[ICXCNIKA]

Fox Kid's (Cathal J. Dodd).

 

[Spidey 2007]

Jackman hands down. in terms of wolverine probably teh classic animated, i dunno, its a tuffy, i still say Jackman. (X1 style)

 

[deathshead2]

agreed.

I'd have to say jackman because the original cartoon Wolverine was basically like the early 70's wolverine. He acted tough and rushed into fights...and then was batted away by the bad guys. Add that to the fact that I don't think the cartoon Wolvie ever killed someone, or rarley did, he's kind of at a disadvantage.

The best interpretation of a superhero is Hugh Jackman's performance as Wolverine. Cathal J. Dodd did an incredible job as the voice of Wolverine.

Both Hugh and Cathal are the best at what they do.

I'd have to disagree with that. I would give that award to Christian Bale...or maybe Hugo Weaving as V, Jackman had a few things going against him beyond his control,

for starters, his tall and lanky frame, and he was a little too much a pretty boy for Wolverine. I would have really prefered someone like Russel Crowe to Wolverine, becaause even though he's tall, at least he was big and bulky. But unfortunatley, I heard Crowe passed over X-men for Gladiator...not a bad move career wise though.

Also, again something not really in Jackman's control, they make his Wolverine a little too nice, especially in the third movie. They basically made him cyclops in that movie, not his fault, but still it's definatley not the best interpretation of Wolverine.

Jackman's the only one to ever actually CUT anybody with those claws, so in my book, he wins.

 

[Neptune]

he will

Best Wolverine voice ever!

It was a Fox Kid's show. Wolverine wasn't allowed to shed human or animal blood, or really even beat anyone up for that matter, much like in X-Men: Evolution. The Fox Kid's show was much darker and more violent, though. But both Wolverines, particularly the Fox Kid's one, were definitely presented as perfectly willing to kill someone. Here are three examples from Fox Kid's Wolverine: 1.) With claws extended, he buried his arm into the Blob's gut. 2.) He gutted Mr. Sinister, but Sinister's body healed immediately. 3.) Wolverine went to impale Nightcrawler, and would have done so, had Nightcrawler not bamphed to saftey, leaving only his monk robe to be pinned against the wall.

All true.

The 90's cartoon Wolverine acted the most like the comics version while still being well-written (as opposed to 'Evolution'), actually knew how to fight (as opposed to the movies) and had a ton of great lines (as apposed to the movies). He may have been on a short leash, but he was still the definition of badass, and I never got that vibe once from the movies, except for perhaps the very first scene in the cage in that dive up in Canada. I couldn't bear to tolerate the childish shenanigans on 'Evolution' long enough to ever see anything about that Wolverine that can compete with the 90's Fox version.

 

[Infinity9999x]

Well guys, my point was, we're going with who would win in a fight, not the best interpretation of Wolverine. I like the 90's toon Wolvie a lot too, but since he was restricted, he never really did get to fight anyone like portrayed in the movie, and his healing system is considerably slower then the Movie Wolvie.

So, I still think in a fight Movie Wolvie wins because he heals quicker and has actually killed people.

If we were having a competition as to which was the best interpretion of Wolverine, then the 90's toon wins hands down.

"Best interpretation of Wolverine" includes being able to fight worth a damn and not counting on fortuitously placed adamantium needle-pumps to win a fight. Like I said, 90's Animated Wolverine can fight, regardless of how much actual violence they let him get away with. If that version was brought to the Movieverse and he was allowed to take off the kid gloves, there's no question in my mind that he'd not only beat Movie!Wolverine, he'd make him look like a pathetic amateur (which he basically is). It would probably be a hilarious, very one-sided fight. A bunch of frantic slashing and feral growling isn't nearly enough to win against the real deal, regardless of whether he looks cool diving off a balcony or not.

The only possible advantage Movie!Wolverine would have over 90's Animated Wolverine would be that Movie!Wolverine might resort to crotch attacks, which his opponent would never do. His superior healing factor barely even counts as an advantage, because again, he can't fight worth a damn in comparison. True, 90's Animated Wolverine would have a hard time making Movie!Wolverine stay down, but he doesn't get tired, and he's still the best there is at what he does, so whether that makes it a stalemate or not, I think it's obvious who's the better fighter. Having a truly invincible Wolverine is just freakin' lame, anyway.

The training toon Wolverine went through is a good point Herr, but one thing that always bugged me about the cartoon was, despite all that training, toon Wolverine always seemed to get the treatment of Wolverine in his early days with the x-men in the comics. He would get pissed off, jump into the fight, get knocked out, and then cyclops would walk in and blast the bad guy away. That would always piss me off, it was like they were using Wolverine as almost a comic relief. I suppose some of that comes from the limitations of it being a kid show, but it still bugged the hell out of me, and lowered my respect for that interpretation (yet I still think it's the best and the most accurate to date. The voice was just perfect)

And I wouldn't discount the movie Wolverine's healing ability too much, he took hits and injuries that would have given the toon Wolverine much more of a problem because his healing ability wasn't as fast. (Which I prefer, because like you said, "super-Wolverine" is just dumb. Healing back from his skeleton? It's getting ridiculous) But even though I dislike his advanced healing ability, I still think it could give him a decisive edge.

So I still think it could be a closer match then you think, because though the cartoon Wolverine did have lots of skilled training, they wrote him many times like he didn't, having him get swatted away by enemies far too easily. But you do have a good point on movie Wolverine's fighting ability, because he really is just a brawler with claws, which pissed me off even more then the cartoon Wolverine being swatted away by the baddies...

But still, I think it would be a tough fight, even just for the fact that it would be hard as hell to get the Movie Wolverine to stay down.
