Could you write a Laura/X-23 x deadpool reader who helps her after a nightmare?

*Snikt!*

Laura wakes up from a nightmare with a roar, waking up a sleeping Y/n-Pool.

Y/n: Nightmare?

Laura: Yes...

The two sit up against the headboard, Laura leaning against the reader.

Y/n: What was it about?

Laura: We were back in the facility. Back when they were experimenting on us before the escape.

She pauses as she thinks about the nightmare and all the horrible memories they had from that facility. Y/n pulls her closer and says,

Y/n: It's alright, it's over now. They won't be able to harm us or anyone again.

After a short pause, Laura breaks the silence and asks,

Laura: Can we just lay like this for a while?

Y/n: I'd love to, but first... Could you please pull out?

She looks at you confused before realizing she stabbed you with her claws as she awoke. She pulls them out and allowing you to heal.

Laura: I'm sorry.

Y/n: It's alright, benefits of a healing factor.

The State of Snikt: Marvel’s Many Wolverines

For someone that’s over a hundred years old, Logan Howlett has had quite the eventful decade and a half. He’s gone from being the marquee X-Man to becoming a core member of the Avengers to being dead to being replaced by his old man self from another universe and also his clone/surrogate daughter. And now, Logan’s back again, this time with heated claws. Here’s the issue: despite the Death of Wolverine series having taken place four years ago, the absence of Canada’s hairiest son hasn’t really been felt all that hard by readers and the rest of the Marvel universe.

Back in 2004, writer Brian Michael Bendis spearheaded Avengers: Disassembled, a crossover event that saw the core team of the Avengers torn apart through the manipulations of an insane Scarlet Witch. In the aftermath of this storyline, Bendis set about rebuilding the core Avengers roster into a lineup featuring Marvel’s All Stars. Gone were the Hawkeyes and Ant-Mans and Visions. The new Avengers team featured fan-favorite characters like Spider-Man, The Thing, Luke Cage, and of course, Wolverine. Logan’s duties on the Avengers didn’t take away from his X-Men presence, as he played a pivotal role in Joss Whedon’s acclaimed Astonishing X-Men run. In addition to being integral parts of two of Marvel’s top-selling comics, Logan was also enjoying a resurgence in mainstream popularity due to 21st Century Fox’s X-Men series, where he was portrayed by Hugh Jackman, lending Logan a massive dose of sex appeal (Jackman being 6′1″ compared to Logan’s comic book height of 5′3″ probably had something to do with that as well). These three factors combined with Wolverine’s prior fan-favorite status meant that for almost ten years it felt like Marvel’s mascot was a Canadian centenarian with anger issues.

Wolverine’s popularity would eventually reach oversaturation levels, and several editorial decisions had Logan take moral stances that seemed to clash with his personality and history, which lead to many fans (myself included) feel annoyed at the character’s perceived hypocrisy. In addition to being caught up in the latest universe shaking crossover, Logan also had his own origin movie, put out as a prequel to Fox’s X-Men series. However, dismal reviews and fan backlash lead to that movie being swept as far as possible under the rug. In the aftermath of Avengers vs X-Men, there was yet another Wolverine movie on the horizon, but the story of 2013′s The Wolverine seemed to capitalize on the fans’ growing annoyance with Logan’s continued overexposure by using a storyline involving the loss of his healing factor and possible death. Likewise, comic book Wolverine underwent a similar loss, which eventually culminated in 2014′s Death of Wolverine series.

For a while, it seemed like Logan would have a well-deserved rest. Of course, there were several snikt-adjacents that could rise to fill his absence, such as his reticent female clone X-23, AKA Laura Kinney. This did come about, but not without an asterisk: also along for the mainstream marvel universe ride was Logan, but an older version of himself from the 2008 alternate reality graphic novel, Old Man Logan by Mark Millar. The story itself was very popular and helped contribute to snikt-mania Marvel was undergoing at the time. However, there didn’t really seem to be any need to bring the character back for further adventures. Unfortunately, Marvel’s editorial didn’t seem to get that memo, which meant that in the aftermath of 2015′s big event/psuedo-reboot Secret Wars, it didn’t matter that Logan was dead. After all, he was right there on yet another X-Men team, just as grumpy as ever, only this time with grey hair. In addition to the Weapon X comic which featured a reformed Sabretooth teaming up with Logan’s morally questionable son Daken and former rival Lady Deathstrike for secret black ops missions against the government program that created them, fans didn’t ever really have a chance to live in a Logan-less world.

This brings us to today. The recent relaunch, Marvel Legacy, brought Logan back to life without really explaining how. All we know is that he had one of the Infinity Gems which he quickly left in Black Widow’s toilet. If that sounds stupid, well, it was. Right now there is an entire “Hunt for Wolverine” mini-series coming from Marvel, with four (4!) different sub-series, each four issues long, detailing the X-Men and Avengers efforts to find the man or his corpse. I like Logan, but I’m not buying 16 issues just to find out how unsuccessful each team was. Moreover, I’m not really that interested in what new gimmick Logan brings to the table this time around when it never really seemed like readers got proper closure on Laura’s tenure as Wolverine, especially now that she seems to be back to using her X-23 moniker. This especially leads into my biggest gripe about the return of Wolverine to the mainstream Marvel universe: he should have stayed dead for a lot longer, especially in the light of 2017’s Logan movie.

Logan takes the high concept of Mark Millar’s Old Man Logan series and turns it into a much more personal journey that functions as less of a Marvelized Unforgiven and much more of a swan song to Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine along with Patrick Stewart’s Charles Xavier. It is far and away the best solo Wolverine outing, and arguably the best X-Men film ever released. It also serves as a fantastic cinematic introduction to the character of X-23, portrayed wonderfully by 13-year old newcomer Dafne Keen. In fact, it’s a safe bet that Keen will be tapped for future appearances as X-23, even with the X-Men property’s recent acquisition by Disney. With this in mind, Marvel editorial’s decision to bring Logan back into the spotlight is incredibly counterintuitive given that the character’s very satisfying and climactic death is still so fresh in the public consciousness.

To make matters worse, the new twist on Wolverine’s powerset is so unnecessarily stupid that it feels like a parody: come his return, Logan will be able to superheat his claws so that they’re red-hot. It doesn’t add anything to Wolverine’s character, and doesn’t even change the way he fights. He’s still going to snikt and stab, but this time with less chance of blood and gore. Logan’s resurrection doesn’t come off as an event that Marvel has been building up to, but instead it feels like evidence that Marvel simply doesn’t know where to go with the character. And honestly, the answer may just be to let him rest a while longer.

So, This Is What It Feels Like

Logan

 Well hello again faithful readers, just want to say thank you for continuing to read this and bearing with me as I try to mold this into something that I can call my own. With saying all of that I think that I am going to change it up from the overdone aesthetic that many critics form their reviews into. So going to try and write this out as if I could afford for this to be an actual podcast and my words were coming loud and clear over a very nice listening device that you may own.

Welcome to another issue of my Diary where I indulge myself in everything movies and of course some TV. I have been watching a few movies of many different genres this week, a little more than I am used to. I really didn’t know where to begin so I am just really going to begin with one of the most popular movies in the past month or so, Logan.

Logan is set in 2029 and most of mutantkind has been wiped off the planet and seem to have been forgotten. Trying to live a quiet and uneventful life is Logan (Hugh Jackman) as a limo driver, while taking care of an elderly Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) who is slowly slipping into a state of dementia. Logan’s peaceful existence is shattered when he runs into a mysterious woman begging for his help. With her is an even more mysterious middle school aged girl who doesn’t say much at all. Trying to avoid helping this woman at all costs, trouble seems to find Logan anyway and soon he is swept up into a high stakes cat and mouse game that requires him to escort this girl named Laura (Dafne Keen) to North Dakota.

Like all of my other reviews, I am still going to start off with the positives because I truly believe that people like to hear the good stuff more than the bad. With that said, I am pretty positive that 20th Century Fox and X-Men producers Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner should just hand over the X-Franchise over to director James Mangold. He obviously knows to tell a great comic book story and bring a sense of realism to the franchise that I so desperately lacks. The X-Franchise is starting to remind me of the Batman Franchise before Christopher Nolan took over. After seeing this film, I think that Mangold would do great things to the X-Franchise if given the opportunity to reshape and maybe reboot (I hate that word) the whole franchise. Playing off the same themes of western classic Shane, Mangold’s Logan is a story about an aging cowboy “roped” in to one last fight, all the while finding his purpose again. That couldn’t have been pulled off any better than how Jackman portrays his most iconic character. Hugh Jackman has always given life to Wolverine, but nothing like this. In this film Jackman presents Logan with more depth than a weapon that loves a beautiful red head. Jackman’s interactions with Stewart are most superb about this film. Xavier here seems to be suffering from mental illness, which I know is ironic seeing what his mutant abilities are, and it is hinted throughout the film that he may be the cause of the mutant “extinction”. Because of this, Logan has this love/hate relationship with Xavier almost to the point of a child caring for an abusive father. Logan loves Xavier, but knows that he is the cause of a great loss. Stewart pulls off the sympathetic abusive father quite well because somewhere in Xavier’s mind, he knows he did something terrible but he can’t really remember what. As far as the newest member of the X-Family, Dafne Keen and her character Laura are hugely welcomed addition to the franchise. Laura turns out to be a direct clone of Logan with all the fixings (adamantium claws in both her knuckles and feet).  Keen gives us a vicious fighter and introverted pre-teen that  does an amazing job of taking what Jackman has created with Logan through nine films and yet making Laura a little more feral.

Now for my problems with Logan are twofold. First is the fact that I supported and still support Fox and Mangold’s decision to make this film a brutal R rating, there was some parts that I thought that were unnecessary and took the violence a little too far. One in particular scene is when the villainous Reavers come to capture young Laura. Holding Logan captive, the leader of the Reavers group sends a couple of unsuspecting goons to retrieve Laura from inside a building, while eating cereal no less…tisk tisk. The audience does not see the scuffle but hears the struggle. After the fight, we see young Laura walk outside backpack in one hand and a severed head in the other. I just didn’t find this needed. I think that the scene could have been just as impactful if Laura just walked out bloodstained. My second problem with this film isn’t really the films fault but the fault of all of the X-Men films. The continuity. This film doesn’t even connect to Mangold’s last Wolverine film. Logan makes references to the very first X-Men film but that is about it. Hey FOX, let’s put these films together and have them make sense!

Even with those minor problems, I found Logan to be quiet a potent film not just for the comic book genre but even for the modern western genre. In 2008 The Dark Knight elevated the comic book genre by using impactful crime film influences like that of Heat and here Mangold raises the bar for the genre yet again. If Logan is not mentioned come award season, a tragedy has befallen the world of film. Jackman and Stewart give powerful performances and Mangold conducts a brilliant orchestra of a film.

Definitely Worth Your Time.

ADD Talks About Logan

So Lora and I went to see Logan Saturday night, and the critics aren't lying. It's a real step forward for non-Marvel Studios superhero movies, with a genuinely adult sensibility, and an ability to wring compelling human emotion and nuance from the characters in a way not previously seen in these licensed-by-but-not-produced-by Marvel movies. (The rights issues of movies starring Marvel characters are pretty baroque, but I won't bore you with that here.) How good is it? Let's say 20 times better than the best X-Men movie, and 200 times better than the most recent Fantastic Four. There are many, many surprises in the film, as well as a spectacularly well-constructed on-the-run narrative. Dafne Keen, the actress who plays Laura in the film, the mysterious and very young woman who Logan is charged with protecting, has a huge career ahead of her if she continues in the movies, and Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman both deliver career-best work, taking full advantage of the history of these character both on film and in the comic books (which themselves play a fun little role in the story). Above all, Logan is a passing-the-baton tale that won't surprise readers of Wolverine stories of the past few years, and with that comes some very organic and powerful observations on feminism, diversity, and the benefits of everyone working together for the common good (let's call it democratic socialism, shall we?). It's never preachy, though. It's just an amazing ride from start to finish, with a wonderful supporting role for Eriq LaSalle (from ER) as a rural father who invites Logan, Professor X and Laura into his home for dinner with his family; the sequence has some of the funniest and most touching moments of the movie, and then...well, that would be telling. Rated R, Logan features the most convincing use of adamantium claws yet seen on the big screen, and the fight scenes are visceral and convincing, no shaky-cam or obvious editing fakery to try to dazzle you into suspending your disbelief. There's also a great deal of profanity, which seemed natural coming out of Logan's mouth, but I was shocked to hear Professor X use the F word. God, Patrick Stewart is so good in this movie. If you have any love at all for the X-Men franchise in general or Jackman as Wolverine in particular, try to see this on the big screen. It is genuinely epic in scope despite its very real grounding in the concepts of family and humanity, and I was stunned again and again by how great it looked and how good a time I was having. Best time I have had at the movies since Paterson. -- Alan David Doane

Grumpy Old X-Man

“We all got it coming, kid.” -Bill Munny, Unforgiven

An aging man, weary from too many battles and too few victories, all hope dead, finds a reason to rejoin the struggle that he’d hoped to have left behind him.

Also, I saw Logan.

Hi there, faithful reader. Miss me? I know that this technically should have been a review of Election, and this technically should have been posted on November 16, 2016, but the actual election broke my ability to write anything longform worth reading. But then I saw Logan tonight, and as the credits rolled I thought “I have to review this,” in much the same way that I thought it when I saw Raiders!: The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made last June.

The first X-Men comic I ever read was Uncanny X-Men #135 (published the day after my 12th birthday, not that this bit of synchronicity means anything except to yours truly). The X-Men, and especially the members of the team back when I started writing, have been special to me, and despite the various missteps that some of the movies have made, Hugh Jackman has always been absolutely solid as Wolverine even when he hasn’t been given the best material to work with.

Logan gave Hugh Jackman the best material of any project I’ve seen him in so far. This is the best movie Fox has made based on Marvel’s mutant characters, and a heartfelt farewell to Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.

Logan begins in the late 2020s, when no mutant births have taken place for years and the X-Men are no more. Logan now uses his birth name of James Howlett, and the only hope left to him after the incident that shattered the team that had become his family is that he can raise enough money to buy a boat that he can use to get himself and Charles Xavier (Sir Patrick Stewart), whose health and control of his telepathic powers are declining, to safety outside of America. It is the simplest of simple plans, and in the grand tradition of simple plans it is put in jeopardy when a woman named Gabriela (Elizabeth Rodriguez) begs him to take a young mutant with powers suspiciously like his own named Laura (Dafne Keen) north so that she can find refuge in a sanctuary called Eden

You deserve to find the rest out for yourself, so with one exception I’ll leave it at that. At one point Logan, Charles, and Laura pause in their trip toward Eden for rest, they watch Shane. For those of you unfamiliar with it, Shane is the story of a gunslinger who tries to put a life of violence behind him, only to be forced to return to old habits in order to protect innocents. He saves them, but has to leave because he has no place among peaceful folk. And he leaves the boy who’s been idolizing him through the movie with these parting words:

“Joey, there's no living with... with a killing. There's no going back from one. Right or wrong, it's a brand. A brand sticks. There's no going back. Now you run on home to your mother, and tell her... tell her everything's all right. And there aren't any more guns in the valley.”

As the quote I chose to open with should make obvious, Unforgiven would have been the Western that I would have used as a parallel to Logan, if only because of it being about two men of action well past their prime trying to guide a child in danger of becoming just like them through a dark and violent world. But the writers were wiser than that, and instead chose a movie about a man of violence trying to teach a child that there are better ways to follow than the bloody path they chose before it’s too late for the child to find the redemption life denied the man. Unforgiven portrayed a world where hope is delusion, and once the first drop of blood is spilled the only question is how deep the ocean of blood you drown in will be. Shane portrayed one where there is the hope, if not of leaving a life of violence behind, then at least of saving others from following your bloody example.

And in dark and uncertain times, we need whatever hope we can find.

Saw Logan (2017). I don’t think I’ll have to time to write on it, hence this little blurb here.

Having not seen a good deal of the X-Men films or knowing a lot about X-Men at all, I guess a few things flew over my head. But, at the end of the day, this non-reader of comic books enjoyed Logan. As soon as Laura, Charles Xavier, and Logan were watching Shane (1953) - a personal favorite Western of mine for all of its moral complexities underneath its black/white exterior (as well as its use of unreliable narration... the titular hero is viewed through a child’s perspective), and directly quoted in Logan’s final scene - in their hotel room, I pretty much knew where the film would be leading up towards thematically and what it would be trying to say. That’s not a knock, by the way... this is one of the best uses of a film within a film in a long time.

Logan itself is starkly shot and exceptionally violent, with two great performances from Patrick Stewart and Dafne Keen especially.

“Logan”: A Dark End for Wolverine

We all knew Hugh Jackman couldn’t keep playing Wolverine forever.  We also knew that the X-Men franchise would give him one more movie.  What we didn’t know was how good it would be.

It’s understandable that our hopes weren’t high.  Origins sucked, The Wolverine was only slightly better.  Many raised eyebrows when the title was announced as Logan instead of Wolverine.  It was like having a Superman sequel called Clark Kent.  But as it turns out, it was fitting to give it such a plain title.  While Logan counts as an X-Men movie, it breaks the mold the franchise created for itself in so many mind-blowing ways.

It’s also appropriate because in the film, Logan is technically not Wolverine anymore.  Taking place in yet another grim future (curse the constant time traveling), the X-Men are now gone.  Logan has firmly put being a superhero behind him, alternating between working as a chauffeur and taking care of an ailing Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart).  He’s in pretty bad shape too; the metal in his body his slowly poisoning him, reducing his healing and immorality rapidly.  Hey, they had to explain Jackman aging somehow...

It’s a grim existence soon broken by the arrival of a mutant child named Laura (Dafne Keen).  Comic book fans know exactly who she is.  But so I won’t give away any spoilers to the non-readers, let’s just say Logan has a very large obligation to her.  He reluctantly carts her and the Professor across the country to a supposed mutant refuge in North Dakota, trying to escape from the organization that created her.

If Logan was a different movie, this might have been the premise for an entertaining road trip.  It’s not.  Despite a few lighthearted moments, this isn’t your average Marvel movie.  Like its characters, it trudges through a grim and seemingly hopeless reality where there are no real superheroes anymore, only people that happen to be mutants.

That’s not exactly a bad thing.  Jackman and Stewart give their best performances ever.  Stewart is especially heartbreaking.  It’s really painful to we  the once-knowledgable mentor ravaged by dementia, suffering with grief and the strain of his deteriorating psychic abilities.  

Newcomer Keen holds her own quite well against those two powerhouse performances, even though she spends the first half in the movie screaming and impaling people.  She is undoubtedly the most badass child since Hit-Girl in Kick-Ass.

Another thing that makes it stand out in the X-Men series is the R-rating -- a hard R-rating.  There’s so much gore and f-bombs that it almost feel more like a a Quentin Tarantino western than anything else.  Yet fans will rejoice that we finally get to see comic book violence in all its glory.

Logan is undoubtedly the best of the Wolverine movies (perhaps even X-Men movies).  There hasn’t been a superhero movie so dark and gritty since The Dark Knight.  But it isn’t really a superhero movie -- it’s a superhero tragedy.  So don’t go in expecting the usual campy fun we’ve seen in the last X-Men movies.    Prepare yourself for ugly tears.

So long, Wolverine.  It was a wild ride.

Laura walks into the Void hideout to find Y/n-Pool setting up a damaged Christmas tree.

Laura: What is all this?

Y/n: I figured this place could use some last-minute Christmas cheer.

They get down from the latter to view their work before turning on the lights.

Y/n: What do you think, Honey Badger?

They both look down as something runs past their legs.

Laura: Is that an actual honey badger? With a bow around it?

Y/n: ...

Y/n: Merry Christmas?

Hey BOOp buddy! Can you please write something where Laura Kinney (X-23) and Y/n watch spooky movies and they both laugh when someone dies? Thanks!

Signed,

Flame

P.S.: If you get any notifications that say that I've booped you like 20 times, I have nothing to defend myself with. Because I did.

A/n: That's okay, I tried to BOOp you back as much as I could. By the way: BOOp!

Laura and Y/n lean against the headboard of their bed, a bowl of popcorn between them as they have a marathon of slasher movies.

They watch as a killer slowly chases their victim before they seemingly trip on air and get stabbed repeatedly. Laura and Y/n slowly turn to look at each other before letting out a fit of laughter at the scene.

Y/n (still laughing): You can tell that's ketchup!

Laura (also laughing): I know, besides, that's not what a stabbed person sounds like.

The abrupt sound causes Kitty to phase partly into their room, only to discover the reason for their laughter.

Kitty: You know how this looks out of context, right?
