I'd think it would be classic Xforce.

Ok Destor has got me thinking about this movie again and I really didn't say what bothered me about it in my post viewing post.
First like I said once X-23 started talking I lost interest in her. Would have been great if she didn't say anything until she repeated the lines from Shane. Also to be 2029 there wasn't a lot of futuristic cars other than Logan's limo and the non driving self driving cargo haulers, he buys a 13year old truck that looks brand new, and there is 50 year old Chevy Suburban and a Ford Bronco in excellent condition. I didn't like the animantium poisoning either, especially after it was revealed that the corn syrup was suppressing the mutant gene. Logan drank enough whiskey that should have caused his powers to start to slip. How did the comic book come to be true? Like no explanation of that at all. Who got the other kids there? What's in Canada for them? A lot of questions for a movie that's supposed to be an ending but I guess they could answer some in future X-23movies. I loved the action though and the little girl was a bad ass up until she started talking. She just seemed more savage without speaking was more annoying afterwards. I think they over thought somethings and underthought others and it seemed like it was rushed being put together to me. I think all the positive reviews about it got me expecting it to be great but it just wasn't for me. I'd rank it as the 3rd best X Men movie after Days of Future Past and Apocalypse. Not bad just not well thought out in my opinion. |

To be honest movies that depict the future as 'whatever not much changed' are quite realistic to me. Felt like that with Looper as well.

It wasn't a big deal I just found the Chevy Suburban and Ford Broncos to be odd choices for the movie. Would have liked to seen the Ram beat up a little bit more than just needing new tires. He rolled up in it and I almost forgot we were in 2029 for a second, I was like damn he got a good deal but then remembered it was a 12 year old truck.

2) That's realistic. The real world doesn't change that much. I mean honestly 2029 is just a little over 20 years from now. Look at the differences between 1980 and 2000. You'd see differences but not enough that you'd think "the future" when seeing it. Cars were still cars, etc, etc. I find it hard to believe we'll advance very far in the next 20 years even in our world and we haven't been hit with multiple world threatening events and a mutant race war. 3) If they'd switched it to the corn syrup people would be laughing their asses off. That's a stupid explanation for Wolverine dying. What's more the adamantium poisoning is pulled strait from the comics, and it makes completely sense from a biological standpoint. If you coat someone's bones in any substance that doesn't breath their body can't perform basic functions like replenishing blood. The fact that Wolverine's healing factor was able to keep up with what the adamantium was likely doing to his system in the first place was pretty impressive in and of itself. 4) I'd say it's safe to say it's a group of mutants and mutant sympathizers that are waiting in Canada for them. There are quite a few noteworthy Canadian mutants in the X-Men comics and I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were brought into this timeline's continuity as members of this group. It makes sense that Canada would be more supportive of mutants as well since in our own real world Canada tends to be extremely progressive compared to the United States. I'd also argue that it's that same group who likely built the little shack where the kids were staying. They've probably been using it as a rest stop for refugees for a while I'd imagine. As for the kids getting there, well, I'd imagine there were other nurses and doctors helping with the escape plan. I mean I can't imagine one woman pulling it off even if all she took was X-23. They probably orchestrated an escape and split the kids up. It's likely there were even more kids at the start that just didn't make it. I'll admit it would have been nice to know more on this particular subject, but it's not really an important piece to the plot. Overall I think you're probably just the kind of person that gets annoyed around kids period (so a large portion of the population.) X-23 honestly wasn't any more annoying than any real kid I've ever met. In fact she was less annoying than many of them even when she was shouting. Again though that's all subjective. The girl definitely did extremely well at looking fierce, and her silent shtick did add to that in some way, but I don't personally feel like her talking really hurt it any either. |

how could anyone find Laura annoying? Even when she started speaking she was just an angry, traumatized child.
Plus he liked apocalypse better than Logan so... uh... I dunno, you do you dude. |

I liked the little girl I just thought they made her two different people in the movie. She was a bad ass savage to start with which was awesome. Then she started talking and was a total different person. Why did she not talk at the beginning, it certainly wasn't because she was scared.
She wasn't even my least favorite character though, Professor X was. Thought he was pointless in the movie. Was thrilled when X-24 killed him, Logan should have done that after he killed the X Men really. What's the point of keeping him alive? |

As a formally mute kid and still extremely quiet throughout my childhood (~6yo) I believe Laura didn't talk because a) she still wasn't sure she could trust Logan, b) the less you talk the more you're listening and observing, and c) she simply didn't need to. When she finally spoke it was after they lost Charles and she literally dragged his ass to a clinic. While the scene was played almost for laughs and they had a fight, this was the point she felt comfortable enough with him to talk.

As for Apocalypse I'd just re watched it before going and seeing Logan. I didn't think Apocalypse was all that good to begin with but it made more sense than Logan did for me. |

I never figured she was a mute because she never did sign language.

Maybe but she hadn't even spoke any Spanish either and I assumed Xavier was just speaking Spanish because she looked it. They also lead you to believe she wasn't a treated like a kid at all and was a lab experiment so I just assumed she never learned to talk but not only can she talk she's bilingual.

I thought Patrick Stewart had one of his most amazing performances in this movie. Perfect direction for Stewart to follow.

The fact that it's hard for you to understand why she wouldn't speak and how you don't notice the seamless transition into her speaking is astonishing, but hey that's how you took it.

I learned of the word mute because people asked my mother and older siblings so much when they met me. Sign language isn't a sure sign of people thinking you're mute. If you say nothing and respond with nods and such they'll think so.

Surely using sign language is more a sign of being deaf? And deaf doesn't necessarily mean mute.

In my defense that post was made at like 4 AM or something with literally zero sleep. The fact that I was able to make it even remotely coherent at all is a miracle... This post is also made under similar circumstances... The hell is wrong with me coming on this forum when I'm sleep deprived (or at all really?) I must be a freaking masochist or something... FFS

Just picked up the blu ray, there's a second disc with a black and white version of the movie. Feels like it didn't need a separate disc.

It's no different, other than being black and white.
