Wonder if it's because they wanted him to play the Vulture and he was like been there done that.
About god damn time. Can we PLEASE get someone Asian, like in the comics? Just do New Mutants if you need to fill your white guy quota.Rumor has it Fox is putting out casting calls for X-23, now that Jackman's ready to bow out of the Wolverine role.
Ooh! Ooh! I nominate Zhang Xinyu!About god damn time. Can we PLEASE get someone Asian, like in the comics? Just do New Mutants if you need to fill your white guy quota.
I think that was listed in the casting call, I'll have to see if I can find the article again.[DOUBLEPOST=1461291088,1461290973][/DOUBLEPOST]Well, this newer article makes it sound a lot more vague, but yeah, there you go.About god damn time. Can we PLEASE get someone Asian, like in the comics? Just do New Mutants if you need to fill your white guy quota.
*googles*Ooh! Ooh! I nominate Zhang Xinyu!
(Please take care if you're gonna google her at work, a lot of her pics are rather scanty. Not pornographic, but definitely risky if your boss is looking over your shoulder)
Wait, what? X-23 is asian now?Can we PLEASE get someone Asian, like in the comics?
My memory is fuzzy but wasn't her surrogate mother asian? I forget these days. Thought technically she should be a near full clone, only female due to incomplete DNA.Wait, what? X-23 is asian now?
I read a lot of comics, and have a pretty good knowledge of them, but those last two sentences.... I have no idea what that means.I don't know a lot about X-23, but her mother was Dr. Sarah Kinney (unless that was ret-conned), who had dark hair and green eyes. I didn't see anything about her being Asian, but she was drawn kind of ambiguously, so maybe?
Look, can we just skip the whole NYX/Zebra Daddy crap? That is some Frank Miller-level of bullshit.
I'm going to quote the Wiki to keep it succinct:I read a lot of comics, and have a pretty good knowledge of them, but those last two sentences.... I have no idea what that means.
Because it's not female character development unless they're sexually abused somehow. (I assume I don't have to explain the Frank Miller part?)X-23 surfaces in New York City and is taken in by a pimp named Zebra Daddy. She works as a prostitute who caters to sadomasochistic patrons. X-23 continues to cut herself with her own claws, is mostly mute, and proves unable to free herself from the grip of Zebra Daddy. Upon meeting Kiden Nixon, a young mutant with the ability to freeze time when in danger, and Tatiana Caban, a mutant who can take on the physical attributes of whoever and whatever she comes into contact with via their blood, X-23 starts to come to her senses. Although she runs away from Zebra Daddy, he tracks her down. With the aid of her new-found friends (and the mutant named Bobby Soul), Zebra Daddy and his thugs are defeated: X-23 kills him to save the lives of her friends.
Don't worry, lady, I'll handle it.Because it's not female character development unless they're sexually abused somehow. (I assume I don't have to explain the Frank Miller part?)
Frankly, I'm suspicious of any woman who HASN'T been a prostitute at some point. I mean, what's their angle? Right? Nope, can't trust em if they haven't gone on the game.Mid-aughts, when being a child prostitute or even just having a backstory with sexual assault made you a strong female character.
Googling it it seems she just has 2 Wolverine X-chromosomes... making her double canadian i guess.My memory is fuzzy but wasn't her surrogate mother asian? I forget these days. Thought technically she should be a near full clone, only female due to incomplete DNA.
And her center arm claw was surgically relocated to her foot, because someone thought that would be a good idea.Googling it it seems she just has 2 Wolverine X-chromosomes... making her double canadian i guess.
She also lacks the adamantium skeleton of Logan. While this means that she is much easier to injure, she also regenerates MUCH faster then he does because her body isn't always dealing with widespread rejection issues with the adamantium.And her center arm claw was surgically relocated to her foot, because someone thought that would be a good idea.

Nor does it have to keep replenishing her red blood cell supply. I believe it's said she could even regenerate an entire limb if warranted.her body isn't always dealing with widespread rejection issues with the adamantium.
Actually that one is funny, because he actually dies in it from having his heart removed from his body. Which wouldn't even slow him down this century. Then his blood gets on the mcguffin crystal that regenerates him from said blood. Which means there's a Wolverine body with a chest hole, and a Wolverine heart out there somewhere... well, i guess they would have rotted away by now, but there should be at least an adamantium skeleton.He regenerated from a single drop of blood, too...but I believe he had help for that one.

Heh. I have that ish somewhere.I still remember a comic from when I was really young during Wolverine's Japan adventures where he got riddled with bullets. The next morning he's lying in bed bandaged up and he lights up his cigar and the smoke is coming out of the bandages. His regeneration has DEFINITELY been bumped up. Hulk used to be the top end regenerator.
