Hey everybody! All in all, bone claws, Sabretooth’s lil bro, Aquaman’s Grand daddy, this film looks like it is going to kick ass! Be there May 1st!

i think the movie has a lot of good stuff in it, but it’s hard to tell with the commercials bombarding us with so much action and characters. i understand that’s what a majority populace wants to see, but it could ruin a movie if the story doesn’t follow (duh right?), anyways I don’t mind change as along as it makes sense. I am rooting for this to be a good flick.

@ gary

did you also know that logan was supposed to be a teenager? also, he didn’t have, the now iconic, funky hair?
but they changed their minds and well that’s that.

I also wanted to add that I am not one of those that insists the movies follow the comics every time.
in the comics ,
Bruce Wayne wasnt trained by Ras Al Ghul,
But I LOVED Batman Begins And I also was a fan Of Nolans totally original take on The Joker in The Dark Knight.

But the whole reason for the film is for everyone to know his origin. X1 kept us wondering, and they did a good job, i agree with you there. The whole flashbacks, and that line you mentioned. But now its time for us to know and i cant wait to see how it all turns out.

Oh and by the way,
the original title of the film was Wolverine.
It was changed Later.

Oscar, my last couple of posts were really about my feelings about the character and not the film but
I understand that even though Logans creator says that he wasnt originally intended to have Bone Claws that they are now nonetheless a generally accepted part of his history .
But I hope they dont tell us all the secrets ,
in the film or the comic.

Dont forget the title of the film “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” you want an origin story without his origin in it???

See, now its getting annoying. People complain that some movies dont follow the comics, and now that they are following the story people still complain. The bone claws are part of his history, why take it out? I dont want mystery,i want his story told.

Leave some MYSTERY to Logans past.
Thats part of why we originally liked him because we didnt know everything.
I think the original X- Men fim handled it just right .
A few myserious flashbacks About Weapon X ,X-Rays of the his Adamantium Skeleton,The revelation of his healing Factor and the classic line
“He May even be older then you Professor”.

Sorry about the errors in my previous post.
To continue ,I just think they went a little overboard with the idea of Logan as feral creature.
I dont like what they are doing with his backstory now .
2010 stank as a film because they gave us all the answers from 2001.
Why cant cant Logan just be a mutant with feral senses and a healing factor who was coercerced into Government service with some mysteries in his past ?
Answer some of the myseties some of the time, but dont tell us EVERYTHING!
Leave some of it to our imagination .

High Kalibur,
I see the bone claws as as an editorial mandate
once Logan lost his Adamantium .
They look kind of cool .
Tt would have been intersting to see them in a poster,
But they are not very practical.

@ Gary

Awesome! Good work!

I don’t really like the bone claws myself. What about you?

@ Daniel F

You are almost disagreeing to say the same thing.

Until the 90′s – bone claws were not even an idea yet and therefore, originally, he did not have claws before Weapon X. In the continued additions form the myriad of writers at Marvel to the characters back story, he is said to have had them all along.

So for the crowd that didn’t follow the continuity through the 90′s up until present, it is very understandable that they don’t remember anything about bone claws and were under the impression that they were received from the Weapon X program. Because, at that point, they were.

I tracked down an old Fanboy Radio interview from 2006
with Wolverine creator Len Wein.
Not only did Logan not have bone claws when he was originally concieved ,
but his creator DISAGREES with the concept of the bone claws.
so,
good job High Kalibur!
You were right on the money!

High Kalibur not sure what your talking about. No not everyone is right. You can’t say that none of this was originally his back story simply because originally he had no back story. Go back to the comics he was always mysterious we never knew that much about him that was the point. You can’t say he never had bone claws in the 70′s comic’s simply because no one mentioned them. That’s like saying I never went to high school because I don’t talk about it on these boards.

It was pretty clear that Wolverine didn’t even know he had the bone claws because of the memory erase. They NEVER changed his back story they simply added one.
