Oh come on. Canadian bacon? I'll stick to the real deal

Reek likes real American man meat.



Yeah... I said it.

You're a ham.

Wait, I was expecting someone to call peameal bacon "ham". I ****ed this up. I ****ed this up so bad.

Bri... be honest... What do Canadians really think about Wolverine? Is Logan a respected pop culture creation in the land of the ice and snow?

Not really... I think some people in Alberta wanted to raise money to build a statue of him, but I don't think that panned out. In terms of superheroes, we tend to value Superman more, since Shuster was Canadian.

That's interesting. So Logan's not really an embraced "hero" of Canada in your view?

No, I don't think so. It's cool that he's Canadian... so is Deadpool. That's neat. But they didn't get a Canadian Heritage Moment:



These were real things, that aired constantly on Canadian TV. I appreciate the knockoff Williams theme.

Reboot Wolverine as a champion of the Deep South. All that luchador blood running through his veins whilst being such a Real McCoy.

Then...they just randomly say he's a canuck. Only one piece of Canadian edutainment I've seen that's remotely close to that kind of Maple Leafed bumhole and LetterKenny doesn't seem that representative of a significant enough pop.

oh

Spoiler

and LetterKenny is a good show

 

[Perfect Cell]

Letterkenny is a good show. And a terrifyingly accurate portrayal of small-town Ontario.

I kinda figured that Logan would be appreciated as a character that's made a splash world wide, plus he has that history tied into Canada's frontier era. I assumed he'd be really embraced up North.

This seems like a good article on the subject. If only for the picture. Look at the picture. Look how sad he is.

My God... That makes Sad Keanu look like Jim Carrey from the Mask.

 

[2kt09]

Wolverine's 'Canadian origins' are as fictional as his existence; he was created b/c Len Wein's editor thought Wein wrote "great accents," & tasked him with inventing someone who spoke 'Canadian.'

That makes Wolverine a foreign import, not the Canadian 'cultural export' you imagine.

You want to outsource national pride, too, eh? Wake me when Putin honors Colossus

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Seems a bit nitpicky.

 

[Perfect Cell]

Well, it is from a comments section on a newspaper article, after all. Let's just be thankful it's not racist.

Only once he figures out how to make a metal man without all the screaming.

Hmm...

In short, he bears more than a passing resemblance to a hockey player. And, according to Richard Harrison, a poet and professor at Mount Royal University, that is a problem. “The Canadian superhero,” Harrison says, “is the hockey player: an oversized figure in colourful clothes moving at superhuman speeds, capable of great violence within an extended story, and perpetually young.” Instead of a timeless character like Wolverine, Harrison argues, we’ve worshipped a series of Gretzkys, Orrs and Crosbys.

 

[Perfect Cell]

Those aren't really the three players I would pick who are "capable of great violence within an extended story".

Wayne Gretzky, Wolverine... It's like I'm seeing double!

 

[ComicChick]

Both appeared their own cartoon team up shows.

Why would the puck turn into a boomerang? It's already a projectile. And it didn't come back! So why did it need to be a boomerang? I hate this on principle.

You'd be the hero that points out that the boxing glove arrow would be useless in a combat situation.
