Blog and Video Description: In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Marvel’s Logan that is currently on Disney+. Logan will take place in 2029, this will be in the future, when this film was released in 2017. It will have Logan AKA Wolverine as an older man and Professor Charles Xavier as an older man. This is 29 years after the events in the first X-MEN film. It is just Charles Xavier, Logan, and Caliban. Caliban is an albino who can sense other mutants. He can track them as he can sense other mutants. He must cover up completely or he will be literally burned by the sun. The sun can kill him. Albinos can never have any part of their skin exposed, or they will be burned. The movie shows this as there will be a scene where one of the villains uses that weakness to his advantage. He exposes Caliban to the sun, and it burns him. It could kill him. This is a form of torture. What this review will set out to prove is that the experimentation of Laura, who is X-23 is being used as a weapon. It will also set out to prove that the experimentation on these children is no different than eugenics. Eugenics was experimentation of people that societies like here in the United States, Nazi Germany, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Rome where it is believed that human beings could be improved upon. It is the idea that there was something inferior to the other races of human beings because they were considered different. It is a twisted idea, and this is what is happening to these children. They are not considered people; they are considered as weapons to be used by the government. These experiments are illegal, but that has not stopped people. Whether it is right or not, people have done this throughout time. There is a page on Wikipedia about Eugenics, and I will leave it in the description below of this video or blog if you are on my website or my Patreon Page to learn more about this. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.

Logan is feeling the brunt of being old. In the beginning of this movie, he is not able to heal like he used to. He is attacked by those who try to steal his car. He kills them, but he is shot, and he is not healing as fast as he used to. This is the result of the Adamantium in his body is starting to kill him. It has been killing him slowly. The metal in his body made him into a weapon, but it is starting to eat his body. His ability to heal helps with that, but eventually no one can endure this forever. The metal is indestructible, but it makes sense that this is not good for him. He is driving a Cadillac. He is having to hide in Mexico as he has been treating Professor Charles Xavier. Charles Xavier is old, and he has seizures and because of his powers when he has them, they are deadly to others as well as himself. His telepathic abilities make it so when he has them, it causes him to have others feel what he is feeling. This means that he can kill this people, whether he means to or not.

A woman named Gabriella who is of Mexican descent was working for Transign who was doing these horrible experiments on these children and turning them into weapons. This is very similar to Eugenics, where people believed human beings can be improved upon. She pleads with Logan that she needs his help. She reminds him that you are good, and you want to do the right thing. Logan has always been a gray character. In the first X-MEN film, he was by himself. He believed that Magneto was not wrong that a war was coming. He is elderly and is doing the best he can. He has been working as a driver to make money. Gabriella promised Logan that she would pay him $50,000 if he helped her. Logan is uncertain about this but knows he could use the money to help Charles Xavier in his treatments.

The person with the metal hand and his name is Xane. Xane is not after Logan; he is after Laura who is a mutant. Logan wonders who Laura is, but believes it is not his problem. Charles Xavier tells Logan; Laura is more than you think she is. They get attacked by Transign and they must escape before something bad happens. Something bad happens, and they must get out of there. Laura is X-23, and she has claws like Wolverine that are metal. These metal claws can kill people and she use that to defend herself against these attackers. Laura wants to get to North Dakota. Earlier in the movie, Gabriella is dead, and Logan must figure out what happened. Logan must escape with Professor Charles Xavier, and Laura. Caliban is taken prisoner by Xane and Transign and will be tortured by Xane using his weakness of being exposed to the sun as it can kill him. As Charles Xavier tells Logan, Laura is your daughter. She has your genetic makeup.

Logan will later learn once he gets a charger at a convenience store that Gabriella was part of a group of scientists at Transign that wanted to create a new set of weapons out these Mutants. This is the Eugenics part of this story that is being told. As stated, before in this review, Eugenics is the idea that human beings can be improved upon as there must be something wrong with them. There is nothing wrong with people because they are different. This is the lie that is told by the powerful, so they can stay in power. The powerful will use fear and hate to stay in power. They will get the masses to fight with each other instead of realizing what the real threat to their lives is. Logan sees the video and realizes the horrible things that happen to these children. He is reluctant because he is old and does not have the same energy that he used to when he was younger.

Logan will be driving on the road, and he ends up in Oklahoma. Logan will be at a casino with Charles Xavier and Laura. They are there at a hotel that is in the casino. Logan must trade the car for another one since they are being chased by Transign. While Logan is out, Charles Xavier will have a seizure and it is causing his power of telepathy to influence others. It is giving the people in the area there a seizure like he is feeling and if Logan does not get there, he could kill the people in that are there. Logan kills the people that are around Charles Xavier that are after Laura. Logan gets the medicine in the needle and injects it into Charles Xavier. He must get Charles Xavier and Laura out of there. They are lucky to escape.

Logan is on the interstate when he realizes that he could almost hit a vehicle. There is a family that has a truck that has horses in it. Charles Xavier has Logan realize that they need to help this family. They do and after they do that, that family invites them to their house for dinner. Logan insists that Charles Xavier and Laura need to stay at a hotel. The family tells them that you do not want to do that. There will not be a place to stay for several miles. You want to stay here. Logan is reluctant to do this, but Charles Xavier convinces him to do this.
As Logan fears, Transign finds them, and Logan is out with the owner of the house to help them with the water being turned off. This means whoever is a bully claims that he can do whatever he wants. Logan helps the owner with this to fend off the bully and his thugs. Transign gets into the house and kills Charles Xavier. They made a weapon that is a clone of Logan. Laura tries to fend this clone off but is having trouble with this clone.
Logan will be coming back as the clone of Logan is killing not just Mutants, but the family as well. Logan must figure out how to save himself and Laura before this gets worse. The clone kills the bully as well. He chops the head of that person. Logan gets Laura and they escape. Caliban blows himself up with the soldiers of Transign in the vehicle. He figures it was no win scenario, so he believes this will be better if he does this.

There is a comic called X-23 which describes Laura and how she became who she was. In this book, it will be a collection of different issues. It will show Laura, known as the X-23, was designed to be a weapon and this makes it hard for her to move on from that. I will a link of that comic in the description below.
Laura gets Wolverine to a doctor. The doctor saved Logan AKA Wolverine. The doctor tells him, you need to go to a hospital. Logan tells the doctor that you do not want to do that. If you do, you are dead. They leave there. Laura insists that she needs to get to North Dakota to get to Canada. Logan tells her that this place of Eden does not exist.
Logan takes her to North Dakota and gets here there. He passes out and must be pulled up to the place where the children were staying.
As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of this story.
I will give you, my rating. I give Marvel’s Logan on Disney+ a 10 out of 10. It was fun but tells a powerful story. It shows the dangers of experimenting on people just to make them better. The powerful wanted to create weapons and this is what happens here in this story. It is the old story of the powerful doing horrible things for the greater good. As the page of Eugenics says, this is nothing new. It was believed that you can change it for the better. This is cruel, and there is nothing wrong with how people are. Everyone is special, and until people realize this, this will only continue.
