Manage episode 499097886 series 2856555
The mutants are back, and this time they’re united! Join Eric, a.k.a. Mr. Honest, as we revisit X2: X-Men United (2003)—a sequel that takes everything the first X-Men movie started and cranks it up to eleven. From Nightcrawler’s legendary White House attack to Magneto’s jaw-dropping prison break, X2 delivers action, heart, and the perfect balance of heroism and moral gray. Eric dives into:
- Jean Grey’s unforgettable sacrifice at Alkali Lake
- How X2 planted the seeds for the Phoenix Saga
- Why this film proved superhero movies could be epic, emotional, and cinematic
- Its connection to today’s MCU and the multiverse
