He isn't genderless, he is sexless. Gender is not the same as biological sex. He was voiced by a woman in the Genesect movie because of problems with copyright (of the first movie), but in the anime he is presented as a masculine figure. The last time he appeared (2020) he was voiced by a man again.

such an amazing video bro. Always felt a weird appeal to mewtwo and it all makes sense now. Thanks for explaining it bruh 👊

Remember mewtwo is the only pokemon who murdered people.

As wise men say "Smart man only believes half of what he hears, a wise man knows which half."

Plus the Japanese OST is so hit you right in the guts it’s so good Mewtwo definitely is one of my favorite legendaries of all time (Though Latias and Latios are my number 1 🙃 )

Hey, really enjoyed this video. :) But, the next time you start to do your everyday sobbing, remember, we all love you and think you're awesome!

Thats y this is definitely one of greatest pokemon movies but when we watched this movie we were kids and things we found cool / scary is the only memory any kid will have of mewtwo strikes back cuz we were kids noone remembers the story of how good it is it had a plot

I found this part just a couple years ago after never knowing this existed for about 20 years. This part is so crucial to the film, it's beautiful 💖

This is why out of all the Pokémon movies, especially the first 3, this one takes it home. For the simple fact that it was a Pokémon movie but yet with a violent intro to the movie. Something that the cartoon didn't show and obviously the part with the little girl at the beginning when she starts to fade away and all that's left is mewtwo... that shit in least to me gets me everytime when i watch it.

Absolutely beautifully put. Thank you for compiling this.

Excellent presentation of Mewtwo. I love Mewtwo character and it origin. I wish Pokemon can revisit Mewtwo to establish continuity. Pokemon Journeys failed on Mewtwo in an episode that Mewtwo does not recognize Ash. The same for the Genesect movie, but it's a female Mewtwo from the Unova region which interestingly was created from a lab in Unova. I came up with a scene that can tie both Mewtwo stories together and fix a plot hole in the episode of Pokemon "The Battle of the Badge". Supposedly, around the time when Mewtwo was created in the Kanto region. Scientists from Unova able to obtain the formula from the scientists back in Kanto thanks to Team plasma for their hacking operation as they take an interest in Pokémon cloning. So,the scientist in Unova hired by Team Plasma to experiment Pokemon cloning which result in creating Mewtwo (female) and Genesect. In the end, both labs result the same fate where it being destroyed by their Mewtwo. Mewtwo in Kanto met by Giovanni which became Giovanni "partner" while the Mewtwo in Unova destroyed the lab and escaped on her own. The only way to make a connection of these Mewtwos is from an episode of Pokemon "The Battle of the Badge" where Giovanni received a phone call informing him that there is an accident. So he left Jessie and James to take care of the gym while he goes to Mewtwo and tells it that he has an "emergency assignment" that it needs to complete. About the phone call, this accident means that Team Rocket was monitoring the situation closely in Unova after they discovered their information been hacked by Team Plasma. The the destruction of the Unova lab occurred separately a few months after the accident in the Kanto lab. Which mean when it happen, Team Rocket gets involve immediately. To avoid a war against Team Plasma as they are searching for their Mewtwo, Team Rockets secretly goes after their Mewtwo in Unova. Therefore, Giovanni tells Mewtwo that this assignment must be complete. Mewtwo is puzzle wondering why, but Giovanni tells Mewtwo that in order to rule the world as the only powerful Pokemon, you must take out the other competition. Mewtwo still looks confused, but at the same time he was distracted by the sight of the Unova region and seeing it region Pokémon. Giovanni then pressure Mewtwo giving a scenario of what would happen if the world learn about the other existence of a powerful and not Mewtwo? How would it feel to be disrespected and ignore? That would make Mewtwo useless. This surely fired up Mewtwo as he vow to complete the mission. So Mewtwo and Giovanni are on this island somewhere in Unova which they track the location of a mysterious Pokémon . Mewtwo use it psychic power causing a tsunami to wipe out any pokemon on the island. Then a burst of light flashed apporaching from afar to stop the tsunami. After the tsunami was clear, it is reveal that this mysterious Pokémon is none other Mewtwo. This shocks Mewtwo (Kanto). He looks froze trying to process what just happen. He is shock seeing another kind of his. Mewtwo (Kanto) notice this is a chance for him to know more about this other Mewtwo and about it origin, but Giovanni kept pressuring Mewtwo telling lies that it is a clone and must be killed immediately. The Mewtwo in Unova can see through the armor of Mewtwo (Kanto) identify him to be the same as her. Mewtwo (unova) wonder why it siding with the human.So the two battles, Mewtwo (Kanto) seems to have the upper hand as it suit gave more power, however it began to have some sympathy on this other Mewtwo. So Mewtwo (Kanto) not holding back giving it all. Mewtwo (Kanto) is surprise to see another kind of his is strong just as him, the same goes for the other Mewtwo. Mewtwo (Kanto) starting to regret on this assignment as it want to be with this Mewtwo so they both can learn about themselves. The two clashes for a while as Mewtwo (Unova) is starting to feel fatigue. Giovanni pressure Mewtwo that he don't have much time left and need to end it quick. So Giovanni sends out some drones to finish the job, but Mewtwo (Kanto) destroy them all saying that it is almost over. The other Mewtwo question Mewtwo (Kanto) is that it only purpose to live? This stuns Mewtwo (Kanto), but Giovanni words got the best of it as the two sides are conflicting Mewtwo (Kanto). Mewtwo (Kanto) respond that it purpose is to be the only powerful in the world. Mewtwo (Kanto) use the rocks to pin Mewtwo (Unova) on the ground. The other Mewtwo is struggle to escape as a powerful attack of Mewtwo (Kanto) from the sky coming down quick. With just seconds the entire island blows up. During the explosion, tears can be seen coming out from Mewtwo eyes that it regret for killing someone who he can talk to understand more about his purpose in life. Seeing none of the remains, Giovanni conclude the assignment is a success. Now that they can truly rule the world together. However, Mewtwo is haunted by the words from the other Mewtwo.The scene end with Mew passing by when the Team Rocket helicopter left. To Be continued....

The original Mewtwo is my favorite Pokemon character. And his theme in the original? A horror inspired piece made with organ notes. It still gives me chills.

I miss this, back when cartoons had life teachings four kids. Also are we sure we aren't talk about sonic?

This kind of writing is what i wish the pokemon franchise in general would go back to.

Great video love the hat shirt choice ❤

I was pleasantly surprised when I watched the Japanese version for the first time recently. So much important context was lost in the dumbed-down US version, and it's those kind of complicated questions and scenarios that led me deeper into anime in the first place. I do wish Pokemon would have at least opted for a slightly less comical approach, because Origins proved it could work. Overall though, the first movie is still amazing and Mewtwo will always be one of my favorite Pokemon.

I used to love and relate to this character a lot when i was a Child now i see and think a lot about why i love him sm

Fans: Mewtwo does not want to destroy the world in the Japanese version Mewtwo in the Japanese version: 12:44

Reminds me of my experience with the mental health system

The biggest flaw the dub was not keeping the original message.

I used to think it was odd how the humans were so horrified to see their Pokémon fighting the clones, in a world where battles are commonplace and never cause serious harm to the Pokémon. But a line of dialogue in the CGI remake, Mewtwo Strikes Back: Evolution, makes things a lot clearer. Before the fight begins, Mewtwo says, "We don't need to use our moves" (or anything like that, I can't remember the exact quote), making it clear that this is not a Pokémon battle (a friendly competition akin to wrestling), but rather, a real fight to the death. This explains why the Pokémon are punching and biting each other instead of using Flamethrower, Hydro Pump etc.

Fun fact the 1st movie wouldn’t be as dark as it is now without the porygon episode. Since the porygon episode gave people seizures the Pokémon company was trying to fix everything with the porygon episode so they can continue the anime. While this process was going on the original writer of the pokemon anime and the 1st 3 movies. The writer used this time to make the 1st movie darker than it was going to be. When the 1st movie became a massive success he was given an opportunity to make his own pokemon for the 2nd movie that being Lugia and the 2nd movie was planned completely differently with a completely different story that didn’t have characters we know like ash Ketchum since the original writer for the anime didn’t like ash. He tried to get rid of ash through a scrapped episode where he is much older. I forgot the writers name.

The anime writer and main scriptwriter for the first three films was Takeshi Shudo. He had in mind that Pokémon would acquire more maturity and realism, but they did not let him since it was for children. I maintain that Pokémon would have been a cult series worth remembering in this century if it had known how to exploit its full potential with as many themes as it had available, but it was reduced to a perpetual children's series.

Love this film in Japanese. Not a fan of the dub changes regardless of nostalgia.

you do great videos!

Pokémon The First Movie is nothing short of genius, and that’s not an over exaggeration. In a format suitable for children, it raises ideas about creationism, existence, meaning and purpose. Many of these ideas lie within canonical literature such as Frankenstein. Wonderful film.

This was a great video. And as much as I love subtlety and nuance, as someone who grew up with a lot of abuse and trauma, "I see now that the circumstance's of one's birth is irrelevant, it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." absolutely made me bawl. That is the one line I don't think I could do without, even though I agreed with your analysis for the rest of the dub. Sometimes spelling stuff out is better, subjectively, but it is a fine line to walk, and overdoing it can just become annoying. I grew up without watching Pokemon because of my abusive mother calling it 'witchcraft' and so here I am, 23 years later finally watching the series and movies. I felt sad near the start of my watch, as if I didn't deserve to watch the series because I had missed out on it, and that maybe it'd make me a 'fake' fan or something. But, I guess, it's never too late to live your best childhood, because Pokemon can teach valuable lessons to even adults. I'm so happy I'm finally watching the series, it's so beautiful.

There are plenty of ways to relate mewtwo (as an individual) and mewtwo's unperishable powers to humanity itself. Mark my words, this is a legendary movie. A million times more legendary than all the other pokemon movies. We should thank mewtwo for litting up a side of humanity that it wish they could use against life. But, now that you think about it, why is humanity's wish to become stronger than life inaccurate, or to become unbalanced. After mewtwo causing the amount of damage he caused, he thought he was helping humanity become more understanding towards him. But he did'nt seem to connect to the other side. That his power was without mercy pulling all the pokemon and the people into his own hands. The situation mewtwo put himself in should be thought of like this: (A weaponless individual vs a large shopping mall crowd). True for life, this is how confusing the ongoing relationship between life and humanity can get 🥱 Good grief.
