I hope this is in the movie

He didn't...well, he did, but with the help of a big magic freakin' crystal. This misconception comes from people either not having read the original comic, or not understanding it.

Guilty as charged. Never read it, but it's been spoken about. Thanks for the clarification.

Which comic is that in, anyway?
 
In the Ultiverse, Wolverine decapitates Sabertooth and he is able to reattach his head threw a thin line of fresh conecting his head to his neck.
 
I've said several time before that I hate bone claws and I'll tell you how I feel about this theory. My biggest problem with bone claws in this film has to do with Sabretooth and Wolverine's fight immediately after Silver Fox's death.

In the comics when this story was first told Wolverine didn't have any claws and he got the beating of his life. After Stryker said in X2 that Wolverine volunteered for the experiment we could assume that in the origin movie, an event like that would be Wolverine's motivation for going through the procedure.

The thing is though, when Wolverine found out he had bone claws, he was still able to defeat all of his enemies and his healing powers and senses were stronger than ever. So it's hard for me to imagine Wolverine losing to Sabretooth so incredibly bad with the bone claws that he would choose to get an adamantium skeleton. Sure breaking bones still hurts alot even when you can heal, but when your bone claws can already cut through metal and you can regrow bone, limbs, etc...it makes the adamantium seem not as important.

If Wolverine can't grow bone back, his claws and other bones break, he chooses to go through the procedure, then that might make alitte more sense. So I like this idea better, it sounds like an idea Claremont had for the character that Wolverine had broken all the bones in his body and he couldn't heal bone so had them replaced with adamantium. It also sounds a bit like Archangel's origin too.

So I kind of like that idea but at the same time I feel if they introduced the bone claws and made him lose them for good, why put them in at all?

Sabretooth's claws in the film are comparable to Wolverine's bone claws.

Just shorter, but the reach factor differs.

The idea of the adamantium is simply to make him indestructible.

With the bone claws he was still somewhat vulnerable.

With the adamantium he is impervious to damage.

*This is gonna make the final fight with Sabretooth interesting, because now Wolverine will have the upper hand.

Liev's Creed proves his worth by challenging an indestructible version of himself.

Wolverine forgot he had his bone-claws. So then you are fighting hand-to-hand with someone that actually has claw like finger-nails. You are already at a disadvantage.

Also, Creed knows Wolverine and everything about him. What the did Wolverine know about Creed at the time? Hell did Wolverine even know just what he, himself, was capable of at the time?
 
Wolverine and Deadpool should have a headless 10 minute fight in the movie.
 
It was UNCANNY X-MEN ANNUAL #11. There's a couple of wonderful Wolverine character beats in that story if you manage to read it.

No way. I think I own that one on the big "40 Years of Uncanny X-Men" CD I have.

How'd I miss it?
