Qoutes from the writer

Wolverine getting his name the way he did in this movie was awful

Well, I'll give you that too. That wasn't exactly a highlight of the film.

 

[Project862006]

i liked how he go the name it was more sentimental

 

[Deaths Head II]

I liked how he got his name too. I thought it was an interesting approach, even if it could have been handled a bit better.

 

[chaseter]

His name isn't meant to be a sweet bed time story And, any sentimental moments attached are lost due to how they handled Silver Fox.

 

[danoyse]

Ahem...let's watch the spoilers, please.

 

[chaseter]

???

 

[danoyse]

I think it's pretty self-explanatory.

 

[chaseter]

They said it was sentimental and I said it wasn't meant to be sweet?

 

[night0205]

I want to see Wolverine get his name by randomly killing hundreds of people with his claws...in a dark forest 0_0...because of Bloodlust!!! And people will be like...wow that guy kills like a frickin Wolverine!!!

They said it was sentimental and I said it wasn't meant to be sweet?

It was directed towards the overall discussion of the workprint. Not your comment.

 

[chaseter]

Woman...you confuse me.

WTF dude no? I want to see Wolverine raised by Wolverines and then out attacking people that get to close to him!

Wolverine gets his name for a reason. If he was a fufu love machine then his name would be Unicorn.

 

[venom892]

Can someone point me towards this script?

Well?

Benioff is holding a Q&A tonight at The Henry Art Gallery (University of Washington) in Seattle, Washington. It costs 45 bucks for those who are interested!

I wonder what he'll make of the final movie because judging by the script review of his earlier drafts they've made lots of alterations.

There's a video (available here) with some clips from the Q&A in which Benioff is quite relaxed and funny.Unfortunately they didn't include any of the Wolverine tidbits except this one in a seperate article.

Who’s afraid of the big bad WOLVERINE?

Fox is huffing and puffing because you, dear movie-lovers, blew the house for X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE. (Pigs!) The studio is convinced that early, pirated downloads of the movie will topple this tentpole as if it were a straw-built shack. Now, I don’t doubt the box office for the fourth film in the mutant franchise may underwhelm, but that may have more to do with its content than its premature leakage. Even credited screenwriter David Benioff sounded doubtful about the movie’s merits when I interviewed him for Words & Wine.

How hard is it to write a good screenplay? I mean, seriously?

 

[Ratcrawler]

The name origin actually wasn't that bad. I mean it had some depth to it. It was one of the things I liked about this movie. The fable fit his character perfectly.

Incidentally, I always thought Sabretooth's name should have been Cougar because in nature, Cougars and Wolverines are hereditary enemies and will fight to the death. Plus it rolls off the togue better and Victor's teeth aren't 7 inches long. Who knows; if that were the case, Cougars might not be synonymous horny older women today.

 

[The Guard]

I kind of prefer the name Wolverine coming from, you know, the nature of wolverines, not the nature of Logan getting "tricked". So now, for all time, he's Wolverine, not because he is feisty, brutal, and short (ok, Jackman makes this one difficult), but because he was tricked. Yeah. That makes sense.

[Ratcrawler]

Yeah, but there are lots of of fearsome clawed animals out there. Moles, COUGARS...Therizinosaurs...

Weaviles...
