In the beginning when he tells Charles Xavier he'll buy a yacht for them both to live on once he takes on this finale task, only for it to kill them both. Thinking about that part is deeply saddening to me.  |

Thinking about that part is deeply saddening to me. I don't think Xavier wanted the yacht. He knew it was pushing Logan to have a goal, so he let him try to achieve it. Remember what happened last time Logan isolated himself (The Wolverine). It was Xavier pushing Logan to take that job. And it was Xavier that told him to wait until morning to leave that house. With no yacht to get, Logan felt he had no purpose and let himself deteriorate. Until he found that purpose. |

I must admit I picked up 'The Wolverine' on Blu-ray but I haven't watched it yet. It was still very sad watching the events unfold, if anything this finale ride made Logan perhaps one of the most sympathetic comic-book characters of all. I know it's fiction but many elements in it ring true. |

I know it's fiction but many elements in it ring true. Even more so when you realize the movie is basically Wolverine with cancer. This is a movie you can only do once and at the end of the character's life cycle. They made it really hard to replace Jackman and have Wolverine in more movies. |

I choked up real bad when Laura said "Daddy" a couple of times as he was dying. I think he wanted to die though and had already lived out about four lifetimes of a normal person. He was ready to pass on like everyone else.

As painful and sad as Charles and Logan's predicaments are, their ultimate destinies are resplendent with redemption and love, particularly as they don't die alone.
With the real, loving Logan at his side, Charles's last thought is a happy one involving him, Logan, and the Sun Seeker.
Logan especially dies finally knowing what true, real familial love is, surrounded as he is at his "bedside" by his daughter and all her friends, who were both his new charges and his new allies.
Logan even smiles as he dies, basking in the kind of love he had never really known before: "So this is what it feels like."
So, despite everything that has transpired up to that point, Logan actually goes out on a high, filled with love and contentment, rather than the bitterness and misery that plagued him most of his life.
And he gets a very fitting burial from his new friends and a beautiful, poignant eulogy from his beloved progeny.
And he gets the ultimate honor: X marks the spot.
