Why do you hate Wolveirne?

[GNR]

I like the character.

Lots of overexposure,but Marvel's done a good job at fixing that as of late.

I think wolverine is friggin awesome...just don't like all the attention he's getting

Heh, this is a point I always get a good laugh out of. When you've got a character you love and he's not getting any spotlight, you want him to have it. When you've got a popular character that you like and he's taken Main Stage, you wish he wasn't getting quite so much. Just as I said, people dislike popularity. They like the character, the ideal of the attention they'd draw but don't want the baggage that comes along with THAT level of popularity.

It's an enigma wrapped in a riddle covered in frosting.

 

[Elijya]

Not necessarily. Batman, Superman and Spider-Man are all immensely poopluar and have more exposure then Wolverine, but I can understand them. Those characters have incredible mass appeal, not to mention very deep symbolism.

Wolverine just seems to get by on "cool factor" alone

 

[Zeu]

Personally, it´s not a matter of overexposure, he could be in 10 books and I couldn´t care less.
it´s the fact that it´s all about him.

The guy hogs the show, even the film, it should be called Wolverine and his friends instead of X-Men.

And then you have him going against the likes of Hulk and surviving...
WTF?
He´s just peak human!
One punch from a class 100 brick and he should be in a coma between life and death for the next 6-12 hours, with his healing factor working overtime.

 

[Ben Urich]

I like Wolverine okay, but yeah, he's really overexposed. I think Eli says it best:

I love Wolverine when he's written by Whedon. In other contexts...I guess he just comes off as a thug. Ooh I'm so cool, I stab people! I smoke cigars! Ooh!

 

[Kurosawa]

The biggest reason why I hate Wolverine-and I do hate the character-is that he is too often built up at the expense of other characters. If he's encountered a male Marvel character, he's been made to look superior to that character in some way or another. And of course all the female characters want him or have already had him.

 

[Ben Urich]

I love Wolverine when he's written by Whedon.

"I really like beer." up:

 

[Langoth]

I've never really been a huge Wolverine fan, at least, not since I was much younger. Wolverine to me seems to get written badly. A lot.

There is only so much bad writing I can take before I start going "You know? That character pisses me off, because of all the bad writing, he now has baggage."

Happened to other characters I liked. Hobgoblin, until they fixed him, is one. Or the Scarlet Spider (aka, the Clone *****ebag Spider-Man). There gets to be a point for me whne I say "He's been written up, and written down, and ****ed out and written badly for so long, that I no longer like the character."

I don't hate Wolverine, but I certainly don't like him anymore, whenever he shows up in a book I just get a feeling of "Ugh, what are the writers going to have our overexposed Canadian do THIS time?"

 

[Kotagg]

"I really like beer."

You know what, I just realized myself that I actually also like Wolverine when Whedon writes him. I actually strongly dislike him anywhere else.

That line was one of the best things I've ever seen in a comic.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm with those who hate him for his ridiculously exaggerated powers. Overexposure is nothing new--Batman has it just as bad as Wolverine, but he still manages to entertain me no matter how often he appears. I liked Wolverine as a character because, back when he was first gaining popularity, he really was a good character. He had the bad attitude like most other "edgy" anti-heroes of the '80s (though he beat the curve by almost a decade), but he was also a really compelling character.

There were three things I loved about Wolverine: 1) the scrappy underdog aspect, 2) the man out of time because he lost his past, and 3) the would-be samurai constantly struggling to cage the savage beast inside himself. Gradually, however, Marvel has stripped away those elements. First went the underdog aspect when his healing factor gained power to the point that he can be blown up, shot full of holes, have his face torn off, lose a significant portion of body mass, etc. and still keep fighting like nothing's wrong. A character who's an invincible tank going up against the likes of street thugs and ninjas does not an interesting conflict make. Next went the struggle between discipline and savagery when he just started giving into his savage side, killing people without remorse and happily ditching his years of training to fight like a drunken brawler while leaning on the aforementioned exaggerated healing factor. All Marvel's got left now is the man of mystery aspect, which they're exploring by finally giving Wolverine his memories back. Unfortunately, that's tainted by everything else the character's already lost. I appreciate that Marvel's exploring Wolverine's past with Origins, but I can't get invested in any kind of Wolverine story anymore to see how it goes because his character's just not interesting on other levels.

 

[kiuju2k]

i don't like how hes represented. He seems like a threat to everybody even powerful energy manipulators. Also his attitude I don't like. I don't think hes strong enough to be that cocky. Shouldn't he have some kind of grey hair now? A little? Way i see it that writer makes wolverine, wolverine. Lately i'm not seeing it.

 

[The Cleric]

well, i have to be honest and admit that i hate the wolverine. At first, i thought he was cool and a bad ass, and i have always love the fact that he didn't need projectiles like most of the Xmen. But over time, i got pretty sick and tired of hearing about his weapon X, or other animal experiments done on him. instead of thinking that he was a bad ass, he became the guy that IN EVERY ISSUE HE APPEARED, he was meant to look cooler annd cooler in a fake bad ass way. Add all of his girlfriends getting whacked, and now this ORIGINS comic, and i honestly cant understand how people can still like him.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

How?

Wolverine #1-100.

'Nuff said.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Statistically I suppose someone must.

 

[citizenpain]

despite his blatant overexposure, i am still a fan of wolverine. as a character he's absolutely awesome, but it's just that certain writers have watered down his appeal.

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

Marvel has really degraded the character,exploting him for profit.He doesnt need a origin,he is shadowy,he is mystery.That`s who Logan is.

 

[Furthermore]

Love the character. He used to be my favorite but he really is overexposed and poorly written.

 

[spartin2008]

I agree with almost everyone hear, and i know you all will think im crazy but in the cartoon, Spider-man and his amazing friends, when they team up with the X-men, is when he was the best as a character who actualy did stuff as a team and wasent all gung ho about EVERYTHING...let the scolding begin.

 

[foxx5]

He's also in Ultimate X-Men and Wolverine: Origins is crap.

To cut down on Wolverine's overexposure Marvel should get cancel of Wolverine: Origins and cut him from New Avengers. Then give a few other X-Men solo books such as Nightcrawler, Cyclops, or someone for christ sakes

they gave nightcrawler I think two attemps at a series and they gave cyclops a try too, but neither had the fans back it, they failed.

Ultimate line of comics dont exist in my mind, plus am talking about the 616 Wolverine.

 

[foxx5]

ok, I like the comments, it look like

13 hate that he is over exposed
7 hate the way he is written
3 of you said that you hate his exaggerated powers

but I thing only 2 or 3 people said they actully hate Wolverine, most people think that Wolverine should be in his solo series an at least 1 x-men comic and thats it. I feel they should drop him from new avengers and keep him in astonishing and also jeep both solo titles. The problem is that Wolverine has such a following that everytime they put him in a comic the book sells better and until that stops, Marvel will keep ****eing him out. I'm glad I found out that Wolverine wasn't hated.

 

[Cyclops]

Those were mini-series and were never intended to be long-running. The fans backed them very well. But all along they were four-issue limited series.

 

[foxx5]

I would like to see the number of sales because my LCS says they didn't sell much of those titles when they had them...

 

[Cyclops]

And my local comicbook store didn't sell much of alot of books that were high-sellers across the board.

Fact of the matter is, the Icons miniseries imprint wouldn't have published as many as they did were the fans not supporting them.
