I will forever be grateful to CinemaWins for telling me about this channel

[@indianajohns8943]

LOL me too. I've been watching non stop at work for days now

[@olirayner5129]

James Phillips yep same

[@Kuskoodo]

James Phillips been watching for a few months thanks to him

[@irosencrantz882]

James Phillips, I have no idea how I found this channel, but now it is one of my absolute favorites (and I am a hard to please curmudgeon).

Big facts

[@impofstpete727]

That moment when she says "Daddy" broke every guy in the theater. Whether or not you have kids, it's palpable how much pain was in that moment. He accepted her and she accepted him as well. Such an amazing film.

[@dozeregg]

Film reviews are supposed to make you cry. Mikey taught me this.

[@mojolotz]

I have not even seen the movie and i am crying.

[@papaducknips3461]

Expected Hugh Jackman and Sir Patrick Stewart to blow it out the water but when I went to see the movie I was truly blown away by Dafne Keen. She has a very bright future. Steven Merchant was also brilliant.

[@camipco]

Steven Merchant's performance in this movie is the best thing about X Men Apocalypse.

[@jimslav6973]

You did me dirty with Stairway, Mikey. Real dirty. I'm weeping about friggin Wolverine, a character I just never cared about. Well done.

[@KingSWAGGER69]

Man it always makes me cry when I think about Charles's death scene, he probably died thinking that it's Logan who killed him because he was done putting up with him.

[@kadenater123]

Doesnt he tell him it wasnt him while he was dying

[@-MrFozzy-]

I disagree...he may have been confused possibly, but I doubt he thought it was Logan

[@Politics_from]

I like to think in his final moments his powers worked just enough to let him know this wasn't Logan.

Just for the people that care about specificity like that, the "thing like cancer" that they sorta dance around and never name is pretty much definitely Adamantium poisoning. People graft metal onto bones all the time. My Mother just had surgery *completely replacing* a bone with metal. The reason only a mutant with an insane healing factor could survive having Adamantium bonded to their skeleton (beyond just, that a regular human would die from the scope of doing that all in one surgery) is because Adamantium is *poison*. It's not just the blades and the bullets. Since the day Logan was turned into Weapon X, 6 or 7 *decades* prior to this film, every minute of every hour of every day of every year Logan's body has been fighting heavy metal poisoning's older brother on steroids. IIRC there's a version of Logan in some Marvel multiverse thing who never gets the Adamantium, and he is functionally immortal. He might die... eventually. But it's gonna be after this civilization and probably the one after are nothing but dust and artifacts. It's the Adamantium that does that to *this* Logan.

[@rmsgrey]

Adamantium and genetically modified corn syrup. The stealth gene therapy to deactivate the X-gene - the thing that prevents new mutants from emerging - what does that do to existing mutants?

[@secretmedicine6011]

@@rmsgrey interesting theory on this is that a normal person has up to 70 billion cells die a day. Logan's regeneration makes his average regeneration a hell of a lot higher than that. Combine that with he has already lived twice as long as a normal person would and you could say his body has created uncountable numbers, near infinite numbers. Just like normal people can create a mutant cell here and there, Its reasonable to consider that mutants may create a 'normal' cell here and there, so in wolverines case, he may have regenerated himself out of his own power through rare creations of normal genetic cells that eventually water his power down.

[@rmsgrey]

@ddam1320 On the evidence we have, it could go either way - the Alzheimer's could be an entirely independent development, or it could be something Xavier's mutation would have kept from emerging. I don't know Caliban's usual power level, nor what his power level was at in Logan, well enough to tell whether he was at full strength or not (and Transigen did have the ability to boost mutant powers, so his being able to use his powers for them is pretty inconclusive anyway)

[@Carabas72]

@@rmsgrey Do Logan and Xavier strike you as people who would consume a lot of products contaning corn syrup?

[@rmsgrey]

@@Carabas72 Unless they grow their own food, yes. Corn syrup is used in a lot of processed foods, particularly at the budget end of the range.

[@KingOfMadCows]

Even though a lot of people have said that this isn't a comic book movie or that it's a movie for people who don't like comic book movies, a big theme in the movie is the affirmation of the importance of comic books and those stories. At first it seems like they're dismissing or making fun of comics with Logan talking about how Laura's comics are all made up childish fantasies. But then you see how much those comics mean to the Laura and the mutant kids. The kids were treated as things all their lives. The comics taught them morality and heroes, and gave them hope. When Logan tells Xavier that Eden isn't real, Xavier tells him that it's real to Laura. And regardless of whether or not Eden ever existed, the mutant kids made it real through their belief. And throughout the movie, Logan is constantly trying to get away from the image of the heroic world saving Wolverine in the comics. But in the end, he chooses to be the hero one last time to save the kids. Proving to Laura and the kids that there was truth to the stories. The old generation of X-Men may be gone, but they've inspired a new generation to carry on their dreams. In fact, Laura is literally saved by her faith in comic books. It's also a great message of hope about future generations. Even though movie was about Logan and Xavier at the end of their lives having to deal with all their disappointments and regrets. It's also about how your children don't have to carry the burden of your regret. When you're gone, you can leave your children your greatest ideals and hopes.

[@benardman2665]

KingOfMadCows perfect

[@silentandcliche]

Agreed. The only X men movie I care to see now is the continuation with Dafne Keen as the lead. How has this not happened!?

[@magortom]

I agree, to rob oneself of the full experience of any movie simply because one thinks they know a genre will forever lack substance is pure arrogance and saddening and that's a massive problem with movies now

[@immanuelwashere2]

Beautifully put, but why did you have to word it in a way that made me cry tho? Maybe Mikey primed my tears tho ... he always makes me cry.

[@Jingles6466]

Technically it is a Comic Book movie because it's adapting a comic book

[@AnalyticalMenace]

Anyone else besides me get a good chuckle whenever Mikey yells, "JESUS CHRIST!!"? XD

[@Eggyism]

Jesus man, every Movies with Mikey pulling at the heart strings. Love it though.

[@dj2neo]

It's up again, and I'll give it the views it deserves. Again.

[@thehopeofeden597]

Dafne Keen is the hands-down best child actor I've ever seen! The only problem I have with Disney buying Fox's assets is that she might not be able to play this role again.

[@tobeornottobe5611]

My worries exactly. I was hoping we would get to see her grow through the role and watch her as long as we watched Jackman. Alas, twas not to be.

[@BlazerManiacNumber96]

I feel like having a one off performance by her elevates the status of the movie. Like how Maria Falconetti delivered probably the best performance ever then immediately retired.

[@punkrocker4life9674]

This movie is hard for me to rewatch. But goddamn, I really want to. I’ve only seen it twice, both times in theaters, and both times I’ve cried at the ending when Laura calls Logan “Dad..”

IKR! I've watched Logan exactly one time. It was absolutely brilliant! I can't bring myself to watch it again either! I really wish I could!

My name, my first name, is Logan. I'm 17 years old. I was named after THE Logan, at the time of the first film. I was at the brink of destruction. This film, meant everything to me. It gave me pride in who I am & how I came to be.

I'm happy Cinemawins told me about your channel, too. I'm so sorry you're dealing with a chronic illness, one that's debilitating, even. I have a different one, but am forced to stay home because I can't work like a normal person anymore. I wanted to say though, as someone who suffers from a chronic illness (gastroparesis), your channel helps me forget about all of that for a moment, and I couldn't be more grateful to you for that. Just, thank you, seriously, from the bottom of my heart.

[@Mu3azOsman]

This video made me cry T__T such a sad movie, and the explanation you did made me so so sad great work

[@valis_kr3]

This movie really hits close to home for me for a lot of reasons. My uncle died recently and we had to take care for the last five years or so of his life. Watching Xavier talk about cowboy movies in the same manner my father does very somber moment for me. You don't put the male fear of getting old in a summer action movie unless you're really ambitious or really talented. Taking care of family is big part of life.

[@gctypo2838]

"Much spicier breed of wackadoo" Saving that for later.

[@pallenda]

Dafne Keen.... holy cow she was great in this movie. Most of the time I think movies either give kids strange dialogue or don't direct/edit the material well... But not this time. Pretty much most of the time she is great, and the few tiny moments when it seems less real its probably more because of speeding up footage or cgi replacement. Great episode Mikey. I'm ready for all the feelings again when you do an episode on one of my favorite movie experiences ... Amelie.

[@moviedave2001]

Jackman did cameo in Apocalypse as well, not that it really matters.

[@scottmialltablet]

They damn well better not recast Logan for the MCU when the MCU finally gets the X-Men. Logan is dead. That version of Wolverine is dead. It earned that death, and recasting him - even bringing Hugh Jackman back into the role in the MCU - would take the emotional resonance of this movie away.

[@magicoA]

Agreed,I really hope they are just like “there was this guy with metal claws...but he’s dead forever” heck they could just have Deadpool say that and it’s all good.

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

See, that's how I thought about the Joker after The Dark Knight.... Then Suicide Squad came out, and Jared Leto's performance... No, I still feel Joker should have stayed dead.

[@Joe-xo4yg]

He wouldn’t. He made Logan. Wolverine made him. He gets that.

[@Joe-xo4yg]

[@layne721]

I think Disney is going to let the X-Men rest for a bit. They can play with the Fantastic Four for a while, and all the other newer MCU heroes. But make no mistake: when the X-Men do arrive in the MCU, Wolverine and all of them will be recast. I don't think it'll take anything away from this movie, or Hugh Jackman. After all, how many Batmen and Supermen and Spider-Men have we had?

[@LiraeloftheClayr]

[@ericormathias]

I cried so hard at the end when I saw this movie in theaters. I didn’t really hear about the movie at all, and was just floored emotionally by the brutal and bloody movie about pain, family and anger. Will never forget when Logan says “so this is what it feels like” and the life just disappears from him. Thank you for this and all your reviews! I hope you know your hard work is worth it!

[@apeshitcrazyman]

What i like in particular about "Logan" is how the older-wiser, yet weaker self, plays homage in contrast to the violent stronger misguided youth of his younger evil clone, the dichotomy that he was always prone to: throughout the years of torture/loss/and misery. And yet the hero prevails, after nearly 200 years of torment, to see the success of the progeny, overcoming his lifetime of pain and loss, still faithful to that end, even after surviving the demise of his ostensible Progenitor professor X, it is the greatest character arc one could maintain, to pass the torch without remorse, to the accepted daughter of their own aspirations. Most excellent channel and thoughts! Thanks for such great content my friend!
