How It Should Have Ended Season 1 Episode 18 X-Men: First Class; Spider-Man
- May 13, 2014
In episode 18 of How It Should Have Ended season 1, the team takes on two blockbuster movies: X-Men: First Class and Spider-Man. In the first part of the episode, the team reimagines the ending of X-Men: First Class. After a climactic final battle, the team suggests that instead of Charles Xavier being paralyzed by a stray bullet, he uses his telepathy to stop the bullet mid-air. This leads to a humorous sequence where the team imagines different scenarios where Charles uses his powers for everyday activities, such as catching a flying popcorn kernel at the movie theater.
Next, the team moves on to Spider-Man, and specifically the scene where Peter Parker discovers his powers. In the original movie, Peter is bitten by a radioactive spider and immediately gains his abilities. However, the team suggests that it would have been more realistic if Peter had to try out his powers gradually, learning what he could and couldn't do over time. From there, the team takes the idea even further, imagining a hilarious sequence where Peter tries out his powers in various situations, such as attempting to lift a car or climb a wall while wearing flip flops.
Overall, the episode is a fun and lighthearted take on two classic superhero movies, providing a fresh perspective on how things could have gone differently. Whether you're a fan of X-Men or Spider-Man, there's plenty to enjoy in this entertaining episode of How It Should Have Ended.
