IIRC Wolverines healing factor supposedly gets stronger the older he gets, which explains why he grew into a man before kind of 'stopping' there in the late 1800s.

That's something that never vibed right with me in the OML comic book.
He's looked like a guy in his prime for about 100 years now. In the comic, certain villains with no healing factor like Red Skull and Kingpin are still alive. The timeline couldn't have been that far in the future and yet Logan appears to have aged 40 years. |

He went through a shit ton of stress in the Weapon X program and didn't have that effect. That was certainly a different kind of stress, but his mind also has a healing factor so I don't like that explanation. |

He did slaughter literally every X-Man under mind control, so maybe that was enough to drive him into a deep depression and convince him that he was done. In the Weapon X program he was literally fighting to survive and escape.

Disagree. It seems like a far more serious movie than the past X-Men films and it fits the tone of the world Logan is living in where, seemingly, mutants have been mostly exterminated.
This is just as much of a going away party for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine as much as it is the introduction and origin story of Laura Kinney who becomes X-23 and then eventually assumes the mantle of Wolverine. |

I don't think they have the rights to enough characters to make a legit OML movie, which is probably a good thing because that line sucked. Hopefully they just pick and choose the best elements and moments to be featured in the film. Quote:
That's part of what's turning me off. Pseudo-dad Wolverine acting all angsty for an hour and forty minutes. Meh. His healing factor appears to have gone to shit too. |

I heard they had cast Caliban and obviously Xavier's in it as well. It'll be interesting to see other mutants, if any.
Also, I could have sworn Caliban was in X Men: Apocalypse. Lucky for FOX they've been putting out some good movies lately because they've really ****ed these timelines all up. |

(Weapon X had DNA stored but it was damaged and the Y chromosome was not recoverable... so they made a girl Weapon X clone). His healing factor gets ****y any time they need it to for a story line... I can get over that. I'm betting it will be something like his power is messed up because of his emotions over killing all the mutant's in Xavier's school. |

Probably right. Which is another thing I'm thinking will annoy me: he'll probably be all anti-violence for the first 75% of the movie. I'm probably being a little bitch about them trying to show the character's range and complexity but I like my Wolverine to be borderline murderous psycho. As for X-23 I'm pretty meh. Cool character and everything but if she takes over the Wolverine mantle who will care? Ignoring the fact that we won't see Jackman anymore, this appears to take place in a desolate future where mutants are nearly extinct. Unless they plan to merge some Cable/Deadpool storylines with her in the future I won't be able to get excited for it. |

Did they move away from calling them comic books?
