Sigh. Following on the heels of Wolverine‘s robbery of our money and a little bit of his own respectability, there’s already word that X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 (Or is it X-Men Origins 2: Wolverine, or X-Men 5: Wolverine 2: Japanese Vacation??) is in development. This time, we’ll get the Japanese storylines that were prevalent (and awesome) in his comics. Hooray! You know what would have been better news? If they used those stories for the FIRST movie!

Despite my berserker rage towards XMO:W, I will reserve judgment on the sequel (prequel? prequel sequel?) until the pieces start to fall into place. Something drastic needs to happen with the X-Men/Wolvie franchise in order for it to stay relevant. Let’s start by wooing back Bryan Singer, then shooting me in the head with an adamantium bullet that also magically erases my memories of the first Wolverine movie.
