6 Reasons Why Logan Has Ruined Wolverine Going Forward

Sabretooth Is No Longer His Greatest Foe

Probably the lowest point of Logan was the fact that Wolverine’s greatest nemesis, Victor Creed, AKA Sabretooth, was nowhere to be found – except as a toy reference in a deleted scene (see above). Mangold did try to get Liev Schreiber to return as the villain for a cameo appearance, but a Ray Donovan scheduling conflict meant it unfortunately didn’t happen.

So, the main villain of his story ended up being X-24; in other words, Wolverine faced himself. It’s a clever metaphor, showing us how he was always his own worst enemy and how he needed to conquer himself in order to find serenity and all that jazz. That said, it did kind of kick the Sabretooth character in the balls by failing to have him feature in a major part. How can you end off a Logan story without his archrival?

For decades now, we’ve seen Wolverine and Sabretooth tear each other to pieces and it’s become one of the greatest rivalries in comic book history (who could ever forget Wolverine #90?). By not allowing them one last dance though, it killed off the notion that Creed was ever in the same league as the likes of Magneto and Apocalypse. Now, he’ll only be remembered as just another foe in the long line of bad guys. It’s sad, really.
