Added DiffLines:

* BluntNo: When Mystique reveals that a large portion of the energy from Alkali Lake's dam is being sent to Stryker's version of Cerebro, Storm asks if she can shut it down from where the group currently is. Mystique curtly replies '''''"No,"''''' staring into the camera with an 'I'm surrounded by idiots' look. [[note]] In the DVD commentary, the creators of the film said they included that moment specifically to forestall any viewers or critics questioning ''why'' the characters can't just turn this version of Cerebro off, while delighting in how acidic Mystique is with that one word.[[/note]]

* TakeThat: Logan desperately tries to change the radio on the car when Music/{{NSYNC}}'s "Bye Bye Bye" plays after Pyro turns it on. Every passenger of the car also cringes in disgust and/or annoyance. [[note]] The film was released in 2003, shortly after *NSYNC had gone on an extended hiatus--when many people remembered their music as an embarrassing relic of the late '90s.[[/note]]

** When Magneto says that he believes one of the heroes knows the location of Stryker's secret base, Logan angrily says that "the Professor already tried," clearly thinking that Magneto's referring to his own memories. Magneto was ''actually'' talking about Nightcrawler, and snidely remarks, "Once again, you think it's all about ''you,''" as a small dig at the fact that [[SpotlightStealingSquad Wolverine, both before and after this film, tends to get the most focus when it comes to any and all types of X-Men related content.]]
