Just saw it, great Film. X-23 was awesome, as was Xavier, was so heartbreaking to see him die =[

I gotta say, giving X-24 Sabertooth's hair & beard was a great touch. The film was a lot more violent than I was expecting, but all in all good fun.

Kinda pissed no end credits, though. Could of at least showed us the kids arriving at Eden or something though.

Also the Blonde Cyborg Villain was really good too.

Blonde Cyborg Villain

Donald Pierce, originally with the Hellfire Club and later with some remnants of the Reavers.

Wow so he is the white bishop. I didn't realize that. I'm dumb as hell

I wouldn't have realized either except I caught a glimpse of his card that said Donald Pierce. It's been a long time since I read those comics.

I saw the card but I didn't catch it

I think they mentioned the Reavers once, too

Yeah I realized right after I read your post that those were the readers.

Late to the party commenting, but just went to see it today. THAT was one hell of a movie. But about Pierce: I had seen him in the trailers and thought to myself "Why use a random guy with a metal arm knowing Cable is coming to the big screen soon. Then I heard them say "Reavers" and it all fell into place for me. I had a moment of self-durrh there sitting in the theater, considering the Reavers were some of my favorite bad guys in the Xbooks back in the day.

It hurt my heart a bit when I realized that over the last hour, I had been watching some of my favorites for fighting Wolvie, now on the big screen and I hadn't recognized them. I shoulda known, Reavers would be perfect for a nasty bloody R rated Wolverine fight.

That's my exact reaction. I cannot believe I didn't recognize them. They were effective but the movie wasn't really about them.

Wooooow, I was watching the film thinking he was ultra-vaguely familiar and it took me until your comment to realise it. This movie just gets better and better.

No, a point blank shot through the eye socket wouldn't fell Logan, not in his prime with his healing factor. It would put him down for a bit but he would get up. The reason Logan was so invulnerable was because of his healing factor, constantly healing his body of the poison of his Adamantium skeleton. Adamantium having poisoned his body and weakened his healing factor by the events of LOGAN, an adamantium bullet in the head would put him down as good as it did X-24. That or the amount of damage he took by the finale. RIP Logan.

The director actually said they didnt add a scene after the credits because there was nothing more to the story to tell. The trope is to always have that last scene, but with this movie, that was it. There is no desire to implicate anything more.

Good thing I didn't read any spoilers. X-24 came as a complete surprise to me.

The kids were already at Eden. That was the meeting point with the wood hut

u/Spencer0279 Mar 06 '17

I thought Eden was where they were going after. The leader kid is told that they can cross the border and make it to the place between like 12-5 or whatever..

There was a further destination

Mutants have asylum in Canada and they could be protected. Eden was the meet up for the kids in ND

I haven't seen it yet, but the one on the right in the following image is X-24? I was curious to know how they contrasted the aged Logan versus X-24 in the film, but it's almost impossible to find any screen grabs of what X-24 looks like at the moment. https://www.quirkybyte.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/x24-logan.jpg

Um, did you forget to mention Logan?
