I had to go into the theater bathroom to cry right after Logan ended. I can't be the only one to have had that kind if reaction, right? I was five years old when I saw the first X-Men movie in theaters; I've grown up with Wolverine, and now that chapter of my life is closed. Maybe I'm just a big wimp.
>>
that's understandable
>>
>>90759154
I was sad, too.
>>
>>90759154
I cringed a little when Laura said ''Daddy'' all of the sudden.
Maybe if she had listen to some girl saying it along the road trip.
>>
It was pretty sad, but I was happy with the send off for the character.
>>
I didn't feel any emotion for Logan's death until she turned the cross into an X.
>>
>>90759154

the x-men movies sucked for the most part, why were you so invested in them?. it would be be like if they had made star wars prequels every 2 years up until now, and you had to go cry in the restroom when anakin turned into vader.

>>90759457
Yeah, that was a nice touch.

X1, X2, FC, TW, DOFP and now Logan... the x-men movies have been good for the most part, anon.

better get angry dude... wtf happened with the adamantium milking machine from The wolverine? when did he got his metal back? mongoloid and his fucking adamantium bullet...seriously... look a steel door, no problem ill hit it with my steel hammer and it will break.
besides... she was not his daughter, she is a clone, if thats the case we need to close the fucking sperm banks asap., from the beginning of the movie i was saying "This manipulative shit is gonna end with a dad or daddy shit" oh sorprise surprise. It was not bad, but not as unique and awesome as everybody was saying. Jackman was great, caliban was great, Xavier was so fucking anoying.

Didn't cry, but I did got sort of a knot in my stomach because of it.

I didn't know much about X-Men when I saw it so I had no idea Laura was going to pull out the claws and start slicing people in half which was pretty cool.

Some are saying this has been one of the best superhero movies. Does /co/ agree?

I got right on the edge of crying a couple of times (the family dinner scene nearly did it), but the last scene hit me hard enough to get a few tears out of me.

>Some are saying this has been one of the best superhero movies.

I would legitimately list it alongside "Blade II", "Spider-Man 2", "Iron Man", "Dredd", and "The Crow" as one of the best comic book films ever. Shit, I would even put it above them all. It did so many goddamn things right that its few flaws (like the middling antagonists) are worth forgetting.

My reaction wasn't that strong, but I admit I teared up a little in the theatre myself. It's pretty powerful stuff. No shame in allowing yourself to feel what you feel.
>>
>>90759895

"X-Men" does not hold up well; "X2" is good, but not great (same goes for "First Class"); "The Wolverine" falls apart in the third act; and "Days of Future Past" is middling at best. "Logan" is the only great X-Men film - and it did that by damn near stripping itself away from the X-Men franchise.

>I had to go into the theater bathroom to cry right after Logan ended.
What are you? Steven Universe?
>>
>>90760946

I get the sense that at some point in the fairly recent past his healing factor finally started to crap out on him, and at that point he started falling apart FAST. More than just rapid onset of aging, but the constant trickle of poison into his bloodstream from the adamantium in him would greatly accelerate that process.

Why, because an emotional reaction to something results in a subsequent physical reaction?

People cry. It is generally a sincere reaction to something emotional. Of course, your being an insincere asshole means you cannot understand that.

Yes, and? If a fictional story can make me feel the kind of emotions that make me cry, why does that bother you so much? Why WOULD it bother you so much unless you are incapable of feeling that kind of emotion?
>>
>>90762395
Im not that anon but there hasn't been a movie I've been interested in for years. I think the last time I went to see one was with my dad on father's day.

Not me, buddy. You're the one with the problem. Butting into a post between two people that didn't concern you like a typical tripfaggot. You're the one continuing this conversation when it's clear all I'm going to call you is a whiny emotional faggot. Which you are. The fact that we're still talking is on you.
>>
>>90762516

It kinda does, though. If you really cannot understand why a story - even a fictional one - might make some people cry, it is likely something you cannot ever do yourself.
>>
>>90762541

>You're the one continuing this conversation when it's clear all I'm going to call you is a whiny emotional faggot.

At least I cry at funerals. What do you do, pop open a cold one and drink it during the eulogy?

You're making a critical error in logic. While I don't care if you cry in movies or not, the connection you're drawing is fallacious.

I understand. I just think they're faggots for doing it. You want to cry so hard? Cry over something that really deserves it.

Why do you think it is less-than-human to cry at something that invokes a strong emotional response, regardless of whether it is fictional?
>>
>>90762591
I can think of a few reasons but I think the biggest is you're a tripfag and the nail that sticks up gets hammered down. If I were to take a guess I'd say he saw your name first and wanted to find something to disagree with or attack second.
>>
>>90762653
>I'd say he saw your name first and wanted to find something to disagree with or attack second.
Except he started an argument with me.
>>
>>90760946
He had aged, or he would obviously looked the same as when his healing factor activated as a teenager. Plus, it's established in the film that his healing factor isn't working as well, most likely due to the adamantium being literally a constant strain on it.

Not a perfect film by any means, but an excellent action film, and demonstrated how the superhero genre specifically can be used to explore themes, not unlike TDK.

>>
>>90762673
There you are then. Starting up arguments with people tends to make them combative to your ideas regardless of what they may actually think or feel about them. You see them as an enemy immediately and they shut themselves off to discourse and become intransigent as a defense mechanism. It's not terribly unusual.
>>
>>90762095
That hit me harder than the ending

And when Xavier drove through the casino after he hurt everyone and he's like "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!". He's the kindest, most caring person in the world and he just hurts 400 people and remembered he killed 600 people years before
>>
>>90762678

>Don't misconstrue an insult as penultimate dehumanization.

Nah senpai, we good.

>>90762675

If anything, it is more about demonstrating how to avoid the pitfalls of the nebulous and broadly-defined "superhero genre" by rooting a story in a pre-existing genre (a Western, in this case) and adding superheroes and fantastical elements as necessary. If you could take the mutant/superhero shit out of "Logan" and rework the film as a "modern Western", the film would probably work just as well.

>>90762729

It is a bit more direct and "blatant" about the story than the original comic (which had vibes of "is this really happening"), but it is a damn fine film in its own right. It might feel a bit dated due to the soundtrack and the general aesthetic, but the story still holds up, and Brandon Lee's performance is incredible.

>>90759154
I think Logan is pretty overrated. It's not a bad movie, probably the best movie in the X-Men franchise so far, but I think people are giving it far too much credit just for being a decent movie in a sea of cheap schlock.

The story was paper-thin and didn't make a whole lot of sense, literally all of the background stuff was glossed over in just a few throwaway lines, there was almost no character development at all and when it did happen it happened suddenly and for no reason other than that the plot demanded it, and the action was full of awful quick cuts in order to attempt to hide the shitty choreography.

I'm not saying I hated the movie. Like I said, it was quite good for a superhero movie and some of the scenes worked quite well. But I seriously believe that the only reason people are heaping praise onto it the way they do is only because it's not the garbage everyone has been trained to accept from cape movies.

I happened to see T2 Trainspotting and Logan on the same day and it's jarring to see how everyone agrees that T2 is worse than the original and a pretty mediocre movie overall, while Logan, a worse movie in pretty much every regard, gets almost universal praise and high scores simply because the standard for cape movies is ridiculously low. Should an ok sequel to a bad movie really be held in such higher regard than an ok sequel to a good movie?
>>

You don't even need to have seen the other X movies for Logan to be an emotional movie

That's just another plothole.

If mutants were going extinct because of poisoned GMO foods like the energy drinks they talked about, how were they even going extinct at all? Wouldn't they only be going extinct in America, or the Western world at most? What about mutants in poor countries, or mutants who don't eat GMO stuff for personal reasons? It's simply not possible to create food that literally everyone on the planet eats.

>>
>>90762095

I thought Wolverine going batshit after Xavier's death was more emotional personally. It felt way truer to Wolverine as a character than his death did.

I actually didn't like Wolverine dying. Wolverine being able to die cheapens the pathos and mystique of Wolverine in my opinion.

>I'm cool with Wolverine dying in What If and other out of continuity stories, but I think him dying in the actual canon is dumb.

I actually feel like it was hubris of Hugh Jackman to have Wolverine dying. Wolverine will live A LOT longer than Hugh Jackman will, and other actors are going to be playing him again in the future.

>>
>>90759154

It was heartbreaking OP. I didn't cry during the film- teared up several times, but I felt at a loss when it ended.

The X-Men have always been a held a special place in my heart because of how it deals with the universal story involving discrimination and prejudice. To see two of my favorite X-Men have their theatrical finale in such a way was brutal.
>>
>>90759895

X-Men movies are terrible. Most of my feelings toward the series stem from the 90s tv series and comics. Logan does solo X-Men stories right and it was great watching him FINALLY use his claws as brutally as he does in the comics. Even the X-men are at times afraid of Wolverine and this movie helps to put that in perspective.

Brian Singer hasn't done shit for the franchise. X1 was garbage, but X2 and Days of Future Past were passable.

All the other X-Men movies are average and largely disappointments considering how good the comics are.

In Logan, you really understand the threat mutants face that you don't really get in the other movies. Evil mutants were predominantly the concern with the Singer movies and their being manipulated by prejudiced civilians/government agencies. You never really get to see how hated mutants are in any of the films and for that reason, it loses one of it's main, if not primary villains: human majorities. With Logan, there's this underlying threat of being discovered.

Logan felt like the first well done X-Men (using actual original team members) movie and it's sad because it'll probably be the last.
>>
>>90762560
>What do you do, pop open a cold one and drink it during the eulogy?

Actually yeah. One last beer to send him off. It's how we reminisce over all those discussions we had over a beer. Politics, jobs, vidya, movies, events, that girls he's been eyeing who he eventually married. It's a great way to send off one of your mates.
>>
>>90763757
Have a good cry, pussy.
>>
>>90761470
>>90761886

Yeah, it's easily one of the best. Right up there with MoS and BvS regarding it's directing.

>just ignore me mentioning BvS if that triggers you

The Marvel movies are great, but they're made with children in mind and I think because of that, the movies themselves can't delve into the more egregious and horrific sides of human nature that really give birth and purpose to these "super" heroes.
>>
>>90762752
>remembered he killed 600 people years before

I honestly missed this? What this about Xavier accidentally killing hundreds of people by accident and his being labeled as WMD?

How did I miss this important detail? All the characters were alluding to it, but I had no idea what they were talking about.
>>
>>90759154
The entire fucking end got me.

I was expecting Logan to get up after the medicine starting to fail for one last adrenaline-fueled rampage, but then... fuck, man, nope, he's just too tired and sick. The realness of that was super depressing.

I didn't full on cry when the film pressed X to pay respects, but my eyes got pretty fucking watery.
>>
>>90764414
It only gets alluded to.

But after the casino part, you hear the radio comparing it to a similar incident that happened in Westchester several years back, where a few hundred people and several X-Men were killed.

The film goes out of its well to never quite tell you exactly how it went down, but Charles probably had an unexpected fit a few years ago and killed tons of people.

>the radio comparing it to a similar incident that happened in Westchester several years back, where a few hundred people and several X-Men were killed.

Okay, thanks. I remember that scene, but I don't remember anything about X-Men being killed. I might've been distracted by random movement in the theater and missed that part.

When Xavier begins to allude to it throughout the movie, I did get the feeling he did something absolutely terrible after even mentioning that his heavy medication helps to prevent remembering those events. I'll admit, I never quite worked out what might happen if his mind became susceptible to a degenerative disease or simply old age. What a terrible outcome.

Great movie though. It seems like it's fairly isolated from the other movies which is probably a good thing.

The WMD part is mentioned by the generic villain dude early on. IIRC he tells Caliban that Xavier's brain is now classed as a WMD. The 600 people part is mentioned on the radio after the Vegas incident, when they compare it to the Westchester incident.

It's handled exactly the way all background information is handled in this movie. It's kept intentionally vague and is only mentioned in two or three throwaway lines scattered through the movie.
>>
>>90764819
IIRC it says 6 of the X-Men died.

It's anyone's guess what happened to the rest of them. Or maybe there weren't many of them in that timeline and the rest were just regular mutant students?

Not that I recall the film 1:1,
but I don't recall them stating that Xavier's blowouts killed that many of the X-Men.

However Xavier did blame Logan for killing them, or something.
And that would make sense since it fits what happened to them in Old Man Logan.

This movie has nothing to do with Old Man Logan, other that they both feature an older version of Wolverine.

After the Vegas scene you hear the radio comparing the blowout there to the blowout at Westchester which killed a shitload of people including a bunch of X-Men. Logan then turns off the radio when Xavier wakes up. It's also mentioned early on by Caliban how Logan is one of the few people who's able to survive the full force of Xavier's blowouts, so if one happened in the X-Mansion and they didn't have the right medication yet, it only makes sense that most of the X-Men would be dead.

>However Xavier did blame Logan for killing them, or something.
He blames Logan for giving up and hiding, mostly because Xavier doesn't remember that he's the one who fucked it all up in the first place.
>>
>>90765001
No it didnt kill a shitload of people it INJURED a shit load of people like 600 but its KILLED like 6-7.

Errrr it dsnt need to be all you need to be is Charles fucking Xavier with a fucking degenerative brain disease. Anyone with a small understanding of xaviers powers would know that.
X2 shows with the help of cerebro he could have practically killed everyone.

I suggest you watch the movie again.

I don't know, too many things about this film bothered me to get me emotional.
Like Logan leaving the woman alone despite knowing they're being hunted by a powerful company with its own army.
Or staying with that family for any period of time despite being hunted by a powerful company with its own army. I knew the moment that it was mentioned that they would stay over, that the family was going to die.
Despite being a "serious" take on the franchise, they really pulled their punches as to what was done to Laura. I mean the soldiers just standing around without firing while Laura kept up her combo meter was just dumb.

I also never felt that the blonde dude with the robot arm was a threat, and the final battle was pretty underwhelming.

It was a decent movie, but not good enough to get me emotionally invested, much less cry. And I cry a lot.
and yeah, I do regret having spent money on it.
>>
>>90764885
Ohhh /co/ you whacky fuckers, never change
>>
>>90765202

You clearly didn't understand the meaning of my post.

The argument isn't whether Xavier is a WMD, but instead whether his status as WMD stems from the events that likely resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people in the Westchester event.

I was responding to someone that said Xavier only killed 6 or 7 people which seems unlikely because of his immense power, the examples shown numerous times throughout the film especially in Vegas, and the instance where Caliban mentions that he could've died in a matter of minutes had the mental assault (though accidental) continued from Xavier.

Again, someone said Xavier probably only killed 6 or 7 people while most allusions seem to prove otherwise.
>>
>>90765321
In the movie reports says only 6 or 7 died.
Also movies often like to throw out big terrifying words without knowing the implications behind them because they're movies.
Don't take the usage of WMD so seriously.
>>
>>90765259
>they really pulled their punches as to what was done to Laura. I mean the soldiers just standing around without firing while Laura kept up her combo meter was just dumb.

They showed a little girl getting harpooned through the chest!

>>90765259
>I knew the moment that it was mentioned that they would stay over, that the family was going to die.

I think everyone knew that family was DED the moment Logan agreed with Xavier to be dinner guests. Time the moment the camera spanned across that farmhouse I was like "They're all going to die, aren't they?"

>>90765259
>I also never felt that the blonde dude with the robot arm was a threat
The blond guy, I think was a Reaver which is sort of cool given their history in the universe.

I think most of the people who felt something for these characters like myself have a sort of emotional investment regarding them built up over decades from the xmen films and other media as well.

What about Apocalypse. It's easily a better movie than Days of Future Past.
In fact, I think every one of these movies fall apart in the 3rd act. the only notable exception being First Class and Logan. But to be fair, it's been over a decade since I last watched the original trilogy.

You really are a thick headed CUNT.
Why are you taking the term WMD so fucking literally? The fucking movie TELLS YOU how many people he killed.

>You do understand that Days of Future Past reconned the X1 - X3

Logan the film references events from the original trilogy they talk about statue of liberty event and logan being a cage fighter and they talk about alkali lake so its fucking obvious it didnt change everything. Like ripples in a stream created by a stone throw it changes somethings not literally every single thing.

>My point being is that NO ONE KNOWS THE FUCKING EXTENT OF HIS POWERS especially the government UNTIL the event in Westchester occurs.

Your point is wrong you dont know that at all. DOFP Charles talks to wolverine when he gets back from the past. That means its the same charles as young charles in DOFP. That charles was a fucking Gman and the government knew about mutants and charles for fucking decades.

Welcome to the world of capeshit that doesn't shy away from the content. Laura being impaled along with Logan slicing and dicing were the most refreshing aspects of the film.
>>
>>90759406
>all of the sudden.
>>
>>90767224
No the violence was basically boring, and shit like that was just repugnant. Its one of those moments where it dawns on you how people spent a lot of time and money animating the simulated impaling of a child for the amusement of adult superhero fans. It's so odd. The only good bits were Patrick Stewart's dialogue
>>
>>90767304

Laura wasn't just a mere child. Context matters. She's a weapon created to endure that sort of violence and inflict far worse. Your perspective is rather narrow regarding the meaning behind Laura's impalement. In reality, the bad guys blow children into bits, use them as bait, use them as soldiers, use them for all sorts of horrible things and this movie presented only a tiny fraction of that horror. It's supposed to show a world in which super heroism is necessary as Logan discovered near the end of the film and then sacrificed himself in that effort.
>>
>>90767451
It's still the image of a child being impaled, though. This isn't a Michael Haneke film, this is a superhero movie about Wolverine, so justifying it as a revealing portrait of real-life cruelty is retarded
>>
>>90767547
>It's still the image of a child being impaled, though.

So fucking what? Its an R rated film about characters that if we are going after their true iterations get impaled all the time.

What are you some weak minded fool

>>90767547
>superhero movie about Wolverine

You seem to have a stereotype of what issues can or can't be addressed within comics or comic films and that there are standardized vehicles by which to deliver certain messages. In other words, art, stories, whatever in your mind seems restricted to certain mediums.

This isn't a problem with the movie. It's a problem within you.

>>90767636
yeah they could probably communicate that message in a good way through a superhero movie without casual scenes showing the graphic impalement of children. scenes with zero weight or actual meaning other than being titillating action
>>
>>90767831

All the while ignoring this that are like context.
>>
>>90767831
>zero weight or actual meaning other than being titillating action

it's not that there was no meaning, it's that you refuse to see any meaning. you saw a child being impaled and that was it for you. i guess you prefer some soliloquy and a little soft piano playing in the background.

essentially you have an issue with the way the story was told, perhaps with the story altogether. in times like these it's best to think, "how would i have done it better?" and on discovering that you couldn't, it's best to just shut up about it. even i know that no matter how terrible i think something maybe, there's no evidence of my doing it better, so my opinion may be without merit although still existing as my opinion.
>>
>>90767911
you are invested enough in the universe of a retarded superhero movie to the degree that the fictional context (the girl being a super-weapon) blinds you to the obvious fact that it's still the graphic simulated image of a child being impaled, and that it's weird as fuck to show that casually

and I'M autistic.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>
>>90767831
Dude no went into Logan "wanting" to see a child get impaled. However people did go into the movie with a certain level expectation with it being a an R rated film. An R rated film about a character with extremely sharp claws and a tenancy to slice people.

As people have mentioned already context matters and in the context of the film and the gravity of the situation (the fact they wanted to catch laura alive, she can heal and its an R rated film) it is no way strange and completely in context to see something like this.

lel what are you on about? it's not that deep. it's a dumb superhero movie with a weirdly casual scene of child impalement during one of the action scenes

>>
>>90768014
Yes you are, no one needs to be invested in the movie or the franchise at all the realize its within context.

>blinds you to the obvious fact that it's still the graphic simulated image of a child being impaled, and that it's weird as fuck to show that casually.

Who the fuck is blind? i know it happend i saw it with my own eyes. Why was it casual up until that scene 10 fucking people had been stabbed in the fucking head. All the while 5 of those were killed by a girl.
Nothing casual about that scene at all in fact its tame comped to some of the rest of the violence.
>>
>>90768038
but someone making the film thought that it was an appropriate scene that fans would be entertained by so they put it in
>>
>>90768114
> with a weirdly casual scene of child impalement

There is that stupid fucking sentence again. A child getting impaled sticks out to an autist but the rest of the movie with people getting sliced in half by a man and child is fine and dandy.

>laura started to cry and her nose run like a river

See, this is probably why it's best to see a movies in an empty theater unless it's a comedy. If it's a drama, I don't even bother with a crowded theater. Having spontaneous laughter will ruin a scene.

Someone laughed at the scene where the little fat kid was running from the Reavers in the forest and here:

>>90768073
>him venting on the truck until he just breaks in the road was hard to watch.

The scene of Logan venting on the truck was somewhat of a tearjerker, but there was at least various groups in the theater laughing at the scene and I was like "wtf?"
>>
>>90768159
But it is an appropriate scene. For the context the themes and the rating of the film.

Im not exactly sure what you are trying to say here everyone saw the scene there is nothing casual about it. Many more vulgar things happen in the film. Many times the audience would audibly react to it.
It was not casually thrown in there it was placed for shock value and to portray the gravity of the situation.

The movie was about genocide and refugees. Mutants were nearly extinct and the few that remained were either searching for refuge, conscripted into hunting their own kind, killed, or experimented on which includes mutant children. I don't see how a story like this could avoid that sort of violence if it wants to show the scenario somewhat honestly.

It's pretty clear that the x-men movies have been following multiple continuities. It's also clear that if they make another x-men movie with the current actors they're going to have to have someone playing Wolverine.

>>90769506
The movie was meant to be a reflection on Logan's character, rather than a part of the larger X-Men universe. That's why they only hinted at Charles killing the other X-Men and didn't outright show it.

Is it bad they I thought the movie was so bleak and dark that I couldn't care enough about what happens to the characters or how they feel?

This fucking hit. My grandmother was for all intents and purposes the lone voice of reason in her southern upbringing, got a law degree, kicked ass. She loved Tolkien too, read all his works.

She got Alzheimer's when I was 11 and stopped recognizing me. I just remember her staring at me like a stranger but trying so hard to grasp something, anything. I only found out about her history and interests when I was filling out a bookcase in my room with old books we had and a worn copy of The Silmarillion with her name in it and asked my mom. This was three years later and she'd already passed away.

Thing is my mom was literally the only one of her five kids to visit her. Every fucking week for years seeing her hero's lights fade out, having to remind her who her daughter was. My grandfather just complained about how useless she was now and stole her food because she wouldn't remember. My mom kept her room decorated for Christmas all the time, it was the holidays every day for three years until her mom was gone. I wonder if she ever knew how abandoned she was by her family.

I have so many fucking regrets. My mom must've made the safe assumption I wouldn't care.
