The Wolverine Tao Okamoto/Mariko Yashida Thread

[Great Mind(s)]

Mariko was so beautiful. For some reason I fooled myself into thinking she was going to betray him Talia style...glad to see that didn't happen. I'm over the Jean/Logan thing, if I ever was into it. I think this movie was a send off not of Jean herself, but of their "romance". I think Logan and Mariko have good chemistry.

If Mariko had done that, there would have been a bigger firestorm on the internet thn the Mandarin twist. At least the Mandarin was always a bad guy, Mariko is not.

 

[Great Mind(s)]

Yeah I know. I think I misread a spoiler somewhere... she was great. <3 her

 

[psylockolussus]

X-23 is NOTHING like Logan.

Yeah but she has claws that look very similar to Wolverine.

 

[Paladin-Hoss]

Who should we cast as X-23?

Obviously Summer Glau is getting abiot too old to play her, and she's been cast in that kind of role abit too often now

And Daken..who should play him?

 

[Specter313]

How about we talk about that somewhere else like the Wolverine 3 thread in the Sequels and Spin-offs section so it doesn't take over Mariko's thread?

 

[Paladin-Hoss]

There's not much else to talk about in this thread

 

[Specter313]

It's Mariko's thread. Talk about her. Take talk about casting characters in a sequel to a thread about that.

 

[Paladin-Hoss]

Well..what else do you wanna say about her?

Let's we've already established that she's very attractive, and damn good for a first timer...about 100 times now

 

[Great Mind(s)]

Well as I watched the movie I wondered how many roles she may get after...

 

[Paladin-Hoss]

Probably Japanese movies...

 

[BlackFox]

Where should Mariko turn up next? What role could she take up if any in DoFP, surely her relationship with Logan wont be just dropped.

she's asian so probably not much as sad as that sounds

I am now a 'shipper' of film Logan/Mariko...they did a good job and must continue in some form. I feel like this movie purposely ended Jean/Logan for not only both the characters but for the audience as well. So that he can be with Mariko and so that when **** gets fixed, Jean will be with Cyclops.

I wouldn't mind in the future of DOFP we see Daken

 

[Paladin-Hoss]

I'm almost affraid to ask...

But what is a 'shipper'?

she's asian so probably not much as sad as that sounds

Well, maybe not in the west, but i'm bettin' she'll get plenty of offers in Ja[an after all is said and done. She and Yukio both

 

[Gianakin_]

'shipper is someone who supports a certain in-universe romantic relationship, on TV or cinema.

 

[Loki882]

She may become like Ken Watanabe, appearing in many Japanese films and getting noticeable US roles from time to time.

 

[Hunter Rider]

She was so lovely a perfect mix of strength and gentleness. The part of the movie with Mariko and Logan in the little fishing village really was perfect in developing their dynamic IMO.

[SAUspartan]

This girl was stunning in the movie.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Tao Okamoto was stunning in this, one of the most stunning asian girls I have ever seen, and her acting was superb for a first timer.
