LOGAN (2017) has RUINED ME * first time watching * reaction & commentary

[@godabandonedthistimeline]

My favorite behind the scenes facts about this movie are: 1. Dafne Keen had so much fun in the forest fight scene that she forgot her fight choreography and started running around laughing, which resulted in Hugh Jackman having a cuteness overload. 2. After filming the scene where Laura speaks for the first time and Logan said "SHUT THE F*CK UP" Hugh Jackman went up to Dafne's mother and said "Maria, I've got an 11-year-old and I'm just really sorry". Her mother laughed and said "Aw, don't worry, she just called you a c*nt in Spanish."

33:25 you might have missed it in the doctor scene, but the doctor speculates that he has some form of heavy metal poisoning. What heavy metal does Logan have in him? Adamantium. He’s been suffering from that poisoning ever since they laced his skeleton with adamantium, but his healing factor has kept it at bay, but as he’s gotten older his powers have begun to diminish it’s starting to catch up to him and take it’s toll.

[@williamrosmer8381]

i'd almost say it's why his powers started to diminish. it just started very slow and has been accelerating since he got it.

[@jessecortez9449]

He had adamantium poisoning but it wasn't the root cause. It was the crops. All crops, in this timeline, were genetically modified to suppress the mutant X Gene in anyone that consumed them. Thata why there were so few mutants. They got rid of them by only growing foods that did away with there mutant genes. If Logan had stopped drinking his (emotional) pain away, and maybe got natural foods, he wouldn't have been susceptible to adamantium poisoning.

[@shaung3710]

The bad guys had put a mutant suppression addative in the corn syrop which is the reason there were no new mutants and quite likely why Logans healing was getting weaker allowing him to age in the first place.

[@theGreenGoblin]

[@darthramious1639]

So a subtle backplot in this film was that the government tainted corn (and corn syrup) with something to supress the x-gene that causes mutations. It caused Charles to lose control of his powers, and Logan's healing to weaken. Because Logan's skeleton was coated with metal, he started suffering from blood poisoning, which is what was ailing him throughout the film.

[@JakkFrost1]

Yeah, only problem I had with that is that processed adamantium is indestructible once it hardens, so none of it should have been able to leach into his bloodstream.

The idea is that if it's indestructible there shouldn't be any way for it to leach into the blood because that would involve some part of it dissolving from the bone coating into the blood.

This movie has a lot of emotional meaning for me. When this movie came out my dad and me went to see it for his 60th birthday.

My dad passed away in January after a long illness, and our relationship for the last 12 months was exactly like Charles and Logan.

[@jonmercano1138]

Even Logan isn’t immune to age, it just takes a lot longer to catch up to him. It’s weakened his healing, which isn’t helped by the poisonous adamantium it’s been fighting off for years. If he didn’t have the metal he’d probably be better. Not at 100% but still better •The modified food may have also been a factor but Rice said it stopped random mutancy (hence no more mutants being born), not that it stopped already active powers. There’s no mention of Caliban or Xavier’s powers being diminished Charles is specifically suffering from dementia Caliban was in Apocalypse, played by a different actor. He was helping mutants travel in a less than legal way Logan freaked out at the business card because it said Alkali. Alkali Lake is where the Weapon X facility was Octogenarian and nonagenarian mean someone in their 80s and 90s respectively Something not explicitly said in this movie that I imagine should be true as it was in the comics: Laura only has adamantium on her claws. Her entire skeleton isn’t coated like Logan’s, because that would stunt her growth and I’d imagine they don’t want her to always be the size of a child. In the post credits of Apocalypse those guys in suits took some of Logan’s blood. Laura is the pay off to that. As are the other clone kids. They took more than just Logan’s DNA. Technically she’s a clone but it’s not that simple, so she would be closer to his child. I don’t want to place the blame on Charles, but he intentionally wasn’t taking his pills. That’s what Logan found in the seat. Sadly, it is his fault. If it’s not clear what Xavier did, on the radio after they leave the hotel, there’s a report saying the incident was similar to one in Weschester, which killed some of the X Men. He accidentally killed them with one of his seizures. This is a spin on the twist of the Old Man Logan comic this movie is loosely based on, where Logan killed the X Men because Mysterio tricked him into thinking they were a bunch of villains attacking the X Mansion. And this movie made us think something similar might’ve happened when Charles asks Logan “what did you do?” So X-24 has a weaker healing factor, as evidenced by his lack of healing presumably hours after his first fight with Logan, making him kind of dependant on that power enhancer serum. Though he’s still reselient/tolerant to pain. If it wasn’t clear enough (common mistake), Rice (the doc) is NOT Stryker’s son. He says his father was _one of_ the men who put the adamantium in Logan I really like the attention to detail of having the adamantium bullet be different from the ones in Origins. Those looked like they were made for piercing, where this one looks like it’s made for blowing a chunk off of something. Hence why this one could actually kill him. Yukio in The Wolverine: “There’s blood everywhere. You’re holding your heart in your hand.” The onion chopping ninjas are crying with me. 😭 They actually considered bringing Sabretooth back, played again by Liev Schrieber. Logan would’ve gone to him for help while they were going through Oklahoma City. But it never went past just being an idea. Prior to it being announced we were getting Wolverine in the next Deadpool movie, this was meant to he Hugh’s last time playing the character.

[@StarkRG]

What's definitely not apparent in the movie is that, at this point, Logan has regained all his memories (probably including both timelines post-First Class).

"I can't lose Charles AND Logan in one film." I was like..... well have bad news for you... xD

[@LittleGalaxyBoy]

This film is loosely based on the Old Man Logan by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven. Set within an alternate reality to the Mainline Marvel Universe, a reality where evil triumphed thanks to super-villains uniting under The Red Skull, forming together an army to defeat the heroes. The Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four all fell during these attacks with only a few surviving. The saddest part of this story is how the X-Men were defeated. It was by Wolverine himself. Logan was tricked by Mysterio (Spider-Man Villain) into believing that the school was under attack by a range of Marvel villains. Logan cut them all down trying to protect the mutant children. But the Illusion starts to break once a villain in Logan's arms says "Logan Stop Please.... Why are you doing this? you're supposed to be our friend..." It's revealed to be the young jubilee, Logan looks around to find the X-Men butchered around him. Jubilee, she looks up to Logan as a mentor feature so this moment was extremely emotional. Since this event Logan made a promise to never unleash his claws again. Who is Jubilee? She's the young Chinese-American Mutant with the yellow coat you saw in X-men X-Men: Apocalypse, along with being a background character in the original films. She was a major part of the X-Men: Animated Series (1992 to 1997) and also returns in X-Men '97 an amazing Animated Series that I highly recommend. X-Men '97 is peak X-Men content and so much better than the films, at least in my opinion. But moving back to Old Man Logan. America was then renamed Amerika and divided up into several territories ruled by a lieutenant of The Red Skull. The comic itself takes place a good few decades after the Fall of Hero's. Following an old Logan on his California farm where he's raised a family, two young kids and a lovely wife. But here's the problem. Logan lives in the territory of Hulkland overseen by the Hulk Gang. The inbred family of Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk who ride around in the Fantastic Car of the Fantastic Four. They want Logan to pay to live on their land, stuff happens and one day Logan comes home to find his family murdered by the Hulk Gang. He then goes on a mission across America to deliver a package, alongside Hawkeye who is now blind. This takes him across Amerika where we meet a few Marvel characters. Red Skull is killed by Wolverine, Logan returns back West and get's his revenge of The Hulk Gang killing all it's member's including Bruce Banner himself in a final Wolverine vs Hulk fight. Wolverine made his first appearance in The Incredible Hulk #180 (1974) so it's a fitting end for Hulk. Logan finds a baby Hulk and decides to raise him as one of his own, riding into the sunset with Baby Hulk on his back. But like I mentioned at the beginning all of this is set on an alternate reality to the mainline comics, where the characters' histories and appearances reflect those of their mainline counterparts up until the point when the villains launch an all-out attack on the heroes. An alternate timeline or possible future basically. Old Man Logan did end up living in the Mainline Marvel Universe (Earth-616) for a while after the whole Secret Wars (2015) event that saw the multiverse being destroyed and then re-born. But he would later return back to his own reality.

[@LittleGalaxyBoy]

It's worth mentioning that when this film was released, many saw it as its own isolated universe that incorporated elements from the Fox X-Men films such as featuring the same actors and references to past events. Like the comic, it was viewed as a separate universe rather than a sequel to Days of Future Past(2014) and its ending, where Logan wakes up in 2024 to find everyone alive and well in this happy future. However, the director has confirmed that Logan is a direct sequel to Days of Future Past, which ended in 2023/2024. A few years later, in 2028, Charles causes the deaths of several X-Men and some civilians, leading to the disbandment of the X-Men and Wolverine going on the run with Charles. Then in 2029 the film takes place and gives us an official ending to the Wolverine we've been following since X-Men (2000) along with Charles... Again.

[@StarkRG]

A version of Old Man Logan, much closer to the comic book version, shows up in the Marvel's Wastelanders radio drama series. There are six series, the first five of which follow a different Marvel character in a dystopian future in which Doctor Doom, Red Skull, and Baron Zemo team up to defeat nearly all the heroes and take over the world. The main characters are Star-Lord, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Wolverine, and Doom, the last one is kind of an Avengers-style team up of the others. I highly recommend looking them up and listening.

Octogenerian is 80 years old. Nonogenerian is 90. Charles is in his 90s in this movie.

[@karabearcomics]

Laura eventually became Wolverine in the comics, after one time Logan died. Comics being comics (where it's said that the afterlife has a revolving door), the original came back, and I think they're both Wolverine right now (Captain America and Spider-Man are both also ones which I believe have two different characters carrying the same mantle at the same time at the moment). Also, Laura made her debut outside of comics, in the animated series X-Men: Evolution. She was so popular there that she made it into comics, and became a major character. Marvel's competition, DC, has their own character who debuted in an animated series and became a major character, meanwhile, with Harley Quinn. It can be interesting when characters make the jump from a spin-off medium to the source material like that, and especially when they become so important to the source. As with every video of yours, I recommend the movie Imagine Me & You, as well as Zsazsa Zaturnnah.

When it comes to Logan's death, this was actually foreshadowed beautifully in "The Wolverine" when Yukio says "I see you on your back, there's blood everywhere. You're holding your heart in your hand." And here he is (kind of) on his back, covered in blood with Laura (His heart).

The interesting thing is when you watch The Wolverine there's that scene where Yukio tells Logan about his death. "I see you on your back. There's blood everywhere. You're holding your own heart in your hand." This movie recreated that. He was on his back, impaled by the tree. Blood everywhere from his wounds and those inflicted by him. Holding Laura's hand, his heart, in his own. There are many more stories to tell. This is a sad but amazing movie. Ashleigh, continue your Marvel journey.

It's worth noting this was foreshadowed in 'The Wolverine' “It’s not like I get a complete picture, more like looking through a keyhole. But I’m always right. All I can see is one part of a person’s life, their death. And I saw yours,” she says. “I see you on your back, there’s blood everywhere. You’re holding your own heart in your hand. It’s not beating Laura being his heart.

41:36 After all that, i just wanted to give Ashleigh a huge hug. 😢 When people start crying at these scenes, i tear up too. After this, you're ready for Deadpool and Wolverine... BUT, if you haven't seen the first two Deadpool movies, watch those first, of course.

Logan is surprisingly strong and emotional. It proves you can use the mutant/superhero setting to tell some quite different stories.

[@havok6280]

X24 isn't a robot. He's a clone like Laura.

[@markcarpenter6020]

Technically Lara is not a clone. Logan's DNA was damaged so one of the scientists mixed her DNA with Logan's DNA to fill in the gaps in the DNA and make Lara. She is genetically his daughter.

Great reaction Ashleigh! I'm so happy you're finally getting to these movies.....you are in for some treats! When Charles died, Logan died and Laura turned the cross to an X, all you could hear in the theater was crying and gasping (myself included.....hell those three moments still get me). On a different note, I hope you'll react to "Mr. Mom" with the late Terri Garr (and it also stars Michael Keaton......I don't think I heard you mention any movie with her yet, if you did I apologize). Many blessings to you and yours.

[@badhabits77]

They also released a black & white version of this calling it "Noir". It puts a different spin on it, it makes the movie feel more personal for me. Less gore as it were, but the score, acting, and dialog stand out better. Glad you liked it. I teared up again like many just watching you react.

[@silverlobo2135]

Greetings Ashleigh IF, I understand the timeline, this happens after he leaves in "Days of Future Past" Because of Logan's excessive drinking, his healing, reflexes, and are slowed down and limited. Technically Laura is NOT Logan biological daughter. I think the people, at the lab, injected the mutant genes of the fetuses or "test tube babies" and children they may have stolen. Laura his mostly Logan's mutant abilities with some slight modifications. In the same basic way, they turned Wade Wilson into Weapon XI, in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" Professor X has the ability to mentally find and communicate telepathically with any person and mutants in particular. This is how he was able to be "talking to Laura" for a while. Only because I saw the movie a long time ago and the shooting scene is iconic, I recognized the gunman as Jack Palance (City Slickers 1 &2, Young Guns, Tango & Cash, Sudden Fear, ATTACK!, Monte Walsh, The Hatfields and the McCoys), so the movie has the be the western classic "Shane" (1953). "Shane, Come back Shane"... "how are these trucks driving"... There is 1 rig in front and the 3 'containers' are attached to each. It also means each is not that heavy so that 1 rig can have enough power to pull all 3 at once. The rig id digitally removed in post-production. NO such thing as "auto trucks" yet... "This movie's stupid. This movie is soo dumb... Shut up!.. Shut up!" You are not the first one to say that during this scene. In the theaters, grown adults were heard said similar things and seen with tears in the eyes when the exited or the lights came up. They (We) had not "Deadpool & Wolverine" to soften the unexpected ending. Without spoilers, now you have to make it across the rest MCU films to figure out who we got to "D&W" and how it gets "resolved". Have a good weekend))

[@StevenHouse1980]

James "Logan" Howlett, Born: 1832 in 1981 he was enhanced with Adamantium covering his bones and upgrading his claws. His mutant healing factor worked well for a few decades healing the effects of metal poisoning, but it was slowly killing him. But as Yukio told him in The Wolverine(2013) "He would die with his hart in his hands." Then in this film Laura, X-23 was holding his hand as he died.

[@lucianonmarazzo436]

33:21 In one of the previous X men movies, Wolverine was injected with a metal called adamantium that covers his entire skeleton. This is why his claws are metal. Now that he's older and his healing is failing him, the metal in his body is poisoning him. That is why he is sick and dying.

[@ScottFunk-us6ro]

Nope. Logan is hundreds of years old, he couldn't age naturally. However, the US govt had poisoned the corn products so that it represses the mutant genes. Hence Logan's aging and weakening.

[@alexandremasset3511]

Thanks for your great video, I had a good laugh! you can see Logan's end scene as a toy in the Deadpool 2 movie intro, where he jokes with the light-hearted humor we know so well.

[@LeighMet]

Granted Deadpool and Wolverine may have made this all mute but this is not part of the MCU. This is long after Wolverine left the school. She is x23 first created in Xmen Evolution back in the early 2000's and added into the Marvel Universe like Harley Quinn was in the 1990's. Yeah About Losing Charles and Logan.

I'm never wrong! Logan: You're not always right. You didn't know the old man was gonna bite it. Yukio: I saw you die in a room like this with your heart in your hand! Logan: I can't leave her with those freaks and killers, Yuk. I'm the only chance she's got - but not with that thing inside me! Yukio: You're going to die, Logan! Logan: Maybe that's okay... [he cuts open his chest] Yukio: No, listen to me, Logan! No! Stop! Logan! Logan: You're not gonna want to watch this part... [Logan reaches into his chest for the device on his heart]

[@Kenichi2002]

Logans bones are covert in Adamatium. because, of his at this time, REALY high age, his self healing factor is going to weaken/vanish. So he suffers from toxication, inside his own body. His own metall skeleton is poisening him.

[@Sovreign071]

In The Wolverine, the precognitive girl tells Logan that he will die with his heart in his hand. Laura is his heart.

[@kadrae5277]

This movie took many of us on an emptional ride back in 2017. It was supposed to have been High's last film as Wolverine. DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE actually addressed this. Watch D&W. Its awesome.

[@nintenmetro]

Looking back, this movie also has a few parallels to a few shows you’re familiar with. First, there’s Stranger Things. Zander Rice kept Laura and her friends locked in a lab just like Brenner did with Jane Ives/Eleven and the other kids including you-know-who. Logan and Laura also have a bit of a dynamic like Jim Hopper and Eleven. Then there’s The Last of Us. Joel Miller was a broken man who didn’t care about Ellie at first, but over the course of their journey they became a father-daughter duo. In a similar sense, Logan was reluctant to help at first but by the end he became the father Laura had wanted. Two years before we cried for Tony in Avengers: Endgame, we cried for Logan. Other reactors who have gotten into the X-Men movies over the last 3-4 years have felt the same way. Laila Naema, Sebscreen, Natalie Gold, Mary Cherry, VKunia, Addie Counts, Alex Hefner, The Octobers, Reacts with Jax, and The Perfect Mix didn’t have a dry eye by the end of the film. I can’t wait for Kaiielle and Emme to get to this one. In Days of Future Past, the X-Men were able to avert total disaster in their original timeline and prevent the sentinels from being created. As a result, when Logan said the events of the Statue of Liberty happened a long time ago he really meant long. He’s the only one who still remembers the old timeline. However, in this new timeline, mutants are still going extinct. This time it’s not because of the Sentinels. Rather, it’s Canewood corn syrup. There have been hints shown throughout the entire movie, but it wasn’t confirmed until Zander Rice brought it up. Any food that contained Canewood corn syrup such as the drinks and cereals he mentioned would reverse the mutagen because Alkali-Transigen would embed the counteragent into the genetically modified corn. To add to that, Charles started losing control of his powers in 2028. In the process, he accidentally killed some of the X-Men. As for Logan, it’s worth remembering that he didn’t always have metal claws. The reason why he’s physically struggling is because the adamantium had been poisoning his body. His healing factor fought the effects for so long, but the metal eventually started breaking down and poisoning his blood. As a result, not only has it affected his ability to heal but it’s also made him begin to age. By the way, the name he used for the limo driver ID is his real name James Howlett. I doubt almost anyone in 2029 would be wondering about his identity and age. I also can’t forget about Laura and her friends. The nurses were all they had as family. Rice ordered to have their biological mothers killed so that no one would talk. At least the nurses had heart and were determined to save them. They didn’t see them as experiments but rather as children and living beings with full lives ahead of them. Some behind the scenes trivia: 1.) Hugh Jackman accepted a pay reduction in order to give this film an R-rating since he didn't wanna hold back on the violence this time around. 2.) Hugh would have two stunt doubles - one for Old Man Logan and one for his clone X-24. When Hugh would portray one of the two, the corresponding stunt double to the other character would step in. 3.) We’re in 2024, but this movie was made about eight years ago. The car they used for the 2024 Chrysler E8 limo that Logan was driving was actually a custom-made Chrysler 300. 4,) The water tower they used in the Juarez set wasn’t some random tower they found. They designed and built it from the ground up. The interior of the tower was even made to be modeled after Cerebro. 5.) The comics used in this movie were drawn by Joe Quesada and Dan Panosian. Director James Mangold was allowed to embed comics into the movie as long as they weren’t actual issues that Marvel published. 6.) Caliban’s power was that he could locate mutants. After he sacrificed himself, the drones that Rice used to locate the kids had some of Caliban’s tissue embedded in them. 7.) Speaking of Rice, the actor who portrayed him is Richard E. Grant. This was his first Marvel role, and eventually he got to portray Classic Loki. 8.) And finally, Dafne Keen was about 10 years old when she auditioned. She pitched in the idea to have Laura speak Spanish, and they gave her the green light. In real life, her father is British and her mother is Spanish. As someone who grew up in a Spanish speaking household, I felt that was a nice touch to her character.

[@Insaneian]

So, as they established in The Wolverine, the adamantium that's grafted onto Logan's bones is slowly poisoning him, hence why it takes him longer to heal, and as we see at the end, die. Also, this movie takes place in the future, like 2029, hence the auto-trucks and the super corn...and no mutants.

"Don't be what they made you", telling his daughter to make her choices, and love her life, was the beginning. "So...this is what it feels like", with the slight smile, like the torture was over, was one of the most touching moments I've seen. That really got the tears rolling. But taking the cross, and forming an X? Brought it all to a crescendo. All out bawling.

I think she missed it, but Charles killed all the X-Men because he couldn't control his power anymore. This is why Logan was trying to save up to buy a boat to get him away from populated areas. I think she also missed the part where they where modifying food to target the mutant genes and the mutants lost their powers, Logan had the healing power so it took longer on him. That is why he was dying because his healing wasn't working and the metal in him was slowly poisoning him.
