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.
Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
