Review – Movie – Logan (2017)

The latest and supposedly last outing for Wolverine, or at least, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Logan is one of the better comic book movies we've had for sure, though not totally flawless.  Most of my complaints with this movie however stem more from how sloppy Fox has been with the X-men universe continuity, and not so much with the film itself.  Much like the previous Wolverine movie, The Wolverine, this film pretty much exists in a vacuum from the other movies in the series.  There's a vague underlying theme about how awful Logan's existence is because, while he never dies,…

Review – Movie – The Wolverine

I'm feeling a little lost on the logic behind the X-Men movies, just a bit.  I mean there's the original X-men trilogy, then there's the new timeline X-men, then there's these Wolverine movies sprinkled in.  The Wolverine definitely takes place after X-men 3, since there's these little flashes of Famke Janssen as Jean Grey and references to X-men 3.  What it doesn't really reference at all is Origins: Wolverine, which is sort of the actual predecessor film.  Actually aside from the few almost unneeded references to X3, The Wolverine feels really isolated from the rest of the X-men universe.  The…

Review – Movie – Xmen Origins: Wolverine

You know what's quickly starting to become a ridiculously overplayed part of the X-Men Cinematic Universe?  The origin story of Wolverine.  I mean, ok, I get that he is a big part of the X-Men universe, and he's been in every X-men movie so far except for Deadpool.  His origin was sort of touched on in X-men 1, X-men 2 went into much more detail as they return to Alkali Lake, Wolverine Origins gives us the details and events actually surrounding one origin of the event, Days of Future's Past touches on it a bit with Stryker, we see it…

Review – Marvel Legends – Juggernaut Wave – Rogue

I've always really liked Rogue as a character.  She's generally fun, she has an interesting power with interesting positives and negatives, her overall design is nice as well.  It probably helps that in the old cartoon series she was always paired with Gambit, whom I also really like as far as X-men go.  The point is, I am kind of biased towards Rogue, especially this particular design, which in general is one of her more popular designs. Unfortunately, there has only been one other figure of this design in this size, back in the Toybiz line, and it is god…

Review – Marvel Legends – Juggernaut Wave – Cable

It's not every day we get a mother/son combo in a wave of Marvel Legends but here we are with Cable and Jean Grey.  Ok, technically Cable's mother is a clone of Jean Grey but that's just the way the kooky storylines of the X-men work.  I mean Cable really looks like he's probably older than jean anyway, which he probably is since he comes from the future.  The reality is, Cable likely exists in this wave to accompany Deadpool, since Cable and Deadpool are partners from time to time. It's kind of a shame he's not a better Cable,…
