You don't earn a tagline like "the strangest super-heroes of all time" without good reason. The X-Men are mutants, humans that have gone wrong and sprouted many physical deformities and disabilities. In most cases, the X-Men are afraid of their powers, and rightly so - imagine not having full control over your body and its abilities? If you had metal claws shooting out your hands, it would be terrifying. There'd be blood everywhere, lots of screaming, and quite possibly a hospital visit or two - your whole damn life would be rated R. But, because X-Men is a 12a superhero series, each character is seemingly quite happy with their situation, and any conventional melodrama is quickly swept under the rug in favour of endless streams of faceless goons getting wrecked by various powers. Prior X-Men movies have felt a little tame, and Wolverine 3 should fix that. Give audiences some of that great body-horror that makes the skin crawl, like Cronenberg did with Jeff Goldblum in The Fly. It's not gratuitous, and it's not there just for the sake of it - it perfectly fits the very situation these characters find themselves in.

He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
