Trailer Probe : Wolverine
© Joe Crowe
December 16, 2008

Items of geekity interest should be only two minutes long, because trailers make us laugh. They make us cry. They work so hard to make us happy.

Trailer Probe rates the geek explosion content, how much our cortex is combusted with a volley of geekitude, and dork disengagement level is reasons you won't dig it.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Geek explosion content: "I think he heard you." -- lab tech, pre-stabbing

Nerd fuel! The economic downturn has not affected the price of nerd fuel!

Wolverine goes nut-bonkers!

Dig the purple shirt and the glowing staff on Gambit. Gambit!

This movie looks like the cool Wolverine parts of X-Men, but without the not-as-cool X-Men. There will be about a zillion Marvel mutants in cameos. I assume Wolverine will also be in it.

They weren't kidding about the "origins." Wolverine is in World War II and on the set of Grizzly Adams.

Was that Deadpool?

Was that the Blob?

I know that was Gambit, because Wolverine says the word "Gambit." Gambit!

I know I could find out who's in it via Interweb, but I'd rather watch it again. Fifteen or sixteen more times, max.

Dork disengagement level: There is a lot of Not Wolverine in this trailer.

The Blob is in the trailer for two seconds. The man was afraid to give him three.

I'm not sold on Sabertooth's Halloween-costume fangs and the Civil War general / 90210 mutton chops.

The movie's full name is X-Men Origins: Wolverine So the nerd elitist abbreviation is XMOW. That's a long way to go to get it to line up alphabetically on the DVD shelf. The Dark Knight people didn't think of that.

Do not run with claws in this house, mister!

Geek explosion level: 900,000 geek parts per million.
