New Wolverine Movie Could Piss Off Japan
This is rumoured to be the teaser poster for the upcoming Wolverine flick, The Wolverine.
The movie is set in Japan, and actor Hugh Jackman revives his roll as the superhero.
The image first popped up on Instagram (and was spotted by website ScreenRant). It
was supposedly taken at offices of the film’s director, James Mangold. The photo has
since deleted from Instagram.
The image could very well be fake ? loads of phoney teaser mock-up posters make
their way online. Making one isn’t too hard. What’s interesting isn’t that it’s already
made it’s way online, but rather, that it’s already made it’s way online in Japan via
2ch, the country’s largest bulletin board. While some thought the poster looked “cool”,
others had more of kneejerk reaction.
“Man, this is going to piss off the ‘netouyo,’” wrote one 2ch user. “Netouyo” is short
for “nettouyoku” (ネット右翼) and it literally means, “right wingers who use the internet”.
The term isn’t referring to right-wing Republicans in the US, but those in Japan who are
typically very conservative and very nationalistic.
People’s political philosophies vary ? and I’m not judging these individuals for what they
believe. Twentieth Century Fox, however, should be aware that, if this poster is real, all
sorts of critics will come out of the woodwork. And many of them will be rallying around
the same flag Wolverine is shredding.
