X-Men Research Paper

WARNING: The following review contains spoilers, I’m telling you now so you don’t pretend to be outraged later.

Hard to believe the first X-Men movie came out in July of 2000. It’s been almost 17 years since Hugh Jackman first stared as America’s favorite Anti-Hero Wolverine. But 17 years and 8 film appearances later and it is all over for Jackman who stated this was the last time portraying the popular Marvel character on film. As memorable as Jackman has been in the X-Men movies, the Wolverine solo movies have been a much different story. Wolverine Origins was famously panned by everyone who saw the film (it was even poked fun at in 2016’s Deadpool). The 2013 film The Wolverine was much better in eyes of audiences but only a slightly …show more content…

Logan who is still around has aged greatly and is slowly dying due to the adamantium within his body is now poisoning him. This is also causing his healing factor to begun significantly less effective meaning he cannot fully heal from major damage. Logan spends his days working as an Uber Black driver in Texas earning enough to get enough meds for Charles Xavier, who has inadvertently killed several of his X-Men in a seizure-induced psychic attack one year earlier. Logan is found by Gabriela, a nurse for Transigen, who asks him to take her and a little girl named Laura, to a place in North Dakota called "Eden". Logan refuses to accept the job but after discovering that Gabriela has been murdered, he finds out that Transigen has been creating child mutants in a lab in an attempt to use them as weapons. As much as Logan protests, he has no choice but to fulfill one last mission to save the kids from the evil corporation responsible for taking out his …show more content…

This tone of this movie is very dark, bleak, and somewhat desperate. This isn’t the wisecracking bad ass Wolverine you are used to. The Wolverine in this film is a broken down old man who is literally in his final days. For those of you, comic book fans out there, the story of this movie is based on the comic book series ‘Old Man Logan’, a similar storyline with a similar outcome. Thanks to the R rating that this film is given, Logan is able to take a more real world approach to the story and doesn’t hesitate to get gritty. It only takes a couple of minutes for Logan to slice up a few gang members in the gory fashion that fans have wanted to see for 17

    “(page 49). This shows that Jeremy feels at least some compassion for Stacey and his well being and that he cares enough about the situation to even want to know more about it. Furthermore, this displays just how supportive Jeremy is as he does not remain silent when he realizes that his race is the cause of the torment towards the Logan children and how he remains to follow his new acquaintances even if it means that he is forcibly loathed by others in the process. Once again, in the novel, Jeremy gives a thoughtful apology by giving a gift when he realizes that he was wrong for not standing up for Cassie when she had been forced to apologize for an incident not being her fault by Jeremy father, Mr. Simms.

    The Hulk appeals to children in particular who are the main audience for superhero films and also the majority of people who get cuts and scrapes. Due to constant horseplay involved in many young kids lives and their undeveloped clumsiness, it causes them to be the ones who fall and hurt themselves more often and easily. Also, it is common for children to walk around with Band-Aids on, but it become less common and less “cool” to have five Band-Aids on those itchy mosquito bites whenever one reaches adulthood.

    Creating a suspenseful movie without it becoming boring, or creating a funny movie that’s not full of cheap jokes are both feats in their own right but the Coen brothers were able to combine the two into there one with their knockout debut Blood Simple. Blood Simples editing creates a suspenseful neo noir film that is full of dramatic irony. The audience knows going on behind the scenes but the characters don 't and they keep making the worst choices. The first edit I will look at in the film is when Marty breaks into Rays house and grabs hold of Abby.
