THE WOLVERINE (Immortality, Guilt and Honour in Japan) EXPLORED

- Опубліковано 3 січ 2024
- The trajectory of the X-Men franchise post-Brett Ratner's "X-Men: Last Stand" presented a clear challenge for Marvel and Fox in handling the series. Ratner's approach, characterized by a seemingly indiscriminate elimination of major characters, reduction of mutant powers, and a misuse of iconic storylines, significantly deviated from the universe initially crafted by Singer in the first two films.
This left Marvel and Fox in a predicament, necessitating a delve into the past of the franchise, first manifested in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," a film that failed in every conceivable way. I mean they literally decided to suture Deadpools lips, something Deadpool 2 hilariously rectified. However, a notable course correction was achieved with "X-Men: First Class," which successfully reimagined Professor X's team, offering a refreshing reboot to the series.
"The Wolverine" then brought the narrative back to the present, dealing with the fallout of the catastrophic events in "Last Stand" for the first time.
We see Logan, played with depth and nuance by Hugh Jackman, in a state of self-imposed exile, haunted by the specter of Famke Janssen’s Jean Grey, a painful symbol of love lost and difficult choices made.
Director James Mangold, along with writers Mark Bomback, Scott Frank, and Christopher McQuarrie, perfectly capture the character's ferocity, look, humour and spirit. Distinguished by its engaging storyline, exhilarating action, and another stellar performance from Jackman, the film marks a significant improvement and serves as a rejuvenating chapter in the franchise.

The Wolverine is such an underrated Marvel film in my opinion.
Its not a marvel film. Its a fox film
@@GZP1023a fox film in association with marvel
I was outraged what they did to Darwin! It took decade for me to watch ANY X-Men film. It was disgusting and insulting. Just like the family in Logan. We're disposable. No matter how "good" we are. They live longer if only to spread no good.
"One of the most enigmatic figures in Marvel" DP is gonna take this video personally...
lol He will probz mention it in Deadpool 3
Nah he ❤'s wolvie
@@filmcomicsexplained would love to see tron legacy next
@@Teddymwenda
I thought he covered it already?
"One of" isn't "the most" 😅
I'm impressed Hugh Jackman was able to stay in such good shape for such a long time.
RDJ and Chris Evans quit because they got tired of staying in top shape even for millions.
Steroids are a hell of a drug
@@GZP1023yeah but his physique is still insane even with the rhoids. Like dude above said, Chris (whos younger ) couldn’t keep up his physique.
YES, this as well as Logan are the best films in the series.
I bet everyone cried when they saw the end of Logan, as he didn't go down without a fight, and finally found peace after so many years of guilt and discipline and survival.
Personally I thought this movie was a travesty.....travesty...... after hearing how the comic was written I really feel even more cheated. I honestly can't say why I seen I 1 time and it seemed so wrong to me for some reason I have never seen it again. It just didn't feel like wolverine to me. Then having his claws cut off like that just adds insult to injury. It's just my opinion nothing more but it just wasn't my idea of how wolverine would be.
@@vikingskuldI felt that way at the time of its release, but now it’s one of my favorites
Did they ever explain how he got his claws back in Logan?
@@Flint-Dibble-the-Don I don't think they did in the movie. Maybe in the comics I'm not sure. I would like to know though. Great question.
I no longer see it that way at all. Poisoning the Food Supply? You killed the "good" mutant trait too. I don't understand why the government is deceptive at all. No one fights or speaks up anyway. They show us how they fell about us. Yet somehow there's this divide. They are all together. How do you not know each city has tunnel system for every government building.
I still love this movie. People didn't like it but I did. It's one of the most underrated X-Men movies from Fox at the time
I remember seeing this in theaters this should have been rated R. Happy to see you reviewing this Wolverine movie.
Definitely one of my fav marvel movies, i always rewatch this and Logan back to back every year or so. Seeing them both one after another is so emotional because the end of wolverine 2013 ends with logan and yukiko leaving saying they will go on an adventure basically and it was uplifting. Then logan starts with him passed out in his cab old and broken, showing that adventure (days of futures past and apocalypse) didn’t end well. Can’t wait to see Hugh Jackman reprise the roll in deadpool 3!
I’m glad they did a lot of focus on wolverine. Thx for covering this movie. This is such a great movie.
My wife, Japanese, is also a train fan, when seeing Logan rip his way outside of the shinkansen said that the bullet trains stop (going to take some time moving at high speed, but they'll stop) if there's a pressure change, like someone opening the exit while it's moving
As a longtime 1980's teenage X-men comic book colector, Wolverine has always been a favorite of mine. This film was as good of an adaption of his back story as we could have expected from hollywod... When I first saw this film I was instantly taken back to the Wolverine Origin film and I think they they both mesh well together and seem to compliment each other. Ironicly I'm married to a wonderful lady from Nagasaki for 30+years now and have been to Nagasaki many times including the bomb site and it felt strange watching the A-bomb scene.. But of the two movies, it's a tough choice for me to pick which movie is best..🤔 But I do think Hugh Jackman will always be "Wolverine" in my mind and I would like to see a sequal, but Hugh Jackman is getting long-in-tooth so to speak! 😃 Thanks Nyat for this memorible and look at The Wolverine and bringing back those wonderful feelings when I watched it for the first time! 😃
That’s so cool Gary! Thanks for sharing mate :)
@@filmcomicsexplainedThanks for your kind words and keep up the great work on your reviews on film and comics topics!
Just a thought, but any chance we die-hard Wolverine fans can see the 2nd follow-up episode to "Wolverine a history of violence" thatfollows the 1st episode that you made earlier a awhile ago? I've been wondering about when it might be made as I look foreward to seeing your insights in that 2nd part to Wolverine's history!!
Xmen origins wolverine has got to be one of my fav movies frfr. Its Hughs 80s action movie
May you have many more wonderful years together. I would get that same feeling watching American History X. I would have to hear, "That is so horrible". Trying to commiserate racism is bad. They somehow are better than or above racism. Or, a released inmate trying to explain tattoos.
Thanks so much for this video so much brotha.
My pleasure brother!
I just realized if you head canon his memory of Jean's death as symbolic guilt for what he was doing in X2 instead of being literal, you can skip the last stand and go straight here without problem.
When I say what he did, I mean he could think (even if it isn’t true) that if he hadn't gone after Striker she might not have had to sacrificed herself. That wouldn’t be the case, but guilt isn't always based on the truth.
I dont know why but I still love the first Wolverine with all the ridiculousness
same i rewatch every year or so
"More ink than a comic book". What a wordsmith.
I loved this movie. The ninja’s taking Logan down was incredible. Great movie!
Excellent video thanks
this movie was brilliant, very underrated, i know it gets a lot of hate for the robot samurai battle at the end, but it really wasn't that bad. This wolverine movie and Logan are easily better than most of the movies in the mcu.
Mangold (in my opinion) is such an underrated director. Anyone who hasn’t seen it should go check out Copland. Arguably his best film.
if only he could keep away from social media.
The Wolverine vs Godzilla minus one:
“Let them fight”
lol
I hope they add a Japan portion to the Wolverine game that’s coming out. That would be awesome.
Man those comic book panels gave me serious nostalgia chills (especially that final "snikt"). I bought that same graphic novel when I was a kid and re-read it often. Thanks for the memories!
favorite film featuring Wolverine
304's good one Niad, I raise my glass to you good sir, Stay golden fam.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊
You never fail to make the best videos, this is honestly one of best UA-cam channels out there
Wolverine be keeping deadly company
for sure, 100% for sure, wolverine and cap America fought together at one point during the war
Yeah he was part of the howling commandos. Or joint task force working alongside them.
In avengers earths mightiest heroes the cartoon show he had a small cameo as a soldier during caps flash back episode. He's easily recognized by his beard and and he says bub 😂you could miss it tho goes by quick
This movie got some deserved flak but it's a damn good movie. Much better than most the stuff released nowadays. I was hoping this took off and possibly seeing more lone character stories fleshed out. Like seeing a Cyclops movie or something.
Wolverine vs shigen. Is so cool i love when it show when wolverine regenerate is finally back. This move and logan is my favorite xmen movie
Hugh Jackman is THE Wolverine in my eyes.
He’s the closest to my memories of the animated series as a kid. Perfect casting.
I like how they foreshadow Logan’s death when she says he will die with heart in his hands and Logan at the end he dies holding his daughter’s hand 😢
Happy New Year Niyat.
get rest and get better.
Just a thought to consider Nyat, but any chance we die-hard Wolverine fans can see the 2nd follow-up episode to your "Wolverine a history of violence" that follows the 1st episode that you made earlier a awhile ago? I've been wondering about when it might be made and looking foreward to seeing your insights in the 2nd part to Wolverine's history. Thanks Nyat!😃
i used to watch Wolverine that was my Favorite Movie
Mate all my holiday season surprises have come at once with your fantastic amount of uploading lately 🎉🎉🎉
Can't wait to watch. 😊 I watched half so far. I'll be doing a rewatch. So chock full of info. Very interesting video. Love the topic.
gotta be the one of the movies in heroes theme tbh, even with its flaws, its good to watch
Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching!
What an amazing intro, always love watching your videos
Happy new year Niyat!
Happy New Year!
Always really liked this one, it's one of the more underrated films of the franchise in my opinion. Excellent exploration as always
It’s great to hear your voice and the outro music again! Happy new year! Since I have t asked all yeah, I figured I would now, how about A Scanner Darkly? ❤❤

Grizzly Bear neighbor: Wanna hunt for some salmon later, no?
Bro I felt so bad for that bear, it was like his kindred spirit, chilling in the woods until people came and messed it up.
Many people dislike this movie but I loved it it's a great stand alone wolverine movie
Four minutes before the famous intro, so smoothly though
What is awesome is that I saw this a few weeks ago. This film is my favorite Wolverine film second to Logan.🙌🏼🔥👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you for making my morning.💯
Great and cool movie! Remember those? Cant believe we used to be picky.. we had it so good.
I ❤🇯🇵 culture
Love this movie apart from the adamantium rules being broken
Nice, thank you!
Great vid about a great movie
FINALLY!!!!!! What took you so long for part 2?
There was an anime adaptation of the comic story and it was good. This movie is high up there
I saw this opening day and I am pretty sure loudly groaned a couple times during the nuclear explosion scene when the soldier at the start didn't go blind from looking directly at the bomb going off and then with how slow it moved and the effects after. My friend elbowed me hard when Wolverine was getting burned up and I looked over to see him and three other strangers giving me death stares.
Well, time to settle in and actually WATCH the video now! Thanks for another one for me to enjoy, no doubt!
If you think the bomb was unrealistic, wait til you learn more about Logan
While I personally don’t really care too much for this movie, I will say its themes are amazing
bro the last time you did one of these was like 5 years ago and it was a part 1 and ive been waiting for part 2
My favorite Marvel character ❤
I hope to see you cover Darkseid from DC soon. My favorite DC character ❤
Cheers!
The grounded sections of this and Logan are what make them what they are. There is a lesson here for Marvel.
Great movie. Didnt like Viper though. They should have used a different mutant for that role.
Other than that bomb scene. I completely forgot this movie existed m
Helluva intro
Love the video Can you do Department of Mysteries and Azkaban from Harry Potter
Liked the twist at the end. Always found it so disturbing how someone wants to prolong their life beyond their natural lifespan.
Happy New Year Film comics explained 😃😎👍🤘❤🎉🎆
Are you still going to do part 2 of Wolverine Explained.
Get well soon!
I suggest videos on:
Clone Troopers
Palpatine
Anakin Skywalker AKA Darth Vader
The Boondock Saints
Stargate SG-1
The Death Star
X-21 AKA Laura Kinney
Uruk-Hai
Orcs
The White Witch
The Sith
Batman
Green Arrow
ima watch this and then the movie, i hope to create videos at your level of quality one day,
For the follow up - Logan.
I will say this. You are fantastic in your discription's of films & comics. I've said that before. It leads me to wonder if I'm really just really ignorant when it comes to the intricacies of adapted comic stories readapted.
Since Shang Chi 2 will still take place in the MCU Multiverse saga, and considering that the Silver Samurai has fought Shang Chi in the comics, what if for Shang Chi 3 it's a dual film with Wolverine? Like, since Wolverine is still the most popular member of the X-Men, Marvel Studios will more than likely continue the tradition of Wolverine solo films apart from the X-Men. So, let's say that at this point the MCU already has had one Wolverine solo film that ends with him going to Japan and meeting up with Shang Chi in the process. Shang Chi and Wolverine become friends, and both have reasons to defeat the Silver Samurai, seeing that fight on screen would be so cool.
I really liked this one . I thought the characters , cast and acting were great . Like The Borne Legacy with Renner I enjoyed them more than the rest .
This mutant-human-man-warrior endured alot.
X-Men origins wolverine gave us an awesome version of sabbertooth
So this ends up becoming the days of future past timeline
Explore The Ancient Enemy from The Phantoms.
How did logan get his metal claws back did his body grew them back
Magneto helped graft the adamantium back on to his claws
I always wondered the same
As good as “Logan” is the only thing that brings the movie down for me is the fact it’s essentially the same story as “The Wolverine” just in new settings with different characters. Both movies are dealing with his inner struggle and loss of his powers. The only difference is he dies in one.
Still think both movies are good though.
“…in a hotel room with 304’s…”
🤣 😂😅
Hugh Jackman is a GLOBAL treasure
👍👍👍🎥
I appreciate the attention to detail where in the x men movies the humans hate the mutants cos of their genetics but when logan was in Kabukicho? i think, he's hated cos he's a foreigner.
This movie was always just pretty meh to me, but i havent watched it in years. Maybe I should go back and watch it again.
Can you do tron legacy next
It’s definitely on the list!
Do yall see the diminishing returns? I hoped goku would would on his base form and start focusing on his Martial Arts
0:15 / 0:16 just made me think, shouldnt wolverine just be hair? since its not genetic "what length was i cut at last?" itd keep growing at the rate of his healing factor no?
or did i just make a new AU where the "big bad" is a wolverine who got infected or something sorta deviating his healing factor away from what it normally does, making a never ending dust bunny that keeps growing till its core/heart is essentially put down
Can you do a explained on wishmaster the 1997 classic
Honestly if you skip X3 Logan's guilt about Jean's death still works
dude was up there with 304s😂
I'm still pretty salty about what they did with Scott. You know, the actual leader of the X-Men...
Yeah I feel you. He was a good man, leader and partner of Jean and they just have her kill him almost off screen. What a waste
How did logan know about the bomb and yield,make and model of the bomb
Do Unicron explained
Another example of me loving a near universally hated film. I wish I knew what it was that made me like that. I'll admit though, it's the weakest of the 3.
I think it's better than origins myself, a bit more focused (and deadpool was done so dirty)
@@kingofhearts3185 yeah, the whole Merc with a Mouth without a mouth was more than a bit aggravating. I'm not a giant comic book fan but even I know that much. I think they were still trying to shed the campy feel of the X-Men movies.
Could you please do videos on 30 coins season 1 and 2? Please? 🥹
Nobody but Hugh could play wolverine just like how nobody else could play iron man but rdj
屈狸
Better than Logan in my opinion.
