Wolverine definitely does a lot of stealth in the comics. He has a heightened sense of smell and is an expert tracker. As good as Wolverine's healing factor is, he can still be knocked out by physical force or chemicals like tranquilizer darts. Sure he's a great berserker when he needs to be, but he's great at stealth too.

[@Nergal7891]

but he can literally be destroyed down to the bone if not more and will still regenerate. personally im a fatal attraction wolverine fan. i like it when hes the little guy with funky bones claws lol

[@KakashiOkazaki]

​@Nergal7891 if you reduce him to a skeleton he dies. It's happened a number of times.

[@stonedwizard0420]

I was scrolling hoping to find this comment, lol. Even in comics where knocking him out or hitting him with the tranq doesn't work as well, Wolverine still has reasons to do something stealthily. Yes he can rush into a room full of gunmen and cut loose, but that's also a big screaming alert for the enemy that the X-Men are here, or that Wolverine is here to kill the big bad, so it's time to flee the reach of his claws.

[@freddyrueger]

Andrew's confidence is astounding. The way he can pretend to know everything and never take criticisms or corrections about anything is impressive.

[@HolyBiscuit69]

Wow quite an amazing and eye opening comment. My favorite part was when you used specific details, provided evidence, and totally didn’t generalize your feeling statements and provided it as fact because you have a mentally Ill obsession with whatever video game/tv show/cum sock he made fun of. This was quite insightful

[@thecoedbutcher52]

​@ayyladin352 I know this is literally the person talking about eating shit and getting updoots like they were making fun of in this vid. Someone can spit such a stupid opinion out and get likes because other morons found the comment and liked it too.

[@James26285]

That's why he's so insufferable and annoying to listen to. He'll never take the L, he always has to have the last word, and he always comes up with some dumb ass quipy comment

[@loirigudo]

andrew the kinda guy to have only superficial knowledge in most topics but confidently presumes he is the smartest person in any room he walks into redditor behaviour

[@antdiamond64]

I think the stealth scenes will work by Wolverine having to save hostages, and if he’s caught, they get killed, so he has to rescue them without being seen.

[@coheteos]

Still, it would suck gameplay wise, you can put a regular person on that if thats the case, its a wolverine game after all

[@darthrambo1454]

I think it would be lame to have more than 1 or 2 hostage situations in a wolverine game

[@vinnyvanhoe5614]

Or just make a fun action game that doesn't involve boring ass padding and pandering

[@thecoedbutcher52]

If the stealth is anything like gotham knights, I'd much rather not play that. I'm honestly tired of stealth. It kinda just makes it so on higher difficulties(and my basement dwelling ass always plays the highest difficulty) you have to stealth. I'm not bad at these games so when I fight a big group i just walk through them. It's only fun to stealth because the gameplay for non stealth is boring. Especially in spider man where the hardest difficulty feels like it's made for 5 year olds. Like no wonder people like it. The gameplay is so easy. They can shut their brain off and let the game play its self

[@ericwalsh2954]

Morality system where not caring about civilian casualties makes wolverine become more animalistic (cause that's arguably the version your playing) locking off abilities he has when he's not on demon time (mabey his tracking power gets changed so he can only see things he gets the scent of directly instead of whatever version of detective mode they have) would be the best way to do it

[@ember-brandt]

53:07 - Kaya cracking up to the point of a full-blown _WHEEZE_ during Jackson's toilet guard story had me dying lmfao

Andrew, as a Chicago native, I can 100% tell you that man was homeless and had made that toilet his "squat" and felt he had more claim to it than you. Avoid public shitters and only use the code-locked ones at Dunkin & Starbucks.

As a canadian aboriginal from the tride the wendigo came from. Im ojibwe and cree(wendigo comes from the algonquin tribes. Both ojibwe and cree are algonqiuns i believe) My culture was nearly erased. I dont care who tells our stories or why they do. I just want more people to know them. Theres not many Natives anymore. I would love for our dying culture to be brought back to life. And if that means letting other races join in thats fine by me. Its super messed up and racist to attack someone for liking something based purely off of race. It just goes to show how the people on the "good side" only care for your skin tone and nothing more. I'm not a person to them. Im just another brown dude they can speak for.

[@eddy7346]

That's the most odd part. These are the same people that rave about how racism is the biggest problem in the world while being racist themselves? "You can't cover this because you're white and that's appropriation," doesn't sound very inclusive now does it? As for you and your culture, me and my buddies love the story and history behind the Wendigo and other native legends and I like to think that everyone else in the world that is intruiged by them feels the same.

[@ambientlightofdarknesss4245]

It also sounds EXTREMELY pretencious that no one can use your culture? even in a non-derogatory way. even speaking the word wendigo is some sort of slur to sensitive natives. imagine if a white dude said to a black guy he can't use santa because it's "Special" and "Sacred". it's also hypocritical since I'm 99% sure all natives in america still consume culture that isn't their own. to a non-american it just sounds like a 1st world bastard complaining their ice cream fell on the curb. also a known culture is a respected culture. Islam and Muslim and Bhuddist beleifs aren't known in america. thus they are misreperesented more, or just are outright unknown.

Wolverine is unironically incredible at stealth in comics

[@dj.big0]

To be fair Wolverine is unironically incredible at whatever the writers need him to be at the time. And no, it's not every superhero ever. This is a problem with comics but there are superheroes that have consistent power scaling across multiple stories. Invincible comes to mind.

Okay Andrew makes good points about the Spider-Man games having pointless parts, but those parts are literally non-existent in normal gameplay, they’re just there to be in between fights. That mashing Triangle to stop a car, that’s a 5 second period between chasing down the car and fighting the occupants of said car, and chasing the cars is pretty fun because web swinging is fun, and that’s all chasing the car is. The combat is a ton of fun and the ways you can make use of all Spider-Man’s tricks and gadgets are pretty creative and juggling a crook in the air while you beat the piss out of him will always be hilarious. The stealth parts are kinda tedious after a while, but there’s literally like 3 missions in the entire first game that have mandatory stealth, get through those and the other 20 hours of gameplay will still be a ton of fun.

[@mothman6895]

[@chiefbeef9905]

Tbf unless your into his comics his stealth is never really shown. In most of his mainstream appearances he's just big dumb muscly violent guy, kinda hard to be upset at them about it just because they only know Wolverine from his/ the x-men movies, when only people who read marvel comics are actually gonna know how he should be being portrayed.

[@Inebriated_Goat]

Related poop story: we had a serial pooper in middle school who for 3 years straight would periodically go to the bathroom and smear shit on the walls. Believe it or not they got away with it until the last year of middle school where I think they got caught but the identity was kept secret from the rest of the school. I only moved to the school in my 8th grade year and had been told it was going on for years before I moved. Also it was a VERY rural small town so they didn’t have the means to do a whole investigation to find the serial pooper

At least I would make the argument that a lot of the criticism of people like Andrew brazenly saying incorrect things or Kaya having said some borderline sexist/racist shit before, not to mention he’s a bit of a contrarian and most of his opinions seem to be whatever the opposite of the norm is -- those are all legitimate criticisms and for anyone to say it’s jealousy or it’s not based in substance is disingenuous

but the point of having stealth is to be safe whilst maximizing efficiency in combat, a good example for this is the Punisher (He's loud but still stealthy), it doesn't make sense when a character can regenerate from a single atom, gets into constant fight with heroes like Hulk all the time, and can slice up enemies like butter.

Guys, Wendigoon is being cancelled for his ties to the Boogaloo Boys, a far right extremist group, and for the fact that he heavily downplayed religious trauma saying people who have it are overreacting. He has even gone on record saying that some genocide is okay like when God did it in the bible.

[@AgonyG59]

Sometimes I realize the boys have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about. Wolverine is one of the sneakiest characters in the marvel comics. Whether it’s US, Japan or even Madripoor

[@wolfiemuse]

I’m going to change your experience of this podcast and I apologize but: every time something is incorrectly stated, see who was the one who said it first. It’s usually Andrew and Kaya

[@rainydaytales1806]

Fuck yes. About to clean my house perfect timing

[@notribadsvault]

Wolverine does stealth and stalking people all the time in the comics, he’s way sneakier than spider man

[@galanga21890]

wolverine is like 3 feet tall and has similar sensitivity to noise and smell like sabretooth I believe, dude makes a great stealth tracker in the comics. kind of disagree with andrew's take on spidey's gameplay, but it could for sure be improved. to this day i'm surprised no one's tried to replicate and refine Web Of Shadows' combat system, weaving between the red and black suit for combos and switching from ground to wall combat on a whim was fun af.

[@KorokuGaming]

The Spider-man games aren't bad, and Spider-man 2 is fantastic overall.

[@ken131]

Guys, the GOTY race was between Baldur's Gate and Alan Wake 2 not Spiderman.

[@iceman4169]

Great 👍🏻 video nice 👍🏻 hype!!!!!!!!!

[@t.d.writer1589]

Jackson making fun of people making fun of unfinished Wolverine and then they proceed to attack the same unfinished for potential stealth missions. Stealth in stuff like Spiderman, BOTW, ect is just an option. If you want to play a potentially harder version for yourself. Obviosuly

[@thepiglin8231]

good podcast

[@ianlove110]

I agree

[@ANTLERQUEEN]

there is ZERO reason for the ad reads to be as long as they are

[@channelorsomething218]

wasn't wolverine like in the cia or special forces or some shit? feels like stealth makes sense for him if it's a hostage situation, not to mention his sense of smell being useful for tracking a specific target down.

[@richyLoLz]

what a silly episode this week, this was refreshing

[@brianweitman2456]

Stealth is never a bad option to have in a game as long as it's an option not a requirement

[@shaynetrimm5268]

Theres like dozens of reasons why Wolverine might have to use stealth. Hostages and/or the person/people hes working with or trying to help would die if they took a bullet, someones got a bomb, they're using weapons that can actually damage him. And yeah, he's usually out in the open, but he has been and can be stealthy. And in terms of why games have stealth: people like being immersed. If you HAVE to punch your way through EVERY situation it becomes less fun. Having stealth changes it up. It's one of those "if you don't like it don't use it" mechanics. It just seems like complaining to complain.

[@thenovicewhispers]

Or he's in a situation where detection incriminate his allies because it is a black-op. My favorite Splinter Cell missions were ones where you had to Ghost the whole thing because of potential diplomatic incidents.

[@mothman6895]

They really just be talking out of their asses sometimes

[@d_shuffles]

That intro reminded me why I have watched every episode of this podcast, Im autistic.

[@kel3059]

how can anyone like batman arkham it literally has the most unconventional crouch button ever 0/5

[@thedoomtestament4547]

You just suck lmao

[@viltsunr1474]

Nice 👍

[@Qwertzalcoatl]

Two reasons I can think of why James Howlett does stealth: 1. Professor X wants a World where mutants and humans co-exist, since Wolverine is associated with him, he can't let it be known willy-nilly that he is there everytime he is infiltrating a base even if what he is doing is ultimately just, cause politics and PR is a thing. 2. Even though he heals and is virtually immortal, it still hurts him and it can take time, he still would want to minimize damage that he could take at a time, so the less attention, the less lead and knives he has to face, keeping him agile and nimble at all time throughout his current mission.

[@luluna5228]

the hackers would honor their word, they want to show that they can make a deal lmao

[@BuenDude]

Um we already have a whole ass game where wolverine is stealthy with his heightened senses: X2 Wolverine's revenge

[@papascrumpeeh]

man the fanbois being triggered in the comment section alone is hilarious , the copium they vacuum since the awards🤣

[@e.t.h.a.n.o.]

MGS4 “pretty cutscene heavy” they literally ask you to save halfway through some of the cutscenes cause they’re so long

[@slowbrotbone]

this podcast doesn’t feel brainwashed by marvel into loving the spiderman games 😂 feels safe here

[@F0XD1E]

The Shadow of the Colossus comparison was great. One of the best games of all time imo.

[@shelby5809]

53:23 my school did that too except it was to find out who was pissing all over the bathroom floor lol

[@Flubberator]

its time!!!!

[@deadkampf4088]

Wolverine is literally a trained soldier, why wouldn't he know how to be stealthy

[@TheFakeGooberGoblin]

53:32 My high school my senior year had 2 instances of people shitting in the showers and a day wouldn’t go by you wouldn’t find a whole fruit in the swim locker room toilet

[@ZANGELIX1263]

Classic shit story: in my elementary school, we had a serial "mummy shitter". Said person would drop grown man sized logs on a regular basis that were always carefully wrapped in toilet paper like a mummy. So they removed each individual dook, wrapped them up, and placed them back in the toilet. Some bizarre shit. No pun intended.

[@sparkey9998]

Jackson just wanted to protect his friend, wendigoon. I know it's kind of the thing to shit on Jackson but the whole bit about giving it attention was too much.

[@TheLaLeeee]

Is Jackson the most prolific podcaster of our generation? He's on 3 highly rated podcasts at the same time.

[@_guavaanarchist_579]

Okay it’s crazy that Andrew thinks he knows so much about Wolverine hes a hunter and uses stealth a ton

[@Saulgoodman67677]

Bro why are they flaming Jackson for the Wendigoon stuff lmao. Poor guy I swear this happens like every 2 podcasts

[@charmzon]

I doubt he means to but sometimes Charlie just looks so unamused when everybody else is dying laughing it makes it even funnier

[@haupen5673]

andrew is wrong spiderman is good. doesnt mean i hate him though.

[@joshnunya324]

Different Combat Styles is literally X men Origins
