Line #15 Narm/XMenFilmSeries


1	!''Film/XMenFilmSeries''
2
3	!!X2
4	* Stryker talking to "Senator Kelly" like he's some kind of young upstart is pretty weird to see, given that Brian Cox and Bruce Davison are the exact same age and look it.
5
6	!!X-Men: The Last Stand
7	* Mystique referring to her birth name as her "slave name". It'd be one thing if she'd said something like "[[ThatManIsDead Raven Darkholme is no more]]", but this is just silly, especially since no other mutant supremacist, not even Magneto, ever showed any similar issues.
8	* Quill/Kid Omega tries an IntimidationDemonstration by deploying his quills. It's supposed to be showing off both in and out of universe, but it's just laughable that he thinks that's intimidating to anyone, let alone Magneto and the Phoenix.
9
10	!!X-Men: First Class
11	* TheReveal of [[spoiler:Erik in full costume as Magneto after his FaceHeelTurn]]. What should be an AwesomeMomentOfCrowning is made [[spoiler:fairly silly by Magneto wearing the same color scheme as the comics--[[FashionVictimVillain bright red and purple]]--with the helmet especially looking rather daft in those colors & with the horns Erik has added to the front]]. The way he's standing, stiff as a board with his arms straight down, isn't helping either. A more dramatic pose could have made all the difference. Not to mention the helmet was on crooked.
12	* The name "Magneto" sounds pretty silly when said aloud, which is probably why he has mostly gone by Erik in all of the movies. Not to mention the name that he “prefers”, said so dramatically, was given to him earlier in the film by a bunch of partying, trying-to-be-cool teenagers. Kinda hard to take the name seriously with that origin, although it does at least make sense in terms of how silly it is.
13	* Creator/JenniferLawrence may be a good actress, but the way she delivered her "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Mutant and Proud]]" lines oftentimes came off like she was about to burst out laughing at the end of the take.
14	* The InstantDeathBullet used on Erik's mother. She literally flings up her hands. It just doesn't work.
15	* Hank [=McCoy=]'s secondary mutation when he tries to cure himself. The initial stages of the transformation are effective enough, but then there's the big reveal to his team-mates: looking like a skinny, bright blue kid-[[Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas Grinch]], with fake fur poofing out of every opening in his [[Main/SpandexLatexOrLeather tight-fitting yellow and black costume]]. Much more hilarious than Michael J. Fox's dad's similar reveal in ''Film/TeenWolf'', but, as the trope says, for the wrong reasons.
16
17	!!The Wolverine
18	* During the climax, Viper chases after Wolverine and Mariko, and hisses as she does so. Both her run and the hiss look and sound ridiculous.
19
20	!!X-Men Days of Future Past
21	* Magneto propels himself onto a train... by performing a pelvic thrust.
22
23	!!X-Men Apocalypse

25	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mystique_elbow.png]]
26	[[caption-width-right:350:Mystique's greatest weapons: her shapeshifting ability and her armpit stink.]]
27
28	* Apocalypse's "NO MORE!" speech is over-the-top [[EvilIsHammy hammy]] and just plain ridiculous, especially when he pauses at the end for the "No more superpowers" remark.
29	* [[spoiler:When Logan gets released and goes around killing ''everyone'' in Alkali Lake,]] the menacing effect is somewhat ruined by the bulky apparatus strapped to his head. While it ''is'' faithful to the [[spoiler:Weapon X helmet]] from the comics, most comic fans agree the helmet is silly anyway.
30	* Nightcrawler baring his teeth at the end. It looks like the writers just wanted him to do something while the other members of the X-Men prepare for a fight, but it looks really cheesy.
31	* [[spoiler:Jean/Phoenix]] suddenly walking through the air telekinetically while going to confront Apocalypse. It is meant to show [[spoiler:her godlike power by highlighting her]] menacing walk, but the act itself is so random and unexpected that it can easily draw laughs.
32
33	!!Logan
34	* While [[spoiler:Xavier's death and burial]] are heartbreaking, Logan taking his grief out by methodically wrecking their pickup with his shovel can cross into cartoonish field very easily.
35
36	!!Dark Phoenix
37	* It's hard to take the ending of the Genosha scene with Jean controlling the helicopters and Magneto trying to stop her seriously, since Creator/SophieTurner and Creator/MichaelFassbender were pantomiming "trying to push/pull an object with your mind" motions against a digital effect, and [[HamToHamCombat trying to outdo one another in terms of making ridiculously strained facial expressions]].
38	* [[spoiler:The scene where Jean forces Charles, a paraplegic, to walk up a flight of stairs.]] In-context, the scene should be horrifying, and it's shown to be immensely painful. However, its dramatic effect is lessened by resembling [[spoiler:the routine practiced by the [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Ministry of Silly Walks]]]].
