One X-Cellent Scene - In The Real World, People Die

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Something I REALLY shouldn't have left out of the script was that I obviously love comic books! When Logan throws them like they're trash media for children, I'm not saying he's right to do that. Just that in his own world from which these stories have been crafted, the adventures weren't fun entertainment. But from Laura's perspective, sometimes life can get so hard that we need some fun entertainment. As Charles says in that same scene, "I don't think Laura needs reminding of life's impermanance." Especially in "these uncertain times" we need some escapist entertainment to keep sane. Comics are great! Superhero action blockbusters are great escapes! Not everything needs to be dark and gritty like LOGAN. I feel silly that I didn't include all this in the video. In the past, I've talked about the violence in Logan, and even this specific scene with the comics, but those videos are very bad. So I made this one as a kind of redemption arc for myself, comparing where I was to where I am now. And I still found stuff I would change already, haha. Anyway, thanks to everyone for watching! I love the X-Men films, and I love you! ❤️

[@DagoRuiz]

7 "X-cellent" videos on 7 different channels in the last 5 minutes 🤔 What are you up to Disney?

[@adhambarbour]

I can't believe you made me cry for Logan even more, my family use to call me the wolverine because I had some what of a resembles to Hugh Jackman. And your video really made me step back from the flashy effects and see the film in a different light. Thanks big cat, I can't wait to see the D&D vid!😊

[@JohnPBartonMusic]

That was a beautiful analysis - made me think of the film in a different light. Thank you for that!

[@darrenmacqueen9884]

Anyone who is at all familiar with your content knows that you love comic books and don't think that they are just trash for kids. I think this goes without saying!

[@NerdSyncProductions]

@@darrenmacqueen9884 I hope so! I just feel like I left an entire second half of analysis on the table, haha.

[@kahlzun]

Logan is nearly 200 years old when he dies. He has seen so many comrades, lovers, friends and family die. Literally everyone he was close to in his life was dead at that time (save for Charles who later died)

[@loop5720]

Yeah, living long isn't such a good thing, there are too many problems with it rather than living happy

[@bigstunna2049]

Hes physically and mentally lived through every xmen and wolverine movie even tho the reboots changed the xmen wolverine has still retained everything

[@LightSourceTemple]

Imagine making friends knowing you will eventually see then die

[@michaelblaine6494]

The reason for it in Old Man Logan was rough,I like how it’s only briefly alluded to in the movie. Not that it’s a direct adaptation,I never understand the point of recreating something exactly anyway

[@Burner-B]

The scenes in that movie that got me the most has to be a twoparter: First when Xavier dies. The moment of emotional honesty he has when talking to X24 is allready a gutpunch, but when je then gets stabbed: first the look of elation when he X24 first reaches out ('he accepts'), then the shock of the pain, with first sadness and then acceptance: in my mind he dies thinking that was Logan, and accepting his death as a punishment he feels he deserves..... Then that scene where they bury him. And that look on Logan's face: 'I don't cry.... I don't cry.... I...DO NOT.... CRY' followed by an anger at himself for breaking, illustrating the depth of grief, the age that he stems from and how truely broken and spent he is.... So very recognisable... Those two scenes combined are the reason I havent seen it since the one time I saw it in its first week in theaters.

"Don't Be What They Made You" is one of the few quotes I'd consider for a tat; it's so poignant .

[@TheBisness]

I agree and think it was the best line in the movie.

[@dreamlandnightmare]

And it will all be thrown away if they make an X-23 sequel.

[@goji253]

@@dreamlandnightmare How can you be so out of the bloody loop? There ARE no sequels in the X-Men franchise anymore. Most likely they'll reboot the characters for the MCU.

[@dreamlandnightmare]

@@goji253 I'm not out of the loop. There has been talk that the actress who played X-23 is going to reprise the role in a solo film.

[@goji253]

@@dreamlandnightmare Yeah I know there has been...roughly a year ago. That is still pretty heavily out of the loop.

[@BurningBushProductions]

It always breaks my heart when you compare Xavier’s 2 funerals. The first, while cliché, is what a man like him deserved. Dozens of loved ones paying respect to a man who worked so hard to help people and change the world. But in Logan... he’s just buried in the woods... no grave... no masses... just a man and his his daughter mourning the best of their kind. It’s tragic.

[@NikiWonoto26]

the second/latter one is also very realistic, or most likely what will happen in our real world (reality)

[@adancingpieceofbread8109]

I honestly love the direction you're taking the channel in because it has all this substance and its not just "look at this guy talking about comics." It becomes meaningful with these analyses and I wanna say keep up the good work.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Thanks so much!

[@grahamcann1761]

I started reading comics in the '60's. Me and my friends were big into comics, some of them even became "pros" in the industry. Thing is, looking back, a lot of times when we 'talked comics', I think we were talking about life, without knowing it. Plus then I got married, and in '85 my view of the world changed, literally I suddenly cared about nuclear war (not just the card game) as I looked at the image of my first child, as yet unborn. Then a couple of years later I looked at my massive file (box) at the comic shop, and looked at my newborn, and decided it was time for me to adjust my spending. Now I go to the comic store with my kids and grand kids. And I also use the internet to see what's going on in comics. And thus I found NerdSync, and Scott. And frankly sir, even though I may have disagreed with you once or twice (probably, don't remember,) I'm still subscribed and I don't think you've ever said, done, something you need to apologize for. As always, sincerely, I really do mean it when I say, thank you so very much for all your observations, your efforts, (your singing when that's happened) and your video. I really is very much appreciated, and you're doing a great job.

[@Rhekon]

Professor X has two superpowers: getting knocked out of his chair and dying more than once. He's best at that.

[@dtinagliastudios]

Logan carrying a dying Charles out of the house and telling him “it wasn’t me, Charles, it wasn’t me” was one of the saddest scenes in any comic book movie

[@israelvaldivia9211]

The way Logan doesn’t glorify violence reminds me of Clint Eastwood’s movie Unforgiven because of how alone everyone who partakes in this type of “vigilante violence” and how completely destroyed the main characters’ lives are because of their violent past.

[@calebnavarro3518]

so this is pretty cool, cuz when I started watching your channel, I was a kid, maybe 13 or 14, and I loved all the energetic and over the top videos. but as I got older, I wanted more out of what I was watching, and your videos grew to be that. they became much deeper and more analytic, and I love the new direction this channel has taken. it is definitely BY FAR my favorite channel on youtube. thanks for being awesome, scott

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Holy cow, this is such a lovely comment! Thank you!!!

[@disanthropi]

I started watching when I was around 13 too. I've always loved Scott's videos but for a few years youtube decided to stop showing his channel to me even tho I subscribed in like 7th grade. I'm glad to be back

[@ringsaphire]

The "yellow spandex" was good because of that part it came back later in X-Men First Class, as a nice 2 time private joke

[@MadTinkerGnome]

Well those “bright and energetic” videos that you “machined out” that you look back at and aren’t happy with got me through a very bad time in my life. I know they (and KZbin’s changes and algorithm) took their toll on you, and I wish they hadn’t, and I really enjoy the current direction of NerdSync. But those videos you ‘aren’t proud of’ really helped me keep going and also reconnect me with my love of comics. Plus, thank you for all of your content.

[@BowieIsAfraid]

Something about how over the top comics are have always made me sorta like them more than I do. Logan is probably one of the best X Men films to date. Nice video man.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Thanks! And I also love me some over the top superhero shenanigans!

[@kond1]

I've always loved this movie. Your analysis of a seemingly simple scene prompted me to see the movie in a different light. Awesome video essay bro!

[@ripzaurus]

I just saw Logan for the first time just to see this video, and I like how Logan told x-23 hurting others isn't a good thing, not even when they are bad people, it still is a harmful thing that keeps haunting him in nightmares.

[@malaketh]

I first watched Logan on dvd after a really tough time. I was struggling with my mental health and got a few movies to cheer myself up. I could not make it through Logan in one sitting. I had avoided spoilers for the film so it’s bleak, depressing story hit me hard. I got to the end and realised that was the point. I appreciate this movie more than any other x-men film. I did not enjoy it, I felt empty, I cried. I felt everything an x-men movie had not. It’s my favourite movie in this franchise. It struck me on a far more emotional level than any other super hero movie.

[@peacefuldawn6823]

This has to be the best of this series I've seen. Subbed!

[@bearcahcaw]

I first saw this movie while in the peak of caring for my dying grandfather. He was a child survivor of a WW2 concentration camp and at the end he had dementia, regularly confusing me for my mum. I went to watch Logan looking for something like the last few X-Men movies - flashy escapism with characters I'd grown up watching. Instead, I came out bawling but feeling a sense of enjoyment and catharsis I'd not felt from the series prior to that. This scene was one in particular that stood out, thank you for this video and thank you for your content ♥️

[@JPFanBoy2]

I just got back from being out of the country for a year and I am binging everything I've missed from you. You're the only channel I let the ads roll on.

[@RollMeAFat1]

[@connerdearing]

For me joker isn’t even in the ball park of this film.

[@themadtitan7603]

@@connerdearing I agree, Phoenix's performance, score, and cinematography are the highlights but the writing is very unsubtle a lot of the times and just makes for an ultimately hollow thematic narrative.

I have a head cannon that all the x-men films before Logan are just twisted glamourised versions of what really happened. Like in the in universe comics. It also explains all the inconsistencies between the films.

I honestly see no shame there. So go, live your best life. Strive to make better and better art. But look fondly on your past self.

I love your channel. And this video is amazing. That being said, I hear what you're saying about not many people watching your videos as they used to although everybody definitely should. I missed a crap ton of them myself, simply because of the logo/design change. Maybe reverse it back, or (definitely) brighten it. Its colors are very muted, it doesn't pop off as much as it should and attract attention to the viewer when he's on the homepage. Just an advice which you can take or leave, I'll still be a fan, regardless. Take care, Scott and Cheers from Macedonia! • Wrote this comment before your personal note on this video and I gotta clarify: DO NOT stop the critical thinking and be another haha for views comic channel.
