Message: [QUOTE="NotReallyHere, post: 568289, member: 81170"] I do think most fictional characters with an unknown past are at their best when that part of their story is left to the reader's / watcher's / player's imagination. It lets us establish our own motivations and backstories, which really lets us make those characters our own and form attachments to them in our own unique ways. Even if they aren't my own creations, nobody can make me think or feel a certain way about characters in media - I'll decide that for myself. When new backstory details about a character come to light (especially characters who have been around for generations) and I am suddenly told [I]exactly[/I] what happened when... I dunno. Headcanon is a powerful thing. And you're never wrong for believing exactly what you want to believe regarding fictional characters. Somebody else may have created them, but you are free to interpret the information presented to you and draw your own conclusions any way you see fit! On-topic, I felt the initial Origins run was OK. But it was badly dated by repeated use of the word, "turd." Really cemented the fact that it was written and released in the late 90s / early 00s era - and not in a good way 🙄 I also didn't care for how they expanded the story after House of M, where Wolverine suddenly got all his memories back and went off on his own to track down the people he remembered from his past. It felt soooooo cheap. And that was also right around the time I bounced off comics and, so far, haven't looked back 😝 [/QUOTE]
