Line 26:
=== The "Wolverine" segment contains examples of: ===
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: Wolverine's origin from ''Weapon X'' is included through small snippets of every major scene and its just as rich in [[Nightmare Fuel]] as the original story.
* [[Animesque]]: Jeff Matsuda, who did most of the character designs for ''[[
* [[Asskicking Pose]]: After Wolverine and Bruce Banner escape captivity, the Weapon X team all strike [[Asskicking Pose|Ass Kicking Poses]] before running off to hunt them down. Deadpool lampshades this by shouting "Strike a pose!"
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Wolverine is a Type IV, in the height of his pre X Men days and [[Not So Different]] from the Weapon X stooges. Hulk is a Type III. He saves passers by and only fight back is provoked, by lord help you if you make him angry...
Line 32:
** Real [[Nightmare Fuel]] when Hulk rips off Deathstrike's arms. The fact that she is a cyborg does nothing to reduce the effect.
* [[Bloodless Carnage]]: Averted. The Wolverine segment is the first non-comic appearance of the character to ''not'' use it.
* [[Continuity Snarl]]: According to [[Word of God]], the ''Wolverine'' short takes place in the same universe as ''[[Wolverine and
** It gets worse as Avengers: The Earth's Mightiest Heroes is apparently in the same universe with no proof except Wolverine having a very short cameo.
** Plus, in the DVD commentary they explicitly say at the end that {{spoiler|Sabretooth is dead}}.
Line 47:
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Lady Deathstrike can run circles around the Hulk. He ends the fight with a single [[Shockwave Clap]].
* [[Good Thing You Can Heal]]: A very good thing for pretty much all of the major characters.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Steve Blum]] continues his tenure as Wolverine which started with the ''[[X
** Likewise, [[Tom Kane]] reprises the role of Professor Thornton from ''[[Wolverine and
** This was also the start of [[Nolan North]] becoming Marvel's go-to guy for [[Deadpool]]'s voice (much in the same vein as the aforementioned Blum and Tatascoire are to, respectively, Wolverine and the Hulk), given he was set to reprise the role for ''[[Wolverine and
*** Though this came after, don't forget his role as Nathan Drake in both Uncharted games.
** Sabretooth is [[Black Lagoon|Boris]] and [[Transformers Armada|Unicron]].
** Likewise, Omega Red is [[Beast Wars
* [[Hulk Speak]]: "Hulk smash little man!" Okay, Wolvie's only 5'2, but there's no reason to go ''on'' about it...
* [[Lean and Mean]]: Deadpool's incarnation in the Wolverine segment, whom fans have dubbed [[Fan Nickname|"Skinnypool"]].
Line 66:
* [[Popularity Power]]: [[Take Our Word for It|While the final battle is not shown]], at the end of ''Hulk vs. Wolverine'', the Hulk is the only one left standing (and squishing Deadpool). In Wolvie's defense, he ''had'' just finished kicking ''everyone '''else''''s'' ass immediately before that.
* [[The Stinger]]
* [[Word of God]]: ''Hulk vs Wolverine'' is set in the same universe as ''[[Wolverine and
** It's a bit more than just [[Word of God]]; the ''WATXM'' episode ''Wolverine vs. Hulk'' has flashbacks to this movie, from both combatants. Though it gets kind of foggy when Logan has no clue who or what Weapon X is later on...
** Furthermore, the floating babies in test tubes includes X-23, Wolverine's [[Opposite Sex Clone]]. As we see in a future-set episode of ''[[Wolverine and
* [[The Worf Effect]]: A rare variation where it's the villains and ''not Wolverine'' who suffers from this. Probably helps that he can actually stab people. Wolverine is shown to kick Deathstrike, Sabretooth and Deadpool around with relative ease (in the comics one is normally enough to slow him down at least). Omega Red is the only one really capable of holding his own, but that's at least true to the comics.
Line 79:
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]:
** Loki is [[Uncharted|Zoran Lazarevic]] and [[Shadow Complex|Commander Lucius]]
** Enchantress shares [[Kari Wahlgren|a voice actress]] with [[Wolverine and
** Lady Sif shares [[Grey
** Hogun shares [[Paul Dobson|a voice actor]] with [[Inuyasha|Naraku]] and [[Fantastic Four:
** [[Nicole Oliver]] voices Betty Ross, reprising the role from ''[[Next Avengers]]''.
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: The ending theme to [[The Incredible Hulk (TV series)|The Hulk's live-action TV show]] gets one during the final scene.
* [[Jobber]]: All of Asgard takes this role, with Thor being the most prominent, and for his fans, angering example.
* [[Magic Pants]]: The Hulk always has these, but this time it's taken to an extreme: When Banner and the Hulk are separated, ''both'' are wearing the trademark purple pants. The things ''can duplicate themselves?'' Of course, gods and magic ''were'' involved...
