Marvel’s 20th Century Fox Era: The Original ‘X-Men’ Trilogy | Episode 242

2 Black Nerds

In anticipation of the release of "Deadpool & Wolverine" later this summer, we’ll be revisiting 16 Marvel movies released by 20th Century Fox, from the original X-Men trilogy to the most recent Deadpool films, unpacking moments of an era that helped shape modern comic book cinema. In this first episode of the series, we discuss the original X-Men Trilogy, it's significance, our personal experience with the films, and of course some of our favorite moments of the movies.

After the opening dicussion about our relationship with the trilogy, we kick things off with 2000's 'X-Men' (31:15) to recap its significance in the context of modern day superhero films. We then transition to 'X2: X-Men United' (1:09:43), which was widely regarded as one of the greatest comic book films of all time when it was released. After that, we wrap up the discussion with the disappointing conclusion of 'X-Men: The Last Stand' (1:58:36)
