Deadpool & Wolverine has brought many different variations of the main character duo. In particular, Deadpool is still the version from Earth-10005 (which is the previous X-Men cinematic universe of 20th Century Fox). However, Wolverine, although still played by Hugh Jackman, is a completely new variant, originating from a reality where this superhero is a sinner for not being able to protect his mutant teammates. me.
Throughout the film, Wolverine is constantly haunted by his past mistakes and sins. That makes him unapproachable, needy and always irritable with anyone who wants to talk, including Wade Wilson. Wolverine's tragic story was inspired by a famous event in the original Marvel comics and had a huge impact on the Wolverine's emotions and personality.
Great tragedies befell Wolverine and the X-Men
In the Old Man Logan series, Wolverine was tragically manipulated and tricked by the supervillain Mysterio. With his masterful ability to use illusions, Mysterio made Logan believe that the X-Mansion mansion was under attack by a group of powerful Marvel villains.
In a desperate attempt to protect the young mutants and his home, Wolverine unleashed his full fury and indulged in a bloodlust. However, after waking up, he realized that the people he mistakenly thought were enemies turned out to be his X-Men teammates – rare allies and close friends in an unnatural life. your long death.
Mysterio's trick was too much for Wolverine to bear, causing him serious psychological and emotional damage, plunging him into feelings of guilt, guilt, and guilt over his murder. the people he loves the most.
This tragic story was partly exploited in Fox's blockbuster Logan (2017). In the film, Wolverine is said to be responsible for a tragic event, while Charles Xavier/Professor X frequently opens up about something terrible happening. However, the audience witnessed a “twist” when Logan revealed that Xavier was the one who accidentally killed the X-Men. Known as the “Westchester incident”, this incident saw Professor Professor X continues to cause tragedy.
The newly released movie Deadpool & Wolverine also hinted at such an event, where Wolverine was the one who caused the tragedy.
Similar events in the newly released blockbuster
Deadpool & Wolverine also had a similar tragedy, with many major changes compared to the original. In it, the X-Men massacre was not caused by Logan or Xavier, but by a group of ordinary people. While Wolverine was intoxicated at a pub, this group of people attacked the X-Mansion and killed many mutants. After returning and discovering the incident, Wolverine was completely devastated, constantly gnawed by guilt and resentment.
To calm his mind, Wolverine continuously searched for and mercilessly slaughtered countless Marvel villains. This is a detail reminiscent of the original series, when Logan, under the influence of Mysterio, killed a series of different villains without knowing they were his friends.
Deadpool & Wolverine's approach and exploitation of the problem has brought a new perspective to the tragedy in the original. Marvel Studios removed the element of hallucinations and illusions, and instead pushed the responsibility and cause of things onto humans.
Although the core theme and meaning remain the same (loss and hatred), changes in context have helped Marvel Studios exploit Wolverine in a new and more different way. After all, they still achieved their goal when exploiting the new variant of Logan: An irritable, hot-tempered, careless Wolverine who always feels bitter and haunted by his past sins. .
