Every solo Wolverine story is exactly the same: he’s just trying to relax and someone from his past shows up and fucks everything up and Wolverine is like, “ I guess I gotta reluctantly kill people AGAIN…” And Patch is the dumbest poo poo ever.

the secret to writing the coolest characters is that you need to give them at least one totally uncool character trait. this serves to amplify the coolness of the rest of their character.

I think that story was the first time I realised wolverines weren't wolves too.KingKalamari posted:Funny you should ask, because after reading that I immediately looked up the stats for comparable X-Men characters Forge and Bishop (Why did the X-Men introduce 3 separate time travelling cyborgs within less than a decade of each other?) Forge isn't a time-traveller though (beyond the general thing where lots of comic book characters have time-travelled at one point or another).

Brocktoon posted:Every solo Wolverine story is exactly the same: he’s just trying to relax and someone from his past shows up and fucks everything up and Wolverine is like, “ I guess I gotta reluctantly kill people AGAIN…” What I find both very stupid and very rad about the X-Men in the 80s and 90s is that pretty much all of their stories basically amounted to "The X-Men are trying to relax when someone from one of their pasts shows up and starts making a ruckus". It's just kind of funny to me how the series eventually got so much lore tied up in it that the writers could just ignore any of the standard superhero plots with this team for years at a time in favor of just mining all the superpowered weirdos the cast had in their families and circles of friends. Doctor Spaceman posted:I think that story was the first time I realised wolverines weren't wolves too. Huh, you're right. I think my confusion probably comes from the fact that the 90s animated series showed him as being the other, primary member of the resistance from the era Bishop came from and then X-Men: Evolution portrayed him as a teenager from the 70s that was trapped in a pocket dimension for 30 years, so it just kind of got it stuck in my head that he was a time traveler?

Looking a bit deeper past my memories he was first "Le glouton", a Mustelidae; a correct but lame translation. They should have gone for "Carcajou". Then "Serval", a Felidae, which is fitting with the design of the character. Finally "Wolverine".

"mining all the superpowered weirdos the cast had in their families and friends" is basically 90% of claremont's run, and claremont set the standard for what the x-men should be. it just naturally follows. it's all the same poo poo thereafter, the x-men only had standard superhero plots while stan lee was still on it himself.

It's one of the chunkier types of weasel relative, like badgers. edit: Only today did I learn that polecats are a different type of animal, and not just a folksy name for weasels.
