It’s Comic-con season and a lot of stuff is being announced like an abundance of surprises and most especially trailers. Now, since Iron Man 2 just finished shooting and probably won’t be showing a trailer at Comic-Con, Marvel has something else up their sleeve. It looks like Marvel is tapping into the Anime scene with various popular characters like Iron Man and Wolverine. Watch the trailers and see if they fancy your geekbone.

Personally, I prefer the Iron Man trailer. Not just because I’m a huge Iron Man fan, but because the Anime look has always worked well anything mechanical or armor related. Giving Wolverine the whole Samurai treatment felt off even if Wolverine did spend a lot of time wielding a sword in Japan. The huge turn-off in the Wolverine Anime was the appearance of Mystical creatures. Also, Wolverine’s attire just looks too silly in my opinion. It felt more like an Anime that was ripping off the whole Wolverine look. If Marvel is going with this, the Wolverine Anime seems disappointing since Anime has always treated violence artistically. The Wolverine Anime is turning out to be just a hack and slash Anime which are the types that could get boring if it wasn’t supported by a great story.

I wasn’t expecting to be so disappointed with a movie that’s about one of my favorite comic book characters of all time, Wolverine.

I’ve been a fan of Logan since I was around 10 years old. I really liked his personality of being a mentor (to Jubilee), a protector, and a being of great rage. Yet, all of these are because of his one weakness. His amnesia, the loss of his memory rendered him to become so bitter and lonely. He needed something to occupy his mind and that’s why he fights. He fights to remember. He fights to find out why he is who he is.
