The Wolverine FULL REACTION

What happened to X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)? Aren't we missing a movie here? Re: them pushing Jean, she's not really a love interest so much as Logan is obsessed with her because of what she represents to him. She's the Good Woman who could give him a happy life and make him a better man than he thinks he is. He doesn't even really know her, as you've pointed out, and she's always going to choose Scott over him.

Teth

I think he does it cause it's shorter and quicker to say. Logan is two syllables and wolverine is three

Slimsycentaur37

November, you say? This didn't age well lol

Stef Furness

It's IN the base material. It's IN the Marvel comics that every one of these stories is based on. It's a matter of not knowing things. And an adamantium skelleton (poison BTW)

Alejandro Guerra

I'm not sure if it was cut from those 2 movies or they just forgot, but there are reasons they don't have 9+ out of 10 rating. Maybe it was just fanservice for those who know, but I don't like that approach too (and I knew).

Michal Kubán

i am the only one that thinks its super cool that he refers to wolverine as logan? most people just say wolverine but Mr Boyd respects him enough to use his name

Soul Fist

your face during the train scene LMFAO you looked stressed Mr Boyd lol

Soul Fist

There is one inconspicuous moment in X-Men (2006), that explains how could Xavier survive. It does not explain why he looks the same though, I think this was not mentioned in any of the movies (but I could be wrong). Check 13:07 in that movie.

Michal Kubán

Are such revelations ever explained? How is the watcher ever supposed to infer that?

Mister_Bleak

That’s my problem I want him to see Loki first

Marquis keel

Ummm... are you talking about the stockpiling of adamantium, and the obsession with taking-off his claws? The first was, to make the indestructable mecha-suit which was totally independant of the desire for Logan's healing-factor. The second was, as we could see, so they could burrow through the marrow in the bones that would be exposed by taking-off the claws.

Molly McAllister

Xavier being alive was hinted at in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). In one scene, he asked if it would be moral to hijack a consciousness of a man, who was born without it and is just a vegetable in bed... that was his twin brother.

Michal Kubán

The post credits scene in Last Stand explains how Xavier is alive.

You know, I was trying to listen to that conversation before/during the slap.... no subtitles dude, I can barelly tell you what the argument even was about, I caught a "what the hell" a few "please somethings" and becaus___(e). Problematic

Alejandro Guerra

I think the reason the 'viper' needs Wolverine is because Wolverine's powers are proof against injury and disease, she only seems to have powers of Venom and Antivenom.

Molly McAllister

Logan's still a mutant, he seems to still have his heightened senses. However, without his healing factor he's on borrowed-time anyway even without all this Yakuza business. Adamantium is a toxic metal, it'll end-up slowly killing him without his healing-factor to counteract it.

Molly McAllister

They never showed you how Jean x Logan relationship happened because it was basically all fanservice for people who'd read the comic books first, which is of course a problem for people coming in blind who hadn't read the comics.

Molly McAllister

Japanese beds? Futons, very popular with young people who just moved out of their parent's house and their taste in home furnishings were things like a thousand dollar stereo setup in an entertainment center made from 1x6 boards and cinderblocks. This was back when you could afford to move out of your parent's house while you were still young enough to prioritize household electronics over tasteful décor of course.

Molly McAllister

Uh.... nnnnnnno.... Pearl Harbor and Nagasaki are in no way comparable. One was a sneak-attack (although it later came out that due to miscommunication between Japanese high-command and the Japanese consulate in Washington the declaration of war was delivered hours after the attack rather than before as originally intended) which targeted specific military targets with conventional ordinance. If you wanna talk 'revenge play' for that then you mean the Doolittle Raid. The other was an Atomic Freakin' BOMB. No way are those comparable... and even then there was the mass fire-bombings of basically every major Japanese city on the home islands, with Napalm, prior to Fat Man and Little Boy being dropped. Although it could be argued that the atomic bombs were necessary for Japan to ultimately see the futility of continuing the war.

Molly McAllister

Everyone has their perspective. You make me kill my buddy because it stumbled into your camp because you are a shit hunter with poor firearm safety habits, I might decide I hunt you down using my super smell and...

Alejandro Guerra

Fine I'll say something else. At the time the movies came out. You know what "shipping" means? Look it up, sometimes companies capitalize on this. That and "read the comics" Comics Published March 15, 2022 Every Wolverine and Jean Grey Kiss in X-Men History Stolen kisses in the face of death, steamy nights on Krakoa, and more! Insert marlvel's long article here with all the pics And it'' probably keep feeling that way if you don't look at them under those lights, there's a million stories that could be adapted where anyone could maybe be thor, and where people could be with other people, and ALL the stories are long, better, and with more detail

Alejandro Guerra

The one thing I'll say is: once a comic company starts calling series' character names like "Spiderman from Earth prime" or Earth 851... ect. You can expect to be completely different situations in each timeline and universe. Whis is why watching LOGAN the best STAND ALONE Wolverine movie, that gives the series justice makes the most sense. Obviously still watching this but I know exactly what you're going to say and think. Watch.

Alejandro Guerra

Japan and China are both facing major demographic crisis's, The men to women ratio in China is way out of whack and Japan's birthrates overall are in the dumpster. China's economy is on a knife's edge and politically it's stability is based on fulfilling promises of middle-class lifestyles to it's huge urban population. Japan's economy has suffered many setbacks with the demographic crisis and it's people having horrible work-life balance (as in Not having one at all) people just keel-over at their desks from overwork and Die. They call it 'Karoshi'. Even Korea (leaving out North Korea, the economic disparity between North and South Korea can be seen from Space.) is having issues with it's working class (White and Blue collar) suffering from overwork and the primarily male-dominated workforce is feeling 'owed' demure and submissive women and as ideas of gender equality catch-up in Korea there's already cultural strife with death-threats being freely distributed for suggesting something as innocuous as, "Perhaps a female scuba-diver should be shown wearing a wet-suit instead of a bikini." I'm sorry but, on a lot of cultural stuff you sound really Dated to me. This 'East is gonna overtake the West' was a big thing in the 1980's, it's why most cyberpunk-genre stuff from the period is set in the US but all the signage has Katakana on them. Didn't happen then, not gonna happen now. 'The West' is such a huge thing economically if/when it goes down it's gonna take everybody, including 'The East', down with them. As for what sort of 'nonsense' got injected into the US that's started it's decay, that would be Late-Stage Capitalism. It's what exports jobs and imports cheap goods from more exploitable countries while funding political campaigns that are gonna tell you that bullet-trains and healthcare are Satanic Communism.

Molly McAllister

"If he dies how can he come to you...?" You may or may not be surprised by how many people believe in an afterlife.

Molly McAllister

'Love Hotel'.... that building is actually the famous 'capsule hotel' (sadly now defunct) and it did NOT have rooms nearly that big.

Molly McAllister

Well, they did tell you right from the jump. He was the Son, she was the Grand-daughter.

Molly McAllister

There are a few inconsistencies in this one. Ending is a little strange. I wonder if Logan gets his metal claws back somehow. I hope someone eventually explains Xavier being alive again. Thanks for the reason though. Very fun to watch.

Mister_Bleak

And we're done! Damn!! That was a much better film than I remember . Were it not for going on this journey with you , I doubt I would have done a re-watch. I remembered some things , but totally forgot the mid credit scene. Bad ass!! Next week will be a BANGER! Just please remember to watch The Rogue Cut . That being said , I thank you again Sir , for another great reaction! Peace

Madmanmarz1981

Please watch “The Rogue Cut” of Days of Future Past it’s like 10 minutes of more plot that helps the story, like This movie is good but this is the theatrical cut which is pg-13 there’s an extended rated R version where that scene with the arrows in his back is way more creative instead of him immediately falling down.

Isaac

Xavier’s survival was foreshadowed. In Last Stand, he was giving a lesson about ethics and talked about a man in a vegetative state and the ethical implications of transferring consciousness. That man was his hospitalized twin brother, at least according to fan theories. So he moved his consciousness into his brother’s “empty” comatose body.

ViperBreeze

While the love triangle situation WAS forced, it's well established that Logan wanted to be with Jean. Doesn't matter who she was with. Logan wanted her. Cared about her. He is permitted to have dream love fantasies about her right?

Mister_Bleak

He'll need to see both Logan and Loki first.

Johnathan Martin

Another Mutant Monday has arrived! And this one has some cool moments if I remember correctly. Although Days of Future Past and Logan are my faves. I am sure this reaction will be fun. Checklist time - No edibles today.. Cones packed - Check , Beer freezer cold - Check , smokes and Zippo - Check. Let's watch dis shit!! Peace

Madmanmarz1981

Has to be after Deadpool 2. But he does need to watch Logan before DP2 of course. And that should be in a few weeks by my count. But doubt Deadpool and Wolverine will be on stream/home media before November. Also , that version is rumored to be much longer. (About 3 hrs last I heard. ) Peace

Madmanmarz1981

Not only did Wolverine storm the beaches of Normady, he was also there for the atomic bombs in Japan.

David Melo

MrLBoyd you need to start a hashtag campaign. you can call it #SheWasWithSCOTT

Soul Fist

Why would he heal because of the adamantium? It's a metal. His healing factor allowed him to survive his bones being coated with it.

Teth

hands down THE BEST movie in the series, better than Days of Future Past by FAR

Soul Fist

Marquis keel

If she was going through the garbage for food, by herself, I think it's fair to assume she was either an orphan or a runaway. The comment about Mariko's friendship probably indicating that they took her into their (quite lavish) home because it was Mariko's idea.

Molly McAllister

Question patrons since Deadpool and wolverine is technically mcu phase 5 would that be watched after Deadpool 2 or in the mcu order

Marquis keel

"I don't think these people care about the story about that sword." Irrelevant, she cares (and I think she was actually recounting that story for Logan's benefit more than for the yokels she was beating-up.)

Molly McAllister

I think it was 'rescue your captor' because said captor was rescuing him, we already saw him freeing all the other prisoners in anticipation for what they thought was gonna be an ordinary carpet-bombing... The 'tic-tac-toe'... that Bear was marking those trees with it's claws, so he re-marked them with his own claws to tell the bear whose territory it actually was.

Molly McAllister

he is a expert swordsman that's another reason he's used so much

Gregory Sambrano

This might be my favorite out of all the X Men movies

DIITIVE

Please lord do the rogue cut of days of futures past😭
