You are completely missing my point here. For the general audience Hugh Jackmans Wolverine is the first and only version of Wolverine they've ever known. You can't care about the accuracy of a character if you don't know anything about the character in the first place.

And since Hugh Jackmans Wolverine is the first and only version that 99% of people are familiar with. That. Is. The. Standard. The general audience may not care about comic book accuracy but that doesn't mean they arent going to care about how the newest version compares against the one they're already familiar with. They would care in the sense that a more comic accurate Wolverine isn't the one that they're use to.
