Logan

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. But their compound gets raided by bad guys looking for the weapon X little girl, so everybody goes on the run together. They are hounded the whole way by the para-military group, and awful things happen in every scene. The little girl speaks mostly Spanish, Patrick Stewart is happy to be able to swear in a movie - finally! Professor X realizes slowly, that all the other mutants are dead before of something he accidentally did, when the Alzheimer's first began to take hold. Ugh. Then Professor X dies, and is buried in an unmarked grave, and everyone wants to die. Logan and Laura carry on to the meeting place, where there are other mutant children for Laura to take up with. 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!

The protagonist is supposed to be this author, played by Cary Elwes, but dude's a creep, so he's the villain to me. Reframed: this guy moves into Adrien's parents'  carriage house, in the back yard, and I guess she's not used to it being rented out, because she keeps going in there. Like, she has no sense of boundaries, and it seems like no one has ever told her "no," in her whole, beautiful life. So, Wesley, from The Princess Bride, I mean, Cary Elwes, is friendly and charming to her, and obviously flattered by the attention of a young woman. Oh, she's 14. Yeah. So, she gets obsessed with him, and he encourages this friendship by talking to her, inviting her in, spending time with her, and taking her suggestions, like...
