@@stevenfriedman2902 It's subtle, but it's pretty easy to notice it because at one point the camera does emphasize on *SPOILERS* holding hands with *SPOILERS*
Hugh Jackman got in shape for Origins, then he was staying in shape for this, and he kept in shape for Days of Future Past, then he signed on for Logan. He spent nearly 5 years in Wolverine shape, barely eating anything more than protein. He really started to hate being Wolverine because he needed to train full time.
I enjoy this one, but my favorite of the X-men/Wolverine movies is "Logan"... It's on a different level than the rest. :) Very excited to see your thoughts on it!
imho Logan is kind of like Unforgiven. Unforgiven took all the fanciful western stuff and slapped a meaningful coat of reality paint on it. That added sooo much depth. For me, that instantly became my favorite western (not that I'm an aficionado). Likewise, Logan was a much more honest look at that genre. Slightly more revealing shots make the claw kills cringe-worthy and harder. All the actors showed the toll their backstories had taken on them. Logan is very deep and definitely my favorite among the X-men movies.
@@isaiah5820 X2 gets overlooked sometimes, but it was such a revelatory movie! Like, this is what "comic book" movies CAN be, and it was fantastic! DoFP was a great reboot to a series that had definitely taken a turn for the worse, and breathed new life into the canon. Logan was just one of the most gut-wrenching movies I've ever seen. Fantastic from start to finish, and completely unexpected! Putting that "R" rating on the film and allowing it to delve deeper into the trauma that Logan's life had become, coupled with the horror of what happens to Professor X (in all my years of X-Men comics fandom, I never considered that possibility, but oh my God is it terrifying!), and the break-out performance of Dafne Keen as well as the expected excellence of Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart, led to a movie that completely transformed the "superhero" genre, and blew me away! It was a sublime, terrifying, haunting, and beautiful movie. It's one of my favorites of all time, even though it's hard to watch too frequently!
Each of the solo Wolverine movies get better than the last one. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is awful The Wolverine great And Logan is probably one of the greatest superhero movies made.
There's a post credit scene at the end of Last Stand that explains how Charles is still alive - you see a coma patient waking up and saying "Hello Moira" in Charles' voice. Earlier in the film (or possible one of the previous ones) he is discussing in a seminar the ethics of transferring consciousness into other peoples' bodies. The post credit scene alludes that before he was ripped apart, he transferred himself into this coma patient. Why he looks no different is because the coma patient was apparently his identical twin brother, although I can't remember where I heard that bit from.
I believe we only really know that the coma patient is his brother based on context from the comics. I don't recall them ever actually addressing it directly in the films. Though it may have been clarified in interviews as well.
@@djostrander8792 As I recall, it was in the original shooting script but deleted in the editing. They even had Patrick Stewart play the body in the bed with facial hair added on.
I heard that somewhere too, but don't remember where. I had just assumed that he used his powers over people's minds to have them see him the way that they remembered him. I mean if I can influence your mind to the point of freezing you in place, or making you think that you're a six-year-old girl if you're a grown man lol, then why wouldn't I be able to have you see me in whatever way I choose? I mean he can even have people not see him at all, as demonstrated in First Class.
What it does leave unexplained is actually more important: 1 - Why is he still bald as a cue ball? 2 - (Even more inexplicable) Why is he still paralyzed? We see the origins of these traits in the other movies, and this new body didn't go through either of those. While it's possible his twin might have a genetic predisposition geriatric baldness, are we to believe his twin also has a genetic predisposition to geriatric paraplegia? Did he take another bullet to the spine? Or did he simply miss the ability to use any parking spot he wanted and is faking it all?
Fun fact! So in the comics, Logan actually knows fluent Japanese. Japan is also important to Logan's story, in the comics, as well. It's where he went, before WW2, to help calm his bestial nature, and to train in Eastern philosophies. AND he knows how to proficiently use a katana!
I would love to see an X-men prequel with Wolverine in the Far East before his admantium. I would love to see it set in the 1940s. He could have adventures like Indiana Jones but without the pesky high probability of death.
Something you should know moving forward from here in the X-men franchise is that unlike the MCU, Fox had a more “continuity shmontinuity” take on there films. They just kinda did what they think worked best for the individual films, not really caring about events that happened prior.
Yeah, it's best not to spend too much time trying to get everything to line up perfectly. Take the post credits scenes simply as a promise that another movie is coming, but don't expect a perfect set up each time. :)
To be fair, that's how a lot of franchises were, which is why the MCU blew up, nobody thought of having sperate storylines coincide in the same universe without actually being spinoffs.
He noticed the “priest” had tattoos on his arm Correct about the adamantium and constant healing, which is the problem with taking away his healing factor. It’d be an unpleasant death. His healing was only diminished, not fully negated. If it had, he definitely would’ve died a lot sooner. I mean he’d bleed out from constantly popping his claws alone It reversed because they disconnected in the middle of the transfer. It wasn’t yet permanently out of Logan and in Yashida It’s not the same body. The X3 commentary revealed that the brain dead patient he transferred his consciousness into was his twin brother You’re gonna see Logan with his metal claws again and it won’t be explained. My 2 main theories/assumptions are they got some adamantium and magneto put it on his claws, or magneto just manipulated the adamantium on the rest of his skeleton to re-cover them. Like he stretched it out
This is definitely the most underrated of the X-Men movies! I get excited that we're just getting closer and closer to Days Of Future Past, and eventually Logan.
Simple explanation: Xavier is influencing everyone to see him as he used to be. More likely answer: Fox didn't care much about continuity (especially since Last Stand was hated).
@@brianvalencia7717 They call it the Phoenix *Saga* for a reason. Silly execs trying to make it fit into a single movie. I expect them to screw it up in the MCU too.
@@thatHARVguy Yeah, Marvel has everything in place to really do it right whenever they decide to go back to that well. Dark Phoenix was a relatively small part of that whole storyline; she only actually appears as Dark Phoenix for a couple of issues, but she was the Phoenix for three or four years leading up to it.
the line she says after "i see how you die" about being on his back with his heart in his hands, is a very important line for a future movie... keep a mental note of the words she used
There's a lot of this movie I really love, especially the first 2 acts. I love watching a mortal Logan bumming around Japan, killing Yakuza. I'm not as much a fan of the 3rd act when you get the Silver Samurai stuff--but it works well enough, I suppose.
Agreed. I saw it in the theater and felt a significant drop in enjoyment when the third act hit. The extended cut is better but still has the same issue.
@@gregmcdonald8962 I kinda loved the movie, but IDK after they capture Wolverine things got kinda weird or how should I say. I would say that 1. grandpa in the armor felt weird (at least how it was executed). And 2. how fast the adimantium was cut, it felt very rushed. I know those are nitpicks, but those were the things that felt off to me. ps. Saw extended cut too, and agree, doesn't really change the last act, so it was kinda the same to me.
Yeah, I wish they'd just used the Silver Samurai from the comics. It would have added a different dimension to the story. And if they had to use grandpa fighting against Wolverine, just have him take a little bit of Wolverine's healing ability, and have him duel him in a regular duel. Make it about "honor" and "loyalty", and things like that, the way the art on the extended cut underscored. Give him an adamantium blade, to actually have some stakes. It's still a decent movie overall, but what could have been... *sigh*
Yes, Wolverine in Japan! I'll defend this film to the death. I love that Hugh Jackman actually read the Wolverine in Japan comics and wanted to adapt that. :D
The Rogue Cut honestly doesn't make much of a difference. And if anything, it decreases the stakes by not having Kitty maintaining Logan's mind in the past as she slowly bleeds to death.
It's not you Nat, as much as I like this movie(mostly because of the graphic novel that inspired it), it is a little bit convoluted in its plot delivery. As for Charles in a "new" body, it is actually a vegetative twin brother he moved his consciousness into (off camera in "X-men : the last Stand"). It is a little convenient that this new body also needs the Wheelchair. Kudos on the sponsorship. I am always impressed by what an excellent and professional spokesperson you are.
Even though I know it's a plot hole, I wonder if it wasn't similar to a situation in 'Sliders', where a guy transferred his consciousness to a new body, but he still couldn't walk because his mind hadn't adapted. Charles may have needed time to adapt to being in the new body, and 're-learn' how to walk, but with what happens in 'Days of Future Past' soon afterwards, it was time they didn't have.
@@PyramidHead316 that's plausible. My theory was that maybe because the body had been comatose essentially forever that his musculature had likely atrophied.
@@BiggestDawgEver That's a good point, and I hadn't thought of it. I was watching The Matrix a little while ago, the original one, and I remember what Morpheus said about Neo's muscles atrophying, because he was stuck in that pod for so long.
Please tell me you watched the extended cut, it's R-rated and doesn't cut out the blood, violence, and language like the normal theatrical cut does... Also, someone already said it, but make sure you watch the Rogue Cut of Days of Future Past!!
A) Yukio is awesome, and so is Rila Fukushima who plays her. B) The bath scene is completely un-Japanese. In Japan bathtubs are for relaxing, not washing. One washes oneself on a bench outside the bath (kind of a shower) but never in the tub. It is seen as "dirty" to get into a tub before you have washed. C) Yukio is awesome.
13:57 he survived the *procedure* of the adamantium being fused over his bones due to his healing factor. Once it was a part of his skeleton, it'd still hurt humans trying to punch him in the head, regardless if he could heal or not. He was also likely able to more quickly get strong enough to lug around all that weight due to the tearing/healing of muscle that happens in building strength.
To explain a LOT of things that aren't made clear between movies: 1. Xavier dies in X-Men 3, but the brain dead patient they were talking about in the Ethics class he was teaching was his twin brother. Just before death he transferred his mind into his twin's braindead body - which is the EXACT Ethics scenario they were discussing. 2. With Magneto and Xavier meeting Logan at the airport, Magneto restores Wolverine's adamantium claws. They never bother to show it. Viper - the snake woman, is also known as Madame Hydra. She's one of HYDRA's leaders. The FoX-Men universe can't include HYDRA, but they somehow managed to use this version of Viper. SO, you can sort of assume that she's there either just working for the grandfather, OR you can assume she's working for HYDRA and trying to get a hold of Wolverine's healing powers and the old man's massive stockpile of adamantium. But according to the movie she really just seems to work for the old man. Individual movies, like X2 and The Wolverine are great, but overall these movies are kind of a mess, and as a series they're a vague only semi-coherent mess that only "works" if you don't attempt to think about it. The next one, Days Of Future Past, is absolutely incoherent and terrible if you try and think about it AT ALL.
@@vetarlittorf1807 Hint: It's a new timeline that does NOTHING to fix anything, and only makes everything worse. Also, DOFP itself makes ZERO sense, regardless of the rest of the timeline. You should really go check your facts before attempting your wildly misinformed nonsense.
@@ieyke Lol. Facts? You're the one making blanket statements instead of using facts. And I AM using facts. How does DOFP make things worse? It erases the original timeline, meaning it's not relevant to the post-DOFP movies. And what exactly doesn't make sense about the movie? It has a coherent narrative, the characters are consistent and the plot is seamless. Good job embarrassing yourself...
The explanation for Xavier is in the after credits scene of X3. Earlier in the film Moira is helping Charles teach a class about mutant power ethics, and talks about consciousness using a braindead man on life support as an example. The man being kept alive on machines is... lol... Charles' twin brother "P. Xavier". In the after credits it shows Charles waking up in his brother's body apparently throwing the whole ethics question out of the window in the name of surviving what Jean did to him. So there you have it. The canonical answer for how Professor X is still alive and identical to how he looked before he died.
A solid movie in it's own right, The Wolverine ultimately served more as a test for the director-actor combo for the future masterpiece of Logan. Still a solid entry into the franchise and a good action movie; honestly I feel it could have used a bit of script cleaning to make it flow better and have more fleshed out villains, but it's on the good side of the franchise for sure.
Everybody seems to hate "The Wolverine," but I actually really dig this flick. It's an essential portion of Wolverine's comic-book past, and it's done in a way that perfectly ties in with the X-Men movies, overall. As well as perfectly leading in to the magnum opus of the X-Men movie series: "Days of Future Past!!" That's what that whole final cut scene is about! How can you not consider this film a quality addition to the X-Men series?? It baffles me, the hate that this film seems to get from everyone I know! It's certainly better than the FIRST Wolverine movie (which we shall not discuss). It may not be the best, but it definitely has its' place in the series.
People didn't like the movie a lot because it's part of wolverines past that most comic readers didn't really care about. They wanted the info of him in the USA, in Canada, in the Xmen, not many wanted this backstory. Plus they changed his origin and backstory a lot, especially with the dumb "bone claws" that die hard xmen fans hate. He never had bone claws, they had to add them in after they started doing time travel stuff, origin stuff, etc because they realized that telling stories about wolverine who didn't have admantium claws, his staple, were boring and a wolverine without claws was a boring character, so they had to invent "bone claws" for when he didn't have his admantium claws. Just stupid.
This was my second or third favorite until the last 20 minutes or so. Then it got so…comic booky. Like entirely too much, so much so that it falls flat.
We didn't need this entire movie for the final cut scene though. It doesn't even tie together lol. Charles and Eric could of shown up anywhere at any other point.
The thing I will always remember about this movie is the way they would run into a building or an alleyway in one part of Tokyo during a chase, and come out eleven miles away in a different part of the city. Guess the target audience wasn’t supposed to be that familiar with the city. 😂
I think the reason how Charles was at the end is I think in the comics he had a brother who was pretty much brain dead and just before Jean destroyed his body in X-3 he transferred his consciousness into his brother's body
This version of Yukio (played perfectly by Rila Fukushima) is my favourite screen version. She (obviously under James Mangold's direction) did a great job of embodying the swagger, aloofness, and badassery along with the touch of sadness of the original character. The DEADPOOL 2 version is cute and part of a hilarious running gag but Fukushima's Yukio is perfect. Really wish she had gotten more opportunities in further X-Films.
This one's definitely one of my favorites all because they filmed most of it on location in Japan. I would have stayed in Japan with Yukio and Mariko, because there are probably some cool stories to go on from there, and I wanted to know where Yukio and Logan went on those two years we didnt get to see but i guess we'll never know, because the franchise jsut went "Nah, we're not gonna do ANY of that! Also, there's a deleted scene on the plane where Logan opens a case, and inside the case, there's his costume from the comics in the classic brown and gold colors, and this movie makes me so sad about the wasted potential and.....*sigh*. Its an okay movie, though.
What makes Logan special is his healing ability. The process to add adamantium to his bones would have killed someone who did not have his ability. Once on his bones it no longer hurts except when he extends his claws. With his healing ability removed he would of course be in more pain when hurt and be in extreme pain each time he extends his claws.
There is an extra scene, not deleted, in some versions of this movie where yukio gives wolverine a new uniform, and it's his iconic yellow and black one from the comics. And there's a continuity error in the opening. Logan's showed being held prisoner in Japan, but we know he served the entire war in Europe.
The B-29 Superfortress was the bomber that dropped the 2 nukes over Japan in 1945 and thereby ending WWII for good, (although a few Japanese soldiers (in the end only 1) was fighting guerilla warfare until 1974 on an island as he was never told the war had ended, he was approached by american forces and philipine inforcement but he thought it was a war tactic, he was then contacted by a Japanese student which convinced him to surrender, he wasn't pleased to see what Japan had become since he left home in the 1940s). It was of course used for other missions, even used in the Korean war.
Regarding the radiation, Tsutomu Yamaguchi was 29-years-old when he was in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the days they were bombed. He's the only person officially recognized by the Japanese government as “nijyuu hibakusha" (“twice-bombed person"). He did not die until he was 93 years old. So it is possible to experience that much radiation and live a long life.
The adamantium was bonded to his skeleton with science, his mutant ability adapted to it's 500+ lbs by making him physically stronger, he's easily Captain America level and can deadlift about 2,000 lbs. In the comics he went on several missions with Cap during WW2.
I really liked this movie and wished they kept yukio around or did more with her because she was cool. The heart in hand line definitely gets me now though 😭
they forgot once adamantium cools after it have been melted once it is no longer effected by heat or cold, they even mention it in this marvel arc with hugh in other movies, but then they needed someone to cut them off so they thought it would be cool to go against everything they said before......
After Credits of X-Men 3: The Last Stand shows Moira taking care of a patient that has lacked higher brain function since birth. The body was completely healthy but the person is essentially a vegetable and is also shown in a video where Professor Xavier is teaching his class. When his physical body is destroyed by The Phoenix he transfers his consciousness into the comatose body which just so happens to be his twin brother. This is why when he says, "Hello Moira." She immediately recognized him and responded, "Charles."
I forgot how much I like this one. It kind of got overshadowed by Logan, and it's not bad like Origins. The most forgettable Wolverine solo movie, sadly.
lol i don't know if I'd use that adjective. It's certainly not for positive reasons, but the Origins film definitely left a distinct memory in the mind of movie goers (and filmmakers) at the time
The adamamntium skeleton doesn't rely on his healing abilities. However, his healing abilities are what allowed them to give him an adamantium skeleton in the first place. Cause it would've killed anyone else, having their entire bone structure replaced. Don't forget, before he was experimented on with the adamantium, he already had the healing abilities, and the claws were just bone/organic when they'd come out.
Ah, yes - 'The Wolverine'. Everyone will tell you how amazing 'Logan' is, and how this movie was just a dry run for that (and maybe you'll love that one when you get to it; I don't want to prejudice you against it or anything), but personally, I like this one way better. It gave me everything I want from a Wolverine movie - the badass fight scenes, the soul-searching, exotic locales, Wolvie battling ninjas and generally being awesome - plus stuff I didn't know I wanted, but was cool as well, like the losing-his-powers bit, or him battling a freakin' cyber-samurai. (Everybody whines about how silly that is; I just wonder where it says in the rulebook that comic book movies have to be serious all the damn time. Lighten up, people!) Alas, this is the last we see of Yukio (well, THIS Yukio - there's another, but she has nothing to do with the first one). It's a crying shame, too, since after the end of this one, I wanted nothing more than another movie where the two of them get into trouble somewhere. Oh, well.
The thing that tipped him off at the funeral was the visible tattoos on the one guys arm, as in Japan having tattoos is usually a sign of being associated with Yakuza
@3:37 - "What's a B-29?" A B-29 is a World War 2 bomber. Think of the Enola Gay, the B-29 Super Fortress that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima (hence Logan's comment, "There's no outrunning what's coming")
Wolverine's Japan mythos is so fucking cold and sick, they barely scratched the surface of the lore. Silver samurai wasn't done justice at all. And it would have been sick seeing Romulus, remus, daken, gorgon and lady death strike in the mix. Wolverine is more Japanese than Canadian. Japan loves wolverine!
Also you could also attribute Charles looking the same as him just giving the mental projection to everyone, that he looks the same, even though apparently its his long lost twin brother? But I'd prefer that he just projects his look into everyone's mind, so that it's just easier to communicate with them.
I believe the comics explain that the Coma Patient Prof X transferred his consciousness into was his Identical Twin who would never wake. The Last Stand decided to not mention that detail :') Days of Future Past is brilliant
Hope you read these in this film Yukio says she sees his death and he is holding his heart in his hand. I watched you react to Logan as well and at the end Laura his clone /daughter takes his hand and calls him Daddy. He then quips so that's how that feels, smiles and dies with: his heart ( her) in his hand
The reason why charles looks the same is because In X-men 3 (the last stand) there's a scene where charles is teaching a class and he talks about transferring ones consciousness into the body of a man in a coma. Then there is end credits scene where charles wakes up in that mans body who happens to be his twin brother. Brian Singer also talks about this in a interview years ago.
To answer the confusion you had when you thought that the adamantium skeleton only works because he heals himself.. Technically anyone can have an adamantium skeleton and they would yknow "work", it's just that Logan was the only person who could survive the operation, since striker literally needed someone who could survive a procedure where they meld hot molten metal into their skeleton..
The only explanation I can think of for Xavier being back is that he's in a totally new body (end credits X-Men 3 Last Stand) and his telepathy makes everyone see and hear the old body.
Throwing that guy into the pool was definitely a shout out to James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever. Mobsters throw a lady into the pool from many stories up. Bond: Exceptionally fine shot Mobster: I didn't know there was a pool down there.
Fun fact, Wolverine and Deadpool are Canadian, for some reason a lot of people don't know that lol. I think they're the most famous fictional Canadians apart from Anne of Green Gables. And oh, you have to watch Logan, it's so different, but lots of fans appreciated it.
"I see you on your back... There's blood everywhere... You're holding your own heart in your hand"... That line is more poetic than you think... Just wait... You'll see...
Don't worry about that final scene not making sense; these movies don't worry very much about continuity. All you can do is accept that Charles is back, Magneto got his powers back, and Logan apparently knows someone who can re-plate his claws with adamantium when he needs it done.
I never really thought about the point of his skeleton only working because he heals himself? My guess is maybe it’s not fully deactivated considering he still takes gunshot wounds among other things. Maybe it’s just mainly focused on keeping that thing out of his heart and skeleton weakening his healing everywhere else?
13:59 Logan-Wolverine would not need Healing-Factor, because he has Adamantium--it's just a coating. But when Canada mutant group-project-organization recruited Logan as Weapon "X" [perhaps as in ten]; then having a high enough healing factor was needed for the otherwise impossible to survive surgeries, which directly apply Adamantium to bone.-Ernie Moore Jr.
It was implied in X-Men: The Last Stand that the person Charles put his mind into was his twin brother or something. And maybe the guy just looked like Charles enough that Charles was somehow able to manipulate his skin to make him look like Charles again. It was a weird storyline all around, which is why it's best to just forget The Last Stand even happened. Watch "Days of Future Past: The Rogue Cut."
the key thing about what you said about turbulence, was the almost part of never taking down a plane. When you're dropping for 15 seconds who's to know which statistics side you'll be on with the fear in your mind.
its in 3rd xmen post credit scene but charles looks the same cause he transfered his conciousnes in to patient in vegetative state at Muir Island (patient was shown in earlier part of the movie as part of ethic class). he looks the same probably by augmenting his perception of himself in eyes of the others with his powers
22:26 I could be wrong, but I think it's not so much how deep the pool is but the fact that if the fall is that big the surface of the water would be almost like solid ground to him.
Wolverine once fought inside a nuclear stack. The bad guy's power was to get stronger with radiation. Logan actually lost an arm during the fight and his skin was constantly sloughing off during the fight.
Im sure someone already brought this up but her foresight about him dying with blood everywhere with his heart in his hand was true. In logan blood is everywhere and he is holding laura's hand when he dies.

I have never rewatched the movies in binge.
I JUST FUCKIN REALIZED
Fun fact! So in the comics, Logan actually knows fluent Japanese. Japan is also important to Logan's story, in the comics, as well. It's where he went, before WW2, to help calm his bestial nature, and to train in Eastern philosophies. AND he knows how to proficiently use a katana!
I would love to see an X-men prequel with Wolverine in the Far East before his admantium. I would love to see it set in the 1940s.
He could have adventures like Indiana Jones but without the pesky high probability of death.
The good old 'Patch' days in Madripor!!! Tiger Tiger and shit. Good old stuff.
@@technopirate304 the pesky high probability of death is for any traveling companions due to his bone claws.
@The Hollow Called White i hate the trading card attribute charts.
@@CaptainFrost32 mate what
Something you should know moving forward from here in the X-men franchise is that unlike the MCU, Fox had a more “continuity shmontinuity” take on there films. They just kinda did what they think worked best for the individual films, not really caring about events that happened prior.
Yeah, it's best not to spend too much time trying to get everything to line up perfectly. Take the post credits scenes simply as a promise that another movie is coming, but don't expect a perfect set up each time. :)
To be fair, that's how a lot of franchises were, which is why the MCU blew up, nobody thought of having sperate storylines coincide in the same universe without actually being spinoffs.
Until they corrected everything via Days Of The Future Past...
He noticed the “priest” had tattoos on his arm
Correct about the adamantium and constant healing, which is the problem with taking away his healing factor. It’d be an unpleasant death.
His healing was only diminished, not fully negated. If it had, he definitely would’ve died a lot sooner. I mean he’d bleed out from constantly popping his claws alone
It reversed because they disconnected in the middle of the transfer. It wasn’t yet permanently out of Logan and in Yashida
It’s not the same body. The X3 commentary revealed that the brain dead patient he transferred his consciousness into was his twin brother
You’re gonna see Logan with his metal claws again and it won’t be explained. My 2 main theories/assumptions are they got some adamantium and magneto put it on his claws, or magneto just manipulated the adamantium on the rest of his skeleton to re-cover them. Like he stretched it out
@Mr Glass oh I’m in plenty of non star wars reaction comment sections 😉
That was always my theory.
I see you in tons of comment sections, you must have thousands of comments in total
I heard all of the X-Men movies take place in a slightly different universe.
@@stephenb5jones476 That’s basically the answer I go with: in the X-verse, continuity only matters when they want it to
Sheeeesh, Natalie scoring some HUGE sponsorships!!! Gratz
Three long ass ads before the video even started was too much.
This is definitely the most underrated of the X-Men movies! I get excited that we're just getting closer and closer to Days Of Future Past, and eventually Logan.
Agreed
Facts
The Wolverine is a great movie.
The “dying with your heart in your hand” line really hits. It just hits
The closer you get to watching Logan the more hyped I get!
Simple explanation: Xavier is influencing everyone to see him as he used to be. More likely answer: Fox didn't care much about continuity (especially since Last Stand was hated).
Yea, that pretty much explains why they ended up redoing the Phoenix story & screwed it up AGAIN!
@@brianvalencia7717 They call it the Phoenix *Saga* for a reason. Silly execs trying to make it fit into a single movie. I expect them to screw it up in the MCU too.
@@thatHARVguy Yeah, Marvel has everything in place to really do it right whenever they decide to go back to that well. Dark Phoenix was a relatively small part of that whole storyline; she only actually appears as Dark Phoenix for a couple of issues, but she was the Phoenix for three or four years leading up to it.
I think this is one of the more underrated comic book movies of all time. The R-rated cut in particular I think is pretty damn good.
Agreed
Facts
I'm glad they let James Mangold write LOGAN
the line she says after "i see how you die" about being on his back with his heart in his hands, is a very important line for a future movie... keep a mental note of the words she used
she's seen logan iirc. but prob wont even consider it even when it comes up in the re-watch lol.
thanks for the spoiler, very cool
They took a good number of scenes right out of the comic books. It was a nice tip of the hat to the fans
There's a lot of this movie I really love, especially the first 2 acts. I love watching a mortal Logan bumming around Japan, killing Yakuza. I'm not as much a fan of the 3rd act when you get the Silver Samurai stuff--but it works well enough, I suppose.
Same
Agreed. I saw it in the theater and felt a significant drop in enjoyment when the third act hit. The extended cut is better but still has the same issue.
@@gregmcdonald8962 I kinda loved the movie, but IDK after they capture Wolverine things got kinda weird or how should I say. I would say that 1. grandpa in the armor felt weird (at least how it was executed). And 2. how fast the adimantium was cut, it felt very rushed. I know those are nitpicks, but those were the things that felt off to me.
ps. Saw extended cut too, and agree, doesn't really change the last act, so it was kinda the same to me.
Yeah, I wish they'd just used the Silver Samurai from the comics. It would have added a different dimension to the story. And if they had to use grandpa fighting against Wolverine, just have him take a little bit of Wolverine's healing ability, and have him duel him in a regular duel. Make it about "honor" and "loyalty", and things like that, the way the art on the extended cut underscored. Give him an adamantium blade, to actually have some stakes.
It's still a decent movie overall, but what could have been... *sigh*
Main tip for the x-men movies is don’t get hung up on story inconsistencies movie to movie. The writers very much didn’t.
Yes, Wolverine in Japan! I'll defend this film to the death. I love that Hugh Jackman actually read the Wolverine in Japan comics and wanted to adapt that. :D
I still wish he was fluent in Japanese like in the comics. Wolverine in the comics was a huge fan of Japanese culture.
@@vetarlittorf1807 Yeah definitely a missed opportunity when this isn't his first stay in Japan but, eh.
I love this movie too.
For Days of Future Past make sure you get the ROGUE cut.
This!!
The Rogue Cut honestly doesn't make much of a difference. And if anything, it decreases the stakes by not having Kitty maintaining Logan's mind in the past as she slowly bleeds to death.
@@vetarlittorf1807 Please don’t spoil it.
@@vetarlittorf1807 Please remove spoilers. Not everyone has seen the film.
It's not you Nat, as much as I like this movie(mostly because of the graphic novel that inspired it), it is a little bit convoluted in its plot delivery. As for Charles in a "new" body, it is actually a vegetative twin brother he moved his consciousness into (off camera in "X-men : the last Stand"). It is a little convenient that this new body also needs the Wheelchair.
Kudos on the sponsorship. I am always impressed by what an excellent and professional spokesperson you are.
Even though I know it's a plot hole, I wonder if it wasn't similar to a situation in 'Sliders', where a guy transferred his consciousness to a new body, but he still couldn't walk because his mind hadn't adapted. Charles may have needed time to adapt to being in the new body, and 're-learn' how to walk, but with what happens in 'Days of Future Past' soon afterwards, it was time they didn't have.
@@PyramidHead316 that's plausible. My theory was that maybe because the body had been comatose essentially forever that his musculature had likely atrophied.
@@BiggestDawgEver That's a good point, and I hadn't thought of it. I was watching The Matrix a little while ago, the original one, and I remember what Morpheus said about Neo's muscles atrophying, because he was stuck in that pod for so long.
Please tell me you watched the extended cut, it's R-rated and doesn't cut out the blood, violence, and language like the normal theatrical cut does...
Also, someone already said it, but make sure you watch the Rogue Cut of Days of Future Past!!
A) Yukio is awesome, and so is Rila Fukushima who plays her.
B) The bath scene is completely un-Japanese. In Japan bathtubs are for relaxing, not washing. One washes oneself on a bench outside the bath (kind of a shower) but never in the tub. It is seen as "dirty" to get into a tub before you have washed.
C) Yukio is awesome.
that bath scene always reminds me of The Beast getting a bath in Beauty and the Beast XD
13:57 he survived the *procedure* of the adamantium being fused over his bones due to his healing factor. Once it was a part of his skeleton, it'd still hurt humans trying to punch him in the head, regardless if he could heal or not.
He was also likely able to more quickly get strong enough to lug around all that weight due to the tearing/healing of muscle that happens in building strength.
To explain a LOT of things that aren't made clear between movies:
1. Xavier dies in X-Men 3, but the brain dead patient they were talking about in the Ethics class he was teaching was his twin brother.
Just before death he transferred his mind into his twin's braindead body - which is the EXACT Ethics scenario they were discussing.
2. With Magneto and Xavier meeting Logan at the airport, Magneto restores Wolverine's adamantium claws.
They never bother to show it.
Viper - the snake woman, is also known as Madame Hydra. She's one of HYDRA's leaders.
The FoX-Men universe can't include HYDRA, but they somehow managed to use this version of Viper.
SO, you can sort of assume that she's there either just working for the grandfather, OR you can assume she's working for HYDRA and trying to get a hold of Wolverine's healing powers and the old man's massive stockpile of adamantium. But according to the movie she really just seems to work for the old man.
Individual movies, like X2 and The Wolverine are great, but overall these movies are kind of a mess, and as a series they're a vague only semi-coherent mess that only "works" if you don't attempt to think about it.
The next one, Days Of Future Past, is absolutely incoherent and terrible if you try and think about it AT ALL.
Days of Future Past isn't even remotely incoherent. In fact, it literally resets the continuity and fixes the continuity issues.
@@vetarlittorf1807 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
No. No it doesn't.
It makes everything so SO much worse.
L O L
@@ieyke HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yes. Yes it does.
It erases the old timeline in favor of a new one.
L O L
@@vetarlittorf1807 Hint: It's a new timeline that does NOTHING to fix anything, and only makes everything worse.
Also, DOFP itself makes ZERO sense, regardless of the rest of the timeline.
You should really go check your facts before attempting your wildly misinformed nonsense.
@@ieyke Lol. Facts? You're the one making blanket statements instead of using facts. And I AM using facts. How does DOFP make things worse? It erases the original timeline, meaning it's not relevant to the post-DOFP movies.
And what exactly doesn't make sense about the movie? It has a coherent narrative, the characters are consistent and the plot is seamless.
Good job embarrassing yourself...
The explanation for Xavier is in the after credits scene of X3. Earlier in the film Moira is helping Charles teach a class about mutant power ethics, and talks about consciousness using a braindead man on life support as an example. The man being kept alive on machines is... lol... Charles' twin brother "P. Xavier". In the after credits it shows Charles waking up in his brother's body apparently throwing the whole ethics question out of the window in the name of surviving what Jean did to him.
So there you have it. The canonical answer for how Professor X is still alive and identical to how he looked before he died.
Honestly, I think the solo Wolverine movies and First Class are where this franchise is at its best. Minus the first Wolverine one of course
"You're holding your own heart in your hand." Remember that line when you watch Logan.
Crazy how it pretty much happened
@@ThetrueHeero shuuuut uuuuuup
A solid movie in it's own right, The Wolverine ultimately served more as a test for the director-actor combo for the future masterpiece of Logan. Still a solid entry into the franchise and a good action movie; honestly I feel it could have used a bit of script cleaning to make it flow better and have more fleshed out villains, but it's on the good side of the franchise for sure.
NATALIE! So happy and proud to see your channel grown to score such great sponsorships! Way to go!!!
Everybody seems to hate "The Wolverine," but I actually really dig this flick.
It's an essential portion of Wolverine's comic-book past, and it's done in a way that perfectly ties in with the X-Men movies, overall. As well as perfectly leading in to the magnum opus of the X-Men movie series: "Days of Future Past!!" That's what that whole final cut scene is about! How can you not consider this film a quality addition to the X-Men series?? It baffles me, the hate that this film seems to get from everyone I know!
It's certainly better than the FIRST Wolverine movie (which we shall not discuss). It may not be the best, but it definitely has its' place in the series.
No, it's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" people hate. This one is okay, despite the random introduction of new mutants.
People didn't like the movie a lot because it's part of wolverines past that most comic readers didn't really care about. They wanted the info of him in the USA, in Canada, in the Xmen, not many wanted this backstory. Plus they changed his origin and backstory a lot, especially with the dumb "bone claws" that die hard xmen fans hate. He never had bone claws, they had to add them in after they started doing time travel stuff, origin stuff, etc because they realized that telling stories about wolverine who didn't have admantium claws, his staple, were boring and a wolverine without claws was a boring character, so they had to invent "bone claws" for when he didn't have his admantium claws. Just stupid.
This was my second or third favorite until the last 20 minutes or so. Then it got so…comic booky. Like entirely too much, so much so that it falls flat.
We didn't need this entire movie for the final cut scene though. It doesn't even tie together lol. Charles and Eric could of shown up anywhere at any other point.
Nobody hates this movie.
The thing I will always remember about this movie is the way they would run into a building or an alleyway in one part of Tokyo during a chase, and come out eleven miles away in a different part of the city. Guess the target audience wasn’t supposed to be that familiar with the city. 😂
I think the reason how Charles was at the end is I think in the comics he had a brother who was pretty much brain dead and just before Jean destroyed his body in X-3 he transferred his consciousness into his brother's body
I really liked Yukio in this and would've loved to see another Wolverine movie with her side kicking it with him. I am bummed we didnt get that.
This version of Yukio (played perfectly by Rila Fukushima) is my favourite screen version. She (obviously under James Mangold's direction) did a great job of embodying the swagger, aloofness, and badassery along with the touch of sadness of the original character.
The DEADPOOL 2 version is cute and part of a hilarious running gag but Fukushima's Yukio is perfect.
Really wish she had gotten more opportunities in further X-Films.
The bug on his heart was attacking the tissues and thus overtaxing his healing factor so the gunshots and contusions wouldn't heal right away.
I actually really liked this one!!!! It was pretty well done
Love you, Nat! And Merry Christmas to everyone!!!!
Happy Holidays! :)
@@NatalieGoldReacts Just Wait Till You Get To ‘DAYS OF FUTURE PAST’!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@fabian5813 There was a Fox TV series called 'The Gifted' that she can explore after DOFP.
@@CaptainFrost32 Oh Yeah, I Remember That One, Was It Good?
@@fabian5813 Yep.
him dying with his heart in his hand is one of the craziest things i remembered while watching a different movie
This one's definitely one of my favorites all because they filmed most of it on location in Japan. I would have stayed in Japan with Yukio and Mariko, because there are probably some cool stories to go on from there, and I wanted to know where Yukio and Logan went on those two years we didnt get to see but i guess we'll never know, because the franchise jsut went "Nah, we're not gonna do ANY of that!
Also, there's a deleted scene on the plane where Logan opens a case, and inside the case, there's his costume from the comics in the classic brown and gold colors, and this movie makes me so sad about the wasted potential and.....*sigh*. Its an okay movie, though.
With Disney buying Fox, there's no way Jackman will be the last Wolverine, so maybe you'll still get your wish.
This is one of my favorites too.
What makes Logan special is his healing ability. The process to add adamantium to his bones would have killed someone who did not have his ability. Once on his bones it no longer hurts except when he extends his claws. With his healing ability removed he would of course be in more pain when hurt and be in extreme pain each time he extends his claws.
Considering he needed medical care, the nurses office might have actually been a good choice
There is an extra scene, not deleted, in some versions of this movie where yukio gives wolverine a new uniform, and it's his iconic yellow and black one from the comics. And there's a continuity error in the opening. Logan's showed being held prisoner in Japan, but we know he served the entire war in Europe.
Watching Nat worry about Logan not being able to heal just makes me think, "Wait till you see 'Logan'."
The heart in your hand line is top tier foreshadowing and metaphor
We won't be seeing Wolverine smoking a cigar in the MCU
Multiverse baby!
@@CCFONESOL still following Disney's rules
The B-29 Superfortress was the bomber that dropped the 2 nukes over Japan in 1945 and thereby ending WWII for good, (although a few Japanese soldiers (in the end only 1) was fighting guerilla warfare until 1974 on an island as he was never told the war had ended, he was approached by american forces and philipine inforcement but he thought it was a war tactic, he was then contacted by a Japanese student which convinced him to surrender, he wasn't pleased to see what Japan had become since he left home in the 1940s).
It was of course used for other missions, even used in the Korean war.
I am so excited for her to watch Logan. I hope she goes in with no expectations.
That line about not knowing there was a pool is from the James Bond movie "Diamonds Are Forever".
"You're holding your heart in your hand"
Most. Important line. In the MCU.
This is not MCU. But yeah, it's very important.
*XMCU
Not MCU
Great flick, the extended version has a longer fight with the ninjas if any one wants to check it out.
Natalie, take a deep breath and say: Huge, Jacked Man!
Regarding the radiation, Tsutomu Yamaguchi was 29-years-old when he was in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the days they were bombed. He's the only person officially recognized by the Japanese government as “nijyuu hibakusha" (“twice-bombed person"). He did not die until he was 93 years old. So it is possible to experience that much radiation and live a long life.
I'm just here for remember u to see Days of Future Past ROGUE CUT
The adamantium was bonded to his skeleton with science, his mutant ability adapted to it's 500+ lbs by making him physically stronger, he's easily Captain America level and can deadlift about 2,000 lbs. In the comics he went on several missions with Cap during WW2.
I really liked this movie and wished they kept yukio around or did more with her because she was cool. The heart in hand line definitely gets me now though 😭
they forgot once adamantium cools after it have been melted once it is no longer effected by heat or cold, they even mention it in this marvel arc with hugh in other movies, but then they needed someone to cut them off so they thought it would be cool to go against everything they said before......
Man I cannot wait for you to watch Logan, that movie is so fuckin awesome and truly did the character and the cast justice
you are holding your own heart in your hand... OH MAN! im crying again.
I can't wait for Days of Future Past. While Logan is objectively the best film out of the group, DFP is my personal favourite.
Yeah I like to imagine it's a separate universe from Logan because Iike the ending.
After Credits of X-Men 3: The Last Stand shows Moira taking care of a patient that has lacked higher brain function since birth. The body was completely healthy but the person is essentially a vegetable and is also shown in a video where Professor Xavier is teaching his class. When his physical body is destroyed by The Phoenix he transfers his consciousness into the comatose body which just so happens to be his twin brother. This is why when he says, "Hello Moira." She immediately recognized him and responded, "Charles."
I forgot how much I like this one. It kind of got overshadowed by Logan, and it's not bad like Origins. The most forgettable Wolverine solo movie, sadly.
lol i don't know if I'd use that adjective. It's certainly not for positive reasons, but the Origins film definitely left a distinct memory in the mind of movie goers (and filmmakers) at the time
@@bradleymay5350 The Wolverine is the forgettable one.
The adamamntium skeleton doesn't rely on his healing abilities. However, his healing abilities are what allowed them to give him an adamantium skeleton in the first place. Cause it would've killed anyone else, having their entire bone structure replaced. Don't forget, before he was experimented on with the adamantium, he already had the healing abilities, and the claws were just bone/organic when they'd come out.
Ah, yes - 'The Wolverine'. Everyone will tell you how amazing 'Logan' is, and how this movie was just a dry run for that (and maybe you'll love that one when you get to it; I don't want to prejudice you against it or anything), but personally, I like this one way better. It gave me everything I want from a Wolverine movie - the badass fight scenes, the soul-searching, exotic locales, Wolvie battling ninjas and generally being awesome - plus stuff I didn't know I wanted, but was cool as well, like the losing-his-powers bit, or him battling a freakin' cyber-samurai. (Everybody whines about how silly that is; I just wonder where it says in the rulebook that comic book movies have to be serious all the damn time. Lighten up, people!)
Alas, this is the last we see of Yukio (well, THIS Yukio - there's another, but she has nothing to do with the first one). It's a crying shame, too, since after the end of this one, I wanted nothing more than another movie where the two of them get into trouble somewhere. Oh, well.
The thing that tipped him off at the funeral was the visible tattoos on the one guys arm, as in Japan having tattoos is usually a sign of being associated with Yakuza
I'd love to see you react to the kingsman movies. They are incredible and extremely underrated.
i agree that they are amazing but they are praised as fuck no one udnerrates them xD
The line about not knowing there was a pool down below was taken from a James Bond movie 1971 Diamonds are Forever.
@3:37 - "What's a B-29?"
A B-29 is a World War 2 bomber. Think of the Enola Gay, the B-29 Super Fortress that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima (hence Logan's comment, "There's no outrunning what's coming")
Wolverine's Japan mythos is so fucking cold and sick, they barely scratched the surface of the lore. Silver samurai wasn't done justice at all. And it would have been sick seeing Romulus, remus, daken, gorgon and lady death strike in the mix. Wolverine is more Japanese than Canadian. Japan loves wolverine!
8:15 We hit an air pocket once while in a plane and the plane dropped vertically about 30 feet. Not always like potholes. :(
Also you could also attribute Charles looking the same as him just giving the mental projection to everyone, that he looks the same, even though apparently its his long lost twin brother? But I'd prefer that he just projects his look into everyone's mind, so that it's just easier to communicate with them.
“I saw you on your back, there was blood everywhere, and you were holding your own heart in your hand” remember that
In the comic book graphic novel "Origin" Logan lived with wolves in the Great White North.
He's not just camping.
I believe the comics explain that the Coma Patient Prof X transferred his consciousness into was his Identical Twin who would never wake. The Last Stand decided to not mention that detail :')
Days of Future Past is brilliant
"Love hotels" are fairly common in Japan. Families usually live in cramped spaces with very little room for privacy, so there is a market.
I love how Logan is a neighbor to a Grizzly Bear. They actually respect each other.
Hope you read these in this film Yukio says she sees his death and he is holding his heart in his hand. I watched you react to Logan as well and at the end Laura his clone /daughter takes his hand and calls him Daddy. He then quips so that's how that feels, smiles and dies with: his heart ( her) in his hand
The reason why charles looks the same is because In X-men 3 (the last stand) there's a scene where charles is teaching a class and he talks about transferring ones consciousness into the body of a man in a coma. Then there is end credits scene where charles wakes up in that mans body who happens to be his twin brother. Brian Singer also talks about this in a interview years ago.
To answer the confusion you had when you thought that the adamantium skeleton only works because he heals himself.. Technically anyone can have an adamantium skeleton and they would yknow "work", it's just that Logan was the only person who could survive the operation, since striker literally needed someone who could survive a procedure where they meld hot molten metal into their skeleton..
What kind of monster are you?!
Wolverine: "The Wolverine" *snikt*
The only explanation I can think of for Xavier being back is that he's in a totally new body (end credits X-Men 3 Last Stand) and his telepathy makes everyone see and hear the old body.
Adamantium...
Vibranium is what Captain America's shield is made off.
Her premonition. "You die on your back, there's blood everywhere. You have your heart in your hands." So poetic.
Throwing that guy into the pool was definitely a shout out to James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever. Mobsters throw a lady into the pool from many stories up.
Bond: Exceptionally fine shot
Mobster: I didn't know there was a pool down there.
Fun fact, Wolverine and Deadpool are Canadian, for some reason a lot of people don't know that lol. I think they're the most famous fictional Canadians apart from Anne of Green Gables. And oh, you have to watch Logan, it's so different, but lots of fans appreciated it.
"I see you on your back... There's blood everywhere... You're holding your own heart in your hand"... That line is more poetic than you think... Just wait... You'll see...
I like how the bear is basically saying "Good morning." to his neighbor, Logan.
Don't worry about that final scene not making sense; these movies don't worry very much about continuity. All you can do is accept that Charles is back, Magneto got his powers back, and Logan apparently knows someone who can re-plate his claws with adamantium when he needs it done.
I never really thought about the point of his skeleton only working because he heals himself? My guess is maybe it’s not fully deactivated considering he still takes gunshot wounds among other things. Maybe it’s just mainly focused on keeping that thing out of his heart and skeleton weakening his healing everywhere else?
13:59 Logan-Wolverine would not need Healing-Factor, because he has Adamantium--it's just a coating. But when Canada mutant group-project-organization recruited Logan as Weapon "X" [perhaps as in ten]; then having a high enough healing factor was needed for the otherwise impossible to survive surgeries, which directly apply Adamantium to bone.-Ernie Moore Jr.
Yukio: "I was wrong!"
Audience: "..........."
The "shout out to The Vietnam war" meme might be the best thing your editor has ever put in this videos I burst out laughing at that
It was implied in X-Men: The Last Stand that the person Charles put his mind into was his twin brother or something. And maybe the guy just looked like Charles enough that Charles was somehow able to manipulate his skin to make him look like Charles again. It was a weird storyline all around, which is why it's best to just forget The Last Stand even happened.
Watch "Days of Future Past: The Rogue Cut."
the key thing about what you said about turbulence, was the almost part of never taking down a plane. When you're dropping for 15 seconds who's to know which statistics side you'll be on with the fear in your mind.
its in 3rd xmen post credit scene but charles looks the same cause he transfered his conciousnes in to patient in vegetative state at Muir Island (patient was shown in earlier part of the movie as part of ethic class). he looks the same probably by augmenting his perception of himself in eyes of the others with his powers
His healing ability was only necessary for the procedure to make his skeleton adamantium, so he could survive the process.
22:26 I could be wrong, but I think it's not so much how deep the pool is but the fact that if the fall is that big the surface of the water would be almost like solid ground to him.
Wolverine once fought inside a nuclear stack. The bad guy's power was to get stronger with radiation. Logan actually lost an arm during the fight and his skin was constantly sloughing off during the fight.
Im sure someone already brought this up but her foresight about him dying with blood everywhere with his heart in his hand was true. In logan blood is everywhere and he is holding laura's hand when he dies.
