It's been a quarter-century since we first saw Wolverine on the big screen.
What are your thoughts on this precursor to the MCU?
I'm feeling old. It took me a minute to figure out what Mulder and Scully did with Wolverine

Given what X-Men as a franchise is about, "Trust a few, fear the rest" has big "they're some of the good one vibes. Weird choice for a tagline.
When I saw it, I felt it was the first time that a superhero movie took itself seriously enough to have a good actors, a good script, and good effects. It put what had been in my head up on the screen, and in a way surpassed it.
...the first time that a superhero movie took itself seriously enough to have a good actors, a good script, and good effects.
Batman was a very good movie, but done in an extremely cartoony way. Nicholson's Joker was fantastic, but goofy. The X-Men took great pains to ground Magneto in the Holocaust.
Michael Keaton was a comedy actor and a weird choice. He was great but not a consensus at the time.
Captain Picard was great!
First movie I got for free when Google released their movie platform.
It was better than the first Punisher (1989) and Captain America (1990).
I disliked the leathers, but after seeing Captain America's rubber suit i understood it.
People keep thinking of the tiles, but this is where I got my username.
I tried but I can't figure out the connection
It's not said in the movie, so far as I can recall, but in the novelization (and comics). The Toad's secret identity is "Mortimer Toynbee."
Ahaaa! I forgot Toad was even in this movie. Played by Darth Maul, no less
A fun fact at the time!
Hopefully you didn't forget what happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning.
The same thing that happens to everyone else! (everything else? Eh, I'm close.)
Precisely, fellow Better Off Ted fan.
I tagged you too! :)
I'm famous!
Probably not many people have tagged me, but it's funny that at least two of the people who have have done so purely on the basis of me using user notes.
Back on Reddit, I met someone who proclaimed themselves schizophrenic and said that they used user notes (on discord at the time) to handle associated memory issues. I'm not schizophrenic as far as I know, but it still seemed like a good idea, so I've tried to do so since.
