Quoted from PinSinner:He is arguably the best xmen character ever created. It sure does have a dedicated fan base, but there seems to be a divide between the comic devotees and the movie fans as to the direction they took Wolverine in the movies.
As a die hard Wolverine fan since grade school in the 90s, I can attest to a divide over the way Wolverine is in the movies. Hugh Jackman has done an admirable job and it's nice that he was so devoted to it but he was very different from the Wolverine in the comics.
Wolverine is best as a grumpy background or side character in the big X-Men storylines or crossover events. His best solo stories were always peeks into his back story or small town events when he was on the road. After the movies they started putting him in the Avengers and it's changed his character in the comics.
I refuse to watch a trailer for the new movie because I want to be surprised but the rumors I've heard have me afraid they are going to kill him off and make X-23 take over Wolverine like they did in the comic. I was really hoping they would just recast Wolverine with a shorter, grumpier, hairier guy like he was in the comics.
I'm not interested in a pin solely based on Wolverine.
