Why would the show staff's want to make Wolverine cry in this two part episode i don't like one bit, He had to be badass that what he is.

It's called character development, to show us that someone CAN scare Wolverine, but also show that Wolverine is not a perfect badass 100% of the time.

Anyways, my interpretation on why Wolverine took the experience so hard was because his body had not been messed with so intrusively by anyone since his Weapon X experience. That's my take on it anyways.

I remember seeing that for the first time and honestly being freaked out beyond belief. You saw what Proteus was doing to him, basically warping reality around him, and you can only imagine what that would feel like...then to see the toughest character from the comics and the show just break down like that, my young mind couldn't take it. :crying:

It's understandable that Wolverine was seriously freaked after that experience. Although seeing Logan cry has got to be one of the unintentionally funniest moments in animation history.:D

That happened in the comics too; the point is to show just how disturbing it is.

I've always thought this adaptation was a considerable improvement on the comics story it's based on.
