8 Amazing Comic Book Storylines Completely Ruined By Superhero Movies

2. Wolverine's "Japan Saga"

While James Mangold's The Wolverine went a long way in redeeming the character after Origins, this take on Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's classic Japan saga still didn't quite stick the landing. Considered the tale which defined the hero in the 80s and 90s, certain elements made it to the big screen, but the movie quickly devolved into typical blockbuster fare when the Silver Samurai was transformed into a gigantic robot! For whatever reason, The Wolverine was only willing to commit to the Japan saga to a certain extent, and that's evident from the decision to cut the scene where Wolverine finally gets his classic brown and yellow costume (it would have been so easy for him to wear that in order to battle the Silver Samurai, it's infuriating). For that reason, this still mostly decent movie was robbed of the chance to ever come close to the comic!
