And every night, they would wander the skies together. But, one of the other spirits was jealous. Trickster wanted the Moon for himself. So he told Kuekuatsu that the Moon had asked for flowers; he told him to come to our world and pick her some wild roses. But Kuekuatsu didn't know that once you leave the spirit world, you can never go back. And every night, he looks up in the sky and sees the Moon and howls her name.
Logan : Wow. Koo-koo-ka-choo got screwed. Creed came in and Kayla tried to persuade him that Stryker was only using them.
This doesn't work and Creed, grasping her throat, apparently immune to her powers, promised her death for real this go around. Logan heard her screams and came to her rescue, almost killing Creed but was convinced by Kayla that if he did he would be no better than Stryker. She convinced him that she truly loved him. Kayla and Logan free her sister, along with the other imprisoned mutants. While leading them out of the facility, the hangar doors opened to reveal Weapon XI.
Logan ordered the others to find another way out so that he could engage this new abomination on his own. As they explored an alternate escape route, Kayla was wounded by sniper fire and sent her sister, along with the other mutants on, while she went back to look for Logan. She met him again by a destroyed reactor tower, and Wolverine started carrying her toward the plane. Stryker walked up behind them and shot Logan in the back, and later in the head, with adamantium bullets, which were the only things that could supposedly "hurt" him.
This knocked him out long enough for him to go after Silverfox but she turned the tables by touching his ankle and at first forced him to put the gun to his own head. However, killing him was not her style, so she instead commanded him to "walk until you bleed. Henney, as Agent Zero, flips around and shoots some guys, Fred Dukes punches a tank to death, and then there's a slapstick moment of the whole team riding up an elevator, which gives Wade a chance to mouth off and Meriadoc Brandybuck Chris Bradley to show off his electricity powers.
And then Wade deflects machine gun fire with two swords, because it's that kind of movie; John Wraith teleports around, and Stryker gets really excited about a fancy rock, so they all go off to massacre a village. Jimmy isn't into the pointless slaughter, so he breaks up the fellowship and goes off by himself to take the ring to Gondor strut around the Rockies topless like some kind of mutant Canadian James Dalton.
Six years have passed, and now our boy James is going by Logan, working as a logger, and shacking up with Generically Hollywood First Nations hottie Kayla Silverfox. Meanwhile, at a circus in Illinois, Bradley is enjoying quiet retirement with a trailer full of light bulbs when Victor comes calling for some murder.
At the same time, James wakes up from a nightmare, yelling, claws out, for an up-close-and-personal demonstration of how much lower the CGI budget was on this than on any of the X-Men films. He's having nightmares about the wars—"all of them"—which prove prophetic when Stryker and Zero show up for a sass-off. Stryker tells Logan that someone's hunting down the old team.
Logan is indifferent. Later, at home, Kayla decides to share a myth from her generic First Nations tribe. My primary consultant, Google, tells me that, based on the names that come up in the story she tells, it's probably supposed to be an Innu legend. However, the makers of Wolverine lack my close personal relationship with search engines, so they never get further than "my people," which is shorthand for "someone didn't want to do any research.
This is my favorite part of the movie, because in addition to underlining the fact that no one involved in this film did any due diligence by way of researching First Nations, it makes it really obvious that no one involved in the making of a movie called Wolverine has any idea what a wolverine actually is.
So, Kayla tells Logan this flowery myth about how the moon and Kuekuatsheu—Wolverine—were lovers, and the Trickster lured Wolverine out of the spirit world, which trapped him on earth, and that's why wolverines howl at the moon. First of all, in Innu myths, the moon, or the closest thing to a personification of the moon, is male. He's generally pretty silly, and kind of a dick, and never, ever a romantic hero.
So, team Wolverine appropriated the hell out of a mythic figure to drop into a convenient hole in their plot—but that's not the most amazing part of this whole glorious train wreck. Because it's pretty clear, from the myth and the number of times the movie is now going to hark back to it, that everyone involved in the making of this movie genuinely believes that wolverines are wolves.
Do you know what wolverines are? Hint: They aren't wolves. They aren't even canids: they're the largest member of the weasel family. They are scrappy little bastards, they smell terrible , and they look like very large, stocky ferrets. They do not howl, at the moon or otherwise. You now know more about wolverines than anyone involved in the making of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It's obvious by now that Kayla Silverfox is super doomed , so when she's driving alone and comes along a lone Victor looming in the road, there's not a lot of question as to what's going to happen.
Meanwhile, Logan comes across the severed head of a wolverine—an actual wolverine, mind you; at least the prop guys seem to have done their homework—which has been left, presumably for his benefit, outside the lumberyard. Sensing danger, he sprints through the woods, but not fast enough to prevent Victor from apparently killing both Kayla and her truck.
Later, at a bar, Victor cheerfully creeps out the locals until Logan shows up spoiling for a fight, some more terrible-CGI claws, and the kind of overenthusiastic foley that you only really get to indulge in when you've got an extended brawl between two characters with healing factors.
Finally, Victor throws Logan in front of a semi, lectures him briefly, and walks off, leading to the contractually obligated Wolverine-in-the-emergency-room gag. Stryker shows up and, in a creepy little nod to X2 , swears on his son's life that he didn't know Victor was the one knocking off members of Team X, although we all know he's lying, because it's Stryker. Logan can't win this on his own, but Stryker offers him the tools to defeat Victor, which is to say, adamantium bones. Everyone goes to great lengths to impress on him that this is going to suck a lot, and it does.
Inspired by his lost love's dubious understanding of both zoology and mythology, Logan requests new dog tags that say "Wolverine. Logan is lowered into a tank of water, with his crotch neatly covered and his dog tags still on—wouldn't they melt or something? But wait! Still submerged, Logan overhears Stryker threatening to erase his memory, pops his now-bladed claws—which doesn't make a lot of sense, considering that everywhere else, the adamantium just took the shape of his bones—and guarantees that a large number of Weapon X employees will have recurring nightmares about being skewered by an angry naked man.
Unaware that he no longer knows her due to Stryker shooting Logan in the head with adamantium bullets, as the bullets that had hit his brain caused him to lose his memory and give him amnesia, he says no. Logan shuts her eyelids before escaping the island. Logan's voice can be heard calling Kayla's name during one of his nightmares, revealing that he managed to regain his memory of her.
