So which Wolverine are we gonna see? Sympathetic-Cinema Wolverine or Comic Wolvy?

[WeaponXProject]

As much as I respect Hugh Jackman as Wolverine I thought that Logan has been a little too "do the right thing" and fatherly leader type by X3. I am wondering which one Gavin Hood put in the movie. What do you think?

Just watch the trailer. "We didn't sign up for this! me me me me me wa wa wa wa boo hoo". It will be a mixture of kickass/troubled/sad panda.

Yeah, I'm a huge fan of Wolverine and Hugh Jackman but I don't like the way they make Wolverine act. That's one of the scenes that jumps out of my mind when I wanted to make this thread.

Since this is before him joining the X-Men, hopefully they will show a different side of Wolverine. His interactions and experiences with the team changed him, so now we gotta see what he was like before all of that. Before the amnesia, and other stuff.

 

[cryptic name]

it will probably be varied. from the looks of it though, wolverine will have some badass moments.
"i'm gonna cut yer goddamn head off, see if that works."

I hope we see more of the Wolverine in the bar at the beginning of X1 (and I don't just mean the shirtless part ) , less of the version that settled down a bit once he'd joined the X-Men.

 

[WeaponXProject]

I hope all you guys are right because I don't like X-3 Wolverine at all.

 

[DMRadz]

Wolverine in X3 was a joke.

 

[cosmicherosa]

X2 Wolverine was the best.....until he bear hugged Cyclops and was crying at the end. THAT was very very bad.

 

[DMRadz]

HAHA that's right he did. What were they thinking?

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Wolverine in X3 was a joke.

Agreed.

But I hope in this he is a bit more ruthless and heartless than he was in all 3 X-movies to be honest.

 

[DMRadz]

I think everyone hopes that.

 

[not_a_victim]

He had only mellowed by X3 from being around people ( and kids) that finally accepted him. He didn't have to be "on guard" all the time.
This of, course, will be well before the events of the first X-Men movie, so we shouldn't see much of that im him, unless it really just kicked in after the Weapon-X program go ahold of him and drove him to be like that.

I agree with you. By X-3 he had grown as person, which is kind of lame, and was like the fatherly figure with Charles, Jean and Scott dead. They moved the series too fast in one movie.

I am sure he will be more lethal and a loner a-hole in this one.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Hopefully the latter.

Interesting. The implication seems to be that there's no room for the emotional Wolverine...or that the comic book version of the character does not possess these elements.

Have you all never read a comic book prior to the year 2000?

You'll see both, though. The animal and the man.

 

[Abstract]

I'd like to see comic book Wolverine. That is, the wolverine tortured by his past and his misdeeds over the years, haunted by the question mark that hangs over his life who still has the ability to kick ass with both his feet on the ground.

 

[Ziggyman]

Comic Wolvy can be pretty sympathetic too! Just as much as in the films...But I just wanna see some hardcore badass beserker rage scenes because we got absolutely none in the movies...Only Mansion and Deathstrike fight come close...Otherwise, nadda!

...We'll probably get a lot of both...But from the looks of it...It will be a lot of stylized not-as-badass-as-it-should-be fighting and action sequences...Hope I'm wrong though!

 

[Therefore I Am]

From the mouth of Hugh Jackman at comic-con when he came and surpirsed everyone. he spoke for a bit before showing the trailer. One of the things he mentioned was wolverine being very very angry, and a lot more aggressive due to the circumstances he's in. If you ask me, Jackman and the writers got Wolverines character down pretty well. In the comics, he mostly has inner monoloug on every page, so it gets very personal. He never talks out loud about his past and stuff, nor is he a heartless guy. Without him talking to himself in the movie, theres little to go by if you really think about it, and what they did go with Jackman got it down good.

He was haunted by his past in the first and second, then had closure at the end of that movie, finding out what he was. He went into semi bezerker mode in the mansion, which i think most will agree was the coolest scene in the movie. Note; wolvie only really goes into berzerker mode when hes pushed waaaaay over the limit, or when his feral side would take hold after his adamantium got removed. Some phony military dudes with traquilizers is not gonna push him very far.

With him being a father type, or too sympathetic. I'm sorry but that is part of who he is. In X3, he has no reason to be haunted by his past so much, he has a stable life, and people who care about him, he doesnt have a reason to be pissed off, which i think is one of the biggest missconceptions about wolverine. When there's something to be pissed at, He's pissed. When there isn't, he's a laid back guy who pokes fun at people.

To me, Jackman has gotten wolverine down perfectly so far. If the trailer and what he said from his own mouth as well as the producers and writers are any indication, we will see a more brutal, feral, and pissed off wolverine then that in the Xmen films. But expect to see him sob a bit too (silverfox.) Then go crazy with RAGE when she dies... i hope thats not spoiling it, but i mean...we pretty much know how she ends up or is supposed to anyway.

Anyways, thats my two cents. hope it gives some of you a new perspective. Or atleast something to look forward to if you wernt aware.

Actually its the opposite, I haven't read many comics since 2000 except Wolverine Origins.

I've been reading them since I was 4 and I own almost all the of Wolverine's individual comic books but I still think in the movies, especially the second and third we get a Wolverine who's very supportive of his peers and not enough grit to his swagger. He needs to be more of a loner. Show his inner struggle more. I like the conviction Jackman shows but the crying just gets annoying. I wanna see the rage, the feral rage.

 

[The Guard]

We've seen the feral rage. And Wolverine's hardly always been a true loner. Even in the comics. I'm sure we'll see elements of those things in WOLVERINE, though.

When did we see the rage? Not when he fought Sabretooth, not when he got his a$$ beat by Yoriko and the only thing close was in the manshion in X-2 but he was responding to everyone and using tactics. Definitely not in X-3, in the woods he used military tactics when he jumped out of the tree and snuck up on the guards. I interpret the feral rage as animal out of control.

He has always been a loner, the other X-Men would come to him when was at the manshion and it would always end with him walking away or shunning them, except Jean, Nightcrawler or the Professor. The others would try to help him understand himself when he didn't even know who he is.

What is a "true loner"? An emo kid.

Hopefully we'll get to see the getting-his-ass-handed-to-him-by-Deadpool-and-Gambit Wolverine.

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, going to happen. Unfortunately.

 

[swifty]

I don't know why but I have bad feeling that the movie is going to be crap......hope not!
