"Except now, Wolverine gets everything that he always wanted. He gets to be with Jean." Made me laugh so hard. Like, I was expecting a list but nope. That's it, that's the entire list.
What a simple man
Also Rogue as his daughter.
Wolverine ain’t much, all he wants is to live in the moment
Lol. Me too.
HAHAHAHA I DIED WITH THIS COMMENT
Great, now I want to watch a movie that will never exist. Especially the Magneto Wins Timeline. XD
Me too
The only downside to watching Nando videos lol
Read the Age of Apocalypse. Its close. Very close.
The main characters gone bad timeline reminds me exactly of the Injustice video games which is essentially DC heroes gone bad. If you've never played the game, you should, and if you have no intention of playing it then you should at least watch a YT video of the entire story mode campaign. It's like a 2-3 hour cinematic movie and there are 2 games of it. SUPER interesting. By far better than any actual DC movie ever made.
Don't fret, were almost to the era of Media Made To Order. AI generated images, speech, and video are rapidly advancing. We will be able to watch any story with any actors in whatever style we choose.
Hopefully there will be time to enjoy those advances... before they take over. 🙄
I'm usually not a fan of these "let's rewrite this movie/show" videos, but this actually sounds pretty dope. Nice work👍🏾
Bro Nando's videos are awesome. He does a lot of "one small change" videos where he makes a small change that completely improves the movie without making it a brand new movie, and then he also does flat out rewrites where he starts from scratch. I really like his 4-part Justice League rewrite
This is the Amazing grace. John 3:16 "For God loved the world that he sent his only begotten son so that's whosoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life" . For God didn't send his son to condemn the world but through him they might be saved... God loves you 💕so much that he suffered, died and rose from the dead to pay the punishment of your sins. All you gotta do is ask for forgiveness 🙏 (read the 10 commandments)and trust/believe in the finished work of The lord Jesus Christ on the cross. You will be saved from the eternal damnation of Hell and be granted eternal life in Heaven... The end is Nigh🔥. Jesus is coming soooon. Jesus is lord🤴🏽

The Magneto Wins timeline is also a great way to adapt House of M, at least it touches many similar topics.
Well.... in House of M there's no human concentration camps and it's almost implied that Magneto is kind of a competent ruler. Humans are trated like a minority and not in the best possible way, but they seem to be treated better than how mutants are treated in the 616.
@@TheMrartistman Yeah, that's why I don't really dig this re-write. I don't see Magneto making a future that's as bad or worse as Sentinel-holocaust world. Maybe he's usurped control of the US (or the Western hemisphere or something) and the rest of the world is preparing a nuclear strike or something (the escalation of First Class) to get rid of him. But about the last person that would make a concentration camp would be Magneto.
@@davidjay7116 Wasn't it in the first X-Men movie that Magneto refers to mutants as "homo superior"? And his whole plan with that device was to turn more humans into mutants. Remember that Magneto is an extremist himself, however well-intentioned or morally justified (for what he has suffered as both a Jew and as a mutant). He's a mutant supremacist, full stop.
In the Magneto Wins timeline, it is both feasible and likely that he succeeded at artificially 'evolving' more mutants. There may even be a caste system with natural-born mutants at the top, created mutants as second-class citizens, then homo sapiens at the bottom. A resistance could form of non-mutants plus mutant allies whom resist this literal eugenics campaign.
Magneto is, if nothing else, definitely a "you're either with me or against me" kind of guy. If modern times have shown us anything, it's that anybody whom resists the status quo will be villified. How many Americans would say they'd never support the use of concentration camps here at home, conveniently ignoring both the history of that very thing happening to the Japanse during WW2, as well as the migrant internment camps and forced sterilizations taking place on the Southwest border?
@@davidjay7116 i feel like depending on the writer, Magneto's characterization fluctuates in pretty important ways centered around this exact point. Some writers, similar to what you did, make the case that as someone who suffered such persecution, Magneto would not inflict the same extreme version of oppression and genocide on humans despite his superiority complex. Other writers suggest that it is precisely because of the trauma he experienced that he seeks a world free of persecution from humanity full-stop, in a classic "the oppressed becomes the oppressor"/"cycle of trauma" story line. Both are interesting and worth exploring, but in defense of Just Write and this re-write, the films and cartoons tend to follow the latter characterization more than the former.
@@davidjay7116 That stood out to me too as Magneto has always been this grey villain, doing morally questionable stuff for something you can empathize with. I kind of like the idea that they call back to his mutant changing device thingy from the first movie and have him succeed in doing that, only because it doesn't work properly it causes a mass genocide.
After that its difficult to know exactly what to do because its kind of End Game territory but it could have created a kind of peace but maybe with Charles trying to rebuild and Magneto being despondent at the massacre he caused. I guess it skips the 'evil Xmen' in the future but I'm not sold on that idea.
I dont think this idea fully works either but there is definitely something to fix in the magneto wins timeline.
This was my fave X-Men movie, but that rewrite does sounds pretty dope. My only caveat is that I want more Cyclops, by far the most misused as a character, even in the new ones.
Cyclops is my favorite marvel character ever, and in these movies. . .😔
@Chris They made it look boring in order to push Wolverine. Marketing trick
@Chris This "bad boy" wolverine is a low quality Wolverine (except for Logan). The entire saga is a load of crap
Agreed. Criminally underused in the films.
In the “Magneto wins” future, Wolverine could have to team up with Cyclops to escape the authoritarians and find Kitty Pride.
would give them some character growth as Wolverine is leaving Jean
I love how they call Kitty Pryde “Ellen Page” and not by the character’s name (which is a shame because Page was great as Kitty)
Edit: Page recently came out as “Elliot Page,” which I think is awesome for him! :)
Tbh, makes a lot of sense, as there's not enough for Kitty Pryde as a character in those films
Which is such a shame because Ellen Page is a great choice to play Kitty Pryde, and she was great when she was there.
@@mr.moviemafia She sure was!
Was the Kitty Pride of DoFP even Kitty Pride? She didn't have Kitty Pride powers. Felt kind of random tbh.
It's a mistake, the name is Elliot Page
The Magneto Wins timeline feels like it has some House of M elements in it.

One of the (many) issues of the X-men franchise for me is how the female villains and heroes are just so...lame. Storm is like...Xavier or Wolverine's assistant? Emma Frost was like...assistant to that other bad dude. Mystique...is stuck in this cycle of being/not being Magneto's assistant? Rogue is just. Let's not even go there. And..I don't think these roles were given to bad actresses at all but there was much to be desired. All in all the X-men films feel like they could've been greaT which makes the whole thing even more frustrating.
They were written for fanboys, except Logan.
you forgot about Jean! You know..... Xavier's other assistant
@@j.mbarlow5952 and second Jean her clone
@@BigHenFor Wait, fanboys for whom? As the comics' fan, they sure weren't written well.
I mean I'd say thats an issue for most of the characters, cyclops was, an assistant, beast was, an assistant. It was pretty much just Logan, Magneto and Xavier that got any decent characters or plot goals. I think Quicksilver is the only side character that came out seeming pretty cool and not just an assistant. Perhaps some more standalone movies might have helped where the characters had their own goals or stuff to do that ran contrary to the other stuff happening.
Defo needed stronger female characters, but needed stronger characters in general too.
There's some great food for thought here - I especially love the idea of the triple timelines as emblematic of the X-Universe's themes as a whole. That said, this version strips out Mystique's arc entirely. Not only does this effectively write out the only female character arc in the movie, it also erases a major touchstone in Charles' arc (learn to believe again, overcome guilt = learn to let go and let other people make choices). So even though I agree with some of your points re: the movie's structure, young Charles/Mystique were far more compelling characters than Wolverine at that point in time, so overall I prefer the movie as written
"Not unlike your podcast..."
"Thank you."
Hehe.
Just for clarity, Trask's death in this rewrite is such a turbulent event to the flow of time that the "nothing is cemented until you wake up" thing that Kitty says early on gets overridden?
Because if so, that's the entire point of the characters in the future. They aren't there "just to die," they're there to build on the worry that what Logan has changed won't be enough, that the sentinels will get to him before the better time line is created, and something maybe worse will take its place. That's why it's important that he's in the background of the scenes; to keep an eye on things and ensure it doesn't spiral so far out of control that the future gets worse. But, it's also why the characters in the past have to be the driving force. Nothing in the future matters except for keeping Logan in the past. And in that past, Xavier and Magneto and Mystique need to make the right choices to ensure a better tomorrow, but Wolverine needs to give them the space to actually make those choices, spurred by nothing but the awareness that what they're grappling with could mean a horrific future.

@@ArdaB95 "What if, at the moment of Trask's death, he is pulled out of this timeline and thrust into the future?"
For that to happen, Trask's death would have to echo through the timestream, hard... as if already cementing, rather than still being in flux. Or at least that's how it comes across to me. Maybe he meant it differently, idk.
I'm not questioning why he jumped timelines after the proposed early wake-up. I'm questioning why that death would cause enough turbulence to then cause the early wake-up.
@@pyrosianheir The early wake up was caused by him seeing Stryker, causing flashbacks, like in the original movie, making his consciousness return to the future - it wasn't caused by Trask, it just happened at the same time.
This is one of my favorite CZcams channels, and I think you and Nando generally have brilliant insights into story, but...I strongly disagree on this one. First, I don't think the movie has a single protagonist, it really has three: Wolverine in the first act, Charles in the second, and Mystique in the third. And I think Mystique is ultimately the most important to understanding the themes. By the end, she's the character who undergoes the most change, she's the character who makes the decisions that sets history on one course or another, and she's the character who ultimately makes the final choice in the movie about how to resolve the conflict - something she can only do after Charles relinquishes control. The movie is about both Charles and Mystique learning to trust that other people can make the right decisions.
Seen through that lens, the future Sentinels aren't extensions of Trask's story, they're symbolic extensions of Mystique's: they're literally (genetically engineered) versions of her, running around killing. They're what happens when fear and hatred and the desire to control others run unchecked, and Trask being alive or dead is irrelevant to that theme.
The analysis here glosses over Mystiques importance entirely, and the rewrite essentially turns her into a MacGuffin.
I also disagree that it's not a good follow up to First Class; the spine of DoFP is her relationship with Charles, which grew directly out of their relationship in FC.
Of course, I'm biased because DoFP is my favorite of the X-Men movies, and of course it has flaws, but I think it's a lot stronger than it's being given credit for.
Great analysis, I completely agree
I think you're right!
Thanks for the alternate perspective. I liked the changes in the video but that was before I realized the good things it would be removing. Another superhero movie removing all the agency of its most important female character would be pretty tired.
Nice analysis. Also, it is worth mentioning two things they also ignored:
- That the re-made version clearly point fingers on who is right and ignores the theme of trusting others. This in turn shift the message from different world-view coexisting to make best possible future, to just "choosing the right person" which is profesor X and nobody else.
- And second one is just pure technical problem of having restricted lenght. They cutted way too little material to fit this whole storyline of "Magneto future". To present that other future, new characters, new factions and their goal... you would need around 1 hour. At least if you want to do it properly and not have someone explain it to Logan in one big info-dump and then immidietly jump to the resistence turning the time around.

“Magneto Wins” is up there with “Captain America is a Hydra agent” bananas and I love it
Emmet Kowler bet you there’s a whole theatre of people ready for a drink with an « evil sadistic version of Storm » too.
It's almost on the verge of Age of Apocalypse really
I love bananas too.
The scene between Young Charles and Old Charles is one of my favorite Marvel scenes ever.
When you got to the Magneto Wins timeline concept I had to applaud. Such a genius idea. All the plot points that flowed out of that made sense and even though I like Days of Future Past as it is, I would have liked yours a lot more.
Big fan of the channel and Nando. And although i see some the merits and points in your rewrite, I did really enjoy X-Men: Days of Future Past. As always, it's easier to try and re-write something than to write it. ;-) Thanks for the vid and your time.
not to mention elevating first class over DoFP which was the epitome of "meh"

Sometimes it's easier to see things after it's all said and done, which is usually my main issue with story rewriting. That being said, your rewrite does sound a lot more satisfying. I think they got hung up on the popularity of the retro vibe used in the prequel x-men movies.
So basically do you want to make a Heroes storyline out of the X-Men.

Love both channels. Together , this was magic.
I LOVE this rewrite. It's just perfect!
The only thing I dislike about this version is that it clearly states that Xavier's philosophy > Magneto's philosophy instead of leaving it a bit ambiguous like the other movies.
Perhaps then for the Apocalypse movie that would follow this one, we can see the other shoe drop. Xavier's efforts to reach a middle ground between mutants and non-mutants works at first, but when a massive threat like Apocalypse arises, the X-men are held back by bureaucracy, thus revealing the fatal flaw of middle ground philosophies: they're contingent on nothing changing. With a threat like Apocalypse, the X-men would have to do unthinkable things, such as alter free will of non-mutants, or even sacrifice tens of thousands of non-mutants, all of which goes against the purpose of a middle ground. You can't have a middle ground if nature is stacked in favor of one side and in effect against another. It's like the equivalent of a trailer park versus a mansion when withstanding a hurricane. One property clearly has the advantage and the backlash after the disaster settles will be immense. By the third act, the middle ground falls from beneath their feet and the only hope at the end to protect the mutants that survived Apocalypse from the non-mutants that survived Apocalypse...is Magento. The middle ground at the start of the movie will transform into the armistice at the end. A massive battle occurs between non-mutants and mutants, only ending in a violent draw. By the end, mutants and non-mutants won't engage each other in violent conflict, but mutants are forever exiled to the outskirts of civilization.
I think the whole idea of magneto winning should have been what happened in apocalypse because in this film, it would just be a pointless detour.

I wouldn't call it ambiguous. Erik clearly wins ahead of Charles at the end of First Class with humanity discovering (even though in the originals they weren't discovered until the late '90s/early 2000s) and "hating" (using quotes because the whole "threat to humanity" thing is barely an issue, even though that's the point of the X-Men) mutants, Charles losing his "sister" (ugh), the trust of Erik and getting crippled and Erik not losing a damn thing by exacting his revenge. DoFP just expounds on that, leading to Charles winning at the end by trusting Mystique to do the right thing instead of the wrong thing (AKA the Magneto thing). Can you tell I have a LOT of issues with this franchise?
This was well thought out, thank you for the collab!
I love this. Third video in a row ya earned the subscribe buddy.
wow, you guys are so good at writing these things. this actually makes the movie much more engaging and is a proper send off to the main cast.
This is an excellent re-write! Nice work
I hope they never recast Wolverine. That way, we may one day finally get to see a good X-Men movie that isn't about Wolverine.
Counterpoint, they recast Wolverine, but it's Laura Kinney Wolverine, not Logan Wolverine.
DOFP is not about Wolverine. It's part Xavier's and part Mystique's. Wolverine plays an important part but the movie doesn't revolve around him. I'd say that even Magneto has a bigger part than Logan
Didn't expect to see such video from you, but I'm glad you made it.
It was fun to think about a better FUTURE for the x-men movies
Oh my God, this is awesome. Way more satisfying. Thank you!!!
That is interesting but it would not work.
Wolverine's relationship with Jean was built in 1 movie not 4 or 5 like in MCU movies, so the callback to it would feel hollow. Also, because it's been 3 or 4 movies since we last saw her, it would be forgotten and is basically nonexistent. This movie (as you've written it) does not establish this relationship either which means that the emotional dilemma for Wolverine does not work well.
And this essentially cuts the movie in half. There is no way to quickly explain Magneto's world and how it came to be, which means you're going to need an info dump 60% of the way in. Combine that with the fact that all stakes have changed and the status quo has changed and this will feel like a new movie rather than a buildup that orgincally adds to the previous first half.
It's like how Fant4stic had a timejump halfway through the movie. It ruined pacing, plot, stakes, and added a huge amount of character change that was never Shown to the audience and made it feel unearned. It ruined that movie.
This change would do the same. The failure at the midpoint of an action movie should add to stakes but not change the nature of them. This isn't a twist that changes our perspective on previous events but creates a new everything. As fun as it sounds, it simply would not work in a 2 hour Hollywood movie. If it were an indie movie with experimental structure and tone, it might, but Fant4stic is a case study for why changing the status quo in the middle of an action movie does not work.
That being said, I like the idea of a sort of Magneto-ruling House of M timeline with Wolverine in a dilemma. If you have flashbacks with him at the beginning remembering Jean, then you might be able to get away with their relationship in the alternate timeline. But it's also important to show the audience how Xavier can work with humans better than Magneto to foreshadow both the timeline change and the happy ending, otherwise it won't have proper weight.
I disagree with your core argument, but you convinced me to watch Fant4stic.
Id like to point out wolverine has visions of jean in the wolverine, the movie that came out before dofp
@@matthewd9370
That's a good point.
However, I'm probably not the only one who forgot about it. If a relationship doesn't play a significant role in a movie, it will only be remembered during that movie.
@@keithg460 Wolverine and Jean Grey's relationship are indeed underplayed. It has always been in the movies.
I thought after DoFP they would make new movies set in the present days. Also i kinda think Logan should have took place in that timeline but whatever, that movie was great as it is
I would of made the battle against Apocalypse in present day. He awakens due to time being alteted.
Haven't but barely strarted watching, but already gave a thumbs up. I mean Sage AND Nando? I'm obviously in for a treat! ♡
As two movies, (where the first ends with the introduction of the magneto wins timeline) this idea would be an absolute bonkers experience. If only...
Between this and RoS, Nando's been hitting his rewrites out of the park. Great video as always
This is great work! Would make an amazing movie. Thanks for making this ☺️
Omg thank you for this absolutely brilliant!!!!!
Really enjoyed this!
I actually loved this film but love this idea even more.
Once you hit us with the "Magneto Wins" timeline I was all in. Excellent rewrite.
Amazing work guys
Omg I love it, I wasn't too huge on days of future past, but I enjoyed some of it, this seems like a great alternative to the plot!
Loved this!
So much better than most of Nando's rewrites, you can be proud !
i love ur videos man :)
This was a great video! I love rewrite videos cuz it gets me to think critically about stuff I've seen and also be creative in thinking up effective alternatives.
I like the changes you made, but I do wonder if the Xavier climax still works if he's not the main character and we've only had like 2 scenes (? 1 future and 1 past?) with him. I also think that this movie would be like 3 hours long, but I'm all for it.
The main problem I find with this rewrite is that it lacks a the climactic fight scene, which is pretty much necessary for a superhero film. Instead, we could send Wolverine back to the past and have old Xavier tell young Xavier and Beast to go to the White House. The White House attack plays out like it does in the original movie, with the task being to remove young Magneto's helmet so old Magneto can talk to him. After a massive fight, we end up with the Xavier Wins timeline.
I remember when Days of Future Past came out it was godlike.
This was great! As all of your content is
Yup, I love this rewrite!
WOW! This is actually really good! I'm just... wow.
That was really beautiful! I would also embelish the rewrite with some seeds forshadowing the ending. Like short visions of a woman talking to him or hearing whispers all throughout the movie, even before his initial trip, culminating and blending with his visions of the weapon x experiments. This woman would be Kitty Pride from the future equilibrium guiding him through his journey to end up in the good future.

It’s weird and at the same time awesome to hear someone else plugging Mostly Nitpicking
I was about to say the jumping back and forth of the different timelines might get distracting then I remembered BttF 2 and... yep I'm on board with your movie rewrite :)
Days of Future Past is easily my favorite of the whole franchise. I’m totally okay with the movie as is even though there’s many things I can nit-pick, like killing off the whole cast from First Class? Why? But other than that, I’d say it was among the top 5 best Superhero films of the 2010s. With all that said, I like all your rewrite ideas and I think that would have helped the movie be even more memorable for the general audience.
I wanna see this movie now. Great vid.
great video ! Hey i know this isn't your regular field, but would you mind making a video on the excellent writting of "Attack on titan", and what writters should learn about that Manga ? And if you haven't seen it, really you SHOULD !!!
Omg, I want to see your version of this movie so bad now!
Damn! I love this!
Now we need the JustWrite&Nandocut :)
I really like this rewrite
Seems like this kind of story, with two separate post apocalyptic futures, would require two movies to tell well. Which is kind of what the X-Men franchise deserves. Part 1 can focus most of the runtime on the new cast, and act as a sequel to First Class first and a sendoff to the original cast second, and Part 2 would focus the majority of the runtime on the old cast, and be primarily that send off. So now you don't have to do as much heavy lifting in two hours, and you get a big end-game level event for the X-Men.
Kinda seems like what they did with the two part adaptation of Stephen King’s IT. Which coincidentally also starred James Macavoy
@@JacobMinger I wouldn't complain I really enjoyed those.

Bro I love it that’s such a great idea, although I would do the future timeline first to rise up the stake till the end of the movie then left a cliffhanger for the second one to solve in the past and then wrap up both the past and the future’s character arc
While I think this sounds like a great movie, I would not be able to enjoy much of the Magneto Wins Timeline. I'm very particular about my time travel, and Wolverine’s consciousness _skipping ahead_ isn't something I can get behind. There could be a time jump with some reason for Logan to be out of the picture, so that the rest of the movie can play it the way you say. But the Trask Wins Timeline doesn't _become_ the Magneto Wins Timeline; otherwise, you're just erasing the timeline that set everything into motion in the first place. It's the classic time traveller's paradox.

@@Dagenspear Yes, I suppose I should have clarified that this is also an issue I have with the original, one that I would want any rewrite to fix.
But in the original it is slightly less of a problem because the skip happens at the very end if the movie, so I spend less time hating it, haha.
Ngl, Your rewrite sounds like the superior story here.
Holy shit, this would have been awesome! Great job.
I would totally rewatch this FIX
i'm mildly appalled by how much better this is lmao thanks for the new headcanon
Fantastic ❤️
I love this. Showing every possible "X Guy Wins" timeline feels like the thesis of what X-Men has always been about. Characters are always fighting about whose ideology is better, so what does it look like when each ideology *actually* wins? The themes are all about changing the world, so what does that changed world actually *look* like?
12:30 thank you for this movie..you altered my memory. This is the Just Write wins timeline
I loved the idea of making the meeting of the old and the new the main theme and setting up the challenges so that they can be the climax/resolution. That could have made this movie a lot more memorable and impactful
This was brilliant
Your comedy is improving!
Good ideas. Very good ideas. And the Magneto Wins Timeline sounds a lot like the Age of Apocalypse - seeing a Dark Beast would be great.
what a bittersweet video. such a great idea that will never be.
Rewriting movie plots is a dangerous hobby, but a tempting one.
Wow I really want to see this version of Days of Future Past!!
Lovingly, newly, and excitedly *Elliot
Yay Elliot!!
That rewrite felt compelling and it would make certainly a great movie
Great video
I wish that I could go to an alternate timeline where the movie you guys describe is the one that is made.
That sounds so awesome ! I'm way more invested in this than I should 😅
Why do you think filmmakers make these "mistakes" ? Plotholes, lack of emotional, meaningful moments... When you put so much money in making these movies, how come they don't have guys like you to proofread the scripts ?
I love this rewrite. I also think it would have worked better as the 3rd prequel movie, instead of the 2nd. Like you say, there’s a whole movie’s worth of events that have taken place, so maybe that’s what the sequel to First Class should have been, then this rewrite would serve to cap off the trilogy, as well as leaving the future timeline in a nice place.
The first movie was about Magnito trying to take over the world, and the ‘last’ would see him not only succeed, but also ultimately change his mind. ‘*chef’s kiss*’
Great idea
Reminds me a bit of the ending of the tv show Legion, which was brilliant.
This is a worthy rewrite. It would make it more compelling.
I like your story much better now that you explained it now I want to see that movie when are you going to make it
Wow. I want to see this movie so badly. This is great :)
