X-24 Gave 'Logan' the Symbolic Ending Needed for Hugh Jackman's Farewell
(WARNING: This article contains major spoilers from Logan. Proceed with caution!) No one ever would have thought that an R-rated superhero film, shown only in 2D, would be as successful as #Logan is proving to be. Yet this film is defying every expectation, from smashing it at the box office to featuring a female character who stands against every stereotype. Fans can't get enough, and it's easy to see why. As #HughJackman's final outing as #Wolverine, this film is incredibly emotional. And the ending, while heartbreaking, was the perfect goodbye if not to the character itself, then definitely to Jackman.

An X-23 Movie Is the Long Overdue Female-Led X-Men Film Fans Deserve
(WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Logan. Proceed with caution!) This weekend, #Logan was released, marking the last #XMen film in which we will see #HughJackman and potentially #SirPatrickStewart. Theaters across the globe were packed with fans feeling a mix of excitement, anxiety and sadness. It has so far made $247 million globally, and with IMDb rating it 8.7/10 stars and the overly critical Rotten Tomatoes giving it a whopping 93 percent, the critical reception is off the charts. Both Jackman and Stewart have been praised by everyone who has seen this masterpiece, and deservedly so, but one cast member who we desperately need to talk about is Dafne Keen, who played Laura, also known as #X23.

The Season Finale of 'Westworld' Reminds Us What the Show Is Truly About
Only a few nights ago, #HBO's hit show Westworld aired its Season 1 finale, and fans and cast alike took to Twitter to share their thoughts. From discussing theories to praising actors, to expressing sadness that the show may not return until 2018, it'd be nearly impossible not to come across a #Westworld tweet in your feed. Understandably so! The finale confirmed the two timelines/William is the Man In Black theory, one of the most anticipated reveals yet. It also confirmed the true villain of the season, Wyatt, who, in a shocking twist, was revealed to actually be #Dolores! And of course, the final scene. Dolores kills Robert Ford and multiple guests as decommissioned hosts rise up against those who so foully mistreated them. It's a jaw-dropping, heartbreaking, beautiful episode that perfectly rounds out the season. Most importantly, though, the finale reminds us of what the show truly is about, and it isn't its plot twists.
