Logan (film): Difference between revisions

Line 24:

* [[Berserk Button]]: Logan doesn't like it when Laura wants to go to Eden.

* [[Big "Shut Up!"]]: Logan yells "Shut the fuck up!" to Laura as she first started talking.

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{Spoiler|Logan, Xavier and Caliban are dead, but Laura and other mutant kids survived, they will escape to Canada and likely spill out the truth about Transigen for the entire world to hear, likely saving the mutant race before it's too late for them, and if not they will be progenitors of their future}}.

* [[Bloodier and Gorier]]: It is the most violent film of the series. Wolverine cuts graphically a guy's limb in the opening scene and it escalates from there.

* [[Boss in Mook Clothing]]: Inverted. The very threatening-looking soldier on a mohawk which first tries to apprehend Laura gets easily and quickly killed.

* [[Cain and Abel]]: {{Spoiler|Being his clone, X-24 is genetically Logan's brother, and evil. To make parallels even more strong, he does end up killing Logan}}.

* [[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.

Line 46:

Line 48:

* [[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.

* [[Law of Conservation of Detail]]: You know the moment the

* [[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]].

* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]: Not surprisingly, Laura behaves around people like a animal smelling prey. She gets so close to to Nate that you think she would have a crush without context.

* [[Not His Sled]]:

** Anyone which has read the original [[Old Man Logan]] (spoilers for it ahead) would think that Xavier's words about Logan killing the rest of the X-Men are {{Spoiler|absolutely true. As it turns out however, Xavier himself killed them with a psychic wave similar to the one in [[X2: X-Men United]]}}.

Line 60:

Line 65:

* [[The Speechless]]: {{spoiler|X-24}} initially only communicates by growling.

* [[Suddenly Voiced]]: After Charles Xavier dies, Laura finally starts speaking to Logan.

* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: X-24's haircut, function on the story and behaviour resembles Sabertooth. {{Spoiler|And just like Sabertooth, he is genetically Logan's brother}}.

* [[Take That]]: And not in a humorous way. Wolverine's rants to Laura about the in-universe comics resemble complaints about the actual comics, about characters coming back from the dead and no consequences to drastic events ever lasting. It takes an extra sting knowing what cover triggers it: that of ''Uncanny X-Men'' #132, showing the X-Men mourning over Jean's death during the Phoenix Saga; Jean was a character known for repeatedly resurrecting and who was established to be the love of ''this'' Wolverine's life.

* [[The Western]]: This is the second superhero film to be considered a Western. (The first was 2010's ''[[Jonah Hex (film)|Jonah Hex]]''.)
