After credit scenes are a bit overrated even they did
gave us a Deadpool teaser trailer


I disagree. I think its about the context and the execution. Like if its leading up to introducing something cool and new then they are great.... but if its just being funny in a non-sensible manner then maybe

But I'm also a dude from the 90's that loves cool interludes and intros/outros on albums:yeshrug:

It's cool but it ain't necessary. If you do one cool if you don't then don't. Doing it for the sake of doing it is silly. To take your 90s analogy, not everyone could do skits well. Not everyone was redman or de la. If the shyt is weak then yeah. And this movie doesn't need one at all. It ends on the perfect note

This is more than a comic book movie - it's an in-depth character study, a story about relationships, old and new, fragile and complex, and a story about purpose and hope. I was not expecting to get all of that out of this movie because honestly, I've always thought Wolverine was unfairly elevated above other X-Men in both the team and solo movies. But this movie gives a really intimate look at this character, the long term consequences of what's been done to him, and how its affected him physically and psychologically. His struggle between self-preservation and caring for others is sympathetic because the movie makes it clear why caring for others is a problem for Logan. And this the most raw and vulnerable, and passionate depiction of Charles I've ever seen. I loved it.
The seizures and the effect it has on the rest of the world around him is frightening, but also very sad because we're witnessing someone with the ultimate mind control completely lose it to old age.
.

What really made this movie stand out for me though was the way the writer and director trusted the audience. There wasn't a lot of exposition and when there was, it was delivered in a believable way that moved the story along and made the movie more engaging. But most of the world-building happened in snippets through snatches of conversation and news bites. Speaking of world-building, I thought it was cool that this took place in a world where there were X-Men comics. That the real X-Men had given birth to a mythos that was largely fantasy. That was clever. Then there's the R-rating. It really added high stakes with real and grave consequences. People die, and very graphically, like they should when dealing with mutants with these kinds of abilities with amoral men chasing them.

The acting was really great. Stewart was in top form, I've never seen him give this much depth to a performance, he really went there. Holbrook was surprising effective in his turn as villain. I hope we see more of him. But it was Keen, the little girl, and Jackson who really stole the show. They both gave really believable and gripping performances. It was easy to forget they were acting.

All that being said, this wasn't a fun movie for me. I don't know if it's because the film did its job too well, but the amount of psychological and physical pain Logan endured, and the burden of the killings that fell on him and the little girl just made the whole thing a very sad affair. While there were a few comedic moments, overall, it just felt all so very heavy. But that's not a bad thing, it's actually good that I felt that much for these characters. But it also means I don't think I'll be rushing out to see this movie again anytime soon.

I give it 9 out of 10 or two thumbs up.

Oh and
about the black family....I didn't see that as a:mjpls: moment at all. I thought that was really nice to see a black farming family in a movie like this. The killing seemed necessary considering how things developed. Real world stakes. They had no idea a clone of Logan would find them. The diversity overall in this movie was actually great. At first I was a little put off by the depiction of Mexican gangbangers trying to kill Logan in cold blood, but then they made the little girl and her nurse Mexican so that was refreshing.

Question: When Charles asked Logan who did the little girl look like, was that suppose to imply that the girl is his and Jean's? She did sorta look like Jean.

I thought of the jean thing too. Obviously they didn't show us what could've happened between them but what threw it off tho is them saying they were created. If she was Logan and jeans kid she wouldn't need to be created she would've been natural mutant.

Question

Did Logan have Parkinson or was it internal lead poisoning?
I believe it was said that the adaminatum was doing it.
Also,

Xavier with dementia got to be the SCARIEST THING ON THE PLANET!
Yeah man that's a crazy thought. Imagine what happened at the casino happening worldwide! :damn:
