If you haven't seen James Mangold’s "The Wolverine" film yet or planning to watch soon, and you don’t want to be spoiled, then stop reading and you can leave right now, because we’re going to highlight some of the major spoilers and plot details that you don’t want to know. Not only "The Wolverine" but all of this summer’s comic book movies that had a controversial twist, which divided comic book fans.
Earlier this summer, we saw "Iron Man 3" which included a controversial twist, or perhaps one of the major change from the traditional comic book storyline. While all the promotional trailers and posters for the film indicated that Ben Kingsley would be playing The Mandarin, Ben Kingsley was actually playing an actor named Trevor Slattery, who was hired to play The Mandarin. The Mandarin seems to divide audience members into two camps: Those who read Iron Man comics, and those who know the hero from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The former have been hoping to see The Mandarin on the big screen ever since Jon Favreau launched the franchise in 2008.
And just when it looked like Iron Man 3 might win the title of the most controversial comic book movie ever, along came the "Man Of Steel." In order to stop Zod from killing an innocent family, Superman snapped Zod’s neck in one of the most shocking scenes ever in a comic book movie. Many comic book fans were outraged that Superman would break his code against killing, especially in such a graphically violent way. Other fans argued that Superman has killed in the past, and Zod left him with no other choice.
In keeping with this summer’s comic book movie tradition, The Wolverine also has a controversial twist that proves to be a major change from the traditional comic book storyline.
In the comic books, Kenuichio Harada is the villain behind Silver Samurai. However, in The Wolverine trailers, Silver Samurai looks more like a giant Japanese (like Real Steel one) robot than an actual person. Well, the good news is that Silver Samurai is not a robot, but the bad news is that the Silver Samurai is not Kenuichio Harada either. A last chance to turn away, because here comes a major spoiler for the movie.
In the big climactic fight scene, Logan chops off the head of the robotic Silver Samurai, revealing that Yashida is inside. Yashida who faked his death and extracts Logan's ability to heal and leaves Logan with bone claws, who eventually defeats Yashida. The changes to the Silver Samurai will be a bit harder to swallow for comic book fans. Of course, anytime a major character, whether villain or hero, is changed in a major way in a movie, it’s bound to stir just a little bit of controversy.
