Logan: Why I think *Spoiler warning* works

So I'm sitting down, rewatching Logan, and I just got to X-24, Wolverine's younger clone. For one thing, I have to give it to Patrick Stewart, his performance during this scene was so engaging, I never even took the time to consider if that was really Wolverine he was talking to.
But, anyway. I wanna discuss why I think X-24 was a fitting final antagonist for Wolverine. Well for one, there's the whole symbolic of one's inner demon mindset. Which has been used several times (Though one can argue Sabretooth already was this for Wolverine, which brings me to the closest thing I have to a grip with this movie. Sabretooth is Wolverine's archenemy, and, in the films, his brother. We couldn't get Liev to make a cameo?)
But I also look at it as symbolic of mortality. Wolverine is past his prime, he's healing factor, strength, and speed aren't quite what they use to be, he's sick, he's slowly dying. While X-24 physically is Wolverine in his prime. So when they fight, it's Wolverine quite literally fighting with his current condition.
Another, and this goes back to X-24 being Wolverine's inner demon. It's quite fitting, that it's Laura, his daughter, that kills it. Symbolic how love of friends and family can help us vanquish our inner demons.

Just a quick summery of my thoughts.

Watching the movie I thought it was a good twist, watching X-24 kill the Prof. It was equally tragic given Logan's connection to him.

Damn, It made my heart broke when logan saying " it wasn't me " to give Charles the realization that he would never turn on Charles or kill him. :''''(

Oh and also X-23's " daddy " while Logan was dying or the cross becoming an X defining the end of the Old xmen era/timeline in the movie universe. This movie depressed the fk out of me.

"Logan" should be used as an example on how to do a gritty superhero film based on an extremely popular and mainstream hero like Wolverine.

I'd also like to give props to James Mangold. I thought his "Wolverine" movie was pretty okay and when I heard he was gonna direct "Logan", I was pretty ambivalent about it. I thought he was gonna mess up since the Wolverine movie had some really hinky parts (especially during the third act). But goddamn, did he deliver! Makes me wonder how many amazing movies like this we'd get if the studios gave the creators more liberty (looking at you, Disney!!)
