I wonder if that suggests something about how much the audience you were in knew about Wolverine vs how much the audience I was in knew about Wolverine.

(Interestingly, I didn't know Wolverine's mutant power was healing until I saw the movie[*], but they'd dropped enough hints before he went through the windscreen that I'd been able to work it out.)

[*] I didn't know much about any of the X-Men, really.[**] About all I knew about Wolverine was that he was the grumpy Canadian with the retractable adamantium talons.

[**] For instance: Professor Xavier is a *mutant*?!
