Looks pretty f***ing awesome!
Wolverine Trailer
equal parts cool effects to equal part "Twilight effects" make me hesitant about this film...
And yes by Twilight I mean that abomination that every female under 30 years of age seems to go as crazy about as if I lit their favourite pair of shoes on fire.
This looks bloody awesome can not wait for this, i just hope they have not shown the best parts in the trailer as they do with most movies. And did i mention Deadpool and Gambit woo hoo.
Looks like a watch for me
In related news I just found out that "Wolverine and the X-Men", the latest X-Men cartoon, is screening at 8.15 Sunday mornings on Channel 2.
Yeah I saw the ad for that before, might have to set the VCR, do you know if it's starting this week, Paul? Or has it been on for a few weeks now...Quote:

Yeah, apart from the Dark Knight himself, X-Men have always been one of my favourites! Can't wait for this one either!
In more related news, the original cartoon is being released on dvd (FINALLY!!! :rolleyes:) This cartoon was brilliant!!!
HOLY SH*T!Quote:

So which continuity is this film in?
Same as the Xmen films although it's looking like they retconned Sabretooth.
Ive got all these on VHS. About 16 or so tapes I reckon. I should sell them before word gets out about the DVD release....:oQuote:

I've heard it's in the same continuity as the X-Men movies but is like prequel or something, explaining Wolverine's origins.
SNIKT-SNIKT!!
Didn't Wolverine live in feudal Japan at one stage? I'd love to see that in the movie.

Bucky had something to do with it I think.
Can't remember, only read it once, and I was pressed for time.
That trailer looks good anyway. I'm certainly up for it.
i'm definitely after this movie after realising it last year that it will be out in May this year! can't wait....
It's pretty good, I've seen the first dozen or so episodes, animation is reminiscent of the Spectacular Spiderman (which is on Saturdays before Tf:Animated.) Season 2 has just started airing in the US.Quote:

I have been watching Wolverine and The X-Men and it is indeed surprisingly good. Not as good as 90s X-men because this time things such as discrimination and public violence against 'racial' groups is much more toned down due to modern sensibilities but the stories are still well written. Bob Forward from Beast Wars also wrote a few episodes.Quote:

My bad typing, I meant that Spectacular Spiderman has just started Season 2.Quote:

Or do you mean that the writers have left it out because Americans have (until recently?) been much more xenophobic and if they included acknowledging people who are different are actually okay, viewers would have turned off?
I liked the 90s cartoon but mostly I was despairingly noticing all the places it interpreted the "real" X-Men stories wrong. Nowadays I can see it like the movies or Ultimate X-Men as a retelling. But I still cringe when people refer to the X-Men Animated Series cartoon as canon (I have over 800 comic books that say it isn't! :p ).
The new Wolverine movie should be alright and I'm glad it's a prequel to the other movies. I hope they do the Magneto prequel too.
I'm trying to collect all Uncanny up to issue #400. After that it got too commercial and turned to crap. I just really love the Chris Claremont stuff. That's the 'real' Xmen to me.Quote:

That'd be pretty swell.Quote:

IMO.....

By issue #400 you're 120 issues past his depature (minus the 15 or so issues from his short return to Uncanny) :oQuote:

About time Gambit appeared, would have liked to have had him play a part in the Xmen series, but I think he would have clashed with Wolverine as the "reluctant hero" a bit too much.Quote:

I think he means that it had the racial stereotypes in it, and it would be considered politically incorrect to show such things.Quote:

I mean the cartoon played on the realities of discrimination against minorities groups or people who are different in human societies. That was a reoccuring and prominent theme in 90s X-men which is much more toned down this time around and less direct.
The 'racial' discrimination themes in X-men is societie's fear against mutants and in 90s X-Men you had radical groups such as 'Friends of humanity' and so forth which seriously discriminated against them and somewhat reflected similar issues that exist in all human societies.
Ah it's a shame then that this element has been downplayed in the show, as for me personally I'm an X-Fan because they are the superheroes I most relate to because of the prejudice they face.
*nods* I agree. I think the single most important theme in X-Men is its social commentary on discrimination/prejudice; and not only racism, any kind of prejudice. Sir Ian McKellan (Magneto) said that as a gay man he could relate to the prejudice theme in the X-Men films. I think one of the most powerful lines in the movies was in the first one where Magneto points out to Rogue that as a Jew who survived the Holocaust he witnessed his family being persecuted for simply being born different to those in power. I like how he specifically said "those in power" and not "the majority" as it also includes things like apartheid where a minority who happen to have political power discriminate against a majority.
I feel the same way about the G1 Transformers cartoon! :p But at the end of the day I accept that the G1 cartoon is canon too - just different from the comics. :)Quote:

Yeah well your lot deserve the prejudice they come up against in society. Goddam Dept. of Transport employees. You should all be thrown in concentration camps and your messiah the evil Kosky put on public trial.Quote:

Hot damn. I got this a few years back off of eBay b/c it jsut wasn't around Will get it again though. It was what got me into comics and is one of my favourite cartoons. Its got one of my favourite cartoon stories ever, the multi-part one where Apocalypse takes the Axis of Time. That was just loads of awesomeness.Quote:

I loved watching X-men before school back in the day, was awesome. I always used to watch all the credits to see the characters in 3D haha, and how awesome was the intro song.
I was going to get the episodes via... other means, but hopefully they release them all on DVD because I will definitely be buying them
