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.

Y/N: a multiversal variant of your daughter but yes…and she’s an amazing girlfriend

Laura: dad go easy on him

Logan: he’ll heal

Y/N: before we begin, let me just say…I loved you in Greatest Showman

Logan charges at Y/N…

Ok let's imagine: Laura's teacher

note: yall i have too many imagines idk which gifs have used and which ones i havent but love love old man logan and wanted to do a teacher fic because i read @mcrdvcks "Until I Found You" and got super inspired, i also love laura and writing for her, almost never edited lmao

It was a rough start becoming a teacher, it was something you always dreamed about. You knew it was mundane, following a schedule and a pattern. But it was soothing to you, it was hard to adjust after a rough childhood, being around an emotionally explosive parent, you didn't have structure. School is where you had that, its where things could feel normal. But then you got older, and it was nothing like elementary school.

You had wanted to teach for younger kids but wound up with the middle school age. You remember a teacher telling you'd be good with junior high age kids. But you had hated middle school and hadn't dreamed of wounding up in one. You worked with your sister while you got your degree, though your majored in English. You loved working with special needs students, so her classroom was a good place.

But you wanted to focus on words, writing, and reading. You worked on building your emotional tolerance, really learning how to compartmentalize, especially with special needs children. There's a lot times you just can't put yourself first because your student needs you. It's a career that takes a lot and sometimes there doesn't seem like much of a reward. But that a student says something funny, or you are just a have moment where you look at them and you just feel care. That you wanna watch them grow because they had so much potential. It was hard when you knew the at-home life wasn't easy, wanting to do as much as you can for your students. You had to learn about boundaries and how much you could talk about with them. When you had to feel like you were almost betraying their trust if you and to report something they said.

If you saw a child in harm's way you had to report something about, not that you didn't want to. The children's safety always comes first, and that reality always hit when you had to make the hard decision. You haven't had to do much, but the times you had all you wanted to do was protect them, get them out of their situations. You did because you never got rescued, it just wasn't bad enough. But enough to set you up with a bucket full of mental issues. Then you dove into your teaching, putting on an act as you stood in a room full of preteens.

It's been two years since you started teaching in your own classroom. There was a whole feeling as you stepped into the room every morning. You turned on the switch for the vanilla candle melts, it had just turned seven o clock, when you look up to see Laura. She medium short hair, dark brown almost black eyes, she had a green backpack and a jean jacket. She wore sunglasses but knew when she walked into your classroom her hood needed to be down and her sunglasses away from her eyes. Laura came in early every morning and stayed until you left. You always waited for her father to show up, he would come in some mornings and bring your iced caramel maccatio.

You didn't like to admit but he was awfully handsome. In a rugged sorta way, his beard looked soft, and his eyes were a mossy shade of green. His hand which touch yours as he passed the drink over to you, your eyes scanning his outfit, a black suit, lightly wrinkled but of course he looked good. "What do you do?" You asked, as he cleared his throat, pulling at the tie.

"I'm a chauffer." Logan revealed, feeling lightly embarrassed as you smiled over at him.

"On the weekends I worked as a delivery driver, you like driving?"

"Yeah." He shrugged, "Got a bum leg." Logan nodding down at his right leg, as you scanned his face, before looking down at his leg. You wanted to press and asked what happened but he seemed uncomfortable.

"Thank you for the coffee, Logan." You smiled, before glancing over at Laura who sat at her desk, scribbling down in a notebook. She reminded you so much of you when you were a child. You could tell that she had been through a lot, she seemed to escape into writing just like you. You could also tell she really looked up to Logan and loved him very much. She regularly saw the school counselor for her anger issues, you'd walk her down and cheer her up after her sessions.

Singing 'Shake it off' with her to help her relax, one day her father came, "You listen to Taylor Swift?" Logan gruffed, walking into the room with the ice coffee, Laura following behind him.

"Yeah I do." You replied, glancing over at the Taylor Swift quote on your wall.

"Hmm, Laura keeps playing it." He grumbled.

"I can't say I'm sorry, Logan." You replied, crossing your arms over your chest. "But hey, I brought you a donut." You said, grabbing the box and handing it to her, she grinned up at you, looking up at her dad with a raised eyebrow. She took out a pink donut with sprinkles, humming as she brought it up to her mouth. "You want one?" You asked, as she moved the box up towards her dad.

"I wouldn't want-."

"Just take one." You groaned, mocking him as he grinned over at you. His crow's feet crinkling and making your stomach flutter a bit at the little sparkle in his eyes.

Logan brings up a donut to his mouth, humming while Laura mumbled something about going to the bathroom. He moves the donut away from his face and you stand up grabbing a tissue. Glancing up at him as you dabbed at his beard. "Got some frosting here." You smiled, glancing up into his eyes before leaning over to throw the tissue away.

"Sorry." Logan flushed a little, as you let out a little giggle before Laura walked back into the room with a smile on her face.

Later in the year, you went to a museum it matched the theme of the book you were about to read. You wanted to introduce it to them in a cool way, hoping it would interest more of the kids. Logan had signed up to a chaperone. Laura sticking to your side, which meant Logan wasn't too far off. He was grumpy with everyone but seemed to soften up with you. Little did you know how much Logan liked you. He never questioned why Laura came early and stayed later, you just accepted the coffee with an understanding gaze. He also thought that you were beautiful, even on the days you didn't wear makeup. Logan had been surprised, though he hadn't shown, he'd just scanned your face taken in each curve, freckle and indent.

There was definite tension between you and Logan, the other English teacher met up with you later during lunch. Giving you a look with raised eyebrows, "What?" You laughed, Maggie smiled over at you before glancing over at Logan while he sat by Laura.

"You and Logan." She started.

"What do you mean? We're just friends."

"Brings you coffee almost every morning." She added, you shrugged rolling your eyes. You've known Maggie since elementary school, you weren't surprised that she became a teacher. You weren't on bad terms, but you weren't really close since late middle school. But then you wound teaching the same thing at the same school. Your friendship igniting was nice, though it was really only inside the walls of the school. She had a family, and you were single, your lives were very different. You weren't sure if you were going to find someone, and then Logan walked into your life. Though you doubted he would go for someone like you.

When you got back to the bus, you wound in a seat with Logan. Who took up a good portion of the seat, moving his thighs into the aisle to give you room. Because you were a little bigger, you blushed feeling slightly embarrassed at your size. You imagined that Logan was used to skinny, fit women and you were chunky, and your body was built like models. You had stretch marks, you had extra fat on your love handles and hips. Eventually you healed your relationship with food, and you started to accept your body. But you had a crush on Logan, you wanted him to like you.

Then he pressed against you when the kids started filling up the bus, his arm moving the seat of the bus. You glanced up at him with heat in your cheeks, he was so warm, and he smelt like cigars and coffee. Logan glanced down at you as he heard the thrumming of your heart, noticing the flush in your cheeks. A smile curved on his face, and he moved to look up at the ceiling of the bus. When the kids all filled the bus, Logan moved back a little, but you slid a little closer. The side of your hip pressing into his, he stopped moving away from, relaxing his arm. You sniffed, your nose twitching as you glanced out the window, Logan looking over at you.

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.

Shawn Levy: Action!

Hugh: I don't think you guys are walking away from this.

Channing: Youjustmakesurepeopleknowwhathappenedheretoday-

At that moment, the two lost it and nearly fell to the ground in a fit of laughter, causing the other cast members to break character and laugh too.

Shawn: Again, you two?

Y/n and Dafne (still laughing): Sorry.

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: You bastard, you let your son kiss Laura.

Bruce: What?

Logan: So, you knew about it.

Bruce: What no, i didn’t know that Y/N kiss Laura.

Bruce: You should know that The other guy kick your ass number times.

Logan: I don’t fucking care, now transform you pussy.

Bruce’s eyes turn green and transform into The Hulk.

Hulk: Hulk Smash Little Man

Y/N walks in and sees His dad and Logan square off.

Y/N: Oh

Warning: This post contains big spoilers for the final scene of Logan. If you haven’t seen the movie and don’t want to know how it ends, read no further!

The unthinkable has happened, true believers. James Howlett, a.k.a. Logan, a.k.a Wolverine, has gone to his great reward. Sure, the character has already died in the comics, where deaths often have a way of reversing themselves. But based on the events in Logan, the new entry in the X-Men film franchise, it seems very much like this cinematic version of Wolverine — played by Hugh Jackman across 17 years and nine films — really isn’t coming back. In the final act of James Mangold‘s film, an aged, dying Logan pops his claws for one final battle, taking on the Reaver army commanded by Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook) and serving the interests of Zander Rice (Richard E. Grant), the head of the genetics company, Transigen, that was breeding its own army of mutant child soldiers until the kids went AWOL.

One of those escapees is Logan’s own daughter, Laura (Dafne Keen), created in a lab from his DNA. She’s been brought to him with the expectation that he’ll lead her and her fellow “New Mutants” from a dystopian future America to the relative safety of his home and native land, Canada. In order to do that, though, he’s got to get through a swath of Reavers, plus an even more lethal duplicate of himself, X-24, without succumbing to the injuries endured by his adamantium-poisoned body. Impaled on a tree during his bout with X-24, Logan is rescued by a well-aimed adamantium bullet fired by Laura that takes off the clone’s head. But this is one wound his celebrated healing factor can’t cure. Logan dies in the woods overlooking the Canadian border. “So this is what it feels like,” he says, as his spirit leaves his body. Laura and her comrades bury him where he lies, leaving — what else? — an X behind to mark the spot.

Clearly, there’s a lot to digest in this farewell to one of the all-time great cinematic superheroes. So follow along as Yahoo Movies editors Ethan Alter and Marcus Errico discuss the ins and outs of Jackman’s death scene, and what the X-franchise might be without him.

ETHAN ALTER: I have to admit that just before the credits rolled on Logan, I was bracing myself for James Howlett’s claws to come bursting out of his makeshift grave Carrie-style. That’s how trained we are as both consumers of comic books and comic book movies to expect miraculous resurrections in the closing splash page. But it seems that both James Mangold and Hugh Jackman are sticking to their guns about this being the final Wolverine story in this current incarnation. And while I have some issues with the movie as a whole (an inert second act, a fairly bland villain, and a pervasive nihilism that grows wearying), Logan’s ferocious rush toward death felt right and, more important, felt earned.

I should note that I was only ever a sporadic reader of Wolverine’s comic book exploits, so Jackman’s version is the one I’ve followed most intently since his debut 17 years ago in Bryan Singer‘s X-Men. I liked him immediately then, particularly the way he found just the right balance between menace and mischief. And I missed that earlier Logan throughout Logan, which, of course, is part of the point; the fight, to say nothing of the fun, has gone out of him and he’s a walking 200-plus year-old shadow of a hero, just marking time until the adamantium poisoning his blood drives him into his grave.

But the great thing about the final act of Logan is that it does give us back that youthful version of the character we met in X-Men. For starters, he rushes into battle specifically in the name of protecting a young mutant, X-23, just as he did with Anna Paquin‘s Rogue all those years ago. And, just like in the Statue of Liberty fight, he’s willing to trade his life for hers; in the earlier film, he allowed Rogue to “borrow” his healing factor even though it would potentially kill him. Here, he extinguishes his healing ability with that lethal dose of anti-virus and fights until he can’t stand anymore. For the most part, Logan is deliberately light on overt references to previous X-Men movies. But I love that Logan’s final on-screen moments so specifically recall his inaugural outing as an X-Man.

Your turn, Marcus! Do you also view the respective finales of X-Men and Logan as ideal bookends? And, be honest, did you also flash back to The Last Stand a little bit when Wolverine ran berserker-style through the woods in a sleeveless T-shirt?

MARCUS ERRICO: Yes, my friend, you are very correct about us viewers being conditioned to expect the Hollywood ending in comic-book movies. The dirt moved! Bruce Wayne’s on a Roman holiday, knocking back espressos. Heck, Wolverine already came back to life once before, reviving moments before the credits of Days of Future Past. One of the biggest knocks against the Marvel Cinematic Universe proper is the lack of stakes — no matter how dire our heroes’ predicament, we know Iron Man, Thor, and Cap are going to be back for the next Avengers. But Logan telegraphs from the get-go that there are stakes, and this will not be your typical superhero flick.

I grew up on the X-Men books of the 1980s, with Wolverine — a wise-cracking misfit and raging force of nature — front and center. From the outset in Singer’s X-Men, Jackman captured Wolverine’s inner turmoil, the James Dean of superheroes searching for his cause, which reached its apotheosis in Logan.

The film has so many meta moments — notably him thumbing through vintage X-Men comics, and him willfully downplaying those glory days — but, like you say, it also echoes that original X-Men movie. There, we have Wolverine finding humanity by helping surrogate daughter Rogue on a road trip/voyage of self-discovery. Here, it’s his real daughter, Laura. Those similarities are no accident. Logan/Jackman have gone full circle and it’s time to say sayonara.

While his death itself felt a bit underwhelming — this isn’t the first time a cinematic character has been fatally impaled by a jagged tree limb — I did appreciate how he was ultimately killed, and saved, by versions of himself. Very fitting.

ETHAN: I agree that the specific manner of his execution, death by tree branch, is familiar. I’m trying to think of another way I’d have seen the killing blow dished out. Maybe his “brother” X-24 could have skewered him just before Laura blew his clone brains out with that adamantium bullet? That would have been a nice callback to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and the rivalry between half-brothers James and Victor Creed, a.k.a Sabertooth. Although, I’m guessing everyone involved with the X-franchise would rather forget that particular entry exists. (Allow me to play devil’s advocate on one Origins element, though: I’ve always maintained that Liev Schreiber was a fantastic Sabertooth. I’m sorry he never got the chance to reprise the role or, you know, digitally replace Tyler Mane in X-Men like Hayden Christensen has now been swapped in for Sebastian Shaw as Ghost Anakin at the end of Return of the Jedi.)

Leaving aside the exact manner of how he got his fatal wound, I’m very glad that Mangold allowed the scene to play out well past that. One could accuse him and Jackman of milking Logan’s final moments far beyond what was necessary, but after 17 years, I think he’s earned a victory lap on his way to the graveyard. It’s so rare for an actor to get the opportunity to permanently retire a hero they’ve portrayed across multiple movies and decades. Off the top of my head, the only major examples that come to mind are Harrison Ford in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and William Shatner in Star Trek: Generations. (Although Kirk came back later on in book form.) The next big one, I’m assuming, will be when Robert Downey Jr.‘s Tony Stark dies — for real this time — in an upcoming Avengers movie. Because you know that’s the last big trump card the current incarnation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will play.

I also think that Jackman couldn’t have delivered Logan’s last line, “So this is what it feels like,” any more eloquently. On the scale of a superhero’s dying words, it notches in well above “Not like this — like this!” and “Doomsday…is he…is he.” Is there something else, though, that you would rather have heard him say? Like, “Tell Deadpool to eff off.”

MARCUS: Ha! No, I agree with you there. The final line was a heartbreaker. As a father to a daughter, the poignancy of their goodbye hit me right in the solar plexus. And don’t get me wrong, I loved the setup for his big death: a rejuvenated Wolverine who literally battles a soulless form of himself to save the best part of him. That works for me. And I guess I can forgive the stick-through-the-heart trope.

Jackman milked the moment and delivered. I found it far more rewarding — and earned — than Han Solo’s demise, which felt like it served Harrison Ford more than the character or franchise.

But there are so many wrenching farewells in Logan. It’s early in the year, but I could see some awards love going to Patrick Stewart for his Professor X swan song. This is as Shakespearean as comic book movies get.

That said, do you think people will be satisfied with the ending? Are the “new mutants” interesting enough beyond Laura/X-23? And will folks find the lack of a credits scene a letdown, since it’s something we’ve been taught to expect from all these comic-book flicks?

ETHAN: I think that hardcore Wolverine fans — those who have been craving an R-rated version of his exploits since the first movie — will be thrilled with Logan overall, and ecstatic with the ending. It gives the character a final full-on berserker killing spree, followed by the kind of melodramatically macho exit that aging fanboys adore. In that way, it’s both Shakespearean and Eastwood-ian. Had Clint not been otherwise engaged with Sully, it’s easy to imagine him behind the camera here.

One plea to those aging fanboys: Please, please, please do not bring your kids to Logan under any circumstances. Even if they’ve watched all the other X-films, plus Wolverine’s solo adventures, they should pay their respects to Logan when they’re a little older. Beyond the heightened level of brutality, the movie is rife with depictions of child abuse that work within the context of the story, but would be deeply upsetting to kids and the parents of kids, myself included.

Because of that, I actually think Logan can’t be the direct link to whatever the next generation of the X-Men franchise proves to be. The film ends with Laura and the other New Mutants crossing the border to Canada while Wolverine, like Moses, doesn’t live to see the promised land. That establishes a seemingly clean line of continuity, with Logan passing the torch to Laura. But, speaking for myself here, I’m not especially eager to spend any more time in this particular future, which seems like a narrative dead end to me.

A New Mutants movie set in this timeline would almost have to be as dark and depressing as Logan for it to feel like a natural successor. And if Fox’s mission going forward is to find new ways to bring new fans into the aging X-Men franchise, young audiences in particular are just going to be left out if that future involves an R-rated X-23 movie. Better to let Logan’s passing mark the end of an era, and create a New Mutants movie from the ground up that has some of the same maturity — but also the childlike fun — of Bryan Singer’s original X-Men outing, which is largely responsible for the franchise-rich present we inhabit.

MARCUS: Funny you mentioned Eastwood. The Old Man Logan comic, which this film is very loosely based on, is essentially a Western, and, in the end, Wolverine gets to walk off into the sunset with a renewed sense of purpose. My inner fanboy is saddened by the finality of the film, because Jackman was so good as Wolverine, usually better than the material deserved. And I think he and Mangold knew that the sunset-walk wasn’t an option for them — they needed Wolverine to be buried to establish the certainty of his death, as much as Harrison Ford needed Han Solo to be impaled by a lightsaber, fall into a bottomless chasm, and, for good measure, get blown up with the rest of the planet. Neither is coming back.

As much as I loved the character of Laura, and the performance of Dafne Keen, I don’t see a viable sequel from here either. Laura/X-23 is currently the “all-new Wolverine” in the comics after a long stint on X-Force. But Fox has already decided to do X-Force as a second Deadpool sequel, and the New Mutants movie that begins shooting this year seems to be linked with the younger characters introduced in X-Men: Apocalypse. You are absolutely right that a film set in Logan’s dystopian future featuring a team of kids would be tonally jarring and all kinds of inappropriate. Wolverine’s DNA and his spirit live on in Laura. There’s a rebirth of mutants. There’s hope. There’s closure.

If that doesn’t satiate the Hollywood suits, we might get prequels, reboots, or, help us, another time reset. But I prefer that Jackman’s Wolverine rest in peace. He deserves it and so do we.

“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.

Y/n and the Deadpool and Wolverine cast stand around a cake box sitting in the middle of the table. Surrounding them are birthday decorations, all matching a certain theme.

Y/n: It's beautiful.

Hugh: What is?

They quickly turn around, trying to block the box as someone else turns off the lights before Hugh can see anything.

Dafne (whispering): Is everything in place?

Y/n (whispering): I think so.

Suddenly, they turn on the lights and yell...

Everyone: Suprise!!!

Hugh walks forward and looks down at a Wolverine themed cake with the phrase, "Only 34 More Years To Go!" in large writing. He then looks around at all the Wolverine birthday decorations.

[multi-fandom-enjoyer]

Y/n: Babe, please.

Laura (chuckles): For the last time, Y/n, no.

Y/n: We finally got to see Hugh in it, and it looked so cool.

Y/n hold up Mary Puppins as they both give her puppy eyes.

Y/n: Please?

Laura (sighs): Fine, just this once.

She scratches Mary Puppins's head before leaving, only to return a moment later wearing the iconic yellow-and-blue suit.

Laura: Happy?

Y/n (wipes blood from their nose): Yes...

Laura (Smirks): On second thought, I might wear this more often.

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?
