Bone claws!?

[Aquaman]

Bone claws aren't a super-power.

In addition to his healing factor, he has enhanced senses: which means he has super human hearing and smell.

Looks like I know my Wolverine more than you do.

Its not so much a super power as it is a mutation. Bone claws go completely hand in hand with the other animal like mutations (heightened senses). His mutation has made him more animal like...the claws included.

I don't really see much reason to give him bone claws. And having scenes that are taken from Origin gives the movie a huge timeline. I'd rather they just never get into whether or not his claws are bones, or if the Weapon X program litterally gave them to him.

In the movies his claws did always seem way too thin to be bones beforehand.

An X-Ray would have shown if he had claws in the first place. I don't think the Weapon X program would start pumping a guy full of metal before knowing as much as they could about his anatomy. They would have known he had claws or he didn't have claws. Stryker could have easily been using a metaphor when he said he gave wolverine claws, at least thats how I always interpreted it.

Was that for me? I know Wolverine has always had the claws. Read my post. So I don't really understand your response.

No! It wasn't fo you!

 

[Rac]

No! It wasn't fo you!

Ah, okay!

 

[Dr.Dude]

I think they should just maaaybe hint at the bone claws, at most.

If he only pops his claws for the first time right after he's put through the Weapon X operation, they can carefully build up to that first claw-pop and make the impact of the scene all the greater.

I can't believe people are talking about the size of the claws being a problem in a fantasy movie. Get over it. He can still have bone because the movie can say "he has bone" and that's all the reasoning you'll get.

 

[Decay]

Ah, okay!

Sorry if I made u feel bad!

Actually, though, upon further refelction, with Logan's regenerative capabilities, I'm not convinced his claws wouldn't grow back given enough time. I'm don't think their removal surgically is going to be a good enough excuse.

That's what I was thinking. Filing them to a different shape or removing them would be pointless for movie Wolverine, they would just regenerate.

 

[Rac]

Sorry if I made u feel bad!

No, no. I was just confused.

Yeah, the bone claws don't need to be same fit as the adamantium. I think they need to be rough and different looking from each other.

Stryker could've shaven them down to a more knife like shape.

 

[TheVileOne]

Stryker could've shaven them down to a more knife like shape.

Umm no. I mean good God. His healing factor would take care of them being shaved down. That explanation doesn't work at all.

 

[D-day]

How would they regenerate if theythey were encased in adamantium? the metal would stop thier growth. It worked with X-23's claws.

 

[OptimusPrimeRib]

I'm not all that familiar with the X-23 storyline, but movie Wolverine regenerates so fast I doubt they would have time to apply the adimantium before the bone grew back. He was regenerating faster than Jean could demolecularize him.

I don't, nor have I ever, liked the idea of the bone claws. It never made much sense to me especially with the way wolverine's claws are in the forearm coming through his knuckles. If he's supposed to be beast like they should be at the tips of his fingers. Also with the length of his claws they would break all the time as bone is not so strong. Granted it would heal but it would still hurt.

I hated the Origin comics, I didn't like the mystique it took away from the Wolvie character. Plus it was kind of pointless since it was like Wolverine was discovering this history it was just presented as a story.

I don't think movie wolverine should have bone claws, they're the wrong shape, they should just have been implants that were given to him. Since he has the healing factor over time it would just become a natural part of his body.

 

[ICXCNIKA]

If he doesn't have bone claws, his lone power is his healing factor... I think bone claws are essential.

EXACTLY!!!

 

[chaseter]

No bone claws. They could easily explain that adamantium knives were placed in his hands to portude at will as his weapons. If they said that Wolverine had bone claws...then Deathsrike would have to have them as well and having bone grow out of your fingernails is dumb. For the movieverse...no bone claws.

 

[Warhammer]

I hate the idea of Bone claws.
I never liked them.

 

[Decay]

In fact it doesn't really matter if they are made of metal or bone...they still look awesome when they come out of Logan's fists.

 

[neosonic]

In x-men 3 Didn't beast say something like"I have been fighting for mutant rights before you had claws"

I hate the bone claws,Its even too far fetched in a movie of a guy with metal claws.enough said

 

[Boiiinng]

Well, personally, I've always thought since Origin that the bone claws and the healing factor were one in the same. Without the healing factor the holes the claws make would never heal and he would bleed to death. Without the claws, he wouldn't have gained a healing factor because the reason he was a sickly child is that his immune system was attacking the claws growing in his arms and when they are fully grown and pop out, the healing factor takes over instead of him having an immune-disease because the claws are no longer growing and the body reacts to these permanent items in his body rather than considering them some type of infection, like teething.

 

[jim_root_rules]

i dnt think the clawsare the wrong shape at all, its not like there super thin they could easily have the bone claws with the same shape and everything

 

[The_Guyver]

Gotta have bone claws, they are unique to his character. He's not the only mutant with a healing factor, so others could just as easily have claws given to them, I think it works better if it's a part of his mutation.

 

[Megatallica]

bone claws make more sense then them just appearing, i mean who the hell can construct all the muscle and tissue for retractable claws, thats just playing god... and i recon the people that dont like the whole wolverine bone claws thing is cause they were introduced so recently, i mean i was 8 when they were brought up....
I really like how wolverines story is still being made as they go along, but thats my opinion.

 

[Juggertha]

I really don't see the need for them in this movie. There should be enough to cover without getting into the "bone issue".

 

[Jager X]

if the medical industry can take a particular muscle from one's leg a place it in his or her arm to replace severely damaged musle tissue (i.e. the biceps) then seperating the radius and the ulna to fit in 1 inch wide claws isn't very far-fetched.
