Let's talk Wolverine mask!

[NinjaCarm]

If the Wolverine movie is indeed someway a prequel I believe they should put the frickin' maks on him in some way , shape, or form.

Perhaps in a samurai fight scene.... it would be acceptable.

Anyone agree!?

[xwolverine2]

this has been settled 9years ago.......

NO!

[NinjaCarm]

this has been settled 9years ago.......

NO!

Why not

[WildCard]

Because it has already been established that the movie Wolverine does not wear a mask. It makes even less sense for him to wear a mask in his past. Closest thing your going to get is a Weapon X helmet thing.

[xwolverine2]

unless they could pull it off (WHICH I SERIOUSLY DOUBT) without me laughing or thinking CATWOMAN or B&R....then HELL NO!

[Quing]

Yeah, no. No mask.

[chaseter]

He won't have a mask unless they go the route of him getting his powers/claws...getting a crappy costume to fight crime and dawning a mask. They will not go this route because it is out of his character. Plus I don't think he will be hanging around the X-Men or the X mansion in this one. So for him to have a suite and mask would be dumb.

[fallenAngel]

If they didn't even scuff up Jackman's "beautiful" face with his fight against dark Phoenix, they sure as hell aren't going to cover it up.

his mug is a money maker.

[The Kid]

oh..... my ...... stars ..... and ....... garters

Amen...Give us the mask, fox. That's all I want.

screw the rest. I want a wolverine wearing his sleevless wolverine costume for once dammit!!!

Make it a specially designed uniform just for him... As a secret weapon x agent he needs to hide his identity afterall...

i'll even take a wolvy mask during a masquerade ball or something like that. just gives us the precious mask, mastah...

[TheVileOne]

Really guys, let the mask thing go. The argument got old 7 years ago.

[XCharlieX]

Why on earth would wolverine have a mask. He needs not to hide any identity whatsoever. It would only add to a goofiness that any film maker would make sure is dealt with and omitted.

[The Top Hat]

Saying that movie Wolverine wouldn't want to wear a mask isn't exactly a valid arguement.

If this is set before Wolverine lost his memory, he would be a very different person, so while the new wolverine may not want a mask, the old wolverine might.

[JokerNick]

no no no no no no NO!

if it's not broken, don't fixt it!!!

Wolverine is popular already in the movie verse, don't mess with success...... a mask would be stupid........

I could see them doing a throughout to fans though, maybe before they show logan getting his metal skeleton, they show him in the miltary, and his outfit resembles that of the comics, not yellow, make it black, but have the same type of mask

[regalredstar]

seriously, I mean the Wolvie costume from the comics does not make him look scary(which it should considering his character) it makes him look goofy, and it would be even worse in a live film
~®®§

[Morgoth]

Wolverine needs a director with imagination, unlike Singer, so he can have a costume and get more into the comic stories.

[Tony Stark]

Woverine looks dorky in the comics, and always has. He looks better in the movies than he ever did in the comics.

[Decay]

No MASK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xwolverine2]

End Of Story...............9years Ago!!!

[DarknessOfDeath]

No Mask

[fallenAngel]

No capes either..........

sorry just watched the incredibles.

[BT18]

End Of Story...............9years Ago!!!

I missed the 1997 joint congressional committee to decide whether Wolverine can ever wear a mask in a movie.

[xwolverine2]

I missed the 1997 joint congressional committee to decide whether Wolverine can ever wear a mask in a movie.
i missed the part where thats my problem:confused:

[TheArtman]

Alex Ross design for the Wolverine costume looked pretty cool, it looked more like a black leather material and a brown suede or something like that. That might not look to bad on screen. And the mask wasn't all huge and sticking out.......just my 2 cents:)

[axex]

End Of Story...............9years Ago!!!

I too missed the joint congressional committee back in '97, but I'll take your word for it and stop thinking for myself.

Seriously, if you want realism, watch Saving Private Ryan. This is a comic book movie. He's a comic book character that wears a costume. In the comics, he wears a mask but still tears people apart. The mask doesn't change that. Whoever said comic stuff never translates to film only said it because they never tried very hard.

[XCharlieX]

I missed the 1997 joint congressional committee to decide whether Wolverine can ever wear a mask in a movie. I was there... lol jk

[Rac]

Well, I dunno. Weapon X "mask" would be almost necessary, but in the flashbacks we saw in X1 and 2 he didn't have it. I'd still like to see Wolverine masked. If they can pull it right.

[Lil_Flip246]

It is too unrealistic!!! And GOOFY in a bad way.

[The Kid]

let's find a way of making it realistic instead of giving up.

first of all why does he wear one in the comics. And we'll work our way up from there.

go.

[Artos]

Quick sketch.

[XCharlieX]

let's find a way of making it realistic instead of giving up.

Its my experience that some ideas just wont work realistically and are best left undealt with.

[Cyclops]

I think it's wholly unnecessary. Does Wolverine need a mask to still be Wolverine? If you take away Batman's mask, he's no longer Batman. If you take Spider-Man's away, he's no longer Spidey.

But is Wolverine really dependent on a mask? I say no. If he doesn't need it, why bother having it?

[x-fan]

my two cents, well lets see if logan walks down the street no one knows he has 3 nine inch claws in his arms just waiting to spring forth to dis-embowl you, so he can go unmolested, and as someone that kills...yes i said kills people, he might want to have abit of a hush hush put on his habit. thus the mask makes sense. cameras are everywhere, dont believe me ask the cops that beat larry king. in the first movie no one saw them fight, in the second one everyone that seen them died, if they had masks in the last one it would have made sense because they were going public, i didnt say coming out of the closet, they were just making themselves known. should wolvie have a mask, sure. should it come off definately, in a nasty drawn out fight were as in the comics it gets ripped to shreds, look at spidey's mask in one and two it got shredded, and wolvie looks best when he is messed up. do the mask right and no problem, just make sure it only goes on when he puts on the costume, near the end of the movie or whenever he doing what he does best.

later

[The Kid]

Its my experience that some ideas just wont work realistically and are best left undealt with.

well that's the end of that. discussion over. Mods, close the thread. :O

heh, butt my question wasn't answered though. Why's he wear a mask in the comics? Is it like the poster above says. He wants to keep his real identity a secret? Whateve rreason there is in the books might work if tweaked for the movie too. I don't know... let's find ways to make it work instead of lose hope. that's never fun.

ok. so. What is weapon x? is it government funded? Is it stryker's own illegal thing? As a fugitive from it should wolverine disguise himself?

[The Kid]

I think it's wholly unnecessary. Does Wolverine need a mask to still be Wolverine? If you take away Batman's mask, he's no longer Batman. If you take Spider-Man's away, he's no longer Spidey.

But is Wolverine really dependent on a mask? I say no. If he doesn't need it, why bother having it?

because it'll be cool and awesome to me to see him masked and burserking out like the comic.

I think the same thinking can be applied to a lot of stuff that found its way into the films. Rogue's white hair thing for one. Maybe the mask can be given the same treatment, and somehow given a substantial reason for being used in the film.

come on. I'm really surprised comic fans are throwing in the towel and saying "well just forget it. ain't happening..." There's all this talk about **** I could care less about. Samurais and ninjas from a trip to japan, and the deathstrike love interest. but a mask is out of the equation. unbelievable. lol what if he gets a traditional mask from his stay with the samurais and ninjas. that'd be perfect. those samurai guys wear masks sometimes don't they? somebody else out there must also want fox to be somewhat accurate to the source...

yeah it's fox and they're not the best with comic movies. they balls up with the phoenix saga, but dammit I still have some tiny hope left...

[theShape]

they could easily find a way to get a mask on him at one point in his own movie. after he is "created"...and before he ever comes into contact with Xavier. it could work, and could look cool.

[Cyclops]

I don't think as many people are "Throwing in the towel" as much as they just don't care. Story and character elements are far more important to Wolverine than fashion elements. Hell, if it were up to me, he'd be wearing a flannel shirt and jeans for the entirety of his movie. That's how I think Wolverine works best.

[The Kid]

so true. I feel the same about when they change races on certain non-iconic characters. I'm not saying it's absolutely essential that he wears his mask, but that it's not completely impossible like some claim. and there may be a way to include one rather than dismiss it completely similar to rogue's bit of white hair. It's like how he says 'bub' every now and again. If they left that out, it wouldn't kill the character but it's cool to hear. ya know? some stuff is just cool for cool's sake, I think... and why not have the mask? he looks badass when he has it on.

[Cyclops]

It might be cool, it might be as lame as all hell.

That's why I say just skip it and give us Wolverine as he works best - a roughneck with claws, costume or not.

[Retroman]

I think they should leave the mask thing alone though i must say the concept designs are pretty cool.

Does look cool... and i agree with wesyeed they should figure a mask in somehow... these pics look a little ninja(ish). I like the idea of a Japanese storyline.

[x-fan]

I still say he needs to keep his identity secret cause he kills, if everyone knows what he looks like the police would pick him up quick. the best way to do this is a mask, make it look good and the wont be an issue. he should only wear it on missions not just around, have wolverine(hugh) in civies most of the movie and when in costume with mask. my two cents

~®®§

I agree. If they want to pay homage to the comics, then maybe infra-red goggles that look like a mask (minus the silly ears) for his days as an assassin. They could also incorporate the metal-sheathed gloves. Other than that, stick with what works.

Yeah i guess you kind of forget that hes out there slicing and dicing... so i guess a mask isnt such a bad idea.

Nice sketch; bad idea. The mask should be more Green Hornet than Batman if they do go that route. I think this picture shows why it was ditched it in the first place.

[ComicKoryn]

Yeah, it's a good quick sketch, but if that was in the movie he'd end up looking like Owlman

Very good drawing, but the mask needs a nose piece!

[chaseter]

That is a good drawing...although it is borderline Batman and Fox will be sure to stay away from any similarities.

[liverlips]

I think Birdman looks more intimidating.

[ICXCNIKA]

No mask. General audience would compare it to Batman Begins, especially with the ninja thing. I know us fans would understand but to have him be training like a ninja and then start wearing a mask with pointed ears is too much like Batman Begins. No mask. :)

I see what you mean, but I still want Wolverine to have his mask. As long as the mask isn't solid black, there won't be a problem. The front of his mask, along with the ears, should be black, but the top of his head, and the stripe going down the nose, should be gold, yellow, or brown, maybe. Honestly, Wolverine's and Batman's masks look very different.

give it 10 years, they'll have the mask when they reboot the franchise :P

[Aiden]

I would show him wearing a mask that's a homage to the comics. Like if he's training or something like that.

[Nathan]

I'd like it if Wolverine has a fight in an alley or simply on the streets and gets somehow thrown into a nearby shop window. There we would see the traditional Wolverine mask on a mannequin.

Then maybe let Logan say something like "Who the heck would wear something like that?" And the fight continues.

People complain about a mask, now, but if featured in a movie, everyone would warm up to it real fast!:o After all, there were those who thought 30-foot Sentinels would never work on film.

[BatJeff7786]

Wolverine needs a director with imagination, unlike Singer, so he can have a costume and get more into the comic stories.This might be the most hilarious thing I have read in a while. Singer is a great director. A GREAT one. Just because you didn't get Wolverine in his yellow spandex doesn't mean Singer doesn't have imagination. He had to come up with ideas for the X-Men films that would be presentable for mainstream audiences and fans, and honestly, the fans have nothing to complain about besides costumes (and even that is debatable). Movies and comics are different mediums, there will ALWAYS BE CHANGES. Fans like you that complain becuase a character looks different give comic fans a bad name.

we never saw sentinels...

[vindrow]

PLease no mask ever, he looks fine without it no reason to screw up this film by trying to make a mask. Besides, you probably only see him in street clothes in this film, probably won't be in any type of costume.

[GoldGoblin]

Maybe the mask could have a function like it has a radio in it,night vission,or he wore a mask so his enemy wouldn't know his identity and go after his family,but after they died he didn't need it anymore.

[ICXCNIKA]

No, but we saw a Sentinel--and that's good enough.:o

[ICXCNIKA]

Good idea!:up: I know in X-Men: The End, he's got a cool-looking mask/helmet, with lenses.

[ICXCNIKA]

We saw a head and flashlight eyes. How is that a Sentinel?
In the film, itself, the top half of the Sentinel's body is clearly visible, but silhouetted against the surrounding lights--whatever they were. Besides, Wolverine did cut the head off of something, didn't he?! And we heard the giant robot walking around, didn't we?! My whole point was, we now see it's possible for a 30-foot Sentinel(s) to be depicted on film, and not come across as silly-looking.

[Nathan]

We know nothing. To judge if a 30-foot robot would've looked silly we would've had to actually see said robot. A head, a silhouette and some sound effects are really nothing.

[giggs11uk]

I dont want a mask, it wouldn't work with the movie version of wolverine and typical audience member will be like

"wtf he can heal himself why does he need a mask for protection"
"wtf why would he try to protect his identity by wearing a mask, even he dosn't no who he is"

[x-fan]

Does no one read my posts?? He friggin kills people on a regular bases, everyone not seeing his face while he is doing it might keep his face off the 6:00 news hmmmm.............jeez no reason to wear one indeed.

[ICXCNIKA]

GREAT POINT! I agree, completely!:up:

[Nathan]

The Punisher doesn't get caught even though everyone knows who he is and what he looks like. So if he doesn't need a mask, neither does someone who doesn't even know who the hell he is himself.

[x-fan]

We always talk about how we want to films to be realistic, how long do you really think the punisher would last before the athorities picked him up. come on his face would be everywhere. if you are killing people you wouldnt want everyone knowing what you looked like. that is the one really fake things about the punisher. he would be in jail inside a week lol come on give me a better reason for no mask. done right it could look great.
my two cents

[Spider - Man]

cameras are everywhere, dont believe me ask the cops that beat larry king.



When did the police beat up Larry King?!!:confused:

[x-fan]

opps my bad i meant rodney king it happened sometime back so yeah...

[vindrow]

Does no one read my posts?? He friggin kills people on a regular bases, everyone not seeing his face while he is doing it might keep his face off the 6:00 news hmmmm.............jeez no reason to wear one indeed.


Well, in that case just put a ski mask, or stocking mask on him...that will work just as well.

[Sasquatch]

How about put a mask on him... then shoot him in the face?

[Fanticon]

maybe in one scene...showing him wearing the suit he uses for black ops missions he was doing...obviously not yellow and blue, but more special forces looking and the mask, it would have to be a darkly lit scene...so for effect the mask looks a little less corny and can be seen as a way to scare or psyche out enemies...but anyway its gotta be a short quick moment...he cant have the mask for the entire movie...just a scene as a nod to the fans and the character history.

[Deep Thinkin'!]

I highly doubt they will....... Only when he is in the yellow or brown uniform does he wear a mask. In the x-men movies he's just in a black leather uniform. No mask in the X-men movies, thus there should be no mask in the Wolverine movie. Possibly for one scene he'll have a mask on, like a ski mask or something to "take care of someone" or something liek that. But I kinda doubt it..... but we'll just have to see won't we?

[chaseter]

^ I like how Singer started the X world in movie terms and depicted them as regular people/mutants fighting for themselves and humanity against villians. They are not superheroes and have no need to hide their identity. The movie world knows who each and every mutant is and would be stupid to have masks. Plus Wolverine would never wear a ski-mask. What is he trying to hide???

They are breaking the law by being vigilantes and they're not in keeping with their identity of being TEACHERS AT A PREP SCHOOL. Plus a character like Wolverine could be more identifyable due to his distinctive hairstyle. A mask would take away that giveaway.

I think this would be the way to go. Nothing too strong, just enough to pull it off. Maybe even use one of the old patterns (but not colors?).

[Deep Thinkin'!]

eh... i dunno. I just don't think he'd wear one.... wolverine probably wouldn't care.

[Fanticon]

You are missing the point...this is not the Wolverine from the Xmen movies that we are going to see...this is going to be a prequel...and if nothing else, it will be either a mix of the storyline "Origins" or his pre-and-prior Weapon X days...doing black ops and doing the goverments dirty work. Yes, Singer did have a perfect approach to why he scrapped the mask look of the comics...but...You gotta think how far back this Wolverine movie is gonna go...In X1 Professor X tells Logan "its been almost 15 years since you've been on the run"...I imagine they'll try to tell the story of that period and just before it...so when he was on secret death missions or assinations with the likes of Sabertooth and others...people who were for the most part created and trained to become more than what they already are...It would makes sense for in one scene if they choose to do it...show Wolverine in a similar look to the mask on a black ops mission (maybe a flashback sequence), where they would have to conceal they're identities for the saftey and security of the mission...putting a ski mask on him would be a slap in the face to the fans and the history of the character...no one is saying that the mask and costume would work in the entire movie or other Xmen movies.

[chaseter]

^ I think his mask only works in the comics. No special ops people on this planet or ever have worn a mask like Wolverine's to conceal their identity. It is purely for show in the comics. If we were a vigilante out to save all of humanity by foiling the occasional bank robber, purse snatcher, etc...then he would need a mask. Jackman as an actor needs to show his face to convey the brute grittiness that is Wolverine. He doesn't hardly have the voice so the money maker is his mug. But I totally agree...I would not mind it one bit if they threw the mask in their somewhere as a shout out to the fans. But he shouldn't wear it long and I think the writer's will realize this.

[Fanticon]

you're flip flopping but i'm glad you've come around...also, black ops agents don't have adamantium claws either...would it be so far a stretch for a minute to give him his mask in one short scene? Infact...the general public does recognize the differences about how he looks in the comics and the movies...it was the first thing my mom pointed out when we saw X1 a few years ago...but she does like Hugh's face without it and it sells his character better...giving him a mask in one brief moment...hell, i've changed my mind, we could see it hanging up in his gym locker...whatever...you can't say it doesn't make sense...nor would it affect the movie negatively.

[Silver Lantern]

i'd like to see the classic mask in a scene or two...maybe a black one with similar design in a black suit that looks good together with red eye lenses that has night vision and things in them. The mask could be something he wears that he uses to sneak into a place and needs the technology for it and he has to hide his face so nobody knows weapon X is responsible for an assasination attempt and thats where he can meet and fight Sabertooth for the first time.

[boydston_14]

When did the police beat up Larry King?!!:confused:

Well, if they beat up Larry King then believe me, that would've been some big movie by now.

Anyways, I'm split on the decision, on one hand I want him to have the mask because it could look really cool, but on the other hand he shouldn't have the mask because it probably wouldn't work with the character they've already developed in the previous movies.

[x-fan]

i want the comic reality, not the movie verse it sucks, why does batman wear a mask, he isnt trying to protect anyone he is trying to scare badguys, why would wolvie wear one same reason, that mask in a dark ally would mess up you mind in a hurry just like bats. dont make it bright colors i like browns and earth tones for wolvie. i personally hate the damage singer did with the property. no sci fi elelments no time travel bah there has been many movies made about sci fi and when handled with respect and when it takes its self seriously wow, signs ..alien...predator to name afew. having people run around in costumes is just as believable as having lasers shooting for your eyes or controlling the weather with a thought give me the real wolverine anyday, compared to him movie wolvie sucks. not hugh, hugh is good...i do wish they would have shot him short though

[ICXCNIKA]

If Wolverine will be fighting ninjas, he'll need a mask, as well as a leather and rubber outfit, for protection.

[Nathan]

Protection? What for? He has a healing factor.

[muscaremy]

i suggest they just buy this.....

here we go... i always forget which one it is wen hostin haha

protection from injuries=no
protection as in protect identity=yes

but i honestly hope they DO NOT use a mask.... like the ones in the comics. In the comics its good, but in real life..... ugh...

[stryfe]

yeah like Spidermans costume fits real life so well.......or Batmans supermans or anyone elses.

[Nathan]

yeah like Spidermans costume fits real life so well.......or Batmans supermans or anyone elses.

Bats wants to frighten his opponents and tries to be symbol that can't be destroyed. Superman and Spider-Man are your typical superheroes who rescue damsels in distress and get little kittens from trees.

Wolverine is Ex-CIA, Ex-Samurai and a Weapon X experiment on the run. What does he need a fancy costume for?

[stryfe]

So when he wears one its "fancy" the others you make up nice excuses for? Lame. Sybmolic blah blah blah. Its a movie, not real life im sure if your asking people to put aside realisms sake for a guy with claws and insane healing factor theyd go one more step and accept a costume.

[_BB_]

Difference between wolverine and supes, spidey, batman is, hes NOT a superhero! Not your classic one anyway, he doesnt go out every night and protect to "weak and innocent", he sits at the mansion drinking a beer and working out in the danger room.

He doesnt need to protect his identity so he doesnt need a mask.

And again. Why. Would. He. Need. One?

The reasons I gave you for the other heroes aren't just lame excuses, they are facts. They are Superheroes, they have costumes to hide their identity because there are some things they just can't do out in the open without risking the lives of the people around them. And they are Symbols in the eyes of the people.

Like _BB_ said, he sits ind the Mansion and drinks beer. He doesn't wander at night through the streets looking for purse stealing thugs.

SO costumes now are only used to protect ones identity. How the hell did any of you read comics without pointing out that they look silly in there costumes? Fans, I think not. :down

[stryfe]

Maybe you should read it again. Its not that hard to understand.

[Nathan]

Same reason why everyone else looks like their comic counterparts, recognition. You want to see that guy and be able to tell who he is.

[stryfe]

Right. Thats how I feel about his mask and costume. Im not saying it needs to be TAS costume but give him something from the books that add to the look that is wolverine. Not just his damn hair. You walk into a movie knowing its not real so things like wild costumes and set pieces are accepted. It wouldnt be any different here. Hes a comic book character give him some creativty. If I wanted to see a guy who drink beer and works out and doesnt kick ass in a crazy costume id look in the mirror.

[Nathan]

It's not lack of creativity. Brian Singer already intended to give Wolverine his comic costume with mask and everything in X1. The only reason he didn't have the mask in the Movie was because they couldn't figure out why he'd need one.

He's not a hero. He doesn't have a need to hide his identity, if there were people trying to catch him they would've done so already during his 15 years on the run. And giving him a costume just for the simple fact that he's a comic character simply doesn't cut it.

Bats, Spidey and Superman all have reason for why they wear what they wear. Wolverines only reason was that it looked cool, and for a movie that tries to be grounded in reality that isn't enough.

[stryfe]

How about this reason...because he wants too. Is that not enough in these days of over analysis? I think making a movie about a comic book character then subtracting half of what makes him well known is stupid practice.

[stryfe]

BTW if I wanted to watch a movie "grounded in reality" ill watch super size me not a comic fantasy movie.

[Nathan]

Yeah, some tough as nails, beer drinking, throat slitting, ex-CIA agent and Weapon X participant, wears a costume simply because he wants too... Riiiiiight. If you've forgotten, he already was complaining about the Uniforms in X1.

So if you don't have anything useful to provide to this subject other than "Because he wants to" or the fact that you just want him to wear a costume because he's a comic character, I think the discussion should end here.

[stryfe]

Then stop posting I could give a **** less if you like what I type or not. He should have a costume period. Simply because you think its "unrealistic" for a COMIC character to have a ****ing costume doesnt mean others I.E. not you, dont.

[Nathan]

For someone who couldn't care less you sure sound rather defensive.

The tone of the movies have been already set, and colorful costumes have no place in them. They try to fit characters we know from the comics into real life situations and try to make them as believable as possible. That's why we don't have Storm babbling things like "I summon the lightning!"

You see how it'd be if there was a guy with claws and a healing factor in a real environment, you confront them with political and ethical questions and see how they react. They are trying to make them more than 1 dimensional characters who are grunting 24/7, disembowl people left and right and climb on roofs in yellow spandex.

[Flame on!]

I always found it rubbish in the comic. I've always had a problem with the X-Men comic outfits in general, though.

[_BB_]

The only reason they used different colour costumes in the early comics was that the quality of the art is nowhere near as good today so they had to have a way for the reader to immediately recognise who is in each panel, the easiest way to do that was to give each character their own individual colours. Today though, they can use all black leather in comics like ultimate because its easy to tell by the face who each character is.

I think Singer said that on the X 1.5 dvd...

one of the reasons in the comics given for them wearing costumes was so they would look like superheroes, and they would be persicuted less. as for that last peragraph you wrote, it is the reason he sould wear a mask. again he wouldnt want to be known as the guy killing people. and wolvie has never been a one dimensional character. how good would it be for a school to have a known killer as a teacher there. please try to suspend your disbelief and understand we just want the same respect given to our heroes that other heroes get. wolverine has worn the same costume in the comics, with color variations for 30 or more years, it is as iconic to his fans as superman's is to the rest of the world

[Nathan]

Ultimate Wolverine seems to handle the situation well without having a mask.

[x-fan]

of course it does seing that the ultimate verse is based alot on the movies, or didnt you know that??

You're exactly right!:up:

[jim_root_rules]

dnt kno if anyone has sed this but, the mask could have a cameo. like weapon x gives him a suit tht has the mask on it and he tries it on and is liek wth is this about, kindda like he was wen he first went to the mansion and was making fun of the x-mens code names

[Deep Thinkin'!]

You can tell it's Wolverine by several things. 1. his claws 2. his hair 3. his "i don't give a d*mn" attitude

I think comic book movies are a little more realistic and interesting when they don't have bright colored costumes and masks.

He said "You actually go out in public in these?" (or something similar to that) in x1. If he thought THOSE were bad why would he choose the colorful spandex and mask?

[chaseter]

^Good thought!

Why do so many of you want a realistic comic book movie? The very nature of the movies is to be unrealistic and excite the imagination right? Its possible to give him a decent costume while keeping the "realistic" illusion. I think Singer was lazy and lacked vision so he shoveled everyone some horse**** of why he couldnt get a decent costume for the characters and everyone ate it up.Now its carrying over. About your bright colored costume comment Iv stated earlier it can be done without being distasteful and cheesy and never did I post the costume had to be bright.

[Marvel Man]

I'd say no mask because really i never understood what the mask was supposed to do. lol Wolverine cant get harmed lol he has adimantium laced all over and he ahas a healing factor. Plus to me the mask looks goofey lol It looks like it has wings

It would no doubt be interesting and excite the imagination if they had the costume, i'm not denying that fact.
Also, if Singer was lazy wouldn't he just go on ahead with the costumes already thought of instead of designing new black leather ones?

I think they had a little reasoning on why they didn't choose the comic versions.
1. People already thought mutants were freaks. If they were found wearing crazy costumes wouldn't that just make the public think they were right about them being freaks?
2. superheros wear special costumes so that they are recognizable (at least most of the time) But in this case, the x-men were not really "superheros". And Wolverine is the farthest thing from hero but at the same time is not evil.
3. In the comics they DO have them wearing some plain black uniforms. Not A LOT but a few....

Please note that I think it would certainly be entertaining to see the costume and mask, but I still prefer not to. Of course this is my own opinion. I'm a serious person, so serious and realistic movies interest me. :D

Wolverine wearing a mask in some sequence would be cool, IMO. A great nod to the comics.

A Samurai type scene would explain it well enough.

[hitpehoaos]

i hate to kill that idea but i am pretty sure we are not getting any samurai in the movie

[ICXCNIKA]

Protection? What for? He has a healing factor.

Yes, he has a healing factor, but that doesn't make him invincible. He can only heal from so much, so quickly. Look what happened to him at the end of X-Men 1, or when Magneto ripped his adamantium out! In the latter case, it took Jean Grey's telekinesis to hold Wolverine's body (flesh) together, because his healing factor was exhausted. Thus, if Wolverine's fighting an army of ninjas, constantly stabbing and slashing him, he'll need more than his healing factor to protect him.

[Nathan]

He survived the Phoenix, I doubt a couple hundred Ninjas in the Movieverse are going to give him any sort of trouble. And if they go with the current comics he can heal in minutes after his entire flesh has been burned from his bones.

[Decay]

Just because Wolverine can heal, he still feels pain, and it's never convenient for him to be wounded. If he has the option, what do you think Wolverine would prefer, an outfit that provides protection, or one that doesn't?

[ICXCNIKA]

Hey u know what that actually looks alright. Actually a little scary which is good. I think that a mask in the traditional sense would not be good in a movie which has a darker plot and darker scenes, if the movie is meant to be cartoony like spiderman for example then itll work. A mask which looks like its meant to be part of Wolverines face like face paint or something would be as far as they can go in my opinion. Something like the picture hitpehaos put up.

Yea its hard to see that last one but I can tell its not a halloween mask looking thing. it looks like it could be a part of his face but it makes him look darker and meaner, which it would be good if the mask can do that.

its real close, can you use more lighting and let the mask follow his sideburns down under his chin , keep up the good work man

if i were any good at this i would do some myself but all i have on this computer is paint, i would love to see more tries by alot of people but you are doing good better than most that try to show why it would never work, i would like to show them that it could if done right

[Cdawg751]

I think The Mask is kinda played out...i mean were so used to him not having it in all 3 films...an if he didnt wear it then why would we see it in a prequel?

[Stupify_me]

I want the Mask I love the comic look and wish they would of done it long ago it was very disapointing.

[not_a_victim]

Since Stryker hinted in XMII that Logan used to do some sort of black ops, it could start as some sort of headgear ala any one of the generic "Sneak Ops" games out there, then maybe evolve from that.

[IKnowSomeJudo]

How about face-paint instead of a mask? Native American style.

But no, I wouldn't want to see him wearing the mask the entire time. If he does, at least use the orange-and-black colors. No mask.

[MemnochZERO]

So gross.
I never want to see a mask on Wolverine, ever, on film. And frankly i can do without it in the comics as well. On film he'd look like a cheep knockoff of Batman and Daredevil combined with one of those people that dessses in an animal mask and gets in a sexpile.

No thanks. Not on Wolverine if i want to keep taking him seriously.

Where's his hair go when he puts the mask on? I've always wonderied that. Cause when he takes it off his hair is always in the same way.

under his mask?

No mask no mask no mask. It would be ok if he wore something a little understated for a few seconds in the movie to pay homage to all of you. But I think a mask is a bit ridiculous...especially in the movieverse.

[Cyclops]

Yeah, masking Wolverine is a bad idea for the movies. You have to understand that alot of women have seen these movies almost exclusively for the fact that they find Hugh Jackman to be attractive.

FOX wouldn't want to to cover their money maker's face.

[KingOfDreams]

They shouldn't use a mask. T'would look stupid in a film setting.

[cushe83]

They could make a mask work.

[Savage]

I think his recent mask would work pretty well...Then again, anything Cassaday draws looks like it would work in real life.

[Wige247]

if he did wear a mask, why would he put on that bulky, pointed mask instead of a ski mask, or military camo?

The only a mask gets into the movie, is if he tries on a bunch and decides that all the masks are stupid.

[FelixLeiter]

Wige247 is completely right. I'd love for it to work but having such a crazy mask doesn't make sense in the now established X-Men film universe.

[markaudette]

I am going to add my very late reply to this thread:

No mask.

i don't see the point of the mask. i know, it's his look in the comics -- and in the comics, i perfer him in the mask. but in the films, it works and it works really well to not put him in a mask. giving him a mask in a movie would probably make him look like Batman. it'd probably be rubber and just look silly. besides, in the film universe, him not having a mask fits his personality and attitude better. he has nothing to hide, he doesn't care if people know who he is.

[Movie_Fan]

I think there is a good possibility that Weapon X aka Logan will wear a mask.Maybe not the same as the comic but some type of mask.The reason being that his creation came about from the funding of the CIA through the organization of Department H in Canada.He was to become a mercenary operative so he would need a mask to conceal his i.d. to his enemy.That would be my only reason to justify wearing a mask...... :ninja:

Umm... no. If this a prequel and therefore a tale about Logan's origins, then we would want to see his actually face, his emotions, his feelings as we go along. Putting a mask on just disconnects the character from the audience. Seeing as it is a film all about Logan, then his face shouldn't really be covered up.

[Savage]

Well...were you able to still connect with Spider-man? This is a Wolverine solo movie. If he were to wear a mask at some point(s) there would still be enough face time.

[TKing]

But we have already grown to know Logan (in the movies) without the mask. Besides, Spiderman has taken his mask off several times in the movies, and the emotional scenes are when he isn't in his mask eg. Train Sequence in Spider-Man 2, or when Harry rips his mask off.

The problem with your statement "Logan's origin" is that it not about his family life he had,it about WEAPON X aka WOLVERINE,though it could show a flashback of his younger years it's really about the creation of WEAPON X.Who funded the project,why it was started and why him?

[Savage]

I personally don't think there's a reason for him to wear a mask in the movie. No-one else in Weapon X wore masks when Wolverine was around and unless I'm confusing Weapon X with Department H (I forgot which came first), Wolverine didn't wear a mask then either...Maverick was the only one who wore a mask...Maybe on this sneaking mission together with Maverick or something.

Exactly. His "origins". How his life as Wolverine started out, when did his life as a black ops member start, how did he become part of Weapon X... that sort of thing.

[WeaponXProject]

I starting to be on the fence with this topic. I want a mask but I only want him to wear it for a minimal time and if it looks silly then discard the damn thing! Logan is more than a mask and he's definitely more than the leather costume he wore in the trilogy. So if the mask is black and matches that damn suit, I know this is a prequel but bare with me Hollywood does some crazy stuff, then they better not use it. You see I'm happy with jeans wearing, wife beater undershirt, dirty dress shirt over the beater wearing Logan. The costume, unlike Batman, Superman and Spiderman, does not make Wolverine or what he represents.

NO NO NO and Hell No

It would just be cheesy..its ok for the comics but whne you incorporate into the real world it just looks silly. Unless you want a silly feel to it?

[WeaponXProject]

It may be silly but its his comic nature and how can you just nix it out for a movie.

In some way or form it could be in the movie, but NO NO NO and Hell No is a little drastic. Let the Holywood queers roll their magic, I'm sure they'll let us see it first to judge anyhow. If its good well see...if not...you may be right. And the fact that the Wolverine mask looks a lot like the Batman mask will be a problem...lets see if they can make it different or not?

Give it a chance.

[Crowforge]

he should wear a mask at some point, it's like they're ashamed that this come out of a comic

[WeaponXProject]

Thank you, they have to give credit to the comic at some point. And guys...the mask ain't all that bad, bubs!

[hunterpred210]

whats the big deal with the damn mask? Even it the comics the mask was stupid

[ryan dube]

if he does get a mask, I think it would be cool if it were made out of an animal's hide, like a tan and black leather combo, something organic.

Something stand alone so that it would not require a matching outfit...

[Crowforge]

I never thought the mask was stupid. It was at least five times better than his hair, which never bothered me either. I seem to remember there being a scene where he could get his hair behave... though only because the book also had jubilee in the shower...

[muscaremy]

not for it in the movie...but if Batman works and isnt silly why would wolvies mask be silly...practically same thing cept wolvies is soft not hard

[WeaponXProject]

not for it in the movie...but if Batman works and isnt silly why would wolvies mask be silly...practically same thing cept wolvies is soft not hard It is similar and that's corny it seems like a copy of it. I also think it may be to wide for the film and if it is thinned in its width then it will look too much like Batty's.

[Savage]

Use the one he has in Astonishing X-men. Doesn't really look like Batman at all. Or check out the concept designs from X-men 1. Looks sleaker and less like it's sticking up in the air...Almost like a regular mask that just happens to have accent marks over the eyes that point out a little towards the back (as opposed to up).

[Mal'Akai]

Or check out the concept designs from X-men 1.
And where could we find it?

[Iceburgeruk]

What if he had to infiltrates an enemy ninja/samurai base at night and thereby we have a mask shaped like the classic mask but very dark as he is trying to blend into the shadows.

That would make sense. And would give us a version of the mask.

[storm-x-fan]

If the Wolverine movie is indeed someway a prequel I believe they should put the frickin' maks on him in some way , shape, or form.

Perhaps in a samurai fight scene.... it would be acceptable.

Anyone agree!?

agree. i want wolvie mask. :woot:

[WeaponXProject]

Yeah it could be in ninja scene but the script has no stuff about his Japanese past so......... but I did think that was a good idea to put the mask in the movie.

[Savage]

And where could we find it?
It's on the DVD (X1. Don't even need the 1.5 DVD to see it). I have no idea where to find it online.

[lilboo]

why would they show a wolvie mask, wolvie didn't have a mask back when he first in the comics, they probrably portray him with his brown jacket and blue jeans outfit

[storm-x-fan]

Wolvie shud have a yellow costume. n mask.

[Savage]

...What are you talking about?:huh:
http://encyclopedia.quickseek.com/images/Hulk181.jpg

I'd like to see the whole mask and costume thing but it's a little late in the game...But this iiis a prequel after all so maybe they can work it in somehow...I think Jackman could make it work. The Astonishing one seems to be the best way to go. No undies. Either that or the one he had in X-men Evolution.

[x-fan]

for those that keep saying he isnt a hero, what goes that cover say about the first and greatest...what it cant be it says superhero wow

[Crowforge]

yeah but it's not hard to be the greatest canadian superhero. I'll still vote for the full costume

[x-fan]

my point wasnt that he was the greatest candian anything it was that marvel called him a superhero, just like batman is a superhero, superman is a superhero. so if they wear their costumes cause they are superheroes, so can wolverine. i biggest arguement for the mask is cameras and jail :P

peace

[DocLathropBrown]

No mask in this film. Because the franchise is already messed up. Bringing in the mask won't do any good now.

Wait until they reboot the franchise and then do the film right. As it stands now, the franchise is X-MINO.

[storm-x-fan]

Well since the x-men trilogy didnt have mask, it does seem weird 2 introduce it in wolvie solo movie. so i guess he'd have 2 do widout the mask.....

[Horhey]

I never understood why he wears a mask in the first place. It has no purpose.

[Savage]

I never understood why he wears a mask in the first place. It has no purpose.
The same reason all the X-men wore masks: To sheild their identities. The X-men DID have secret identities until the new class came in during the 70s (by then people like Nightcrawler are pretty obvious). Nowadays they just have people picketing in front of their gates every day. Probably the only reason it has stopped recently are the giant sentinels on their front lawns.

[storm-x-fan]

well i donno but he looks cool n it, n it gives him kinda a secret identity :whatever: :woot:

[Crowforge]

Superheros use to have secret identities?

[Horhey]

Ive never liked the mask. Logan looks pimp without it. I also dont like his yellow costume. Theres a much better version of it shown in the back of the Secret War TPB. The colors are switched around. The yellow is where the blue is and vice versa. It also doesnt have a mask.

[Kritish]

If it's not broke don't fix it, even though their were some nerds that wanted the X-men to all wear the classic costumes like Scots blue body suit with yellow speedo they films still remained popular. Besides how many women will boycot the film because they can't see Hugh's mugg.

[Savage]

They'd get it when he's not in costume. He doesn't walk around the mansion in it.

Although I like the movie costumes, I must say, I would have been happier with direct translations...It's all part of that fantasy element...I mean they're superheroes. Or that's the image they're trying to convey to the public anyway.

You must be joking. Yellow spandex on the big screen? I can barely put up with it in the comics.

[Cyclops]

At heart, Wolverine's a barroom brawler who just so happens to have superpowers. He's more in his element wearing a flannel shirt and denim jeans.

The costume is basically there to scream "LOOK I'M A SUPERHERO LOOK AT ME" but I don't feel that fits Wolverine's persona too well. I mean, when he's in superhero situations, sure. But during his solo adventures, I'd rather see him go completely in civvies than a costume.

[Savage]

You must be joking. Yellow spandex on the big screen? I can barely put up with it in the comics.
Eh. I think it looks pretty good. Just all depends on how it's done. I don't think about the color, I think about the overall look...Besides, the costumes are to make them seem less threatening to the public. I wish I could get a scan of Cyclops's explaination in Astonishing X-men. They're pretty much supposed to be like any other team like the Fantastic Four and The Avengers. Their reasoning is basicly "Do you see anyone scared of them?".

My reasoning is remove the undies on the outside deal and these costumes would actually look pretty awesome. Like so.

Although I do agree that solo Wolverine would/should never wear a costume. It makes sense when he's on teams like The Avengers and X-men but that's about it. That's their deal and it would seem a bit odd for him to be the one guy in jeans and a t-shirt.

[Cyclops]

Works for Luke Cage.

[Savage]

Touche.

[Mysterio]

Yes to a mask. Especially if they go with Alpha, Beta, Gamma Flight type of thing.
