I always just assumed Laura not speaking was because the only one she trusted was Xavier who she communicated with telepathically so there was no need to talk, but after Logan saves her and she sees how upset he is over Xavier's death she begins to trust him too

[@metallicafreak9493]

I worked in a movie theater when this was out. I asked a coworker what Laura yells at Logan when he asks her why she hasn’t spoken until now. Apparently, she says something along the lines of “You’re really mean and always angry and you yell at everyone. Why would I want to talk to you?”

[@mr.stoneface7699]

That makes a lot of sense. To Laura, Logan and Xavier aren't all that different from the people working at the lab she was part of. Logan is rude and tries to shoo Laura away, and Xavier's kindly behavior might look like a scientist's false sincerity and concern for her well-being.

[@EdwardHarley]

There's also the fact that she could communicate with Xavier through his telepathy, so she had an outlet to let her wishes be known. After he's killed she has no choice but to talk to the only other person she has around.

[@aaronthomson3639]

Honestly that was one of the reasons why I liked this movie. The biggest reason why I'm not a fan of Wolverine is because he's always hogging the spotlight over the X-Men which would be fine except for 99% of the time he's an asshole to everyone except Jean Grey or whatever girl he's crushing on at the moment. It just gets unbearable especially because the comics are now imitating it and now they have Logan be Charles Xavier's favorite while everyone is hating Cyclops despite the fact Cyclops is the first X-Man and, unlike Logan, Cyclops is actually a nice person who always does the right thing. Thankfully Logan deconstructs that and shows people actually dislike Logan and being in the right for it. Seriously, Logan ruined Laura's life and he acts like he's entitled for her to speak to him.

[@alexello1189]

funny thing was what got me the most about this movie was about how realistically dystopian the future was. The scenes that got me the most were the driverless trucks and the families water rights dispute. NC skipped over it like it was irrelevant but that is one of the most memorable scenes. ITs about how society is slowly being strangled and atomized. Seeing those soulless cargo haulers was the single most disturbing thing i saw in this movie. That and seeing that family slowly losing their water rights are far more real than all the "super x-mutant" whatever. You will own nothing, and you will be happy.

FYI, most fans think any food additive sophisticated and powerful enough to sterilize the mutants without them realizing it. Was probably the reason why Logan powers were waning and not age or the adamantium. They also suspect it was the cause of the Professors illness, as its big coincidence that both are losing their powers at the same time suddenly.

[@0g0dn0]

In Xavier’s case I think his age really is the driving factor, although I can’t imagine the tainted corn syrup was helping any. My reasoning is the timeline, his strokes took out the X-men before they could do anything about the mass poisoning. Even if they were still alive when the poisoning began, Xavier would already have to be pretty far along with his condition for the syrup to have that effect, especially if he lasted as long as Logan did.

[@CloudHiro]

Also keep in mind it really isnt possible for logan to age in the first place without his powers getting weakened. And honestly his powers doesnt even have to be weakened by a lot, as even slightly because of it constantly fighting his medal poisoning would be enough to throw the whole system into a death spiral. Aka if his factor slowing down then more of it would be focused on healing from his adamantium skeleton, which in turn would make him age as its no longer keeping him young, which in turn would weaken the healing factor further and down and down it goes. if he had the metal removed a slight weakening of his powers wouldn't be THIS big a issue.

[@lman318]

It's kinda undercut by the movie showing theyre being tracked by Holbrook and Co. It basically puts KILL US is giant letters over the family and Xavier.

[@koneheadcokehead4981]

Another Fun Fact: According to director James Mangold, allowing the movie to be R-rated was important, not so much for violent content, but for style: "For me, what was most interesting in getting the studio to okay an R-rating was something entirely different. They suddenly let go of the expectation that this film is going to play for children, and when they let go of that, you are free in a myriad of ways. The scenes can be longer. Ideas being explored in dialogue or otherwise can be more sophisticated. Storytelling pace can be more poetic, and less built like attention-span-deficit theater."

[@TabathaTMartin]

This is how i wish most directors would treat the R rating. Not just as a gimmick, but as a genuine way to expand storytelling, and not just be constrained due to wanting to appeal to adult audiences, or even more just being edgy.

[@martinadriazola2483]

Addressing the X24 argument; Logan's main struggle has always been him being weaponized. And in a future where the same people have reached the point of being able to clone their own mutants to make soldiers; Logan having a final battle with a full of rage no-conscience clone of himself, makes sense. If they decided to pull a Sabertooth surprise or Omega Red or whomever, it wouldn't work in the context of the story, without having to explain them in some sort of exposition dialogue, and it's just not worth it. It would serve only as fan service.

[@0g0dn0]

I accepted X-24 right away, for the same reason I accept most versions of Bizarro: because so many of their enemies don’t see them as heroes, as people, they see these superpowers individuals as weapons to be harnessed and mass produced.

[@chadharger9323]

More than that it's about Logan seeking redemption for everything he did not willingly. . .and willingly. In the comics he feels he is not worthy of any redemption even though he seeks it. His closest friends tells him he can be forgiven but he always pushes it away because he killed/murdered A LOT of people, deserving or not, in 125+ years. As an X-Men and Avenger(yes, in the comics he was an Avenger), he took the role of the killer when need be so no one else would become like him. His biggest fear is some young mutant becoming like him (or worse Sabertooth).

[@brandongiles7240]

@@martinadriazola2483 sure, but “the beast Logan could have become” is a role sabretooth was already made for. Using sabretooth would have fit with the themes of the movie as much as X-24. Granted, it would have been fan service, but so’s the whole movie, it’s just *also* sophisticated and mature.

[@lman318]

Again, it still feels like they easily could have done that metaphor with a villain that ISN'T a clone. I guess I shouldn't blame the movie for it 100%, given it's a pretty storied trope in comic book movies, but it's still a bit lazy.

It annoys the ever living shit out of me when someone adapts a comic book is so dismissive of the costumes they wore in the comics I know the mcu had gotten some flak for their overdeigned bs and nano bots but at least they give a modern take on a classic costume like superhero’s wear costumes you’re kinda Eliminating the purpose when you’re just having the dude just be plain boring dude. I know some changes have to be made when adapting stuff but that doesn’t mean you have to wipe your ass with comics to seem more cool the mcu may not be the same as it used to be but I’m glad that they wear costumes and aren’t dismissive of what they were like can we stop doing that

[@vetarlittorf1807]

Because the yellow suit is terrible. Wolverines are not yellow. He should be wearing either the brown and tan suit, the X-Force suit or the Ultimate X-Men suit.

[@SJ_RANKS]

@ ok regardless give him a suit with a cowl i don’t understand why it took 24 years for them to get the picture

[@vetarlittorf1807]

@@SJ_RANKS I mean, the problem with the leather suits was not that they are inaccurate, but that they are boring to look at. Later on they gave us costumes that look cool and accurate to the comics.

[@0g0dn0]

@@vetarlittorf1807 It is the fact that the X-men costumes in particular are so over the top, and studios were still pretty hesitant about comic accurate costumes, moreso when you consider the leather X-men suits followed the disaster that was Batman & Robin. Comic creators and others felt a strong need to inject some realism and borrowed dignity to offset the reputation that movie gave comics, and bright yellow is a pretty bold choice, at that.

[@0g0dn0]

One of the most compelling reasons I’ve heard given for the yellow suit is that Logan’s job on the team is threat management. Whereas a character like Batman might wear an all black costume for stealth, Wolverine’s costume is about intimidation and threat management. Not all X-men invincible regenerators, if the first fighter the enemy sees is a neon yellow killing machine with indestructible claws, they won’t be aiming at someone like Beak or Sammy the fish boy.

[@Happymali10]

It's a comic book movie where they didn't give the hero plot armor a mile thick. That alone deserves respect. Also, A LOT of what you see on screen was really there, there are very little CG environments/characters/etc.

This, Days of Future Past, and First Class are near perfect movies IMO.

[@majinsole8554]

A very real scene from this film that always gets me is the one where they’re on the road and have to stop ‘cause Charles has to use the bathroom. The struggle to transfer him to the toilet while Charles is yelling at him that he can handle certain parts on his own..the indignity Charles feels about juxtaposed with the sadness Logan feels with having to see his friend and mentor in this position…damn. It’s a small, quick scene, but the raw genuineness in it makes it hit kinda hard. ~_~

Both Deadpool movies have contained jokes aimed at Wolverine. Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) is also close friends with Hugh Jackman. Hugh Jackman would be reprising his role as Wolverine in Deadpool and Wolverine as confirmed in 2022 by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Thus, Deadpool & Wolverine was born.

[@wakeangel2001]

one thing I always wondered about X-23, she's supposed to be a clone of Wolverine, but she's a girl, meaning they...somehow acquired a sperm sample? They used his DNA to make an IVF baby that would have the same mutant ability as him (this is her origin from the X-Men Evolution cartoon as well) but the fact that she's a girl means they either went through the effort of dismantling the DNA from one of his cells so they could extract the X-chromosome from it (NOT to be confused with the X-gene) or they simply had one of his gametes...so, how? Did they hire a prostitute to do the deed and swab herself afterwards? Did they dig through his trash for old tissues? Am I thinking too hard about this? Also they used genetically engineered corn syrup to make a mutant cure? wtf?

[@0g0dn0]

The explanation given in the comics was that the DNA sample they had was damaged, leaving them unable to repair the Y chromosome. It was a choice between spending another decade or two trying to rebuild that chromosome with no guarantee of success, or go ahead with a female clone.

A First Fact: The character X-23 debuted in the X-Men: Evolution cartoon and has also appeared in Marvel Comics. Also, at one time, she took on the identity as Wolverine after the "Death of Wolverine" comic arc, until 2018 and this is the first Wolverine stand-alone movie not to feature "Wolverine" in its title, it's also the first Wolverine-centric movie where Sir Patrick Stewart played a major credited role. His appearances in the previous Wolverine movies were brief, uncredited cameos.

15:17 related to the sponsorship skit: Thanksgiving is supposed to be a holiday where one can be thankful for what they have, for living, and all the good that's happened to them. Heck, the reason it's called Thanksgiving is that the settlers where thanking their God for not all of them dying off because they did stupid stuff that got people killed, even some native American indians came in and helped them, so they were also thanking those native American indians for helping them out. Thanksgiving has more meaning than what people think about as it's not about gluttony or football or the following Black Friday, it's about coming together and thanking those who helped you and whatever keeps you living.

[@danielryanmulligan9381]

Thank you for that message.

[@Vvonter]

I feel something in hindsight that makes this movie great is that it is conclusive. Movies have become used to build up to the next and next sequel. So, it's nice this one having closure even if its ties with the other movies is more symbolical than literal. I feel it also shows that perhaps you could try to do this more with long running movies, just having one at the very very end and close it. So even if there are future movies at least there's closure of some kind.

[@geardog24]

I hoping that X-24 was going to be Albert, the Terminator copy of Wolverine from the old comics. That would’ve made slightly more sense than just another clone.

[@thomasraines1396]

Interesting.

[@0g0dn0]

I have never heard of Albert in my life, so I don’t think it would have played as well outside of the core Wolverine fan base. The X-24 we got was pretty self explanatory, therefore more effective from a writing standpoint.

[@DaneelGiskard-f8d]

One of the things I loved about this movie is that what's left of natural born mutant kind faces something arguably just as bad as being hated; being brushed aside and forgotten as the world moves on without them. The Earth didn't shake, the sky didn't shatter, and the X-Men weren't killed by some god-like villain, but by a symptom of their aging mentor's decaying brain.

I totally knew he was gonna do Logan 🍿 It's even part of my guesses: X-Men: Days of Future Past 🍿 Logan 🍿 Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness 🍿 Also Logan is a phenomenal film,after finishing the movie I heard it was based on the comic "Old Man Logan" which is an awesome comic by the way 😎

[@sandreid87]

How cool the mutants were and how many popped up was how we all judged the old X-Men movies. But that was just because they weren't any better than that. That's why I love Logan so much - It's actually a great movie, so you care about the characters. You feel for them, and it's legit suspenseful. Logal shows what all the X-Men movies potentially could had been if only they were taken serious by the writers and directors, instead of being "Just a comic book-movie". Instead we got "What would you had preferred? Yellow spandex?" YES!

funnily enough, they eventually disowned the events of logan from the rest of the x-men movies by having it take place in an alternate timeline. which deadpool and wolverine kinda ignored not to mention that wolverine's death is meant to take place in the future but the fact that x-23 is in the land beyond time seems to acknowledge the fact that the events got pruned even though wolverine's death didn't.... look, it makes no sense continuity wise, but it does when you consider that even though they disowned the events, logan was still the film that originally retired wolverine.

[@hansentheman8084]

7:15 I always saw Logan as a separate universe to DoFP anyway. The way I see the movies: The first three films, The Wolverine, and Logan are one universe. First Class, alternate versions of the first three films (alternate as in there were a lot of scenes, characters, and dialogue that were different), and a mostly the same version of The Wolverine happened in a separate universe, then the timeline was changed in DoFP, leading to Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix happening. Origins Wolverine is its own universe. I haven’t seen much of New Mutants so I don’t know where I’d put it. And the Deadpool films take place in all the X-Men films, and at the same time they take place in none of them due to Wade’s fourth wall breaking. That’s how I see it.

This is exactly what Deadpool was referring to and talking about in Deadpool & Wolverine about healing factors. That's not how it works.

[@koneheadcokehead4981]

To quote the late great Norm Macdonald and something i'm sure Wolverine might be thinking about right now is “He has the disease of alcoholism. And he came to me... and he told me, and I’m the kind of guy that likes to look at the bright side of things. So I told him, I said, ‘Richie, it’s true that you have a disease and everything, but I think you got the best one.’”

It really isn't a mystery to me, they were literally copying Deadpool cos it was where the money was, if any franchise is famous for not giving a crap about continuity in exchange for what brings in the money, it's the X-men franchise.

You're spot on in regards to Laura and X-24. They represent two different sides of Logan. She's an appeal to his humanity, and 24 is a frightening, lab-grown echo of the rageful berserker he used to be. I think the way they're incorporated is perfect, and I wouldn't change a thing except... I really wish they included Liev Schreiber's Sabertooth, like they were originally going to in the draft. His scenes with Logan were easily some of the best parts of Origins, and I would've loved to see that brotherhood have some kind of satisfying conclusion in, what was supposed to be, his final film. Still adore this movie though. As someone who grew up with Hugh in this role, it's In my top 5 comic book film all timers, easily. Deadpool & Wolverine was just as fulfilling for me, though in an entirely different way. I love the fact that Hugh is clearly still having fun playing Wolverine, and I honestly want him to keep going as long as he's having a blast with it!
