Hugh Jackman has sort of become the Robert Downey Jr. for Fox. What’s good about his character is he has a lot of appeal to the audiences to help promote the Fox Marvel movies to make a lot of money. You wouldn’t think the Wolverine character would do so well, but he’s doing very well in what the movies make for being Wolverine including in solo movies. There’s a lot of cool things they can do with his adamantium where they haven’t done the types of scenes of the capability of having an admantium skeleton. He should be able to knock men out with one punch (with his adamantium knuckles), and burst through some types of walls with it on. If it’s such a strong metal alloy then it should be able to cut through any wall. The strongest metal alloys right now have 1000 joules to 2000 joules per a gram. Kevlar has 78 joules per a gram. The alloys that are 1000 joules to 2000 joules per a gram can be altered to be 100,000 joules to 200,000 joules per a gram or possibly even more where the process is free, except that the man labor costs money. With nanites it would be free and quick except for the cost of nanites and programming, but there would be no labor to alter it to this strength with nanites except for what the nanites alter themselves. Unless that’s way stronger than adamantium and much more economically feasible. An alloy that is 44 joules per a gram can be altered to be 1000 joules per a gram. I think they get too dependent on Wolverine to where is the team work, and they could be a lot more creative with him. If they do his 1980 story in Japan with piles of dead bodies he creates he may not have much muscle because he’s been combating the poisoning of the adamantium (even though he has the healing factor) that explains X-Men in the year 2000 where he was lower energy. But he had the adrenalin of the pure berserker rage because of his post traumatic stress disorder from the adamantium infusion of dying and coming back to life, being chased by the governments, and with armies of marauderers on the streets with machine guns hunting him down. His character probably had to eat better to have a higher energy in 2014 or when The Wolverine took place. In X-2 he had some cool action sequences even though he didn’t have nearly as much muscle as he has now since The Wolverine. That’s the only problem is if they can reinvent the character angle with the same actor so that when they bring in new teams he doesn’t overshadow them, and he can get a new dynamic. I think problems he could be having are he’s not finding ways to shuttle in calories without it taking too long to eat, without it being a burden on his stomach, without finding ways to make food prep less time consuming, and without reducing prohormone amounts and cycles while having high quality foods that can naturally increase natural testosterone by atleast 400% long term. I don’t think his workouts are that long so he could be time efficient with his workouts. There’s ways to counteract the problems of aging to where he can have high performance and results up to 60 years old and after, but the issue is that it’s very rare knowledge that isn’t well known even by the top professionals (their advice sucks). I think that Fox’s Marvel could reinvent itself with New Mutants, X-Force, X-Men: Apocalypse, and with the direction Mark Millar wants to take it competing with Marvel Studios’s movies, and this is after Days of the Future Past was released in movie theaters. That’s where Wolverine could be a great aid. Another issue is that Hugh Jackman may not find the role to be fulfilling where he wants to take his career after this point and wants to try new things. If Fox doesn’t solely rely on him, with reinventing Marvel movies for Fox, then Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine could have new life because he’s not being solely depended on where audiences wouldn’t get tired of his Wolverine. Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine could also been in Sony and Marvel Studios’s films if Fox would just make sure to clean up their current Marvel canon or reinvent it with the current cast if they want to take it to 2028 and after, and they began in 2000. A lot of people in Hugh Jackman’s position would end it here, but with the proper knowledge he could continue his character but that all depends on the factors I mentioned. If solo movies aren’t creative enough for Hugh Jackman, then he could appear in a lot of the team movies like what Robert Downey Jr. is doing with Marvel Studios and Sony. Then when a creative Iron Man script is made after all of the extra plotlines open up with new franchises and appearing in them outside of his solo movies, he has a lot more options. There’s so many other movies that may need to fill up those slots, to where he can get the desired results from the team movies and he has the same financial success with getting creative stories in the Marvel movies he partakes in.
In order for the two Quicksilvers to be in the same canon I thought of how they could go with what they have now. Such as Jubilee, Psylocke, and White Queen. White Queen was officially in First Class, while what was almost White Queen in X-Men Origins: Wolverine became another character as the sister to Logan’s wife. Jubilee and Psylocke had very weak roles in the modern X-Men movies to where they could just count as other people that sort of looked like them, while the Jubilee and Psylocke in X-Men: Apocalypse would be the official characters. Nightcrawler may age well like his mother, who is Mystique, but he could have been in his 40s in X-2 while he’s around 18 years old in X-Men: Apocalypse. If time was altered after Days of the Future Past he wasn’t originally with the X-Men in 1983. X-Men: Apocalypse takes place in 1983. With Last Stand they could say that Pheonix was the Madelyne Pryor clone, and that she teleported all of those beings away to Nathaniel Essex (Mr. Sinister) without her knowing instead of vaporizing them including Charles Xavier. In X-2 after the end Mr. Sinister could have kidnapped Jean Grey, and Madelyne Pryor under the mind control, memory programming, and gene programming unknowingly teleported Scott Summers to Mr. Sinister in Last Stand to create the God mutant baby as a new vessel for Apocalypse. Jean Grey and Scott Summers escaped with Rachel Summers and have been in the 39th century, time traveling to different events, and raising the God mutant baby for 12 years. With Days of the Future Past that was an altered time event in the first place because of Tanya Trask and Rachel Summers, which the government becoming more strict on mutants causes Apocalypse to act early in 1983 but Mr. Sinister would still act through him as hidden from 2003 to 2006. Then with time changed the difference in the Last Stand event would be that Warren has the Archangel alteration. In 1983 Warren can be 17 years old, and in 2006 Warren can be 40 years old. He ages well because he’s rich. He had some issues with college university while attending even though he’s rich, because he’s a mutant. He could have gone on and off college university. Being older he made good friends with Cameron Hodge who’s a college friend of his. Then it’s a question if the canon is going to be changed such as removing X-Men 2000, X-2, Last Stand, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine from canon. Or just X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which depends as they’re talking about doing a new canon for Deadpool, and I don’t know how they’re going to do Gambit or if that’s the same Gambit. X-Men Origins: Wolverine could conflict with where they want to take canon because of Gambit, and fans may not like how they did Deadpool. I thought the movie was good. I thought of a new origin story for Deadpool that involves Wolverine, Omega Red, and Marvel Studios’s Hulk. I would remove 2008 Hulk from canon and have it to where he became Hulk at 13 years old in the early 1980s, and then Omega Red apart of the Soviet Union in the Cold War goes after Hulk while Wolverine gets the adamantium and Deadpool is put through a similar program as Wolverine. Wolverine and Hulk can battle, but because Hulk is just an infant his psyche is weak and he’s not nearly as strong as the power of Hulk is based on the level of anger and the level of intelligence. It can also show Grey Hulk first who’s more intelligent but less angry and less powerful than Green Hulk, but it can show Green Hulk too. Bruce Banner is the most intelligent of the three, and they can share consciousnesses which is what he does as Professor Hulk, Mystic Hulk, and Doc Green with Eastern and mystic concepts, and hypnotism. Grey Hulk is the most social, and has more of the masculine nature that counterbalances Bruce Banner’s more atheistic nature as a scientist more geared towards the feminine Liberalism as partially for hatred of the father figure like scientists who tend to be communistic minded psychologically. Then Bruce Banner can have such problems with controlling Hulk because he’s been on the run for decades by 2012. The story can also have the first Hulk, Tyrone Cash, who is Bruce Banner’s mentor originally named Leonard Williams. Tyrone Cash has a completely different Hulk transformation where he still has problems controlling it (at first before he adapts to it) because of the gamma drive, but he has his full human sentience. Joe Fixit can appear in 2016 or after as a much older version of Grey Hulk. Bruce Banner got into the research early in age because he was a child prodigy, and considers himself the 8th most intelligent human in the world of Earth. Joe Fixit wants to resolve conflicts and is more physically into them, and he’s rational with his mind where he uses his intelligence to resolve them but he still has some of the angry gamma drive. With two Quicksilvers, the 2015 Quicksilver could have had his genetic alteration based on the 1973 Quicksilver, while the 1973 Quicksilver was originally born that way so they can both be in the same canon. The 2015 Quicksilver was based on the original, but the 2015 Quicksilver wasn’t made as fast so that he could be more controlled for government purposes. The 2015 Qucksilver had some good mercenary training and specialized for his skills and abilities. Viper may not have died as she may have good healing abilities, if they plan to bring her in as Madame Hydra for Marvel Studios, or Viper can be a different character than Madame Hydra. Then Charles Xavier and Beast can join Illuminati, there could be a subtle link between the Superhero Registration Act, that’s happening now, and the Mutant Registration Act, that comes later. The Superhero Registration Act could have opened up legal doorways for the idea of the Mutant Registration Act to take place. Beast can also become a team member and planner for SWORD that’s involved with Captain Marvel Carol Danvers later into her canon. X-Men didn’t get involved with Civil War because they wanted to keep a low profile, but some of them did get involved with SHIELD’s superhuman program such as 2004’s Secret War (that’s the year the comic story was made, but in movie timeline it could be sometime from 2017 to 2022 of ongoing comic pre, during, and post Civil War what couldn’t be included in the Civil War movie as ongoing interrelated concepts) . I can see Wolverine getting into Sony’s SHIELD superhuman teams of that Secret War story. I would keep Wolverine separate from New Mutants and X-Force, because they should get into the late 1980s and early 1990s stories with New Mutants and X-Force (which also involves X-Men and X-Factor with the X-Skyscraper and Celestial spaceship of major stories such as Apocalypse, Cameron Hodge with Genosha, the time traveling and the 39th century, Stryfe, Island M and Asteroid M Avalon of Greymaulkin, and Onslaught), where the newer stories are really dull and unimaginative. New Mutants could become X-Force, and a new SHIELD version of New Mutants can be created that’s a link between X-Men and SHIELD. I guess they’re not doing the child team of New Mutants where I would have just had X-Force be Cable’s team from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. They could create another child team that Magneto runs as a professor for the X-Mansion going by his real name as Max (he’s kept his real name a secret out of shame of his past for events during and after the Holocaust such as the death of his wife and his daughter which both aren’t well known of. Polaris is a separate character). With the incident of Cameron Hodge the child team is short lived, some of them die, and Magneto goes mad creating Avalon. With the mutants of Earth none were safe where they were safer at the X-Mansion and had to learn how to fight early, with Cameron Hodge and the Mutant Registration Act so it was inevitable. Cameron Hodge takes it to many more levels above where Stryker took it. Other stories are the Savage Land, Mojo, Brood, and the Shi’Ar Empire. Savage Land could get into Storm’s hidden magic abilities, and her magic abilities combined with Forge’s can be very powerful, the enemy could be Shadow King or someone else powerful into magic I think was in part of the Fall of the Mutants story but I can’t remember, or it could have been another story. There was a story where Ororo when she was young, T’Challa asked her to marry him, but she may have not liked the overly complacent and hidden life of Wakanda where it’s too traditional in it’s old fashioned ways. For movie canon T’Challa could be too young for Storm if Storm is 16 years old in 1983, as the actor’s age for T’Challa for Marvel Studios Black Panther was 6 years old in 1983, and his father would have already had a wife around or before 1976 where T’Challa is a legitimate child birth. Storm could become leader of one of the X-Men teams while Cyclops and Jean Grey create X-Factor. Cameron Hodge communicates with a demon of Limbo. If Madelyne Pryor is dead such as in the end of Last Stand, then she can have gone to Limbo with new magic powers I think she got from the same demonic entity Cameron Hodge did demonic rituals to, and she returns to this world physically as the Goblin Queen with new magical powers because the Phoenix force in itself is too hard to control also because she was genetically programmed to lose control with it. The demonic entity could cause a conflict aided by the Goblin Queen. If they do the late 1980s/early 1990s versions of New Mutants and X-Force I guess they could bring Wolverine in them but if so they need to balance the other characters out for stronger roles including Cable as Cable is the leader of one of those teams. Wolverine could overshadow the characters too much. What’s good about Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is that he’s such a popular character to audiences and could help either New Mutants or X-Force make a lot more money. Wolverine could interact with X-Factor and X-Force because as a member of the X-Men those three groups may aid eachother. Wolverine would be more creative as an X-Men member. Wolverine getting into SHIELD would also be interesting. Wolverine could personally get more connected to Goblin Queen because he has such a strong bond to Jean Grey. Madelyne Pyror wasn’t purposefully evil in Last Stand I would say, but she was genetically altered to be destructive like that with mind control implants. Then with Goblin Queen she sunk deeper in Limbo to where she became more evil as she was confused and misguided in her creation. Madelyne Pyror isn’t married to Scott Summers, and finding out she’s the clone, Logan may try to develop a love relationship with Madelyne Pyror.
