One thing that I have always liked about Wolverine is his multi-faceted personality. I particularily like those moments when Logan is being a complete smart-ass. Every once in a while he will just let go with some snide verbal quip to Cyclops or someone that kind of puts the situation in perspective. It reminds me of Dean Winchester from supernatural, Spike from Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, or even Martin Riggs from the Lethal Weapon movies. In all four cases the characters are complete bad-asses and they know it, but they will shoot off some verbal zinger to let you know how silly they think a situation is and that they are not taking it totally seriously.

Love this. I'm totally in agreement. You're a Supernatural fan too, eh? Yeah, Dean's the greatest. |

I am mostly a fan of the first two seasons. I still like the show a lot, but I would like to see Sam and Dean take on other types of monsters. I am getting tired of every monster they come across being a demon. Dean is the coolest though. It seems to be a trend in recent tv shows where something will happen during the course of the story and one character will comment on the action/situation and say almost exactly what the viewer is thinking. |

Goes with the whole cool and arrogant sort of personality. Sometimes you just have to put people in their place when they are being uppity. |

It also helps work against the cliches. So much has already been done that the viewers are thinking, "Oh, this again." By letting the characters give voice to their own realizations of being in a familiar sort of situation it helps pull the audience in and makes it less cheesy. |

I love watching an episode of Supernatural and something lame will happen on screen and I will think to myself, "Well, that is just stupid." Then Dean will echo my thoughts on the situation by saying the exact same thing. Dean is also my favorite because he is a character with so many vices, like beer, junk-food, movies, classic rock, women (i.e. strippers and porn on occasion). Wolverine is like that for example when they first met Kitty Pryde and took her to the local malt shop he stood off to the side reading a Penthouse magazine. I think Logan was also the first character in comics to be depicted as regularily drinking beer? Maybe the Thing did it first, but I am not sure? |

No argument there. I was just thinking that Wolvie was really one of the first in Marvel to be shown drinking on a regular basis. I could be wrong though. |

Plays Logan on TV!

Maybe the Punisher? Could be. I think that Logan is the most identifiable with a beer bottle. Punisher and Stark seem to stick to hard liquor. |

I think Wolverine was first depicted drinking way back in the 1970s comics. Perhaps Ben Grimm was depicted on panel drinking earlier, but I am not sure. These days it seems like any depiction of drinking, smoking or sex in any enertainment medium automatically draws the wraith of the political correctness police. |
