Logan (New Wolverine movie March 3rd 2017)

Just saw this and loved it. Hot Toys really needs to do a Wolverine /X23 two pack.

Are there any more Fassbender/McAvoy movies planned? I'm sure they'd love to sink their teeth into this more "realistic" and serious tone.

McAvoy will be back for both Boone's New Mutants & Kinberg's X-Men: Supernova (both of those are appropriately PG-13.) Fassbender hasn't signed on to anything yet.

The realistic and serious tone has always been around with this series though. They lost it in the Rothman era (The Last Stand, Origins) and with Apocalypse but the rest of the films have consistently been more grounded and cerebral.

I thought Apocalypse struck a perfect balance like X2 did with making the stakes and characters serious, but never forgetting to be a colorful and fun superhero tale.

Magneto's absence from Supernova would be fine considering where they are at the end of Apocalypse. You could see that in the first X-Men that it had been some time since they had seen each other when they encounter each other in Washington.

Since Logan was a one-off, I'd love to see them do something similar with Magneto Testament. They'd have to switch some things in order to get Fassbender in there and it'd contradict FC and X1 opening but I'd love to see that. I really don't care about continuity at all with these films.

Remember though, the events of Apocalypse didn't happen in the original timeline of X1. Anything from 1973 onwards was new according to DOFP. So not even X1-The Wolverine necessarily played out as they did in those movies....or something. I dunno.

That doesn't mean those events wouldn't have happened anyway. Logan and Xavier referencing the statue of liberty incident in Logan proves this.

There's no way to know what changed or what stayed the same.

Logan had a Japanese sword in his room, so that's obviously a reference to The Wolverine film, but not necessarily the same events.

It's logical to assume that the same events occurred in some capacity given how they referenced all of the previous films in one way or another from both timelines.

Don't try to make sense of it. None of it adds up.

The only 2 movies that are consistent with each other are X1 and X2, but even then, they have two different actors and actresses that portray Pyro and Kitty Pryde.

Isn't also possible this is on a different timeline? Maybe the same timeline as the original series and the wolverine series but not the DoFP or new series timelines? We still don't know what exactly happened to all the mutants in this film. None of the films so far have actually led to Logan .

 

[SNIKT1950]

Kinberg said Logan takes place in the new timeline as does everything since Apocalypse.

The reason Wolverine remembers the battle on Liberty Island is that he's "The Observer" aka the only person with memories of the original timeline (Xavier was referencing the hotel where Laura and Gabriela were staying, not the climax of X1 since he never lived it).

That's very true, but it's also implied at the end of DOFP that Logan told Xavier about the different timelines and what happened, in particular the broad strokes which would include the Statue of Liberty incident.

Xavier had a seizure and killed 600 people, including most of the X-Men. I forget who tells Xavier that's what happened, but it's in Logan.

I don't care about the continuity.

I don't even say that as a complaint. Comic book continuity is an absolute mess (I know, if you're a walking encyclopedia you can list all the brilliant transitions that justify everything). Honestly, a good third of the comic books I've read in my 40+ years were borderline garbage. I finally quit following titles like a sports team. Perfect example is X-23 - I loved the idea of her but every book I read was a slog. IMO the movie version is the best version of the character.

To be honest, as much as I may take the piss here and there, there's a pretty accurate representation of CB quality going on in the movie universes based on my experience.

I just want to know what happened to Logan's sweet X1 leather jacket. I love that jacket.

Was it different in X2?
I actually liked his look in X2 when he was briefly glancing at Alkali Lake with zero intent to investigate. I know it was 80s hairspray bad but I'm very old.

Yes, it's a different jacket. In the story/movie it's the same though. I like that one too.

This is the X1

X2

 

[YoNoSe]

Ideally I'd love an X1 HT figure. I still love his introduction in the Canadian hillbilly cage-match and his dialogue with Rogue when he discovers her and decides to help her out. It's not mind-blowing but it set a nice tone that sort of falls apart in the weirdly staged rescue that follows.

It was a news report on the radio after the hotel incident.

That's interesting- the X2 version looks so dark on-screen (if memory serves).
I'd take either one with a properly coifed Hyuge Jackman head.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Yeah, it is naturally darker.

Brand new it would look like this.
