I was wondering more how people at the time felt. Not how you feel about it right now but thanks for sharing.
Fans were more annoyed about Storm barely being a character. Like why even cast Halle Barry if her most memorably line is some moronic shit about what happens to things getting struck by lightning.
I sometimes forget she's even there so that makes sense
I remember seeing it in theaters with my dad. We both enjoyed it very much but thought the costumes looked dumb. Hugh Jackman was cool and all but at the time it was seeing Patrick Stewart as Prof. X that made an impact.
Also, Brian Singer is a piece of shit who should still be taking black dick in prison.
>why? its a boring as frick character.
Cyclops developing as a leader, being forced to make hard leadership decisions, and his yin-yang dynamic with Logan could have all been kino.
They never really explored the burden of Cyclops responsiblity in any way, he's just there, following orders, and being involved in a love triangle.

This was her fault, she delivered the line very differently from how the script intended it.
It was meant as a light throwaway jokey quip but she went with a dead serious dramatic gravitas that's inappropriate for how silly the words are
Frick no. Wolverine IS the X-Men and that's the truth. If anything maybe people were most annoyed that Rogue wasn't as hot as she should be or Storm was barely in it. Mystique more than made up for it though.
wolverine was always the face of the X-men, I like scott just as much as the next guy but his fanboys are delusional if they think the 2 were ever in the same level of popularity
It's just factually untrue that Wolverine has always been the face of the X-men and it'd be incorrect to say Captain America has always been an Avenger.
Scott is literally the mutie Steve Rogers, they even have their own boy scout rivalry. Wolverine just became more popular during the extreme comics era so he became the "face" of the X-Men even if he was mostly a solo player.

Since cap's shield is some once in a life time vibranium alloy they should have made the lore that the center perfectly absorbs energy while the edge perfectly reflects energy.

If they ever do like a MCU reboot 50 years from now or some shit it would be highly kino if the initial setup phase was a series of Wolverine films that feature his encounters with other heroes throughout his life.
Yes, I'm still mad that Origins sucked ass and I want a "Logan Meets Captain America" WWII film.
I still cant believe that whole thing leaked. I watched the workprint right after seeing it in theatre. What a fricking time that was. Ot was a shit movie though, contrarions on Cinemaphile are idiotic
He was the only guy capable of truly embracing the wolf during the casting process. They had to point out that wolverines and wolfs are different animals but he showed a lot of heart.

The israeli Stan Lee wrote comics that were thinly veiled allegories for the holocaust, gays and black acceptance. X-Men combined all these subversive tropes.
Stan Lee has an obsession with nazis: >Electro was an evil nazi that wants to rule the world >Red Skull was an evil nazi that wants to rule the world >Dr Doom he's a fascist just like those evil nazi >Magneto was a holocaust survivor
All these Marvel comics were propaganda
Stan Lee's job as a writer for most comics from this era was to just tell Ditko or Kirby the general premise of the book and then those guys went and drew it up and Lee put a bunch of scribbles on the panels so they'd make make sense to the children.
This moron hasn't heard of "The Marvel Way". that's literally the opposite of how classic Marvel made comics.
Artists plotted the story and it was the writer's job to fill the dialogue and form the character personalities. that was how Marvel worked until the 2000s when they started making comics the same way as other publishers, being writer-driven and artists being simply hired guns.
I'm actor who was in this movie and I've posted about my time before. In this scene when the announcer asks someone from the audience to come in, the big guy who stands and says I WILL! I am the guy in the cowboy hat beside him.
The way to do this would have been to have had the main movie series and then done a bunch of team ups and what ifs with popular characters as mini series. Both mediums have just become vehicles to push bullshit side characters nobody cares about.
true. i will say this that capeshit, in theory, should be kino. you have so many angles and stories to tell but of course comic writers can't help but be total fricking spastics with fetishes and make the whole medium embarassing to read or engage with in any way. Born Again, the Chuck Dixon Punisher and Batman runs, Dark Knight Returns and the original Claremont run of X-Men are great entertainment.
I like capeshit for the interconnectivity but the MCU never did it right. It had all these wild corners of one world but they all acted the same so it was made moot. Also, never ever do the mutliverse shit.
>Everyone likes Batman. That's the only capeshit character that no one can say anything against.
Wrong, he stopped being good long ago. Now he only serves as self insert bait
>Russell Crowe was the first choice for Wolverine, but turned it down because he didn’t want to be typecast as “wolf characters” following Gladiator (Maximus had a wolf motif in the original cut which wound up downplayed in the final version). Producers also said that he asked for too much money and refused to sport Wolverine’s classic hairstyle, demanding a buzzcut instead.
>Viggo Mortensen was approached for Wolverine, but his son convinced him to turn it down because the script was not faithful to the comics.
>Glenn Danzig was considered for Wolverine, but he refused to screen-test for the role rather than receive a direct offer.

>Hugh Jackman was asked to screen-test for Wolverine at Russell Crowe’s recommendation and won the role, but producers were still unsure about him early on due to him being a complete unknown at the time.
>Like Crowe, Jackman mistook Wolverine to be based on wolves and watched several nature documentaries in order to learn how to properly emulate wolf mannerisms, and almost got fired when he started acting like a wolf on set.

He literally wasn't lifting yet, some of the shots in the first movie was when Jackson was literally only a week into the job as the entire production for delayed due to the original actor dropping out.
You could've read the gossip thread from the last week, it covered a lot of behind the scenes shit for the 3 movies.
You can tell when Jackman was lifting vs just starting with the middle and end of the first film, it's a noticeable muscle mass increase. Probably also first started juicing around that time in his life.
you have no idea how much I wanted an x-men film in the 90s watching the animated show. Its a great movie and so is 2.
were fans upset back then that Cyclops took such a backseat to Snkkt Bub?
why? its a boring as frick character.
le hurrr durr lasereyes. wow. thats the depth of his whole character. nobody likes cyclops

His character is the leader of the xmen and a competent one at that. He spends all of these movies in the cuckshed

Sorry but its a fricking moronic line. The punchline has the flow of a typewriter falling down a flight of stairs.
"it croaks" would be stupid but still 10x better
Why do you keep ribbing it?
>her most memorably line is some moronic shit about what happens to things getting struck by lightning.

Wolverine isn't even an original member of the team.
So what? Captain America isn't a founding member of the Avengers either.
It's just factually untrue that Wolverine has always been the face of the X-men and it'd be incorrect to say Captain America has always been an Avenger.

The face of the x-men will always be professor X you casual. Wolverine being part of the X-men never made any sense.
Wolverine has always been the most popular X-man.
No, because Cyclops doesn't have fans.
Cyclops is based but Wolverine has been the most popular of the X-Men since the 80s. By far.
I was more pissed that gambit wasn't in it
and that when they finally cast his character, he was shit
The demand for Cyclops to get more respect was more of a cumulative thing, especially after the third movie.
based and 90s pilled

Apparently he got brought on late, which is why he wasn't as fit as every other appearance.

Origins is the only kino wolverine movie
Inb4
>muh Logan and muh immigrant kids!
The workprint version genuinely is one of the funniest action movies of all time.
>climbs a tower to fight a guy that can teleport
What was logan's plan here?
In this version Deadpool has an amalgamation of powers and his teleporting power wasn't yet shown to Wolverine
This movie was actually fun and comfy to watch.
Same as the one set in Japan.
I forget they forgot to edit that scene before it was marketed.
I still cant believe that whole thing leaked. I watched the workprint right after seeing it in theatre. What a fricking time that was. Ot was a shit movie though, contrarions on Cinemaphile are idiotic
Best version of Deadpool because he couldn't say his reddit witticisms with his mouth sewn shut.
It has its moments. It's definitely the best Wolverine's ever looked despite the obvious CGI claws.
Why did they hire a tall Australian man to play wolverine?
He was the only guy capable of truly embracing the wolf during the casting process. They had to point out that wolverines and wolfs are different animals but he showed a lot of heart.
H was good friends with the sodomite director. Really good friends.
James Marsden was even better friends with Singer.
Man, was this movie just Singer's gay buddies wasn't it? How did he get away with it?
Literally yes. His boys appear as extras (Pyro "actor" in the first movie), obviously McKellen was also in on the boy orgies during these productions.
>obviously McKellen was also in on the boy orgies during these productions.

Comic fans still crying about movie wolverine not being a midget will never not be funny.
Because the tall Scottish man they originally hired was too busy with Mission Impossible 2
He must lost sleep about that at nights. Hugh Jackman is a star and he's the guy from Mission Impossible 2.
>he must lost sleep about that at nights
Bottoming for Singer also costed Jackman a lot of sleep at night, so it evens out
He would never have been a huge star like hackman though. His wolverine would be replaced by the second or third movie.
Tom Cruise ruining careers of capeshit actors over multiple decades.
Gay sex with Huge Jackedman
The israeli Stan Lee wrote comics that were thinly veiled allegories for the holocaust, gays and black acceptance. X-Men combined all these subversive tropes.
No Stan lee wrote fun stories about Spider-Man and the fantastic 4
It was other subversive gays like Claremont who wrote the xmen
Stan Lee has an obsession with nazis:
>Electro was an evil nazi that wants to rule the world
>Red Skull was an evil nazi that wants to rule the world
>Dr Doom he's a fascist just like those evil nazi
>Magneto was a holocaust survivor

That guy was correct. Lee would give the artist some idea they would go away and dikto would come with spiderman, silver surfer, fantastic 4 etc.

Yeah just put some muscle suit on Page and it'd be fine.
>Called wolverine because he's 5'3 but vicious
>Casts a tall guy
Short kings, why do our characters keep being taken from us?
Manlets aren't impressive at all
Even if they bench 300lbs
but that's the whole Wolverine stick
he is not as big as his enemies or even some of his allies, but his animal fury makes up for it
I unironically prefer his look and physique here than super roided out vasacular version we got later on.
We need THIS
>imma tell u sumthin, cycke, we need sunfire here hoss to burn local AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Something like pic rel might've been kino before these movies went to shit
The way to do this would have been to have had the main movie series and then done a bunch of team ups and what ifs with popular characters as mini series. Both mediums have just become vehicles to push bullshit side characters nobody cares about.
A period when the public knew little about cage fighting
A better time
I hate capeshit but find Batman and Daredevil kino. X-Men too. The rest I hate and find garbage.
literally me
I don't think anyone likes every single cape property. People usually have favorites.
true. i will say this that capeshit, in theory, should be kino. you have so many angles and stories to tell but of course comic writers can't help but be total fricking spastics with fetishes and make the whole medium embarassing to read or engage with in any way.

More like Chuck Dixinmyass
Yeah, it all depends on the author/artist and what they do with the available characters
I like capeshit for the interconnectivity but the MCU never did it right. It had all these wild corners of one world but they all acted the same so it was made moot. Also, never ever do the mutliverse shit.
I literally only like Batman and Wolverine
Everyone likes Batman. That's the only capeshit character that no one can say anything against.
>Everyone likes Batman. That's the only capeshit character that no one can say anything against.

He looks fit for a guy in his early thirties. Not impressive. Still looks better than 85% of guys his age.
Than 95% of guys his age is more accurate

He knows. He DM's most of them.
