One of the most astute observations made by a fan re the introduction of the character X-24!
Some reviews did not fully comprehend the real symbolism of the character X-24 in the storyline, but in this analysis, a fan from SuperHeroHype gives this keen observation --

There were some very emotional reactions, usually found on social media.
This group of fans expressed their feelings by revisiting the trailer, given that LOGAN is not yet available via video.

That is so true -- whether in overwhelming social media messages or even creeping into some of the reviews! In a sense, no one expected that the R-rated movie would carry so much emotional depth!
Thanks, too, Mr. Mangold!
And to Hugh Jackman. Patrick Stewart, and Dafne Keen!

Loved the LES MIZ-inspired alternate ending. Very clever. Great find, Jo. Thanks!

It looks like it is a popular site because they do the parodies for most big movies ( Apocalypse had about 5.5 million views eventually). But what I find a little sad is how so many disliked the idea of musicalizing the new LOGAN ending ( although some expressed their annoyance of the " uncultured" viewers  ).... One said he was not in favor of musicalizing the parody, and if ever they used that format, it should be based on LA LA LAND ( where is the biggest "eyeroll" emoji when you needed it most??) Some connected the two movies ( LOGAN and LES MISERABLES ) because they said Hugh was the lead in both. Good enough! Only a few realized how similar the finale situations were ( and how some of the original lyrics resonated in the parody version of LOGAN itself) -- *Logan and Valjean were both ready to die...and find final redemption (being at peace) at the end. *The characters of Laura and the other young mutant mirrored the characters of Cosette and Marius; both lived to carry on! *The character of Laura fully realized what her clone-father meant to her only towards the end ; Cosette realized Valjean's full love and care only at the end. I thought the "last edition" of the Wolverine comics and " the last confession" comparisons was brilliant! *The link between Logan and Jean is, in a way, almost evocative of the link between Valjean and Fantine -- both women died tragically, in the XMen series by Wolverine's hand...in Les Miserables Valjean's inattention to Fantine's plight led to her untimely death. *The parallel between the two mentors ( Prof X as mentor to Wolverine...and the Bishop as the man who led Valjean towards redemption) was another excellent similarity portrayed in the tale of the XMen and the tale of The Miserables ( English pronunciation, please  ). *In LOGAN, it is implied strongly that most of the XMen perished...and the finale scene at the Les Miserables barricade showed the fallen rebels. But both movies showed that beneath the violent finales, there is hope and peace to be found. Hey, how many XMen characters did you recognize in the parody finale ? This is quite a good reaction to the parody -- Jo |

Yes, I saw afterwards that the site gets a lot of views, and I stopped reading the comments because some were annoying me too -lol It looks like it is a popular site because they do the parodies for most big movies ( Apocalypse had about 5.5 million views eventually).

In case you may want to recall how it was in the finale scene ( although one of my favorite parts was omitted - it is the first part where Valjean was asking God to " bring me home") of LES MISERABLES -- LaLaLand -- how can anyone even think of using that as template for a musicalized LOGAN ?? Oops...sorry, I take that back  |

This is even better with the subtitles -- Towards the end, it was more of tribute to Hugh Jackman's farewell to the Wolverine role that they were singing about -- kinda sad  Jo |

Arguably, one of two most poignant scenes ( the first one was " Daddy...So, this is how it feels like") and this --

Remember SuperCaity ( who came to interview Hugh from Alaska)?
Was the décor influenced by the cross in the finale of LOGAN?

From the land of the haiku, although this one is not -- some poetic words ( the essence and beauty could have been lost in the translation) about the reaction to LOGAN :

I thought the inclusion of LOGAN NOIR was a masterful marketing stroke! Some people may not buy the BluRay and simply wait for FOX to air the movie on cable TV. But it is doubtful that LOGAN NOIR is the version they will run!

Just check her three drawn fingers and the hairstyle of the XMan on her drawing...and you know her favorite XMen is Wolverine And I think she would like to be known as someone like X-23 |

I have a feeling many other fans of Wolverine who are on the Restricted Audience list felt the same thing!
