X3 Deleted Scene

I thought it was so cool how in one of the deleted scenes, Wolverine goes back to that bar and the owner lets him have a beer. Really touching t:

Yeah, it also put Wolverine right where he should be - in the wild, on his own. It's kinda classic Wolverine, as soon as something serious happens (like Jean dying again), he takes off.

Too bad that's the only 'real' Wolverine moment in the movie so it doesn't fit nowhere. (plus the dialog is lame)

It´s far from being the "only Wolverine moment" in the movie, but the scene seemed incomplete, like something they were only trying on and still rehearsing. I never saw it as the complete, final scene.
And the idea of Wolverine leaving again, altough very Loganish, doesn´t make much sense in the context of X3.

Agreed.

Over the course of the movies, he found a home with the X-Men, and a purpose fighting for Xavier's dream. This was established really by the end of X2.

At the end of X-Men, he wasn't really a part of the X-Men, despite the fact that he fought alongside them. Although he had formed some bonds over those 48 hours, particularly with Rogue, he was still somewhat the outsider. But after returning to the mansion, and going through the events of X2, Logan truly became a part of the X-Men, a part of the family. X-Men: The Last Stand only further established that, by having him STILL with the X-Men, training in the Danger Room with them, 8 months after the events of X2 (roughly 8 months, anyways). Plus, he put himself on the line for them. And his rallying cry of "We stand together. X-Men. All of us", and the "We lost Scott, we lost the Professor, if we don't fight now everything they stood for will die with them. I'm not gonna let that happen. Are you?" speech really just solidify that point that he is now part of the X-Men. He has found his home there.

For him to just up and leave, and go back to Canada, and go back to his old, nomadic ways again, just makes absolutley no sense what so ever.

It really turns it back to X1... When he was a loner... Does he not care bout Rogue anymore?

I thought it would have left a possible opening for the Wolverine spinoff.

I thought wolverine was a PREquel...

Since you guys have decided to breathe life in this thread I guess I'll let it stay. I was gonna merge it...somewhere. LOL

 

[Halcohol]

I think, had they put the original "Boarding the X-Jet" scene back in the movie, the Logan alternate ending would have been put back in as well.... at least, I hope so. Combined they help to show that Wolverine isn't the backbone of the X-Men, he's just a part-time contributor.

 

[AznBABYBANDIT]

but it's sad how they revert him back...

I didn't like the scene at all. I didn't like it as a lone scene, and I didn't like it in the context of the film. It just didn't work. They made the right move cutting it.

As for whoever was suggesting they leave things open for Wolverine. The film is a prequel, before the events of X1. Things don't need to be left open.

This is what I always thought. In X2, at the final oval office scene, Wolverine says "We'll be watching", which I initially thought it meant that he was going to stick around and be a full time member.

BUT I was wrong!

In X3, when Wolverine confronts Scott about his absence at the Danger Room, Wolverine reveals that he's "just passing through", meaning that he doesn't really stick around that much and isn't a dependable teammate. He comes and goes as he pleases.

I think the true moment he becomes an X-Man is at Alcatraz when he shouts out orders to the team and the soldiers ("Hold this line!"). He really displays his ability to lead the team and his presence there tells us that no matter what the odds, he's here to stay.

So, all in all, if Logan left to go to Canada after that one scene, his whole development for X3 would have been for nothing. To hint at his leadership and then have him abandon the team? Nah...good thing Ratner cut it out.
