Synopsis:

This was my first ever full length edit I did a couple years ago. I recently went back through and fixed a couple things that I am better at now and exported a higher quality version. I got my hands on an X-Men Origins: Wolverine edit titled Codename: Wolverine by havok1977. I started to watch it and liked what I was seeing, except the video quality wasn't great as it is some years old and only DVD quality (or even lower than DVD quality). So, I had the idea to try my hands at an HD restoration. That is where this started. But in doing this, I realized that I didn't agree with all the changes that they made. Their version was an attempt to keep this movie more comic accurate, but it is soooo different than the comics. That made it very difficult to do that and made it a little disjointed. So, I scrapped that and started over from scratch. This is now my own version, inspired by Codename: Wolverine.

Intentions:

I wanted a decent version of X-Men Origins Wolverine in HD.

Change List:

Logan and Victor are not brothers. No Deadpool, he is still there but not referred to as "the dead pool", just Weapon XI or “the mutant killer.” A lot of over-the-top action was trimmed. Most of the silliness and bad attempts at humor are removed. The bad CGI claws in the bathroom scene are gone. Biggest differences between my version and Codename: Wolverine: Did not add the two deleted/alternate scenes. Logan did volunteer for the Weapon X program. Silver Fox has powers. Her drugged fake death remains. She and Emma Frost are sisters. While I understand why this was removed in the other version, I feel for motivations this was better left in. There are many small differences, but these are the biggest. Credit to havok1977 for the great work on their version and inspiration for mine. At the time of typing this, it has been close to two years since I initially did this edit, so I cannot recall all the changes that were made. I don’t have a detailed change list like I would make now. There are many small changes, but this is the gist of it.
