Heh, that was what I thought. In the fraction of a second between that title card appearing and the Unskippable guys starting to sing I knew *exactly* what was coming.lucky_bob45 said:

According to Marvel Lore, isnt Vibranium stronger than Adamantium? Wouldn't Black Cat's sword cut through Wolverine like a hot knife through butter?CaptainCrunch said:
I've always wondered that.
Furthermore, why does Wolverine even continue to bother wearing that yellow costume in the comic books? It's not like he actually needs to disguise his identity seeing how practically EVERYONE knows who he is, and it's not like there are too many people he'd have to "disguise" himself from anyway, and he's a loner so it's not like he's "protecting his identity to protect his family and loved ones" which for the most part are Xmen or other mutants with abilities that practically ensure that they can take care of themselves.
For that matter, why not Captain America's shield? And how did they melt the vibranium, which is a naturally-occurring meteorite metal? Adamantium is just one of those comic book tropes - it doesn't really matter if anything is stronger. People just want to see a dude with claws tearing everything to shreds.HyenaThePirate said:
Although... if the adamantium covers all his bones (in particular including his spine and skull) then chopping him in half or decapitating him ought to be impossible.snuffler said:
(On the other hand, the movies frequently show him getting shot in the head, which suggests that his skull isn't surrounded by adamantium after all.)
I see your MST3K reference and add in my own.
"He did a good job blowing up the place, but his bosses didn't like him so they shot him in the face."
Do I win?

Adamantium bullets are shown to penetrate his adamantium skull in origins
Thanks guys another awesome video, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing on that tony award winner reference; thanks for that.
A little weak this week (alliteration, woohoo), but the cutscene wasn't all that interesting to start with.
The need to make that "M" rating from the ESRB?

Also, you guys win 2.5 Internets for referencing MST3K like that. I heard you guys start singing, and I thought, "They're not going to... are they?" I nearly fangirl squealed... and I'm a fanBOY... Plus another Internet for general awesomeness, especially the jokes around the whole "Wolverine-to-surface missile" segment.
And, did anyone else get a Ratchet and Clank vibe off of that paradropping sequence?
Actually I think Captain's Shield is about one of those things that can cut through just about ANYTHING.CaptainCrunch said:
Now that I think about it, I think Vibranium is a harder metal than Adamantium, because Adamantium is the strongest metal on Earth, while Vibranium is somewhat extraterrestrial in origin isn't it?
But I also have to wonder several things about logan's healing factor. Even if you excuse physical reality from the comic book universe, and his cells have a rapid regeneration rate, that means they must go through the stages of Meiosis and Mitosis at an exponential level. Wouldn't such an activity take monumental levels of ATP and energy? At the very least, while he could conceivably survive a grenade launcher in the chest, wouldn't his body shut down trying to divert enough energy to the cells to divide and multiply so rapidly? It would be like suddenly turning on every light, appliance, and electronic device in your home while using a gas powered generator.. at some point there has to be a drain on his body's resources. In essence, the more damage done to his body, the faster it heals, the more tired he is. I imagine Wolverine should be more like an immortal from highlander where he'd be rendered unconscious (or at least Immobile) for various periods of time while he recovers and heals. Having your midsection blown out by a shotgun should at least put him down for a few hours while he rests and recuperates. In addition, he'd probably go through ravenous amounts of food keeping that energy level up, but I suppose making him devour his enemies after slicing through them would be too much for people to handle.
Also I wonder.. if his brain is damaged or destroyed, which would essentially be the center of instruction for that healing factor cells to know what to repair, wouldn't that render his healing factor impotent, and worse, wouldn't that kill him? Now there has been a discussion about whether his skull is completely adamantianized, but I'm fairly certain his eyes, or his nose, or ears would NOT be. Several well placed shots in any of those places (and there are plenty of people in the marvel universe that could accomplish such a feat with various degrees of ease) would render his brain a pulpy mess. Then of course there's radiation. You could use a depleted uranium slug or an incendiary tipped bullet that destroys most if not all of the existing brain matter, meaning it could not be repaired quickly (or at all).
Would that kill Wolverine?
Such questions are the reasons I don't like wolverine as a character. It's the same reason I don't care much for Hiro or Pete or Sylar on Heroes... I don't care much for "omnipotent" level characters, who thanks to careless writing have taken away any real sense of excitement and danger by making a hero so darn unkillable it's almost pointless to write a story around them. At least Superman has a weakness (kryptonite), as corny of a convention as it is, it still makes him vulnerable and greatly so, considering every two-bit thug can seem to get their hands on a chunk through moderate effort. But there arent a lot of Vibranium/adamantium sword or bullet slinging characters in the marvel universe and most of them usually don't involve themselves in wolverine's affairs.
This is why I like characters like Batman and Spiderman and Ms Marvel and the Punisher. They have vulnerabilities, and when they go into battle their is a chance they could lose their lives (but not really since they have on-running series and make tons of money but you get my point). These people struggle through the majority of their conflicts balancing lives, relationships, and even jobs while trying to save the world against seemingly impossible odds at risk to life and limb and usually taking a severe beating in the process.
To me, THAT defines a true hero.
Okay, I'm gonna try to clarify this without my head exploding...According to the debate amongst several of my friends, hardcore comic fans of both Marvel and DC alike, the game is a flashback within a flashback. The very first scene is the future, whereupon it flashes back to Africa, and leads up to Wolverine getting his adamantium grafted on. The whole game involves piecing together the events that lead up to the point in the future, while telling the story of what happened in Africa to cause Wolverine to quit the team...whilst loosely following the events of the movie.Mysticgamer said:
Heh. I love these videos. =p I'd really like to see their take on the opening to MGS4 but it would probably be about half an hour long.
