8 Great Characters Fox's Marvel Movies Have Completely Screwed Up

5. Wolverine

For what it's worth, I actually love Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. However, "Hugh Jackman's Wolverine" sadly pales in comparison to the character's comic book counterpart, and no matter how enjoyable it may be seeing the Australian actor in these movies, his portrayal will never truly be a satisfying one. Among the two biggest fan complains are the fact he's never worn the costume and is actually far too tall to play the character. Those are both valid (the scene teasing the classic costume which was cut from The Wolverine is just cruel), but there are a plethora of other problems with Wolverine. For starters, he's kind of an a**hole. His attempts to steal Jean Grey from Cyclops make Logan pretty unlikeable in places, though that's a minor frustration compared to how the movies have failed to delve into his enhanced senses and animalistic nature. We've never even seen a proper Beserker Rage! However, by far the biggest way in which Fox screwed up Wolverine is with his origin story. Everything from making Sabretooth his half-brother to why Logan decided to join up with Weapon X just felt wrong, while his memory being wiped out by what was essentially a magic bullet is unbelievably stupid. Yes, Jackman is great, but there's a huge amount of room for improvement.
