The Wolverine Problem


This recent cover sums up my thoughts exactly. I've been watching Wolverine and the X-Men since it's on Netflix, and I'm getting more and more annoyed with how they're trying to sell me on Wolverine. I'll admit, he's an interesting character with a tragic origin. But many of the other X-Men have equally engaging personal stories that are often tossed aside when the raging Canuck walks in the room. This argument also applies to the films.


Other than it's Wolverine worship, the series has been a great mix of all of the varied version of X-Men lore over the years and still has me pretty engaged. The animation designs are great, obviously inspired by the current comics and X-Men Evolution. It also smartly focuses on the Days of Future Past story and involve my favorite X-Villains, the Sentinels!
Thanks to JimSmash for originally posting the cover and inspiring this X-rant.
