I wonder if young X-24 Logan was intended to be him at one point. With the close cut hair and the darker beard, I almost thought it was him when he first showed up.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

Really good movie, great performances all the way around. I was really put off by the Deadpool trailer though. I haven't seen Deadpool, but if his character is like that the entire time I don't think I missed anything.

The auto-trucks were a nice touch, I know they're coming and it's a nice little dystopian touch. The farm scenes reminded me of Looper and I could almost see the two movies being in the same universe. They had a very similar tone.

Dolph Lundgren Punisher came out in '89 and was a hard R.

It's weird, Louis Gossett Jr. gives this amazing dramatic performance in such a schlocky film.

I think it's important to note that X-24's haircut bears a fitting resemblance to Liev Schreiber's portrayal of Sabretooth in X-Men Origins

There was enough there visually, for me anyway, to make me think of the kind of image of Wolverine as a weapon and as all the things people would associate him with as this weapon or particular symbol. It didn't seem like a coincidence.

I think the reference is sufficient, without the actual character being in the movie.

That said, I always thought that if they made a direct sequel to Origins that it would turn out that Sabretooth and Logan weren't really brothers. Their respective fathers looked enough like them that it could be a coincidence of two mutants being born in close proximity, even if Sabretooth's dad was plowing Wolverine's mom.
