X-Men: Dark Phoenix - 40 WTF Moments

14. The Idiot Chopper Pilots... YEET!

Here's a hint for you - just in general - if you're ever in a helicopter that a supervillain with horrifying powers suddenly starts to try and destroy while you're sitting in it, maybe jump out of it? Don't just sit there watching as your would-be murderer tries to murder you while you're still a safe distance away from the ground.

In the end, it works out well, because Magneto saves the pilots and all of the other soldiers who stupidly climb back onto the helicopter while it's in danger because they're all idiots and then Magneto just yeets the vehicle over the horizon and all is well. Not the most subtle of films, this.

13. "Poochy Died On The Way Back To His Home Planet"

Every time Jean suddenly looks up and flies away with her arms straight by her side, it's impossible not to think of Poochy being edited out of his final Itchy & Scratchy episode. Once you see it, you'll never unsee it.
