Comics I'm getting tired of Wolverine.

[FireandIce213]

Can someone do me a favor and post pics of "sex symbol" Wolverine in the comics so we can compare them to the ones that are already posted in the thread please?

 

[Dr. Fate]

Agreed. How tall is Jackman, anyway? I don't think "runt" would be an appropriately insulting nickname for movie Wolverine.

Internet Movie Database says that Hugh Jackman stands 6'2 1/2" in height, or 1.89 meters. Wolverine in the comics was originally 5'3". So Jackman's like roughly a foot taller than Wolverine; hell he's more in line with Cyclops comic book size than James Marsden is (heard they had to put Marsden on boxes and put lifts in his boots).

Geez. Don't get me wrong, I liked Jackman as Wolverine, but they could only have chosen him to pretty up the character. He wasn't feral, vicious, gruff, or even short! Oh well...

These things happen. It's almost like the reverse of the Michael Keaton as Batman casting.

Lol, quite so. I like how you think.

 

[cushe83]

I lost all respect for jackman when I saw him prancing around in a boy from oz. Maybe I should be able to differeniate the character from the actor but, that dont sit well with me. That really pisses me off, for all the reasons I already saw mentioned and the so un-tuff image of Jackman wearing sparkley spandex displaying jazz hands, grinning from ear to ear.

He ruined the role.

 

[Dr. Fate]

Thank you.

Mad question - what would have happened if Jackman been cast as Cyclops instead of Wolverine?

 

[Cyclops]

Then Jackman would not have become the big celebrity he is now.

 

[danielisthor]

I'm annoyed that comic-verse Wolverine seems to have turned into the Multiple Man--HE'S FREAKIN' EVERYWHERE!!!!!

So is Spiderman, Batman and Superman. Get over it.

 

[Boba_Fett_123]

Thank you.

There would actually have been chemistry between Scott and Jean. And X-Men 3 would've been exactly the same.

 

[Arach Knight]

Spider-Man maybe, but Batman and Superman are only on one team...the Justice League. (Okay so Batman also used to have the Outsiders). But Wolverine is on two different X-Men teams as well as being an Avenger, not to mention he has something like three books out right now. I believe Wolverine has the distinction of having belonged to the most teams, of any comic book character, ever created...including Avengers, X-Men, Weapon X, Alpha Flight etc etc.

Currently speaking, Wolverine is only a member of 1 X-Team, that being Astonishing and a member of Avengers and has 2 monthly comics and any quest shot on other books, and we won't count any Ultimate crap. The other 3 have multiple singles titles (more than the 2 that Wolvy has) plus they're team books and all their guest shots. So, there is no difference between Logan and the other 3 Biggie of Comicdom. They are either all over exposed or not at all.

I agree that Jackman would not have become as well known as he has become. Actually, has he been in any other decent movies? I cannot for the life of me recall at the moment...

Havent seen it yet but I heard The Prestige was pretty good.

 

[Mad Bull]

Oh yeah, I forgot! Well, that appears to have potential. I have to wait and see for myself, though.

 

[Dr. Fate]

I was also thinking of seeing "The Prestige".

 

[kguillou]

I personally have been tired of wolverine since the " Enemy of the State" storyline. Everyone remember that story? The body count was RIDICULOUS, wolvie killed soo many people, many of them innocent. I know it wasnt his fault, but they really abused his character, i mean he single handedly killed thousands of people by the time the story was over... They're definityl overusing and abusing wolvie. Then there's his healing factor, god dont get me started on that...

Yea but Wolverine is NEVER drawn like hes 5'3. More like 5'8.

 

[Cyclops]

I don't think alot of artists understand just how tiny 5'3" really is. It's just incredibly short. He'd barely make it to chest-level with most men of average height.

 

[Snikt 6]

Wolverine is the best at what he does......that's why he is everywhere. Although many writers don't seem to always capture the true character of Logan, he is a very interesting, tourtured man. There are so many elements of his character that make him cool - his past, his mutant abilities, interaction with other characters, good vs. evil, etc. The problem that I have is that he is apart of the Avengers......??? I would prefer them to keep Logan in the X-titles, having him run around and protect the Avengers is just, well, lame. Are there no other good non-mutant/Avenger-type characters available to put in the Avengers that they have to use Logan? I like how the set up is now in the X-titles, he is a member of the Astonishing team, and just happens to show up in the other X-books time to time, hey, it works.

 

[Nature's Rising]

Yeah, I don't like him prancing around Avengers too. Let any other hero do that. At least they could develop some of the characters...like I don't know, Sentry. Because it seems to me that when Wolvie is around one title, all the attention shifts to him, which is uncool and pretty much annoying. But he bodes well with X-Men...but Avengers...too political for me.

 

[Snikt 6]

Great point - and I fear it is all a little to political. Wolverine is such a great character, and I know he is kinda the "cash cow" for Marvel but putting him in the Avengers where he outshines the others just does not sit well with me. He is an X-Man....so I hope that is where they keep him. I don't keep up with the Avengers, but does anyone know if Wolverine is still apart of that team? I know because of the craziness that is Civil War that some of the teams are being shuffled. Be nice to get him outta there sooner rather than later.

 

[Dr. Fate]

Or most women of average height, for that matter. He'd look like a dwarf standing next to the 5'11" Famke Janssen.

 

[Goddessreicho]

Famke is 5' 11" but Jean is only 5' 6". Technically she's Halle's height. Where as Ororo is Famke's height.

So they got that all backwards. But I hate it how Wolverine is randomly getting taller outside of 616 too, ugg and better looking too.

Ultimate Wolverine started out as 5'6" and is now 5'9". That's worlds away from the short hairy ugly mug he's was orginally. Not to mention that he's never drawn as hairy in any book. Thanks Hugh....booooo.

 

[Cyclops]

Reicho... Ultimate Wolverine started at 6'1" and started slowly getting SMALLER.
