Special Thanks to The Dollar Shave Club for Sponsoring this video!

LOGAN, you've lived through experimental surgery, countless bullet wounds, an atomic bomb, and EVEN Bodily Disintegration from Jean Grey. But in the end it's your sweet metal exoskeleton that causes your demise? So sad! But there's one little issue - Logan is WRONG! Sure he may be getting poisoned by his metallic upgrade, but in the end, that's not the issue. Then, what's REALLY Killing Logan?! You're about to find out.

I thought it was implied that the food and drink had been tampered with to suppress mutations. That's why there are no new mutants. And his healing power is trying to work against the supressant, but is slowly losing

[angrycat]

i love how everyone misses the fact in this movie that the food they eat contains stuff that disables mutant genes, so no new mutants can be

[redwing]

If you think about it his body is 140 but because of days of future past his mind is 195!

[JosueRodriguez-lswy]

In the comics they dealt with this in 2 separate occasions.

When magneto stripped Logan of his adamantium, his healing factor was boosted significantly, alluding and sometimes stating that his healing factor was hindered by his coated skeleton.

In Old Man Logan, his age finally caught up to him to a degree where his healing factor was diminished and took longer to heal.

All in all, his healing factor was simply overtaxed by constantly working to make sure he stayed alive.

The only thing killing Wolverine is the fact the Hugh Jackman doesn't wanna play him anymore. Its the only theory that works

[actualtrash]

That was the smoothest sponsorship I have ever seen .

[squigglydickley]

For my boi Wade, this means that somehow, when he got the healing ability, a the mutation that caused it to ramp up for him, also caused his chromosomes to gain the ability to repair their endings, otherwise he’d pretty much be suffering the same problem.

This is actually a thing that scientists have been trying to figure out, because if we could learn how to repair those dna bits, people could probably live to be at least 200 years old

0:12, “he fought in WW1!” Casually shows a landing boat of D-Day WW2

[DrAlokChand]

To sum up the whole video in short - 'Logan is getting old'

[Royal_ram_]

Not only was logan in ww2. He also fought in ww1 and the civil war. He is 196 years old. And if you count the years with the days of future past age he is around 250 years old

[thefishey]

The whole theory is built under the assumption that Logan has lost his healing powers, but the movie seems to suggest rather, that Logan's healing has hit its limit with the adamantium. As mentioned, the metal in his body has begun to corrode over time, this would increase geometrically/exponentially over time, until his natural healing cannot keep up with it anymore. This is seen in movies like "The Wolverine" where the robotic parasites in his body kept his healing surpressed.

[Zenergist]

This is the most sensible.

Basically, Logan does age, but his healing factor masked his aging and extended his natural life. Eventually, he breaks down just as everyone does.

[NoBreakz]

They put the anti mutant stuff in all the food and drinks.

Meaning it eventually turn of his powers

[Camoflage]

It is explained in the Movie itself, when the Villain Doctor tells him that they stopped People from having random Mutations by using gene therapy over the food.
The farmer tells him too, that all the fields are full of genetically engineered Corn.
So basically, Logan by eating stuff with this gene food ingredient day by day, is slowing his
own healing factor down. He is aging faster and he even has scars left after healing up. His mutation is trying to fight the gene therapy that tries to block his mutation an is slowly losing the fight, because he is constantly eating more of that stuff.

[hybridmusic]

Actually, my theory is that some of his healing ability was extracted by Yashida in The Wolverine 2013. So he lost most of his healing factor.

When you call Hugh Jackman, "Wolverine" in every movie he casted

As a person who underwent scoliosis surgery almost a decade ago, I now have a new fear. Thanks, Matt!

[triniboi]

This is my theory....when Logan had his healing ability stolen, that was the moment he lost his immortality. It sort of was like it was cut in half or reduced. So when he got his power back he only got about half of what was taken or should we call it "shared". So instead of never aging now he will age.
