X-Men Origins: Wolverine: Difference between revisions

 

Thanks to the [[Healing Factor]] that conveyed near [[Immortality]], the execution merely "tickled" Jimmy and Victor, allowing [[Knight Templar|Colonel William Stryker]] to exonerate them of their war crimes and recruit them into a [[Super Soldier|squadron of mutant warriors]] that performed morally reprehensible tasks for the American Government. Jimmy left in disgust to start a new life after one massacre of innocents too many, with Victor [[Ax Crazy|enjoying]] [[Blood Knight|his job too much]] to go with him. Victor's twisted mind took his beloved little brother Jimmy's departure as abandonment, and this he did not take too gracefully...

* [[Depleted Phlebotinum Shells|Adamantium Shells]]

* [[Added Alliterative Appeal]]: [[Stunt Casting]] [[Ryan Reynolds]] as Wade Wilson. (Which even spills into ''[[Nolan North|the animated version.]]'')

* [[Aside Glance]]: Wade/Deadpool is constantly sneaking in looks to the camera. He has [[Medium Awareness]] as a superpower, after all.

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Victor Creed ''is'' this trope.

* [[Becoming the Mask]]: {{spoiler|Kayla, being blackmailed by Stryker into loving Wolverine}}.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Fred J. Dukes has a weight disorder. Try not to say anything about...

* [[Dies Wide Open]]

* [[The Dragon]]: Agent Zero at first, then Sabretooth {{spoiler|and Weapon XI}} later on.

* [[Dumb Muscle]] - Blob

* [[Empty Elevator]]: Very much averted - they're ''in'' the elevator, right in the firing line of two dozen mooks with automatic weapons... but it still doesn't matter.

* [[The Gunslinger]]: Agent Zero

* [[Healing Factor]]

* [[Idiot Ball]]: {{spoiler|Did Wraith ''really'' think he could beat Sabretooth bare-handed? The guy has a [[Healing Factor]] after all. Plus super-strength, enhanced reflexes and claws.}}

** Kayla: {{spoiler|She has touch persuasion, and never thought to use it on Stryker. Instead, she ''ran past him'', where she was captured by Victor. She also trusted Stryker would free her sister after he ''blackmailed'' her, and only caught on to the fact he was using her at the end.}}

* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Wade Wilson/Deadpool{{spoiler|/Weapon XI.}}

** Although as {{spoiler|Weapon XI}}, the swords he uses are not katana.

** In the comics it is explained that when Wolverine experiences particularly traumatic moments, his brain mentally 'heals' around the memories of that moment. Traumatic memories could include having to watch the woman you love die/betray you, watching all of your friends and family members get killed, undergoing an intensely painful medical procedure under no anesthesia or finding out your brother is now an Ax Crazy mad man.

* [[Losing Your Head]]: {{spoiler|Deadpool.}}

* [[Playing With Syringes]]

* [[Pragmatic Adaptation]]: In the comics, Fred Dukes A.K.A Blob, is a mutant who's specific abilities seem to revolve around being morbidly obese. In the film however, Dukes is physically fit until he develops an eating disorder, but his super strength is what allows him to carry his own weight.

* [[Present Day Past]]: The movie certainly doesn't look like it takes place 20-30 years before the main X-Men movies.

* [[Psycho for Hire]]: Victor Creed.

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Or in Gambit's case, Pimptastic purple silk.

* [[Retcon]]: ''Origins'' introduced a few to what was established in the first three films.

* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Pretty much the whole point of the movie.

* [[Rule of Cool]]: The movie is generally considered at its best when it remembers that it's about Hugh Jackman running around stabbing people in the face.

* [[The Runaway]]: In the beginning of the film, young James Howlett/Logan/Wolverine and Victor Creed ran away from home together after James stabs and kills Thomas Logan for murdering his father, then finds out that Thomas was his real father.

* [[Skyward Scream]]

* [[Smug Snake]]: Stryker

* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: The look on Wolverine's face when {{spoiler|Blob told him that Stryker was performing experiments on mutants}} and when he {{spoiler|realizes what led him to willingly get his brand spankin' new adamantium skeleton}}... priceless.

* [[Vapor Trail]]: Wolvie ignites a spark with his claws. The fire travels up the trail of fuel leaking from Agent Zero's downed helicopter.

* [[Wolverine Publicity]] - The first X-Man so popular that he gets his own movie. Also features fan-favorites Deadpool and Gambit.

* [[You Said You Would Let Them Go]]
