Marvel Mania Day 24 | X-Men Origins: Wolverine

[@ThePonderer]

Yellowjacket is Corey Stoll. Blob is Kevin Durand.

[@makura5705]

It says he is in Canadian territory in the beginning. Which is funny because that did not exist in the year they say it is.

[@ConnerNielsen6]

Kevin Durand plays Blob here (Cory Stoll played Yellow Jacket in Ant-Man and was on the first season of House of Cards), you may also recognize him as Martin Keamy from Lost, acting alongside Dominic Monaghan who played Charlie from Lost. Hey, Evangeline Lily plays Hope in Ant-Man and she was Kate on Lost; not to mention Ken Leung who played that porcupine dude in X3 was also on Lost. You guys should add "Lost Alums" to the board.

[@Henez89]

Jin is also in Spider-Man 2 if I recall correctly.

[@qwellen7521]

X--Men origins: Wolverine: "Its not just a train wreak, it's a train station on fire" - Captain Logan That quote sums up that movie way too well.

[@jman2856]

The video game based on this film was pretty awesome.

[@agentofchaos7456]

Yes it was!

[@Geekvolution]

J Man Yeah, it's a great hack and slash. I should play all the time at through it finally.

[@MrEffectfilms]

yes it was, haven't played it in years but I remember enjoying it a lot.

[@PACKERMAN2077]

*MAKE A LTS PLYA!!!*

[@TheDayGhost]

I have the unfinished version of this movie and the last fight is just grey cg blobs fighting each other in a grey background.

[@j-asher]

The bad CG claws was due to studio interference, apparently a producer would walk onto sets and demand they repaint whole scenes, so they had to reshoot a lot and didn't have time to redo the claws perfectly.

[@EnsignRedSquad]

I always had a soft spot for this movie. Came out during college.

[@EnsignRedSquad]

Fun dorm flick.

[@cinephile9885]

You don't mind if I see every single Marvel film like you guys do? It's a project I wanted to do with my family since 2011.

[@Ben-no1cg]

the only thing I can think of as to how the light bulb guy would fit into the team would be that he might be able to turn off the lights to a place the team was infiltrating

[@RichardApperition]

He's not making the movie he wants to make, they wanted to do Wolverine in Japan, but the studio insisted this movie came first

[@brandonlyon730]

To be fair, technically by that point of time when Wolverine was a kid, their was no Canada at all it was still under control of the British Empire, and didn't become independent until sometime after World War 1, so technically by that point of time Wolverine is British.

[@SmartypantsTutoring]

I think that drink hit Eric more than he thought. The guy who plays Blob is character actor Kevin Durand. The actor from Ant-Man and House of Cards is Corey Stoll.

[@HunterTechTen]

The Tokyo post credit scene does show up on the deleted scenes. At least on the copy I had.

[@hundset]

In regards to X2's flashbacks, it's heavily implied that his memories are erased during the procedure as well, which could explain why he's horrified by the claws. The claws being covered in blood (which, he's entirely covered in blood from head to toe as well) could easily just be explained by the fact that it's from fighting his way out. Another thing I absolutely loathe about the adamantium bonding process scene in this movie is that the entire procedure doesn't make a lick of sense if it's just kind of "sprayed" or "poured" onto the skeleton (esp. since the x-ray image of his skeleton in the first x-men clearly shows the adamantium is segmented, as if "plated") you've got no guarantee it'll cover the entire surface of the bones, and no guarantee it'll just start melting into muscle tissue and internal organs and just solidify in that way. By the same token it's incredibly weird that the claws would become perfectly "blade" shaped when his bone-claws are an uneven, rough, circular shape. In essence, the process they alluded to in X2 - one that'd make the most sense - would be much more surgical and incredibly graphic by necessity, which is why you can't hope to show the actual bonding in a pg13 movie. It would also explain and justifies why the process would've been so traumatic as to haunt him as severely as it does in the first two films...

[@KiramidHead]

I know you guys were joking about the poster thing, but there actually *was* a character poster of Stryker holding the gun.

[@Anicomicgeek]

The scene in the Japanese bar is on the Blu-Ray.

[@TheComixkid2099]

I know I'm like a year late for this, but when Cap implies that comic book Bishop's powers are based around guns, that's not entirely true. Bishop's power is to absorb and redirect energy. He just happens to use a gun because he's one of those characters from the 90s.

[@shaunblake7411]

1:43:27 First Class ignores this movie, but just to make a slight correction, the movie wasn't entirely ignored in The Wolverine and Days of Future Past. In The Wolverine, Kayla is briefly mentioned and in Days of Future Past, a very brief shot of Lieb Schreiber's Victor crushing Wolverine's bone claws at the bar is shown in the footage of Xavier reading Logan's mind before the double Xavier scene. It's confirmed in the DOFP credits. Also I'm sure if they ignored this movie entirely we would never have had the bone claws in either of those films.

[@Aaron34285]

this movie should have been on the years he was in Weapon X / Alpha Flight.

[@KiramidHead]

Also, fun fact: the electricity guy was originally written as Beak.

[@rushfan21I2]

Gavin Hood recently did Eye in the Sky and that film was pretty good

[@ConnerNielsen6]

Jacob May, that film was FANTASTIC! In my Top 5 of 2016.

[@McCaffery]

Strikers son is in this movie, and he's frozen, for some reason !?

[@JoeChillton]

Oh no....its this film....

[@MM2Dylan]

The deleted scenes show Wolverine preparing to use a machine to wipe his memory after learning about Kayla's betrayal. That, I'm assuming, was what they were intending to use to wipe his memory before the adamantium bullet.

[@bluehawkfilm4560]

Dylan Woodson Why wouldn't you go with that?!

[@MM2Dylan]

You've got me.

[@bluehawkfilm4560]

Dylan Woodson I cannot believe that the bullet was somehow more believable and a better plot device than a memory-wiping machine. That is ridiculous.

[@JefferyEPetrone]

New show idea, Cap talks about Trek while drinking shots...

[@Dagenspear]

in the comics cyclops is given the ruby quartz glasses by mr. sinister, i think.

[@SolarDragon007]

"That was a good franchise back there. An INNOCENT franchise". "It's funny how good, innocent franchises tend to die around you!"

[@davidc4579]

at the beginning you guys decided it was 3 shots, one for each claw. Welllllll, technically you should have taken 6 shots, right?

[@valinor1082]

They did do 6 total, 3 each. So you could view it that way.

[@davidc4579]

cmp1082 touche

[@dvid22]

cause he every team needs a medic and infiltrator/tech person. his power is technopathy which is an asset much like a teleporter. funny thing is the real reason he lost his memory is cause he almost dies due to the process.

[@DarkHeroesForever]

So you're not going to do Punisher: War Zone?

[@DrMadd]

So to answer your question about the Canadian military's history, we were in the War of 1812 against the United States which we won (although US textbooks seem to think that Canadians burning down the capital doesn't constitute a loss for some reason), our involvement in the Civil War was mostly people transporting slaves to Canada since we had already abolished slavery, we were in both world wars before the US and liberated Holland in WWII. After that Canada stayed out of most of the Cold War era conflicts, when your country is between the two sides who want to nuke each other you got to make sure to not piss either side off.

[@McCaffery]

Speaking of memories, i can't wait till you guys get to The Wolverine, and try to explain how does Logan remember Yashida in 1945 at Nagasaki when it doesn't remember anything prior to the end of Origins

[@fanguy2]

McCaffery Well he started to get some memories back like in X2 about his origin

[@ImplicitlyPretentious]

Yeah there was a fox executive called Tom Rothman that was infamous for meddling with this film and he was also petty enough to rush out X-men 3 to compete with Superman Returns to get back at Singer

[@Christian39521]

Well, supposedly Richard Donner did uncredited directing on this one. There was a lot of drama behind the scenes.

[@McCaffery]

Eric perhaps you know Kevin Durand (The Blob) from Dark Angel

[@agentofchaos7456]

Actually this takes place in the 80s according to Fox timeline.

[@StarWarsAddict527]

Timeline? What timeline? There is no timeline!

[@NoPeopleLand]

don't forget about punisher War Zone!

[@brettpritchard265]

Uh oh, it's THAT one! :)

[@davidsmiley7036]

Always thought it tasted like black licorice. It is funny because I don't like black licorice, and yet I love Jaeger.

[@TheZax14]

No war zone?

[@MrCaptainSparkle]

They forgot the order of the movies. They are going back to do it.

[@RichardApperition]

X- Men Origins: Deadpool

[@dukealoops1993]

This still has a better after credits scene the Age of Ultron.

[@evang3676]

dukealoops1993 "I'll do it myself"..... *SpongeBob narrator voice* Three years later....

[@Dagenspear]

Gambit takes Logan because he hates stryker and sabertooth. and he doesn't go because he can't land there until after It starts to be destroyed, presumably. why would Logan give in to his animal instinct when that's not who is character is in x-men 1? sabertooth is jealous of Logan, it's pieced throughout the movie, jealous of his nice dad, of his happiness, of his place as a person, that's why he wants to tear Logan down as a person to his level, make him an animal and even him having a stronger healing factor. it's even played on by stryker, when he plays to sabertooth's ego and calls him captain, a title that Logan held before him, I think. Have a very great day! God bless you all!

[@dvon9392]

I still say this movie rally isn't that bad, besides what they did to deadpool

[@Dagenspear]

Kayla would have to be touching him. what makes you think stryker would let her? the doctor says that the adamantium bullet will stop him, not kill him.

[@Dagenspear]

the wolverine and days of future past acknowledge this movie. I care about Kayla/Logan more than I care about Jean/Logan in x1 & x2.

[@Dagenspear]

stryker never calls anyone but logan and erik lensherr by a title. lady deathstrike he calls yuriko, not deathstrike. he calls professor x, xavier, not professor x. why would logan have those memories of him waking up if he didn't lose his memory after that? Have a very great day! God bless you all!

[@chewbaccaslover1432]

I think Charlie was dead at this point, I don't think he was doing lost at this point.

[@PACKERMAN2077]

How many times you going to keep watching this movie?... Id say you've done Batman Begins 4 times already....? but how many of those were while drunk?

[@Dagenspear]

stryker's kid is mentioned. blob is shown to be physically durable here.

[@riderfan215]

Cyclops is the only reason this movie was worth watching before Apocalypse. Now it's not at all worth it

[@KiramidHead]

I read an early draft of this, minus Deadpool and all of the shoe horned in fan service... but it still sucked. I also have the script for Origins: Magneto, and it's pretty great.

[@Dagenspear]

stryker has a memory erasure device. he tries to use it on him in the director's cut. Have a very great day! God bless you all!

[@Smee319]

My personal choice for worst superhero movie.
