Logan (New Wolverine movie March 3rd 2017)

The jackets were all great. The focus they gave the jacket in Origins was ****ing asinine though.

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).

It would have to though.

The only reason Logan and Rogue meet Professor Xavier, Scott, Jean and Storm is because of the events of the first film! That means Magneto is still looking for Rogue, he's with Mystique, they have the Statue of Liberty scheme, etc.


How do we know it still occurred in timeline B? Because at the end of DOFP in the revised future, we see Rogue is at the mansion and she has her white streak (that she got from Magneto at the Statue of Liberty). Not only that, but Logan is there and Scott, Jean, Beast and Storm recognize him. So the only explanation is, well,

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.

Is this. It all happened.


The only way Logan and Rogue get to Professor X is via Sabertooth trying to kidnap her for Magneto. That's X1's plot and it's crucial. So even Timeline B doesn't even make sense. Apocalypse Magneto and Mystique team up again after it's clear Mystique wants nothing to do with him in the revised timeline? Magneto is still going to carry out his 2000s scheme even though he and Xavier left off on good terms? None of it adds up. Even something like The Wolverine can't happen thanks to DOFP because one of the catalysts for that story to even occur was the death of Jean Grey, who isn't dead in this new time line! So why is there a sword in Logan?



All these movies are their own thing. None of the continuities make a lick of sense pre-DOFP or post-DOFP and it's clear Singer, Kingberg, Mangold don't really care about any specific timeline and just set out to do their own take and make an individual story that stands on it's own.

Logan and Get Out, continued their successful runs as they finished in second and third position respectfully, with Logan just $6.3 million shy of topping The LEGO Batman Movie as the highest grossing domestic release of 2017 in just ten days.

In second is Fox's Logan, which topped $100 million domestically in just five days and with an estimated $37.85 million this weekend has now brought in over $150 million in just ten days.

Of the three standalone Wolverine films this is already the second largest grossing and only needs $27.2 million to top 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Logan's 57.2% second weekend drop is a bit more than we were predicting in our weekend preview, but it is well within expectation for a film that opened as large as it did.


As of now, Logan is the second largest domestic release of 2017 and will soon be passing The LEGO Batman Movie to top the list (though Beauty and the Beast will soon be assuming that crown). Internationally, however, Logan currently stands as the #1 release of 2017 after taking in an estimated $70.3 million from 79 markets this weekend for an international total of $285.6 million and a worldwide cume of $438.3 million making it the highest grossing worldwide release among the three standalone Wolverine releases. Logan hits theaters in Japan on June 1.

Whenever I think I get the movie continuity

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

X-23 with barely any dialogue is a much better character than Rey.

Logan's death I cried.

Han's death I did not cry.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Logan's death I cried.

Han's death I did not cry.

I didn't cry when Logan died, but the girl's acting was so good that I felt bad for her...even days after seeing the film...for a fictional character.

 

[jye4ever]

First viewing I also didn't.

Second viewing ****ed me up.

I was either crying because Logan died or because kara didn't love the movie.

Timeline B doesn't even make sense.

Its very simple. Nothing that happened after 1973 (X1, X2, X3, the third act of Origins, The Wolverine) happened in this new timeline.

All these movies are their own thing. None of the continuities make a lick of sense pre-DOFP or post-DOFP and it's clear Singer, Kingberg, Mangold don't really care about any specific timeline and just set out to do their own take and make an individual story that stands on it's own.

The continuity is fine. The story of the X-Men in the original timeline ended with DOFP. The story of the X-Men in this new timeline is something the studio is currently developing film by film (X-Men: Supernova and New Mutants are both set in the 90s).

Logan is an epilogue. It shows us how Wolverine and Xavier go out and informs us that the core X-Men will die in 2028. X-Force will probably be set post-Logan and will too reference the fact that the X-Men are dead and a new team of mutants has to pick up the slack.

I honestly think they won't release that many movies to explain this.

Logan's death I cried.

Han's death I did not cry.

Yea could care less about any character in the force awakens tbh. Hope the next movie changes my mind.

 

[SNIKT1950]

I honestly think they won't release that many movies to explain this.

Its not about explaining, but rather overlapping. Best example being the Phoenix Saga. X3 gave us a reduced version of The Phoenix Saga set in the 2010s. X-Men: Supernova will tackle The Phoenix Saga at its full [cosmic] potential in the 90s.

Eventually the First Class cast (Stewart, Fassbender, etc) will arrive at the time X1 took place in the other timeline.

Han's death was a shock, it just happened and his body fell. It was loud and didn't give you time to appreciate it. Logan was the exact opposite. It was quiet, took its time, let you take it in while you welled up and all the last 17 years of history came into your head as Hugh breathed his last breath. Harrison just cashed his cheque while Hugh said goodbye to us.

Logan is the second movie ever to give me watery eyes. I wonder how a 3rd viewing is going to be for me because my second viewing was much better than my first.

This!

Deaths didn't impact me at all for some reason, and I'm reading that's the case for a lot of you, which makes me exited for my second viewing cause apparently you all cried in your second

So I'll carry some tissues.
