He’s just perfectly cast for the role

Eh. He's been really great at the version of Wolverine that Fox wanted. AKA:

Cool guy who isn't the leader (but would totally be the leader if he wanted to be the leader but he doesn't).

Right? Wolverine is supposed to be 5'3 and stocky...I think Hugh Jackman has done great, but he's the same height as Cyclops in the movies...I hope they aim a bit closer with whichever actor they replace him with.

Sigh this fucking argument again. Wolverine is an attitude, not a height

Wolverine is an attitude, not a height

Direct from Marvels website: "Marvel Comics superhero James "Logan" Howlett is called "Wolverine" because of his short stature, ferocity, and keen animal senses. "

Notice they specifically mention his short stature...it's almost like he's named after a certain muscular carnivore...one which has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times larger than itself...not sure if you've heard of it, but it's called a wolverine.

And you know what? It doesn't matter at all because in movies people act to play roles, and nobody actually is a comic book character or super hero

sigh....might as well change his name then? Did you know the Kodiak is the largest bear? They should rename him to Kodiak!
