These are so good I love them
Definitely one of my favorites articles, well done!
In the film, X-Men, Days of Future Past, Wolverine is in France; standing in front of a mural that has him in it. This appears to be a reference to the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine; that begins with a montage of Logan and his brother fighting in wars around the world, throughout history. logan-1-5a...c4261c.jpg
Funny thing is that this is not designed by the movie makers, the guy in "La Liberté guidant le peuple" painted by Eugène Delacroix only coincidentally looks a little like Wolverine. Or maybe it is no coincidence... is Wolverine real? ;)
