The Wolverine SPOILER ALERT: Anyone bothered by....

[lespaul59]

Don't see a reason why he would. He remembers his time in WW2, he's dreaming about it during the movie and remembering it while awake so they aren't something he wasn't aware of in the movie-verse.

Great point. When I posted the question I didn't even think about that. But it does bring up the question how much does Wolverine actually remember. Up untill The Wolverine to me it seemed like he didn't remember anything before getting shot in the head. And considering how much Wolverine seems to remember in TW it almost makes me wonder if they're ignoring the head shot and going with the alternate memory wipe (found on XMOW Blu Ray). I say this because the alternate memory wipe scene seems to imply that the process wasn't complete. Then again I could just be over thinking this altogether.

was not bothered. i mean, bone claws are lame compared to metal ones, but he only pulled them out in the post credit scene.

if he has them for DOFP (i don't see how this will happen), i will be let down.

i will shake my head if he simply has metal claws with no explanation.

If TW proved anything, it's that they're trying to make sense of the messed up continuity. The bone claws made thematic sense, they were a HUGE event for the franchise. DoFP will address it, I'm 110% sure.

Yeah its a great starting point for the character and there is several ways he can get the metal claws back, I have a feeling he will

 

[SilentWarriorZ]

I wonder how he is gonna fight those Sentinels with those bone claws its like bringing a knife to a gun fight.

 

[tricon7]

Oh yes, he did indeed:

Okay, I missed this post somehow. IMHO, the fact that Magneto can rearrange adamantium kind of takes away from its uniqueness and special quality. But Marvel does this all the time. Breaking Captain America's "unbreakable" shield (by the Beyonder and then by Thanos), creating an exception of the Living Tribunal as the most powerful being in the multiverse, etc. Soon every other two-bit villain out there will have some special way to recreate adamantium. It gives writers what they think is a fascinating plotline. All it actually does is dilute its uniqueness. I'd prefer it to actually be unbreakable - by anybody for any reason. Once an exception is made, the Pandora's Box has been opened.

 

[Great Mind(s)]

Well to be fair, Magneto said in X2 he could manipulate adamantium... almost foreshadowing what may happen in DOFP...

 

[Super Jim]

I still don't see the need for them to show Wolverine getting his adamantium back in DOFP.

First, we now know that it will be Wolverine's mind sent back to 1973 (into his 1973 self), and not his body. So the 1973 Wolverine will have the adamantium and it seems most of the story will take place there...

Back in the present, other than sending his mind back in time, there probably won't be much going on.

The future may be shown and I am hoping that we will get the scene, from the comic, where Wolverine is attacked by a Sentinal (with him wearing the leather jacket). We have seen a set pic with him wearing something like that.

My hope is that in this future scene he'll be attacked and he'll pop his adamantium claws in order to take down the robot.

This would be great because it would show the audience that at some point, who knows when and who knows how, Wolverine will get his adamantium back. Although the present Wolverine will be bone claws, the past and future Wolverine's will be adamantium...

 

[eon001]

Only the claws. They were slashed to open the way to drain his healing, but the rest of the skeleton is laced with the stuff

Which is also why Magneto was able to control him at the end.

I don't mind, because they clearly intend to do something with the whole idea in X-DoFP.

Pretty much this. The time travel elemant will retcon pretty much the whole X universe. Cyclops will be back, Jean will be alive and Wolverine will have his claws. Failing that, like someone already said, Magneto or some kind of surgical procedure will give Wolive his adamantium.

But tbh I can live with an adamantium free Wolive for the short term. After he lost his adamantium in the books, I remember reading them and enjoying the slightly more vulnerable Wolverine.

 

[Dr. Remy Lebeau]

It makes sense to me that it was decided to neuter Wolverine somewhat for DOFP. With his claws he could slice through Sentinels as though they were made of butter. We'll already have Magneto who could turn Sentinels into mush with a simple thought(unless they make them out of some sort of super strong plastic). By having Wolverine be vulnerable to the Sentinels it makes them more of a threat.

 

[Paladin-Hoss]

One scene i'm almost certain we wouldn't see in DOFP is when a Sentinel incinerated Wolverine...hehe

 

[Leon_0]

I honestly didnt mind the bone claws at all. Cuz well..we coulda just as easily gotten NO CLAWS at all after homeboy sliced them off. I thought it was really neat and it threw me off completely lol.

I cant understand if people are hating on that, but lets face it. This was it-the lat wolverine movie, I highly doubt were gonna get any type of solo wolverine movie any time soon. (or at least I hope, poor hugh should get some room to breathe) I know theyre bringing him back for DOFP, but DOFP isnt about wolverine, so who cares what his claws are made of in that movie.

 

[psylockolussus]

Well I think if he's gonna get his adamantium claws, it should happen after the DOFP movie. There's already too many things happening in that movie and I feel like they would be undoing a lot of things if they will try to give Logan adamantium claws too.

 

[HerosOnFilm]

Yashida supposedly stockpiled adamantium...you think Mariko would have offered to dip the ol' bone claws in adamantium before he left Japan...

 

[Loki882]

Maybe he didn't want the adamantium claws back. He's a changed man at the end of the film, so maybe he wanted to let go of his past (Weapon X).

 

[psylockolussus]

Maybe he wasn't a soldier anymore.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Maybe he wasn't a soldier anymore.

He specifically said he was though.

 

[wildfire74]

I have an issue that I haven't seen anyone post about regarding the post credit scene. Everywhere I see a report on it, they say the scene takes places two years later yet it clearly said on screen "Two years earlier". I know I'm not crazy (well, at least in this regard) because a friend of mine on the other side of the country saw the same thing and commented to me. What makes this even more weird is that when Wolverine draws his claws against Magneto, they're bone claws which wouldn't make sense based on the timeline. Was this a labeling error or is it some sort of time-space issue that needs to be clarified? Did anyone else notice this?

 

[BobJM]

It said Two Years Later.

 

[Loki882]

So, his claws are now bone, but his skeleton is still adamantium, and that's why Magneto could stop him. I'm interpreting this right aren't I?

Correct-a-mundo

 

[Loki882]

Oh good, that makes sense. Maybe part of his journey is letting go of the bad things that happened in his past (including Weapon X). That could be why he chose to keep the bone claws.

 

[hoopy3]

It said Two Years Later.

Actually, i saw it say "2 years earlier" also....which struck me as odd since he had the bone claws.

 

[X-Maniac]

Nope. It was Two Years Later, meaning he had travelled around for two years after the end of the main story. Where Yukio had gone is another matter altogether, one assumes she went back to Japan and he decided to return to the USA.

 

[Mr.T]

The new movie poster for DoFP that shows a Two Faced style Wolverine has him with adamantium claws again. I'm guessing he'll have them back again somehow. Maybe Magneto helps him out.
