Notes: 1: I'm ok with keeping the Kuekuatsu myth in there as an explanation for Logan's name, if they had expanded on it more. Because the main problem with the inclusion of this element in the film is that it goes against the obvious explanation for his name, that being that he is Logan is so wild and feral that he was named after a wolf. So maybe Logan is told the story when he meets Kayla's family (think Kekata's vision from Pocahontas) and begins to identify with the spirit as he feels that his own nature is part animal. Then when Kayla is killed by Sabertooth, he is so determened to seek revenge that he (and by extention the audience) begin to question how different he and Victor really are. In this way the myth could add a more layered and psychological element to the story, instead of being a silly and contrived explanation for how Logan got his nickname.

2: We also need to see how and why Logan and Victor become enemies, and why Victor kills Kayla. We need to understand what makes them tick, and why they decide to go down separate paths.

For example, there's an alternate version of the scene where Victor confronts Stryker after Logan learns of Kayla's survival. Here Logan willingly undergoes a procedure to erase his memory, prompting Victor to ask Stryker whether or not he'll remember him?. This is the first time in the entire film that Victor has shown signs of attachment, which is something i'd like to explore in my version.

3: I have a (semi-) scientific explanation for why Logan's senses are so good. There is the obvious reason, that he's supposed to be wolf-like and therefore would have a stronger sense of smell and sound, but i have an additional reason. Given that he has a strong healing factor, it would be reasonable to assume that he can heal things inside of his body as well as outside. Meaning that unlike regular people, his hair cells (those microscopic fibers inside the Organ of Corti) would either never die off, or if they did, would be quickly replaced be new ones. This would mean that after his mutation was unlocked Logan would have regained the full range of his hearing abilities. This explination could also applied to his sense of sight, smell, etc.

This idea is even used in DoFP with regards to Logan's consciousness, so i think it makes for a very good rationalization.
