    Now hold on here…

    X-Men Origins: Wolverine
    X-Men
    X2

    It fully explains Wolverine’s power set, explains why he has no memory in X-Men, and puts a pin in the storyline with Stryker by X2.

    Folks HATE Origins, and I get it, nobody likes that version of Deadpool. That being said, it’s NOT the shit show that Last Stand turned out to be, and with this trilogy, you can safely pretend Last Stand never existed.

    The love story with Silverfox was sweet and touching.

    The battle by battle history sequence with Wolverine and Sabertooth was great.

    Even before the transformation, Ryan Reynolds nailed Wade’s basic trait as “the Merc with the mouth” before it all goes horribly, horribly wrong.

    The only thing it doesn’t really explain is how Sabertooth apparently got brain damage between the two.

      As a comic nerd I felt like I had brain damage after seeing origins in theaters. However, I do agree the major problem with the movie is the last act with “Deadpool” and the battle history was awesome. The video game based on the movie is awesome.
