The Wolverine is a 2013 superhero film based on the character of Wolverine.Directed by James Mangold, the film is loosely based on Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's acclaimed 1982 Wolverine mini-series, which saw the character traveling to Japan. It is the second attempt to give Wolverine his own movie following X-Men Origins: Wolverine to which this was originally going to be a sequel. Hugh Jackman reprises his role as Wolverine from the X-Men Film Series, and is joined by Tao Okamoto as Mariko Yashida, Will Yun Lee as Kenuichio Harada, Hiroyuki Sanada as Shingen Yashida, and Rila Fukushima as Yukio.Set some years after the events of X-Men: The Last Stand, the movie follows Logan, after he left the X-Men as he travels to Japan to bid farewell to an old friend on his deathbed. While there, he is caught up in a world of Yakuza intrigue and falls for their latest target Mariko, the daughter of a powerful industrialist.Watch the official trailer here, the first international trailer here, and the second international trailer here. The storyline that inspired this film was also loosely adapted into a Wolverine anime series in 2011. Logan, a stand-alone Wolverine film also directed by Mangold, was released in 2017.Followed by X-Men: Days of Future Past, which is also a sequel to X-Men: First Class and the original trilogy.

Bloodless Carnage: The scores of Mooks that find themselves on the pointy end of Wolverine's claws have no bloodstains on them. However, Wolverine bleeds, although it doesn't mean much since he's Nigh-Invulnerable even with his gimped healing factor. Averted in the extended edition, where all of other the characters have bloodstains.

 The Wolverine / int_1779f10e
comment
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Shingen has a difficult relationship with his father, to say the least. Yashida passes him over as the new ruler of his dynasty in part because of his failures in management, but also because he thinks Shingen's daughter, Mariko, will be easier to manipulate than his headstrong son. Shingen responds very poorly to being passed over in favor of his daughter, becoming a secondary villain behind the main plot (as a noir film, this is an effective misdirect disguising the true antagonist).

 The Wolverine / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: Logan gives himself open heart surgery. Normally that involves cutting the sternum and cracking open the ribs like double doors. Obviously Logan can't do that, so he goes in from under the rib cage. This means he technically had to put a fist sized hole in his diaphragm and shouldn't have been able to breathe, let alone speak, while he shoved aside various organs in an effort to get his fist half a foot into his chest and reach his heart.

 The Wolverine / int_1a8dc238

Underestimating Badassery: Largely averted, sometimes played straight. The Yakuza hired by Shingen for his B-plot don't really realize how unstoppable Logan is, even with his Healing Factor suppressed. Meanwhile, Yashida and the Black Clan in the A-plot know exactly what kind of kuzuri Logan is and pull out all the stops to take him down. They even have a special chair designed to force Logan into the position they want, claws out and ready for his Healing Factor to be extracted.

Just Train Wrong
 The Wolverine / int_1fb947b6
comment
Just Train Wrong: The Shinkansen (bullet train) is powered by overhead lines, which the film gets right — the characters studiously try to avoid hitting them — but these overhead lines power the trains by way of very large pantographs, which take up substantial space on the roof the train. We could Hand Wave it as the Traintop Battle occurring atop a part of the train without one, but careful watching suggests that simply do not exist on the bullet train in the film, which is shown zooming along with no physical connection to the catenary above it. Case in point: there are at least two obstacles mounted low enough to pass between the train and the overhead lines, and Logan is forced to (carefully) leap over them. The question of how they got there aside, each of these on their own would have caused a major rail accident — perhaps the worst in the bullet train's half-century of operation — before it even got to him.

Actor Allusion: In The Stinger, Magneto warns of "dark forces approaching," which is from The Lord of the Rings. Will Yun Lee previously portrayed another Marvel's Japanese ninja assassin in Elektra. Hiroyuki Sanada plays Shingen Yashida, who uses a black armor very similar to the one Sanada's character used in The Last Samurai.

Character Development
 The Wolverine / int_3b113b7
comment
Character Development: Logan was an avid Death Seeker to atone for his guilt after Jean's death. When Ichir� gave him the offer, Logan refuses until he was sabotaged by Viper. The loss of his accelerated healing clearly shook up Logan as he is thrown battle after battle to the brink of death. He recovers this ability and he also manages to let go of Jean by the end of the film. Mariko began having no interest in the Yashida zaibatsu when her grandfather named her as his heir but with the turmoil over its ownership and the climactic turn of events, her appointment as the Yashida CEO is one she accepted wholeheartedly.

Adaptational Heroism: Harada. In addition to pulling a Heroic Sacrifice to save Logan, he's far less of a Jerkass than his comic counterpart, who is a foreigner-hating bigot. Yukio was much more morally ambiguous in the comics note Especially in earlier appearances, where she was a mercenary/assassin/thief than in the movie.

Ungrateful Bastard: Zig-Zagged with Ichir� Yashida towards Wolverine. He wanted to acquire Wolverine's Healing Factor to achieve eternal youth, but he claims that it's for Logan's own good since that what he (Logan) really wanted. Nonetheless, Ichir� Yashida still seems genuinely thankful to Logan for saving his life back in WWII. He also wants to protect his legacy, which includes his granddaughter. He redirects his sword when Mariko gets in front of it to protect Wolverine. He was also trying to get it peacefully by asking Wolverine first, so this was more out of desperation than outright malice and ungratefulness. Shingen shows nothing but open contempt for Logan throughout the movie. He never once acknowledges or thanks him for saving his father's life, if not for which he wouldn't even exist.

Logan's attempt at self-surgery. He even warns Yukio to look away when he's doing it to remove a bug that Viper implanted in him to reduce his Healing Factor effectiveness.

Not Wearing Tights: Played straight. Wolverine wears street clothes instead of his costume from the previous films, as he is no longer a member of the X-Men, though the Silver Samurai wears a suit of Powered Armor resembling his comic book costume. In a deleted alternate ending, we see Wolverine opening a suitcase he's been given and finding there... his classic comic book suit. After the events of X-Men: Days of Future Past, we might never see him wear that costume.

Broad Strokes: As an adaptation to Wolverine's backstory in Japan in the comics, Logan does not have any knowledge of Japanese culture and etiquette throughout the film. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is mostly treated as Canon Discontinuity (for starters, the opening has Logan in World War II alone instead of accompanied by half-brother Sabretooth), except for some examples listed in Continuity Nod.

Later we learn that the hunters were sloppy and stupid, and used illegal poisoned arrows, which resulted in the rest of them getting killed and also doomed the bear to a slow, agonizing death. Logan is rightfully distraught by the bear's suffering and and the damage that was caused and returns to deliver some much-needed justice on the stupid s.o.b.

Pragmatic Adaptation: The film is a loose adaptation of the Japan arc in Chris Claremont and Wolverine (1982) series, with its own spins to the characters. Viper and Yukio, Badass Normals in the source material, are mutants here; a Poisonous Person and a precognitive respectively.

Badass Normal: Shingen Yashida. No mutant powers, no supertech, just a katana. Nonetheless, he holds his own against the Wolverine himself. Oh, and he was weakened by Viper's poison at the time, poison that it appears was intended to kill him. Harada is a mundane leader of a clan of mundane ninja. Yukio's mutant power is a limited form of precognition that allows her to see how people will die. Her strength and skills come entirely from training, yet she kicks about as much ass as Wolverine, a decades old veteran warrior with an indestructible skeleton, metal claws, and an enhanced healing factor. Wolverine has a very difficult time with the two determined Yakuza on top of the bullet train, who do all the same death-defying stunts as Wolverine without any superpowers at all.

Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames
 The Wolverine / int_643879c7
comment
Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: Played straight with the adamantium Powered Armor that is not explicitly called Silver Samurai. The moniker of Silver Samurai was named after a suit of samurai armor that serves as a Legacy Character for the Yashida generations. Averted by Logan, who early on disavows the Wolverine identity as a sign of having left heroism behind, but calls himself The Wolverine again during his fight with Shingen. Played with for Viper, who never calls herself "the Viper" but does says she's a viper. Played straight with The Hand (mainly linked to the Daredevil / Elektra franchise, and ownership of those rights reverted back to Marvel before the film was finished), who are referred to as "The Black Clan" and led by Harada.

The distraction gets Harada impaled onto a massive heated sword.

Artistic License – Military: The B-29 drops the bomb over Nagasaki while flying at an extremely low altitude, probably no more than 1200 to 1500 feet based on the bomb falling for approximately nine seconds before it detonated. In reality, the bombs were dropped from over 30,000 feet, as this was necessary in order for the planes to get far enough away (by banking hard away from the direction the bomb was falling) to be able to survive the shock wave from the detonation.

The Unfavorite: Multi-generational one. Shingen claims Ichir� Yashida never considered him a worthy son, instead favoring his granddaughter, Shingen's daughter Mariko. Whether he is telling the truth or not, however, is left up to the viewer. Given subsequent revelations about his father, he might also have simply been mistaken; Viper implies that Ichir� Yashida chose Mariko as his successor because she'd be easier to manipulate than Shingen.

More importantly, he also hesitates to commit seppuku while his fellow soldiers readily did so. His fear of death was evident in later events of the film, and was revealed to be his life's main motivation.

Foreshadowing: One of the earlier modern day scenes in the film features Logan delivering some punishment to a hunter who supposedly used a poisoned broad-tip arrow to hunt the former's grizzly bear companion. Poisoned arrows reappear in the third act, when Harada uses a poisoned arrow to knock Wolverine out for the climax. Yukio's vision of Wolverine's future, although it doesn't play out quite the way she saw it. Double Subverted: Mangold has confirmed that Yukio's vision is finally fulfilled in Logan. Noburo's remark about the Yashida's expensive adamantium research. The fact that Yukio didn't foresee Ichir� dying that night.

Continuity Nod: When the ghost of Jean is jealous of Mariko, she reminds Wolverine that all the women he loves die. Kayla Silverfox, his love from X-Men Origins: Wolverine, also died in that film. Wolverine is afraid of flying. A subtle one to X2: X-Men United, as in the movie William Striker said that the only way to make the otherwise indestructible Adamantium malleable was to superheat it. Guess how Wolverine's claws get cut off. Professor X and Storm can be seen briefly on a photo in a file. Logan's skeleton being made of metal makes punches by him much more effective than they would be for another human. Y'know, just like we saw demonstrated in his introduction scene in the very first X-Men film. Also featured in the first film, punching Logan is a bad idea for the same reason. At least one Yakuza thug visibly breaks his hand attempting this.

Dented Iron: Logan's injuries take their toll after his Healing Factor slows down. For one, he's much more susceptible to concussions and piercing weapons. Logan also gets tired and needs to rest while taking a walk with Mariko. It's established in the comics that his adamantium skeleton weighs a couple hundred pounds. Without the healing factor to repair his fatigued muscles, that's a lot of weight to carry around.

Status Quo Is God: Pleasantly and surprisingly averted. Taking quite a bit of adamantium from Wolverine's claws right before a major installment coming up takes some balls from the creators. However the movie also plays this straight. Magneto is confirmed to have regained his powers, while Professor X is back, and in the wheelchair. Promotional images for the next film reveal that sometime in the future Logan gets his adamantium claws back, but he spends the bulk of the movie in a time period before he gets any adamantium.

Super-Strength: Logan tosses people far when he gets the chance. Having to lug around an adamantium skeleton for decades is going to make you a fair bit stronger than a normal human. Popular Science has made the observation that getting punched by Logan is like running face first into metal scaffolding or getting hit with a sledgehammer. That's very appropriate. He also smacks a ninja with another ninja's mountain bike, shatters a handcuff by smashing it against the floor, charges the Silver Samurai with enough force to shatter the metal scaffolding behind him, and rips off the non-adamantium parts of the Silver Samurai armor with his bare hands. In fact, out of all the X-Men movies, this movie has the most displays of Wolverine's strength.

Unexpected Successor: Shingen Yashida thought he would inherit his father Ichir� Yashida's corporation after the latter's impending death. Then Ichir� Yashida snubbed Shingen by naming Shingen's daughter Mariko as his sole heir in a new will. Mariko isn't happy about this either, since she never wanted that much power and authority in the first place. Ichir� Yashida was plotting to cheat death all along by stealing Wolverine's Healing Factor. The reason he named Mariko his successor instead of Shingen was because Shingen would never be content to be a puppet with authority in name only.

Logan's skeleton weighs hundreds of pounds in canon; when he jumps down onto a tin roof or runs into a car, the impact should show significantly more response than when a 200 pound man jumps onto it. These are Acceptable Breaks from Reality, since depicting a realistic material failure would add run-time and unhelpful complications.

Forgotten Fallen Friend: In Logan's mind, Jean is "all alone" where she is, and wants him to join her... except Logan knows that she loves Cyclops, who is also dead... and Xavier, who, while not her lover, was still a mentor and good friend, who, as far as Logan knew, was also dead. It's a Justified Trope in that if she was truly a ghost, Logan's guilt could have been keeping her from moving on. And if she wasn't, and merely a manifestation of his guilt, then it's perfectly understandable that she would focus on Logan and play on his secret fear that she couldn't move on for whatever reason. Still, the fact that he views his relationship with Jean as being very clearly romantic makes this trope sting a little.

Distant Prologue: The film opens with a flashback to WWII Japan, with Wolverine in a special cage meant to hold an impossible man, rescued by a Japanese soldier who refuses to let his POWs die in a US air raid. In return, Wolverine saves the man from the nuclear bomb, earning a life debt that sets the movie's plot in place.

Rōnin: IchirÅ� invokes this to describe Wolverine metaphorically. The latter's "lack of a master" translates to "a lack of purpose," and this turns him into an immortal drifter. note His comic counterpart does indeed have samurai background. This doubles as Fridge Brilliance because Logan's strong reaction to Professor X's supposed death in X-Men: The Last Stand, the post-credits airport scene (where Wolverine only cares about what Xavier has to say, not Magneto), and the 2023 portion of X-Men: Days of Future Past prove that Charles is essentially his "master."

There Is Only One Bed: Logan and Mariko are on the run from Yakuza thugs when Logan suddenly declares they'll hold up in the nearest hotel. Unfortunately it turns out to be a love hotel and there aren't any empty rooms adjacent to each other. Mariko asks where he's going to sleep; Logan says curtly, "I won't" and stands outside in the rain, presumably his version of taking a cold shower.

Zig-Zagged with Ichir� Yashida towards Wolverine. He wanted to acquire Wolverine's Healing Factor to achieve eternal youth, but he claims that it's for Logan's own good since that what he (Logan) really wanted. Nonetheless, Ichir� Yashida still seems genuinely thankful to Logan for saving his life back in WWII. He also wants to protect his legacy, which includes his granddaughter. He redirects his sword when Mariko gets in front of it to protect Wolverine. He was also trying to get it peacefully by asking Wolverine first, so this was more out of desperation than outright malice and ungratefulness.

 The Wolverine / int_c446f93c
comment
Artistic License – Nuclear Physics: Yashida stares directly into the flash of an atomic bomb and suffers no ill-effects. He should have been blinded on the spot, which would have made it a lot harder to run for the well. His survival of the following explosion and radiation is somewhat more plausible, due to distance and detonation factors (an air-burst detonation leaves relatively little fallout), but still rather unlikely given he waited until the blast had practically caught up to them. The film also goes with the "advancing wall of fire" depiction of a nuclear blast, which isn't how such blasts actually work; the thermal effects and the blast wave occur seperately, meaning that standing as he was with a clear line of sight to the explosion, Yashida would have received likely-fatal burns across his entire body within seconds of the detonation, well before Logan could have gotten to him.

This happens to the protagonist of the famous Japanese novel about the Hiroshima bombing, Black Rain (Kuro Ame).

Hypocrite: Seems to be this at first but it's averted. Logan gets pissed at Noburo for cheating on Mariko, his fiancé, despite having slept with her the night before while knowing about her engagement. It is actually not hypocrisy but a question of values. From Logan's perspective, a marriage that Mariko has no say in simply isn't one she should be expected to honor. Noburo arranging this with her father on the other hand is basically asking for her hand in marriage of his own accord. Although, it ends up getting played straight once you consider Logan's past attempts to get with Jean Grey, a woman that was in a happy relationship with another man the entire time Logan knew her.

Also Wolverine's classic costume makes a brief appearance in the alternate ending. When Yukio and Logan board the plane, Yukio hands him a large flat box. He opens it to find himself staring at a familiar yellow face mask, with other spandex pieces. All he can do is give Yukio a "Really?" look.

Continuity Snarl: In previous films it had been established that Logan had no memory of his past prior to 1979. So how, exactly, was he able to remember saving Yashida during World War II? It is possible that Professor X provided some psychic therapy to help retrieve those memories during Logan's time at the Mansion, but that's never stated in the films themselves.

Absurdly Sharp Blade: The heirloom katana that Yukio brings with her to meet Logan is able to cleanly slice barstool legs and a beer bottle, without harming the man on the stool or the guy holding the beer bottle. While adamantium blades are indestructible and can virtually cut through anything, superheating it is the only way to slice through another adamantium substance with laser-like precision. The knife belonging to the final Yakuza fighting Logan makes a 10-foot-long cut on the roof of the train.

Animal Motifs: Next to the Wolverine, we also have the Viper, and their animalistic nature is often alluded to.

Like Logan, it's an older animal, dangerous, but left alone won't cause trouble. Like him, it's driven mad by venom.

The film also goes with the "advancing wall of fire" depiction of a nuclear blast, which isn't how such blasts actually work; the thermal effects and the blast wave occur seperately, meaning that standing as he was with a clear line of sight to the explosion, Yashida would have received likely-fatal burns across his entire body within seconds of the detonation, well before Logan could have gotten to him.

comment
Artistic License – Physics: While fighting atop the bullet train, Wolverine charges at a mook many feet behind him by leaping up so that he remains in the same place while the train speeds by under him. In reality, Wolverine and the mooks are already moving at the same speed as the train, so jumping would at best provide only minimal deceleration through wind drag, as opposed to Wolverine temporarily flying like he's Superman. On top of a train moving hundreds of miles per hour, everyone should have trouble even breathing, let alone holding on, still less being able to move. A superheated adamantium sword is depicted cutting through room temperature adamantium. While (in the canon) adamantium can only be made malleable by superheating it, superheating the sword would only render the sword more malleable, not what it's cutting. However, it should be noted that the sword is several times larger and thicker than the claws, meaning it takes more heat to fully superheat it, and could theoretically be kept at a level too hot for the tiny claws, but that the huge sword could handle easily. especially when backed by the strength of Powered Armor. Logan's skeleton weighs hundreds of pounds in canon; when he jumps down onto a tin roof or runs into a car, the impact should show significantly more response than when a 200 pound man jumps onto it. These are Acceptable Breaks from Reality, since depicting a realistic material failure would add run-time and unhelpful complications.

He recovers this ability and he also manages to let go of Jean by the end of the film.
