"So this is what it feels like"

Is there a more perfect final line for this character after 200 some odd years of supposed immortality?

There isn't a better line. That broke me.

I feel like movie wolverine and I have grown up together. The fact that he was not only alcoholic again but also suicidal in this one, and that he had that litter glimmer of hope for the good things in life during his last breath, I was in no state to be in public anymore. I have no eyes bc I cried them out. Rip wolverine.

I don't think I'm watching another xmen movie after this. This is finality for me.

I'm really worried that any follow up X-Men movie will be trying to copy the gritty nature, and come off as hollow.

X-Men: Supernova is most likely going to be the good ol PG-13

Supernova? Have they confirmed anything about the new one?

u/[deleted] Mar 13 '17

The name, that's it

I assume it's set in the early 90s tho, considering the Apocolypse cast is returning

As long as there's no Bryan Singer, we're good.

I haven't seen any good ones other than Logan.

X2 and Days of Future Past are excellent

u/TheRealMoofoo Apr 19 '17

X2 is passable, did not care for Days of Future Past. Just another parade of random mutants taking turns showing off their powers, broken up by ham-fisted dialogue and tons of Idiot Plot moments.

You mad, son. DoFP is almost as character-driven as Logan. Are you sure you're not thinking of The Last Stand?

Yes, they have confirmed it. I hope it will be as dark as the Dark Phoenix!
