Wolverine.....what a joke!

[ohwattagosiam]

I like Wolverine, but he's being totally over-exposed. It completely screws with continuity. His character is becoming predictable, and he's spending a lot of the time getting his ass whupped. Half the books he's in don't do anything with the character that hasn't been done sooooo many times before. It's boring and frustrating for long time consumers like me, but not for the kids. Marvel need to do things with other characters or bring in new ones to fill this so called "void" that is growing.

I love, always loved, and will always love the ol' canucklehead. I am from Canada myself too, and I don't like Wolverine just becuase he's canadian, I like Wolverine because he's one of the coolest characters ever. I know he's in a lot of books, but if you think about it, not really. He's in his own series, Uncanny, New and sometimes X-Treme. It makes sense to have Logan in the books since he is one of the main X-Men.

roughneck changes his opinion like his underwear anyway.
wolverine is definately in too many books, but he's still a great character when written properly.
he should be in new x-men, wolverine, and occasionally pop up in uncanny x-men.

...not to mention Ultimate X-Men, X-Statix [a few times], and any other current X-book.

I think Wolverine should be given a bit of space for a while, I mean what about Scott and the others.

 

[pat281]

Dude, honestly, what are you talking about? Wolverine is not my favoritre character, but he certainly is one of the most popular characters. SHould he be in every book? no. Does he get too much attention? yes. But is he still a very good character, and among Marvels most popular? yes.
I like the older wolverine though, when he was less of an antihero and more of just a really haggard mutant.

 

[Wo|verine]

put it this way, Wolverine is helping to pay the artists and writers that make your comic book ure reading. He's popular for a reason, what it is its up to the induvidual reader to decide. If you had the rights to Tiger Woods wouldnt u want to put him on everything and anything just to make a buck and make the bottom line all the time, everytime?

 

[Batman23]

Guys put it this way without Wolverine the sells would drop dramatically in Marvel i mean come on who cares about cyclops and the other x-men Wolverine is the main guy who says it all and you watch with this magneto thing that i guarantee Wolverine will put an end to magneto once and for all. Look at Spiderman hes in a lot of comics to just about the same as wolverine and no one talks about him you want to talk about predicatable hell you always know what Spiderman is going to do and Wolverine doesnt do the same thing each time he fights. Its not just kids that like wolverine every age does no matter what whats not great about going and killing people and having wolverine get cut up,shot at anything you can name of and just heal it all off and kill all of them thats what great. If there was no more wolverine i would not read the x-men cause it wouldnt be the same Im not tired of Wolverine one bit never have and never will.

Only because he takes precedence over the other X-Men nearly all of the time. I wouldn't mind if he only starred in his own title, whilst sometimes guest-starring in the team titles. Make the writers have to come up with interesting character development/stories for the other X-Men, instead of writing the same old crap involving an easily written character.

Errrrmmm..... no. He was a few years back, then everyone complained, sales dropped, and he was cut back.

Recently it's been, the X-Team (whichever) go to have a fight, Wolverine rushes off ahead and.... gets his ass kicked. The others join in.

OK, there's a lot more to Wolverine (or any good character for that matter) than just him fighting, killing, maiming, etc. If their wasn't then he would be as dead as a Dodo. Still, he is overexposed and in some of the more recent X-books (especially UCXM) I've bearly taken notice of him being in it. That is not a good thing. I am obviously becoming uninterested in the character.

 

[Doomed_hero]

Wolverine I feel is a very intresting and good character, that marvel is just over using to much. I agree he sould stay in New X-Men and his own title so he doesnt have the power to move out of contiuity.

 

[the defenders]

How about this...also...does GodLovinSpidey still come here? I havent seen him around.

****! I used to be friend with him, and I was actually thinking of him a few days ago, but I couldn't rmemeber his name. I think I had his last conversation with him. It was about farting.


EDIT - Actually, it looks like he came back for a short time after our conversation. Shame I didn't run into him though.

 

[the defenders]

Get him to come back or something...I liked that guy.

 

[captainrogers]

If anything I want to see the definitive Cap vs. Wolvie confrontation.......anything to get my boy Captain America some more exposure.

BTW, has Wolvie ever gone toe to toe with Black Panther??

 

[Kurosawa]

You don't want to see that. They'd make Cap look like crap compared to Wolverine. They already did in an issue of Uncanny set during WW II where they teamed up, and Cap was portrayed as an inept child while Wolverine had to save him 3 or 4 times.

In a fight, they'd have Wolverine destroy and humiliate Cap. It's absurd, but that's what they'd do.

 

[Big Dirty Ogre]

i'm pretty sure cap beat wolvie up before, while wolverine was in a berserker rage.
also, in secret war #2(the new series) cap humiliates wolverine by scolding him on an airplane for acting like a jackass to the stewardess.
things just aren't quite as bad as you think they are, man.

 

[SHELBY_LOWRIE]

wolverine is cool

 

[Bapman]

Funny.......
BUT
I like HUGH JACKMAN's WOLVERINE more than the COMICBOOK Wolvie.
Sure I like Wolvie a lot... enough to call myself his fan.
BUT
I don't like the COMIC Wolverine 'cause of the writers... not 'cause of the character.

I mean here we have a superhealing... martial arts expert... berserk hero with CAWs... n he practically gets beaten up by anyone... n the best moves he ever gave were in the VIDEO games.
Seriously... maybe they should take some of those technical moves from the games n use them.
The 200 YEARS experience HAS to count for SOMETHING !!!

that'd work for me but have him spare the wall crawler willya?

Basically I feel that almost every major Marvel character that has encountered Wolverine has been made to look inferior to him. I think the character has been built up, not on his own merits (of which I feel he has none), but at the expense of other characters. Marvel has either killed every character they had that I liked or changed them so much that I can hardly recognize them. So, as they have cancelled series over they years and started them over, I have just cut the titles.

And Marvel is hardly the best they have ever been. That was in the 60's.

same goes for batman in the inferior thing,hell,he has even beat superman which is a daft thought..
wolverine is one one my favourite characters,he is a kick ass guy,his ultimate incarnation is great,a story with wolverine is generally action packed,interested or just damn good,his interaction with other marvel guys/girls is always great to read.
if you dont like wolvy fine but dont say he IS crap,you may think so but that is only,and only ever will be,your opinion.
I like all dc and marvel people but wolverine is one of the best....roll on a wolverine/batman story that'd be great!!

 

[Bapman]

Like I said...
The character is AWESOME........ its just tht most writers dont make GOOD use of him... n makes even less of WHAT he is.

Good example.... he's like MARVEL's BATMAN...
Just 'cause the writers can't find proper ways to show how GOOD Wolverine / Batman is... they have to bring down the other characters.

Oh well...

They didn't do crap like that with Batman unitl the mid-80's when Miller got ahold of him. For almost 50 years, Batman was treated just like any other hero. And DC was the better for it. But even so, Batman still has taken more lumps. He broke down psychologically, got his back broken and had to be replaced, and then he picked the wrong guy to take his place, until he came back and had the good sense to give the job to Nightwing until he was ready to return.

Wolverine has never been broken down and beaten like that. Not even when Magneto removed his adamantium LACING. And even in that, he gets praised by Magneto: "My most respected foe"...ya, right. In the 70's, Magneto regarded Wolverine as nothing but an animal. Now all of a sudden he's his most respected foe? What's Xavier then??!!???

A Batman/Wolverine crossover? Well, it'd be according to who wrote it, but I don't think Wolverine's worthy of sharing space with a legend like Batman. That's one reason why I'm not keen on the idea of a major Wolverine/Cap crossover...that and as i said before, they'd just make Cap look bad.

And various characters chew Wolverine out all the time for being a jerk or for being reckless. Cyclops used to do it regularly. Cap doing it is no big deal. They do scenes like that to show Wolverine defying authority. It's a big part of his popularity. Never mind that he may get people killed with his supreme arrogance.
