a family video without a single family tree or even a diagram is WILD

[@nickyphillips106]

A helpful hint when you do a video about a family tree, you should show a diagram of a family tree. It would be helpful to have a visual when you add another person to a very convoluted family tree.

[@paradox5672]

I still believe that Sabertooth should be related to Wolverine Because of their similarities.

[@VampX13]

This is an awesome suggestion. I honestly wish we could have animated family trees in our vids. Maybe one day. We'd just need to hire an animator. 🥹

[@itsmytoast666]

The scripts for these videos are often so cluttered with "oh, and also," or "and then there's," and "[hehe, isn't that funny, fellow nerd?]", lots of "by the way, then there's [this other thing]," and so many other shitty ways to tell information. The channel and its offshoots are big because click-bait thumbnails and titles, but, honestly, some - very few and far between - solid videos. I'm just glad they seem to've found a way to dampen the yelling and echo. I don't understand why they went and bought a green screen, started a million other channels, but can't afford decent recording devices or the time to explain how to record audio. Fuck, I know all of this, but I'm a jobless schmuck right now who can't find a job to save his life - go fucking figure.

[@matthewschwartz6607]

I liked Logan as having a mysterious past . They sprinkled hints here and there , that was how I liked him. It was also less convoluted than that ongoing Origins series that we go.

[@itsmytoast666]

There are stories that solidify his past - this video, like a lot of this channel's videos, suffers from a horrendous script.

[@Brakdayton]

@@itsmytoast666 I preferred him when his name was simply Logan, that he might have been around since before WW2, that Sabretooth might be his father, when a punch from Colossus could knock him out, when he was simply a supporting character of only one ensemble.

[@jessemillan1385]

James Howlett was the son of John Howlett Sr. and Elizabeth Hudson Howlett but it was revealed that Thomas Logan was the father due to his affair with Elizabeth. James also had a brother named "Dog" Logan. James killed his Father Thomas after he shot John Howlett. Elizabeth Hudson committed suicide after she was horrified at James for developing his mutant abilities. James and his childhood friend, Rose, fled the country. This led to Dog Logan having a hatred for his brother despite being told by his and Logan's grandfather to track Logan down. Later on, Rose began calling James: "Logan". The Hudsons' lives began with tragedy, which lead to involvement with Romulus. Friedrich Hudson was Logan's Uncle who arranged his niece Janet to be killed by Logan. Friedrich Hudson was killed by Daken(another story). Truet Howlett aka Professor Thornton was the man responsible for the project of Weapon X and the foundation of Weapons+ which ties to Dracula and the Super Soldier program, and Nathaniel Essex AKA Mr. Sinister. He's Logan's Cousin. James Hudson is Logan's Cousin and half-brother to Truet Howlett aka Professor Thornton. Raze is the son of Wolverine and Mystique, while James Hudson is the son of Wolverine in the Ultimate Universe. Daken is the son of Itsu and Wolverine, itsu was assassinated by Winter Soldier. This led Romulus to manipulate Akihiro AKA Daken to hate his Father. Wolverine also killed five of his other children known as the Mongrels who were born from his past relationships. Other children of Wolverine in different continuities: Wolverine and Elektra have a daughter named Wild child. He also has another son named Saberclaw.

[@JensenTSolo]

Good video. Very informative. I would like to see a video of Mr. Sinister, Nathan Essex. A video breakdown of his origins and what he's done in the comics so far up to this point. How his involvement in his "experiments" has led to the stories we've read over the years.

[@Top10Nerd]

You have no idea how much we've all been fighting over who's going to do the Sinister video...

[@itsmytoast666]

Check out Comics Explained or any of Rob's other channels. The sound and scriptwriting qualities are god tier in comparison.

[@mcmonaglea]

A Mr. Sinister family tree would be amazing... also, is Gambit Mr. Sinister??

[@andyking4441]

I'd love to see you do Mr. Sinister's family tree, i bet there's a lot to cover there.

Nathaniel Essex and all his tangled connections should be a video

Thank you very much!

[@strombreakr]

Now, me personally, it would be SO COOL to just resurrect John Jr.

[@kingshadow8782]

The video will be starting shortly.

[@jedirayden]

I know I'm pretty much alone in this opinion but X-Men Origins Wolverine is actually an okay movie that starts out pretty great and aside from some awful CGI on the adamantium claws, and basically everything that happens in the movie once NOT-Deadpool shows up, the movie is pretty decent for the first hour and 15 minutes or so. Flame me if you wish, my fellow commenters, but I'm just saying if we ignore the last 45 minutes or so it's not bad. Started out strong and does a decent job until, well, we all know when it goes horribly sideways.

[@laurencefenderson6702]

It was actually great as it included his actual origin for the most part.

[@behemoth101]

I was hoping to hear about the James Hudson that was an alternate Earth son that got switched to 616

[@owencoles2798]

The most interesting thing I learned is that Dakan prefers to go by Akahiro or Fang.

[@MrJohnnyDanja]

It's always Laura and Gabbie first. Akahiro is a now a close second. It's amazing how a few good writers made me like him.

[@DigitalWraith]

So Elizabeth had 2 sons by groundskeeper Logan. She was definitely for the streets.

[@krissbradley]

I never knew that Wolverine even had a Family Tree fantastic job on explaining Wolverine's Family Tree Amanda.

[@curtislane6197]

"THE END" wasn't mentioned where Wolverine meets his older brother

[@laurencefenderson6702]

Wolverine has a son named Erista that resides in the Savage Land. He also has a boy clone out there somewhere.

[@dogsartandhealth]

I don't understand how Dog Logan became the heir and ward to the Old man even though they weren't related biologically and only relation would be through James' mother having illegitimate children with another man. I bought and read the "Orgin" stories in their entirety and this never made sense to me.

[@justinweatherford8129]

It would be nice to show a diagram of this.

[@claudiogrossi5017]

I think Dog was brought to present because of the tampering with time diamonds, as seen in the Spider-Man/Wolverine mini-series.

I remember this line in the first Wolverine movie, his brain does heal, but him memories don't

[@PastramiSalami666]

I always preferred Logan with a mysterious past, same as Joker with DC. You get a hint or a nudge but the mystery made him a million times more foreboding. But as writers, u eventually have to go there I guess.

[@thesquiggylenny7845]

Loved the analysis maybe add a time line and family tree to make it more understandable 👍

[@Blakk_Wolf7]

Wolverine didn't choose the name Logan, Rose was the one chose the name when they were on the run, in an effort to help them hide.

[@joshuabrown9489]

Never knew he had a Family Tree.

[@ll7868]

I remember the days when fans begged Marvel to reveal Wolverine's past then when they finally did it they all screamed "We liked him better when he was mysterious!" New fans have a Wolverine with a history that goes back to his childhood, older fans never had that, I think we had the better Wolverine, the mysterious one, now he's locked in, can't create anything new if it doesn't fit with canon.

[@dtill5322]

They share no family ties whatsoever, lol. Their only history is from time spent in Weapon X together. Creed/Sabertooth just remembers their past better than Wolverine/Logan. Due to multiple mind wipes he's had. Thus, he has used it to his advantage. Impersonating his brother "dog" cause they look alike.They only share akin similarities of mutant abilities and healing factors. Being derived from the same species. Sabertooth has always been very envious of Logan. Due to the fact that his abilities, potential, and skills were far superior to his own. He spent his life causing Logan grief. Chris Claremont was going to at a point make him Wolverines father. But decided not to do so. Feeling it would only complicate both characters.

[@Notrobertfr]

I could’ve swore sabertooth and wolverine were kids together before weapon x

[@icaruscarinae]

Just say the other brother has a 10x healing factor giving him long life. Still 50x slower than wolverine.
