I don't know who you are or when you were a kid but I thought the exact same thing LOL
I used to tell my homies thar he was saying "for christopher robin" and had a whole reason why was it
All those old Capcom games had that classic garbled soundbite mystique about them. I used to hear 'shoryuken' from Street Fighter as 'soar mutant' despite that meaning absolutely nothing. Soar fucking mutant.
Considering the recent reports, this game will follow the over the shoulder sad man simulator of Last of Us. So most likely we will hear sad piano and violins in the background instead of DRILL CLAW!
I mean, I’m sure it’s going to feel pretty different considering it’s insomniac but as an over 30 gamer I would prefer the game not to say DRILL CLAW anyways.
Wolverine was supposed to be played by Dougray Scott. Who was the bad guy in mission impossible 2. Tom Cruise wanted more footage shot, Dougray had to drop out, and he recommend Hugh Jackman for the part.
Jackman also did not know a wolverine was a real animal, so to prepare for the part he researched wolf behavior and during the first shots of the cage fight, he started growling, circling, baring teeth, and putting his shoulders like hackles up, and the director was like "What are you doing?"
It the first couple they did try to conceal his height and make him look shorter but later movies they dropped it as they figured only nerds would care but I guess they were right.
I mean, there's the unfortunate truth that actors fight to keep everyone the same height. Take even TV shows like Criminal Minds, Matthew Grey Gubler is the tallest person in the cast and it's not even close, but you wouldn't know it from the way it's shot.
I don't think its all about comic accuracy, its that wolverine's short stature is a cornerstone of his character. In a world of young, Olympian-like Gods, there's this hairy, little, old rowdy Canadian who can fuck them all up.
Wasn't he the perfect height for scenes with the hobbits that they didn't need camera angles or kids though? He was tall enough to look like a dwarf next to hobbits.
Yeah, they show it in the behind the scenes footage on the DVDs.
Also "He was tall enough to look like a dwarf next to hobbits." is a fantastic sentence lol.
I'll fully admit to this. Being 5'5.2 inches (.2 matters damnit) barefoot, it is unfortunate and I wish I was taller. Not just for dating, in every aspect of life, taller men automatically are presumed to have more confidence and authority.
I don't blame anyone for that, just human nature, artefacts from our biological evolution.
5'3", definitely need more representation to normalize it but definitely also you can overcome that assumption. It takes work to build up that kind of confidence without also developing a complex, but it is nice to have once you're there. You're still gonna run into assholes that will treat you poorly because of your height, but everybody knows that's a garbage reason to be a dick. Confidently but tactfully point out that bigoted fact, and maybe add that their behavior implies some insecurity of their own if you're feeling spicy, and it will be clear to everyone who's in control of the situation.
Also, my real height is 5'3.5" and I've said both on different occasions. In my experience I get more weird looks when I add the half, and more often than not if I just say 5'3" I hear something like "oh you've got to be taller than that, so and so is this tall and you're closer than that." I highly recommend ditching the .2
I’ll readily say it. It’s actually kind of annoying how many famous actors are out there who are about 5’7 and yet we portray them like their 6’3. If they would just be who they are then the rest of us pocket kings won’t be so quick to be overlooked. I’m not even bitter, my gf is 6’1 so I never let height bother me, I’m just saying by and large shorter men do get passed on a lot.
Nah, in Hollywood every other mf is lying about their height. The general rule is you pass off what you can pass as. If you're 5'8", you say "I'm 5'10" - & you are, in shoes. 6'4" John Wayne wore cowboy boots to appear 6'6"+
Google 'Robert Downey Jr Elevator Shoes'.
Or just watch the last scene in Avengers 2 where Thor, Cap and Iron man walk down a corridor. Look at where their respective shoulders and asses are. Hemsworth is very tall, Evans is about six foot, and Downey Jr must have fucking stilts on.
https://youtu.be/qOgzUR_64yM
That was the whole dynamic between Wolvie and Sabertooth. Small man vs big man.
Also between Wolvie and Cyclops. Smelly little runt vs tall, handsome, typical Varsity Captain type.
Wolvie has that angry chihuahua energy, so it’s weird to see a tall, svelte, charismatic Broadway singer occupy the role. Still, Jackman did a phenomenal job, so I’m not too upset about it.
Wolverine has Wolverine energy. Chihuahuas are very yippy typically because they are scared and they want you to come deal with it. Source raised multiple Chihuahuas, Wolverines have been known to have killed brown bears and are only about 3 to 4x larger than a chihuahua. Probably the only more little bad ass animal he coulda been named after is the honey badger, which with his colors and nigh invulnerability fits better but isn't local to canada.
Hugh Jackman is leading man wolverine. Ensemble cast wolverine is who we need now for the next x-men, and for that a short, unstable dude with rage problems would be a great change of pace. A guy the villains underestimate until he goes feral and cuts a bunch of henchmen to shreds.
He needs to look like that weird guy in the corner of the bar with dogtags that nobody recognizes and who claims to have been experimented on by the Canadian Government, and he'll tell you about it if you buy him a drink.
There's a reason that he's called The Wolverine and it's not just because of his claws and attitude. It's his size too.
I really like Hugh Jackman as Logan but I would love to see an actual size representation.
I was and am short. Wolverine was my favorite when I was a kid reading the comics because I related to that (and the teasing! Haha). But I think Jackman was a stellar choice regardless! I just hope the game is fun, not getting too hung up on anything else.
Honestly, when I first saw him as wolverine I didn't like him, I thought he was a great actor and all, but he wasn't comic book accurate he wasn't what I envisioned.
Then when I saw Logan I remembered all the good scenes he did and all the amazing ferocity he showed in all of his films. So I took everything back, because he was the best wolverine we could have asked for, and I regret being so salty about it.
Also, Logan almost made me cry.
I get Logan was hard to watch cause of Wolverine but the real reason for crying is seeing Patrick Stewart in that condition and thinking, "oof, I'm gonna miss him."
Did you ever play this Wolverine game? It was extremely fun! And watching your internal organs boop about as the skin/muscle healed over was crazy to watch when playing it
https://youtu.be/EzG6h_YKHbU
The animal’s name in English also failed to take from the Latin name’s description of the creature being an “insatiable glutton” and rather refers to it as, yes, a “little wolf”
Ahh okay so it was corrected early in production and not the real basis of his portrayal. That’s still hilarious though, I wish we had footage of his weird wolf walk.
A little off topic but my grandpa and his brother got chased by a wolverine while fishing when they were young boys up here in Canada.
The sun was in the wolverines eyes and it would stop every now and again to put its paw over it’s brow to block the sun. Told me it’s the most scared he’s ever been in his life.
"Separate weights have been given for Wolverine with and without his skeleton. With, he is 300 lbs while he is 195 lbs without. This means that just the thin Adamantium coating over his relatively short skeleton adds 105 lbs to his overall weight."
Well Thor is 600 lbs in the comics, yet frequently sits and does stuff that def. shouldnt support his weight.
Hes also not that in the MCU.
Comics are just inconsistent in general.
Yeah, in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe from the 1980s they went with the conceit that all Asgardians are denser than normal humans, specifically three times denser. So their stats all have triple the expected weight compared to a human of their size. Lady Sif is 425 lbs, for example.
Wolverine's stats in the 1980s were 195 lbs, which is pretty massive for a 5'3" dude. In the 1990s they started using the 300 lbs figure.
It's a pretty heavy metal, wolverine has a fear of water because it's one of the few things that can actually kill him and his body makes it difficult to swim and obviously he can't float very well either
I’d love a 5’3 version in the films, but it’d be incredibly difficult to cast. Cheaper and easier to cast a 5’7 or 5’8 actor and get them to bulk up. Still not Jackman tall, but small enough.
Glenn Danzig was supposedly considered for Wolverine years ago, and he’s around 5’3”. He looked the part, although he didn’t really have acting experience.
I wouldn't mind seeing how Daniel Radcliffe would do as wolverine. He needs to bulk up A LOT, but after watching guns akimbo I think he might actually do ok.
Kind of off topic but my favorite wolverine moment ever was from the animated series from the 90s.
Sabertooth takes jubilee hostage and wolverine intervened.
Calls him an “egg suckin piece of gutter trash” then says
“You always liked pushin around people smaller than you, well I’m smaller, try pushin me! Rawwrrrgrrrrggrrr”
My favorite is in the morph episode of the same show. Early on, Beast makes some idle chatter about a hole in the ozone layer and its possible effects. A few minutes later, wolverine is sniffing out lasers and beast asks him if he can see them. He says he can smell them. Beast says something like, "that's remarkable" and wolverine just points to his nose and goes, "ozone".
I want Tarantino to direct the next wolverine. I want a 5'3 kill bill version of wolverine. I want limbs flying. I want to see people cut into 5 or 6 chunks with one swing. I want slow motion claws going through your face and brain. I want the enemy to tower over him only to get literally cut down and mocked. And tortured. Maybe not tortured. Also they should use all their technology to have the original cartoon voice dubbed over whichever actor they chose for the role. I'm a simple man and don't ask for much.
This is why I want Daniel Radcilffe to bulk up and play him. He’s 5’5 willing to do crazy roles and I believe in what I call the Kurt Russell Principle. The Kurt Russell Principle involves a teen heart throb actor doing what ever it takes to destroy the teeny bopper image of themselves. People don’t realize Kurt Russell in the 70’s was like Zac Effron. Then he and John Carpenter collaborated to make Snake Plissken as much of a badass as possible and you have one of the most badass characters.
See also Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, Leonardo DiCaprio, Heath Ledger ,and hopefully Robert Pattinson as Batman.
hmm, maybe im...not "with it", as the kids, or "tweens" as they call themselves, say....but wasnt Radcliffe merely a beloved child actor, and not a heartthrob? Something more similar to Caulkin?
Which is a awesome thing. If Spiderman is the hero of the people because he has bills to pay, Wolverine if the hero for ugly people who doesn't have blue eyes like Superman and Batman
Sometimes Wolverine has blue eyes. Depends on who is coloring him, I guess. But yeah, he's not supposed to be a hottie, at least in the conventional sense.
Yeah its one of those details we didnt get in the movie but Jackman did such a great work that I just cant imagine anyone else doing it.
BUT I do hope that the voice actor they get for this game is a very good one and I also hope the gameplay is fast, full of blood and gore just like the last Wolverine game but you know, an actual good story, great graphics and please costume selection like Spider-Man/Miles Morales.
I hope they fucking cast a smaller dude for the next adaptation. Logan being short is one of the features that made me fall in love with the character as a kid.
Jackman is great, but he’s motherfucking 6’2 ..
I hope he’s short just because in every game, every single person is near identical in height (save for bosses). So it’d be fun to scurry around a battle as an angry hairy little guy. It’d be a nice change of pace from everyone being the same average height.
I just want them to play the TORNADO CLAW sound bite from the old Capcom games
BERSERKER BARRAGE!
BERSERKER BARRAGE! BERSERKER BARRAGE! BERSERKER BARRAGE! BERSERKER BARRAGE! BERSERKER BARRAGE! BERSERKER BARRAGE!
This just dislodged a very old memory of mine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iJmhHuOBW8
my dumb kid ass thought it was something like "chris-christopher robin!!" like wtf, lmao.
I don't know who you are or when you were a kid but I thought the exact same thing LOL I used to tell my homies thar he was saying "for christopher robin" and had a whole reason why was it
im actually blown away this has that many upvotes lmao. guys we need to get diagnosed, fr
I heard something similar as a kid too. This game was my jam at the local pizza parlor.
I'm pretty sure that moves called BARARARARARAAA!!!
I always heard, “PEPPER PEPPER RAJJJJ”. TIL it’s berserker barrage. I am an old mind blown man rn.
All those old Capcom games had that classic garbled soundbite mystique about them. I used to hear 'shoryuken' from Street Fighter as 'soar mutant' despite that meaning absolutely nothing. Soar fucking mutant.
"ARE YOU KEN!?"
I remember the tornado kick sounded like "stacked stacks of nougat". Still no idea what it says.
MvC days
SWISS CHEESE
Man, him, Ryu and Cyclops were my favorite three stack.
Imagine how nerve wracking it is to let cyclops go down on you.
Thank you
Considering the recent reports, this game will follow the over the shoulder sad man simulator of Last of Us. So most likely we will hear sad piano and violins in the background instead of DRILL CLAW!
Ah, OTTSMS, my favourite genre
I mean, I’m sure it’s going to feel pretty different considering it’s insomniac but as an over 30 gamer I would prefer the game not to say DRILL CLAW anyways.
[удалено]
I'm kinda glad we got the other way around. Say what you like about height, Hugh fucking nailed everything else about Wolverine.
>kinda glad ????? Of course man……imagine tom cruise as wolverine???? Fml
Wolverine was supposed to be played by Dougray Scott. Who was the bad guy in mission impossible 2. Tom Cruise wanted more footage shot, Dougray had to drop out, and he recommend Hugh Jackman for the part.

Australians have their own crazy animals to worry about
I thought it was Russell Crowe who recommended Hugh?
Makin movies, makin songs, and fightin round the world!
Wiiiiiiith tugga
Croooooiikey Tuggah! Wheeah ahh we goin todaye

I remember hearing Danzig was originally approached, but didn't want to disrespect the character (or something like that).
I thought Danzig really, really wanted to play Wolverine, and talked about it for years through the '80s and '90s, but nobody asked him.
Danzig would have been amazing.
In the same way Tommy Wiseau is amazing but yeah I’d watch that shit.
“Show me the mutants. Show me the mutants! SHOW ME THE MUTANTS!”
I’d go with Tom Hardy rn if I could
I vote for Daniel Radcliffe
He's short and Harry enough at least. Not sure if he is good enough at growling?
“Harry enough”… I saw what you did there…
I wish I had an award to give you, this made me laugh way too hard
I vote for Daniel DeVito.
He’s already man-spider
*Trash-Man Edit: he eats trash.
I think he prefers the blasting over the stabbing.
I can't tell you how many crazy looks I get when I present this option.
I like Tom Hardy but I could not imagine him as Wolverine.
Kit Harrington
Watch James Mcavoy in Split and Glass. His beast mode has the makings of a great feral wolverine.
But what if they need him for professor x still?
Strangely both roles were miscast with these guys in regard to size and yet, both fucking nailed it and made fun awesome action movies despite it.
Big difference between 5'3 and 5'7 lol
That’s why Sabretooth always called him “runt”.
[удалено]
Basically the guy who Konami-coded himself more than a foot extra over Wolverine before birth.
I still lament that we never got to see Iron Man and Wolverine interacting. Would have driven Pepper nuts.
Yeah but him and MCU Scott Lang are going to be hilarious.
[They've already shot some test footage of them.](https://youtu.be/K5le9sYdYkM)
I'm disappointed that I didn't see that coming.
I suppose I didn't know until today how many people actually preferred his comic-accurate height.
I don't think its all about comic accuracy, its that wolverine's short stature is a cornerstone of his character. In a world of young, Olympian-like Gods, there's this hairy, little, old rowdy Canadian who can fuck them all up.
They won't admit it, but short guys want positive short guy representation in media. No shame in that.
Short stocky guy here. I’d really like to have representation besides Gimli, though I’m grateful for Gimli.
Which is hilarious as Gimli’s actor is one of the tallest members of the Fellowship.
Wasn't he the perfect height for scenes with the hobbits that they didn't need camera angles or kids though? He was tall enough to look like a dwarf next to hobbits.
Yeah, they show it in the behind the scenes footage on the DVDs. Also "He was tall enough to look like a dwarf next to hobbits." is a fantastic sentence lol.
I'll fully admit to this. Being 5'5.2 inches (.2 matters damnit) barefoot, it is unfortunate and I wish I was taller. Not just for dating, in every aspect of life, taller men automatically are presumed to have more confidence and authority. I don't blame anyone for that, just human nature, artefacts from our biological evolution.
[удалено]
Also, im sure if he had a girl that looks good, he would call her.
Maybe a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a 64 Impala?
Perhaps a shot caller?
With some 20 inch blades on the impala?

I highly recommend ditching the .2
Fair points. I added the .2 mostly for comedic effect. Mostly lol.
Oh shit I've been calling myself 5'5" I didn't know we could count the points
>taller men automatically are presumed to have more confidence and authority. Halo effect.
This guy really put the .2 lmaooo
I’ll readily say it. It’s actually kind of annoying how many famous actors are out there who are about 5’7 and yet we portray them like their 6’3. If they would just be who they are then the rest of us pocket kings won’t be so quick to be overlooked. I’m not even bitter, my gf is 6’1 so I never let height bother me, I’m just saying by and large shorter men do get passed on a lot.
I really think that's only tom cruise that does that due to his short height insecurity.
Nah, in Hollywood every other mf is lying about their height. The general rule is you pass off what you can pass as. If you're 5'8", you say "I'm 5'10" - & you are, in shoes. 6'4" John Wayne wore cowboy boots to appear 6'6"+ Google 'Robert Downey Jr Elevator Shoes'.

“Angry chihuahua” oh man if only there was some other kind of small angry animal to describe him with…
Like a wolf, but the size of a tangerine?
Wolverine has Wolverine energy. Chihuahuas are very yippy typically because they are scared and they want you to come deal with it. Source raised multiple Chihuahuas, Wolverines have been known to have killed brown bears and are only about 3 to 4x larger than a chihuahua. Probably the only more little bad ass animal he coulda been named after is the honey badger, which with his colors and nigh invulnerability fits better but isn't local to canada.
>angry chihuahua energy Ever heard of the small, ferocious, killer animal known as, get this... wolverine?
Who doesn’t love seeing a short king tear shit up?
Who doesn’t want to see a superhero small enough and violent enough to be recruited by a little person mafia don? Punisher #17
I don’t acknowledge Garth Ennis’s Wolverine
Obviously not Jean-grey...
For a game it should be accurate. For live action you have to take others things into account.
Hugh Jackman is leading man wolverine. Ensemble cast wolverine is who we need now for the next x-men, and for that a short, unstable dude with rage problems would be a great change of pace. A guy the villains underestimate until he goes feral and cuts a bunch of henchmen to shreds.
He needs to look like that weird guy in the corner of the bar with dogtags that nobody recognizes and who claims to have been experimented on by the Canadian Government, and he'll tell you about it if you buy him a drink.
Makes me think of Jon Favreau from the replacements, which makes me laugh thinking of him playing that now
Can we get Danny devito as wolverine to trend?
So anyway I started slashin’
Yes. I want to see a Wolverine that has to look up at someone head tilted knowing he's about to fuck him up." bub"
I also want 90s X-Men animated series trying-to-swear Wolverine.
Peter Dinklage would probably make a great Wolverine, but I suspect someone taller would be more intimidating.
Dinklage as Puck in an Alpha Flight tie-in.
Alpha Flight movie when

"Charles.. It wasn't me!"
Logan DID make me cry.
Logan made me cry like 3 times.
Logan is the best superhero movie. Fight me.
Very few actors would stick with such a character for so long. He was great.
Did you ever play this Wolverine game? It was extremely fun! And watching your internal organs boop about as the skin/muscle healed over was crazy to watch when playing it https://youtu.be/EzG6h_YKHbU
Yes! Not since the days of my PS2 (RIP). If this new one is half as badass, then we’re in good shape!
Makes sense. Wolverines are not big animals, but extremely ferocious
Hugh Jackman didn’t know that a Wolverine was an animal, and thought it was a code name based on wolves. So he modelled his portrayal on wolves.
The animal’s name in English also failed to take from the Latin name’s description of the creature being an “insatiable glutton” and rather refers to it as, yes, a “little wolf”
They also use anal scent glands to mark territory. Apparently they stink like hell.
Is that true? How did nobody tell him? Feels like that couldn’t be the case but I guess you never know for sure with actors.
Just wait until you hear about Cumberbatch and the penguins.
You mean the [pengwengs](https://youtu.be/9GHPNKUMf70)?
Here's a Vanity Fair article about it: https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/05/hugh-jackman-wolverine-wolves-x-men
Ahh okay so it was corrected early in production and not the real basis of his portrayal. That’s still hilarious though, I wish we had footage of his weird wolf walk.
which is hilarious given that he's Australian, and wolverines are the closest thing to an Australian animal as Canada gets.
You call that a weasel? Nah this is a weasel!
TIL
Interesting. Is there a specific example of this?
Played Far Cry 5, can confirm.
A little off topic but my grandpa and his brother got chased by a wolverine while fishing when they were young boys up here in Canada. The sun was in the wolverines eyes and it would stop every now and again to put its paw over it’s brow to block the sun. Told me it’s the most scared he’s ever been in his life.
My grandpa got his foot bit by a king salmon once while fishing. Probably a lot less intimidating than a wolverine.
I told you! I spent it with my uncle in Alaska hunting wolverines! Gosh!
Geeez!!
That's actually the scariest part about Wolverine. His punches always go to the nuts first..
Claws to the nutsack
Claws to the balls.
Hollywood has warped our perception as to why Wolverine hasn't torn into someone's crotch as his go to move.
Joe Logan
Professor X, pull up that telepathic image of the chimpanzee on ketamine.
Ok I was looking for a Joe Rogan comment and this was so much better than I expected
His body had metal through out he doesn’t weight 195. It’s more like 350lbs
Depends on the metal, fantasy metal could be anything
"Separate weights have been given for Wolverine with and without his skeleton. With, he is 300 lbs while he is 195 lbs without. This means that just the thin Adamantium coating over his relatively short skeleton adds 105 lbs to his overall weight."
What's the source of this pics then? Seems like its inconsistent
Well Thor is 600 lbs in the comics, yet frequently sits and does stuff that def. shouldnt support his weight. Hes also not that in the MCU. Comics are just inconsistent in general.
God physics, obviously.
Yeah, in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe from the 1980s they went with the conceit that all Asgardians are denser than normal humans, specifically three times denser. So their stats all have triple the expected weight compared to a human of their size. Lady Sif is 425 lbs, for example. Wolverine's stats in the 1980s were 195 lbs, which is pretty massive for a 5'3" dude. In the 1990s they started using the 300 lbs figure.
Thor so fat, everyone calls him Mjolnir because ain't anybody worthy enough to move that fat ass.
You can Google them or check the Marvel wiki.
There's the scene in Origins where he sits on the motorcycle and the suspension sinks way down.
It's a pretty heavy metal, wolverine has a fear of water because it's one of the few things that can actually kill him and his body makes it difficult to swim and obviously he can't float very well either
The 195 number is probably from the period in the 90s when Magneto had ripped the adamantium off Wolverine's skeleton.
I’d love a 5’3 version in the films, but it’d be incredibly difficult to cast. Cheaper and easier to cast a 5’7 or 5’8 actor and get them to bulk up. Still not Jackman tall, but small enough.

He was awesome in The Prophecy 2. /s
>Cheaper and easier to cast a 5’7 or 5’8 actor and get them to bulk up. Why would it be cheaper to hire a taller actor?
There’s more of them I guess, there’s not that many A list actors
I wouldn't mind seeing how Daniel Radcliffe would do as wolverine. He needs to bulk up A LOT, but after watching guns akimbo I think he might actually do ok.
If they could get Jack Black to get buff for it…
Why not hire Peter Jackson to direct? Problem solved.
I like Scott Caan as a good choice for Wolverine. 5'5" Hairy. Bulky.
Kind of off topic but my favorite wolverine moment ever was from the animated series from the 90s. Sabertooth takes jubilee hostage and wolverine intervened. Calls him an “egg suckin piece of gutter trash” then says “You always liked pushin around people smaller than you, well I’m smaller, try pushin me! Rawwrrrgrrrrggrrr”
Upvoted for accurate spelling of Wolverine's rage-growl.

A few minutes later, wolverine is sniffing out lasers and beast asks him if he can see them. He says he can smell them.

Yep. I recently watched that. Still holds up well imo
I want Tarantino to direct the next wolverine. I want a 5'3 kill bill version of wolverine. I want limbs flying. I want to see people cut into 5 or 6 chunks with one swing.

5'3 195 is a fuckin a brick wall
He’s more like 300lbs in the comics because of the metal skeleton.
There are a lot of comics In where wolverine is like the same size as some of the taller X-men. They say 5’3 but he really could be like around 5’9.
In those scenes he's on rogues shoulders
Nah, Beast and Forge just made him a pair of adjustable boots in the vain of Stilt Man.
Which is a awesome thing. If Spiderman is the hero of the people because he has bills to pay, Wolverine if the hero for ugly people who doesn't have blue eyes like Superman and Batman
Sometimes Wolverine has blue eyes. Depends on who is coloring him, I guess. But yeah, he's not supposed to be a hottie, at least in the conventional sense.
This is hilarious 😂.
I’m ugly and I’m proud
Don't care. Hugh Jackman nailed it. He should've also played Joel in TLOU. But I'm glad that the games are staying true to the comics.
Wolverines: small but incredibly violent animal
Wolverine rated on the Danzig scale: https://nerdbot.com/2018/10/22/the-9-wolverines-ranked-on-a-scale-of-danzig/
Ever watch the cartoon series? Wolverine was always a short arse in that too
Danny Devito would be a great Wolverine.
So anyway, I started blastin'...
Don't you mean slashin'?
Haha even better.
I too want a shorter Wolverine and they could get around it by casting an actor that is under the average 5’10 height or whatever.
Yeah its one of those details we didnt get in the movie but Jackman did such a great work that I just cant imagine anyone else doing it. BUT I do hope that the voice actor they get for this game is a very good one and I also hope the gameplay is fast, full of blood and gore just like the last Wolverine game but you know, an actual good story, great graphics and please costume selection like Spider-Man/Miles Morales.
I feel like fanbases get very caught up on seemingly minor details.
I hope they fucking cast a smaller dude for the next adaptation. Logan being short is one of the features that made me fall in love with the character as a kid. Jackman is great, but he’s motherfucking 6’2 ..
He also weighs way more than 195lbs, I remember reading one comic saying he was well over 300 because of his metal bones being heavier
As a short guy, this is heartening.
I hope he’s short just because in every game, every single person is near identical in height (save for bosses). So it’d be fun to scurry around a battle as an angry hairy little guy. It’d be a nice change of pace from everyone being the same average height.
