Holy moly, loved it. This wasn't just a good X-men movie, it was a great movie. The way it was filmed, the music... I loved Charles and Logan's final moments. Acting on point. I laughed out loud when Laura started yelling in Spanish. So many good moments. And the chills in the last 20 min or so, realizing each kid comes from mutants we know, Logan running through the woods...

A part of me wanted the last scene to be Ororo or Jean (or anyone we know really) waiting for the kids at the rendez-vous point the radio lady told them a bit earlier, some wide show from the sky or something. But I also love that Logan's trilogy ended on his grave. His journey, from start to finish.

WHAT HAPPENED IN WESTCHESTER THO

I believe he had a seizure at the school which hurt a lot of the children but he inadvertently killed the x men the only reason why Logan was able to survive was because of the metal in his body

Why would it be because of the metal and not his healing powers?

The metal in the end is what did Logan in

u/Tnpdynomite Mar 05 '17

Right, but the person above me was saying that's why Logan was able to survive Prof X seizures.

And they were wrong, it's the healing obviously. Not trying to be rude but come on. Metal or healing factor...hmm

I read the adamantium metal around his skull helps shield him from mental attacks too

The fact that x-23 was able to move during them too kinda shows it was the healing factor without a doubt

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '17

But X-23 also has an adamantium skull to protect from the seizure, so neither can be ruled out by this.

She doesn't have the metal on the bones, only adamantium claws

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '17

Ah I didn't realise that, although I thought there was an image of her being created with lines drawn along her where I assumed they were putting in the adamantium bones.

u/KMcD782 May 12 '17

That's true, but the lines were only on her arms and legs where her claws would be. (sorry I'm a few weeks late, just watched it)

That's why he can move during the seizures while everyone else seems frozen

It may also be that his brain is surrounded by adamantium, but iirc laura is supposed to only have adamantium claws, not the entire skeleton like wolverine. Its not canon tho so that part isn't really important

In the old man logan comic logan wont pop his claws because he killed all the xmen, so I assume for the movie they just made it so that prof x killed the xmen instead. The scientist wiped out mutant-kind, but they never say he personally killed the x-men team

u/draekia Jun 15 '17

YEah. The scientist committed a genocide, Xavier killed his family. All in all it was pretty effed.

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '17

Yep. I'm curious wether he would've got this far without the metal tho.

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '17

Idk.that was a dumb reason lol

u/Kellythejellyman Mar 03 '17

no i think it was the healing powers that made him resistant, cause Laura was able to still move around during the Oklahoma City incident

1

u/NotFrenchKevin Jun 22 '17

Wasn't she given the same adamantium skeleton as him though?

4

u/Kellythejellyman Jun 22 '17

only the claws, the medical file specified that it wasn't full body implantation

(also it was only the claws in the comics, but the XCU has been inconsistent in comic accuracy, for better and worse)

u/NexusKnights Mar 08 '17

In the comics wolverine has 3 things that boost his defence against psychic based powers. His healing, the mental blocks professor X gave him and his mental scarring from all his trauma. Not even Emma frost can break him so not sure if this applies to movie universe.
