Although it's not officially confirmed yet, word on the street is that Twilight: Eclipse director David Slade will direct Wolverine 2. While Wolverine fans worldwide are probably groaning that the director of a girly vampire film may be put in charge of the rugged anti-hero, they should consider two things: 1. Eclipse was one big vampire-werewolf fight. 2. Logan and Edward Cullen have a lot in common. Check out our long list of similarities between the two.
1. Both have been alive for an abnormally long time.
Edward Cullen was born in 1901 and made into a vampire in 1918. Wolverine was born in the late 1800s, and manifested his powers at a young age. Except while Edward keeps gong back to high school so he can live a public life without fear of being discovered, Wolverine doesn't give a rat's ass.
2. Both have retractable sharp bits.
Wolverine has long claws that pop out of his hands. Edward has pointy teeth that pop out of his mouth. Only Wolverine's claws are coated in razor-sharp adamantium, but it's not like Edward needs to bite through machine-gun barrels very often.
3. Both have gravity-defying hair.
While Wolverine's seemingly indestructible hold is likely a byproduct of his mutant power, Edward's lifeless locks must need a ton of product just to stay aloft. Insert "lifetime of celibacy"/There's Something About Mary joke here.
4. Both date delicate women who are averse to marriage.
In the next film, Wolverine will travel to Japan and meet Mariko Yashida, the dainty woman whom he would later become engaged to. But unlike the fragile, matrimony-averse Bella Swan, Mariko is happy to get married -- it's only when she's brainwashed by the villainous Mastermind that she calls it off.
5. Both have rivalries with feral dudes.
Edward has to fend off challenges from werewolf Jacob Black, just like Wolverine's routinely taunted by his clawed and fanged half-brother, Sabretooth. Of course, Black only wants to steal his rival's girlfriend, while Sabretooth wants to gut her and leave her somewhere for Wolverine to find.
6. Both have a keen sense of smell.
Both Wolverine and Edward can use their noses to track prey across great distances, but only Edward has to deal with the problem of someone smelling so good that he has to fight to keep from eating her.
7. Both have been known to fight a bear.
Edward fights bears and drinks their blood to keep his strength up, and prevent him from killing humans. Conversely, Wolverine mostly fights bears to get the best salmon. "This is my stretch of river, bub!"

Nothing in this world could be worse than the first Wolverine movie, and David Slade's "Hard Candy" goodwill goes a long way. I say let him have at it.
Delicate? Seriously? Wolverine chooses anything but "delicate" women. He's got a Blackfoot cover ops super-soldier on his ledger, and Mariko is a damn oyabun. Any of Logan's exes could break Bella - hell, Edward - like a twig.
I can't believe you just compared Wolverine to Edward Cullen.
Wolverine is a certified badass, and Cullen is... sparkly. They're not even in the same league. What the hell..
Edward doesn't have fangs, one of the many annoying things about the Twilight vamps...
They're both kind of sad and melancholy, too. Also hot.

Well, compared to normal people, they're not delicate. They still have an alarming fatality rate once they get involved with him, though. Which, since that tends to be most of what we see of them, I guess makes them seem delicate.
Brilliant post! I'm glad that someone recognizes that Twilight does exist. Lately is like people want to forget they exist.
To add to the theme I think they are more diferent that they are alike. Edward smells good all the time while Wolverine is smelly, Edward is controlled when Logan goes berserker and mostly Logan sleeps with everything that has a pulse (I hope) while Edward was a virgin that won't put out till marriage. So I think Wolvie as Edward wouldn't be the best approach to the material.

Really? Gimmee a break. Who was actually complaining about the fact that he directed Eclipse. After watching 30 days of nights, I was more concerned that he would ruin Eclipse. Which he did a bang up job of. He does terrible adaptations. The hating Wolverine fanboys can have him. Let him botch their favorite character.

Appreicate your thoughts, Im not always in agreement, but you do cause a peron to think keep blogging!
A laugh is a amaze. And all humor is physical. I was usually athletic, so that got naturally to me.
That's a good viewpoint, however isn't create any sence whatsoever discussing which mather. Just about any technique many thanks as well as thought about try and reveal your own post into delicius but it surely looks like it's problems with your blogs is it possible to make sure you recheck it. thanks again.
Leave it to PBS to air such a critical and brilliant program but a single time per channel on a single day without repeat. Christ, they repeat everything liberal, nothing informative. Im shocked they aired it this time, frankly.
Nice posting but making an request sounds quite difficult! I will not be having a go.

Sounds become words only after we associate meaning to them – you always want to translate meaning.
Once you are done trying to 'optimize' this routine.
Care to give some more details? :)

My wife and i got fortunate when Peter could finish off his investigations with the precious recommendations he obtained through the web page. It's not at all simplistic just to possibly be giving freely solutions which most people might have been making money from. Therefore we understand we have got the writer to be grateful to for this. Most of the explanations you made, the straightforward site navigation, the relationships you make it possible to create - it is mostly great, and it's facilitating our son in addition to us believe that the matter is exciting, which is tremendously pressing. Many thanks for the whole lot!
Fantastic blog! Great!
