Fistboy posted:Well they say the Westchester incident and that's where the X Mansion is so I'm guessing Xavier killed a ton of mutants. Also guessing that's why they're in the middle of nowhere Mexico so if he has a similar incident less people will get killed. It also explains why Logan is trying to get them a boat. He wants to keep them isolated. My only real complaint is that it ends with the wrong Johnny Cash song. I know it got used in the trailer, but come on, 'Hurt' was a perfect song to use.

themrguy posted:Didn't really like how the end of mutants was the result of an evil plot to put things in corn. I mean it basically is: The corn syrup is the vaccination. The kids were genetically engineered to be a mutant army. As Logan notes, there hasn't actually been a mutant born in 25 years.

I actually think it proves that Superhero movies (Though you could barely call LOGAN that) work better with smaller stakes rather than the world/galaxy/universe being at stake. Ultimately, this is a world where the villains have already won. You get hints at the outside world and it's not all that pretty. And the only stakes are a man and the hope for a better future for some children. Also, I'm glad the name Freddy Kruger gets remembered in 2029.

Nelson Mandingo posted:This was a really grimdark film, and I didn't like that aspect but it was very bold and felt like a real sendoff for a series that started a long time ago. I'm kind of interested to see what happens from here on out. It seems that Jackman really pushed for this to be his last outing as Wolverine (And he's been talking about that for a while), but the X-MEN continuity is so loving wild that they're bound to try and bring him back somehow. Stewart did say he was done, but then the other day he did namedrop DEADPOOL so who knows. For what it's worth I hope that's it for these characters. They've got a legitimately great grace note to go out on, let McAvoy play Xavier from now on.

I liked THE WOLVERINE quite a bit, but the third act feels like it has come from a different movie.

got any sevens posted:I'm guessing they suffered injuries in the line of their job... It kind of speaks to the approach that Mangold takes as well. You can put it all together: At some point everyone had their limbs intact until they hosed around and genetically engineered killing machines. There's no real reason to elaborate on it beyond that. Same as the 'Westchester incident'. I mean the only real information you get is from a line on the radio. There's a lot of information that just happens in the peripheral.
