Hugh Jackman, AKA X-Men’s Wolverine, admitted to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show that he’d studied wolves before his first film with the X-Men. He mistakenly thought a wolverine was a type of wolf. [pullquote position=”left”]So, kudos to an actor who immersed himself in zoology for a part. And now I have to see the original X-Men again and watch for the subtleties of his ‘lone wolf’ portrayal.[/pullquote]
For those of you who also don’t know, a wolverine is a real animal, native to arctic and subarctic areas (see the connection now with Logan and Alaska?), and renowned for having a super bad temper when provoked. If you corner a wolverine, it will go bananas on you, fighting like the kind of berserker we’ve seen in Jackman’s Wolverine.
So it worked out…but to be honest, I think the better berserker mutant was done with Logan’s mini-me, Laura (from the excellent film, “Logan“). [pullquote position=”right”]That little girl had the kind of feral, remorseless ferocity intended to evoke the real wolverine deal. Less lone wolf, and more like a small, cuddly creature that will cut you.[/pullquote]

This 3 minute video, for example, is nuts. Watch as an annoyed wolverine takes on a black bear, a creature no one else in the the history of forever would think of pestering. By the end, you’re kind of feeling bad for the bear. You go, you small ferocious weirdo:
A wolverine is a carnivore in the Mustelidae family, existing alongside other easily irked animals like the weasel, the skunk, and infamously, the bizarre honey badger. And remember, Honey Badger don’t care. After seeing this viral, strange, and very funny video, I wonder how Jackman would have felt if his character was called Logan, the Honey Badger:
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Best app ever!
RunPee is the only app we use before movies and afterward. not only does RunPee tell you when it’s a good time to leave the theater, kids these days ask if there’s anything during/after the credits, and RunPee lets parents know when there might be some thing that a kid might miss!
RunPee has tidbits, ratings, leave the theater times, and lengths. This is THE VITAL APP for watching any movie!
We used it when my wife was pregnant, and we have recommended it to every pregnant gal we know! How else can you enjoy a movie when you have to go out so often?!

This last 4.26 minute video calls wolverines the honey badgers of the north, pulling it all together. It’s a lot of fun. And educational! Always a great combo:
According to an interview with The Economic Times, Mr. Jackman is a fan of the RunPee app, and likes to check his own movies to see if his scenes get turned into Peetimes. We love hearing this kind of thing. If I was a celebrity, I’d check my films on the app too. 😉
