so i’ve been going on a *bit* of a x-men binge (re) watch (re watch cuz i’ve already seen first class - apocalypse and the deadpool movies) and i made it to x men origins
first of all i love weapon 11 unironically, is he a good adaptation of wade wilson no is he sick as fuck still at least to me yes. i also unironically really love this movie i had a fun time with it!!! it’s definitely in my top 3 next to first class and x2
and in the wake of deadclaws / poolverine renaissance (cuz ik the ship has been around for a WHILE) and me watching x men origins, i personally wish that more deadclaws writers wrote angsty as fuck deadclaws x men origins au’s
because look at this shit
FOR CONTEXT : stryker was killing all these mutants to collect their dna to inject into wade’s body to make weapon 11, all he needs left is logan. but he’s helping the other mutants stryker has escape. so he socks weapon 11 on him. they fight on the top of the facility. it’s explicitly shown that stryker is CONTROLLING wade like a fucking RC car to attack logan. he stabs his two long katana like claws through logan and that’s where we get these shots.
look at the fucking pain in wade’s eyes. that’s not the face someone who’s completely mind controlled would make. somewhere in that noggin of his is the real wade and he doesn’t like what he sees, it’s almost like he doesn’t want to do this to logan at all.
