You don’t need to make any excuses for including Carly. Coming from a dysfunctional family myself it is really nice to see two sisters, with obviously distinct personalities, still get along and enjoy movies together. It is especially cute when you protect Carly from the super violent scenes!
Wolverine's Japan arc is much beloved by comicbook readers. And yes the mid-credit scene was huge. Just think of the level a threat would have to be to unite eric and charles
Charles still looks the same because the brain dead man he transferred himself to was his twin brother. Confirmed in the commentary of Last Stand. Technically you learned Logan was older than he appeared in the first movie, just not how old. Logan’s healing is suppressed, but he does still have bones laced with near indestructable metal, so they wouldn’t brake from falls. Dislocated maybe, but not broken. Not without something else adamantium, or something stronger.
This has become my favorite movie reaction channel. It really feels like going to the theatre. But in bed. We're all lucky that you sheltered yourself to specific movies growing up because it is awesome watching these movies vicariously through you.
@@thefly4176 I watch a few channels. PiB, Blind Wave, The Normies, Just Trust Ash, MagiePink etc. But the difference between this channel and those, is that they are all content creators. Cassie and Carly and just two mums, experiencing movies for the first time. It’s just humble, and doesn’t feel like a massive grift? I don’t feel like i’m being used for money with this channel, just feels like one of Cassies hobbies.
Logan lost his memories when stryker put two adamantium bullets through his brain. What this did was emulsify (mess-up) a significant portion of his brain into little pieces and stir it all up. Each little piece contains some part of his memory. SO Logan still has all his memories -- just doesn't have access to them. BUT Logan's brain is slowly healing. All the little pieces are (slowly) finding their way back to their proper places so every so often Logan get a few old memories back.
I always preferred the explanation of his brain "intentionally" locking away memories as a meanings to protect him. His trauma would have destroyed him, just as any other person, but his body keeps him going. It's basically what happens to all of us in real life just that his life is much more extreme. A person gets traumatized in war, it gets locked away if they can't handle it so the person can live in. Even when, tragically, children experience extreme trauma they lock the worst of it away to continue on, albeit it tends to alter their lives more since it is during developmental periods of life.
@@jessecortez9449 I am totally supportive of this theory BUT it is a contributing factor not the sole factor. The reason for Logan's memory loss is a whole bunch of little (and big) things. Just as the restoration of his memory will be.
The reason this story works so well (like the comic it is inspired by) is because Wolverine is a Ronin himself. He has outlived the war that created him and now wanders alone, using his skills for justice and atoning for past sins.
@@osmanyousif7849 let me get this straight: you would unironically want them to post separate reactions to 2 versions of the same movie that are only 15 minutes different?
There’s an alternative ending, where Logan’s bodyguard gives him a suitcase on the plane. In the case is a yellow and blue spandex suit, like the original X-men suits from the comics. The Wolverine in the trailer for Deadpool 3 wears a similar outfit.
It's not the blue and yellow suit in the case. It's the other iconic suit which is tan and brown. First introduced in the 1982 limited solo series of Wolverine.
@@k.delpino1124 Tan and brown is the best Wolverine costume. Yellow is way too silly-looking. There's a reason they changed it early on in his history. Tan and brown is even what he wore on the cover of the famous X-Men #1 by Jim Lee.
I really enjoy this movie but the 3rd act feels so disconnected from the first 2. It feels like a completely different movie. Hugh is an absolute beast in this movie
@@Manofsteel1701-f4r Agreed, it's 2/3 of a good movie. If the Silver Samurai had been left closer to the comics (as shown with Shingen) it would have made for a better climax.
@@AmbaryernoAgreed. I hated what they did with Silver Samurai. Made him look like a CGI Shredder from TMNT versus the character in the comics. That whole sequence was just weak AF compared to the rest of the film.
THis movie was somewhat based on a four-part Wolverine miniseries from '82. Logan goes to Japan because Mariko is in danger (he knew her from a previous X-Men issue and he's fluent in Japanese). She's marrying a bad guy and Yukio is helping him and there's some jealousy and awesome fights. From it came the line "I'm the best there is at what I do, and what I do best isn't very nice." Written by long time X-Men writer Chris Claremont and art by Frank Miller who also worked on Daredevil, Batman, and created the his own comic book Sin City.
I don't know why, but the Jean scenes just cut so deep emotionally. Yukio teary eyes when Logan reaches in for the thing attached his heart. And something she says, that becomes relevant much later hits so hard.
I really enjoyed this one. The director's cut is an even better version... They cut the big ninja brawl when he gets to the city in the third act (before all the arrows) ... among other things.
The Wolverine characters first Appearances: The Wolverine - *The Incredible Hulk **#180** (1974)* Yukio - *Wolverine #2 (1982)* Mariko Yashida - *The Uncanny X-Men **#118** (1979)* Kenuichio Harada | Silver Samurai - *Daredevil **#111** (1974)* Viper - *Captain America **#110** (1969)* Most of the character featured in this film were created for the film but these five including Wolverine of course are from the comics. Yukio being from the comic this film is based on along with Mariko as well. Harada who uses a bow throughout the film is the Silver Samurai in the comics who has past history with Wolverine.
Also in the comics, his first wife was this Japanese woman who was killed by the winter soldier & also had a son. He was taught by a master who crafted the Muramasa blade which is the only thing that can kill him.
There's one reason I love your reaction channel over others. I love the honest unscripted reactions that make me believe the "first time watching" tag. A lot of reactors I've seen seem like they're reading from a script.
This movie really digs deeper about Logan’s purpose after he left the team. With so many years of life being filled with nothing but pain and torment, one can only go so far before they snap. With this adventure with the Yashida family, he realizes that although he truly has suffered enough by remaining unchanged while he saw many around him age and die, Logan understands that he can still have reasons to live and to keep fighting for those who can’t do the things like he can. What amazes is how Japan was annihilated twice with those atomic bombings and yet, after more than 70 years, the land had replenish itself like the coming and going of a season. Like the Phoenix, it rose from the ashes to become something better, something stronger; thus showing that nature can bring back what man destroys. If we somehow straight up disappear altogether, the Earth can truly revert to its former glory, with some changes left behind by us. See you two next time.
The atomic bombs actually didn’t do all that much destruction to Japan in the grand scheme of things. What was scary was the power they represented. But what Japan actually had to build itself up from was the carpet bombings of most of the biggest cities, especially with fire bombs.
@@jedijones No threat like that were given before Japan surrendered. It was probably a fear from their side, but the biggest reason for the japanese surrender was the imminent threat of invasion from the Soviets from the lowly guarded north. It also would hsve been impossible to just start to carpet bomb ss there was no nukes left and production was very slow.
FYI: Wolverines are know as "the jacked-up honey badger on steroids". They are about the size of a medium dog, and can weigh up to 66 lbs. They possess ferocity and strength far out of proportion to their size. They even prey on bison, moose, & elk. The largest documented wolverine kill was a 1,800 lbs adult male moose. Wolverines usually avoid bears, wolves, and cougars (who can kill them) but they have also driven those predators away from food or territory.
The family of mustelids (weasels, honey badgers, badgers, wolverines, etc) are all imbued with an anger more akin to T-rex with inflamed teeth. Thick but floppy skin to boot which makes them super tough to bite through, and they can squirm around in their skin to almost turn 180° if bitten with the typical neck hold used by other predators. This allows them to retaliate with claws and teeth while being held in a supposedly firm hold. If you want to see a funny story about a honey badger taking on LIONS (plural), check out the story of the honey badger Stoffel in Africa.
@@RustyDust101 Yeah, all mustelids are impressive. Evolutionarily speaking, the really big predators all filled up the "large predator niche" first. So in order to compete as predators with "The Big Guys", the mustelids countered by evolving: - increased intelligence for adaptability, - increased potential ferocity and aggression, - a wide variety of sizes within the same family, - off-the-charts increased stamina, - increased durability and defense with thicker, more loose skin - increased pound for pound strength. - a "Never give up. Never surrender" attitude with a tenaciously aggressive defense
@@RustyDust101 Stoffel got his gut split open by the lion though. His keeper had to nurse him back to health for months. It was still an impressive thing to heal from, in keeping with the Wolverine tradition.
@@jettnorr Wolverines are superior predators to their little cousin honey badgers in nearly every way. They are known as "The jacked up honey badger on steroids" for good reason.
Do you guys even have Tasmania devils in America at zoos just curious, There natural habitat obviously is the island state of Australia Tasmania but few can be found in the wild on mainland Australia to
You both should totally check out Hugh Jackman in Van Helsing 2004 with Kate Beckinsale! Amazing film! Love to you both from my mom and I in Southern California USA 🇺🇸
One thing they got so wrong in this film is Wolverine using his claws while his healing factor was suppressed. Ordinarily his flesh regenerates every time he extends them, but without it functioning properly his knuckles should have been turned into a raw bloody mess.
His healing appeared to still be partially working. His claw extending wounds would be fairly minor compared to what else he suffered while suppressed.
There are two meanings to the word 'Kuzeri' (its a homonym) 1. Medicine 2. Wolverine. It is left as an exercise for the student to determine which term applies.
In the comics, Mariko Yashida is most famous as Wolverine's wife. The woman he found peace and happiness with for a time while he was living in Japan. Logan and Mariko also become the adoptive parents to a girl named Amiko. And Yukio eventually becomes Amiko's guardian/2nd adoptive mother. Given the way this movie ends with Wolverine and Mariko CLEARLY having a strong romantic connection, and Wolverine and Yukio traveling around together, COMBINED WITH the fact that this is more or less the last time we ever see THIS version of Wolverine on this timeline, we are pretty much free to assume whatever we want, and can assume that Mariko and Wolverine continue to see each other and get married, and that they eventually adopt Amiko. It can all fit safely within the framework provided by these movies, if you so wish.
@@LuminairPrime Well, the movies imply that Magneto fixes his claws, given that we don't seem to see them take the time for Mariko to do it, and we jump to Magneto at the airport, and then to DOFP where Wolverine has his adamantium claws again alongside Magneto. But it IS technically possible that she could do it too.
@@ieyke I don't think the movies intentional imply Magneto fixed the claws. Mariko does have his claws and the technology to manufacture adamantium parts, and she loves Logan and his claws, so that's the no-brainer to me. The claws are her kink lol, after they fucked she was rubbing them. I think she fixed them ASAP. In any case, while the fixed claws are not explained, it's easy to imagine ways for them to be fixed.
The storyline with Logan going to Japan in the comics is excellent. There's even a mini-series (6 issue series) with Wolverine and Kitty Pryde (the one that walks through walls) that goes into Wolverines history in Japan as well. The bonding that goes on between Kitty and Logan is really good. Cheers.
Just so you know, there was a famous album by the band, the Moody Blues, called "Days of Future Passed." That's where the next X-Men story gets its name, though there's zero relation, just grabbing the title of a well-known music album and changing it a little ("past" instead of "passed").
@@tahirahshabazz50 Not sure what or why you are condemning. But others who had not made the connection before have told me they appreciated the reference.
Loved the reaction and as a few others are saying, I highly recommend the Rogue Cut on the next one. It’s the complete version of the film and is just way more satisfying.
X-Men Origins - Wolverine was set before the first X Men movie. This one is set after X-Men 3 (where he had to defeat Jean/Phoenix) - but includes flashbacks to the 1940s This one is one of my favourites out of all of the films - and Logan is just a masterclass in storytelling.
50 years ago, Wolverine debuted in Marvel Comics from an appearance with The Incredible Hulk to a newly recruited member with the X--Men. But in 1982, his first-ever solo series by Frank Miller (300, Sin City) and Chris Claremont (1970s X-Men) defined the character of Logan. His story was set in Japan and Logan's life was likened to that of an Ronin (samurai with no master). He has the heart to stand against opposition, but is still learning/finding a direction in life. The film uses elements from the solo series and set long after the events of X3:The Last Stand. This is Hugh Jackman's 2nd film with director James Mangold following the romantic comedy, Kate & Leopold (2001). Struggling with Jean's death, finding his place in the world and losing his healing temporarily is the most drama. The action, romance, suspense, intrigue of being a Gajin (outsider) caught in someone else's battle really feels like the comics. 2 of the antagoniss;Viper is originally human and known as Madame Hydra in the Captain America comics. Yashida in the Silver Samurai suit is based on the Silver Samurai and Ogun characters/known Wolverine villains. A really good sequel, rightfully steps ahead of and more loved than X-Men Origins:Wolverine. But both Logan & Professor X (solo/together) would soon face even greater obstacles. The evolution was not over and I personally couldn't wait to see so much more in this universe.
Great synopsis I remember reading the Frank Miller solo book as a trade paperback when it was published. A couple of days ago I bought and now reading *Wolverine Origin by Paul Jenkins and Andy Kubert.* Interesting book describing young James Howlett's life then becoming Logan.
Greetings Carly and Cassie The reason (in theory) why Logan can remember his WWII past is because as he regenerates, he builds up new pathways to "old" memories. In reality (according to most neurology doctors) memories are not really lost, just the pathways or accessibility to them is "broken or lost". It is like hiding a photo album somewhere in your house or property, you might forget where it is, but the photo album does NOT cease to exist where it was stored or buried. So, if another regeneration or 'trauma' causes new pathways to a memory (map), then a 'lost memory' will resurface and be 'remembered' unexpectedly. The doctor 'poisoned' him in order to sedate him and then take his power to save the old man. She did not put too much in because she did not want to kill or taint his blood enough to affect the "surgery' she was planning. This is why she is video taking him during the funeral fight scene to analyze her 'poison' was affecting him. However, Logan was still healing, just at a slower rate because she introduced a mutant foreign agent in his blood system. Unfortunately, they then switched it to a mechanical 'parasite' much like in the first "Matrix" film. Without a conscious effort, Stan Lee's creation of Logan / Wolverine is largely the reason X-Men has become so popular. By most statistical metrics, Wolverine is the MOST popular mutant. This is the prime reason most X-Men movies revolve around this character, not only in this franchise, but also in the comics, for the most part. "...to live forever with no reason to live" is technically, incorrect. Because he is having "memory" problems and he can't foretell the future, he is unaware (to this point) why he is SO IMPORTANT to the survival and victory of the mutant and human existence. This is, in part, because Lee had not yet written / decided how far to take his worth to the overall arc of 'Mutant' history. Unfortunately, we lost him way toooo soon for him determine the final trajectory. Now it is up to present and future illustrators and writers to decide his path and destiny. One of the problems I have with the "Logan" film (and probably the Deadpool 3" film) is that they continue to age him, which violate both the theory they setup in the previous film and that from the comics. Logan CAN'T (or shouldn't be able) age past a mid 30s age appearance and his abilities [should just] continue to improve.
She (Yukio) does. She is a clairvoyant and a master martial arts. The real talent of her gift is told in a conversation in the car. *_"I saw you die i see you on your back. There's blood everywhere, I see you holding your heart in your hand!"_* 26:29 Referring to Logan dying in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, with the adamantium bonding process. The man who was James Howlett died that day when he volunteered to be a weapon. When he became Logan. Reborn as The Wolverine. The "heart" he's holding in his hand, you will see in Logan. No spoilers. There's another analogy, but I will reserve it for Logan. Also some timey-whimey alternate multiversal stuff. In an upcoming team up meeting next month.
I share that thought. I did watch this movie in theaters twice to see the end credit scene again on the big screen though. It still my favorite end credits scene.
It pays off in this film. They had no intention of that prophecy carrying over to another film. A lot of fan cannon happens during this era of comic book movies.
The crazy thing about Viper? In the comics, ‘Viper’ was an alternative codename used by the woman who also went by the codename Madame Hydra…lover of, of all people, RED SKULL.
Viper AKA "Dr. Green" is given a poorly explained role in this movie. Normally, her real name should be Ophelia Sarkeesian AKA Madame Hydra. As her alternate codename implies, she's one of the leaders of HYDRA. Since Fox didn't have the rights to actually USE HYDRA in the X-Men movies, her role as Madame Hydra can only be assumed. In the comics, HYDRA is an offshoot of the ninja clan known as The Hand. Of course HYDRA then becomes super Nazis and battles Captain America. But HYDRA and The Hand still retain some connections. So, it's sort of implied here that Madame Hydra/Viper is using her Nazi super science to manipulate this ninja clan and Mr. Yoshida, in order to get a shot at stealing Wolverine's healing powers and immortality for HYDRA, and using Yoshida's wealth and stockpile of adamantium to prepare to build adamantium weapons for HYDRA. We see that she's CLEARLY pulling the strings here throughout the whole movie, but we never fully understand her motives, unless we just accept that she's simply ONLY working for Yoshida.....despite being SO manipulative and seemingly pulling all the strings. I find it best to just ASSUME that her role as a leader of HYDRA is intact in this movie, even though Fox couldn't legally refer directly to it. And Wolverine is part of Captain America's legacy. All the experiments done to him were in the name of attempting to find alternate ways to replicate the success of Captain America's Super Soldier process. And the Adamantium that coats his bones was developed as a failed attempt to replicate the Vibranium-Steel alloy that makes up Captain America's shield. Captain America was essentially created by SHIELD. It only makes sense that SHIELD's ultimate enemy, HYDRA. would eventually come to haunt Wolverine too. 🤷♂ It's allllll tied together in a complex tapestry.
Great concise and illuminating NON-SPOILER history, @ieyke! It really sheds a ton of light n gives context and how this lady villain figures so largely out of the "green" in the movie! Now I know! And wanna know more! Way to inform smartly! Wish all comments did this! Hail IEYKE!
Yeah I was one of the dummies that missed the post-credits scene. I did figure it out when Days of Future Past came out. Lol. Respect for keeping Xavier dead for more than six years. That's actually pretty impressive for such a big franchise with one of their iconic characters. And this one had some solid, fast-paced action.
1. I can't wait for them to get to Deadpool. 2. I almost feel guilty for looking forward to them getting to Deadpool. 3. *At least there's a love story for Cassie* ❤
Response to this movie was initially poor, because Logan's adventure in Japan (the 1982 4-part miniseries) is one of the most beloved comics of all time, and they didn't use any of it.
15:38 -- that's not a candy shop but a Pachinko parlor. An arcade "game" that's so Japanese I won't even start trying to explain it. For some reason they love it over there.
This film is primarily based on Chris Claremont's and Frank Miller's legendary 1982 "Wolverine" miniseries. It was Claremont and Miller who introduced many central aspects of Logan's character in this book, after his first appearance in Incredible Hulk #180 (1974) and formally joining the X-Men in Len Wein's 1975 Giant-Sized X-Men. There's NO WAY Logan could have known what was sort of bomb was about to be dropped. The existence and decision to drop the atomic bombs was kept SO secret, that when USS Indianapolis, the cruiser tasked with delivering critical components of the bombs to the American airbase on Tinian, was sunk by a Japanese submarine, she wasn't even acknowledged to be missing for several days after she failed to arrive at her intended destination (when you watched Jaws, this was the ship Quint had served on, and he mentioned in his monologue about the sharks. Although in real life, most of the dead succumbed to dehydration, exposure, or wounds sustained when Indianapolis was torpedoed. The sharks primarily focused on the men who were already dead, not the survivors). Also, Logan would not have fought in the Allied invasion of Normandy, (as shown in X-Men Origins) and then been deployed in the Pacific at the end of the War in the first place. Although many units were planned to be deployed for the pending invasion of Japan before the bombs were dropped, none had actually departed Europe by the time Japan surrendered, and no other US Army units served in both theaters (and no Marines served in Europe at all). Yeah, that hole would not have been enough to shield them from the explosion. They would have been flash-fried extra crispy. EVERYONE liked Yukio in this. In the original book Yukio was NOT a mutant. She first appeared in the Claremont miniseries, and was actually conceived as a love interest for STORM (Chris Claremont definitely had a thing for queer relationships, ESPECIALLY when it came to women. Practically every woman he wrote was coded as at LEAST bi, and as I mentioned on X2, he originally intended Mystique to have been Nightcrawler's FATHER). However Jim Shooter, the Editor In Chief at the time, refused to allow same-sex couples on his tenure. In the books she's a ronin, and although she often works for the Yashida clan, it's as a mercenary. Viper is played by Svetlana Khodchenkova. But with the mask she DOES sort of look like Heigel. The Black Clan of this film is a stand-in for the Hand. Because of how the film rights worked out the X-Men films couldn't use them, so they became the Black Clan. The first two acts are by FAR the strongest. It's a very neo-noir sort of mystery, with shades of the films of Ozu, and The Outlaw Josey Wales. Logan's healing factor has undergone some SIGNIFICANT power creep since his first appearance. Originally, while Logan healed faster and more completely than normal people, injuries could still leave him crippled for days, if not weeks until he recovered. It was only later (around the 90s) that it got to the point where he could heal from fatal injury in moments. Ironically, Logan's healing being slowed in this film actually brings him closer in line to what his capabilities were in the original Claremont and Miller book than they ever were in the films. Harada is the original Silver Samurai. Japanese swords could absolutely be used one-handed. The legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi's entire fighting style centered around the daisho; dual-wielding the pairing of the katana and wakizashi. Mariko Yashida is probably Logan's most long-running love interest, and arguably the love of his life. Their relationship has been a bit off-and-on, not helped by Mariko dying and being resurrected once or twice. It's the movies (and the 1992 animated series) that are responsible for people believing he and Jean had this great star-crossed romance. In truth, in the books whatever Logan felt for Jean, Jean did not completely reciprocate. "How did you know there was a pool?" "I didn't." This joke has been used in SOOOOO many movies, lol. One of the most famous comes from the final Sean Connery Bond film, Diamonds Are Forever, when a gangster threw secondary Bond Girl Plenty O'Toole out a window, not knowing it was above a pool. There's an alternate unrated cut of the film where the battle with the Black Clan is longer and considerably more violent. The third act is without question the weakest part of the film, mostly because of the goofy mecha battle. The Silver Samurai of the books is MUCH closer to the depiction of Shingen's armor, not the glorified Iron Man suit. The fight with Shingen was awesome. The fight with Ichiro Yashida was excessive over the top CGI silliness. I honestly don't know why Logan didn't just put up his claws, and instead allowed Yashida to cut them off. Plot-Induced Stupidity. True story: Deadpool actually received his own healing factor from Logan in the comics, though not QUITE in the way it happens here. There's an alternate cut of the final scene with Logan and Yukio on the plane, where she gifts Logan his iconic brown and yellow suit. Magneto has gone through a few Heel - Face / and Face - Heel Turns over the course of the books. Generally these day he's more often on the darker end of the Anti-Hero spectrum, and his "kill all humans" ideology has MOSTLY subsided. Days of Future Past is based on another iconic Claremont story. It's also considered one of the best films in the X-Men franchise, and among the best movies of ANY superhero franchise.
@@MontgomeryWenis Another interesting fact is that honey badgers are technically misnamed. Their Mustelid Subfamily Mellivorinae is closer related to Subfamily Guloninae (martens, tayra, fisher, wolverine) than it is to any of the other 3 badger Subfamilies.

His trauma would have destroyed him, just as any other person, but his body keeps him going. It's basically what happens to all of us in real life just that his life is much more extreme. A person gets traumatized in war, it gets locked away if they can't handle it so the person can live in. Even when, tragically, children experience extreme trauma they lock the worst of it away to continue on, albeit it tends to alter their lives more since it is during developmental periods of life.
@@jessecortez9449 I am totally supportive of this theory BUT it is a contributing factor not the sole factor. The reason for Logan's memory loss is a whole bunch of little (and big) things. Just as the restoration of his memory will be.
We are so close to days of futures past ❤❤
Definitely the best Xmen movie and a top 5 Marvel movie
Cannot WAIT!!!!😊
My all time favorite!
Days of Future Past next! Imo it's the best in the series, and one of the greatest superhero movies ever made.
The reason this story works so well (like the comic it is inspired by) is because Wolverine is a Ronin himself. He has outlived the war that created him and now wanders alone, using his skills for justice and atoning for past sins.
Now, Days of Future Past. But I prefer Rogue Cut. It shows everything.
Would certainly love to see them react to both.
Rogue Cut 100%
@@osmanyousif7849 let me get this straight: you would unironically want them to post separate reactions to 2 versions of the same movie that are only 15 minutes different?
This weird Rogue Cut worshipping cult needs to stop fr 😂
There’s an alternative ending, where Logan’s bodyguard gives him a suitcase on the plane. In the case is a yellow and blue spandex suit, like the original X-men suits from the comics. The Wolverine in the trailer for Deadpool 3 wears a similar outfit.
It's the famous end scene.
It's not the blue and yellow suit in the case.
It's the other iconic suit which is tan and brown.
First introduced in the 1982 limited solo series of Wolverine.
th-cam.com/video/M4E0fDhGc40/w-d-xo.html
@@k.delpino1124 Tan and brown is the best Wolverine costume. Yellow is way too silly-looking. There's a reason they changed it early on in his history. Tan and brown is even what he wore on the cover of the famous X-Men #1 by Jim Lee.
@@jedijones yes i know the history.
But the Tan & Brown suit was in that scene.
28:05 Pretty sure that's deliberate homage to the James Bond film "Diamonds Are Forever". Nicely done.
41:07 His metal claws were sliced off, but the rest of his skeleton is still coated with adamantium, so Magneto can still control his body.
James Mangold just knows how to write for Wolverine, perfect dark drama and action mix. Love this one!
This japan story line was right from the first wolverine comics but heavily changed for the movie
I really enjoy this movie but the 3rd act feels so disconnected from the first 2. It feels like a completely different movie. Hugh is an absolute beast in this movie
I believe this movie is a loose adaptation of Frank Miller's The Wolverine mini series.
@@Manofsteel1701-f4r Agreed, it's 2/3 of a good movie. If the Silver Samurai had been left closer to the comics (as shown with Shingen) it would have made for a better climax.
@@imahoare4742 Don't forget Claremont was on that book.
@@AmbaryernoAgreed. I hated what they did with Silver Samurai. Made him look like a CGI Shredder from TMNT versus the character in the comics. That whole sequence was just weak AF compared to the rest of the film.
Waking up from a nightmare into another nightmare is legit one of the scariest things your brain can do to you.
41:15 I think this reaction from Cassie is compounded by her greater appreciation for Patrick Stewart over the last few months.
"Hi Yukio!"
A reference that won't be made clear on this channel for a while yet.
THis movie was somewhat based on a four-part Wolverine miniseries from '82. Logan goes to Japan because Mariko is in danger (he knew her from a previous X-Men issue and he's fluent in Japanese). She's marrying a bad guy and Yukio is helping him and there's some jealousy and awesome fights. From it came the line "I'm the best there is at what I do, and what I do best isn't very nice." Written by long time X-Men writer Chris Claremont and art by Frank Miller who also worked on Daredevil, Batman, and created the his own comic book Sin City.
i liked The Wolverine too! my gosh Tao Okamoto is gorgeous.
also Days of Future Past is an awesome ride. can't wait. enjoy, Ladies.
Man, I never realized she was the same woman from Batman v Superman until you said her name just now.
I don't know why, but the Jean scenes just cut so deep emotionally. Yukio teary eyes when Logan reaches in for the thing attached his heart. And something she says, that becomes relevant much later hits so hard.
I really enjoyed this one. The director's cut is an even better version... They cut the big ninja brawl when he gets to the city in the third act (before all the arrows) ... among other things.
It’s been said a couple times, but PLEASE do The Rogue Cut of Days of Futures Past. It’s an infinitely better version of the film
@ChadB1988
INFINITELY BETTER CUT?
GTFOH
It’s the plan because Dofp isn’t on Disney +
@@dmichael1172 Is this a U.S thing because It's on Disney + for me along with Logan as well?
Actually, neither version is on Disney Plus at the moment. At least here in the States. Chad’s right, though. The extended cut is way better.
@@nintenmetro I knew that but if the theater version was on Disney + she probably had watched the theater version
I love ‘The Wolverine’. It’s an underrated masterpiece.
The Wolverine characters first Appearances:
The Wolverine - *The Incredible Hulk **#180** (1974)*
Yukio - *Wolverine #2 (1982)*
Mariko Yashida - *The Uncanny X-Men **#118** (1979)*
Kenuichio Harada | Silver Samurai - *Daredevil **#111** (1974)*
Viper - *Captain America **#110** (1969)*
Most of the character featured in this film were created for the film but these five including Wolverine of course are from the comics. Yukio being from the comic this film is based on along with Mariko as well. Harada who uses a bow throughout the film is the Silver Samurai in the comics who has past history with Wolverine.
Not in this movie but *the first appearance of Sabertooth was Marvels Iron Fist #14 published August 1977.*
Edit: Fixed a typo.
Also in the comics, his first wife was this Japanese woman who was killed by the winter soldier & also had a son. He was taught by a master who crafted the Muramasa blade which is the only thing that can kill him.
There's one reason I love your reaction channel over others. I love the honest unscripted reactions that make me believe the "first time watching" tag. A lot of reactors I've seen seem like they're reading from a script.
26:44 remember that line ladies!
Logan isn't a bear either. Omg.😂 He's a wolverine. Y'all are Canadian. You should know what a wolverine is.
Hugh Jackman didn't know either for a while. lol
"Y'all are Canadian. You should know what a wolverine is." Haha, you got a point.
@@ct6852 Oh I'm well aware. He thought it was a mythical animal until awhile after he was cast. Hilarious stuff.
It's in the bear family ain't it?
@@videostash413 no, it's the largest animal in the mustelidae family.
This movie really digs deeper about Logan’s purpose after he left the team. With so many years of life being filled with nothing but pain and torment, one can only go so far before they snap. With this adventure with the Yashida family, he realizes that although he truly has suffered enough by remaining unchanged while he saw many around him age and die, Logan understands that he can still have reasons to live and to keep fighting for those who can’t do the things like he can. What amazes is how Japan was annihilated twice with those atomic bombings and yet, after more than 70 years, the land had replenish itself like the coming and going of a season. Like the Phoenix, it rose from the ashes to become something better, something stronger; thus showing that nature can bring back what man destroys. If we somehow straight up disappear altogether, the Earth can truly revert to its former glory, with some changes left behind by us. See you two next time.
The atomic bombs actually didn’t do all that much destruction to Japan in the grand scheme of things. What was scary was the power they represented. But what Japan actually had to build itself up from was the carpet bombings of most of the biggest cities, especially with fire bombs.
@@Dragonpuncher123 We were threatening to carpet bomb with more nukes if they didn't surrender though.
@@jedijones No threat like that were given before Japan surrendered. It was probably a fear from their side, but the biggest reason for the japanese surrender was the imminent threat of invasion from the Soviets from the lowly guarded north. It also would hsve been impossible to just start to carpet bomb ss there was no nukes left and production was very slow.
Deadpool will make Cassie laugh like mad and blush uncontrollably
I think she’s going to have some trouble with DP, but I’m definitely looking forward to it🤣
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192Oh boy, ready the liquor.
The bear looking at Logan, giving a little grunt, then peeing on the tree made me happy.
FYI: Wolverines are know as "the jacked-up honey badger on steroids". They are about the size of a medium dog, and can weigh up to 66 lbs. They possess ferocity and strength far out of proportion to their size. They even prey on bison, moose, & elk. The largest documented wolverine kill was a 1,800 lbs adult male moose. Wolverines usually avoid bears, wolves, and cougars (who can kill them) but they have also driven those predators away from food or territory.
They've also got absolutely insane jaws, able to crunch through bones and tear apart carrion that been frozen solid
The family of mustelids (weasels, honey badgers, badgers, wolverines, etc) are all imbued with an anger more akin to T-rex with inflamed teeth. Thick but floppy skin to boot which makes them super tough to bite through, and they can squirm around in their skin to almost turn 180° if bitten with the typical neck hold used by other predators. This allows them to retaliate with claws and teeth while being held in a supposedly firm hold.
If you want to see a funny story about a honey badger taking on LIONS (plural), check out the story of the honey badger Stoffel in Africa.
@@RustyDust101 Yeah, all mustelids are impressive. Evolutionarily speaking, the really big predators all filled up the "large predator niche" first.
So in order to compete as predators with "The Big Guys", the mustelids countered by evolving:
- increased intelligence for adaptability,
- increased potential ferocity and aggression,
- a wide variety of sizes within the same family,
- off-the-charts increased stamina,
- increased durability and defense with thicker, more loose skin
- increased pound for pound strength.
- a "Never give up. Never surrender" attitude with a tenaciously aggressive defense
“Are they… ill-tempered?”
- Dr. Evil
@@RustyDust101 Stoffel got his gut split open by the lion though. His keeper had to nurse him back to health for months. It was still an impressive thing to heal from, in keeping with the Wolverine tradition.
Hey, a Wolverine is closer to the cartoon Tasmanian Devil than it is a bear…. It’s a muscle-badger but goes berserk when threatened.
Honey Badger don't care
@@jettnorr Wolverines are superior predators to their little cousin honey badgers in nearly every way. They are known as "The jacked up honey badger on steroids" for good reason.
Muscle Badger is a great description
Do you guys even have Tasmania devils in America at zoos just curious, There natural habitat obviously is the island state of Australia Tasmania but few can be found in the wild on mainland Australia to
@@TopTwom Muscle weasel is better. Wolverines are not badgers, but both wolverines and badgers are weasels.
You both should totally check out Hugh Jackman in Van Helsing 2004 with Kate Beckinsale! Amazing film! Love to you both from my mom and I in Southern California USA 🇺🇸
An excellent popcorn movie. Fun fun fun. 🍿
@@thatHARVguy Always :)
One thing they got so wrong in this film is Wolverine using his claws while his healing factor was suppressed. Ordinarily his flesh regenerates every time he extends them, but without it functioning properly his knuckles should have been turned into a raw bloody mess.
His healing appeared to still be partially working. His claw extending wounds would be fairly minor compared to what else he suffered while suppressed.
He still regenerated, just more slowly
In the comics, Logan's bone claws are actually sharper than the ones covered in adamantium. It just hurts whenever they break and have to grow back.
This is my favorite of the films. The storyline is perfect.
Next is "Days of Future's Past".
But please watch the Rouge Cut Version.
There are two meanings to the word 'Kuzeri' (its a homonym) 1. Medicine 2. Wolverine. It is left as an exercise for the student to determine which term applies.
In the comics, Mariko Yashida is most famous as Wolverine's wife.
The woman he found peace and happiness with for a time while he was living in Japan.
Logan and Mariko also become the adoptive parents to a girl named Amiko.
And Yukio eventually becomes Amiko's guardian/2nd adoptive mother.
Given the way this movie ends with Wolverine and Mariko CLEARLY having a strong romantic connection, and Wolverine and Yukio traveling around together, COMBINED WITH the fact that this is more or less the last time we ever see THIS version of Wolverine on this timeline, we are pretty much free to assume whatever we want, and can assume that Mariko and Wolverine continue to see each other and get married, and that they eventually adopt Amiko.
It can all fit safely within the framework provided by these movies, if you so wish.
I agree. She also fixes his claws for him. The time skip in Days of Future Past is so far that anything is possible in that time.
@@LuminairPrime Well, the movies imply that Magneto fixes his claws, given that we don't seem to see them take the time for Mariko to do it, and we jump to Magneto at the airport, and then to DOFP where Wolverine has his adamantium claws again alongside Magneto.
But it IS technically possible that she could do it too.
@@ieyke I don't think the movies intentional imply Magneto fixed the claws. Mariko does have his claws and the technology to manufacture adamantium parts, and she loves Logan and his claws, so that's the no-brainer to me. The claws are her kink lol, after they fucked she was rubbing them. I think she fixed them ASAP. In any case, while the fixed claws are not explained, it's easy to imagine ways for them to be fixed.
I didn't think Logan and Mariko ever actually married. They were engaged at one point, but things happened, and then Mariko died a couple times.
@@Ambaryerno You might technically be right.
The storyline with Logan going to Japan in the comics is excellent. There's even a mini-series (6 issue series) with Wolverine and Kitty Pryde (the one that walks through walls) that goes into Wolverines history in Japan as well. The bonding that goes on between Kitty and Logan is really good. Cheers.
Just so you know, there was a famous album by the band, the Moody Blues, called "Days of Future Passed." That's where the next X-Men story gets its name, though there's zero relation, just grabbing the title of a well-known music album and changing it a little ("past" instead of "passed").
Just so you know what I’m saying has no relevance. But I like talking so. 🤷🏽♀️
@@tahirahshabazz50 Not sure what or why you are condemning. But others who had not made the connection before have told me they appreciated the reference.
Loved the reaction and as a few others are saying, I highly recommend the Rogue Cut on the next one. It’s the complete version of the film and is just way more satisfying.
ALREADY looking forward to counting the amount of *"fricks" and "OH MY GOSH's"* when these ladies get to Deadpool. Im predicting at least 88 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 yes! Maybe more tho... 😂😂😂😂
She already watched Deadpool
X-Men Origins - Wolverine was set before the first X Men movie.
This one is set after X-Men 3 (where he had to defeat Jean/Phoenix) - but includes flashbacks to the 1940s
This one is one of my favourites out of all of the films - and Logan is just a masterclass in storytelling.
50 years ago, Wolverine debuted in Marvel Comics from an appearance with The Incredible Hulk to a newly recruited member with the X--Men.
But in 1982, his first-ever solo series by Frank Miller (300, Sin City) and Chris Claremont (1970s X-Men) defined the character of Logan.
His story was set in Japan and Logan's life was likened to that of an Ronin (samurai with no master).
He has the heart to stand against opposition, but is still learning/finding a direction in life.
The film uses elements from the solo series and set long after the events of X3:The Last Stand.
This is Hugh Jackman's 2nd film with director James Mangold following the romantic comedy, Kate & Leopold (2001).
Struggling with Jean's death, finding his place in the world and losing his healing temporarily is the most drama.
The action, romance, suspense, intrigue of being a Gajin (outsider) caught in someone else's battle really feels like the comics.
2 of the antagoniss;Viper is originally human and known as Madame Hydra in the Captain America comics.
Yashida in the Silver Samurai suit is based on the Silver Samurai and Ogun characters/known Wolverine villains.
A really good sequel, rightfully steps ahead of and more loved than X-Men Origins:Wolverine.
But both Logan & Professor X (solo/together) would soon face even greater obstacles.
The evolution was not over and I personally couldn't wait to see so much more in this universe.
Great synopsis I remember reading the Frank Miller solo book as a trade paperback when it was published. A couple of days ago I bought and now reading *Wolverine Origin by Paul Jenkins and Andy Kubert.* Interesting book describing young James Howlett's life then becoming Logan.
"The GANG's back together!" - Carly
BWAHAHAHAHAAHA😆
3:47: it is a form of honorable suicide called "seppuku."
Greetings Carly and Cassie
The reason (in theory) why Logan can remember his WWII past is because as he regenerates, he builds up new pathways to "old" memories. In reality (according to most neurology doctors) memories are not really lost, just the pathways or accessibility to them is "broken or lost". It is like hiding a photo album somewhere in your house or property, you might forget where it is, but the photo album does NOT cease to exist where it was stored or buried. So, if another regeneration or 'trauma' causes new pathways to a memory (map), then a 'lost memory' will resurface and be 'remembered' unexpectedly.
The doctor 'poisoned' him in order to sedate him and then take his power to save the old man. She did not put too much in because she did not want to kill or taint his blood enough to affect the "surgery' she was planning. This is why she is video taking him during the funeral fight scene to analyze her 'poison' was affecting him. However, Logan was still healing, just at a slower rate because she introduced a mutant foreign agent in his blood system. Unfortunately, they then switched it to a mechanical 'parasite' much like in the first "Matrix" film.
Without a conscious effort, Stan Lee's creation of Logan / Wolverine is largely the reason X-Men has become so popular. By most statistical metrics, Wolverine is the MOST popular mutant. This is the prime reason most X-Men movies revolve around this character, not only in this franchise, but also in the comics, for the most part.
"...to live forever with no reason to live" is technically, incorrect. Because he is having "memory" problems and he can't foretell the future, he is unaware (to this point) why he is SO IMPORTANT to the survival and victory of the mutant and human existence. This is, in part, because Lee had not yet written / decided how far to take his worth to the overall arc of 'Mutant' history. Unfortunately, we lost him way toooo soon for him determine the final trajectory. Now it is up to present and future illustrators and writers to decide his path and destiny.
One of the problems I have with the "Logan" film (and probably the Deadpool 3" film) is that they continue to age him, which violate both the theory they setup in the previous film and that from the comics. Logan CAN'T (or shouldn't be able) age past a mid 30s age appearance and his abilities [should just] continue to improve.
Please remember the line “on your back, blood everywhere…you’re holding your heart in your hand.”
😢 don't do this to me!
Yeah, it comes up again.....
17:13 He still has his adamantium skeleton, a head shot would bounce off.
25:51 Same thing, steel skeleton, unbreakable bones
But the impact from the bullet would cause a concussion which caused long-term brain damage
Please, for the next movie, Days of future past, react to the Rogue Cut
Strongly Agree. It shows everything.
Strongly agree!
She (Yukio) does. She is a clairvoyant and a master martial arts. The real talent of her gift is told in a conversation in the car.
*_"I saw you die i see you on your back. There's blood everywhere, I see you holding your heart in your hand!"_*
26:29
Referring to Logan dying in X-Men
Origins: Wolverine, with the adamantium bonding process. The man who was James Howlett died that day when he volunteered to be a weapon. When he became Logan. Reborn as The Wolverine.
The "heart" he's holding in his hand, you will see in Logan. No spoilers.
There's another analogy, but I will reserve it for Logan.
Also some timey-whimey alternate multiversal stuff. In an upcoming team up meeting next month.
Personally, and I'm probably going to upset some people here, I thought this film was okay but boy the one after this,DOFP, is amazing.
Yeah dofp actually felt like a true X-Men story
I share that thought. I did watch this movie in theaters twice to see the end credit scene again on the big screen though. It still my favorite end credits scene.
DoFP is awesome. This movie kinda sucks. Origins gets a lot of hate, but while it has some very stupid scenes, this one is way worse.
Glad you guys enjoyed this one. Days Of Future Past is great too!
Logan's memories weren't completely wiped.
False memories were implanted however.
He is Wolverine. Your reactions are so great. You two during the train scene! 😂
26:43 No spoilers, but Yukio’s prophecy will pay off later on 🥺😢
Ouch!! Ohhh God I cried so hard in the theater.
It pays off in this film. They had no intention of that prophecy carrying over to another film. A lot of fan cannon happens during this era of comic book movies.
The crazy thing about Viper? In the comics, ‘Viper’ was an alternative codename used by the woman who also went by the codename Madame Hydra…lover of, of all people, RED SKULL.
What's not to love?
Viper AKA "Dr. Green" is given a poorly explained role in this movie.
Normally, her real name should be Ophelia Sarkeesian AKA Madame Hydra.
As her alternate codename implies, she's one of the leaders of HYDRA.
Since Fox didn't have the rights to actually USE HYDRA in the X-Men movies, her role as Madame Hydra can only be assumed.
In the comics, HYDRA is an offshoot of the ninja clan known as The Hand.
Of course HYDRA then becomes super Nazis and battles Captain America.
But HYDRA and The Hand still retain some connections.
So, it's sort of implied here that Madame Hydra/Viper is using her Nazi super science to manipulate this ninja clan and Mr. Yoshida, in order to get a shot at stealing Wolverine's healing powers and immortality for HYDRA, and using Yoshida's wealth and stockpile of adamantium to prepare to build adamantium weapons for HYDRA.
We see that she's CLEARLY pulling the strings here throughout the whole movie, but we never fully understand her motives, unless we just accept that she's simply ONLY working for Yoshida.....despite being SO manipulative and seemingly pulling all the strings.
I find it best to just ASSUME that her role as a leader of HYDRA is intact in this movie, even though Fox couldn't legally refer directly to it.
And Wolverine is part of Captain America's legacy.
All the experiments done to him were in the name of attempting to find alternate ways to replicate the success of Captain America's Super Soldier process.
And the Adamantium that coats his bones was developed as a failed attempt to replicate the Vibranium-Steel alloy that makes up Captain America's shield.
Captain America was essentially created by SHIELD.
It only makes sense that SHIELD's ultimate enemy, HYDRA. would eventually come to haunt Wolverine too.
🤷♂
It's allllll tied together in a complex tapestry.
Great concise and illuminating NON-SPOILER history, @ieyke! It really sheds a ton of light n gives context and how this lady villain figures so largely out of the "green" in the movie! Now I know! And wanna know more! Way to inform smartly! Wish all comments did this! Hail IEYKE!
This was my favorite one too, until Days of Future Past. That remains my favorite.
I know everyone love Logan more but this is my favorite Wolverine movie !!!
I agree. This is a much better character film, period. Logan was a good movie but a one and done depressing experience.
I had hoped that Yukio would've appeared in other movies. I like this dynamic duo.
Yeah I was one of the dummies that missed the post-credits scene. I did figure it out when Days of Future Past came out. Lol. Respect for keeping Xavier dead for more than six years. That's actually pretty impressive for such a big franchise with one of their iconic characters. And this one had some solid, fast-paced action.
Your sister always makes me smile whenever I see her in your videos. She's just so adorable. You're both sweet and nice.
Logan is the best Marvel movie ever!!!!!!!!!
According to the production team, the body that Xavier put his mind into at the end of X3 was supposed to be his twin brother.
1. I can't wait for them to get to Deadpool.
2. I almost feel guilty for looking forward to them getting to Deadpool.
3. *At least there's a love story for Cassie* ❤
Cassie has seen Deadpool 1 and 2 already, in theaters.
@@craigvancil4410I'm pretty sure, she's only seen the first one.
Wolverines are not bears, Wolverines are part of the Weasel family Weasels, Otters and Wolverines and Badgers are the slightly bigger meaner cousin's.
Response to this movie was initially poor, because Logan's adventure in Japan (the 1982 4-part miniseries) is one of the most beloved comics of all time, and they didn't use any of it.
I like it when you take active part in the movie like "is that guy on our side?"
They spent a ton of time on this one trying to figure out the plot. Makes me think the movie wasn't as clear as it should have been.
The directors cut for the Wolverine is a better film
15:38 -- that's not a candy shop but a Pachinko parlor. An arcade "game" that's so Japanese I won't even start trying to explain it. For some reason they love it over there.
This film is primarily based on Chris Claremont's and Frank Miller's legendary 1982 "Wolverine" miniseries. It was Claremont and Miller who introduced many central aspects of Logan's character in this book, after his first appearance in Incredible Hulk #180 (1974) and formally joining the X-Men in Len Wein's 1975 Giant-Sized X-Men.
There's NO WAY Logan could have known what was sort of bomb was about to be dropped. The existence and decision to drop the atomic bombs was kept SO secret, that when USS Indianapolis, the cruiser tasked with delivering critical components of the bombs to the American airbase on Tinian, was sunk by a Japanese submarine, she wasn't even acknowledged to be missing for several days after she failed to arrive at her intended destination (when you watched Jaws, this was the ship Quint had served on, and he mentioned in his monologue about the sharks. Although in real life, most of the dead succumbed to dehydration, exposure, or wounds sustained when Indianapolis was torpedoed. The sharks primarily focused on the men who were already dead, not the survivors). Also, Logan would not have fought in the Allied invasion of Normandy, (as shown in X-Men Origins) and then been deployed in the Pacific at the end of the War in the first place. Although many units were planned to be deployed for the pending invasion of Japan before the bombs were dropped, none had actually departed Europe by the time Japan surrendered, and no other US Army units served in both theaters (and no Marines served in Europe at all).
Yeah, that hole would not have been enough to shield them from the explosion. They would have been flash-fried extra crispy.
EVERYONE liked Yukio in this. In the original book Yukio was NOT a mutant. She first appeared in the Claremont miniseries, and was actually conceived as a love interest for STORM (Chris Claremont definitely had a thing for queer relationships, ESPECIALLY when it came to women. Practically every woman he wrote was coded as at LEAST bi, and as I mentioned on X2, he originally intended Mystique to have been Nightcrawler's FATHER). However Jim Shooter, the Editor In Chief at the time, refused to allow same-sex couples on his tenure. In the books she's a ronin, and although she often works for the Yashida clan, it's as a mercenary.
Viper is played by Svetlana Khodchenkova. But with the mask she DOES sort of look like Heigel.
The Black Clan of this film is a stand-in for the Hand. Because of how the film rights worked out the X-Men films couldn't use them, so they became the Black Clan.
The first two acts are by FAR the strongest. It's a very neo-noir sort of mystery, with shades of the films of Ozu, and The Outlaw Josey Wales.
Logan's healing factor has undergone some SIGNIFICANT power creep since his first appearance. Originally, while Logan healed faster and more completely than normal people, injuries could still leave him crippled for days, if not weeks until he recovered. It was only later (around the 90s) that it got to the point where he could heal from fatal injury in moments. Ironically, Logan's healing being slowed in this film actually brings him closer in line to what his capabilities were in the original Claremont and Miller book than they ever were in the films.
Harada is the original Silver Samurai.
Japanese swords could absolutely be used one-handed. The legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi's entire fighting style centered around the daisho; dual-wielding the pairing of the katana and wakizashi.
Mariko Yashida is probably Logan's most long-running love interest, and arguably the love of his life. Their relationship has been a bit off-and-on, not helped by Mariko dying and being resurrected once or twice. It's the movies (and the 1992 animated series) that are responsible for people believing he and Jean had this great star-crossed romance. In truth, in the books whatever Logan felt for Jean, Jean did not completely reciprocate.
"How did you know there was a pool?" "I didn't." This joke has been used in SOOOOO many movies, lol. One of the most famous comes from the final Sean Connery Bond film, Diamonds Are Forever, when a gangster threw secondary Bond Girl Plenty O'Toole out a window, not knowing it was above a pool.
There's an alternate unrated cut of the film where the battle with the Black Clan is longer and considerably more violent.
The third act is without question the weakest part of the film, mostly because of the goofy mecha battle. The Silver Samurai of the books is MUCH closer to the depiction of Shingen's armor, not the glorified Iron Man suit. The fight with Shingen was awesome. The fight with Ichiro Yashida was excessive over the top CGI silliness.
I honestly don't know why Logan didn't just put up his claws, and instead allowed Yashida to cut them off. Plot-Induced Stupidity.
True story: Deadpool actually received his own healing factor from Logan in the comics, though not QUITE in the way it happens here.
There's an alternate cut of the final scene with Logan and Yukio on the plane, where she gifts Logan his iconic brown and yellow suit.
Magneto has gone through a few Heel - Face / and Face - Heel Turns over the course of the books. Generally these day he's more often on the darker end of the Anti-Hero spectrum, and his "kill all humans" ideology has MOSTLY subsided.
Days of Future Past is based on another iconic Claremont story. It's also considered one of the best films in the X-Men franchise, and among the best movies of ANY superhero franchise.
I love that line, “who says I’m in pain?”
Everybody!
Guys a wolverine is a badger not a bear. Like a honey badger it is ferocious a fearless creature. The wolverine is the biggest badger on the planet.
Wolverines are sometimes called "the jacked up honey badger on steroids". Honey badgers are their "little cousins".
Technically that's not correct. Both badgers and wolverines are mustelids, but wolverines are not just another species of badger.
@@MontgomeryWenis Another interesting fact is that honey badgers are technically misnamed.
Their Mustelid Subfamily Mellivorinae is closer related to Subfamily Guloninae (martens, tayra, fisher, wolverine) than it is to any of the other 3 badger Subfamilies.
This one might be my favorite of the Wolverine movies.
Can’t disagree with Carly calling this one her favorite. Until Logan, this was my favorite too.
Honestly they are not ready for that movie especially Carly.
@@joshuacampbell7493to be honest I'm not ready for it again. Talk about depression I had after that movie. Ooof.
4:38 look back. Crystalized process super headed flash burn. Directed fractal form (resonance structure form include) figger out the rest smart a😊
In the books mariko was Logan's great love before jean.
If you girls loved this movie, my favorite one is next. And yes, watch the Rogue cut if you can. Extra stuff very worth it if possible.
10:40 I did not know people actually get excited to see Katherine Heigl
She's gorgeous and there are beautiful pics of her online. She is very exceptionally beautiful!
Cassie is from the generation when Grey's Anatomy was at its peak. No one else is excited about her in anything anymore
The girl that plays Mariko, Tao Okamoto, this was her inaugural role according to IMDB.
“I see you on your back, there’s blood everywhere and you are holding your own heart in your hand” REMEMBER those words…. Don’t want to ruin anything but I do suggest that you remember those words
they wont 🤣
"I don't want to ruin anything but here's a huge spoiler"
Fun fact: in the comic books, Wolverine/Logan & Itsu had a child… a son named Daken.
Itsu? The girl in this movie is Mariko.
@@jedijones Right. Bit, in the comics her name is Itsu.
TMNT 1 n 2 , 3 was too goofy 🤪
The first one is by far the best.
I liked the phrase: "You thought that there was no meaning in an endless life? Only such a life has meaning."
Hugh Jackman in *THE PRESTIGE* (2006 film) opposite Christian Bale and Scarlett Johansson. 👍 CASSIE would love this thriller.
I've recommended that a few times.
@@TheGrimmCommoner So give my comment a thumb up and, hopefully, CASSIE would read it.
@@hughjorg4008 Already did.

He got his memories back at the end of X2
This film is actually awesome
Agreed. James Mangold Wolverine masterpiece is obviously Logan but this one was good too.
