2020's The New Mutants is the final Fox X-Men movie that ends the franchise in a pretty low note. The most interesting thing about this movie is the high number of times it was delayed during the last few years, almost as if Fox didn't want anyone to see it. There were talk of New Mutants reshoots that never ultimately ended up happening, but for some reason Disney that they didn't even put it on Disney plus. In today's Anatomy of a Failure, let's see how reshoots and reworkings in the pre-production stage ensured that this movie never worked so we'll know what to watch out for in the future. Then all that's left to do is see what Marvel and Kevin Feige do with the X-men and the Fantastic Four in the MCU.

Sorry for not uploading last week-- I was getting blocked/demonetized by a movie studio that no longer even exists. I'll upload that missed video on Christmas.
Big thank you to all my patrons who justify me spending time on making internet content despite all these BS hurdles. If you wanna support the channel and reach the milestone of me making a video on one of my personal worst movies ever made, check the patreon out: patreon.com/filmento
@Ewan Callister yep, it wasn´t good, but it wasn´t that bad either
Huh I wonder what that studio is
OUCH. Glad you're back, Filmento. Some people make dirt out of everyone out of pure jealousy. Big Sad.
2:22 Did they literally make a bunch of Slender Mans
I kinda made a similar mistake with my first book The Children Must Feed. I tried to do to many different things, the story is basically just a horror movie in book format. But halfway through the book I added 4 more characters and another sub-plot. I eventually went back and edited the book getting rid of things I felt were not need and making it more coherent. It's still a little rough around the edges but my 3 books after that I made sure to stay focused on the main story and not worry about adding extra things just for shock value.
Rented it two days ago, fell asleep in 20 minutes, the next night I tried again, started it at the 20 minute mark, fell asleep in 12 minutes. Best movie I ever rented, as I suffer from insomnia
🤣

A literal cure for insomnia
I'm going to download this movie for those nights where I have to work in the morning but can't get to sleep.
Then you dont have insomnia
Let’s just say the X-men franchise died when Logan died.
Well it had a pretty good run. Many good movies with a few great ones, many bad and some so bad they’re almost good. Still, pretty good overall.
Pretty much. The final nail in the coffin was Sansa Stark as Jean Grey. Then a movie solely about her... Even though you know... They already did that and it was a crock of shit. X3.
@@porrasm
Best: Days of Future Past, First Class, X2 United.
Great: X-Men, The Wolverine, X-Men: Apocalypse, Logan (This would be in the best section, though the reason it's in great is mainly because I found it too depressing which took a bit of enjoyment away from it, but it was still very good)
Okay: The New Mutants (I actually found it fun, just looking for a fun time) Deadpool and Deadpool 2 (They were okay)
Bad: X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Only truly good scene was the entire introduction)
@diggy dub Why on Earth would you watch all of them if you knew they'd be trash?
@diggy dub There's a difference between taking the series seriously and having fun with it.
People take Superhero movies stupidly seriously I don't take any of these films series apart from X-MEN, X2: UNITED, THE WOLVERINE, X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST.
Sorry if my opinion doesn't appease your view points, I'm sorry if your so called: "perfect opinion" has been offended by someone else's opinion.
It really says a lot when you can stack the cast with the best young talents of the generation and then totally waste it with crappy accents and one dimensional characters...

But no Tennant and/or Capaldi, so no one cares. (/s)
Everytime he says "Teenage Mutants", my brain fills in "Ninja Turtles"
Now that would have made it a much better movie.
I'd take another TMNT movie. Atleast it never tries to be more than it is.
*TURTLE POWER!*
@Ivan Cerecer that true.
That's the whole point of TMNT; they were literally a spoof of the New Mutants and Daredevil's ninjas. (The Hand from Daredevil & The Foot Clan from TMNT)
The scariest thing in this movie was the forced drama and accents
Right? It's as if all the teenage drama they know is stupid teenage drama mot even develop interesting drama noooooo generic drama.
No the scariest thing was the Stranger Things kid's awful southern accent
@@MrSwampApe At least it was better than the Russian girl’s accent
that's was added thanks to the studio, what i heard this movie was going to be horror which would of worked
@@eyesack2007 don't know who thought making Illyana such a cunt was a good thing, like piss off Magik is amazing character this movie totally made her shit, plus she was in Limbo at this time wtf is this shit, she was like 17-18 when she came back from limbo after learning magic then she joined the new mutants
Wow. The amount of bad accents they were able to cram into one movie is actually impressive
I feel like you can say that about most of Claremont's work, oddly enough
@12:41 I could not stop laughing omgg😭
When Anya goes “lions and tigers and bears, oh my. right, Lockheed?” is utterly cringy to me.
Bro I thought it was only me lmao
That "southern" accent gave me whiplash, I didn't see it coming and it was... jarring
Think this movie could have benefited if it was marketed as a teen horror movie and not revealed to be X-men related till you saw it (kind of like Split/in breakable).
I find it funny u bring split bc Anna Taylor Joy (the Russian girl) is also in this movie. But yeah I do think this movie could’ve benefited from that sort of premise
It was marketed as a teen horror movie
Actually the complete breakaway from the original content should have made it it's own thing instead of piggybacking onto a good franchise. The "Russian Girl" literally got kidnapped by the ruler of Limbo and taught how to use black magic and she eventually defeated him and became the reluctant ruler of that relm.
Split could bank on M. Night Shyamalan's name for marketing. I think if The New Mutants tried that it would have quickly been forgotten. The biggest gimmick of the film was that this was the first Marvel horror film. Take that away and you don't have much left, just another cheap jumpscare horror film.
@@redrocket8062 The thing is that still sounds like an X-Men plot.
Also... X-Men is considered a good movie franchise? I say it's an ok franchise.
Almost done filming. Just need to add Jackman, Fassbender and McAvoy cameos and that’s a wrap. They cost how much?! Shut it down. We’re done..... I said we’re done!
That actually got me laughing

Shut it down now!!!!!!

🤣 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Interestingly, this was originally going to be send in the 80s with McAvoy reprising his role but the new studio head at Fox thought Apocalypse killed interest in the prequels.
New Mutants gets a solid A in concept but a solid D in execution.
Well, at least it’s a D, not an F.
A rock solid D
Like brightburn
I'm laughing after reading this comment for a completely different reason.

It annoys me why this facility has ONE doctor to control them all.
Yeah I noticed that as well. Aside from the main characters and the doctor, there's not a lot of people in the hospital.
Yeah how does the force field stay up when she's asleep? Does she not get tired from using her powers?
I noticed that almost immediately. Please tell me someone acknowledged that in the movie
I agree. She's all alone in a facility with 5 really powerful mutants who can easily kill her. There should have been some mutant orderlies to help her keep them in line.
One doctor to rule them all, and in the suckness, bind them.

I knew from the moment that the dad said, "We have to run as fast as we can," that this was going to be a so-bad-it's-good movie.
Right!?! It delivered in such a weird way
He meant he needed to run as fast as he could away from this contract, he was desperate to leave the production, and so they used that line in the movie.
I think the movie is just bad.
Its a guilty pleasure movie the Russian girl ( magik) anya Taylor joy is the funniest & best part ofbthe movie
@@blackkcinamacritic she's a baddie
X-men has a lot of potencial for body horror. Like, imagine a character with similar powers to Logan stuck on an endless cycle of being mutilated, regenerate, then mutilated again, Prometheus style. Not to mention all the mutants that look like freaks.
To every angel there's a guy who looks like a plucked chicken
A xmen horror movie would rule
Like that Marrow girl who had pointy bone protrusions constantly grow out of her skin she could snap off for weapons.
The scene you depicted is somewhat close to a Deadpool comic scene - "Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe"
Well there was one graphic novel where everything that could go to shit in Marvel universe pretty much went to shit, such as Bruce Banner being mutated into tumor-filled body monstrosity instead of The Hulk, Fantastic Four members being turned inside-out from solar radiation, Punisher being gunned down by criminals on street right away, Magneto is insane and kept in special prison because he is unable to control his powers, one of the X-man (I think Jean) is herione addict-prostitute. It was pretty grim and dark.
Also, Immortal Hulk was pretty much body horror and quite good, and then like 20 issues later, they started inserting some political nonsense such as Hulk leading the BLM protest and being on global warming protests, etc. It became a huge mess so I just gave up. First 20 or so issue were really good, unique spin on Hulk. It was basically horror comic but then as usual, Marvel decided they don't want sales so they "fix it".
Even in the og X-men film by mr p3do atleast you had that scene where senator kelly bloated up like a dead body and disintegrated. I was haunted by it, even though some elements are slightly boring.
Alternate name for The New Mutants-
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Humans"

Maybe she's not as familiar with American culture as she thinks she is....
Ngl, I actually wanted to watch it the first time it was going to release. With all the push back of release I lost interest and didn't even realize it came out.
The worst part about this is ths studio wont rightfully see their mistakes and learn from them, but rather blame the movie's failure on the marketing or on the writers that they sabotaged amd continue repeating their mistakes.
I mean the studio failed and was sold off to Disney; once the sale is complete most of the executives are probably going to be fired
Studio executives are *never* wrong, its always the writers, or the director, or the marketing dept, or the publicity campaign, or the....
They must be correct, or they wouldn't be executives.
I agree in part, but one difficult thing about blaming reshoots is that it assumes that a first iteration was actually good. We can say "Wow this film obviously suffered from the issues associated with rewrites," but we *can't* say "this film is worse than what it would have been without those rewrites." Sure, rewrites/shoots introduce new problems, but that doesn't mean those problems are greater than those of the original film (despite what Josh Trank might insist).
I'm not saying the final product was definitively better than whatever the film was before reshoots -only that we have no idea. So, perhaps it was the writers! Perhaps the first draft was just a mess, and the studio decided stepping in was worth the downside. Perhaps stepping in was worth it! Perhaps it wasn't. We just don't know.
@@DanielFolsom You have a good point, and I'd like to further that one by saying that the director Josh Boone, also didn't like how the movie was turning out by 2018 and had his own rewrite as well as a set of reshoots planned. That director is relatively new, but he did direct The Fault in Our Stars, which was fairly good movie, so I trust that he could see this film not being up to par at that time.
Reports suggested that there were problems deciding on how to handle the reshoots for over a year--some blame was put on Boone there, but some other blame was put on the "creative team", which is what @Filmento had been talking about throughout this video. Since the reshoots seemed to have never happened, it looks like the movie we got was based mostly on footage from that earlier draft.
@@MrHantz101 As they say, to accept blame is maturity, but to blame someone else shows management potential. Executives follow the later strategy.
'Where is my family? Are they safe? Are they all right?'
'It appears, in your teenage angst, you... killed them.'
'Oh. Ok. YAAAAAAAAAWWWWWN!!!'
I had such high hopes for this movie, and I was so disappointed when I finally saw it. It had such potential and it was a wasted opportunity to tell another side of the mutant struggle other than Xavier’s optimistic view, what a shame.
Honestly yes the X-men have always lacked in the people/organizations between the 3 extremes of Magneto's Mutant Supremists, Xaiver's largely pacifist turn the other cheek when you don't have to be heroes, and Weapon X mutants must be controlled or purged.
I feel like so much of this movie could have been saved if the doctor (or group of doctors) were a more antagonistic force. If it had felt like these children had no control over their greater course, these small acts of rebellion and impulse would be easily characterized as grasping for autonomy. It feels like some scenes had this in mind, like when Illyana gets herself in trouble and seems happy to be put in solitary, because it's a choice she made, but even that then clashed with the amount of actual autonomy these kids had.
spoilers. i like how in the end dani is fine with the fact that she's the one that killed her whole village and her family.
Don't worry. You can't spoil something that nobody cares to see
It’s the twist that everybody saw coming
@@fortunatecookie This is the first review I've ever seen about this movie that I completely forgot was being made, and even then I guessed the destruction of her village was the result of her powers activating.
The doctor provided no proof of her claim.
@@fortunatecookie I was actually expecting another twist where the village was destroyed by the other kids (Growling sound would be from Arya Stark and fire from that fire kid)
I feel like that New Mutants should've been a mini-series instead. They could've been Marvel/Disney/Fox's equivalent to Doom Patrol.
Yea I was like where are the other episodes
Thats a fantastic idea
Misfits already exists
There's already Legion which is a weird series.

I hope Illyana will appear in MCU Anya Taylor Joy is so good here, honestly it was her and Masie who carried this movie.

@@pereiraplaza222 remember new mutants was filmed 3 years ago so Anya has probably got better at the accent
Seriously, accent aside, the Magik scenes were the best part of the film. No one else really uses their powers much
...nahhh
In the past, people came to be writers after having lived in the world and developed experience and insight that they had to express. These days, people who become screenwriters have grown up watching movies, immersed in movie reality and with almost no idea how real stories or people work, or how they talk, act, think or react.
underrated comment nocap
You think people like Tarantino and Kubrick didn’t grow up obsessed with movies? They were just as deep in movie reality as we are today, just with very different, older movies. You’re basically just assuming that the accessibility of today’s technology means nobody has a life anymore, which is obviously not true. It might be true for you, but we are not all the same.
lol go watch a random unknown movie from before the 1960s and tell me that you genuinely think people talk like that. You see that’s the problem with people like you, you compare the best examples of past art to the worst examples of contemporary art and then claim that past art was better. How about you compare things that are comparable, instead of trying to compare citizen kane to the new mutants.

Not mad at the side boob but the whole thing was... lackluster to say the least. The super well known “two wolves” saying changed to two bears was super cringy, especially since she apparently murdered all of her people (including the one who said that) oops
So many of these youth killed their parents that at this point It losses all impact and is the same as saying “I breathe oxygen.”
Its normal to kill your parents in order to be heroes apparently
Kinda makes you understand why mutants terrify everyone…
It's fascinating to me that they were working on this at almost the same time as Legion. Here they have a film trying to present a somewhat-surreal film about the process of coming to terms with the line between mutancy and mental illness, and whether ignorance or knowledge of your powers are more dangerous, and just completely screwing it up. The maddening mishmash of narratives at the heart of this film is particularly frustrating given Legion's main strength is that it manages to keep the audience involved through a more chaotic and far more prolonged story through careful use of thematic and character consistency. If you want to have a complex and changing story, you need to ensure the audience always has some touchstones so they have something to hold onto when the story gets weird and confronting.
Legion was so good. But then it had Noah Hawley, a single creator and strong writer, putting his vision on screen.
Throughout the entire movie I thought Dr Reyes was the same doctor from Logan who told Logan to look after the girl. Then bam she got mauled worst than Leo.

Imagine being the “genius” that put this film in theaters, despite the pandemic. Makes me realize that even if I’m a complete failure, there will always be people that are dumber than I am.
Or, they did it to minimize the amount of people watching this mess, and they can write it off as a loss for tax purposes.
Putting it into theaters during the pandemic has not really anything to do with being dumb. They simply didnt care for this movie that was collecting dust sitting on the shelf. They just shat it out to theaters to be finally done with it. They simply didnt care. It would've been a flop with or without the pandemic. On top of that, it was the last X-Men Fox movie which ultimately doesnt matter anyway since they are going to reboot the entire thing in the MCU now anyway.
I would imagine they did that on purpose. They can then blame the financial failure on the pandemic instead the weak product they out.

Yes! It's like it never really picked up. When I realised that this was what the whole movie would be, I was so disappointed.
It's such a waste. The original New Mutant's comic ended and led to the first issue of X Force. Fox had the formula to print money.
Yeah they had Deadpool for years and they did nothing with it, like idiots
To be fair, Fox had a lot of things that they could have done with the X-Men that would have been a huge success, but they didn't take advantage of it, and Marvel Studios ended up doing it first.

I swear by adding your funny sound editing this movie would be watchable like an absurdist comedy... that "blinking/no idea what the hell is going on" sound was genius!! there are a lot other edits like that here, great stuff
I almost couldn’t bring myself to finishing your video. Man you’re a champ for sitting through that whole “movie”
The movie looked so good in the first trailer, such a shame movie executives are never even remotely aware of what their audiences want and they butchered the movie before our eyes for years, before releasing this. They should release the original cut...
There was no original cut. The execs were involved at the writing stage so there is no different footage to make a new cut and there were no reshoots.
No, it didn't look good at all; I knew it was going to be a shit movie. Also, there is no original cut; there's no way they completed filming before bringing in new people, and this movie is definitely not worth giving any more thought.
Well, for me it look awful since the first trailer, specially with that pink floyd song that didn’t fit at all
I didn't even know that this movie got released.
It was never look good to begin with. When the first teaser/trailer came out, it was nothing more than a cashgrab that trying to capitalized the success of Stranger Things at the time.
It was so exciting to finally see live action versions of comic book favourites like cannonball, psylock, wolfsbane... sit around doing nothing
Same! I always liked Wolfsbane, Moonstar, ect. ever since I watched „X Men Evolution“ as a kid. But this was disappointing.
Psylocke is not in this movie. She was in X-men Apocalypse.
Her name's Magik, moron.....
DEADSCHOOLED Hey, go easy on him. At a glance, they have the same power
I dont know any of these characters im guessing beyond 90s X-men......
The soon to be released Chaos Walking sounds just like this. They filmed it in 2017 and it's being released in 2021. It has had 8 writers in total working on the script and 2 different directors!
The child *oof* sound clip gets me laughing everytime time man!
*Watching the New Mutants*
"I expected nothing and I'm still let down"
If a character has trauma related to a church, why would they ever go near a church after that? Also that brand looks more like magic marker
exactly plus why is Magik in this movie? didn't she go to limbo to learn magic and she knew she was a mutant already, plus Illyana was pretty nice person, not a cunt like this movie made her out to be, she's Colossus sister after all
@@kyotheman69 putting magik in this was a big fucking mistake...her back story of little happy girl living in the Soviet Union who fall into hell didn't make sense after the end of Soviet Union so they just turn her into an really awkward victim of sex exploration/traffic because of? The survivor of sex traffic was Karma backstory not Iliana but I think they couldn't whitewash three characters in the same movie
They did hire a brazilian Guy to play the Brazilian character. They testes a bunch of Brazilian actors for that, ignoring their skin color, and he was the one they chose for whatever reason.
@@jackspan4926 they choose an white actor because the director thinks it doesn't make sense to have an black guy be rich and spoiled...Even if saying that minorities aren't safe even if they "win the game" is the entire point of the character
So doctor can put invisible shield around entire facility but not yourself?
Well, Dr. Reyes didn't come across as overly bright to me...
Can you imagine an Xmen based horror movie?
It wouldve been so good since it can do anything, the body horror capability would’ve been amazing
Can't wait for the Pitch Meeting for this movie. It's gonna be TIGHT.
Exec: "How will we make an effective horror movie with superheroes and no R rating?"
Writer: "I don't know!"
Exec: "Fair enough!"
I feel like the "getting better" scenes didn't go anywhere because in reality, "getting better" wasn't the doctor's goal. It was making better killers for the Essex corp. Of course, that still doesn't make it interesting.
i agrée !!
well, getting better is necessary to killing better
Problem is that we also don't see that happening either.
when the kids drugged the doctor and didn't begin experimenting, I lost any belief in movie.
Usually when you make a movie there's a vision board, with all ideas connecting to the central plot, I'm guessing there wasn't one for this film
Jamaicans have a saying " too much rats never dig a good hole" basically sums up the movie
When will Hollywood learn that having more than one writter just makes things far more complicated and risky investment-wise?
they never will even smaller things like rooster teeth didnt season 1 of genlock went way over budget and made it so they had to lay off like 13% of their employees and their solution is the new season has a full on writers room set up
Wpuldnt be surprised if the original writers give up at that point.
I've never seen a reviewed film that's so bad even just a little bit of it being showcased for explanation bores me. Your critique is spot on, this thing is just so, so putrid that I can't sit through anymore of it. I can't believe someone got paid to make this garbage.
LOL Danny character running is all I needed to see.
So her dad died and everybody else, and she didn't want to see any proof (or hold a funeral or something like that) just party with the "gang"?! Very realistic character, very easy to get behind her.
To be fair when my mom passed when I was 14, I was so upset and didn't know how to express feelings. I ended up going to party after party, stayed sober for the funeral and at the reception I started up again. Granted I didn't see that with her, besides the suicide attempt, but that was too easily talked down. I thought this was a good movie, definitely not the best movie ever but I have seen way worse.
@@jamessberna1330 you weren't essentially kidnapped after seeing your father die, without actually knowing what happened to your past everything
That might change your reaction
@@notmocka exactly. I think I would freak out more. I did get uprooted and move far away to live with my dad I just met so similar i guess. Still I felt she was just cold and didn't really let reality kick in. Could be a reaction, but then she fell in love. It would have been one thing if she fell in lust with whoever, but it seemed more than that (and I'm pretty sure the two are a thing in the comics I haven't kept up with them like I should). I did enjoy the movie and would like a sequel (maybe mix it with the Deadpool universe). I'm just not sure the acting was 100% but it was pulled 7 or so ways and you can't blame the cast for that.
I watched this off 2 tabs and thoroughly enjoyed it.
If you sit in your house & watch movies on acid, you're doing it wrong 👍
as a fan of the comics and someone who was looking forward to this movie it left me massively disappointed.
If you want a good version of this film, just watch Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
JAJAJAJAJAJAJA LMFAO
LMAO, YEP!
Hell yeah! Good insight, dude.
Write that down write that down!!!
They should've make this movie about a girl breaking out of 'prison'
pretty sure that's already been done
@@thecoasterflood Just about everything's been done in some form, but if they did it in a fun and new/different way it could be quite good.
Or make it after Logan...a new X-Men type team called The New Mutants with X 23.
@@thecoasterflood but not an X-Prison
So suckerpunch?
Dude you nailed this one SO HARD! Love your breakdowns and dissections.
sad to see this movie being so broken, it's a shame... I loved the concept of this movie, a xman movie that's about facing childhood trauma in the form of physical monsters and therapy is fascinating
The movie reads like a bad fanfiction. It takes the liberty of assuming you already have an overview of the x-men universe, without really putting in the time or effort into introducing you to the world organically. The plot is semi incoherent and things happen because reasons^tm. those reasons being the need to push the movie forward so it can finally end.
what happens when studio gets involved and try to "fix things" i heard original concept was it was going to be horror, would of worked nicely but because of the changes it comes off not to be scary but stupid, plus they pushing it be more a "teen" movie which stamp of death
This was exactly how I felt about that terrible Fantastic 4 reboot they tried to pull a while back as well. Bad fanfiction with a healthy helping of needless angst.
I could say the same thing about any MCU movie... they take the liberty of assuming you have an overview of the wider Marvel Universe. You don't go into Endgame without knowing about the rest of the MCU, and you don't go into New Mutants without knowing about the X-men universe.
@@SA80TAGE @Samur/Aye You don't have to know all Iron Man previous movie to appreciate his sacrifice, since in the beginning of Endgame he already been established as losing something.
1. tony rescued from outer space
2. giving up
3. accepting reality half of the population get snapped
4. his peaceful retirement, scenes with his daughter
5. joining the rest because there is a sliver of hope to change the world, even though his quite happy the world now as it is, knowing it might be dangerous to his already perfect retirement
6. final battle - losing three two one battle
7. characters popping up when the enemy has the upper hand as back up (don't have to know who they are, it already epic as it is)
8. Finally sacrificing himself since knowing... even with all of that heroes popping up they still losing the battle.. - snap the enemy away sacrificing his perfect life with his family.
9.getting back at thanos saying i am inevitable with his own line I am Iron man (don't have to know the first movie, it is a good dialogue on its own)....
Without all that, his death and sacrifice probably won't have the same impact.
@@savintcrew76 why do you just focus on Iron Man? Probably because you know that in order to even know who the majority of characters are and their motivations, you HAVE to have seen most of the other movies. But that would mean admitting that I have a valid point, which is something most people on the internet aren't adult enough to do.
If you hadn't watched previous movies, and you go into even Infinity War blind to the rest of the MCU, you'd be left confused, who is Thor and Loki, what is the significance of their relationship, why are they in space, why is the Hulk with them, who is the guy with the metal arm living peacefully in Wakanda? and on and on and on.
It's a weak criticism to throw at New Mutants when you wilfully ignore it in any other franchise.
Oh and make no mistake, I LOVE the MCU, but I'm not shallow enough to ignore it's flaws.
Sucks they had to ruin yet another great xmen movie concept. Hopefully we just get a straight up reboot
Yeah, hope the mcu handles the x men better now that they own them.
@@highfatherizaya7059 im not even a massive marvel fan, but you can't deny how impressive it is that they tied together 25 different narratives into one cohesive story. Baffling to me how fox can't even get more than 1 story thread together before falling apart
@@vinnyvanhoe5614 yeah thats what I'm saying marvel will likely handle the x men far better than fox did because how well they handled the rest of the mcu.
@@vinnyvanhoe5614 Marvel hires writers that *want* to make the movie, that love the characters, and (it looks like since they lost Edgar Wright on Ant-Man) they've been giving directors pretty free rein to do what they want.
Taika said they told him "Do whatever you want we can fix it in the next movie" when he was asking about what the limits were on Ragnarok
@@highfatherizaya7059 You talk about pre-disney marvel. After Disney, everything can burn.. even before that we saw some examples like Captain Marvel.. so that 25 movie could be the only example in the human history.
12:30 I think that’s what (one of the) writers wanted. Problem is, the characters don’t really ever question if they are “getting better” and don’t ever try to find out why. They are just passive characters pushed forward by a nonexistent plot, because one person wanted them to actively look for and find the hidden evil, and one person wanted a sit-com.
all im saying is these versions of magik and cannonball are spot on and need to be in the MCU
How about just following the comic books?
Gee, what an idea.
Lol but they could have done the movies only once then

I felt like Anya Taylor-Joy was perfectly cast as Magik yet the movie failed to deliver us Magik...so... I'm confused with that one. That should've worked... She looked spot on, she's a good actress...what happened!? Also the Sunspot guy... when watching the trailer didn't know which mutants are in it and when I saw him, boom, instanty knew thats Sunspot. So I guess...the movie actually had a good casting here and there. Shame it panned out the way it did. Hey, I think it's watchable.... you just need to pass some will checks and not to fail some sleep rolls... Shame...
DnD fan eh?
The casting was simply superb, first time I saw the trailer, I knew who everyone was and they felt RIGHT. Problem is that New Mutants has messy backstories galore, so trying to "clean them up", was probably step one down cliche lane. It also gets some of the characters just wrong. Rahne works pretty well, Illyanna/Magik is just off. She's that one kid who is afraid of nothing cause she's been through (and in the comic, took over) hell, literally. Sam is a bit too awkward, he's supposed to be the big brother/first sergeant of the group, simple straightforward and more than a little awkward (with Roberto providing the smooth, and the immaturity). Dani is supposed to be the tough one the leader, of course the whole thing is that the bear is her creation, and this story originally kicked off when she turned to face it.
also Sunspot is one of my favs and they just...
Seriously? Sunspot is biracial and from Brazil.
@@DreamingDarlin What's that got to do with anythingwe're discussing here? FYI the actor playing him in The New Mutants is brazillian. Also most of the comic book incarnations of Sunspot have him with a pretty light skintone. So... if you're implying the ridiculous whitewash internet shitshow some people atempted to throw about the actor that played him being whitwashing a character, was warranted...you need to take a fucking walk.
Wow, its not like they had source material to work with, like years of comic books.
As a saving grace if only one of these characters can be shown in the MCU, then it should be Magik. She has plenty of comic back history to not be wasted and also appeared with Doctor Strange, so there is always that angle as an option.
The way you use scenes from the movie to go along with what you're saying is so smooth.
So wait... you're telling me that Illiana, The Queen of Limbo, and Colossus little sister by the way, was abused by some strangers and now is "angry at the world"?... Dude... anyone who dared touching her when young would have his arms ripped out by her big brother... and whoever she was still mad at after becoming a big girl would be spending eternity in a very unconfortable place...
I mean, her original backstory was her getting kidnapped by bad guys, and then later being stolen and abused by Belasco and S'ym.
Just watched this over the weekend. This video is spot on, the first hour of the movie feels like you could swap the order of the majority of the scenes and no one would notice. Another huge HUGE pacing misstep is if you have ANY idea who the character of Moonstar (the main character of the movie) is, the entire main mystery plot is ruined from the very beginning.
When your movie is based on a property that's been around for nearly 4 decades, maybe don't make the central plot around a characters super power as if people have no idea who the character is.
The Mission accomplished at 11:24 made me laugh out loud
good work xd

Such a shame that the long-running X-Men Fox Series has to end on such a low note, but I'm sure Disney will eventually reboot the X-Men into the MCU and... well I can't say anything about the quality of future movies but I'm sure this movie along with all the other ones are going to get buried
I want to think Disney will do a better job, but wouldn't know if they had bought it earlier if movies like like Deadpool and Logan would exist.
@@vrika4280 dont give fox credit for deadpool or logan. In pretty sure they fought to make deadpool family friendly.
@@victorortero8743 I'm not giving them credit, just mentioned I don't know if Disney would've let those type of movies be done, and at least we have them in case they go all family friendly.
X MEN SHOULD HAVE ENDED WITH LOGAN. It was the greatest ending to a franchise.
@@victorortero8743 Fox did not want to make either of those movies, so no, they don't deserve credit for those films. I think Days of Future Past would have been a good ending for both the original and prequel cast. End on a hopeful note.
Those bad guy duplicating monsters look a bit like the monsters from that one episode of Buffy. You know the one where they steal everybody's voice and they just kind of hover towards you.
The Gentlemen.
@@DJSockmonkeyMusic That's the name! Golly that was good. Back as a teenager watching that was like crack. Sarah Michelle Gellar sadly got super thin but in the first couple of seasons she had a bit of weight on her and it gave her very attractive curves.
They made a "x-men" version of "Quija".
The New Mutation is scarier than Quija, so Horrible, it's Horribly Scary that it exist.
