The movie Xavier and Laura were watching is 'Shane' from 1953, one of the first iconic western movies to exist. The movie is your typical western fare about a gunfighter tasked with dealing with some outlaws, but the ending points out that Shane (the titular gunfighter hero) is himself a cold-blooded killer, and now that his work is done, there's no reason for him to stay, and more than that, nobody WANTS him to stay either. His point is that being a killer is something that blackens your soul and leaves a permanent mark on who you are, and he tries to leave the future generation with enough reason that they don't go down the same path as he does. The funny thing is, this film itself is almost a remake of 'Shane', openly taking a lot of influence from it's themes and style. 'Logan' itself is very much a modern day western, with it's blatant themes of 'things are coming to an end' and 'we don't have a place in this world anymore', heavy themes about time moving on that feature in a lot of classic westerns like 'The Searchers' and 'Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid' (which you yourself already reacted to some time ago). Logan himself is a worn-down old killer, a man out of his time, living for far longer than he should have in a world where mutants don't really exist anymore. Just like Shane, Logan is a killer from another era who has no place anymore in the current world. At the end of 'Shane', Shane just left town, but at the end of 'Logan', Logan simply dies, but the short speech Laura makes at Logan's grave is actually lifted straight from the final scene of 'Shane', as Shane, the last gunfighter standing, says that it's time for the gunfighters to leave the world behind. He tells a young boy to run home to his mother and let her know 'there's no more guns in the valley'... because not even Shane himself is staying. At the end of it all, Logan tells Laura not to 'be what they made [her]', doing the same thing Shane did, urging the future generation to be better than his own, and to put Laura onto a better path with her life.

[@joelwillems4081]

Very good. The little boy, Joe, at the end wants Shane to stay though. He cries, "Shane... Shane, come back.'

[@jamesoblivion]

Excellent comment, but worth noting that Shane wasn't really one of the first iconic westerns. The first short western film was made in 1899, and feature length westerns had been made for 40 years by the time Shane was released. The western, by the 1950s, was already the most popular film genre. There were also dozens of westerns airing on primetime TV, despite the fact that there were only a few channels. At the time, there were older viewers who were actually alive in the 'old west,' which probably contributed a great deal to the pop culture significance of the western genre. The golden age of westerns began around 1940, with iconic films like The Westerner, so Shane was released into a world where the genre already dominated the box office.

[@jonm1114]

Just by way of background information, in the comics, "Baby Wolvie" is X-23, and goes by the name Laura Kinney. She has grown into a young woman in the comics and has been the feature character or part of a superhero team across a number of different comic series. At times, she has even taken on the codename Wolverine (but only while Logan was missing and feared dead). She was created by, and later escaped from, the "Weapon X" program, which had the mission of creating a clone of Logan to serve as an assassin. The only DNA sample they had of Logan was damaged and they could not recreate his Y chromosome, so they instead duplicated the X chromosome to create a female clone. The nasty Logan clone depicted as X-24 in the movie is a character created specifically for the movie and does not appear in any of the comics.

[@danielbullock1019]

The most ironic thing about Xavier and Logan's father/son relationship is Logan is MUCH older than Charles. Thanks for this one!

It's not made very clear, but apparently Logan now remembers his entire life. In the past he repeatedly gets his memory wiped in various ways so he's practically always struggling to recover his past. Now, at the end, when everything's fallen apart, he finally remembers it all. Hence the nightmares.

If there's any consolation Wolverine was almost 200 years old when he died in this movie. A very long life albeit a hard life and ending,

[@irishinnj72]

Logan was dying of Adamantium poisoning because of the fact that his healing abilities were diminished. He'd been poisoned by the Adamantium all along, but when his healing factor was stronger, it could protect him from it. Some people speculate that his powers diminished with age, others that the GMO food the Doctor created to suppress mutant genes, might have been the cause. The clone, X-24 was an imperfect clone according to director, James Mangold. He healed smaller injuries quickly, but when he was impaled on that farm equipment, he needed that injection to handle all those major wounds. They also used a much thinner coating of Adamantium on his bones, which is why the bullet was able to blow apart so much of his skull. When Charles said that he remembered what happened in Westchester. He was saying that he finally remembered that he'd had one of his seizures and killed all of the other X-Men.

[@shadowvessel]

Or James Mangold just made up the whole adamantium angle to make him sickly. This never happens in the comics.

[@mizrolist]

[@BatFan1]

Wolverine and Prof X, as well as all the X-Men are currently alive and well in the comics, but the X-Men comics have had plenty of "what if" future stories told where they meet different ends, this movie follows that tradition. The movie is very loosely adapted from a mini series called Old Man Logan, which if adapted to its fullest would have been even darker than this. In the comic Wolverine is tricked by Mysterio (from Spider-Man rogues and featured in Far from Home played Jake Gyllenhaal) into believing several of the X-Men villains are attacking the mansion, except that it's all a hallucination and Wolverine is actually attacking everyone in the mansion who are defending themselves from his berserker attack, he ends up killing basically everyone that was in the mansion which included most of the X-men and students. Once he snaps out of the hallucination and realizes what he did it pretty much broke him mentally and vowed never to pop his claws (or fight for that matter) for fear of what he might do. The movie instead replaces the Wolverine attack for Charles having a seizure killing the X-Men and presumably some humans that were in the range of his attack caused by the seizure.

1:22 Mark! Self-defense laws! Complicated! I'm stopping myself now from a long exposition! The point is: Self-Defense? Yay! Revenge? Nay! The so-called "window of opportunity" is small before an unseen line is crossed! In some states, you're only allowed to do the bare minimum effort required to save yourself, with some having a preference that you choose "flee" rather than "fight"! But others allow you to "stand your ground" such as Oklahoma. Since I always chose the "fight" option, it came as a surprise to me that it had to be put up to a vote, and then it became law! But that explains why teachers would punish me too for playground fights! "I don't care who started it! You're both disturbing the peace!" 😮

[@Paul_Allaker8450]

Patrick Stewarts performance in this was outstanding.

[@kevinlodge1975]

In the comic, William Stryker's son Jason, caused Logan to believe all the enemies of the x-men were all banding together to raid Professor X's mansion, but in reality they were the x-men, and so Logan killed them all, thinking it was the enemies. He swore to never again pop his claws, until later in the comic.

[@marauderdz]

Of course, the filmmakers used that information to mislead us when they had a horrified Charles ask Logan "What did you do???", implying that Wolverine had killed the X-Men. Those who were familiar with Old Man Logan naturally assumed he was referring to the comic incident. But in this universe, it was Charles himself who did the deed, he just couldn't remember (and Logan, wanting to alleviate his guilt, allowed Charles to incorrectly blame him) BTW, wasn't it Mysterio who created the illusion?

[@martinwarford1389]

"This family is so nice. God I hope they don't get hurt.".... 😁😆

It's Wolverine's adamantium skeleton that's killing him on the inside. Adamantium is a poisonous (& fictional) metal, but Logan has been able to handle it because of his healing factor. But now, well... Also, Logan has been in a lot of wars in his lifetime so it's no wonder he has PTSD nightmares. That & the many traumatic losses he has experienced. Both Logan & Charles Xavier have died in the comics, but they both came back to life, which is very common in superhero comics.

I haven't heard her speak since I saw the movie! 😂 There's a very cute and funny animated series of the kind in which characters aren't drawn with middle fingers and is about "The Avengers" and in one of them, they meet about 700 or so clones of Wolverine and only one of them is a girl. She gives herself a meticulous manicure only to have it spoiled when her claws pop out! She's upset at first, but then calms down as applies nail polish to them! 😅😂 "CBS" once had a medical comedy series titled "E/R" and "NBC" once had a medical drama series of the same name. (The logo in the opening titles changed to use every form of punctuation for it to avoid legal problems with "CBS".) Actor Eric LaSalle was in the drama series one. One of his costars is the actress that plays Hawkeye's wife as well as "Velma"! George Clooney was also in it and he went on to be a "Batman"! The "NBC" show was on Thursdays as was "Friends"! So in one night we had to familes with the same name, "Green" or "Greene"! In "Friends" Rachel's father was a medical doctor while in "ER" Doctor Green's daughter was named "Rachel"! Supposedly it was a funny coincidence! 😅 People were confused into thinking that when two actors from "ER" appeared in "Friends" that it was a crossover, but the doctors had different names ! The commercials deliberately mislead audiences though! In "Friends" Monica's and Ross's father was played by Elliot Gould who was the star of the "CBS" sitcom "ER" thus causing more confusion! 😂 The drama Greens, the wife/mother was also a medical doctor. The actress went on to play "River Song" in "Doctor Who"! In the comics "Doctor Who" also crossed over with "Star Trek: The Next Generation"! But anyway, thanks to the series finale of "St. Elsewhere" (another "NBC" medical drama series) the phenomenon known as "The Tommy Westphal Universe" was created! In it both "DC" and "Marvel" coexist as a shared universe or multiverse! One that also includes "Friends" and "Doctor Who"! Ergo George's "Friends" medical doctor is a doppelganger of his "Bruce Wayne/Batman"! 🤯

[@turbulentlobster]

Wolverine has always been written as someone capable of extreme, often very lethal, violence. However, mainstream comics are basically rated PG, so a lot of the not very nice things he does aren't explicitly shown - it's up to the readers' imaginations to fill in the details. Marvel did kill him off recently, and it was a fairly Big Deal. He stayed dead for several years, which is an unusually long time for comic books (where anyone can be resurrected with just an e-mail from an editor). Pretty much never see comics characters get old, unlike ones played by real-life actors. Teenaged characters can age up a bit over several decades, but by the time they get to late 20s / early 30s they stay that age forever. Sometimes though they'll write hypothetical, non-canonical stories set in the future and explore what it's like for them to get old. This movie was inspired by one of these hypotheticals, known as "Old Man Logan."

Nothing in this movie floored me as much as Wolverine needing glasses. We've seen him lose the claws, we've seen him lose the metal skeleton, we've even seen him lose his healing, but he's always been able to rely on his heightened senses and animal instincts. That's how he saved the X-Men from Mystique, that's how he managed to escape from Weapon X, and that's what made him such a tenacious survivor his whole life whether he was fighting all those wars, or just knowing when to be in the right place at the right time in his life. Now in this movie, he's the last to realize everything regarding the young mutants who need him, he never uses his senses the way he used to or he'd have smelled those idiotic carjackers a mile away even while hungover, and now even his superhuman eyesight doesn't work. I know he was aging and suffering from metal poisoning and Transigen's experiments messed with his powers and he had trouble sleeping pretty much his whole life before this movie, but seeing Wolverine, the immortal warrior hero and veteran X-Man, in those drugstore reading glasses with the price tag dangling from the side, that was when it really hit me just how sick he really was and how he'd never be in his prime the way I'd seen him over the last ten years.

At the time, this was the 9th time Hugh Jackman had played Wolverine & he felt there was a limit how long he could play the role. The Wolverine being good, having the same director, Jackman felt this was a good opportunity to end on his own terms (of course he would change his mind for Deadpool3). In the comics at that time, Wolverine had been killed off (he eventually came back, they always do) & there were two variants of Wolverine active with the X-Men at the time, X-23 a female clone of Logan (Laura in the movie) & old man Logan (an Wolverine from an alt future where he was the last surviving X-Man).

I absolutely love this movie. The violence is absolutely brutal as it should be when it comes to Wolverine. What I love about it though is that it shows the affect the violence has on Logan. You see the injuries not healing you see the emotional trauma and ptsd he suffers from after a lifetime of using his ability to just fight on and on. Between the adamantium poisoning him plus they said they laced the food and water with stuff his body just starting wearing out. If his healing abilities had even been a bit more function x-24 couldn’t have stood a chance. God bless Hugh Jackman and Sir Patrick for crushing these roles. Yes they’ve reprised the roles but at the time this was supposed to be it. What an ending to these versions of these characters.

[@lapelcelery42]

Something I never hear almost anyone mention with regard to this film is that a primary character trait of Logan's is his tendency to blame himself for what happens to the people around him, especially when people hurt them to get to him. So in this film, the villain is literally him as he fights against that. It gives a perfect double meaning to his repeated "It wasn't me" as Charles dies, and ultimately his daughter saves him from his past, both by redemption and the adamantium bullet.

Like you beautifully said Logan believes he brings death and destruction wherever he goes. Having to confront what he believes is the worst part of himself as his final villian was brilliant. His last act is telling kids to run and turning his back on all that rage and animalistic tendencies he’s struggled with his entire life.

[@Gnomojo]

Jen catching the fuxking killer solo piano music in this movie. It’s a character in its own right. This is why I’m subbed.

[@futuramayeah]

jen, this movie is based off of a one off comic book called Old Man Logan, that proposed what it would look like if wolverine got old

[@jacklegend5798]

You should absolutely read the "Old Man Logan" comics.

[@drb6771]

This made me cry so hard!! 😭😭😭😭

[@NatureandWildlife1978]

It is one of the greatest films of all time in my view, they released this film in black and white is well , bring on Logans return in Deadpool and Wolverine

[@JakkFrost1]

If you ever plan to watch this again, you might be interested to know there's a black and white cut of the movie, known as Logan "Noir". It really enhances the movie, giving it that old Western feel of the aging gunslinger going on one last ride.

[@bradleymcavoy3432]

Laura quotes from Shane which is one of the greatest westerns of all Time and I Lose my shit when she speaks that monologue! 😢 Yeah it is Dark and Sad yet I still think it is one of the best Action (Super Hero/Anti-Hero Sci-Fi?!?) movies of all Time! 😎

[@andrewrawlings5220]

Logan is still around in the comics (despite having died a few times). So is Laura and she is 'Wolverine' at the moment. Logan is too popular to stay dead but when he does die (in a way that people believe will stick) it is usually, like in this movie, only after he loses the ability to heal.

[@Whalewraith]

The comics don't really know what they are doing anymore. For the 1st 35 years they all sort of built on what had gone before. Unfortunately now they just do whatever they want, everyone gets killed when they need a sales boost. Then a few years later they bring it all back around with a soft reboot. Logan was dead for a few years ( he got a vat of boiling liquid adamantium poored on him). Basically Marvel got mad at Fox making the X-men movies and hated advertising a property they weren't making coin on. Wanda eradicated the rest of the mutants and the powers that be thought they could make the Inhumans pick up the slack. Didn't work.

[@jessecortez9449]

The comics are a damn mess now. Both Marvel and DC. I've been a fan since the 80's and now I don't want to bother trying to keep up with the nonsense they've become.

[@alexkaen1701]

This was the best possible ending for Wolverine And only Deadpool could justify seeing him put on the claws one more time

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

In the comics theres is a story called Old Man Logan which this movie is loosely based on but its a alternate universe X-Men story

[@o0pinkdino0o]

The X-23 (Laura's) origin story in the comics is even more upsetting. Maybe one of a few comic books that actually moved me to tears. Stewart's "King Lear" performance in this is Oscar worthy as was Jackman's performance. Jackman and director Mangold took a pay cut so that they could retain creative control. One of Mangold's underrated gems is called Monsters! which people are upset because it is not an outright monster movie, but more a reflective and contemplative journey movie about human connection. And it looks incredible. One of my all time faves.

[@freddiefan1973]

Every time I see this movie, when Logan's dying and Lara calls him daddy it just hits me. IF they give us a reboot of the Wolverine character beyond the Deadpool & Wolverine movie (multivers or otherwise) they need to bring an adult Lara in (in the comics he becomes a mentor for her and eventually passes the mantle of Wolverine on to her). Dafne Keene already said she's more than willing to come back to the character if they asked

[@dracoargentum9783]

“The family is so nice, I hope nothing bad happens to them…” Marvel: Hold my beer.

[@shainewhite2781]

This movie was a great way to wrap up the Wolverine Trilogy quite nicely.

[@SketchyMcSketchington]

I’ve seen this before but this is my first time noticing- is weapon 24 supposed to look like Liev Schreiber in X-men origins? This movie goes so hard- love it! Thank you Jen!

[@TheMediaOutsiders]

You may not have connected this, but at 2:47 when Logan is looking at the business card, it says Alkali, which is also the Alkali Lake facility Logan was bonded, and seen in X-Men 2 United

[@3kycat]

I love this movie, and it have perfect ending for Logan. Now I need watch the Noir version.

[@Kheldar633]

I wouldn't say this version of Logan is closer to the comic books per-se, but it is very in-line with some of the X-Men graphic novels' portrayals of him. Also, this is a great movie to watch with the color settings on the TV turned all the way off so it's entirely in black and white. Another good movie shot in color but fun to watch in black and white is "Mad Max: Fury Road".

[@JarodMoonchild1975]

I'm no X-Men/Marvel expert, but as far as I remember, this movie is based on Marvel comics, but it's not the normal comics, but the series known as the "Old man Logan'- comics. And professor X died in X-Men 3 as well, so this was a very surprising movie, from that perspective. But it is very good though, albeit more sad than the regular X-Men movies.

[@AnthonyGonzalez-lw1ek]

😅🙂 your reaction “HOLY$h1t “ oh Jen language I love it ‼️

[@wendellwiggins3776]

You would like STONEHEARST ASYLUM *** with Kate Beckinsale, Jim Sturgess, Ben Kingsley, Michael Caine & David Thewlis (Thriller / Romantic / Twist) and definitely the long epic with Brad Pitt again "THE CURIOUS CASE of BENJAMIN BUTTON

[@justinbriley2531]

"I am the best at what I do. and what I do isnt very nice" Wolverine

[@firecat4529]

38:15 To me with his death, this also symbolizes the death of the X-Men, which makes it even more sad imo.

[@GeorgiusAgricola-pn4cr]

A totally different tone for an X-Men movie, real pathos. You get the feeling that Xavier and Logan really died, as opposed to a movie like Infinity War where you know half the human race cannot remain dead.

[@blacksheep8427]

I agree - beautiful. Such a great film.

[@HSR107]

This is the absolute best Marvel movie that 20th Century Studios made. Not just because of how graphic the action and violence are (it IS good though) but because of the human drama. EDIT: I also disagree about comic book and super-hero needing to be R-rated. They can be great from time to time, but these are children's characters and children's stories so most of them ought to be child friendly. Although, many of the g-rated movies I grew up with in the 1970's did get almost as intense as PG (and even some PG-13) rated movies today.

[@krisfrederick5001]

This is when Wolverine is finally able to take the kid gloves off of the claws so to speak. And become the animal he was always meant to be. Brilliantly and brutally. Can't wait so see the Wolverine Deadpool movie.

[@thomasripley1548]

The movie is Shane, starring Alan Ladd, and Vab Heflin..

[@biguy617]

In the comics, Pierce, is a character from the Hellfire Club or Inner Circle team that Sebastian Shaw and Emma Frost are part of. He is a cyborg not a mutant. This movie makes him part of the cyborg team from the comics known as the Reavers.

[@markcarpenter6020]

He was part of the reavers in the comics too. Back in the 80s him and lady Deathstrike were both part of the reavers.

[@THEvagabond29]

I live less than 5 miles from where they filmed this. I always hike the Sandias, but its priv property where they filmed this, it was a big lawsuit.

[@johnharrington22]

Don't cry, he comes back

[@MZ-bl6wg]

My baby is a little younger than Laura and when she says “daddy” at the end it tore my heart out. Never thought an xmen movie could be SO emotional but it’s why it’s my favorite . 💜

[@toddrohrer8680]

It’s ok we all cried

[@kingalighost1999]

Hey just wanna say love your reactions I was watching your reaction to Transporter and you said you were looking for more Jason Statham films I’d recommend Parker and Wrath Of Man very good films

Always get a ‘Leon’ feel from this film.
