ONELASTTIME

Few hours ago, Hugh Jackman posted it on his facebook page telling his fans that this is his last time putting his claws. We all know that he play Wolverine from various X-Men movies and even having his own solo movie. Many fans are disappointed of the news since most of us don't like reboot nonetheless you are not good in portraying your character. As a long time Wolverine fan, I can't figure out who can be the next Wolverine because in my point of view he's the right Wolverine despite the height differences in the comics. And for #OneLastTime I would like to see him play the Wolverine in berserker mode especially there are speculations that the last movie is all about "Old Man Logan".

To anyone who read this what do you want to see in the last Wolverine movie? #ONELASTTIME

Wolverine is the best there is!

Wolverine is my favorite superhero from Marvel and since I was a kid I follow his comics, animated show, movies and other stuff. He first appeared on the last panel of Incredible Hulk #180 and his first full appearance was on Incredible Hulk #181 (cover-dated Nov. 1974). He was created by writer Len Wein and Marvel art director John Romita, Sr., who designed the character, and was first drawn for publication by Herb Trimpe. Then years after, Wolverine joins the X-men wherein writer Chris Claremont and artist-writer John Byrne would play significant roles in the character's development in the future. Frank Miller also helped Claremont to develop more the character of Wolverine by collaborating in a four part limited series wherein the famous Wolverine's catchphrase, "I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do best isn't very nice," debuted.

His main power is his healing factor that makes him near invulnerable and can heal from any types of injuries and his famous retractable bone claws that can slash anything ( I guess so) due to Weapon X program that laced Adamantium in his bones (Yikes). I don't know why but his costume always catches my attention. He looks like two Batman hahaha but that costume give angst and excitement in my veins whenever I see it. One thing that I like about this character was his attitude. He's not the typical hero that you can see in the comics. He's more on being an anti-hero and that characteristics paved its way and then he earns the title, most favorite X-men. He's a master of all forms of martial arts and is experienced in virtually every fighting style on Earth. I like it when he go berserk ( chillin and killin). He is also knowledgeable about many things due to his increased life span wherein he traveled around the world and learned different things in each place. Wolverine is frequently depicted as a gruff loner, often taking leave from the X-Men to deal with personal issues or problems. He is often irreverent and rebellious towards authority figures, though he is a reliable ally and capable leader ( Wolverine and the X-men).

So to give you more info., I would to share this infograph from comixology.com

The best there is!

Snikt! Last Thursday I watched another Marvel's movie for 2013, The Wolverine. Seriously I waited years for this movie because Wolverine is my favorite Marvel character. To give you a head's up, the movie was set after X-men 3: The last stand. Logan faces anxiety or somehow nightmare due to what he did to Jean Grey that's why if you watched the movie you can see Jean pops out every time Logan is depress. He goes on wild and tend to go alone but destiny seeks out when he met Yukio and blah blah blah.

Okay, in the film, Logan travels to Japan, where he engages an old acquaintance in a struggle that has lasting consequences. Stripped of his immortality, Wolverine must battle deadly samurai as well as his inner demons. I observed many things regarding the movie (Good and Bad)

1. Stripping out the healing factor - It's a good plot for the movie to do this so we can see what is the real power of the character when he is vulnerable. I read many articles that on the comic book side they were able to also do this. ( Check out Wolverine# 7).

2. Yukio - through out the film whenever I see Yukio I always tell to my girlfriend " si Charice oh cosplayer na!" hahaha. She looks nice and probably she will appear in the comics too due to the hype.

3. Wolverine is not that intelligent in this film- seriously? In the comics, Wolverine is fluent in many languages including English, Arabic, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Cheyenne, Lakota, and Spanish; he has some knowledge of French, German, Thai, Vietnamese, Farsi and Portuguese. Ogun taught him Japanese ideograms. You can see in the movie that he ask yukio what does it mean whenever he doesn't understand something.

4. Less talk less mistake? - kinda boring but if you watch just to see fight scenes it might satisfy your movie urge.

5. Silver Samurai- I remember my gf asked who was the robot, " Si iron man ba yan or transformers?". Why make it robot? I wish they do the original concept in comics wherein Silver Samurai is a real samurai not just another piece of junk in a suit. ( But the fight scenes are awesome)

WATCH IT OR WOLVERINE WILL SLASH YOU, BUB. 

A short glimpse of the future

As SDCC 2013 (San Diego Comic Con) finally unveiled teasers from upcoming Marvel products and movies, fans go wildly with the good news they bring to us. For this post I would like to focus first on "X-men: Days of Future Past".

X-Men: Days of Future Past is an upcoming American superhero film co-written, produced and directed by Bryan Singer and featuring the X-Men characters appearing in Marvel Comics. It is intended to be the seventh installment in the X-Men film series. The screenplay is written by Simon Kinberg, Matthew Vaughn, and Jane Goldman, with Singer writing the story. The movie is based on the 1981 Uncanny X-Men story line "Days of Future Past" by Chris Claremont and John Byrne. It is the third X-Men film directed by Singer after 2000's X-Men and 2003's X2.

Meet cast from Days of the Future Past.

Future Wolverine (of upcoming Wolverine movie) who travels in the past for his mission 70s.Wolverine who just escaped from Stryker's Island in X-Men Origins. Professor X and Magneto in future and Omer Sy as Bishop and Daniel Cudmore as Colossus. 

Halle Berry as Storm

 Lineup looks amazing what do you think?

Personally this sentinel head is what I am waiting for. For the past X-men movies, it's only a shadow figure and broken sentinel head that appears in X-men: the last stand. I dunno for the other fans but an X-men movie should compose of mutants and of course sentinels! I can't wait to watch this awesome movie.

X-Men: Days of Future Past is scheduled to be released on May 23, 2014.

Wolverine's claw is coming to town!

The clock's ticking and a few more sleeps another claw movie pops out. The Wolverine is an upcoming American-Australian superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Wolverine. It is intended to be the sixth installment in the X-Men film series and follows the events of X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). It's a good move that Hugh Jackman reprise his role and the movie is expected to hit in cinemas in July 25,2013 here at the Philippines.

So what's the commotion? Have you heard the " Be the Wolverine Kinect experience"? It's a good way of promoting the movie by adding Xbox360 kinect and act like the berserker hero. With the help of Robinsons Mall, every movie goers can experience popping and slashing evil doers in town. As a Wolverine fan boy, I'm expecting to catch a glimpse of this experience so I'll be waiting the activity here at Manila.

Let's hope for the best for this movie. Remember the date or else my claws are coming (kidding)

Pick of the week? X-men! (Product)

It's been a while since I read some comic books. So for this week my Marvel picks are Uncanny X-men and All-New X-men. As you can see both of them are X-men. Kinda confused??? There are many X-men teams and it has been divided from Wolverine's X-men team and Cyclops' X-men team. I love X-men since I was a child and my favorite is... SNIKT! Wolverine off course! Going back to my pick of the week here are some of my observation on both books.

In this issue of Uncanny X-men #7, Magik (Sister of Colossus) ended limbo. I'm a bit confused how can she control her powers right now. She took it to herself and ask for the help of Dr. Stephen Strange. As for the Cyclops' team, Magik send them back to reality and they are facing a change in the roster because Fabio wants to go back home. For the next issue, it teases readers with its cover featuring Magneto punching Cyke's face.

Next one is the All new X-men featuring Wolverine's X-men team together with Kitty Pryde and the young 1st X-men ( w/o Angel). For the first part, the book show us the phoenix which will also be the end. Next one is a flashback on how Wolverine track down Mystique and her own team. Mystique, Saber tooth and Lady Mastermind are using the young X-men identities for a massive robberies. Mystique wants to buy madripoor from Madame Hydra. After some chit chat between madame hydra and mystique, Wolverine enters the scene and you know what he does (Slashing). The others also follow Wolverine and fight the other Hydra soldiers. For the next issue Lady mastermind talks to Jean grey and do some stuff and that's the reason why the phoenix appears from the first part of the book.
