WOLVERINE!!!!!

[telophase]

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.

I'm writing up my Sabretooth rant right now. XD I didn't really meet Boom Boom before that story arc, so the bizarre little relationship between them was actually kind of interesting to me - her not being sure if he means what he says or if he's just playing her. And it would have been WAY MORE INTERESTING had they actually gone with that and made him kind of meaning it, instead of TOTALLY PLAYING HER.

Because when someone VOLUNTARILY COMMITS HIMSELF TO CUSTODY he is, naturally, going to break out as soon as he gets a chance to grab a hostage. ARG.
