Editing Tip 2: The idea is to make articles in Main look like they were written by the same person. A person with a good sense of humor, a person who doesn't talk about themselves with 'I' or 'this troper', or get in arguments with themselves, and instead just corrects errors they might have made earlier without drawing attention to them.

* Poor Caliban. In ''Apocalypse'', we see his place lacks of any sunlight. In this movie, we see why: Not only is he weakened by it, but he's also ''hurt'' by it. Every time he goes outside, he has to cover every inch of his skin.

** What may be the absolute worst thing about this world is TheReveal towards the end of the film. [[spoiler: A company called Transigen figured out that there was a way to exterminate the mutant race without ever having to risk themselves becoming known: they found a way to produce a GMO strain of corn that contained a chemical which prevented X-gene positive embryos from coming to term, then infiltrated the food industry and began distributing it all over the world, snuffing out the mutant race quite literally in the cradle. So, in the end, '''Magneto was right''': humans and mutants could NEVER co-exist thanks to FantasticRacism, and if the X-men had not stopped Magneto or Apocalypse from wiping out humanity, then mutants would never have gone extinct. Xavier believed in humanity's goodness... and was proven wrong. And the entire mutant race paid for one man daring to be idealistic.]]

*** If it does make it a little better, the creators realised this, and this film is officially designated in a third timeline branching off as a BadFuture of the ending of Days of Future Past, so the Apocalypse timeline isn't AllForNothing. This doesn't make it any less tragic for the context of this film though.

* Throughout much the film it's not clear how much Laura is ''really'' processing about what's going on around her beyond her immediate survival, because she spends most of the film silent, sometimes behaving more like an animal than a human being, and often like a child half her age. However translating her first Spanish rant at Logan reveals she's only been silent by ''choice''. And more to the point, ''she was completely aware that Logan on several occasions tried to leave her behind''.

*** The deleted scene of Bobby asking Logan about Sabretooth twists the knife even further; He reveals to Logan that Laura has told the other kids what he said about the comics, and that it was all made up. You can ''hear'' the heartbreak in Bobby's voice if he asks whether that's true, and that everything they've believed in and has been holding them together all this time was all a lie. It crosses over into Heartwarming when Logan assures him that even if it didn't happen the way the books said, there was at least a grain of truth to the stories.

*** In the scene where Laura [[spoiler:finally speaks]], Logan tries to tell her that everything in the books are made up. Among the coughing, you can hear Logan's voice cracking and pausing as he laments that the creators had turned everything he and the X-Men had done into a "[[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory big fucking lie]]." Logan is clearly heartbroken that this is how he and his friends will be remembered: as cartoon characters dressed up in "self-promoting leotards." [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre Of course, he's overlooking the fact that regardless of the actual content or accuracy of the books, they inspire hope in people like Laura and the X-23 kids and give them heroes to look up to.]]



* After all the trouble Logan went through to save mutants, whatever happened has broken him so much that when he finds out [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall X-23 is an X-Men fan,]] he bitterly tells her that life isn't like the stories and that in the real world, people just die.
