I find that the movies have overdosed so much on the healing abilities of Wolverine, I kinda got sick of him showing that grimace while his killing wound heals. I find that it's so much to a point that it makes Wolverine look bad and sucky as a fighter, and many a times he would have died in his enemy's hands if not for his healing factor...

reminds me of an anime character.. he pretty much get trashed in every episode, only win cos opponents didn't expect him to recover and strike back.

If I am not wrong, it's that Apocalypse was forming the Four Horsemen of Death again, and Sabretooth was his prime candidate. In additional, Sabretooth will receive the same adamantium upgrade Wolverine had to become stronger.

Logan is afraid that Sabretooth will become too strong, so he volunteer to fight Sabretooth for the position. He won, and Apocalypse made him his Horseman instead as well as a complimentary adamantium skeleton rebonding.

thanks for the detail explanation. :s12:

wolverine's mutant powers is that. without that he would have aged and died. regenration and keen sense of smell. note that adamantium is not his power. its a science experiment on him.

saying that would be akin to saying sick of iron man keep shooting missiles from his armour or sick of batman keep throwing out gadgets or superman keep speeding around.:s22:

Heh...I get what you mean. Just my thought that being one who's lived through centuries, he would have acquired plenty of fighting experience and knowledge of skills, but the movies don't really show that. He seemed more of bumbling and forcing his way through to his victories with his healing.

Ironman's main offensive arsenal are the tech and missles true, but it was often his great intellect in combining, creating and using them that made the difference in defeating the foes, which the movies do show. So I wouldn't expect much of him in the kung fu department.

Same for batman. Gadgets were more of a support, and it was often his intellect and countering enemies with the right tech and prep, and detective skills. The movies definitely showed him as someone who can stand his own as a physical fighter supposedly from his training.

Maybe it's just my wrong expectations, and not what the comic shows either...since I only read bits of here and there :D

I agree.

The comic also depicted a 1-on-1 fight between him and the Silver Samurai(human, not robot). Even Wolverine had to fight carefully avoid getting cut. The end of the fight was somewhat of a draw. Wolverine cut off the Samurai's hand, but the samurai stabbed him in the chest also. After awhile, Wolverine also went unconscious.

Put it this way: his powers allow him to regenerate back to normal. But any immediate damage he takes will still take him out just as a human would. E.g. his heart exploded due to a mutant's power. Wolverine will still "die" for a while, until his heart heals. In the comic this is how it works, not sure why the movie make until he is almost invulnerable.

In the comic, 1 of Wolverine's masters remarked to him in displeasure, "I taught you 10 different martial arts. Yet all you do is charge through a fight recklessly." (or something similar to that)

After watching this movie, I somehow felt it wasn't as good as the last or any of the x men movies.

for me i'm okay with wolvie's healing powers EXCEPT the one in x-men 3... where dark phoenix used her powers to disintegrate everything... it's ridiculous that wolvie's healing powers could withstand that... :s22::s22::s22:

now that you said it, dark phoenix also very strong. in the comics she is the strongest, only when Jean Grey fight it only then can they contain the phoenix.

actually every character must have some weakness :o

Overall, I am good with the show.

In a sense, is like Ironman 3 (and Batman), trying to show all r superheros with or without their powers.

Logan really has the determination and the ability to take pain :(
