Ever bothered to track the body count in other movies?  <\/p>\n<p>    Logan is a womanizing, problem-drinking, pro-bone-oh    curbside-ampu-surgeon. Mutate this with a soft spot for    defenseless loners and a rageful disposition toward oppressive    organizations, and the result is a perfect role model for any    Generation X-er.  <\/p>\n<p>    Previous films subtly portray the heros true attributes and    abilities as best as PG-13 ratings would allow. In X-Men:    First Class, 20th Century Fox grants Wolverine the only    allowable f-word, in his brief 60 seconds on screen. The new    release comforts true fans in that Hollywood is finally growing    a pair (of claws) to show audiences the real Logan through    Logan.  <\/p>\n<p>    American censorship is just a manifestation of unnecessary    fear. It was culturally necessary that the conservative,    home-schooling mom accidentally took her kids to see Sausage    Party, before realizing its content was not suitable for her    family. She should have done her research first.  <\/p>\n<p>    How does she protect her children from hearing what some people    publicly blast through the car radio? A theater accidentally    showing a red-ban trailer in front of a family feature holds    slightly different circumstances, yet all children grow up and    will experience similar themes in the real world eventually.    These types of mistakes just expedite the process.  <\/p>\n<p>    Its a brave new world, again. Endless possibilities.  <\/p>\n<p>    Justin Chaffee is a resident of Winchester and Newport News.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>See the article here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.winchesterstar.com\/opinions\/letters\/commentary-open-forum-the-real-logan-movie-slices-through-censorship\/article_4c2a89ca-a321-5028-8cc2-976ff1fe974a.html\" title=\"Commentary Open Forum: The real 'Logan' Movie slices through censorship - The Winchester Star\">Commentary Open Forum: The real 'Logan' Movie slices through censorship - The Winchester Star<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Justin Chaffee Anyone disturbed or surprised by the content and presentation of Logan has never read any of the comics\/graphic novels involving this character, aka Wolverine.
