Folks, I love the XMen. When I was a kid, Professor Charles Xavier and his band of mutant outcasts were at their peak with Chris Claremont’s XMen bringing the superteam into the households of young comic book readers everywhere. Needless to say, I’m absolutely stoked by the recently released Disney Plus continuation of the 1990s animated TV series and have had XMen on the brain 24/7 these days... seriously guys, I’ve worn this sweatshirt like every day since midMarch... And seeing as I’ve been let down by the last couple of movies I’ve covered on this show Today I’m going to be selfish and talk about an entry in the Fox XMen universe that I love. A film that breathed new life into the decaying franchise with exciting new timelines and a fresh filmmaker with bright eyes and a passion for comics. A movie that promised a very exciting future for the coming XMen adventures... And we were almost immediately let down. But we did get a few great entries in the First Class saga and that’s where we’re going to begin for today. I just can’t handle any more bad superhero movies right now without getting depressed. So, in today’s video I’m going to revisit Matthew Vaughn’s Xcellent 2011 prequel film, XMen: First Class.
Now, this movie (and really this entire collection of movies) is sort of a soft reboot of the XMen series that was originally led by Brian Singer. This film introduced Charles Xavier as a young man in the 1960s whose life purpose is found through his discovery of a way to help other mutants hone their abilities and use them for good. The film feels like a new telling of the XMen altogether with some continuity changes and switcharoos being present throughout the film, but it also is the same film that came before Fox brought back the original cast for a timetravel crossover film adaptation of “Days of Future Past” so honestly don't get too caught up on the timeline and continuity of these movies because, boy is it fucked.
But in any scenario First Class truly represents what makes the XMen such a juggernaut (pun very intended) in the comic book community. It’s a story about family, purpose, sacrifice, and rebirth, and it really is one of those movies that I swoon over every time I watch it so, let’s see if today’s video goes better than the last few on Marvel Revisited.
