Wolverine + Gun = Jumping the Shark

[Speedy-D]

That picture is from Nam. Origins opening credits, one of the best scenes in the movie.

Low praise indeed.

He ran out of arrows?

[Jeffro.]

Adamantium bullets

 

You may be on to something here

 

 

[Speedy-D]

What am I missing!?!?!

 

Everything.

 

If marvel decides to kill off another character, they better not pull something like superior ss again. I can already see wolverine inside deadpool's body just waiting for millions of die-hard fans to riot

Fonzie would definitely jump that. giggedy

[Doc McCoy]

can someone please elaborate why one of the greatest characters of all time now supports a gun, lacks the humor of deadpool to wield it, and why any writer in their right mind figured a pistol would be great against something like let's say...... a sentinel

 

Maybe you'd prefer a "LASER" gun?

maybe his mutant powers will evolve to something like the juggernaut and sonic the hedge hog. since the world is round he will always be going down hill.

 

 

or maybe they take the mutant abilitys away and then they get the rights to movies back?

[1904 Comics]

so he needs a long range element and hes not a raccoon.......

 

cap's got a shield. thor's got a hammer. spideys got webs. hawkeye arrows.......

 

what about a sniper rifle hardscoping call of duty branded wolverine?

 

or even a noob tube grenade launcher to date himself back to those world war days but with tactical gear.

 

or what about if his claws became cybernetic projectiles. there's no reason iron-man couldn't have fabricated some long range thermal projectiles when he flashes his claws similar to guile's sonic boom in street fighter. i'd like to see the artwork on that one.

Yes, it may be from the Vietnam sequence, but techvoodoo is right - the shorter-barreled carbine M4 version of the M16 rifle wasn't introduced until 1988. And that looks like an M4 in the picture.

It is a Colt Model 773, which is also anachronistic.

Wolverine needs to be more careful now since he can be killed.

He will probably use it to keep enemies at a distance

Which likely sets up the inevitable fan-enraging storyline. Does anyone really think that if Wolverine can now be killed, that Marvel won't do exactly that?

 

I am very worried about the direction this is going. Although, nothing will ever be as bad as "feral" Logan of the 90's.

Oh, and:

 

[onemansdrek-migration]

a sniper rifle wolverine would be an exciting comic book. why havent they done one before

I didn't know they took away his healing ability before this thread, but that's the first thought that came into my head as I was reading it.

How about a crossbow from the medieval times with a state of the art sniper scope?

When the Modern Hacks started making Wolverine unkillable (especially that insane BS about him being able to regenerate from a single drop of blood - why aren't there hundreds of Wolverines sprouting up each time he has a fight ) and turned him into Marvel's Biggest Bully is where Wolverine jumped the shark.

 

Actually, it was the Bone Claws that officially did it for me with the character, but I think that was the same time they over-powered him because Magneto took away his precious Adamantium.

 

Man, the 90's were a bad time for comics.

Hell, rocket launcher wolverine sounds even better and sets up nicely for an action figure!

That's the problem, before the Modern hacks got ahold of the character, he could always be killed and he never carried guns around before.
