Now only the translation of the easter egg article can dispel the sorrow of my wolf investigation.

This section translated an article about writing easter eggs on the Internet. Although some of them have been said before, they have a different feeling after watching a movie. https://moviepilot.com/p/logan-every-easter-egg-comic-book-reference-x-men-movie-link/4209790
license plates, billboards, comic books are quite interesting. In the end, a young mutant of X24 was pressed by a car. Many friends think that his ability is to move metal, but in fact, according to the author's explanation, it is to create earthquakes.

3) Logan's license plate says WER 112, which may just be a coincidence, but Magneto in the 112 issue of Uncanny X-Men neutralized the ability of the entire team and allowed them to move only like children. Logan plays a disabled Wolverine, trying to help his young version of X23.

4) 112 may also refer to Wolverine 112. Our nominal hero banished himself after Professor X betrayed the entire team. Yes, in the 1990s, at some point, Charles turned to his dark side and created the villain Onslaught.

5) Speaking of Magneto, in the movie, a billboard with MAG appears many times. Every time we see these letters, it is hard not to miss Professor X's old enemy Magneto.

9) The camera in the cemetery shows Peters, which may be a tribute to Evan Peters. He played the role of Fast Silver in the recent X-Men movie and became a favorite of many fans.

15) In order to control Xavier's abilities, Logan locks the telepath in a large room called The Tank, which is surprisingly similar in design to the Cerebro room in X Academy. Do Logan and Caliban re-use that technology to block Xavier's psychic abilities?

17) Pierce hinted that Caliban's tracking capabilities had been used to hunt down some mutants that existed in this timeline. This reflects the story of Caliban in the comics, in which he was lured to the dark side by the apocalypse and transformed into a death knight.

19) Laura and her protector Gabriela Lopez hide in a place called Liberty Motor Motel. When Charles passed this message to Logan, the two cleverly mentioned that the Statue of Liberty played an important role in the early Wolverine battle.

24) The flashback video on the phone showed a gloomy turn. Laura cut herself to test her amazing healing power. This moment corresponds to the origin in her comics, and fans may be happy/sad to see this scene being filmed.

25) The comic books in the movie are Uncanny X-Men 117 and 132. Although the cover and inside story are different from the movie, the actual comic book version still has some correlation with the movie content. In issue 117, Xavier talked in detail about how he decided to dedicate his life to promoting human/mutant relationships. Issue 132 included a battle between Logan and Donald Pierce (the movie’s villain). This looks very iconic now.

27) News on the radio revealed a previous attack in Westchester that resulted in the deaths of many X-Men members. Westchester is where X Academy is located, suggesting that Xavier lost control of his abilities and accidentally killed his students. This idea came from the comic Old Man Logan (which is also the source of inspiration for this movie). In the original comic, Wolverine killed the X-Men under the influence of the Spider-Man villain Mysterio.

28) When Logan, Charles and Laura were sharing dinner with an unfamiliar family, the young boy’s room was filled with pictures of cowboys. This was a tribute to the western movie elements mixed in by director Mangold. You may also see a poster on the back of X23, which says "All shall perish", implying the death of the entire family afterwards.

30) X24 may be the original film of this movie, but there must be a dark version of Wolverine in the comics, including him being transformed into an evil knight of the apocalypse, and another time he even turned into a zombie. In the comics, the closest we were to seeing X24 was in the origin story of X23, Innocence Lost, where we saw his incubator. However, before we could see his real action, that thing was ruined.

31) The basic plot of the film is that a lonely, bearded man is forced to travel in the future after the destruction of the world, teaching a young girl how to survive. Sound familiar? It's not difficult to connect it with the director Mangold's recent movie and Naughty Dog's game, The Last of Us.

32) Laura is not the only experimental product created by Rice's experiments. Among other children, there are names familiar to comic fans, including Bobby (possibly with the genes of the iceman Bobby Drake or Sunspot Roberto "Bobby" da Costa), and Rictor, a member of X-Force, who can create earthquakes.

33) In the final battle, a child revealed that he was Joey, probably Joey Bailey of Marvel, Jean Grey's telepathic nephew. Rictor also used his seismic ability against X24 at a critical moment (note: it should be the picture of the car pressing on X24), showing all his abilities.

34) In the heartbreaking scene of the movie, Bobby is holding Wolverine's figure, the figure wearing the hero's traditional costume in the comics. Perhaps it implies that the Wolverine movie series will still be important in the future.

35) In the casino hotel, Charles and Laura watched a very old Western movie Shane (1953). This story is surprisingly similar to this movie. A very old musketeer stepped forward from retirement to experience the final battle. Shane's words left a deep impression on Laura. She quoted film lines to mourn Logan in the final scene.
"A man has to be what he is, Joey. Can't break the mould. I tried it and it didn't work for me... Joey, there's no living with... with a killing. There's no going back from one. Right or wrong, it's a brand. A brand sticks. There's no going back. Now you run on home to your mother, and tell her... tell her everything's all right. And there aren't any more guns in the valley."

36) Before the end caption appeared, Laura stopped in front of Logan's grave, turning the cross into an X shape. This left a strong ending to the Wolverine series of films, reminding us of the legacy left by Logan.
