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?

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.

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.

Captain Picard was great!

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.

First movie I got for free when Google released their movie platform.

I'm feeling old. It took me a minute to figure out what Mulder and Scully did with Wolverine

People keep thinking of the tiles, but this is where I got my username.

I tried but I can't figure out the connection

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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."

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ahaaa! I forgot Toad was even in this movie. Played by Darth Maul, no less

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.)

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Precisely, fellow Better Off Ted fan.

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.
