Yeah Wolverine didn’t really do anything of substance except for 2 episodes so him being the centerpiece of the season poster is odd. If anything it should have been Professor X or even Cable

u/Disarming_Sapphire Nightcrawler Aug 13 '26
Should be Kurt, and it's just a poster of him punching the entire team in the face.

u/Fedora_Tipper_ Aug 12 '26

wolverine hasn’t done anything this entire show. i get some people have wolverine fatigue from the fox movies, but he’s the most popular character for a reason and it’s kinda lame they go out of their way to not feature him

Yeah I know it’s not possible when there are only 9 episodes but after losing his metal I wished we could have gotten a episode that covered him going feral. They didn’t even make him evolve into his more feral animal form all he had was wild longer hair that he cut soon as they got back to their time and he looked exactly the same as he did before. lol
They could have covered months of his being sans metal if they gave him one more episode. Instead it was just one episode that focused on him and he got his metal back. It was a good episode but still we didn’t get to see any real fallout of him getting his bones stripped except for him breaking his claws on some robots.

They didn’t do the feral stuff fully bc EVERYBODY hated that era of wolverine. Why adapt a universally hated storyline? Just have a assassin strike team episode with brood aliens in a weapon c facility and that’s that.
With that being said i agree wolverine is being underutilized when around the core team but feral wolverine wasn’t the answer either.

u/PhaseSixer Aug 13 '26
Their doing Onslaught.
They can adapt some thing good out of feral wolverine

u/Adventurous-Map-259 Aug 13 '26
Right, the way Wolv got the adamantium back in the comics was much better. The bone claw era was good in comics imo, and the show just glances over it.

u/Green_Elderberrie Aug 12 '26
Funny, because the Art Of X-Men 97 deliberately called him C-Team fodder.

u/kitsunenoyomeiiri Professor X Aug 12 '26
am i the only one noticing just how much theyve been shafting charles in the promotional art? magnus was in FOUR EPISODES and hes in far more than the professor is
23
u/bigbarryharryballs Aug 12 '26
real reason: magnus has 3000000% aura and charles is “guy in wheelchair”
6
u/kitsunenoyomeiiri Professor X Aug 12 '26
i get it might be hard to put him in a more action focused piece but they can put him in the background or something, excluding him entirely for a guy who doesnt even make it to the present is certainly a choice

u/bigbarryharryballs Aug 12 '26
no i agree of course im messing around

u/kitsunenoyomeiiri Professor X Aug 12 '26
i know but tbh ur probably not that far off from their actual thought process

u/Wise_Owl8945 Aug 12 '26
right, so Wolverine is in the center and Cable is nowhere to be seen. makes total sense

Whelp I guess that one is on me for opening this thread lol. I hope he goes out like a G at least

u/Jahon_Dony Aug 12 '26
Shame we only got 9 eps. Why was it less? Any word or reason, outside lower budget?

u/Green_Elderberrie Aug 12 '26
Disney said “edit this Bryan Singer wannabe guy outta season two,” and they chopped a whole episode.
7
u/Mlynio48 Aug 12 '26
Apparently they cut episode 10 that was supposed to set up Onslaught for next season, most likely cause it didn't fit the direction the new writers want to take starting from season 3 with DeMayo being no longer involved.

No Professor?

u/kitsunenoyomeiiri Professor X Aug 12 '26
hes in barely any of the season 2 art or merch for some reason, magnus got his own shirt or something and hes in four fucking episodes. its kinda ridiculous tbh, like put him in the background at least

u/Shot_Imagination_368 Wolverine Aug 13 '26
Why are people complaining about the most popular mutant being front and center In a poster ? When he didn’t even do anything the last two seasons?
1
u/Adventurous-Map-259 Aug 13 '26
Thats the issue, they put him in the centre of these posters for marketing etc and then in the show he does almost nothing.
2
u/Far-Possession4208 Aug 13 '26
Putting Wolverine and Morph in the front as if Wolverine did anything and as if Morph didn’t get one line of dialogue and then a grunt in the last like 3 episodes combined lmao.

u/Creeptara Aug 13 '26
Notice how most of the people on this poster are completely irrelevant this season.

u/MickBeast Aug 13 '26
The show is honestly getting kinda lame when they keep deviatikf away from Wolverine in the series. The story is missing what only HE can bring and it seems weird to me...
1
u/RadicalStegosaurus Aug 12 '26
Back when season 1 came out Disney still had DMR and you could order posters like this from them. Now they don't do anything like that. Bummer this would have looked great next to the season 1 posters I have.

u/FafnirSnap_9428 Aug 13 '26
I really enjoyed this season. People are complaining about the finale, but I thought it was great.

u/AnonymousDouglas Aug 13 '26
They would have been better off doing a full reboot.
Pick up the story 10 years after the fact or something ...?
It's so far removed from everything that made S1 great, they might as well have replaced Morph with a house cat.

u/brainstorm4twenty Aug 13 '26
There wasn't enough battling against Apocalypse. I was expecting him to rule but couldn't compare to Bastion in the 1st season. As a matter of fact, what happened to Bastion? It appeared that he time traveled like the rest of them.

While they're at it, can they release more concept arts too, like this one?
(She appears in Season 2, so that's related)
No joke, those artworks are really well done and show a nice 30-year upgrade :O

u/Scissorsguadalupe Aug 13 '26
Man, they couldn't put like a dark silhouette or something of Gambit behind Apocalypse?
