I’ve only watched this movie once, and it was a while ago, so this was a good excuse to give it a second try. In spite of some of the problems, I enjoyed it a lot! An over-the-top Hong Kong Kung Fu adventure! Like that clunk sound when a thug punches Logan in the face. Awesome!
So about Logan’s healing factor, I can see it totally working against radiation if his body is actively replacing irradiated cells with new ones. That’s not dissimilar to how the healing factor has been described in the comics, so it works here. But the thing I saw after watching again, his hair. All burnt off, and grows back to how he had it cut! Does his body remember how he grooms himself? Shouldn’t his beard and mustache grow as well with his hair? Or is this his default hair healing pattern?
Another great episode, and always love hearing Sara. Till next Not Comics time!
