The Wolverine (2013)

They could make ten different animated X-men movies for the price that it costs to make one live action movie. I think if studios would take risks on animated movies with top of the line animation or CGI they would easily make big profits. Instead most of the time they make them using generic animation and have childish stories.

I think a weapon X or x-men cartoon with an adult tone would be incredibly successful.

Agreed Jinx.

Animation is the way. Unfortunately Marvel pool their resources into a Japanese company that doesn't understand/respect the medium or companies that focus on the family market no differently than the films do.

TV is the future. TV companies are now realising that adult drama is the future. Regardless of medium. NBC has taken on Hannibal against much backlash yet the show rocks and they are just playing catch-up whilst leading the herd.

Comics entered the adult arena many years ago. And flourished in many examples.

Comicbooks in film seem to be lagging behind, picking up crumbs so to say. But those crumbs are pure gold.

Maybe a stupid thing to get pissed off at but I didn't like

Spoiler:
Wolverine losing his adamantium claws, I was kinda hoping he'd get them back by the end but no such luck so it's wolverine with bone claws now. I always kinda wondered if his adamantium claws got taken off would bone claws grow out of the adamantium and I guess this kinda answered that. Although I didn't know his claws could grow back practically straight away. I did enjoy the scene after the credits, but I want an explanation as to how and why Xavier put his mind into another body which now looks exactly like him and is in a wheelchair...the explanation for that had better be f*cking good

All in all wasn't bad...not the best comic book movie and to be honest I didn't expect it to be, it was better than the first and it was pretty decent...deserves a 6/10 I'd say

Time travel would be the answer. A time traveling mutant would likely be the answer. As for the adamantium, it was treated like sh!t in this movie. No respect but he'll get it back in the movie i'm sure. If not, he's going to be pretty useless against those Sentinels.

You noticed

IMO, if they don't go with the

beta adamantium that can heal itself in time, they'll probably have it where Magneto recoats/reforms his claws.

The first one would already work, since he seemingly healed the hole in his skull with adamantium sometime between Origins and X1.

Pretty much agree with all your original post. Only difference is I had slightly higher expactations than you. The trailers made it look good. Though I shouldn't be suprised as the Origins comic-con trailer looked great too.

I was watching Taken 2 I think it was and I was looking at Famke and I just kept thinking she looked so plastic...she has ruined her looks, she was really hot before

I was thinking that mags could do that, thats what I'm hoping would happen anyways

The problem is X3 screwed up so much that we're really not going to get good explanations for a lot of things. They really should have just completely ignored and erased X3 out of continuity (and Wolverine Origins for that matter), just like Mathew Vaughn seemed to do with First Class.

Regarding him being another body

didn't anyone see that scene after the credits.....as for how that body looks like Xavier "shrugs".

I saw the scene...didn't see it at the cinema but saw it when I was 16 on a flight to New York

I get the feeling we may not even get an explanation on why he looks exactly the same

In the X3 after credit scene the body had Charles Voice at least. So clearly that body morphed into Charles body. Makes perfect sense. Or as good as sense as they can make trying to rectify X3.

It makes no sense why it morphed though...or why he still can't walk

He's projecting his appearence into the minds of others. That way they'll recognize him. That or something else that's stupid

How is it that

Spoiler:
Wolverine lost the metal claws but Magneto is able to stop him from attacking?

I haven't seen the movie yet but i did see a video of the after credit scene. It wasn't great quality

That's a false myth. First Class is part of the same universe as all the other X-men movies (recent).

Because Wolverine still has an adamantium skeleton.

They're making it all fit into the same continuity now. But fact is Vaughn was making a prequel to Singers movies and was pretty much ignoring the other 2. Examples of this are numerous:

When he had Xavier get paralyzed at the end he was completely ignoring that X3 and Origins showed Xavier could still walk at a much older age.

He also ignored that Emma Frost was a teenager in Origins and that Moira should have been a heck of a lot older in X3.

Like I said, it is a false myth. What you refer to is PIS. There are similar issues within the X-Men Trilogy. So does that make those movies part of a different universe? Obviously not.

There is a much much longer list for reasons why First Class matches up with the X-Men Trilogy than not.

Edit - It is a prequel.

So he just lost the claws? Weird. I'll actually watch this movie one day

I can bet all those reasons refer to it matching with X1 & 2. But I don't see anything matching it to X3, only many contradictions. Like I said, Mathew Vaughn wasn't looking at the X Trilogy and Origins when making the movie. He was looking at X1&2.

Not that it matters now, because it's obvious it is all in continuity now. Although DOFP has it's work cut out trying to make that work.

That's different from what you were saying, before. 🙂

But, no, it is part of the same continuity. PIS be damned. They made mistakes.

However, Xavier has gotten the ability to walk and lost it several times. There could be some explanation for why he was walking in the 80s in X-3.

All the other stuff: PIS.

There's actually a longer list than you had. For instance, the cameo for Storm in First Class. She'd be old by the time the X-men Trilogy started. The error on who built Cerebro: was it Hank or was it Charles and Magnus?

See what I mean?

Just a bunch of eff ups. It had nothing to do with X1 and X1 vs. X3. Hollywood just screws up like this.

Bingo.

But they most likely won't care and let the mess-ups stick.
