Wolverine had a pretty rich history taking place in Japan in the comics so it was cool that they did this in a movie

[@leonardobraynen1524]

Wished they made Hugh Jackman actually learn ninjitsu and samurai fighting man. Woulda made him a billion times cooler AND comic accurate!

[@blacky8987]

not just in japan the mf has too many good story back in his young days before the xmen

[@emanuelrodriguez9044]

This movie also has the best fight choreography in the Fox X-men film franchise in my opinion! I think overall it was a great film and I’m starting to think James Mangold is a underrated director because there has been no film he has made that I didn’t like!

In the comics, Wolverine actually lived in Japan for about a century, and he was fluent in Japanese. He also had a fling or two with Yukio, who was an assassin. She always gave him a hard time for being in love with Mariko. Regardless, I loved this movie. We needed to see him in Japan. It is a big part of who he is.

[@thedarkknight2221]

James Mangold was the perfect director for this movie and Logan. He has the best grasp of any director on who Wolverine really is, a man who feels he’s lived too long and lost too many loved ones to bear, who wants more than anything to find a sense of peace and purpose, but will drop all of that to defend or avenge the helpless. And for non comic readers, yes Logan spent a long time in Japan, in fact in the original canon Logan met Yuriko (Deathstrike from X2) in Japan and the 2 became lovers, then became mortal enemies.

[@bat8858]

it was pretty good up until the third act. It was fairly grounded and then boom a mechanized silver samurai outta nowhere pulled us out. Lots of people would've preferred a normal sized silver samurai and wolverine actually sword fighting with him but that fight was lacking. The claws getting chopped off was also unnecessary and also barely any wolverine vs ninjas in the film. We get a bit of that in the extended cut.

[@k.delpino1124]

50 years ago, Wolverine debuted in Marvel Comics from an appearance with The Incredible Hulk to a newly recruited member with the X--Men. But in 1982, his first-ever solo series by Frank Miller (300, Sin City) and Chris Claremont (1970s X-Men) defined the character of Logan. His story was set in Japan and Logan's life was likened to that of an Ronin (samurai with no master). He has the heart to stand against opposition, but is still learning/finding a direction in life. The film uses elements from the solo series and is set long after the events of X3:The Last Stand. This is Hugh Jackman's 2nd film with director James Mangold following the romantic comedy, Kate & Leopold (2001). Struggling with Jean's death, finding his place in the world and losing his healing temporarily is the most drama. The action, romance, suspense, intrigue of being a Gajin (outsider) caught in someone else's battle really feels like the comics. 2 of the antagoniss;Viper is originally human and known as Madame Hydra in the Captain America comics. Yashida in the Silver Samurai suit is based on the Silver Samurai and Ogun characters/known Wolverine villains. A really good sequel, rightfully steps ahead of and more loved than X-Men Origins:Wolverine. But both Logan & Professor X (solo/together) would soon face even greater obstacles. The evolution was not over and I personally couldn't wait to see so much more in this universe.

[@muhammadfaisal5Y5]

@magical_pixie_horse7346 In a sense, I guess. I think Yukio meant literally his heart but it didn't happen. She also said we all die eventually.

[@magical_pixie_horse7346]

@@muhammadfaisal5Y5 I'm pretty sure it was foreshadowing rather than literal

(At 5:35) I think the bear KNOWS to leave _The Wolverine_ alone.

[@jean-rochdion4898]

the scene with all the arrows in Wolverine.... it's a "😉" to the Porcupine cause it's the "Achilles' heel" of a wolverine in real life!! they have found from time to time some dead wolverines from infection of Porcupine needles.

[@csgollum]

Interesting!

[@commanderkortz3325]

You make me remember the excitement of the young fan I was, the same excitement that I now cherish. A memory of the first time i saw this movie on the cinemas with my father... Thanks

[@etthelost]

Awesome reaction! Very underrated. Thankfully I was about to find the extended cut of this which is tough to find physically.

[@robchuk4136]

What the-? JEAN??! (they both grab their drinks) This was fun A common criticism from fans was that Logan could barely cut loose in the previous action scenes, so James Mangold promised to show a less 'watered down' Wolverine for the fights this time, and he really delivered. He also promised to make up for the much maligned X-Men Origins with a better Wolverine solo movie, which is why this goes so hard! And even though his next one, "Logan", surpassed it, I haven't forgotten that this movie was awesome too.

[@leandroneri40400]

I never understood why a lot of people don't like this Wolverine movie in Japan! I know he's not one of the character's best films, but I still really like this film, along with Logan!❤

[@terogates1]

I didn’t realize till now that it’s the same director as Logan, maybe the bad taste from origins attributed to that, I think I wasn’t thrilled about it back the. But I’ve warmed up to it for sure ( I get the feeling I don’t get why people hate the marvels or she hulk and now….. people are starting to hate on the boys when what the complaints are about were the show the entire time they just weren’t paying attention)

[@MarcellousNguyen]

32:00 *Signs* In the comics, Wolverine is supposed to be the most knowledgeable person when it comes to Japanese culture. Especially since Wolverine was trained to be a samurai! Its a shame that the director decided to make him the cliche fish out of water foreigner just for laughs! 😤

[@mageeaaron2624]

Amen! 🙏🏽💪

[@endless013]

36:52 Achara's right, it's like the saying goes "If you want to get over someone you have to get under someone else".

[@jinxie712]

Just noticed the big clue of Yuriko saying she didn’t see Yashida’s death. We just took him dying at face value.

[@xxchevcheliosxxable]

“You’re holding your own heart in your hand” Hits different now

[@joegarza49]

The Wolverine is my fav Hugh Jackman movie. Plus Japan is COOL.

[@tweet5711]

the way i screamed i love these series you two are doing im loving it so much thank you

[@prathapkutty7407]

This is one of my favorite marvel movies ever! Its and underrated gem and dont understand the hate it gets.

[@Gabriel-all]

Bro, me too, I love this movie, especially the extended version

[@williammoore1980]

I believe one of Wolverine’s lesser known abilities is he can on some level commune with animals. Hence why he and the bear had a “Sup bro” moment instead of the bear murking him on sight.

[@J.L.The-runt]

36:46 You see, say Kristen is like a fire breathing turtle (Bowser), now when Achara laid down that savage comment, she took away her moisturizer (Kristen is now “Dry Bowser”) “Dayum” is right Achara…..

36:46 That Truth is Too Bitter to be said that easily.

[@66JesterDeath]

Achara is the queen 🥳quickest way to get over a women is get on another is a cold line 😂😂

[@MegaHeaf]

I love this movie, probably my favorite out of all the X-Men movies alongside the first two, First Class, and Logan. It's so sad to see that this movie is mostly forgotten by many and it deserves more attention. And can you watch the alternate ending for this movie in one of the next videos?

[@chandralalnamadevan1927]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 36:48 Imagine Achara comment with show effect jajajaja that how Kristen's react was like 🤣🤣🤣

[@blueroninstudios]

Personally, I'd've stayed with Mariko and Yukio in Japan for a lot longer. But that's just me because Tao Okamoto (Mariko) is FIIIIIIINE!!!!!! Rila Fukushima (Yukio) is badass, too. It's a shame we didn't see her in more movies after this one.

[@AkronRain69]

I luv these two doing reactions! And Kristen knowing Japanese?!? 😎👍🏾

[@Samgreen90]

(At 7:10) he had to put a kid out of it's misery, before it was finished living It's life.

[@Parkkh2239]

when you think about what Japan did to neighboring countries like China, Philippine, Korea and etc, Using nuclear weapon to stop their madness was unavoidable.

I’m here for degen Achara hours. Bless you, you dungeon loving, ex-forgetting human being.

Note the dialogue from 40:40 where she says u will die by holding ur heart in ur hand and watch logan especially climax
