00:00Which characters were nerfed in the X-Men movies?
00:02First, the comic book juggernaut, he gets his powers by reciting an incantation using the
00:06mystical gem of Sidorak. He gains strength powerful enough to punch through anything
00:10and becomes an invulnerable being. But in the films, he was turned into a joke.
00:14He acts like a three-year-old and is defeated when someone sticks an electric cable up his
00:17backside. Then came Darwin. His power is evolution itself, the survival of the fittest.
00:22He adapts to any environment, even outer space. No nuclear weapon could hurt him,
00:25and he should theoretically be immortal. Even so, in X-Men, first class,
00:29Shaw forces Darwin to swallow his energy sphere, and he simply cannot adapt and explodes.
00:34Finally, Gambit. In the comics, he is charismatic, elegant, and deadly. He charges playing cards with
00:39kinetic energy and throws them like bombs. Even Wolverine struggles against him. But in X-Men
00:43Origins, Wolverine, Gambit barely appears, he twirls a staff, throws a few cards,
00:47and vanishes without depth or charm. In my opinion, the most underrated is Darwin. And yours?
