This X-Men: Apocalypse Commercial From 1983 Makes Us Want to Enroll in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters

"Sometimes being gifted doesn't feel like a gift!"

Can we go back to 1983 and enroll in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters? Please?

Leading up to the release of X-Men: Apocalypse next week, Fox released an oh-so-eighties commercial touting this training ground for talented teens.

Jubilee, a student with big hair, bigger earrings and a jacket full of buttons, totally gets it. "Sometimes being gifted doesn't feel like a gift," she says. "Nobody seems to understand you. Sometimes they're even scared of you..." 

But Jubilee found peers and even teachers who understood her when she enrolled in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters! And under the guidance of "world-renounced geneticist Professor Charles Xavier," students learn "how to control your gift while also getting the education and training that you need to success in the fast-paced world of 1983."

Jubilee's new pals confirm it: "Xavier's totally rad!"

X-Men: Apocalypse hits theaters May 27.
