Hugh Jackman's Wolverine Says Goodbye...For Now Logan Full Movie Watch Alongs & Early Access: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order - Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 Gregory Alba & Coy Jandreau RESUME their Road to Avengers: Doomsday as they step into one of the most powerful comic book films ever made, bringing you their Logan (2017) reaction, recap, commentary, breakdown, analysis, and full movie spoiler review!! Gregory Alba & Coy Jandreau react to and break down Logan (2017), the James Mangold-directed X-Men film that redefines the superhero genre with a gritty, grounded, western-inspired story. The film stars Hugh Jackman (The Greatest Showman, Prisoners) as an aging, broken Logan / Wolverine, alongside Patrick Stewart (Star Trek, X-Men) as Charles Xavier, and Dafne Keen in a breakout performance as Laura / X-23. Set in a near-future where mutants are nearly extinct, the film follows Logan as he struggles with declining powers and a dying Professor X, until a mysterious young mutant girl appears, forcing him back into a fight he’s been trying to escape. As discussed in the reaction, the brutal opening immediately establishes a very different Wolverine — one who is slower, vulnerable, and in constant pain, setting the tone for a story that feels more like a western than a traditional superhero film. The film delivers a series of unforgettable moments, from Laura’s first explosive action sequence revealing her full power set to the quiet, emotional family dinner scene that offers a rare glimpse of peace before everything falls apart. The dynamic between Logan, Charles, and Laura becomes the heart of the movie, blending found-family storytelling with themes of regret, redemption, and legacy. Everything builds toward a devastating final act, featuring the savage confrontation with X-24 — a reflection of Logan at his most violent — and the emotional climax that brings Wolverine’s journey to a definitive and heartbreaking end. As highlighted in the reaction, the film’s grounded tone, minimal reliance on spectacle, and character-driven storytelling make it stand apart as not just a great comic book movie, but a great film overall. Greg & Coy break down the performances, the western influences, the emotional weight of Logan’s arc, and why this stands as one of the most powerful endings in superhero cinema. #Logan #Wolverine #XMen #HughJackman #Logan2017 #MovieReaction #X23 #ProfessorX #Marvel #ComicBookMovies #Reaction #ReactTo #Reaction #RoadToAvengersDoomsday #RoadToDoomsday #AvengersDoomsday #MCU #MovieMarathon - X-MEN: APOCALYPSE (2016) Reaction Commentary: https://youtu.be/oQE93-rQ3Jg - X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE (2009) Reaction Commentary: https://youtu.be/Zfk2qa-a-vI - X-MEN: THE LAST STAND (2006) Reaction Commentary: https://youtu.be/3ZhImFDcVrs - X2: X-MEN UNITED (2003) Reaction Commentary: https://youtu.be/qXVcwzDpvWA Follow *Greg Alba* https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ https://twitter.com/thegregalba Follow *Coy Jandreau* https://www.youtube.com/@CoyJandreau https://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?lang=en https://www.instagram.com/coyjandreau/?hl=en https://twitter.com/CoyJandreau 0:00 Checking In! 1:18 Logan Reaction 34:18 HUEL 36:08 Logan Commentary Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en https://twitter.com/thereelrejects https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/prapermedia Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8

The fact Hugh jackman and Patrick Stewart didnt get a sniff at an Oscar for this movie is a travesty. This is probably one of the most perfect comic book based movie ever. Masterpiece ❤

To be clear, James Mangold has even said that the film is actually less inspired by Old Man Logan and more of an adaptation of Laura's comic origin.

The freezing effect isn't telekinesis. It's a psionic seizure, locking down every nerve in peoples body, preventing them moving or breathing. The only reason Logan and Laura can move is because their healing factors fight off the paralysis caused by the lethal waves of psionic energy that Charles emits during each episode.

I rationalized the seizure as the Prof has such a violent stranglehold on everyone around him that he's forcing their bodies to tense. He is outwardly projecting his seizure and so everyone else locks up as well. The force is projecting so overwhelmingly that the signals Charles' brain is sending overrides their bodies and continues even after their death.

I really hope this Road to Doomsday thing wasn't just them rewatching the X-Men movies. Hope they continue with other Marvel projects.
