Unpopular opinion: Hugh Jackman is annoying as Wolverine


He's become annoying as Wolverine. First of all his face looks like a wrinkled ball-sack these days. His scream is annoying. Wolverine is meant to be hairy whereas Jackman looks like a stripper from Magic Mike. Ready for a new Wolverine now, and not one that is more worried about injecting his buttocks with steroids and waxing his chest than portraying the character appropriately.

Well, he was never well-cast, but did the best he could. Wolverine is short, hugely muscular, ugly, hairy, and psychotic. Jackman is tall, pretty and skinny.

reply

he wasn't that skinny lol

reply

He was skinny fat in the original X-Men. Then he started injecting steroids.

It would be hard to translate that to film. Wolverine, in the comics, is 5'3. That's Pat Morita or Prince. Joe Pesci is taller than that. A 5'3, hirsute, unattractive character works in a comic book, but won't work in a film.

Ok, you're now tired of Jackman, despite the fact that like Wade Wilson jokingly said, Disney/MARVEL will keep Jackman around til he's 90. So, who do you want Cast in his place??

reply

Cavil lol

The short and hairy Wolverine (as depicted in the comics) wouldn't have gone over so well on TV.

reply

He wouldn't have been a leading man, but Wolverine was never meant to be a leading man. The public fascination with antiheroes and misanthropes domesticated him.

reply

I don't know, I liked him in the last 2 movies.

reply

Wolverine was also based on Clint Eastwood and Hugh looks like Eastwood, hence he and Doug Ray Scott were initially cast (bec they resembled Clint).

"Hugh looks like Eastwood"

Ive been saying this foreever.

YUP....UNPOPULAR IS RIGHT....JACKMAN ROCKS AS LOGAN.

I'm the complete opposite. I absolutely love Jackman as Wolvierine & always have but I've started to get sick of Ryan Reynolds & his shtick.

I've personally have had enough Reynolds sarcasm & quips. I see it everywhere. He mostly just annoys me now. Except for one or 2 quips, he annoyed me in this as well.

Again, just a me thing.
