New Logan Trailer, My Thoughts

What is one thing the Super Bowl is known for? The game itself? The insane half-time shows? The commercials? Well, yeah. But among the commercials this year were new trailers. One was for Hugh Jackman's supposedly final appearance as Wolverine. The film is called Logan. And it has a new trailer! Since this is a Red Band Trailer, I have to warn you, this will contain some brutality and cursing. And you can look here for my thoughts on the last Logan trailer.


The trailer begins with a little girl (It's X-23) in a convenience store taking a can of Pringles and eating them. She then takes what might be some soda or energy drink. Finally, she helps herself to a pair of pink sunglasses. The clerk is understandably not happy with little Laura Kinney's five-finger discount shopping. She flees, he cuts her off, and she judo flips him and gets ready to punch him in the throat. Logan then stops this and tells her what she's doing is NOT OKAY, and then leaves...after taking some jerky. Dude, you could've at least left some money for the stuff X-23 took. Jerk.

One part of the trailer made me chuckle. Logan with the X-Men comic book. He says it was mostly inaccurate. In his time, the X-Men didn't wear costumes that were colorful. What I'd like to know is...how did that work, exactly? Did the X-Men license out their brand to a comic company? Did they have a PR agent? How did that work, exactly?

Logan is then encountered by a blond man with glasses. As I said before, I believe this man is Donald Pierce, and his men are basically his Reavers. He demands the girl, Logan's like, "Who?", and Pierce ain't in the mood for Logan's denials, so he has Logan get beat up and sends some men to get her. However, X-23 is enjoying her morning Corn Flakes, and everyone knows you do NOT bother X-23 when she is eating her Corn Flakes.

The moment were we get to finally get a glimpse of X-23's claws was awesome. And Logan's reaction was great. It was like he realized, "Oh God, she IS my kid!"

What is the song in this trailer? It's a cool song.

Logan tells X-23 that he's not what she thinks he is. Which leads me to wonder what exactly what he thinks X-23 sees him as. In X-Men: Evolution, she blamed Wolverine for her rough life and wanted revenge. What does Laura Kinney see him as here?

The trailer ends with lots of footage of Logan in action, but among it is a moment of him and Laura holding hands, aww. Xavier gets a HILARIOUS line at the end. Poor man just wants some sleep and some food.

This was a neat trailer, and it has a nice mix of funny, action, and sweet moments. This movie sounds like it will be a lot of fun to watch.
