Favorite Badass: Jackman's Wolverine or Fassbender's Magneto?

The Batman · 06-04-2011, 12:37 AM

Fassbender. Definetely.

JP · 06-04-2011, 12:38 AM

Fassneto all the way.

Figs · 06-04-2011, 12:41 AM

No contest, Fassbender.

Superhero 101 · 06-04-2011, 12:43 AM

Wolvie all the way!!! He took out a bunch of soldiers all by himself in a mansion and he went on a rampage in the woods in x3

TheWiseGuy487 · 06-04-2011, 12:50 AM

Magbender.

He could've easily downed all those ships if Charles hadn't stopped him.

Yurka · 06-04-2011, 12:49 AM

Fassbender did so much horrific **** in First Class there is absolutely no contest.

Oberon sexton · 06-04-2011, 01:00 AM

Fassbender. Wolverine has never killed anyone with german currency.

mclay18 · 06-04-2011, 01:26 AM

Fassbender's Magneto. I mean, wow, the guy owned the role.

Now imagine what would happen if Jackman's Wolverine met Fassbender's Magneto rather than Ian McKellan's Magneto. Fassbender would slaughter Jackman hand over fist.

They did meet and uh
Jackman -1
Fassbender-0

Fassbender is way more bad ass though but cmon it's magenta. Magneto always been> wolverine.

The Logan cameo aside -- I was referring if the two got into an physical fight. Fassbender wouldn't hold back like McKellan did

illest urban · 06-04-2011, 01:32 AM

Fassbender FTW! Definitely.

Ipodman · 06-04-2011, 01:39 AM

I really wanna say Jackerine... but Fassneto is retro!

Drz · 06-04-2011, 06:18 AM

Fassbender all the way.

kedrell · 06-04-2011, 07:03 AM

Fassbender. He actually embodied Magneto somewhat. Jackman never did that with Wolverine, IMO.

What! Oh please, Jackman owned the role as Wolverine. Extremely close to the comics. The only main difference should or could complain about is the height issue. I know The Wolverine movie wasn't well recieved by fans but that was more history mangling then anything being off with who Logan is personality wise.

Hugh Jackman's Wolverine basically became more and more like Hugh Jackman over time. The closest he got to getting the character was in X1. In X3 he was more of a hybrid of Cyclops and Wolverine. By the Wolverine film the supposedly animalistic killer was making friends all over the place and acting like a really nice guy.

While I kind of agree with you, I blame that on the script and director, not Jackman. He did nail it in X1.

Jackman nailed the character but Fassneto was a bad*** as well. I thought they both are two of the best characters in the franchise so far (actor-wise).

Alexei Belyakov · 06-15-2011, 01:58 PM

Well, this thread pretty much influenced my activities last night. Left the office, went home, watched X2, and then took the wife to see First Class again. This is my fourth viewing.

Fassbender's Magneto is just delicious. The line that resonates with me the most is "I agree with everything you've said - BUT...you killed my mother." The look in his eyes and how he stops walking as soon as he says "BUT"...just perfectly done and sooooo badass.

BUT - The Wolverine still takes the cake. Took some caps to express my reasoning...

Jackman isn't just badass. He's a ****ing animal.

I have to disagree. Even at his most Wolvie-like(X1) I only ever saw him as just adequet. Much like I see Maguire's Spidey or Keaton's Batman. They just never fully embodied those characters. There were just doing good enough work in the roles.

Fassbender owned the Magneto role much more than Jackman ever could with Wolverine.

And the height thing is secondary. Sure, it would have been nice. But I'm just talking about the internal character traits. Jackman was just never quite mean enough to own the Wolverine character. Wasn't Wolverine as a character based on Eastwood's Dirty Harry? Yeah, Jackman fell short. He'd have made a better Dr. Strange, IMO.

I don't share your opinion, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

I love Voltaire, too!

Fassbender's Magneto wins for me. Man, he would tear Jackman's Wolverine apart.

You apparently haven't seen X2.

As for my vote, I LOVED Fassbender's Magneto and would love to see him get nasty again in a sequel. But Jackman's a beast.

Visceral · 06-14-2011, 03:06 PM

Wolverine owned the film with one line. As much as i love both of them I'll take han solo over vader.
