It won't. Or it will and it'll suck.
Face it, you can't have hackyslash and deep philosophy unless you address one of the tenets of the human condition. And Wolvie's a Homo Superior.
Brain in a jar? Matrix did it.
Plato's Cave? Who Framed Roger Rabbit. And the Matrix.
Descartes Cognito Ergo Sum? Existenz/Matrix
I suppose you could do Nietzsche's Ubermensch but Magneto already nicely covered that.
Try as he might, the only philosophical conundrum Wolvie will ever solve is the Gordian Knot.

And he does that every scene anyway.

I'm kinda done with X-Men and Wolverine especially after the died up regurgitation that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Darren Aronofsky, Hugh Jackman, and Christopher McQuarrie? Fucking. Boner. The Fountain is one of my favorite movies of all time, and Requiem for a Dream and his other movies...ugh. Man. I should be pessimistic based on how bad the first movie was (though I personally enjoyed it because of Hugh Jackman, I knew it was pretty horrendous), but I honestly can't see this going wrong in any way possible with that kind of crew. Of course, that's what they said about Congo...

I liked orgins as well, for many of the reasons stated above. But yes, the ending was pretty crummy.
Save the people, then fight deadpool, but oh noes, there goes my memory. Oops.
And if there is a character to make darker, it's wolverine.
I liked the darker take on Deadpool's creation, but giving him laser eyes was a step to far. Yes he can teleport (using a special device), I can deal with the swords out of hands. But laser eyes? At least they had him break the fourth wall after the credits.
And really, your stupid comic book shit is terrible, but MY stupid comic book shit is better? That's the best this guy can come up with?
Not to mention that Marvel has pretty high critical acclaim when it comes to comic book movies. Things are usually popular for a reason
The headline of the article worries me.
Wolverine is not supposed to be a thought provoking character. Yes, some events that happen to him in the comics can possbily cause some thought process, but the character himself is bassically a 5-foot Canadian ball of fury. He's an action hero, not a thriller hero. The ideal reaction for a movie like this should be "F*** yeah! Wolverine is a badass!" not "Wow... what a thought-provoking movie"
Still, i wish Marvel Studios had the license to this movie instead of Fox. Wolverine would fit very well in the Avengers plot. He knows Nick Fury and Captain America, and Wolverine's comic debut was actually in the Hulk comic.
As for Deadpool in Origins: Yes, the lazer eyes were stupid, but i honestly can think of a way out of this. 1: He rips the blades out of his arms, and cuts his mouth open, leaving him horribly disfigured like in the comics. 2: After having his head unattatched for so long, it messed up a few of his powers, as in he lost the lazer vision. 3: With the base destroyed, he now regains his senses (or most of them, anyway). TA-DA! A 19-year old just managed to out-do whatever excuse is going to be used without resorting to a reboot!

Lets see how they can screw up Silver Samurai next, maybe instead of a sword he will have nunchucks?

Actually those work within the context of the Marvel universe. The rock they tried to find in africa was vibranium (an alien metal). The stuff they put in wolverine was adamantium a derived alloy from vibranium. The bullets in the gun I assume was just pure vibranium. Vibranium varies in the comics (there's an energy absorbing form and a form that breaks down metals) but usually it's tougher than the synthetic adamantium. So yeah the gun would work, but what was completely stupid was not giving Agent Zero (the asian guy who was good with guns) that pistol in the first place.Woodsey said:
