True, though to be fair at least it was a better representation of the character powerwise and lookwise than her appearance in The Last Stand. *Spoilers for Apocalypse* She does end up surviving Apocalypse and just leaves, so maybe she'll return in future movies and get development (maybe in that X-force movie Fox has been talking about).

or so it seems...

Psylocke in X:Men Apocalypse looks absolutely perfect, but she isn't a character so much as an action figure; she has maybe two lines of dialogue, explaining absolutely none of her motivations. She definitely has lots of badass action moments, but they didn't really even try to flesh her out as a person.

Holy shit, the X-men have gotten complicated since I was a kid.

It's funny you should say this because Munn dived into the character & stood up for the character but the directors were completely clueless on the storyline and this was poorly managed and made.

Check out Munn's interviews where she openly speaks about her artistic differences due to her insistence for the characters proper portrayal.

I kinda wish they'd have psylocke interact with captain Britain more because, despite the fact that they're twin siblings, they don't actually talk that much. I just think it would be cool to see more interactions between the two, with maybe psylocke checking in on her brother or either of them coming to each other for advice with certain situations.

Great break down of the history of Ms. Betsy Braddock, however, the fact that she is not a mutant was missed. It was covered in the old Captain Britain comics that Betsy and her brothers are decedents of the same race of extra-dimensional aliens as Merlin. Her abilities have more to do with how she understands her abilities to work, rather than how they actually work, which is the ability to alter reality. Her older brother Jack's insanity unlocks his raw potential, While Brian's inner focus resulted in his superhero physique and powers. In Betsy's case, it was her psyche.

I literally typed comics explained psylocke and this popped up. It's crazy how far you've come. short change my dude. short change

Psylocke is my favorite female Marvel hero.

I definitely think that Psylocke needs her own movie.

I was introduced to Psylocke when she wore armor and had curly purple hair a little before the whole siege perilous thing. Didn't really like the new look for a long time. Until i went back and read the new mutant issues with her, giving a better understanding of her inner motivations n stuff. After that i saw how an uber sexy killer ninja badass fit her. So I like it now. If she is ever used more in movies, i'd like to hear her talk with a british twang, that'd be sweet.

Man, whenever I hear of astrolprojection I just remember how Jackie Chan Adventures explains how useless it is lol

How is it possible for one man to know so much about comics? Really been enjoying your X-Men videos!

She was completely underused

Hence they *BOTH* identify as *Psylocke* due to the fact they're psychically locked with one another. Then in an effort to ease the psychic torture of being split, and due to the fact each of them are now identifying with this ONE identity (Psylocke) they seek to kill each other to claim the 'title'.

She's important cause her costume is hot.

This may seem ignorant, but simply in the little I know about the X-men/Marvel comics, the ingenuity of the authors and artists simply amazes me!

One of my all time favorite X-Men characters. Great video. I'll let you know how I feel about her after I see the movie. I'm skeptical but I'm trying to keep an open mind about it.

Late 80s to all of 90s up until the image comics shake up marvel was so good

psylock only had like two lines in flick. why was she in it anyway just to shoehorn a character into the movie. they should focus on plot and character development

Yeah man, keep it up. I really liked Olivia Munn’s Version of the character in that last movie, I think the role was cast well. And her costume was great, I think she did a great job

Psylocke was great in what she had in the new Apocalypse movie. I was just hoping for a lot more. She barely had any dialogue. And, Olivia Munn is awesome.

8:44 I remember reading this comic back in the day.

I didnt know much about Psylocke until now!

Rob, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Marvel's current landscape overall. Like do you believe that Marvel is slowly trying to kill the mutants off and replace them with Inhumans?

Love her. Really hope they bring her into the new XMEN reboot. She's one of my favs in MCOC .

I'm glad that we finally get a true, PROPER Psylocke in the movies!! And she freaking looks the part too! Great job for the costume designer!

I'll disagree. The Psylocke from the movie was little more than a cardboard cutout. The look and the psyblade they got (but wtf psywhip?!?), but they completely failed to develop her at all. The mutant at the very beginning who shielded Apocalypse was better developed than Psylocke. I'll give them kudos for at least including the costume and power, but they failed to include Psylocke in this movie.

They may well as just called her Kwannon or Revanche.

Psylocke suffered from the same problem all the villains suffered from in the movie. She was under developed and under utilized. If you removed her from the film it would not have changed much of anything. It's sad because Olivia Munn is great and I hope she gets to come back to the character in a script that does the character justice.

joe quesada I have to think hard of any changes he has made that I like in regards to xmen.....that jim lee psylocke tho is stuff of legends

They did Psylocke wrong in X-Men Apocalypse. Truly, they even made Apocalypse look weak.

FINALLY somebody did her history correctly. I've had to correct some people who didn't do much research at all. I appreciate what you did. Still a fan of the original and to me better Psylocke, thanks.
