WOLVERINE!!!!!
Just came back from Wolverine, and I had a very enjoyable time. The movie was exactly what I expected, and I expected Wolverine's ass. I did not expect great scriptwriting, involving plot, great acting, or much of anything else.
The plot was, of course, Yet Another Marvel Retcon, but as the X-movieverse is a retcon of the comicverse, that's not surprising. And a trawl through Amazon.com to see what Weapon X stuff there is produced an approximate 2497358923749374 versions of Weapon X, Wolverine: Origis, and so on.
Color me so surprised. *rolls eyes*
I quit reading the X-books about the point where Magneto pulled the adamantium out of Wolverine's bones* (and started reading them about the time the first Weapon X storyline started) - anyone out there know how many different versions of his origin there currently are?
* Spurred, actually, by stupid writing involving Sabretooth, of all people. He's my favorite evil villain, because I showed up in the X-verse right when they were doing interesting things with his character, and then someone screwed it all up again, completely reversing all the character-building they'd done, I got disgusted, and I left. If anyone actually wants me to rant about that, let me know.

Of course I haven't read the comics consistently for ages, not since they wrote out Cecilia Reyes, the most kick-arse doctor/ reluctant super-hero ever! I did notice a year or two back that they seemed to be making the characters more like the movie ones though, which I thought was a shame for Mystique because she was already cool before she became all naked and bumpy.
Then again I can rant about how often they screw up things in the Marvel universe, then use it to generate more money by having Earth Rest 700, until the sun dies, but I won't :)
