State your opinion a character

[random_havoc]

I love the character. The comics go up and down depending creators working on them. Not digging the waid run like everyone else because it seems like too much of a whiplash back to the everything's hunky dory after all he went through. I'm glad for a bit lighter tone but think they should've gone more gradual. I also happen to hate the artwork on it. Hated his art on Spidey, still hate it now (looks like it's straight outta the 60's, and I don't mean that in a good way).

the ONLY scene in the movie that was any good was the bar scene. That was a perfect daredevil. The rest of the movie was a travesty. Hopefully the rumored remake will get going soon and will be better (couldn't be much worse).

 

[The Question]

Hang on, why are people saying Daredevil's poor? He's a successful lawyer in Manhattan. I don't know what world you guys are living in, but that in no way equates to being poor.

He works at a very small firm with only one other lawyer there, he works a good number of his cases for free, and it's pretty clear that most of his money goes to rent for his fairly huge apartment and food. He's not really poor, but I doubt he has any disposable income.

More to the point, his crime fighting budget is next to nothing.

I can't speak for what's gone on before, but he says himself that he's rich in one of Waid's recent issues. I think it's more apt to say that his crimefighting style just doesn't rely on expensive gadgets and such the way Batman's does. Daredevil doesn't spend a lot of time analyzing things or accumulating weapons and tech or setting up defenses for an entire city. He uses his martial arts training, powers, and a trick billy club to stop street crime in one section of New York 99% of the time. That doesn't require much in the way of a budget, as Spider-Man and other genuinely poor heroes have shown.

He is rich. When, you know, the girlfriend that sold his secret ID for heroin died? She left him a s**t load of money. Or something like that.

He's a millionaire. But he ain't Bruce Wayne rich. He's, lotto rich.

Karen Page?

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, that's her.

She made a ton of money off a book and as a Syndicated Talk Show host after that whole porn/Smack Addict thing.

 

[Anubis]

Well, that's it for blind awesome.

Spoiler

Can you believe that D-Man's funky, homeless dude balls are now filling out this costume?

Wolverine

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I like him more now than I did a few years ago, and I think X-Force is to blame

 

[KingMob]

I like Wolverine. Not necessarily the cash cow he has become, but the samurai-warrior bad*** with a long, mysterious past. I mean, he's this short dude, who could mess most people up. And seriously, he has knives coming out of his hands, and thats pretty awesome. He shouldn't be on the Avengers, though, or he would be a better fit on the Secret Avengers. I think the character get a lot of undue flack because Marvel ****es the character out.

 

[chiefchirpa]

Daredevil and Wolverine are awesome.

 

[PaleRider]

those first issues of Wolvies ongoing from the 80s are some of my favorite comics. I loved him as Patch. Lately I have lost interest in him, I have how having an advanced healing factor makes him an immortal who can't feel pain.

 

[Kitsune]

Wolverine was cool when he'd take damage but get over it. Now he's so overpowered he's almost as boring as the Superman

 

[Max J Power]

I like Wolverine a lot, because writers like Barry Windsor-Smith, Greg Rucka, and Jason Aaron explore the conflict between his place as a hero and his nature as a killer. I also like Wolverine as an X-Men team member; he can be an interesting counterpoint to the more upstanding (or less upstanding, like Cyclops) characters.

But there are downsides. He's used gratuitously on teams where it's clear he's only there because he's popular, and writers that don't have a good handle on the character either make him out to be too much of a hero or make him a generic killing machine.

 

[E-Man]

Once upon a time I was a big fan, but I'm sick of seeing his ass all the damn time. His anime was decent, but I stopped watching 5 episodes in because I'm way past giving a damn about Wolverine.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

A once great character who's now f***ing awful. People tell me there's good stuff with him out there, but I honestly just don't give a s*** enough to sort through all the terrible stuff where he's a one-dimensional killing machine to find it. The image Marvel puts forth of him now is a pathetic shadow of his formerly complex and intriguing self; they're actually content to have people view him as an idiot who just kills everything in sight because that version of the character sells. Never mind the conflicted man who yearned for the honorable existence of a samurai but couldn't quite get past his animalistic urges--that's clearly too boring for the bloodthirsty masses.

 

[runawayboulder]

The easiest way to fix Wolverine is:

1. Take him off the Avengers

2. Take him off the X-Men

3. Give him amnesia.

Stick with that and everything else will be cream cheese....

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Really, they just need to have him do something truly horrible that makes him recommit himself to fighting his savage nature and then--and this is the key part--commit all of the writers handling Wolverine to writing him that way. It's all well and good for Jason Aaron to be doing great work with him over in one comic, but that doesn't fix the underlying problem of Marvel marketing Wolverine as a vicious killer and nothing else in his 4 or 5 other comics every month. He's practically frothing at the mouth to murder children in Avengers: The Children's Crusade right now.

 

[E-Man]

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. I say they kill Wolverine and keep him dead for 10 years. Kill off X-23 and Daken for good. Fans have enough Logan to get them by until then so **** em.

 

[KingMob]

I kind of agree, except a decade seems like a long time. They did it for a few years with Thor, and that seemed to work.

 

[random_havoc]

No no no no no no. They already have enough stupid deaths and resurrections just a year later. They can fix him without resorting to another dose of that stupidity.

I still very much enjoy the character though even as is. The only thing I really have hated was that they added in the stupid bone claw thing as part of his origin... actually his whole origin story (especially "romulus") was pretty lame.

But the WORST part was that absolutely terrible Origins movie. People should be punished for that piece of garbage.

 

[SuperFerret]

Once a good character, now a bad caricature.

 

[runawayboulder]

Thinking that killing a character will fix him/her is exactly one of the reasons with what's wrong with comics today.

 

[Hound55]

I agree... They need to start killing off some of these writers...

 

[Anubis]

I agree with pretty much everybody. He used to be cool, but years of pandering to the lowest common denominator has damaged the character.

Moving on.....

If wolverine s**ts in the woods, does he even bother to wipe?

Mr. Fantastic

I wish I had his powers. Don't ask me why.
