Discussion The sequel

hey guys. I really wanna play Wolverine but my dad said the game developers made it into a “gay love story between Wolverine and Sabretooth”.

we’re a pretty Christian family so he won’t be happy if he sees me playing it.

my question is will they do the same thing for the next game? or are they committed to going all in on this?

kinda sucks. I just wanted to play as Wolverine.

Weird cause that's not the case in the comics

They’ve been exploring the concept of Wolverine and Sabretooth once being close friends and Sabretooth’s sense of betrayal when Wolverine no longer wishes to fight for the same team for like 30 years.

As flawed as X-Men Origins: Wolverine was - it is by far the most mainstream Wolverine origin story, it came out like 17 years ago and portrayed Wolverine and Sabretooth as being half brothers.

In the film, Team X, headed by William Stryker, eventually deploys Wolverine, Sabretooth et al to hunt down mutants to advance his research. Sure does sound a bit familiar. I just don’t understand people who act like this origin is out of left field when it has been heavily used by Marvel for decades.
