies aswell as his everchanging look. Love the Video man :D
I can fix one plot hole here at least. The Wolverine who travels back in time in Days of Future Past, is from the future, where he most likely had access to either files about Stryker or just googled his most hated person and saw perhaps a vietnam era photo of the man. It's not too crazy to assume that in order to remember his entire history, he had done some research about the one man who did most damage to him. So when he sees young Stryker on the ground, he recognizes him instantly.
As for the rest of these, well X men plays really fast and loose with continuity, to the point that in a post Deadpool and Wolverine era, we can just chalk it up to these being different timelines for Logan. Otherwise, we can just say that neither the Origins movie, nor the prequel timeline, really cared about establishing an iron tight continuity.
Into the Strykerverse, where William Stryker fought in Vietnam, has a son named Jason, and puts metal into Wolverine.
He's a universal constant. In every movie there is a different Stryker and I hope the MCU continues this trend.
"My son Danny Duff? Oh, he's almost ten. He loves making timelines on his drawing pad, i sure hope he doesn't grow up to realize William Stryker is Brian Cox and has a Son named Jason and also fought in vietnam and put metal into Wolverine."
I like Stifler Stryker in days of future past 🤣
Aha are you fucking kidding me, I never ever noticed this. Ok so you gotta do a marathon based on Stryker becoming the main villain.
First Class > Days of Future Past > Apocalypse/Origins > X2
I'm pretty sure there's a throwaway line in X-Men Apocalypse where Stryker is like "I remember the blue one, she impersonated me for *months*" which just ads further questions of where was he in that time, but ok.
It was the 80’s man, he got really into the arcade scene for a bit, y’know
