Tolerance Is Extinction - Pt 3 - S1-E10

Trivia: The various power levels shown for Magneto in the Magneto Protocol are reminiscent of Marvel trading cards, which would show similar various power levels on the back sides of a card.

Tolerance Is Extinction - Pt 2 - S1-E9

Trivia: SPOILER: The final shot of Magneto ripping the adamantium out of Wolverine's body is a faithful recreation of the panel from X-Men #25 where the incident originally happened.

Tolerance Is Extinction - Pt 2 - S1-E9

Trivia: When Rogue is joining Magneto, she hyperbolically mentions Morph being a member of the X-Men for 30 minutes before being killed. This is a reference to Morph being killed (though, later brought back) just a few minutes into the second episode of the original series, which would have been around 30 minutes of total runtime.

Tolerance Is Extinction - Pt 1 - S1-E8

Trivia: Bastion's mother actually appeared in the original animated series. She was the diner waitress from the "One Man's Worth" two-parter.

Tolerance Is Extinction - Pt 2 - S1-E9

Trivia: This episode sees the X-Men splitting into two strike forces, the Blue and Gold Teams, with the Blue Team traveling to Asteroid M to confront Magneto, and the Gold Team traveling to the Galapagos Islands to stop Bastion. This is loosely adapted from X-Men Vol. 2 #1, in which the Blue and Gold Teams were first established at Cyclops' proposal, with the Blue Team similarly traveling to Asteroid M to deal with Magneto.

Tolerance Is Extinction - Pt 2 - S1-E9

Trivia: When Cable scoffs at the uniform Cyclops gives him to wear, Cyclops asks if he was expecting black leather. This is a reference to the first X-Men film, when Wolverine scoffed at the X-Men's black leather uniforms, only for Cyclops to ask him if he preferred yellow spandex instead.

Trivia: Although this film marked Michael Keaton's return to the role of Batman, he was originally supposed to reprise the role the year prior in a Batgirl film, which also would have seen J.K. Simmons reprising the role of Commissioner Gordon from Justice League. Although it had completed filming and was gearing up for post-production, Warner Bros ultimately decided to cancel the film's release and ended up using it as a tax write-off.

Trivia: This was Patty Jenkins' first directorial effort in 14 years. This is despite the fact that her previous film, Monster, received critical acclaim and featured an Academy Award-winning performance from Charlize Theron.

Trivia: Michael Keaton said at Cinemacon 2024 that this was the most fun he ever had making a film.

Trivia: Ryan Gosling showed up to the premiere of this film dressed as Beavis from Beavis and Butt-Head. He had previously dressed up as the character a few weeks prior for an episode of Saturday Night Live, alongside SNL cast member Mikey Day, who was dressed as Butt-Head.

Trivia: Chris Hemsworth has blamed himself for this film's negative reception, stating he got carried away with the comedic improv and didn't stick the landing.

Bright Eyes - S1-E7

Other mistake: SPOILER: Gambit's funeral is taking place in his hometown of New Orleans, as evidenced by the coffins being above ground (because New Orleans is at or below sea level). However, Gambit's coffin is oddly lowered into the ground.

Trivia: Originally intended for theatrical release, this film ultimately had to be released through streaming after the North Korean government threatened to retaliate against the United States. A cyber crimes group allegedly tied to North Korea also hacked Sony's emails and made threats against theaters that had planned to show the film.

Remember It - S1-E5

Trivia: In this episode we learn that Cyclops has been having a psychic affair with Madelyne Pryor, and Emma Frost, a.k.a the White Queen, was eavesdropping on one of their sessions. In the comics, it's actually Emma Frost that Cyclops began having the psychic affair with.

Bright Eyes - S1-E7

Trivia: Trask refers to Mr. Sinister's Sentinel attack on Genosha as a "mutant massacre." In the comics, there is a storyline called "Mutant Massacre," which saw Sinister tasking a group of mutants called the Marauders to kill the Morlocks. Years later, it was revealed that Gambit was hired to help sneak the Marauders into the Morlock tunnels, making him culpable in the act. This is contrary to Gambit helping to save some Morlocks from the Sentinel attack in this show.

Bright Eyes - S1-E7

Trivia: The title of this episode is likely a reference to Rogue calling Cable "Bright Eyes" in the season 2 episode "Time Fugitives, Part 2" of the original series.

Bright Eyes - S1-E7

Trivia: When Rogue is attacking the military compound, some of her moves are the same moves she performs in X-Men vs. Street Fighter. (00:04:34)

Phaneron ★

Trivia: In the second trailer, Deadpool and Wolverine can be seen walking by a shop called "Liefeld's Just Feet." This is a jab at Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld, who is known for his inability to draw feet.

Remember It - S1-E5
