Wolverine: a review.
I have a new OTP (movie-verse only) an it goes something like, Taylor's gorgeous eyes and Hugh's long legs. *drools* Excellent casting choices, just PERFECT. ^__^
I'd like to start by saying Ryan Reynolds as Wade? *kisses fingers* MWAH! Beautiful! The banter, his SWORDS, the whole 'I-can-block-bullet's-with-my-blades-like-the-badass-I-am' was just too beautiful for words. This was indeed Wade Wilson - this was indeed the beginning of Deadpool. My merc-with-a-mouth. Mayhaps we'll get a Deadpool movie after this? We know a little thing like a slit throat was not going to kill him completely. More on him later though.
Also, the guy who lay the smack down on the tank? I heard his name as 'Duke' and like a dork, I completely missed out on who he was. When Wraith (black dude in the boxing arena) mentioned 'Dukes gaining a little weight', my mind just went - *SNAP* - "Fred DUKES - OH MY GOD, it's the BLOB!" Also, crappiest fat suit EVER. But just LOL.
Wolvie and Sabretooth have always been hinted at in the comics-world as being some sort of relation to each other. The favored one was always father-son, as in Creed being Logan's father. I kinda like this 'brothers' idea better. BABY WOLVERINE CRYING! See Wolvie sick. See Wolvie cry. See Wolvie accidentally kill his papa. Cry Wolvie, cry. ;__;
Okay, who was Zero? The only Aisian mutant of import I remember from my Wolverine run of comics (and yes, I have MANY) was... what the hell... Sunfire? The guy in the weird red and yellow striped bodysuit. Dude could fly. Only person I know with shooting skills was Bull's Eye, Deadpool (which, as we saw, was obviously not the case here) and some dude from Australia, Boom-a-rang or something. I'm ignoring the french 'Le Leaper' because he seemed to only hit his targets by accident. But either way, I loved him, even after he shot the old people in the barn.
Speaking of which, the military trucks and the plane going bye bye? That was PRETTY. I demand screencaps of Wolverine walking away in a blaze of orange hellfire. Icons, people, where are the icons?
Kayla, now, she threw me for a loop. At first I was like, 'SIlver Fox!!!' and then I was like 'Yuriko!' and then it was 'Japanese lady he married years ago!' Then I thought of Viper but remembered this was a prelude to the X-abominations, and so Viper doesn't exist in this world yet. But commanding people via touch? No idea. Her sister though, chick with the diamond hard skin, I know who she is. HELLOOOOOOOOO Alpha Flight! I didn't know she had a sister. So. Many. HINTS.
Also, the whole 'serving your country' thing. I do not like the implications that Wolverine is an American-turned-Canadian. He is the only famous Marvel hero we have and he's the baddest of the badasses - he's OURS. He is Canadian through and through, I don't give a damn WHAT the move execs try to pull.
Also, my god, I saw a Canadian flag in an American movie. ^____^ I can't recall the last time I saw such a thing. Canada always seems to disappear off the map when worldly things happen in movies. I was wondering why every army in the world was called on during Independence Day to fight the aliens but Canada was ignored. Oh well. Back to the pretty.
Yes, when I mention pretty, we can only be talking about Gambit. My only complaint? Where were my black eyes with red pupils? At least they glowed when he charged the playing cards. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the emphasis they put on his bio-kinetic powers! People have been speculating on his ability to manipulate bio-energy for YEARS - I swear there must have been a fandom-brat sitting in on the script-writing, saying 'Hey, let's do THIS.' If Gambit had shown empathic abilities, I'd know for a fact a fangirl was there. :D
Wraith died. ;____; Poor Wraith.
WADE. ;___; I knew his prettiness had to go away - Deadpool is famous for having a face even a mother couldn't love after the Weapon X program got through with him, but OH, his HAIR. And his MOUTH. He is the Merc-with-a-mouth - what comics sadist thought of sewing his mouth up and gluing skin over it? I was waiting for Wolvie to slash him a pair of lips. And ok, he can teleport in the comics - via a TELEPORTATION BELT. What was this whole, 'absorbing powers' deal? We've already got a dude like that In Gen X, LET'S BE ORIGINAL PEOPLE.
Still... DEADPOOL. I want to see him in his own flick wherein he gets free of Stryker's control, gets his mouth repaired, and becomes the wacky, snarky, merc-with-a-mouth, insanely crazy murderer we all know, love and adore. If they do not give him his black and red costume I shall cry bitter, bitter tears. I also want Weasel and Blind Al to show up. Hey, maybe Weasel can be the guy that cracks the computer programming in Wade's head? He is a techno-genius, and it would be a great way to introduce how they became friends in the first place.
Back to Gambit. GAMBIT. Remy Lebeau. The man so perfect I named my first car after him. CARDS GO BOOM!! He had his bo-staff - and dude, SHOCKWAVES OF BIO-ENERGY for the mother-f'n WIN. They kept his agility and his gymnastic moves - that flip to the catwalk? I was slavering like a dog, swear to god. And he flies a plane! ^__^ And he saved Logan from being crushed under a chunk of cooling plant tower. *squees*
And ok, Kayla died (boo hoo, let's move on) but Remy came back and the whole 'we gotta go' and the concern and the touching and YAY for pretty! ^__^ I've just found a new OTP, someone rec me some fics. I know they're out there somewhere.
Scott is a dork as an adult. He was just as dorkish as a child. Mr Sunglasses at Night. :D
And what the HELL did they do to Prof X's face? I know he's supposed to be younger here, but god, he looked CREEPY. Like they airbrushed and photoshopped all his wrinkles away and left a plastic mask behind. *shudders* YUCK.
I had a thought. I want to make a movie two hours long, of nothing but Gambit training and doing flippy things (with his hair loose, of course) and shots of Wolverine walking. While wearing those long-legged jeans and muscle tops. Patrick Stuart can do the voice over. These things combined will make me spontaneously combust. I'm sure of it.
I need to find me some Logan/Remy action right now. NOW I tell you. ^___^

Oldschool fic recs, so I think they hold up, but I haven't properly reread them for over a year so I can't be sure about that.
This will always be my fav Logan/Remy story... Logan's Experiment by O.
There is also this way hot sexclubfic. Games by Cheyenne Dancer
And if you like Jean, there is this Logan/Jean/Remy here: The Rough, The Smooth, & The Inbetween which is more doubleteaming than anything, but hotness.
