5. Showcasing Loyalty
A character that displays devout loyalty to his or her own family, friends, mentors, or peers has a character trait that audience members respect and cherish—loyalty.
The antihero Wolverine/Logan in Logan displays his sheer antihero qualities that were a staple for his character in all of the X-Men movies in full force. In the timeline of this film, he’s all about self-preservation. He doesn’t even care about the little girl at first. But we learn that his self-preservation is accompanied by his loyalty for an aging Professor Xavier—the only man that ever showed faith in him as a human being when we first met him in the first X-Men movie.
He could just have easily been left Professor Xavier to die—the world would have been safer if he had—but instead, he suffered through a thankless limo driving job to afford the drugs that the Professor needed and he did everything he could to keep him safe.
