For Your 3yo Comic Fan:
http://tvmedia.ign.com/tv/image/arti...207754-000.jpg A new cartoon that will appeal to youngsters even more bright-eyed than the ones watching Batman Brave and the Bold. Seeing as how this is their direct intention, there;s little to be insulted about. Yeah, this is based on those tot-toys. |

They almost look related, I like that.

They're pushing Wolverine and Sabretooth as brothers? Or was that Dog?

Wow I was kind of looking forward to this but now im really quite hyped for it.
Its a good trailer, way ahead of the Transformers one I think. |

Has Dog ever come up in any comics since the original Origin mini? And what was sabretooth's history revealed to be. Thought I read they where going to gointo that, in the issue of their final battle.

Origin did everything it can to spell out a proposed origin for Sabertooth and Wolverine's hatred without calling Dog, Sabertooth. I guess the movie guys are the only ones who got that. 'Tooth got a origin one-shot recently and yeah, another wasted opportunity. Your typical villain origin with all the elements to make him a sympathetic character, blah blah. You see with Dog, you see he was kind of a jerk for the longest, and it would show how far back Logan and Victor actually went. It made for a much better explanation of their feud than saying 'they're destined to hate each other'. That's too easy, that's weak sauce. I'm betting Origin wasn't allowed to use Victor Creed for whatever reason and left an 'open invitation' for future writers as a consolation. Comics: "Hey, let's make them a part of an epic bloodline struggle with wolf-people, that's cool." Movies: "Oh yeah, he's definitely Dog, we're going with that." |

Thor will film from July through September.
|
Sam Jackson Is Still Furious:
Samuel L. Jackson just signed a nine (yes nine) picture deal to portray Nick Fury in the newly connected Marvel Movie-verse. I'm thinking this is the first of many such deals as the superhero-movie arms race continues on. |
Iron Man 2 begins filming in Los Angeles next month.
|
The final trailer for the Wolverine movie will drop this Thursday, MTV has a few clips - not really worth linking here, trust me.
BTW, Gambit will have his eyes, albeit confined to his retina. The color scheme is there, though. |
Hugh Jackman on Wolverine Character Growth (Not Digging It?):
"I'm not mad about it, but I thought he had gotten a bit soft," Jackman says. "I thought we had gotten away from the essence of who Wolverine really is: a bad (dude) who wants to live his own life." "The character has always reminded me of Dirty Harry or Han Solo," Jackman says. "He's a good guy, not a nice guy. He's got a lot of flaws, which I think is what people find so attractive about him and the X-Men. He's struggling with who he is and what he wants. He was one of the comics' first anti-heroes." |
Well Played Fox:
With the Wolverine movie having kick-ass cameos of mutants never seen in live-action (Gambit, Deadpool), you wonder what that means in terms of the proper X-Film universe. I mean, this is an origin movie that takes place at the very least 10-15 years before Logan meets a certain vehicular stowaway in Canada. So what, Gambit and Deadpool must appear older if they are to appear in any future X-Films? Mild Spoiler: Nah, they'll appear just as they do in Wolverine's origin. A minor plot device is in place that will see that Gambit doesn't have to age a day. Deadpool, having similar regenerative abilities didn't need this fictional loophole, but Gambit is better served for it. |
Wolverine Final Trailer:
<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/v8bg4AeGQbc&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/v8bg4AeGQbc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object> Looks like a fun movie, but some of the claw effects look poorly rendered. |
I feel that the "claw effects" are the least of the worries for this movie
|
What worries you, man?
|
Not worries per se, but on a level of "will this movie be good", I would say there are countless things that point to no. It just looks like shit to me.
I'm more of a mark for good movies than I am for the novelty of a superhero movie though. |
"Ohh, shiny"

I dunno man, I'm not trying to burst any bubbles just voicing my take on it. I can't criticize the actually movie though, because I've yet to see it. I'll end up seeing it, and I really do hope that it's good, but I won't be shocked if it isn't.
|
Not bursting my bubbles, it's all good.
|
Seeing that Cyclops was in this in the trailer last night was a swerve. What the reason behind that?
|
Not Cyke, Scott Summers. Probably hunted down by Stryker for his Weapon project. By the looks of Weapon XI, he must have got a hold of him.
|
Well yea, same person. But are they having him and Wolverine cross paths?
|
They better not.
|
That's what I'm getting at. That would be bad. Who knows though
|
It's probably gonna be a case of Wolverine inadvertently saved his ass while escaping from the project and murdering everything in sight and Summers, being locked in a cage, is totally unaware of how the cage door opens but doesn't waste a chance to escape. Of course, Wolverine then goes on to have his mind wiped 6796875324554 times and Cyclops never knew Logan accidentally rescued him.
|
Cyclops being in weapon x is going to make every fanboy in the world, cry like little bitches.
I think it's kinda neat. Also, from a superhero movie standpoint, this looks good so far. Not eveything can be The Dark Knight, but that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable. |
Fuck fanboys.
|
Then again, the appearance of Cyclops might also be the introduction of Sinister to the series. Setting up for the next X-Men movie, perhaps? I mean, we have already seen a few Marauders in the movies thus far.
|
I've thought of that, but I doubt Fox is working that angle into their series. Since they are not in line with the other Marvel plans (for whatever reason).
|
How many more movies does Fox have left in the series?
|
Done wisely, they could eek out another trilogy based on the New X-Men, or even continue the story of the graduating X-Men from the first trilogy. They could also go on with the Wolverine movies and eventually Deadpool's film. Couple that with Magneto's work in progress and it seems Fox ain't letting go of their mutants.
Funny thing is, I want Fox to lose/let go of the X-Men universe. It's counter-productive for Fox to grip it in while Marvel Studios are on to something epic in the next few years. I feel very similar with Sony and Spider-Man - who are going on with another two movies themselves. The situation could solve itself if some wheelin and dealin were to go down. As it stands, Fox CEO #3 doesn't care if I wanna see Hugh Jackman tangle with Hulk. Mutants aren't even mentioned as a group of people in any other Marvel movie but the Fox ones. Would it be so discouraging to Fox for there to be mention of mutants they're not even using? Being a mutant doesn't make you an X-Character by default (or does it?). And Fox has little vision beyond $$$. They have Fantastic Four and X-Men, I would be the one in those studios meetings trying to get Chris Evans to appear in X-Men for some cool cameo. But with that logic, don't get me started on WB, who owns (as far as I know) all of the DC hero books - for years - and they've done shit with that huge advantage. Anyway yeah, Fox has some movies left. |
Being a mutant does not make you an X-character. There are plenty of mutants with little or no affiliation to the X-books. I kinda wonder about the whole House of M crossover as it got rid of shitloads of characters and basically killed off a lot of potential for new ones.
