Logan (New Wolverine movie March 3rd 2017)

But the differences you list could all be the result of multiple time travel stories....

Probably. Either that or the result of multiple, different writers.

The bone claws were idiotic in both comics and film. We're supposed to believe that round bones are inside thin razorblades?

I love the Origin comic. One of the best reads of the 2000s.

*Brian Cox's X2 comment about the claws was filmed pre-Origin comic. Once Origin came out in 2002 & Lauren Donner read it, she made movie Wolvie's origin the same as it was in the comic.

So that means X1 and X2 aren't a part of either of the time lines you listed.

Also, in X1 you can see in the X-rays that Logan has a mechanical mechanism in his wrists when Xavier, Jean, etc. are study him. They even mention how the metal and claws are an experimentation.

It just means Lauren Donner liked his comics origin and wanted it added to the films. Had X2 started filming a year later, Cox wouldn't have said he gave him claws.

And X1 wouldn't have had this.





Three years earlier.

I see where you're coming from. Many sequels create little continuity gaffes with dialogue from previous films. Temple of Doom being a prequel to Raiders kind of messes up Indy's line about not believing in superstition when packing his gun before heading off after the ark. It happens because as has already been said, they're movies and writers often have evolving mindsets on where sn overall series stands from film to film.

And they are all jagged and gnarly shaped. There are no bones like that in the body. If they were natural claws they would be smooth like cat claws.

Yeah they had "knuckles" without accompanying joints.

They're the one thing that annoys me about the otherwise great DOFP.

In The Last Crusade he still didn't believe in the super natural either

 

[DiFabio]

The date in Temple of Doom always confused me as a kid. I didn't know what a prequel was and always assumed Temple of Doom was just the sequel to Raiders.

 

[Khev]

Plus they played TOD like a sequel since Indy seemed to be all cocky about trying to draw his missing pistol against th Thuggee swordsmen as if he was remembering Cairo. Very confusing.

I wonder how many hits the Mandarin's wiki page got the night IM 3 premiered so that internet warriors could make sure they were supposed to be outraged.

Good question but I bet 95% of those hits were from SSF members!

I always thought and still do think that the bone claws are stupid in both the comics and movies.

This.

His bone claws make sense. So without them he'd just be a mutant with a healing factor. He wouldn't be unique at all.

 

[cmiller99]

I respect everyone's opinions on here. Its a good crowd.

I don't believe you.

Yeah, I guess you make a good point......

 

[ironwez20]

Lol . Come on you guys didn't like origins the comic?

 

[RIDDICK]

It's not even the same Logan in each movie.

In X1 and X2, the Weapon X program with Stryker was in the 1980s. Logan didn't have bone claws (Stryker tells him he gave him claws in X2) and he was completely naked when he goes berserk and kills all the scientists and personnel in Alkali Lake. He loses his memory when he's submerged in water and the adamantium is grafted onto him (like Lady Deathstrike).

In Wolverine Origins, he has bone claws. Stryker is different, he undergoes the procedure in the 1970s and he loses his memory . . . from getting shot in the head later on. Cyclops is around at this time, somehow, and Xavier is already bald.

In X-Men: Apocalypse, it's the 80s. For some reason the X-Men are there (despite not being a thing until the 90s in the original movies since Cyclops, Jean and Storm are Xavier's first students. Logan goes through the procedure but has pants and that Weapon X computer visor thing from the comics and video games and runs into the X-Men.

This is how I feel about it:

I love the Origin comic. One of the best reads of the 2000s.

And this is the best version of Wolverine:

And that "best version" was in the 90's, before they even thought of doing Origin. Magneto stripped the adamantium off Logan's skeleton revealing bone claws. X1 and X2 were better than the comics in that aspect.

Walrus man there should be a Batman villain.
