For Days of Future Past, PLEASE watch “The Rogue Cut”!!! It’s a better version of that movie that adds a whole subplot! The theatrical cut is luckily great, but The Rogue Cut is way better!!!
I think one of the lesser known abilities that wolverine has is animal empathy, I think it has something to do with his animalistic nature, but the reason why the grizzly never attacked him, and the reason why he did what he did is because the grizzly and him could probably see each other’s peaceful nature, And share their feelings
@@cptbabyface9804Thankfully that awful retcon in Wolverine #53 in 2007 was reversed (re-retconned?) in Wolverine #312 in 2012. Remus (Romulus’ sister) confirmed that the Lupines didn’t exist and this was all to mess with his head. Basically the physical trauma wasn’t good enough and Romulus really wanted to damage his psyche which is a bit of a recurring theme. Unfortunately, that same issue had some retcons around the origins of Weapon X that make no sense and still haven’t been cleared up.
the reason Logan was paying attention to the tattoos is because in Japan the only people usually covered in tattoos are people who are apart of the Yakuza (japanese mob) so with Logan aware they were after the family it was a tip off
That is a belief that is more common with the older generation. There are more and more people that have tattoos in Japan that have nothing to do with the mafia.
I'd hate to rain on your parade, but saying "apart" means to divide, break into pieces or parts, or to disassemble. I still understand the sentence, but misspelling a word can change the sentence entirely, so the word you're looking for is "a part."
Hugh Jackman said he was never completely satisfied with his appearance in the previous movies. So he got absolutely jacked for this one and he said he felt like it was closer to the comics.
@@mrjason8666That was the peak. Even he was impressed by himself when he was standing in front of the mirror for that scene thinking he’ll never look like that again.
To give some context in Japan, shame is considered worse than death. To lose a battle and not kill the person you were facing was considered dishonorable unless you were to take your own life with a ritual suicide known as Seppuku (what was happening at the beginning with people kneeling with their daggers), killing or dying facing the person you lost to. Also the socks with "sandals" is a traditional way of dressing in Japan
This movie wasn’t regarded highly but I agree with you and I think it’s underrated. By the way, asking a ninja not to parkour is like asking a Hefner not to make a sex reference
Being Australian, I can definitely say that Hugh Jackman is as nice in person, as he is in interviews. I haven't "met" him, however I have seen him (I didn't go over like many others did as he was actually eating with his wife). My friends and I were in a restaurant in the city (Sydney) at Circular Quay, and Hugh was there with his wife. Most people didn't approach him, and there was a group of 6 or 7 people who did. He simply asked if they would let him finish his meal with his wife, then he would be happy to sign autographs and take photo's (which he did). His wife was just as nice, she was the one taking the photographs for the fans. This was about 12 years ago now, but I have never forgotten how nice he was and how he handled that situation.
33:07 - while I have never met Hugh Jackman, he does have a reputation for being one of the nicest people in Hollywood. People say he’s a really kind, down-to-earth, normal guy who’s super nice to everyone, including fans he meets. Would love to meet him one day!
The movies don't do a great job of explaining how Xavier survived, but there is a reason. In "The Last Stand", Charles is giving a lecture about the ethics of psychic powers. He shows a video of a man who is brain-dead being kept alive artificially and asks his class if it is ethical for a psychic mutant to plant their consciousness in his body, and then right before he dies at Jean's hand, he does exactly that. But what the movie doesn't make explicitly clear is that that man is Charles's twin brother who had been brain dead their entire lives, which is why he still looks and sounds like himself. There's no explanation for how he's still paralyzed, though. And the only reason people know this is because it was in the screenwriter's commentary on "The Last Stand." Also, tue doctor who was keeping his brother alive was Moira McTaggert, whom you may remember from "First Class."
To be fair, being crippled seems to be Charles' default state. How many times has he been cured only to be re-crippled? And whatever number it is (it is several) consider how weird it is to happen twice, much less over and over.
I got all this by only watching the movies I think he is just focused on being entertaining which is fine but sometimes he doesn’t pickup on everything. When I go into movies I make sure to pick up every detail I can, it makes it more fun for me.
This was probably ret-conned, but at one point, it was said that Xavier can walk perfectly fine, but he chooses not to so that he can focus on using his brain more. So, in his old body he was crippled, and could have gotten so used to it that he chose to continue in his new body.
Because you asked: I actually met Hugh Jackman! He picked me out of the audience during his Back On Broadway show during the opening of the 2nd act. He was reprising his role as Peter Allen from The Boy From Oz. It was a totally crazy experience since he asked my name and pretended to flirt with me, etc. I was totally star struck. I didn’t come down from that high for about a week!
If you're confused, there was an after credit scene where Patrick Stewart was laying in a hospital bed in a very pretty house. The story behind that was Charles was born a twin, but while he and his twin were in the womb Charles had mutant powers and absorbed the twin's mind/conciseness, so that twin was born in acoma. Years later when Charles Xavior was killed he managed to transfer his mind into the twin, so in essence Charles never died.

@@rohandante Let me put it this way, one of Wolverine's listed characteristics in his comics is "big in Japan". This was a unique thing for a comic book character. Japanese comic book readers basically breathe life into what would become the Wolverine we all know and love. never mind all the story elements that they wasted. Wolverine vs the Silver Samurai should have one of the most epic battles ever instead...well you saw what we got.
@@rohandante You want to understand just how important Japan is to Wolverine's story, read "Wolverine By Chris Claremont", and "Wolverine: Blood debt" by Steve Skroce, and if you want to fully understand what Amiko and Yukio means to him, read Kitty Pryde and Wolverine by Chris Claremont.
An Atomic Bomb is basically a huge explosion with super heat that will insta vaporize anything within range. Then it disperses a huge shockwave that will smack everything in range. And then the fallout will fall down and kill everything in its range within a certain time. You have about 2-3 days then the immediate decay is over and you could leave without getting killed instantly..if you survived the blast
It worked very well, the way they took the story. In comics it was a long tour of Japan and his relationship with the daughter. And I believe it was a long story arc in Wolverine's own titled comic. So now Magneto AND Xavier have come to ask Logan's help. Where it goes is maybe the best written storyline in X-men history. It has a fairly substantially huge finish as well.
met mister jackman in lower manhatten some years ago - i gave a quiet nod just to show love - as he was with his fam. he nods back - like 3 mins later comes over hand shake and we spoke for a few - SUPER NICE MAN
I for once don’t have a lot to say because this movie was actually pretty good about answering questions. Also because the plot isn’t all that connected to the rest of what was happening in the X-men movies. A quick fun fact! There’s a deleted scene from the end of this movie that shows Logan being given a briefcase that contains the comic accurate yellow and blue/black suit and everyone got so hype but sadly it’s deleted for a reason. Only one more movie before Deadpool!! And Days of Future Past is also one of the great ones!
I hope Phoenix comes back in the MCU as has been rumored. Famke Janssen is awesome and I'm always happy to see her getting more high-profile roles and such.
@@robertreichle1 Sadly the older actors are the only ones Marvel can use because of the stupid contracts Fox had with the actors from the previous movies which don't end until after something like 2025. No new actors can be cast until then so don't expect a new X-Men movie until about 2030. Until then it's either using the old original cast or the newer one that nobody cared about in the last few movies.
On film sets, at least when he was making the first 2 X-Men films, Hugh knew all of the crew and would even try to help out. I met him in Toronto. Super nice guy. He's every bit as cool and friendly as you would hope.
The Wolverine movie is based on Wolverines first solo comic where he moves to Japan. In the comic Logan had a romantic relationship with both Mariko and Yukio. Yukio in the comics isn't a mutant she's a regular human mercenary.
"where to? we'll see.... sounds fun!" - you coming in with the totally pragmatic and realistic "uh no, seems really problematic for the pilots, they dont know which way to fly..." killed me. that was just supposed to be a dramatic movie line lmfao
Absolutely loving your enthusiasm for these X-men films. Personally, The Wolverine wasn't one of my favourites in the series but it had it's moments. The Days of Future Past however is definitely one of my favourite comic book superhero films of all time let alone in the X-men series.
In the end, the guy takes his Adamantium to "heal himself," but the Adamantium isn't what heals Wolverine. That's in his DNA. The Adamantium is just bonded to his bones
There's a deleted scene on the plane at the end where Yukio gives Logan a case. He opens to it find the comic book Wolverine suit and it would have made the film end so well if they kept that in. Seeing as it looks like he's going to don that outfit in the new Deadpool!
Ah! I have actually met him! I was at comic con and his flight made him late to his panel. He came in on the Twilight panel (I was young okay) to apologize even though we weren’t the same crowd and walked around saying hello. My mom is in a wheelchair and he stopped to shake her hand and tell her she was beautiful. Such a sweet guy!
Murimasa is something the comics use to take away healing factors, wolverines son daken has his claws dipped in it, wolverine had a special sword made that took over a decade to make that can kill anything, he gave it to Cyclops to hide it from him
Hugh jackman is seen as one of the nicest guys. There was a sweet moment where a guy was interviewing him, and hugh remembered him as one of his students when he taught PE in school, and they had a little banter together, it was a funny and sweet moment of hugh
I've been binging your videos for the last couple of days and you've become one of my favorite reactors. I love the theme with the marvel universe and the way you sprinkle in different kind of movies in between. Just wanted to leave a comment and say thanks for great content! :)
Tattoos in Japan are associated with Yakuza. Most people in Japan do not get tattoos and a lot of places will not serve you if you have them… even as an American tourist. A lot of places are trying to change the narrative but it’s still strict in places. So keep that in mind if you travel there.
At 16:48 when you said, “just add a sound effect and do it in a comical way,” well just play Yackety Sax, aka the Benny Hill theme song, & you get the same result 😆
Alex goes from wondering why someone would give up immortality to pondering all the emotional and psychological trauma you'd collect while living forever. Dude basically answered his own question immediately. Carrying all that trauma takes its toll, and you'd probably reach a point where you'd welcome death just because it's a rest from it all that you never thought you'd get. But Logan knows the toll it takes, and he knows that those who seek his kind of immortality don't truly grasp what it means to live forever and all that comes with it. The end credits scene with Magneto and Charles leads into the next movie, X-Men: Days Of Future Past, and it's probably the best ensemble X-Men movie of them all. Logan is also incredible, and it's the best Wolverine solo movie.

To answer your question, I did indeed meet Hugh Jackman. 3 years ago in the SDCCI. Ended up winning a raffle to have a SPEN A DAY WITH HUGH thing. Even gave me a plus one, so my hubby tagged along. Asked me what I wanted to do, so I thought it would be a good idea to go to a soup kitchen to volunteer to serve dinner to some homeless DV survivors. We did just that with no enterage or security guards. We had a good time helping out. Gave hubby some MA pointers, and gave me some pointers to for self defense. I then taught him on how to cook a muffin inside an orange inside a camp fire and some old girl scout pointers just in case he needed them in the future. He thought the orange muffin was a genius idea. After all that we then exchanged digits. He is one of those salt of the earth please who never would get tempted to have a huge ego. We still communicate to this day.
minor "spoiler" alert: Logan did not die on that table; Yukio's vision refers to something that happens in "Logan", even though it does in more of a metaphorical way, which has been confirmed by the director. pretty sure it was a convenience thing rather than being planned like that from the very beginning though...😅 still fits quite good.
The reveal that Charles is back at the end of this movie is a nice callback to X3, when he discusses the ethics of it with his students. "This case study was sent to me by a colleague, Dr. Moira MacTaggert.The man you see here was born with no higher-level brain functions. His organs and nervous system work, but he has no consciousness to speak of. Now, what if we were to transfer the consciousness of one person, say a father of four with terminal cancer, into the body of this man? How are we to decide what falls within the range of ethical behavior?" When Charles greets Moira at the end of X3, it's because he'd transferred himself into the body of the man she was studying,
The Wolverine and Apocalypse are (by far) the two most under-appreciated movies in this series. I think both are legitimately great but neither get the love they deserve in comparison to some others.
The reason Viper shed her skin in the movie is because when she does that she sheds the injuries she received from the arrow, you could say she sheds her former body.
13:48 in the stormlight archive there are 10 people who lived for thousands of years and what you learn of them (and others in that universe) is that the midn is not made to live more than a couple of hundred years.
Wolverines son daken has a full sleeve arm tattoo and i can't understand why his healing factor would push the ink out, i already know everyone's argument on how tattoos are applied, but his healing factor would still push the ink out
The actually is an R-Rated cut of the movie that is BIG improvement. It was originally released on the 4K Release, but it’s probably available digitally as well. It makes a really solid movie into an almost great one.
The bom dropped on Hiroshima was a shot-gun type fission bomb using only U-235, a less stable isotope of Uranium. The U-235 and U-238 were separated through gaseous diffusion and an explosive at one end of the bomb shot a uranium pellet into a mass of uranium creating a chain reaction and achieving critical mass. The first thing you see upon detonation is a light so bright it will literally blind you followed by a shockwave radiating outwards as the air is sucked out of ground zero causing a difference of pressure resulting in a vacuum. If I’m correct, the initial explosion is similar to a large conventional explosion and the shockwave is what causes most of the damage surrounding ground zero. The shockwave expands with rapid forces and air quickly returns to the point of detonation to equalize the air pressure difference and radioactive dust shoots into the air in the mushroom cloud and is rained down. That’s why it’s important to be upwind of the explosion because the wind helps carry the radioactive dust. If you encounter a black bear, try to be as big and as loud as possible. Fight back. If it’s a brown bear, lie down. If it’s a grizzly bear, play dead
I saw hugh jackman! I was in the same program as his kid when i was younger. Hes a lot taller irl. I didnt talk to him but my sister did, he's really nice apparently
To clarify things, the Fox X-Men films are set in multiple timelines: The Original Trilogy (X-Men, X-2, and The Last Stand), First Class, and The Wolverine are set on Earth-10005. Days of Future Past is also set on Earth-10005, but introduces a new timeline: Earth-TRN414 (the alternate version of Earth-10005 that Logan was sent back into). X-Men: Apocalypse is set in this new timeline. The Logan movie is set in its own timeline as well, Earth-17315. The first Deadpool movie is set on Earth-TRN414 Deadpool 2 is set on Earth-41633 (which was identical to TRN414 until Wade's girlfriend, Vanessa was murdered). The post-credit scene of Wade saving Vanessa is Earth-TRN414 (the altered scene from X-Men Origins: Wolverine is Earth-18315). For reference, the MCU's timeline is Earth-19999 (and Earth-838 from Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness). - Mysterio's labeling of the MCU's main timeline as Earth-616 in Spider-Man: Far from Home was just a reference to Earth-616 being the prime timeline in the comics. In-universe, it was just a lie he made up on the spot to make everyone think he was a hero from a different universe. Also, the Yukio we see in this movie (played by Rira Fukushima) is an alternate version of the Yukio we saw in Deadpool 2 (played there by Shiori Kutsuna). 19:40 It's a love hotel. They exist mostly to provide a private place to get it on, as most people live in apartments with paper-thin (or sometimes literally paper) walls with no privacy as far as sound goes. And for the relatively few that live in a house, it's usually with lots of family always there. Also you skipped the post-credits teaser that shows off a comic-looking yellow and black Wolverine costume (he didn't wear it, just saw it in a case he got). Though he (or a version of him) will be wearing it in Deadpool 3, along with a proper comic-accurate yellow and blue costume.
15:07 tattoos are fairly taboo in Japanese society, meaning nobody considered "respectable", like a Shinto priest or Buddhist monk, would have them. Usually only yakuza would have tattoos like that, and it was already established that the yakuza were targeting someone in the Yashida family.
8:45 the fact that there's the greatest showman poster on the left. which is another movie in which Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) played the main character.
Wolverine has a fairly large history with Japan, he was samurai in the comics for awhile, then a ronin (samurai with no master), had a family, joined a couple yakuza/triad gangs, his family was killed by Bucky/Winter Soldier, and his son ended up surviving and became Dark Wolverine and joined Norman Osbourne/Green Goblin in the Dark Avengers. This was also about 70 years ago, shortly after WW2.
When he first took the role of Wolverine, Jackman did not know they were a real animal. He posted a selfie of himself at the zoo when he first saw one.

met mister jackman in lower manhatten some years ago - i gave a quiet nod just to show love - as he was with his fam. he nods back - like 3 mins later comes over hand shake and we spoke for a few - SUPER NICE MAN
When you watch Days of future past; MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THE ROUGE CUT
I for once don’t have a lot to say because this movie was actually pretty good about answering questions. Also because the plot isn’t all that connected to the rest of what was happening in the X-men movies.
A quick fun fact! There’s a deleted scene from the end of this movie that shows Logan being given a briefcase that contains the comic accurate yellow and blue/black suit and everyone got so hype but sadly it’s deleted for a reason.
Only one more movie before Deadpool!! And Days of Future Past is also one of the great ones!
"stop flipping around...." just ninjas doing ninja sh!t
I hope Phoenix comes back in the MCU as has been rumored. Famke Janssen is awesome and I'm always happy to see her getting more high-profile roles and such.
They have to make up for two botched Dark Phoenix Sagas. 🤣
You want them to start the X-men in the MCU when they are already on their way to the nursing home? She's almost 60.
@@robertreichle1 Sadly the older actors are the only ones Marvel can use because of the stupid contracts Fox had with the actors from the previous movies which don't end until after something like 2025. No new actors can be cast until then so don't expect a new X-Men movie until about 2030. Until then it's either using the old original cast or the newer one that nobody cared about in the last few movies.
33:03 Hugh Jackmann is known to be a super nice person. Always friendly and wholesome and he has an awesome friendship with Ryan Reynolds
The reason for charles being alive is that he put his consciousness into his twin brothers body using his telepathy
5:44 The Bear marked the tree because he got the scent of another Alpha (Logan) in the area...gave Logan a stare down too!😤
On film sets, at least when he was making the first 2 X-Men films, Hugh knew all of the crew and would even try to help out. I met him in Toronto. Super nice guy. He's every bit as cool and friendly as you would hope.
8:46 sneaky greatest showman poster in the background of the Tokyo scene 😂
I love how her prediction will still come true... just not in this film lol Holding his "heart" in his hands has a more beautiful meaning to it.
No, it refers to the scene at 31:50
I just realized that, the whole bear sequence was straight out of the Wolverine comic book.😂
The Wolverine movie is based on Wolverines first solo comic where he moves to Japan. In the comic Logan had a romantic relationship with both Mariko and Yukio. Yukio in the comics isn't a mutant she's a regular human mercenary.
"where to? we'll see.... sounds fun!" - you coming in with the totally pragmatic and realistic "uh no, seems really problematic for the pilots, they dont know which way to fly..." killed me. that was just supposed to be a dramatic movie line lmfao
Absolutely loving your enthusiasm for these X-men films.
Personally, The Wolverine wasn't one of my favourites in the series but it had it's moments.
The Days of Future Past however is definitely one of my favourite comic book superhero films of all time let alone in the X-men series.
In the end, the guy takes his Adamantium to "heal himself," but the Adamantium isn't what heals Wolverine. That's in his DNA. The Adamantium is just bonded to his bones
There's a deleted scene on the plane at the end where Yukio gives Logan a case. He opens to it find the comic book Wolverine suit and it would have made the film end so well if they kept that in. Seeing as it looks like he's going to don that outfit in the new Deadpool!
Ah! I have actually met him! I was at comic con and his flight made him late to his panel. He came in on the Twilight panel (I was young okay) to apologize even though we weren’t the same crowd and walked around saying hello. My mom is in a wheelchair and he stopped to shake her hand and tell her she was beautiful. Such a sweet guy!
Murimasa is something the comics use to take away healing factors, wolverines son daken has his claws dipped in it, wolverine had a special sword made that took over a decade to make that can kill anything, he gave it to Cyclops to hide it from him
“Jean can you leave us alone?” Lmao your annoyance with her is a mood
8:45 Was that Hugh Jackman cameo by accident or on purpose? I could honestly believe a yes or no answer to that question.
bruh what cameo are you on about? all i see is pixels
@@CosmicMumenRider Hugh Jackman in The Greatest Showman on the billboard in the background. He plays P.T. Barnum in that movie.
I hope he remembers the connection between Logan’s death prediction and Logan the movie 👀🥲
He forget everything lol 😂😢
You're the Wade Wilson of reaction videos. The multiverse will collapse when you react to Deadpool.
8:48 I still say that whenever you do that, you must have "STFU" written on your finger to remind yourself 😂
I would love to go to Japan one day. I just love their culture.
Same here 🥰
Hugh jackman is seen as one of the nicest guys. There was a sweet moment where a guy was interviewing him, and hugh remembered him as one of his students when he taught PE in school, and they had a little banter together, it was a funny and sweet moment of hugh
got a link to that interview?
I've been binging your videos for the last couple of days and you've become one of my favorite reactors. I love the theme with the marvel universe and the way you sprinkle in different kind of movies in between. Just wanted to leave a comment and say thanks for great content! :)
the amount of times something is obviously reveled then you act clueless and ask questions like it wasn’t just said is amazing
Tattoos in Japan are associated with Yakuza. Most people in Japan do not get tattoos and a lot of places will not serve you if you have them… even as an American tourist. A lot of places are trying to change the narrative but it’s still strict in places. So keep that in mind if you travel there.
Protagonist: "I'm NOT going to (insert place name here)!"
Audience: "WE'RE GOING TO (INSERT PLACE NAME HERE)!"
If Alex wasn’t a lawyer he could have been an actor😂
I met Hugh twice so far. Very nice and down to earth guy.
Waiting excitedly for Days of Future Past and Deadpool!!😅
Bears mark their territory by scratching trees. The tallest/largest ones retain their spot.
I went to the Prisoner movie premiere and got a high five from Hugh Jackman.
So i think he is a really cool guy.
At 16:48 when you said, “just add a sound effect and do it in a comical way,” well just play Yackety Sax, aka the Benny Hill theme song, & you get the same result 😆
I'm so excited for the next movie, It is one of the best if not the best X-Men movie. Can't wait for Deadpool and Logan too, you're gonna love em.
Alex goes from wondering why someone would give up immortality to pondering all the emotional and psychological trauma you'd collect while living forever. Dude basically answered his own question immediately. Carrying all that trauma takes its toll, and you'd probably reach a point where you'd welcome death just because it's a rest from it all that you never thought you'd get. But Logan knows the toll it takes, and he knows that those who seek his kind of immortality don't truly grasp what it means to live forever and all that comes with it.
The end credits scene with Magneto and Charles leads into the next movie, X-Men: Days Of Future Past, and it's probably the best ensemble X-Men movie of them all. Logan is also incredible, and it's the best Wolverine solo movie.
The extended cut IS rated R. That’s why I leave these on every X-Men video you’ve posted. So you watch the versions you’d rather see lol
FoX-Men Universe marathon so far:
☑️X-Men
☑️X2: X-Men United
☑️X-Men III: The Last Stand
☑️X-Men Origins: Wolverine
☑️X-Men: First Class
☑️The Wolverine (should have been the Unleashed Extended Cut)
•X-Men: Days of Future Past (The Rogue Cut)
•X-Men: Apocalypse
•X-Men: Dark Phoenix 🥴🤬
•Deadpool
•The New Mutants
•Logan
•Deadpool 2* (Three cuts of this movie exist: The Theatrical Cut, The Super Duper Fuckin Cut, and Once Upon a Deadpool. All are equally great for different reasons. You should put it to a vote or something)
UPDATE: allegedly the Disney+ version is a mashup of the best jokes from each cut. Will have to check to confirm.
•Deadpool 3
Controlling much? I feel sorry for your girlfriend.
@@robertmckay5325 wife, actually. And what a weird assumption to make about someone you don’t even remotely know. How am I controlling? Clearly I’m not controlling Alex or he would have followed my suggestions. Which is what they are. Suggestions that have been decided by the fanbase as the best way to watch the movies. He literally said he wished it was rated R. The cut I suggested to him is rated R. I doubt you’ll find a girlfriend being rude to strangers like that. But go off, I guess.
Jean is the one ex that keeps coming back and won’t let you live in peace lol
Unrated version solved that problem. And they made sure to get the R-rating right for Logan.
What problem
@@foodreacts837 - Haha, it's in the title of the reaction.
To answer your question, I did indeed meet Hugh Jackman. 3 years ago in the SDCCI. Ended up winning a raffle to have a SPEN A DAY WITH HUGH thing. Even gave me a plus one, so my hubby tagged along. Asked me what I wanted to do, so I thought it would be a good idea to go to a soup kitchen to volunteer to serve dinner to some homeless DV survivors. We did just that with no enterage or security guards. We had a good time helping out. Gave hubby some MA pointers, and gave me some pointers to for self defense. I then taught him on how to cook a muffin inside an orange inside a camp fire and some old girl scout pointers just in case he needed them in the future. He thought the orange muffin was a genius idea. After all that we then exchanged digits. He is one of those salt of the earth please who never would get tempted to have a huge ego. We still communicate to this day.
minor "spoiler" alert:
Logan did not die on that table; Yukio's vision refers to something that happens in "Logan", even though it does in more of a metaphorical way, which has been confirmed by the director. pretty sure it was a convenience thing rather than being planned like that from the very beginning though...😅 still fits quite good.
SPOILERS! I love this fact but he hasn’t seen the movies yet
@@mr.moviemafia I know xD that's why I didn't say directly what happened :D I'll edit the comment though
In Nothern Japan there is a "fox village", furhter south there is a place where you can pet wild deer....... its a amazing place!
One of the X-Men movies I was waiting for
The reveal that Charles is back at the end of this movie is a nice callback to X3, when he discusses the ethics of it with his students. "This case study was sent to me by a colleague, Dr. Moira MacTaggert.The man you see here was born with no higher-level brain functions. His organs and nervous system work, but he has no consciousness to speak of. Now, what if we were to transfer the consciousness of one person, say a father of four with terminal cancer, into the body of this man? How are we to decide what falls within the range of ethical behavior?" When Charles greets Moira at the end of X3, it's because he'd transferred himself into the body of the man she was studying,
The Wolverine and Apocalypse are (by far) the two most under-appreciated movies in this series. I think both are legitimately great but neither get the love they deserve in comparison to some others.
I agree wholeheartedly
somebody needs to tell him that glances are not "eye fucking"
The reason Viper shed her skin in the movie is because when she does that she sheds the injuries she received from the arrow, you could say she sheds her former body.
@15:10 - tattoos like that are associated with Yakuza.
13:48 in the stormlight archive there are 10 people who lived for thousands of years and what you learn of them (and others in that universe) is that the midn is not made to live more than a couple of hundred years.
Wolverines son daken has a full sleeve arm tattoo and i can't understand why his healing factor would push the ink out, i already know everyone's argument on how tattoos are applied, but his healing factor would still push the ink out
The actually is an R-Rated cut of the movie that is BIG improvement. It was originally released on the 4K Release, but it’s probably available digitally as well. It makes a really solid movie into an almost great one.
“How does an atomic bomb work?” Oppenheimer here we go!
The bom dropped on Hiroshima was a shot-gun type fission bomb using only U-235, a less stable isotope of Uranium. The U-235 and U-238 were separated through gaseous diffusion and an explosive at one end of the bomb shot a uranium pellet into a mass of uranium creating a chain reaction and achieving critical mass. The first thing you see upon detonation is a light so bright it will literally blind you followed by a shockwave radiating outwards as the air is sucked out of ground zero causing a difference of pressure resulting in a vacuum. If I’m correct, the initial explosion is similar to a large conventional explosion and the shockwave is what causes most of the damage surrounding ground zero. The shockwave expands with rapid forces and air quickly returns to the point of detonation to equalize the air pressure difference and radioactive dust shoots into the air in the mushroom cloud and is rained down. That’s why it’s important to be upwind of the explosion because the wind helps carry the radioactive dust. If you encounter a black bear, try to be as big and as loud as possible. Fight back. If it’s a brown bear, lie down. If it’s a grizzly bear, play dead
I saw hugh jackman! I was in the same program as his kid when i was younger. Hes a lot taller irl. I didnt talk to him but my sister did, he's really nice apparently
Bro that first edit of himself had me tripping balls
Wait til Deadpool 3 eventually gets finished, you’ll see a bada$$ Wolverine you’ve never seen before
29:40 Whoever did this transition,
probs, that was clean! :D
To clarify things, the Fox X-Men films are set in multiple timelines:
The Original Trilogy (X-Men, X-2, and The Last Stand), First Class, and The Wolverine are set on Earth-10005. Days of Future Past is also set on Earth-10005, but introduces a new timeline: Earth-TRN414 (the alternate version of Earth-10005 that Logan was sent back into). X-Men: Apocalypse is set in this new timeline.
The Logan movie is set in its own timeline as well, Earth-17315.
The first Deadpool movie is set on Earth-TRN414
Deadpool 2 is set on Earth-41633 (which was identical to TRN414 until Wade's girlfriend, Vanessa was murdered). The post-credit scene of Wade saving Vanessa is Earth-TRN414 (the altered scene from X-Men Origins: Wolverine is Earth-18315).
For reference, the MCU's timeline is Earth-19999 (and Earth-838 from Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness).
- Mysterio's labeling of the MCU's main timeline as Earth-616 in Spider-Man: Far from Home was just a reference to Earth-616 being the prime timeline in the comics. In-universe, it was just a lie he made up on the spot to make everyone think he was a hero from a different universe.
Also, the Yukio we see in this movie (played by Rira Fukushima) is an alternate version of the Yukio we saw in Deadpool 2 (played there by Shiori Kutsuna).
19:40 It's a love hotel. They exist mostly to provide a private place to get it on, as most people live in apartments with paper-thin (or sometimes literally paper) walls with no privacy as far as sound goes. And for the relatively few that live in a house, it's usually with lots of family always there.
Also you skipped the post-credits teaser that shows off a comic-looking yellow and black Wolverine costume (he didn't wear it, just saw it in a case he got). Though he (or a version of him) will be wearing it in Deadpool 3, along with a proper comic-accurate yellow and blue costume.
bruh not the turtle sfx on the arrow shot lmfaoooo
bangs wasn't wrong " with your own heart inyour hand" in Logan he died holding Laura's hand, so
True
Good timing with Oppenheimer just having come out
"How does an atomic bomb work?"
Me: *Stares in Oppenheimer*
After this Days of Future Past will blow your mind. It's one of the best as The Wolverine, Logan, X1, X2 and First Class.
More shirtless reactions please! I genuinely thought we were watching Magic Mike for a minute there lol. Love these reactions btw 🤩👍🏼
Imagine if Alex in fact had a twin.
15:07 tattoos are fairly taboo in Japanese society, meaning nobody considered "respectable", like a Shinto priest or Buddhist monk, would have them. Usually only yakuza would have tattoos like that, and it was already established that the yakuza were targeting someone in the Yashida family.
yes, Prof X came back..in the post credits of X3: Last Stand, the consciousness of prof x came into the patient (his twin) and now became prof x..
8:45 the fact that there's the greatest showman poster on the left. which is another movie in which Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) played the main character.
Wolverine has a fairly large history with Japan, he was samurai in the comics for awhile, then a ronin (samurai with no master), had a family, joined a couple yakuza/triad gangs, his family was killed by Bucky/Winter Soldier, and his son ended up surviving and became Dark Wolverine and joined Norman Osbourne/Green Goblin in the Dark Avengers.
This was also about 70 years ago, shortly after WW2.
24:35
Logan is still used to his healing factor working, he probably never needs to disinfect anything normally
They did the Silver Samurai dirty here...
When he first took the role of Wolverine, Jackman did not know they were a real animal. He posted a selfie of himself at the zoo when he first saw one.
