Official Logan (Wolverine 3) Thread

[MartyMcFly]

I think what's helping is that a lot of us older folks (I'm 31) have been going to see summer blockbusters since we were kids. Now we're older, but still want the spectacle of those films just now dressed in a more mature tone.


That's not to say this is a blockbuster type film, it's actually the antithesis to a Summer blockbuster in many ways. But the Wolverine brand is a blockbuster brand and so allowing him to be his violent, sometimes nihilistic self was special to see

Yeah you and I are the same age so it does help we have buying power and can control that. It also helps that comic book flicks have been around for decades now and you gotta switch it up. Open them up with the storytelling. I still want to see a batman story in the vein of a true film noir or a spider man story similar to the his "no one dies" arc where he's just in costume the whole time acting on this illogical impulse to save any and everyone he can

Breh I don't blame them for that. That's a movie industry thing as a whole. Talk to any director or producer and they'll tell you studios are afraid to make r rated movies with a lot of cash behind them. It's not like it was when we were kids where T2 could not only be the most expensive movie ever made at the time and R rated. They're afraid of that. Hugh had to take a pay cut for this to be rated R. It takes a while for the tide to change and maybe it is but ultimately it's all about the box office.

I see what you're saying.

I'm just saying that they don't listen to the fans. We BEEN telling them, "We'll pay yall a shyt ton of money to see some real shyt" and Fox is like, "Nah, yall don't know what you want. You're gonna take this Xmen 3 and like it."

We BEGGED them for a true Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds had to trek through shyt and jump through hoops to get it, and the fukking studio was shocked that it was such a success. Why were they shocked? WE TOLD YALL WE WANTED IT, YOU MADE IT, WE PAID FOR IT AND ENJOYED IT, YALL MADE BANK. Listen to the fans!

So they finally made a true Wolverine like we always wanted, and what happened? Best Wolverine movie they've made.


Listen to the fans.

Just got done watching it. Good lord

Spoiler: Ending spoiler

When Laura turned the cross on its side to make an X, it got me, brehs, it got me

breh....

Spoiler

as much as i loved this movie. as much as it makes sense that THIS is how logan's story ends. i was up in that bytch like nah. nah dammit. get the fukk up out the ground and take the kids home patch.

you made it. you won. dont stop now. FIGHT THAT shyt LOGAN.

hope he finds chuck and jean in the next life.

Me and son caught it last night and the film was near-fantastic.

It kinda dragged some for me in spots but the story remained tight throughout. Make no mistake to what is seen in the trailers...action actually takes a backseat in this and it works- real talk.
For those who've questioned Xavier's true power, that hotel scene should satisfy any doubt.

Spoiler

But couples do artificial insemination and surrogate pregnancies all the time. Thats all those Mexican mothers were- a warm cac00n. If Jean is dead or just M.I.A. and unwilling or unable to bear children, conceivably in this universe they could have stolen her eggs or cloned her dna and Logans. I guess I'mstill not convinced. Why would Charles even say that? She doesn't exactly favor Logan.

Spoiler

Because Laura was behaving EXACTLY like Logan. Wolverine wasn't buying her being his daughter at first so Charles kept pressing the issue to him. For a movie that really doesn't care all that much about stuff that isn't concerning to the plot, and that clearly explains which genes Laura has, I see no reason why we should buy into a theory that needs a whole lot of "ifs" and that doesn't add anything to the plot besides a little wink to fans

Listen to the fans.

But then you have to decide what fans are you listening to? Are you willing to say kids can't come see your movie too? Are you willing to shut out a lot of that licensing and merchandise that kids eat up? Again, think about T2, an R rated movie that was marketed to kids with toys and shyt. That's not happening again lol. I'm not saying I disagree with you about the merits of letting loose but I do understand the hesitancy by big studios to do so. I completely do. And when they do it, sacrifices have to be made and it's a gamble they have to be willing to take. You couldn't do deadpool in 2000 or even 2010. It came out exactly when it should've came out. You needed a decade worth of flicks at your back to have something that different come along which also poked fun at the decade that came before it. You needed a glut of movies to make people say "okay now give me something different." Plus you can't just listen to adult fans you gotta think about kids too at times. They gotta eat just like we did as kids.

It's the same way the best games of a console can come at the end of its life cycle because so much has come before it and developers understand the hardware as well as they ever will and they can let loose. The last of us couldn't have been a PS3 game in 2006 but it could definitely be one in 2013

 

[Jplaya2023]

man this movie was the shyt, we need more rated R movies outchea

but man

Spoiler

this really is the end of this x men franchise, after 15 years and so. I waited until after the credits thinking logan was gonna send his claw through the grave Man professor X was funny in this movie and elise neal was Why she have to die man.

 

[Norrin Radd]

I wonder if the kids were put in to set up New Mutants

 

[MartyMcFly]

I don't think so. And here's why

Spoiler

McAvoy is in new mutants I think or at least he was rumored to be so it's a not this far in the future

Oh okay

 

[gluvnast]

So, apparently there IS an aftercredits scene?

NO a different kind of teaser before the movie start.

Spoiler

First and foremost, this was the best acting in a superhero movie since heath crushed buildings. Stewart, high, and the girl who played Laura were all amazing. Especially Stewart.

As for the rest of the movie. Wow. I've never had a superhero movie hit me in the feels as hard as this one. The mix of nostalgia and the tragedy they are exposed too was tough. Felt like seeing an old friend suffer. Logan looked down Right disgusting at some points. Whole time I was like "someone please give this dude some antibiotics ". Like if someon made us watch a movie where batman had cancer . Some of it was tough to watch imo but that's why it works.

When it comes to action, that movie was exactly how all the wolverine movies should be. shyt was fukking savage. I loved it. Really captured the savagery of wolverine.

The kid in me would've liked to see Logan have a real moment to connect with Laura before he died. Or that he had time with Professor X before they both died. But I feel like it was true to the feel and realism they were going for. Death isn't grand. It just happens. Whether you're ready for it or not. I think they captured that feeling. Makes me feel a little hollow inside

At the end of the day, this movie is a tragedy. The mutants lost. After all those movies they ended up damn near extinct. The old heros are broken and tired. It's really sad. All the years of fighting to only end up crushed. The youngins are a glimmer of hope.


And I'm still personally holding out hope that wolverine is alive.


Only thing I didn't like was the mess that is x men's continuity. What timeline is this? I'm hoping they just bush everything and just focus on the new mutants going forward.

About the time line.

Spoiler

It's implied that this is 10 years after DoFP. What's cool about this film is the illusion of a dystopian future when in reality, it's nothing dystopian about it aside from there's no mutants and that's in part to the sudden stop of birth and Xavier's nuclear mental attack killing a huge amount of mutants.
