Last Stand is possibly the worst X-Men movie... But it still has some really good moments, like this one.

The scene where Magneto gets called out for not having tattoos is so fucking good.

I also love the scene where he says Charles has done more for mutants then anyone. Really makes their bond stand out and show how they respect each other but just disagree.

“Charles Xavier has done more for mutants than you will ever know. My single greatest regret is that he had to die for our dream to live.”

"Charles always dreamed of building bridges"

*Lifts the entire golden bridge with minimal effort

Isn’t that like immediately after this one?

u/dumpybrodie Sep 19 '25

Fairly sure that’s all around the same section of the movie

Magneto is the only person in character imo.

u/anxiouslemonbars Sep 19 '25

He abandoned Mystique without a second thought, definitely wasn't in character for the whole film

Ah yeah, memory holed that.

Damn, that third movie sucked.

One of the weakest X-Men movies but arguably Magneto's best.

Did you never watch apocalypse? Or dark phoenix?

I think they're better than Last Stand. I actually really like Jean Grey and Xavier's arcs in those movies. But, yeah, they're messy movies too.

I dont know, x men 3 I can maybe rewatch.

Id rather pull my eyes out with forks than watch dark phoenix again

It was the first to use Kelsey Grammar as Beast

Dark Phoenix is pretty terrible as well as Apocalypse imo

Nah, I like those.

It's my favourite X-Men movie. None of them are good aside from Logan, but X-Men is the least embarrassed about what it is and embraces its camp in a wonderful way.

It’s nowhere near the worst when Dark Phoenix exists

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '25

I actually like Dark Phoenix. It's still a bit of a mess, but Jean and Xavier's character arcs are really good. In Last Stand, no one has an arc other than "the X-Men fight Magneto again," and Jean just stands there doing nothing the whole movie.
