Comments on: Wolverine is a jerk http://www.theothermurdockpapers.com/2010/02/wolverine-is-a-jerk/ A Daredevil Blog Thu, 29 Jul 2010 02:59:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Christine http://www.theothermurdockpapers.com/2010/02/wolverine-is-a-jerk/comment-page-1/#comment-1602 Christine Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:44:26 +0000 http://www.theothermurdockpapers.com/?p=2834#comment-1602 I agree with you, JP. The scene (a few pages before this one) where Wolverine goes on and on about Matt being a player had me groaning and sighing. Was it Kevin Smith that introduced this notion or where did it come from? I think Matt is supposed to be around 32-33 years old and he's slept with something like eight women. That's statistically pretty <em>average</em>. Writers need to stop making up random stuff about characters they're working on and other writers need to stop taking these people's word for it. Argh! I agree with you, JP.

Or at least a writer who doesn't "get" Daredevil. In the same story-arc, he described Matt as a playboy... There were other encounters between DD-Wolvie that went differently (v1 # 196 by Miller/Janson)... though it's true most of the times they ended up fighting (v1 #248-249 by Nocenti/Leonardi, Punisher Marvel Knights #34 by Garth Ennis).

They've REPEATEDLY asked him to join their big teams. How many invitations to the Avengers or S.H.I.E.L.D. has Matt Murdock turned down? Silly Canuck... I would like to know who's making fun of Matt behind his back. I don't see Captain America and Thor standing around laughing at a blind superhero or Charles Xavier and Kitty Pryde doing so either.

The stuff that bothers me most is his penchant for stealing (or at least attempting to) other men's wives. First there was Jean Grey (while she was with Scott Summers) in the pages of X-Men, and then Mary Jane Watson (while she was with Peter Parker) in the pages of New Avengers. Maybe he just can't resist red heads. It still makes him uber-creepy though. He has always been my least favourite of Marvel's big name characters. I just can't actually root for him, even if he is supposedly one of the good guys. Wolverine has always been a jerk, and not just for the regular hostility he shows towards other heroes and allies.
