Nice. A few points: James Howlett is actually his real given name. This is not an alternate timeline, but rather, the timeline as 'adjusted' based on the events of Days of Future past. Charles was responsible for killing the majority of the X-Men, as well as all other mutants, due to a seizure. The Safe Zone (Eden) over the border in Canada is protected by Alpha Flight (the Canadian mutant team).
Apparently they've now redesignated this as an offshoot timeline from the Days of Future Past timeline. I'm not really sure _why_ they've done that given that Logan takes place so much further into the future than anything else and should, therefore, have very little effect on the merging of the Foxiverse and MCU. The events of the DoFP timeline are in this version of Logan's past, but this version of Logan _isn't_ in the DoFP timeline's future. Canonicity is fun!
It doesn't show up in the closed captions, but when Logan first attacks the Reavers after taking the injection, one of them yells "It's the Wolverine!! Left flank, left flank!!"
Logan was dying of Adamantium poisoning because of the fact that his healing abilities were diminished. He'd been poisoned by the Adamantium all along, but when his healing factor was stronger, it could protect him from it. Some people speculate that his powers diminished with age, others that the GMO food the Doctor created to suppress mutant genes, might have been the cause. The clone, X-24 was an imperfect clone according to director, James Mangold. He healed smaller injuries quickly, but when he was impaled on that farm equipment, he needed that injection to handle all those major wounds. They also used a much thinner coating of Adamantium on his bones, which is why the bullet was able to blow apart so much of his skull. When Charles said that he remembered what happened in Westchester. He was saying that he finally remembered that he'd had one of his seizures and killed all of the other X-Men.
this is something that bothered me i always thought it would have been better to say the stuff they used to root out mutant genes also had a deadening effect on logans healing factor(which technically they could still do) logans healing factor is legendary and i hate that they nerfed(IMO) it in this
They wanted to have a cameo with Logan's half brother Sabertooth. But actor Liev Schreiber wasn't available due to scheduling conflicts. They never said who the boy Rictor, was talking to on the radio. But fans have speculated that it may have been a member of Alpha Flight, who are the Canadian equivalent of the X-Men in the comics. Even with the GMO foods suppressing new mutants, the original Alpha Flight members would have still been alive in that time.
The three main characters should have won Oscars for their performances. We got this film because R-rated Deadpool did so well. I hope you're going to watch Deadpool and Wolverine now... The only problem with Laura is that she hasn't stopped growing yet. So, what happens to the Adamantium covering her skeleton?
Apparently Laura's skeleton isn't completely infused with adamantium like Logan's is. I saw one person suggest this was to allow her to continue growing, but I don't think the people who did that to her gave that much of a shit. Instead, I think it's because they had an extremely small amount of adamantium to work with. Most of the adamantium is in her claws rather than her skeleton. X-24 similarly had less adamantium than Logan, though more than Laura, really just a thin shell around his bones rather than infused into them (which is part of why the adamantium bullet was able to do so much damage).
Dafne Keen is _so good!_ I've seen just under half of her seven roles (this, DP&W, and the His Dark Materials TV series), and she nails every single one. She really deserves to be cast in more.
The thing about fiction is that it's no different than the multiverse, where anything that can happen did, is and will. Logan died in this reality, but in another one Charles Xavier never had a stroke and Logan never succumbed to adamantium poisoning. Those realities are just a continuation of any of the previous movies. I prefer one of those, it just wasn't seen in a theater.
There's a weird double-thing going at certain points in the video, it almost looks like other footage got overlaid. It's other places too, but I noticed it between 11:30-11:40. Still, great to have you both back!
Thanks for that - yeah, I can't figure out what's causing it in the edit... I'm sure it's a simple thing I missed, some box I didn't check. Thanks for the support! - Greg
Firstly, welcome back, I really enjoy your content, though I rarely comment. Second, you really should show Des "Shane", it's one of the greatest movies ever made... in my opinion, at least.
This movie and Brave Heart always breaks me 😢 From what I heard, original writing had Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber) in the movie, but sadly it was denied by Liev Schreiber because he was busy with Ray Donovan series
About Charles' seizures: Pierce mentions when he comes to the junkyard or whatever it is that Xavier's brain had been classified as a weapon of mass destruction, and later Dr. Rice asks Caliban if the old man has Alzheimer's or ALS that makes the seizures uncontrollable without meds. That's why he stopped taking the pills, because he felt like he might "need" to use his condition for protection.
My last comment in chat got cut off, so here it is for Greg: "Go fish in another pond, this one's spoiler-free." :D Also, Greg, Ford vs Ferrari is really good.
I've been looking forward to this. Can't wait for the Deadpool 2 reaction. This film is partially based on the Old Man Logan storyline in the comics. The Westchester Incident is significantly different in the comics. In that future, Logan had become a pacifist after an event twenty years prior to the story of the book where all the villains of the Marvel universe launched a simultaneous joint attack on all the heroes, successfully killing most of them. Logan gets the worst outcome. Thanks to a combo of powerful psychic manipulation and Mysterio's illusions, Logan believed that the X-mansion was under attack by all the X-men's enemies and carved his way through them, until the last one went down, the illusion dropped and Logan saw the truth: the X-men were dead by his hand. No one survived, not even the students. Overcome with grief and shame, he fled, vowing never to fight or shed blood ever again. Years later, he took up farming, started a family, and lived a simple, peaceful life on his families farm. That all ended when his family was eaten by the Hulk family (the inbred cannibal children of a cruel, malicious, and certifiably insane Bruce Banner, who used his cousin She-Hulk as a brood mare), and with assistance from a now blind Hawkeye, pursued them and broke his vow of pacifism and slaughtered them one by one to avenge his family, ending in a brutal showdown between Logan and Bruce.
Hiya great reaction guys love all your observations , predictions and looks of shock and surprise . And what an amazing movie you are reacting to , I absolutely love Logan it was so so fantastic and was what all the comic fans have been clamouring for for years that Logan goes full berserker on bad guys and really messes them up but obviously the X Men movies not being R rated they could not go there , so we finally got there . Logan is so fantastically well made and so heart-breaking at the same time , Laura's line at the end " Daddy " Has me in bits every time ( I'm tearing up right now at your reaction ) and of course Charles demise is so tragic especially as you really hope he realises it was not Logan but was X 24 ( Evil Wolverine clone ) who kills him . ( I love X 24s look , obviously a younger Wolverine who they made look so different ) .And of course the very tragic end that the Munson family meet was so brutal too . The choice to make the violence so brutal and horrifying was so correct when Logan uses his claws it looks exactly as it should painful and traumatic , if this was not R rated it would have been such a cop out and watered down . Every one in this gives it there all Hugh and Patrick are as great as always even when playing a very different broken Logan and Charles , but Dafne Keen as Laura ( X 23 in the comics ) was amazing she was so charismatic , brutal and savage , Daphnes fight scenes and choreography were so well done she fights in such a feral way . All the supporting cast were great too Stephen Merchant as Caliban was great and had so many great scenes with Logan and funny lines too , Boyd Holbrook and Richard E Grant ( Classic Loki from Loki ) are great as the bad guys very boo hiss and despicable . Sometimes these Superhero movies can be a lot more personal and human and it does not always have to be about saving the Earth or the Universe , which Logan does so well a smaller personnel story can be just as powerful . Love the effect of Charles seizures and the little touch of having the X Men comics in the movie . I think it is the Adamantium laced to Logans bones and his claws in the not so great Wolverine Origins movie that has been leaking into his bloodstream that is poisoning Logan and the reason he looks so rough and that he does not heal like before . The look , tone and feel is so different but so great and has more the feel of a Western than your classic X Men movie , Logan is very loosely based on a story in the Wolverine comic from 2008 called Old Man Logan which ran for 8 issues and is set on an alternate Earth where Logan has given up the Hero life after he was tricked by the Spider-Man Villain Mysterio into slaughtering all the X Men , Logan is now a farmer with a family when an aged blind Clint Barton ( Hawkeye ) offers him a road trip to deliver a package across America which is now controlled by all the Villains after a lot of the Heroes have been wiped out , Logan is paying protecting money to the Hulk Gang inbred descendants of Bruce Banner who run that district . Logan and Clint have many adventures travelling across many territories controlled by the Villain's , after getting paid and beating Red Skull Logan returns home to find to his horror that Hulk Gang visited his farm a day early after their money and murdered his Family , Logan then hunts the Hulk Gang down and slaughters them all very brutally , he then adopts a baby Hulk and they ride of into the sunset , Old Man Logan was written Mark Millar and is traditional Miller story very violent , brutal and twisted . In The Wolverine Yukio tells Wolverine he will die on his back with his heart in his hand , holding Laura's hand is the heart Yukio was referring to . In my opinion after X Men Days of Future past and then Logan all the other X Men or X related movies , X Men Apocalypse , Dark Phoenix and New Mutants were very disappointing and signalled the end of the franchise they really should have ended with Logan instead of releasing the very poor New Mutants , Logan was a fantastic way to say good bye to Logan , Charles and Hugh and Patrick and a good way to say good bye to the franchise but it was not to be and now Wolverine is in Deadpool 3 which I believe is an alternate universe of Wolverine , whoever takes the role of Wolverine in the MCU has got very big boots to fill . Logan is easily the very best of the Wolverine solo movies and maybe the best of the X Men franchise but I still really love X2 probably because you have all the other characters in it too but I think Logan just beats X2 as it is more grown up and so different from any in the franchise , plus the brutality and coarseness is great too with nothing held back . Heard a funny story about Hugh and Dafne filming the scene when Logan tells Laura to shut the f**k up and Laura starts shouting at him in Spanish , Hugh went up to Dafne's Mum who was there as Dafne was 12 when they filmed Logan and Hugh apologised for swearing at her Daughter and Dafne's Mum said that's OK she just called you a c**t in Spanish So all in all a fantastic , bleak , heart-breaking , brutal , violent movie with a lot of heart and soul and a great way to say bye to 2 great characters and introduce 1 great new character and young actress .
This is what I love about our community - so much knowledge and love for these films (and in the case Marvel)!! Thank you for sharing this. I'm hoping the BTS with story Dafne is true 😂 - Des
@@videovillagereactions Apparently both movies came out within an year of each other and their production teams had no idea that they were both using Caliban. Plus the fact that Apocalypse is set in the past and Logan in 2029, it turned out to be a good thing that they both went with different actors to show the age factor.
Y'all should watch and react to X-Men 97; it's the second-best MCU project, in my opinion, behind Daredevil. The writing, dialogue, voice acting, animation, score, etc.-everything about it is so good; it's almost a perfect show. I gave it a 9/10. Fox films did dirty every mutant with the exception of Wolverine, Magneto, and Professor X, who were the most passable, but everyone else got sidelined and done dirty. Cyclops is my favorite X-Men; he is the first X-Men, the leader, and in the films he is useless, and people that never read the comics don't know how badass he is or how good of a character he is, and X-Men 97 gave the redemption the character deserved, even people that didn't like Cyclops. I've seen many reactions, and everyone loved him in the show. Storm is an Omega-Level mutant; in the films she wasn't even that powerful; the show portrayed how powerful she is; Rogue in the films was literally useless and nothing like the badass she is; the show showed how useful her powers truly are and how great she is; Gambit in Origins was terrible; in the show he was one of the best characters. I love the show. I am scared because they fired the showrunner and got someone from What If, and I don't want him to mess up the storylines and characters for season 3 when he becomes the showrunner.
@reynaldolorenzo8409 THANK YOU for this!! The original cartoon was what started me on Marvel. I devoured X-Men '97. Immediately told Greg he needs to watch it, too. We have been and are a few eps in together. Agree with you so much on all the characters. Cyclops was a fav and much stronger in the series (they did James Marsden wrong with his character) and obvi the leader. To me, there was not question of a choice between him and Wolverine. And Gambit - oh man! - my fav X-Men. Didn't get him right either. The cartoon is absolutely wonderful. Did you watch Assembled: The Making of X-Men '97? Highly recommend.
👏 Thank You… By this time you’ve seen Deadpool & Wolverine 🤔 lol … no answers there. I think the saddest thing for me are all the stories that could have been told in this IP - Marvel, X-men 🥹 but we got what we got, and it was a good run. Only the future will tell. See y’all on the next one.
Thanks for clicking by! Des goes THROUGH it on this one, so grab your comfort blankets and watch her battle all the stages of grief.

It was in Apocalypse.

This is set in a alternate timeline
👏 Thank You…
By this time you’ve seen Deadpool & Wolverine 🤔 lol … no answers there.
I think the saddest thing for me are all the stories that could have been told in this IP - Marvel, X-men 🥹 but we got what we got, and it was a good run. Only the future will tell.
See y’all on the next one.
Thanks so much!
