Playstation Insomniac's Wolverine

This discussion is kind of interesting because, as someone mentioned before, this is a choice that most likely comes from how popular Jackman's Wolverine has become. So Jackman's version of Wolverine seems to be more of an inspiration than the comics.

I particularly dislike conversations like "nobody else can play this character" that we see a lot around Logan and Wade. I think that's the issue when the actor becomes more important than the character. Jackman, by the way, is rumoured to stick around after Secret Wars.

Anyway, Jackman's Logan seem to be a big inspiration to pick from, despite decades of comics. Doesn't help much that the most popular Wolverine game comes also from Jackman.

Just watching I can tell he's not tall but he's clearly not 5'3. But to each their own. Sitting out on the principal of height is definitely a choice, But you gotta live your truth.

The way I see it is this: Insomniac had one job. All I wanted was a new mainstream take on Wolverine with this accurate height, finally showing some representation for short men. Alas, I guess that was just too complicated, too much to ask for.

I agree with @lenz in criticizing Insomniac over the past, for me because I’m never gonna get over the fact that they recast their Spider-Man. I was pleasantly surprised to see the OG’s actor’s face play a cameo in Across the Spider-Verse, but I refuse to spend money on their second and third Spider-Man games because of the recast.

To each their own, I mean you already have your axe to grind with Insomniac even before the trailer dropped, maybe you just aren't in the market to support their work.

I do think we get it in our minds that something has to come out exactly as we imagined it, and if it doesn't it's invalid or immediately less than.

Not saying thats you, but its definitely a thing, especially in fandoms like this.
