Hugh Jackman as Wolverine with the X-Men team from the last Stand
Summary The original X-Men trilogy may have been seminal Marvel movies in their day, but rewatching them in hindsight reveals some less favorable moments. The original X-Men trilogy is celebrated for its groundbreaking achievements, kickstarting the future Marvel movie boom of the early 2000s. However, with advancements in special effects, changes in audience expectations, and the evolution of comic book adaptations, certain moments that once resonated now feel out of place.
However, as comic book movies evolved, so did audience expectations - including a desire for fidelity. Hugh Jackman finally donned a comic-accurate Wolverine costume in Deadpool & Wolverine, and the movie was lauded for it. This X-Men scene in retrospect is even more conspicuous, as it’s now been proven that many viewers would have absolutely preferred the yellow spandex.
1 8 The Mystique Plot Hole X-Men Close In the first X-Men, Mystique infiltrates Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, leading to significant consequences for the team. Precisely how she manages to do this without being detected by Charles Xavier, the world’s most powerful telepath, has become a notorious plot hole. Given Xavier’s abilities, it seems implausible that Mystique could slip past his defenses so easily.
6 Jean Grey's Sacrifice X2: X-Men United Close In X2: X-Men United, Jean Grey sacrifices herself to save the team, lifting the Blackbird into the air before she is crushed under the waters of Alkali Lake. This serves to set up her transformation into the Dark Phoenix for X-Men: The Last Stand. Though X2 did proffer some insight that Jean was struggling with her powers, the scene lacks sufficient explanation for why she saw her death was "the only way.
4 Phoenix Kills Cyclops X-Men: The Last Stand Close One of the most controversial moments in X-Men: The Last Stand is the death of Cyclops at the hands of Jean Grey. Cyclops, a key character in the X-Men comics and the leader of the X-Men team, is killed off early in the film. This decision wasted a great character and undermined the emotional stakes of the story. Given his importance to both Jean and the team, it would have been more effective if Cyclops had been killed later in the movie.
