My least favorite X-Man? Probably Wolverine

What does Wolverine do that make him so important? Heal. Fight. Protect. Teach. Elixir Heals better and he can do it for others as well. Nightcrawler fights better if he had training and learn to use other weapons he'd be on par or better than Wolvie. On the issue of protecting. lol Did anybody see X-Men 2? I always said if the X-Men had left the kids in Nightcrawler's care nobody would have been captured. Plus there's the added bonus that the guy attracts blood thirsty psychopaths like Sabretooth, Deathstryke and Weapon X goons. Not that I'm hating on your hero (we'll I am) but like a lot of people (not just x-fans, avengers anyone?) I just hate it when Logan steal the spotlight from everybody. Be honest who thought Wolverine robbed the spotlight in the x-movies?

Leading the X-Men in their new cartoon was also another STUPID move. He's no way near leadership material especially compared to Storm, Cyclops or Nightcrawler, even on a bad day. Anybody thinking that he's great at directing the new X-Force don't even go there he's just filling in for Scott the real leader. I've also noticed that all the girls flock to the other guys Scott keep getting hitched with the telepaths, Angel sweep all the new girls off their feet and even Beast is constantly taken up with the humans despite his appearance.

The best thing about Wolverine is hands down the fact that he's played by the talented Hugh Jackman. In my opinion X-23 can do anything James can do better. She's just a killer-bred teenager but I imagine she will eXcel his standards in the future, more so when she finally inherit those heightened senses. In spit of everything I've said though I emplore you all to go see the Wolverine movie if not for Wolverine do it for:
- Hugh Jackman (he amazingly talented and the only reason I even have an ounce of respect for James/Logan or whatever name he's gonna get neXt).
- The future of X-Men movies (where hopefully Wolvie will be part of the team not the whole team).
- All the other mutants appearing like Gambit, Cyclops, kid Storm, young Emma, Deadpool, Beak, Agent Zero, Blob Sabretooth and Jason (William Stryker's son). [Is it just me or is this movie compensating for Wolvie's lack of strong storytelling?]
Anyway, just go see it so that other characters like Deadpool can get their movies green lit and the x-franchise baton can be passed on to more worthy persons. Besides with this much x-men the sequel could be lacking Wolverine. Since his real friends on the x-men (Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, Colossus, Jean, Cable, Rogue, Psylocke, Bishop, Forge, Juggernaut, Prof X, Jubilee, X-23, Domino, Marrow, Mystique) are missing. All things considered though, I'm confident this will be a very good movie. And remember ladies cheer for Gambit, Cyclops and Deadpool like you did for the men in Lord of the Rings so they get their own shot @ hollywood.
