As a guy who had EVERY Xmen from ish 94 - on; and being a sucker for the Marvel sub-branding aesthetic, I have to say the concept and content of the film package is weak. I was never a fan of the Hollywood casting job - Always wonder'd why Jason Statham wasn't WOLVERINE (cos he's short! and BAD!) Don't much like the Aussie ... and we need a REAL African for Storm. (ay yi yi ..)

IN the first X Men movie it seems that Scott Summers/Cyclops meets Wolverine for the first time yet in Origins Wolverine saved him as a kid from the island.

i have always loved the x-men most especially wolverine because of his unique but powerful powers. when they made this film, me and my family really watched it. great movie effects, fantastic actors and wonderful story.

yeah, i haven't heard a peep about that Deadpool ending. All I saw was Wolverine in Japan.

2009-05-04T18:35:00.000-07:00

I never got the impression that Dog was Victor Creed. I DID read the issues (way back in '91 or whenever it came out) that suggested and then immediately afterward retracted the possibility of Sabretooth being Wolverine's dad. (I don't remember the issue numbers but it was an arc mostly about Albert and Elsie Dee for all you old folks).

At the time I was disappointed (I was twelve), but now I'm awfully glad.

NOT EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE RELATED!

There's speculation that Sabretooth is Dog Logan from Origin, but Paul Jenkins has stated that that wasn't his intention. (Though he hasn't ruled it out if another writer wants to make it so.)

Originally, Sabretooth was to be Logan's father (kind of like how Mystique and Destiny were supposed to be Nightcrawler's biological parents) but that was changed after so many people guessed it.

A blood test later proved that Logan and Victor are not related in any way. Which will be retconned now that a movie has said they are.

@Rob-You probably saw the same one I did, where the head says "Shh" (everyone in my theater thought it was stupid). This is the ending I was talking about:

But I haven't heard of anyone else who saw that one.

2009-05-04T17:56:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since I've read Origin, but I don't recall there being an allusion to wolverine and sabretooth being brothers. Of course maybe I just blocked that out.. because it's a stupid idea.

2009-05-04T16:44:00.000-07:00

Yeah, the Wolverine/Sabertooth connection in the real Marvel U is pretty murky. There's some thought that they might be brothers, but nothing firm. Byrne wanted Sabertooth (who I guess was an Iron Fist villain?) to be Wolverine's father and be 120 years old or something.

Also, why did this movie have alternate secret endings depending on which reel of film your theater got? It's the late 00s equivalent of mid-nineties variant covers or something.

2009-05-04T16:03:00.000-07:00

"Origin" does allude to a family connection between Wolverine and Sabretooth, but it's very open to interpretation. I don't recall anything that makes the connection anything close to obvious.

Also, I saw the Deadpool ending, and if it's the same one Batgirl is talking about, it really doesn't clear anything up.

2009-05-04T15:37:00.000-07:00

And supposedly, that freaky white guy wasn't really Wade Wilson/Deadpool. Weapon XI was a clone or something...There was a secret ending that cleared that up (for the eventual Deadpool movie) but I haven't heard of anyone seeing it yet.

2009-05-04T15:17:00.000-07:00

Actually the only accurate thing was that Wolverine and Sabretooth were brothers. It was alluded to in the comic.
