There were some thirty tousand Canadian’s to fight in the U.S. Civil War on both sides. As for Logan being in the U.S. Army in WWII, in the comics he was with the 1st Special Services Unit (Devil’s Brigade) which was composed of both U.S. and Canadian soldiers. This unit was the forrunner of the Green Beret.

The Jimmy thing should not surprize anyone since they are using Orign as a template for the beginning of the movie.

Uh… I didn’t think I was exhibiting any Wolverine-style rage or judging the movie before it came out.

But, to play devil’s advocate, I think I was within my rights to judge ‘Constantine’ when they cast Keanu Reeves.

I’m guessing I’m lacking that rage that you have DiG. I don’t see the point in judging something that hasn’t been released yet.

Amen to that, DiG :)

Isn’t overreacting what being a fan is all about?

I am concerned over lots of what they have hinted at in the trailers, but I will see it opening day and pass judgment at that point. And if it breaks with the Wolverine of the comics (616), at least we still have the comics.

Who knows, maybe we can get Frank Tieri to replace Daniel Way on Wolverine: Origins! ;)

Isn’t “Jimmy” short for James? He was called “Lucky Jim” all the time in the Ultimate Universe. I think people are overreacting with the “Jim” thing.

Question: Why would a guy born in the Canadian frontier be in a yankee uniform on a Civil War battlefield anyway?

Possible answer: Because the Hollywood people making the movie are complete morons.

So, does this mean they’re dropping the name “Logan” altogether? I’m not crazy about this “Jimmy” thing, either, and it should be clear he’s Canadian. Age issues and source incongruity aside, why would a guy born in the Canadian frontier be in a yankee uniform on a Civil War battlefield anyway?

Not good. Wolverine is Canadain!!!
Can’t wait for this either way.
And good luck with the script,

I totally agree with you. That’s one of reasons that I’m a fan, but if he stays canadian, better be a canadian in the canadian army.

I’m pretty sure that he is going to stay Canadain. I remember reading that in the interviews.
