I like Renner as "ultimate" Hawkeye, wait and see for the new Banner... but Johansson (a good actress, though) definitely looks like a barbie doll, not the Widow.
Yes you're right, in 1984 with a special 6-issues. But the Wolverine's father/older brother thing happened so many times since (Jubilee, Katie Power, Rogue, X-23...) that's became a cliché. I insist : it's a big problem if you (not you specificaly, of course) think that a cold-blooded killer is also capable of love. It's teenage fantasy, not reality.
Will Wolverine disappear one day forever ? Or at least, becoming again the (real) character I knew 25 years ago, recently seen again in Whedon's Astonishing X-men or in Craig/Yost's X-force ? I don't think so.
"Wolverine... can either be a bloodthirsty killer... or a caring father-like figure to young and impressionable mutants." Seriously, it's not even a contradiction, it's an aberration and, in some way, dangerously stupid considering comic books are read by young people.
Maybe, some day, Marvel's writers will grow up, read books et become mature. I don't think so...
AMC is a classic bunch of hollywood money-makers. They're also stupid people (avidity and stupidy match good together), so they have a problem with intelligence and talent : Darabont has both. Remember, they've cancelled "Flashforward"...
