Adding trope.
(There is enough tropes to not call it a stub anymore.)
(Adding trope.)
Line 17:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adapted Out]]: Justified. Thanks to Fox not owning the rights, all non-X-men elements were excised from this adaptation and replaced, most notable Old Man Hawkeye, Sarah Kinney and Nick Fury, whose roles in the plots of the works mentioned above were replaced by Gabriella (telling Logan about Laura and motivating his journey across America).
* [[Adaptational Heroism]]: Laura is only seen killing by self-defencedefense here and worships Logan for the hero he was, only acting harshly in response to her idol's own harshness towards her. ''Evolution'' X-23 was a [[Tyke Bomb]] that attacked Logan and X-Men because she blamed Logan for her bad childhood without not even asking for the truth.
* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: Played for Laughs with Donald Pierce. Just as he shows his cyborg arm to Logan and it seems a very tense fight is off to start, Laura throws a pipe off-screen which instantly knocks him out. Turns out, his augmentations didn't extend to his cranium.
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: In some ways this is the whole point of the film.
* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]: Despite the level of odd events he experienced, Logan is still shocked and scepticskeptic when a female clone of him appears on his doorstep. {{Spoiler|To make it even worse, he shows no signal of being suspicious of how mutants have existed for thousands of years and suddenly went extinct after the high level of danger they represented became extremely public thanks to Apocalypse and the Phoenix}}.
* [[Artificial Limbs]]: Donald Pierce has a cybernetic arm.
* [[Atomic F-Bomb]]: Logan yells one upon learning that Donald Pierce is from Transigen.
Line 32:
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: To benefit from the R-rating, Logan and Charles Xavier regularly swear.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: To the point it's far more bleak than other superhero films.
* [[Deconstruction]]: Of most [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]] fiction. Mutants are shown to be dangerous towards even themselves with old age and faced with that challenge mankind choseschooses not outright war like in the previous movie in the timeline, but more subtle methods because a direct conflict would end in disaster.
* [[Distant Finale]]: The film takes place in the year 2029 and is the last Wolverine film.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Logan has tried to kill himself multiple times.
Line 50:
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Between ''Apocalypse'' and this movie, Caliban has grown regretful of exploiting and then helping in the extinction of his own race and proceeded to help Logan in taking care of the elder Xavier.
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: If only by one thumb compared to other Wolverine movies. In a montage of Logan working as a driver, a young bride flashes her nipple at him.
* [[Luke, You Are My Father]]: Logan is more than shocked at Laura being his child. It don't helps she is a lab experiment created without his consent and without a mother, so the naturally aloof Canadian feels even more detached from her than he would be usually.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Pierce threatening Logan around the 28 minutes mark is interrupted by him being comically hit by a pipe.
* [[Mugging the Monster]]: Mutants have reduced to just a few numbers that people simply don't expect to find one, and Logan gets confronted at least two times by criminals who doesn't even consider the possibility of fighting a mutant and thinks he is a [[Fearless Fool]].
Line 73 ⟶ 74:
** Logan and Caliban do not kill Pierce despite the fact his continued survival is going to screw them over.
** For all intents and purposes, James should have killed Charles a long time ago, with his powers posing danger to everyone around him. The only possible reason for him not doing it it's this trope. It does not stop him of killing people in self-defence.
* [[Timeshifted Actor]]: Merchant is only three years older than [[X-Men: Apocalypse|DeMarquis]], but his Caliban's showshows visible signals of aging a few decades have passed.
* [[Wham! Line]]: "De nada." From that point, Logan now knows Laura can speak.
