I get what he's saying, but...and you knew there was one. I hate to see Wolverine monopolize another film. Prime example was X-Men 2: X-Men United. Cyclops the Field Leader of the X-Men was in the movie like 5 minutes while Wolverine was pretty much there the whole time and had a major subplot devoted to him. I was like is this an X-Men picture or a Wolverine picture? It was more like Wolverine & The X-Men.
I get that Wolverine is a very popular character and that Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is equally popular, but sometimes less is more...or an equal balance of Wolverine in other movies can be struck.
The whole Wolverine piece by Drew Magary is below
I love Wolverine, and I love Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. But he doesn't need his own flick. Wolverine is the guy who pops into the movie every fifteen minutes or so, does a shot, says something badass, and then kicks some ass. That's the proper dose of Wolverine. Without a Wolverine cave or a couple of dead parents to mourn, you can't make a whole movie about him, much less a quasi-reboot of a Wolverine movie they made just a few years prior. Wolverine should just do cameos. Like in that new Woody Allen flick! That would be something.—Drew Magary, GQ Magazine
