Logan: 31 Easter Eggs & References You Must See

10. The Leotard Gag

Throughout the X-Men franchise, there have been various teases of Wolverine wearing his iconic yellow spandex look (including the infamous cut scene from The Wolverine), and a running joke that the movie version of Logan would never be seen dead in anything so silly.

That started with Cyclops gently ribbing Wolvie in X-Men, asking if he'd prefer to wear yellow spandex rather than the cooler outfits the team sport, and it ends in Logan with Wolverine making a gag in frustration about the idiocy of the idea of heroes in spandex coming to save the day. He uses the idea of his exaggerated comic book form as a dangerous form of escapism from the stark reality that people die in the real world.

What he's essentially saying, both to Laura and the audience, is that THIS is not a comic book movie.
