This video made me feel so much better which is like weird, but I just had lots of fun making it (not that I did not have fun making my other vids).

Sometimes I am just hit hard by need/wants for specific stories/fandoms/etc and fall head first into obessions for a while that can be a week or a month sometimes its long time, I guess its strange, it feels strange to me, sometimes it tiring to feel so hard for something (my mind is not my friend and it can be very hard to make it stop/redirect it when it gets hung on some through)

so thats how last week I watched all the x men movies I could get my hands on repeatly including Wolverine: Orgins, X men Last stand, and the Rogue cut for Days of the future past which I had not seen before (this has no value of information in relation to this video, just saying it because i have emotions about xmen and this emotions now includ this movies too)

I vid this "blind" just patching part to part, it is not a very lyrical tangled vid, more a little mood piece. 

 

My fav scene in X2 is when Logan says, "Go! I can do this alone!" something along the line when he meets Stryker who attacked the school and Rogue says "But we can´t" and thats why I made this video.

There are many scenes that are not in the video that i wanted to include, (i own the first class movie but my pc did not want to rip it I found some scenes on yt (same for the last stand deleted scene) - (for example the one after Shawn came and took Angle and killed Darwin, the way Charles runs to hug Raven, and how he wanted to send the "kids" home, but they and Erik protested).

 

Xmen: Rogue: "why don´t we get any?" Bobby: Yeah where are ours? - Wolverine: "oh they are orderd and should arrive in a few years"

 

alternative ending scene for last stand: Bobby to Storm *laughing*: "Looks like we need a few more suits"

 

Apocalypse: -Mystique: "You got a warjet, now lets go to war"

-Jean: "Were you scared?" - Mystique: "No," Pause "but on my first mission I was scared, I was in a jet like this one with my friends, around your age, we called ourself the X-Men [...]" - Nightcrawler: "what happend to the other kids? the x men?" - Mystique:"Hank and me are the only one left, I couldn´t save the other ones." (i love so much about this, how she starts this story, sounding happy, remembering her friends, how she puts the blame/failure on herself, its definitly one of my better liked scenes in apocalypse (which maybe my least favorite x men movie so far)

-Mystique: "You are not kids anymore, you are not students, you are Xmen!"
