Logan - in which Wolverine and Professor X are the last two X-Men, and there is only one other mutant around, who care for deteriorating Professor X while Logan works cash paying jobs and tries not to pop his claws because he doesn't heal as fast as he used to. A woman approaches Wolverine and asks him to help transport a young girl across the country, revealing that she was made in a lab, as a part of an embryonic weapon X program, and along with other children, she was grossly abused. Wolverine can't take her because he has to care for Xavier, who is suffering from a deteriorating brain disease, non disclosed.

There is a large final battle, that Logan does not live through. Laura lives and makes it to Canada with her new friends, and leaves Wolverine in a shallow grave marked with an X. So Sad!

A bunch of space sailors are escorting science genius Sam Neill to the wreckage of a space ship. It wasn't just a space ship, it was a massive black hole generating machine, and it recently re-emerged around Neptune, and now its just orbiting, being spooky af. To give all the details, Sam Neill, AKA Dr. Weir, is having creepy dreams about his dead wife in his cryo/gravi-sleep pod before they even get to the abandoned wreck. Oh, its called the Event Horizon. So, once the crew rolls up on Event Horizon they get nervous, because its creepy, and a few people go out to investigate the empty ship. Miller orders Dr. Weir to stay aboard their vessel, and he doesn't do a good job of listening. As soon as the crew splits up, one young guy gets sucked into the g
