2. Wolverine vs Stryker’s team: X2: X-Men United
We’d already seen Logan fight a few times, but this was the first time we got to see Wolverine cut loose. This wasn’t just him going after guys trying to kill him. These soldiers were attacking his family and his home. Logan was not going to let that happen without a fight. Logan went from being in a rage to using calculated attacks, stealth, and skill.
Out of all the fight scenes, this one was easily the most memorable. We got to see Wolverine at his best. Killing any and everybody in his way. It was hilarious the way Bobby looked at Logan after he killed the first soldier. This was a near perfect scene.
1. The end of Logan: Logan
This was the end of an era. Hugh Jackman had played Wolverine for 17 years and it was time for him to go out with a bang. Logan died doing what he did best. Protecting people in need. If not for his intervention, Laura and the other children would have been killed or captured. In the end, he sacrificed himself so they could live.
This was one of the saddest moments in a comic book movie. Maybe a movie period. We had to watch as Logan drew his last breath and the grip on his daughter’s hand loosened. Even after watching it a second and third time, the scene doesn’t get any easier to watch. Hugh Jackman’s Logan was an important part of comic book movies. Thankfully, he went out on top.
