Man has this been the year for Wolverine or what?! I mean the movie, the Wolverine game, the dvd, the posters and figures. It just goes on and one. But that's good right? When you think about all the lousy characters that have gotten way too much attention it's good that finally a good and gritty character was able to break out.
Not that the breakout just happened, I mean clearly as far back as X-Men 1 he was a fan favorite. But that probably has to do more with good casting than character love. As of now Hugh Jackman is really a people's choice kind of guy. His performance as host of the Oscars is testament to that fact.
So really the X-men at this point ar being propped up by Wolverine. And that's as clear as day when you think about the new cartoon TV show Wolverine and the X-men. That's the most blatant as you can get in terms of taking a team member who basically came late to the party and making him THE main character.
But I'm happy about it.
