Ok, what in the ever loving fuck is wrong with you people? Seriously, you make two fairly decent xmen movies that are focused largely on wolverine, then make a third thats wretched, kills off many of your best characters, and then focuses entirely on wolverine. Then you make a fourth movie. It's like porn. You start out thinking to add a plot and such and occasionally show some tasteful frontal. Then, realizing all people care about is the sex, you just make a video of naked lesbians going at it. And that's what wolverine origins was. Something for the wolverine fanboys to masturbate to. And now that you've made your money off of that, would it be too crazy to offer up the story of a character that has an interesting backstory and motivations? Maybe one whose internal struggle isnt based upon having claws for fingers and being kind of surly? For instance, Gambit, who charges everything he touches with energy, or rogue who drains energy from anyone she touches? Or, maybe the two senior mutants, Proffessor X and Magneto? What about Mystique who must have turned into some interesting people over the years and developed some odd identity issues perhaps?
But no. You go back to fucking Hugh Jackman to make more shit for the fanboys to jerk it to. The state of Hollywood these days just makes me sick. You'd rather use an overdone bland character to rake in money and cater to the minds of moronic twelve year olds than take a risk and make a movie that is thought provoking while still being an action piece. The first two x men films approached this with their focus on how Wolverine, a loner, made out while trying to fit in with a team and be accepted and bla bla. After that brief attempt at character arc, it was swept under the carpet for good. It stuns me that they're still flopping this flacid phallus of a franchise.

Yes Hollywood action producing is at its Nadir. I remind you of STAR TREK.
"I had a lot of different ideas. At one point, Luke, Leia and Ben were all going to be little people, and we did screen tests to see if we could do that." -George Lucas, in STAR WARS: the Annotated Screenplays (p197).

It's this a bit like saying Hitler is bad taking drugs? Yeah, it's not good but there's a lot of worse shit to blame him for.
