X-Men Roasted Its Own Third Movie 😭 | X-Men: Apocalypse

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) slipped a joke about third movies into its own movie theater scene, and it still makes me laugh. 😭 A conversation about Star Wars suddenly sounds very personal when Jean Grey declares that the third movie is always the worst.

Within the scene, they’re discussing Return of the Jedi. For anyone familiar with X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), that line lands as a pretty obvious wink at the franchise’s own third installment. The fact that Apocalypse is also the third film in the younger cast’s trilogy gives the joke another funny layer.

I love these moments where the characters keep having a normal conversation while the audience gets a completely different reason to laugh. Nobody needs to turn toward the camera. That one sentence does enough.

The superhero action can wait a second. Apparently, we have movie rankings to settle first.
