LOGAN (2017) BREAKDOWN! Easter Eggs & Details You Missed | X-Men Rewatch

welcome back to new rock stars I'm Eric. Boss and this is a breakdown of 2017's. Logan the third Wolverine solo film and. perhaps the peak artistic achievement to. come out of the fox X-Men franchise this. is the 10th installment of our X-Men. Snick Snick rewatch as we go back. through all 13 of the fox X-Men and. Deadpool films ahead of Wolverine's. mutant Homecoming in Deadpool and. Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic. Universe in this video we are going to. talk about why Logan is so praised and. how despite the film ending on sacred. Holy Ground that Ryan Reynolds vowed not. to touch in tedp and Wolverine elements.

of this movie may come back in the MCU. but don't worry I will be saving all. those theories and speculation for the. danger room section at the end of the. video let's go through Logan scene by. scene to discuss why it is so great and. to point out details you might have. missed and the best way to support new. rockstars is to grab one of these Xavier. Institute Shirts by clicking the link in. the description or going to nerd riot. shop okay the film opens with nothing. special in the studio Fanfare no. prologue just a simple close-up of Logan. passed out in the back of his limo as he. rises jacked up into frame by a a group.

of thugs trying to boost the hub caps. it's like Logan is trying to die but he. is being jerked back out of the Grave. for one last fight there is just so much. great visual Exposition in these opening. seconds like that bottle of booze on the. car seat beside Logan's head the dusty. worn shoes to let us know that this suit. he is wearing just for work and him. grunting that this limo is just a lease. and then blam shotgun blast to the chest. while we saw Logan takes shots like this. in 2013's The Wolverine and even shots. to the head in X2 and Xmen Origins and. now takes forever to get back up even.

the title of the movie Logan appears. with him on the ground as if it is. struggling to get up with him or maybe. even weighing him down as we will see in. this movie a single adamantium bullet. won't even have the same effect on. Wolverine physiology as it did before. and I have to talk about how on page two. of the screenplay that was written by. Scott Frank James mangled and Michael. Green there is a screenwriters note that. I absolutely love and I cite every time. self-claimed screenwriting gurus say you. should never direct from the page here's. what it says if you're on the make for a. hyper choreographs gravity defying City.

Block destroying CG Aon this ain't your. movie in this flick people will get hurt. or killed when falls on them and. then goes on to say as for our hero with. his so-called eternal life and healing. well he's older now if you keep reading. you'll discover Logan's about to get his. ass kicked but before we get to that we. should make it clear his abilities ain't. what they were yes he's a drunk but he's. also fading on the inside adamantium. implants leeching into his system. causing chronic pain and diminished. healing hence booze as a painkiller now. James mangled himself would direct this. script so really this was written as a.

note to the rest of the crew to the. actors and to the studio as a full. Declaration of how this movie would be. different from the MCU and other X-Men. films that we were used to behind them. on this roadside are ads for Hypno and. mag fuel your fire Hypno is the energy. drink with a corn syrup that contains. the anti-mutant poison that comes back. throughout the film mag is the shipping. company that operates the driverless. semis that distribute the corn syrup and. we see in a wider shot a little bit. after this that all these are on. billboards that are LED displays which. is just a little sign showing that this. is a a near future setting and all these.

screens are advertising the conspiracy. that is killing all the mutants Logan. draws his claws but they don't extend. all the way out and one of them hardly. at all from the Deadpool and Wolverine. trailer we know how important a full MK. Snick is to the character's virility in. the fight the Thug's lug wrench hits. Logan in the. back yeah that is the Chrome dust from. where Logan warned them that they would. strip the Chrome plated lugs but in. effect it kind of makes it feel like. Logan is shattering like he's super. brittle so when the bullets start flying. he uses his body to stop bullet holes.

from going into the limo that is his. priority once he's pinned to the ground. Logan just goes berserk and he slices. the guy with the shotgun recalling that. smooth severing of the shotgun and. spilling the buck shot in the first. X-Men film but now he just wildly misses. and cuts the gunman's arm off and a. seever hand at the end of that arm. squeezes the trigger when it hits the. ground and sprays a limo with Buckshot. exactly what Logan did not want so now. he just loses it and then he snicks up. their guy's chin then he rapid stabs. another guy and behind him in this shot. you can see the one with the now severed. arm being helped up that guy is escapes.

it runs off into the van and Logan hurls. the Crowbar at his side of the. windshield and I break all this down. because despite Logan proclaiming to be. the least superheroe it actually has the. smartest fight choreography I think of. any Marvel movie I've seen like. everything has weight and consequences. it's all really well thought out so. Logan changes in this gas station. bathroom and he squeezes the bullets out. one by one of his wounds and again. compared to the bullet that just popped. out of his own forehead and X2 it just. feels like he really has to focus now. and not every bullet is going to make it. way out of its body his Chrysler limo.

has a futuristic digital display listing. his chauffeur permit under the name. James howlet showing that he has. reverted to using his birth name now. that he's living off the grid and it. sets this movie's date as December 8th. 2029 which gets confirmed on this radio. show poison water mutant it's all. connected it's 2029 why are we still. talking about mutants so James mangled. set this film in 2029 which would be. about 5 or six years after the restored. timeline ending of Days of Future Past. this movie contains nods to the Past. X-Men films but this is a future in.

which most of the X-Men were killed off. by one of Charles Xavier's psychic. seizures and several other mutants have. been gradually eradicated through. chemicals in the food and water supply. now I think we all like to think of. Logan as a story that's just not bound. directly by the continuities of the. previous films but we should remember. that James mangled pitched this movie to. be a sequel to Days of Future Past into. the Wolverine and it is informed by all. X-men movies but all those X-Men movies. kind of have a disconnected continuity. and timeline logic so really I think the. best way to look at Logan is just this. is one timeline where Logan finally.

finds peace in death like there may be. other X-Men timelines out there where. the X-Men and Wolverine live on or maybe. die out in some other battle but in this. timeline for Logan to peacefully let go. he needs to be in a world so Bleak that. he's alone once more until he meets. someone who reminds him of Rogue and he. dies knowing that there is hope for this. young woman and there is hope for mutant. kind so I think of Logan as Logan's. sacred timeline when this film was. announced many believed it would be an. adaptation of the Old Man Logan comic. story line by Mark Miller and Steve.

McNiven art by Mike dood Jr which is set. in an alternate universe. post-apocalyptic America where an agid. Wolverine and a blind Hawkeye go on a. road trip this film isn't set in as. extreme of a post-apocalypse like. there's no incestuous trailer park. warlord Hulk or a giant rotting corpse. of Hank Pim but James mangle paints a. post-apocalypse landscape that is. frighteningly reflective of our present. day like I'm more afraid of the. post-apocalypse in Logan with it. self-driving cars and tainted Food. Supplies than I am of like the camps in. Central Park in Days of Future Past.

because this is a post-apocalypse that. looks like what we're currently living. in like it's true sci-fi it's plausible. and terrifying these prom night Bros. that Logan chauffers are all drinking. that Hypno energy drink from the ad. before while it would make more sense. with them to be drinking beer they're. all drinking Hypno which is even worse. because they're like energetic these. guys all chant USA passed a line at the. Mexican border with this movie coming. out in 2017 Mangold wasn't being subtle. at all about what types of social values. would continue to fester in America in. this timeline clipped into his fall down. mirror is the ad for the Sunseeker boat.

that he saving up to buy for him and. Charles and Logan chauffeurs people at a. funeral at Greenwood Cemetery Greenwood. Cemetery is a cemetery in Brooklyn and. Marvel Comics and yes there are. headstones for Rogers and Peters but. those are just generic names people like. cap isn't dead here and that's not like. Evan Peters Logan reaches into his trunk. and Gabriella turns and runs she thinks. he's going for a gun but he's just. getting the umbrella and considering the. thugs shot Logan within seconds of. meeting him it just tells you what 2029. America feels like here her car with x23. Laura in the back seat has plates from. Chihuahua Mexico Boyd Holbrook plays.

Donald Pierce in the comics Donald. Pierce is a wealthy industrialist and. Cyborg and anti-mutant bigot whose name. came from Hawkeye Pierce and mash he. first appeared in Xmen 132 in 1980 and. was the founder of the hellfire club but. was best known as a member of the. reavers which is a name given to the. militant group in this film now in the. broader world of X-Men hobber actually. dated and was briefly engaged to. Elizabeth Olsen in 2014 but he's not. good enough for our Queen no one is. Pierce says that the road stop crime. scene looked like it was done by Freddy. Krueger or an escaped tiger and says. that one is fictional and the other is. extinct in implying that in this future.

tigers are extinct yikes Pierce says I. heard you was in Phoenix even if the. line wasn't meant this way mangle did. make the 2013 Wolverine movie where. Logan is haunted by sexy dreams of genan. gray AKA Phoenix so you know Logan hears. this line differently the business card. that Pierce hansome is for Alkali. transen where he works security transen. is the company of Dr Xander rice and it. just proves that they merged with. whatever was happening at Alkali lake at. this point in the future and Logan rors. that location fondly South of the Border. Logan now lives in an old melting plant.

the original idea was for Logan and. Charles to live in an abandoned bourbon. distillery in Kentucky and for Charles's. room to be a bourbon tank but while. location scouting they found this overt. water tank and they're like that looks. sick greeting Logan is Steven Merchant. as caliban an albino mutant who can. sense and track other mutants a younger. version of calaban appeared in 2016's. X-Men apocalypse mangled cast Merchant. largely for his immense height he's 67. which is like half a foot taller than an. already tall Hugh Jackman which just. gives the effect of making Logan look. like he's shrinking in stature he just. doesn't Tower as tall in this movie as.

he does in other X-Men movies in the. adjacent tank you can hear Charles. shouting I know that virtue to be in You. Brutus as well as I do know your outward. favor well honor is the subject of my. story this comes from William. Shakespeare's Julius Caesar act one. scene 2 and we just know that Patrick. Stewart is a Shakespeare scholar be or. not a bee as Logan enters the tank. Charles goes to reciting the Little Miss. Muffet nursery rhyme and then when he. sees Logan he says this friends I have. good news for you today it's not about. what you do it's not about your deed.

this incoherent rant seems like the kind. of sermon characters like Reverend. Striker would give in the comics but. it's also a declaration for these two. imperfect versions of these Heroes who. still are part of God's plan Charles's. top of water tower has holes worn into. the metal letting sunlight shine through. which creates a visual effect similar to. cerebro which was by design by the art. director instead of cerebro that. connects Charles to all mutants this. Dome Shields them from him Charles slips. into a psychic seizure which hits right. as Taliban has a sharp knife in his.

hands preparing dinner which is just a. little way of showing how scary it would. be to be anywhere near Charles Xavier. Logan has to fight through this seizure. using his healing abilities which would. mean he's like suffocating himself but. then like recovering from it to go right. back into Suffocation his nerve cells. would be dying but then slowly trying to. repair themselves and finally he's able. to end it with the syringe he gives. Charles these two pills how about you. blowing him to make him. safe this reminds us of their past. exchanges in first class and in Days of. Future Past excuse me I'm M Xavier don't.

yourself and I'm going to say to. you what you said to us. then on Charles's nightstand includes. the book Ulisses the 1922 James Joyce. novel that transposes the story of. adicus into modernist Pros the kind of. stream of Consciousness language which. you might see is similar to Charles's. ramblings Charles references the X-Men. film from 2000 waiting for you at the. Statue of Liberty he also links Logan's. origin in the 2000 film to to his past. in X-Men Origins the 2009 film you were.

warm kapper to a life assassin you were. a animal so assassin and animal he's. totally referencing a part of Logan's. timeline with Striker in team X that. technically was erased in Days of Future. Past but Logan still remembers it ever. since that ending of Days of Future Past. only Logan would know and Charles would. know about it by like reading Logan's. mind or by talking to him so through his. dementia Charles is remembering. histories that were erased from the. timeline of the world he's now living in.

in fact having all that knowledge might. have been something that expedited both. his and Logan's aging like who could. live with all of that so in Logan's room. he has yashida's Katana from 2013's The. Wolverine and we see the dog tag that he. received in 2009's X-Men Origins so. really as a thematic epilogue to all of. his past exploits the movie Logan is a. story that puts him up against. incarnations of himself his past as x24. and his future is x23 his ultimate goal. is to just rid the world of the entire. Wolverine curse while trying to preserve. the one good thing about that Legacy in.

Laura so that claw that jammed earlier. Logan now grabs with his hand and pulls. it all the way out to be as long as the. other two cut in his hand in the process. he has to do this to loosen it because. if you were to try to retract them when. it's jammed like this it would just stay. stuck so he has to pull it all the way. out before it can go all the way back in. kind of like a jammed car window it's. implied he has to do this every freaking. night Director of Photography John. Matthew lights the scene with a single. key light outside the dirty curtains to. cast harder Shadows on every single one. of Logan scars because having Wolverine.

have scars at all is such a huge deal. for this film and there's a really cool. effect here where in shot they shift the. exterior light from yellow to Blue to. Signal a passage of time but that blue. light matches exactly the blue light in. Charles's cerebro tank so it kind of. feels like Logan's pain is something. Charles is trying to sense like. Charles's entire Arc in this movie is to. gradually understand why Logan feels. guilty and that's something really hard. for someone with dementia to do calaban. confronts Logan on his unhealing wounds. noticing fresh puss from his knuckles.

calling out Logan for all of his. drinking and the fact that his vision is. so bad he could not read the label on. the pill bottle he just handed him. calaban reveals it is just Abu profen. which is so embarrassing for Logan but. most embarrassing calivan found in. Logan's laundry this adamantium bullet. this would be Striker adamantium bullet. from X-Men Origins meaning that Logan. still carries it from that moment on 3. Mile Island now before we remember that. bullet is supposed to just wipe Logan's. memories but now with his slower healing. Logan carries it with him as an. opportunity to possibly end things. calaban smells this bullet and he says.

something's happening to you Logan on. the inside you're sick I can smell it I. love this rather than just having. calaban sense mutant powers in kind of a. mental abstract sense he uses the. physical gesture of smelling it it's. just a really cool way to show how his. powers work Logan show for some party. girls and I love how when he opens a. limo door one of their dresses was. already stuck outside the car door. getting dirty and she was just too drunk. to notice and Logan was definitely too. drunk to care about when he helped them. in it might also be just because of his. bad eyesight because notice he's now. wearing these glasses with the tag still.

on so he meets Gabriella and Laura. played by Daphne Kean Laura aka x23 the. 23rd x23 is a female Wolverine clone who. actually originated in season 3 of X-Men. evolution the animated series that aired. on Kids WB in 2003 Keane won this part. after Millie Bobby Brown also auditioned. for it inside Gabriella's motel room. Logan sees a newspaper clip lack of. mutant births stump researchers is there. something in the water now the text of. the article is a bunch of filler. nonsense but a mutant facility crisis. kind of reminds us of the the not so. distant future post-apocalyptic film.

Children of Men but this is just. targeted at mutant specifically X2. suggested that the X Gene was passed. down through men so we're looking at a. generation where mutant males have. really been sterilized through a toxin. in the food supply that was slipped. through the corn syrup from canwood now. you could say it's only been about 5. years since dates of future pass but. that change timeline may have changed. things to a secretly Sinister timeline. where for years history had been. unfolding this way as a result of what. Nathaniel Essex had been doing since. 1983 or if it wasn't Mr Sinister in. particular maybe just in the society.

pharmaceutical companies and. agricultural companies just started to. do this decades prior and they didn't. even notice it until now beneath this. newspaper article is one of Laura's. X-Men Comics James Mangold included. these Comics as a metap fictional. reference to the fact that in 2029 X-Men. had been mythologized in the comic book. medium and he wanted those Comics to. have the same exact look and design of. real Uncanny X-Men Comics they even. commissioned Marvel writer Joe Casada. and artist Dan panosian to create 10. fake comics in the style of the bronze. era on this cover Wolverine is being.

thrown by Colossus in the iconic. fastball special move that we talked. about in X in The Last Stand and there. might be a specific reason why this. image is on this cover I'll get to it. later but with this Logan film James. mangle deconstructs the comic book. superhero film genre the same way that. Clint Eastwood did to the Western film. genre in the film Unforgiven which is an. amazing film in that movie Eastwood. plays a washed up Gunslinger who gets. dragged back onto a mission based on his. Cowboy reputation and proceeds to scare. the living out of every every one. in the movie like even Morgan Freeman is.

like I don't think I could be in this. movie anymore and really that was the. movie's deeper agenda that the whole. white hat black hat tropes just are not. true and real stories about killing are. not for the faint of heart mangled. explained quote the reality was that. like an Unforgiven when Eastwood runs. into Richard Harris who's writing these. fictional accounts of the Great Western. heroes or Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. who kind of are Twilight versions of. their own Legends I think the idea of. being a kind of celebrity or like a. sports star long past your Heyday was. really interesting for me to investigate. with this kind of world Gabriella along.

with Pierce and others seeking Logan all. call him Wolverine a lot in this movie I. think the moniker is spoken more in this. film than most other X-Men films they. say it a lot in X2 and I just think it's. surprising for this grounded story but. it is an interesting reflection of the. way Society has turned Logan into like a. legendary folk figure when Logan comes. back to the motel later he finds. Gabriella dead and her side of a text. conversation with him where she wrote. but never sent they he please kind of. like the book of moner bull and. Fellowship of the Ring where or had. scrolled they are coming and dwarvish.

before the ink dragged off the page. Pierce catches up with Logan back in. Mexico and he talks about Charles damn. saying what happened back East it's been. dead for a year yes a hint at the. Westchester incident where one of. Charles's seizures killed the X-Men and. we learned that it happened just a year. prior and that as far as the public is. concerned Charles Xavier himself was one. of the mutants who died in that when. Pierce grabs Logan's arm we see that his. cybernetic arm has leather fingerprints. with ridges on the tips which is just. such great attention detail because this. is how he would actually be able to grip. things and use things like touch screens. now you'll notice all the reavers have.

cybernetic Limbs and I wonder if the. idea was for them to be former military. who had lost limbs in war like the. extremist subplot of Iron Man 3 or maybe. with all the corn syrup in the food it. was all diabetes but the rest of the. reavers arrive with Mexican police and. Laura does not get up from finishing her. cereal and just patiently waits for the. bulkiest Reaver to come to her and then. we don't see what happens but she shows. up outside to Bow his seever head at. Pierce yes this movie was very ARR and. it's awesome they chase her inside and. we go back to Charles and notice how he. lets off the faintest smile like he's so. excited that the X-Men now might be back. inside we stay on the point of view of.

one of these reavers and the police. until the camera suddenly cranes up and. Laura pounces on one of them and goes to. town on the rest she leavs from man to. man what Daphne Keane and her. 11-year-old stunt double Nia Murphy do. so well is convey the rage and the pain. with screams and growls on every swipe. mirroring Hugh Jackman's animalistic. intensity just a reminder that for. Heroes like this every snit hurts every. time we see Laura a little girl getting. harpooned and then she pulls it out of. her chest and chops off the cable she. snicks her additional foot mounted blade. to drag herself in the dirt and then.

uses that extra blade to kick her captor. leg and neck later Charles explains that. the two sets of claws mirror the Lioness. which uses its front claws for hunting. and its back claws defensively and that. you'll notice is what Laura does here. she uses her hand claws to attack and. her foot claws only to break free I also. appreciate how in this opening fight. notice how Logan tries to leave Laura. behind multiple times like he's not at. all interested in Saving the cat Laura. has to fight to get into Logan's limo. and what she does she's shot in the arm. and then she sucks out the bullet and. notice how James mangled has smart. partly punctuated the First Act of this. film with several shots of the passing.

Train by the smelting plant so now when. Logan tries to break free of the. compound he spots the Train on the other. side of the fence and then seeing an. opportunity he charges toward it two. reavers try to slow them down but Laura. fends them off and I love how when she. stabs the one in the back two holes are. left in the glass from MC Claus Logan. veers into the SUV and uses it to absorb. the impact of the train engine as he. swerves in front of it creating one. border that pierce cannot Pierce thank. you to better help for sponsoring this. video mental health can be a hard thing. to wrap your mind around everybody has. off days but when those days start.

Charles and Logan watched the video on. Gabriella's phone where we learned. transen was experimenting on children. that they bred from test tubes saying. that their fathers were Samia geneticas. special seeds in bottles we see shots of. the serum and presumably one of these. includes the DNA that was taken from the. Lake Facility by Mr sinister's Essex.

Corporation in the post-credit scene of. X-Men apocalypse that would have been. set in 1983 and explains why the. company's called transigent Alkali. Xander Rice's father worked at Alkali. and now the two companies have just. merged now you'll notice during this. footage we see the young mut RoR playing. with a rubber ball this is the same ball. that Laura had been playing with in the. parking lot of the motel and the one. that Logan and calaban found in the. trunk also in this footage we meet Dr. Xander rice in x23 is Comic origin in. 2005 after she was first introduced an. X-Men evolution Xander rice was the son. of the scientist who worked worked on. the original Weapon X program but that. scientist was killed when Wolverine.

escaped which rice says in this movie. later I believe you knew my father on. The Weapon X Program kill him I I think. you're right but in the comics Xander. rice went on to become the surgical head. of the facility project to recreate. Weapon X and worked with Dr Sarah Kenny. who's trying to clone Wolverine and. produced a female clone but Xander. forced Sarah to be the surrogate mother. delivering the girl who became x23 and. he carried out the weapon x surgical. process to put out a Man On Her Bones. here he is played by Richard E Grant who. would go on to play class classic Loki. in season 1 of Loki in the MCU they stop.

by a gas station where there are signs. outside and stickers in the bathroom for. Hypno energy drink and Laura cracks one. of these open to take a sip now you may. wonder why doesn't the corn syrup in. this energy drink or in the cereal she. was eating earlier hurt Laura well. Xander actually explains this later in a. line of calaban unlik you she isn't pure. she wasn't made by Nature so I guess. this movie's explanation is that Laura. and the others were not naturally born. mutants they were really just genetic. experiments using mutant DNA also I. think the toxin just shortens mutant LIF. expands and affects their fertility. because you know if every mutant were to.

drop dead the moment they took a sip of. Hypno people would notice outside. Oklahoma City Logan recharges. Gabrielle's phone to watch the rest of. the video where some mutant kids become. suicidal and the nurses learned of a. project with the ID of x24 with Hugh. Jackman's limbs shown in a water tank. similar to the tank that Logan was in. during his procedure Gabriella refers to. a mutant refuge in Canada called Eden. obviously reference to the Garden the. Book of Genesis where life began. Gabriella recorded this in her motel. room with Laura sleeping to the. background the night they were waiting. for Logan I guess so did she also edit. all this footage into this one watchable.

video project file all on her phone I. don't know maybe 2029 had some great. video editing apps so they drive through. Oklahoma City and they stay at a hara's. casino they actually shot this at the. New Orleans Hara and dfan Keane as a. minor was not allowed to set foot inside. a casino unless escorted by Louisiana's. governor so all the shots of her in this. casino Florida had actually been shot on. a sound stage with green screens Laura. sees a little girl mannequin holding. hands with a POA mannequin considering. rice had told the nurses not to humanize. these kids this might be the first time. she has seen this gesture and recogn. izes it as a form of love and we will. see her do this during Charles's funeral.

and as Logan dies later but the next. morning Laura and Charles watch on the. TV George Stevens 1954 Western film. Shane which Charles says that he watched. at the esoldo cinema in his hometown. he's presumably referring to the long. forward esoldo and stretford Manchester. which was opened from 1936 to 1997. Patrick Stewart apparently improvised. this line so this probably was a real. memory the actor had as a boy Shane was. one of many films that influen James. Mangold along with Unforgiven the. Cowboys Paper Moon and the gauntlet and. Shane a gunslinger with the mysterious. past helps Wyoming homesteaders against.

a ruthless gang and ends up in a brutal. fight that leaves him bleeding out and. telling young Joey Joey there's no. living with a killing there's no going. back from one right or wrong it's a. brand a brand that sticks and then after. clearing all the guns from the valley. Shane trots off on his horse slowly. dying as Joey calls out to him Shane. come back these words will come back in. the final scene of this film and it's. telling that Laura has to learn Humanity. from a western film like how she learns. about heroism from X-Men Comics it's all. part of how this film elevates The Power. of Legend like at some point we stop. being people as much as we just living. on as narratives to teach the Next.

Generation how to live and I love how. when we see this final scene with Joey. and Shane you can see Charles reflected. in the TV screen because Charles Xavier. is now like part of the legend that we. are learning from Logan flips the. transion files the first one for RoR has. his Source DNA from Dominic Petro who is. the mutant Avalanche we saw a virsion of. avalanche nextmen The Last Stand and. this kid has seismic abilities the next. kid Source DNA was from Christopher. Bradley AKA bolt so this kid has the. ability to manipulate electric current. one wonders if Logan remembers this name.

as his team ex colleague played by. Dominic manahan in X-Men Origins laures. page subject x23 23 Source DNA James. howlet and her age is 132 months or 11. years but her emotional IQ is 74 to 78. months or 6 and a half years which would. explain why Laura acts immature for her. age Logan finds another Uncanny X-Men. comic in Laura's backpack which includes. an image of saon the humanoid Pteranodon. villain from the Savage land in the. X-Men comics on the other side we see. Charles Jean Gray cyclop Logan in. Colossus attending a funeral in an issue.

titled death of a mutant so here Logan. just tries to demythologize these comics. for Laura in the real world people die. and no self-promoting in a leon. can stop but Eden in this movie we. learned is a real place meaning some. actual member of the X-Men that Logan. considered to be an consulted on. these in Universe comic books to get the. word out to Young mutants everywhere to. try to make it to this Refuge now we. later see a closeup of the comic. creators that include a Jay Davis and a. j Bank but who was their. consultant from the X-Men it would have.

to be someone who was alive at the End. of Days of Future Past maybe Cyclops. maybe Hank McCoy I don't know about Hank. because that version of Beast does not. wear a leotard maybe storm or Jean or. Rogue or Kitty but I don't know if Logan. would call them maybe Bobby. Drake I'm not sure but I think the best. option would be Peter raspu and Colossus. because Peter was a known doodler and. Colossus is on both of these covers one. of them tossing Wolverine in the fast. ball special as if it's like a clue to. say Wolverine let me throw you North to. our sanctuary but a crazier Theory could. be a version of Wade Wilson consulted on.

these Comics I'll save that theory for. the danger room in a bar there's a TV ad. for canwood which is another company. that's part of the poisoned corn syrup. Pipeline and the word canwood appears on. shipping containers towed by mag. self-driving semis will Monson later. explains how can wood took over American. sugar production Shing they cloned up. super those drinks that everyone's. having when Logan gets back to the hotel. the reavers are already there and boom. Another psychic seizure to show his. struggle as he moves down the hallway. Hugh Jackman had two crew guys. restraining with ropes as he passes the. Reaver in the doorway the guy's eyes.

slowly turn to look at him which is just. another reminder that all these people. are suffocating but Logan takes. advantage of this to kill all the. reavers in the room he stabs one guy. through the head and the impact causes. the door lock to swing out every moment. of this movie Just crafted with detail I. love that Logan needed Laura's. regeneration ability too though her. resistance to the seizure allows her to. crawl forward with the syringe and hands. it off to Logan it's clear why Charles. was categorized as a wmd he weeps as he. apologizes to everyone he passes in a. little detail on the fire engines roll. up are these spinny LED displays on the. front which could just be to Signal.

drivers in 2029 or maybe as an indicator. that these engines are self-driving. because we see lots more self-driving. trucks on the highway on the truck radio. we hear about a Westchester incident. many are noting a similarity to the. Westchester incident and took the lives. of seven mutants including several of. the so Charles killed seven mutants at. the X mansion with one of his seizures. Logan and calaban said that they had. been living off the grid for a year and. Logan told Pierce that Charles was dead. so the public record is probably that. one of those seven was Charles and maybe. they consider Logan to be another one. because Logan is living off the grid.

under the name James howlet so if not. all of the seven mutants who were killed. were X-Men based on the wording of this. several would mean at least five so. there would be three other X-Men who. died so those three would include either. Cyclops or storm Gan gray Rogue Iceman. Colossus Shadow cat or beast just again. based on who was at the x- mansion in. the Days of Future Past ending whoever. else of the X-Men didn't die in the. seizure were probably the ones in Eden. in Canada I'm just thinking it would. have been Jean Gray because she's also a. super powerful psychic Omega Level. mutant maybe storm and then Colossus. would still be alive and that those. three would be working maybe with a.

Canadian Alpha flight mutant group so. Auto semis from mag and canwood run them. off the road these trucks slow down for. no one so when the horses get out of the. trailer they all nearly turn into meat. Charles uses his psychic powers to guide. the horses back to the trailer and we. meet will Katherine and Nate Munson. Logan introduces himself as James his. daughter Laura and his father chuck with. the mson family Logan experiences a. pleasant family dinner that I don't. think we've ever seen him get to have. Logan hints that Chuck used to run a. school it was a kind of special need. school um he was there too after dinner.

Nate lets Laura listen to his music. player which plays Rory's Devil's. whisper which includes the lyric you. better run run from the devil which we. could see as a warning to all these. characters that the devil is coming to. this house Logan and will go to the. neighboring canwood property to fix the. water pump and the new owners threaten. them one I have a lawyer now. two three this scene functions as a. contrast to the opening scene whereas. Logan then could not control his rage. and here he just takes the shotgun and. snaps it in half Logan is lit with just. a single light source the TRU headlights.

which accentuates the scars on his arms. and shoulders and it seems like Logan's. soul is healing now he has taken steps. toward family and responsibility is. suddenly important to him and he doesn't. want to leave a bigger mess for the. msons but all this is just a false. Victory to set up the most tragic moment. of the film back in the bedroom Charles. says that this was the most perfect. night he had had in a long time but he. doesn't deserve. it I think I finally understand you. Patrick Stewart's performance is. incredible he recalls a Westchester. memory like it's a first time he learned. of this but the tragedy of this Clarity.

is that he finally found some empathy. with Logan's pain but it's not Logan. he's talking to. Logan it's Logan's adult clone x24 and. he snicks his claws into Charles's chest. and the audience knows that this isn't. Logan just by how cleanly and. efficiently his claws come out this time. a Wolverine's claws are always their. most distinguishing asset Charles made. this confession to someone who is not. Logan the real Logan never gets to hear. Charles say this Charles for this moment. at least before Logan later says it. wasn't me me believes his caretaker. suddenly murdered him now you'll notice.

x24 wears a dark tank top whereas Logan. wears a white one classic black hat. white hat Western Trope x24 kills the. boy Nate and Catherine and then attacks. will just making it a brutal murder of. an innocent Midwestern family in a. farmhouse in a Marvel movie this shot of. x24 coming down the stairs and passing. Logan is perhaps the most complex VFX. shot of the film but there were actually. several shots of old Logan where a. digital render by image engine was. mapped over him in this shot Logan stunt. double served as a stand in for the. plate and then walked down the stairs. past H Jackman image engine then placed.

a 3D render of Jackman's face over the. standin and you know what the blend. really holds up but it does result in. x24 expression looking robotic and. unchanging yet that works perfectly. because he's supposed to be a heartless. mechanical Terminator type assassin even. the music evokes the synth score from. the Terminator. film so Xander rice explains that they. struggled with the x23 is assuming that.

they could raise children without a. conscience but you can't nurture rage. you simply design it from scratch it is. such an evil concept but it might be one. of the most hopeful sentiments in the. film rice is saying that it's the nature. of children to seek goodness and empathy. from the world and if you raise them. right they won't ever have to discover. cruelty cruelty rice suggests is a. man-made invention when adults lower. themselves to see human life as. Expendable on the path to power Logan's. earlier scuffle with Carl and the. canwood boys gives them out here as they. confront and stall x24 while Charles.

reminds Logan of their boat the. Sunseeker caliban uses this scramble to. grab some of the grenades and turn the. table on Pierce for trying to use light. to burn and torture him be wear the. light will mson saves Logan from x24 by. running him over and pumping him with. shotgun blasts but turns the gun on. Logan squeezes the trigger but the gun. is empty and he drops dead because from. this Farmer's perspective both of these. guys are monsters and you can think of. it this way that he's trying to give. Logan the death he desperately wants but. he cannot do it Logan buries Charles by.

a pond and tries to say some nice words. water. and he's got water he's trying to tell. Charles that even though he couldn't get. them to their Sunseeker boats he did. give him a view of the water Logan. passes out and wakes up at a family. health clinic seeing blue and yellow. fish dangling over his head the X-Men. colors so after dreaming of retiring on. a boat with the leader of the X-Men. Logan now finds himself drowning in a. current that is Flowing north towards. some maybe imaginary Eden run by former. X-Men Laura had driven him here and when. she returns to the car she removes the.

bag she had been sitting on as a booster. seat to see for the steering wheel. presumably she used her foot claws to. reach the pedals in the car Laura. screams at Logan in Spanish and lists. the names of her friends which are the. eer x23 kids. Jonah. Rea so let's break these down Jonah AKA. Puppeteer is the kid who can manipulate. the movements of others by forcing them. to mimic his own movements and they did. shoot a scene for this where he panes. putting a gun to his own head to get. another guy to off himself in the Marvel. comic series an inhuman name Puppeteer. Gideon AKA lizard boy has reptilian.

characteristics and might have the DNA. of Viper or anol Rebecca is an empath. Delila has ice breath maybe the DNA of. Bobby Drake RoR is the leader of the. group The Avalanche clone who got his. DNA from Dominic Petro that we talked. about before in the comics rtor was from. the 80s New Mutants and xforce comics. and romantically gets involved with. chatter star the other kids in the group. include Bobby who's the kid with the. electric bolt Powers gotten from Chris. Bradley April Charlotte Erica and. Jamaica have the ability to manipulate. plant life Jackson can adapt to weather. or environmental conditions and I wonder. if his DNA came from Aurora Monroe Joey. is telekinetic and so is Julie maybe.

they both got their DNA from Gene gray. Mira can weaken and temporarily paralyze. others maybe DNA from Rogue Steven can. detect mutant Powers maybe DNA from. caliban Tamara has super strength she. later lifts Logan and Tomas has. pyrokinesis which we saw him use in the. transigent facility earlier maybe DNA. from pyro Logan's condition worsen so. Laura drives the rest of the way to a. rocky Outpost that actually matches the. terrain of the canyon that led to Eden. in her comic book we see a lookout post. to the top these coordinates actually do. take you to a private Forum in North. Dakota by the way Logan's mind is blown.

seeing this though the comics were real. Logan passes out and tomarrow hoists. them up the cliff his rise in frame. matches the upward jerks he rose with in. the opening shot of the film every time. he wants to die he's just lifted back up. to life Logan suffers a nightmare and. wakes up to Laura like how he woke up. from a nightmare to see Rogue in the. first film Laura finds his adamantium. bullet this a long time ago I kept his a. reminder of what I am what he is a. weapon made out of adamantium something. that can only destroy Logan wakes up to. find the x23 kids trimmed his beard to. give him a classic Wolverine mutton shop.

look though he doesn't want it they are. turning him back into the hero from. their X-Men Comics later Logan tells. Laura your friends they seem nice kind. of reminds me of yeah he said to that. these kids could be the next generation. of X-Men they do share literal DNA with. them RoR radios North across the border. and we hear a female voice respond. satellites are blind your Asylum. approved so whose voice is this could be. storm or Jean Gray or Rogue or Kitty. Pride or maybe versions of Jubilee or. Mirage who were in the school in x2 in.

The Last Stand could be someone like. Emma Frost I detected a bit of an accent. so I think it's Aur Monroe storm because. she also said satellites are blind. during those times which makes me think. she's more attuned to atmospheric. conditions and weather patterns now one. would think the reavers wouldn't care. about crossing a remote border to chase. these kids for a mile or two but it. suggests that these borderlines are. patrolled by like Canadian drones the. Canadian government maybe transen would. be risking a serious International. treaty between the United States and. Canada over like runaway mutants I. assume it's a delicate political treaty. because otherwise any of those X-Men or.

Alpha flight members in Eden would. totally swoop in to help the kids before. they got to the Border seeing that rice. and Pierce's forces have tracked the. kids with drones Logan chases North. after them he injects himself with all. of the healing serum knowing that he is. going to die these kids try to fend off. the ravers we see Delilah freezing the. guy's arm off Jamaica stabs them with. twigs and uses them to rip one apart but. Daddy shows them all how it's done in a. long tracking shot Logan Sprints filling. his body with bullet holes it ends with. a leap pinning a guy against a tree you. can actually see footage of Hugh Jackman. in the audio a dubbing Booth running in. place to make these grunts so that he. sounds out of.

breath like the limo that he wanted to. protect before now his limo is Laura he. uses his body as a bullet shield and. then she uses his back as a ramp to leap. and kill a Reaver Xander rice shows up. confirming their conspiracy to kill off. mutants via the food supply but Logan. just shoots rice through the neck before. he can finish a stereotypical villain. speech because Logan's conflict is not. with rice it's with his own legacy and. the script expedites the final Conflict. which is interesting because presumably. by the end of this film that whole. tainted food supply is still in place in. America that is not the battle this.

movie is fighting it's just a personal. battle for Logan Logan and x24 used. pieces of the armored truck to fight you. can see that x24 was given more of a. golden eye color perhaps to make him. look more animalistic compared to Logan. kind of like how saber-tooth had like. kitty cat eyes the telekinetic Joey. grabs Pierce and throws him down Jamaica. and the other nature girls wrap him up. with grass while Delilah freeze breaths. him and then Bobby gives him these. little zaps to help Logan RoR levels the. Earth to flip this armored truck on x24. remember this flip truck x24 stabs Logan. and drags him over to the tree and. impales him on a branch now how does.

dead wood stab through an Adam Anan rib. cage well Logan's body is deteriorating. fast and that Branch looks like it. missed the ribs Laura uses the. adamantium bullet to kill x24 but Logan. begins to tie you don't be what. they this is what it feels like and he. slips away one little detail that Hugh. Jackman conveys so well and it always. gets me when I read the script is this. stage Direction after Laura calls him. daddy on page 124 Logan looks at her. then stiffens takes a short breath and. in his eyes there's a flicker of Wonder.

a flicker of Wonder is just a sensation. that I don't imagine Hugh Jackman ever. got the chance to emote as Wolverine in. the past nine X-Men films because you. know he's the older than dirt forever. Soldier who's just seen it all but he. hasn't seen this it's not just relief. that greets him in death it's The Wonder. of a child discovering something new so. they bury Logan by a pond so Laura is. remembering how important it was for. Logan to bury Charles by water Laura. eulogizes Logan with the final word. words of 1954's Shane there's no living.

with a killing right or wrong it's a. brand but this is kind of a reversal of. Shane it's not the old man who walks out. of frame leaving the kid behind it's the. kid leaving the old man behind who in. this moment of death rediscovered. childlike Wonder Laura is now the one. with the Old Man's Burden The Wolverine. brand that sticks while cynic may call. it derivative to end a 2017 movie by. just quoting another movie Laura is a. kid with limited vocabulary and she sees. her world through metatextual simula. Crow that take the form of films and. comic books and for her her salvation.

came in reading a comic book and. believing it so why shouldn't there be. an equally revelatory truth in an old. western film that meant so much to. Grandpa during the scene you'll notice. that Bobby is holding a Wolverine action. figure it's clear that they wanted this. moment to be our goodbye for the. Wolverine character Laura rotates the. cross on Logan's grave to make it an X. to Mark Logan as one of the X-Men the. hero from her comic books what I find. interesting about this is this is not. something Logan would have wanted but. funerals are not for the Dead therefore. the living to look back at our fallen. loved ones and remember them in a way.

that helps us move forward I believe. Logan's sticking the landing so hard is. why it was difficult for audiences after. this to embrace the movie Dark Phoenix. in 2019 even though it was the earlier. era cast aside from future Deadpool. movies and retrospect this is where the. fox era X-Men franchise should have. ended this movie was so good and it. makes Wolverine's return in Deadpool and. Wolverine such an interesting creative. gamble so let's close out with what. might be the most important Danger Room. segment we've done yet feel free to stop. watching now if you don't want any. spoilers or theories or discussion for. Deadpool 3 okay so when Ryan Reynolds.

and Hugh Jackman announced a third. Deadpool film back in September 2022. they promised not to touch Wolverine's. death in this movie how is Wolverine. alive yeah after Logan Logan uh takes. place in 2029 totally separate thing. Logan died and Logan not touching that. what actually happens in our film is and. then they proceeded to improvise bits. under whams wake me up we did a video. breaking down what they actually said. via lip reading but Reynold specifically. said not touching that and take a look. at this armored truck that had been.

flipped over by RoR onto x24 this same. armored truck in the same Forest. location shows up in the Deadpool and. Wolverine trailer Deadpool may not. literally touch Logan's grave site nor. may he resurrect Logan or alter this. timeline to erace the events of the. Logan film but he will be visiting this. location we also have seen rumors that. dapne Keane will return as x23 Laura and. I'm wondering if she could be keeping. watch over Logan's grave and then just. tear apart Deadpool now Deadpool has. already parody Logan's death in Deadpool. 2 does he consider this grave site. creatively sacred I don't know but I.

could imagine a gag where Deadpool. considers this grave to be such Holy. Ground that no jokes or medling can. happen here and he's just going to take. out his rage on the TVA minemen for. desecrating his sight while he. inadvertently desecrates it further. whatever Deadpool does here in Deadpool. and Wolverine it doesn't change how. great of a film Logan is and I expect. Deadpool 3 to actually reinforce the. Logan film as the Marvel Platinum. standard lastly that theory I mentioned. could the N Universe X-Men comics in. this Logan film have been written in. consultation with Wade Wilson dead. Deadpool is a character that Logan would. call an and even Hugh Jackman. used that word in a social media post.

unlike the other X-Men Deadpool does. wear a comic accurate spandex suit but. most importantly the fact that these. Comics look like real world Bronze Age. un Kenny X-Men Comics is just an insane. coincidence and arguably a paradoxical. glitch in the reality of this film that. could really only be explained with a. meta character like Deadpool who breaks. the fourth wall and is aware that they. are all characters from comics and comic. book Cinema remember in 2009's X-Men. Origins the plan for that version of. weapon 11 was to be really an origin. story for Wade Wilson not his final form.

and that there was going to be a sequel. that would have put him in his comic. accurate costume and that is why that. X-Men Origins movie ends with his Mouse. getting torn open and him shushing us. that version of Deadpool could be the. who goes on to wear Spandex and. annoyingly survive this mutant chemical. genocide and then use Comics to help the. other X-Men guide mutant kids throughout. the country to a safe haven of Ryan. Reynolds homeland of Canada this Theory. kind of deserves to be its own video let. me know down below how you rank Logan. among all Marvel movies do you think. it's better than ingame I do please. support new rockstars with one of our.
