The thing that mildly irritates me about the whole 'Wolvie heals too fast now' is that there's usually at least a plot-excuse for it. Magic. Alien tampering. Getting the adamantium out of his system for a bit. Getting the adamantium back in his system. Secondary mutation.
What's really annoying is when the plot-excuse is in an actual issue cited as being 'impossible' because that fictional fiction couldn't do such-and-such in issue X despite the fictional context spelled out around said fictiony fellow. Similarly, my annoyance at people who bring up the Invisible Woman's keyhole-four uniform as out of character, despite her spelling out every issue she wore it how she's trying to get Reed's attention, prove to herself she's still sexy and wanted, and to upset tight-asses since she'd been infected by her evil alter-ego, Malice. Wait, with the Wolverine-healing it's even worse, 'cause while character-traits arguably follow a rise and fall resembling an arc on the short-term, healing traits are not bound to any such. If Wolverine survives as a flaming skeleton and heals back all and good, he can. Such, the power of fiction.
Besides, these comics are all telepathic misdirection from the Marvel U keeping us from realizing that Spider-Man is prepping to enter our world and set himself up as Emperor Spider.
(Which is also misdirection from one of those Chalet schoolgirls who has similar designs on our world, but possibly without the spider-stuff and red and blue tights.)
Ultimately, the problem isn't knowing every issue under the sun, or being only generally familiar with a character and their decades of fictional existence. The issue, I figure, is whether to treat the whole set by plowwing along with change change growth change or to develop a default and stick them there so the movie's aren't contradicted too much and someone can read stories out of order or come in late without having to feel they've come in terribly late.
I kinda like the first model the best, but accomplishing both might be the true path to ficto-immortality. I mean, look at Robin Hood or the Shadow. |
