Just saw the movie today. It was NOT as bad as everyone lead me to believe. Granted it wasn't Star Trek or Watchmen great but it was still enjoyable.

[spoiler]Ok, I hated the guy they got to play Gambit. He came off as a brash punk, rather than a true Creole. He didn't even keep his accent most of the time!

The plot seemed to move rather quickly, too quickly.

I hated Deadpool. Such a dumb adaptation.

Sabertooth was pretty cool, better than the one that appeared in X-1.

Wolverine's bone claws seemed lame, and it was even lamer that his adimantium claws were so sharp and had such fine edges. [/spoiler]

It's worse than Grups... It was an atrocity.

Any with him in it. Seriously, that's who he is as a character.

Admit it, it was GURPS. What other system could handle that sort of character design?

Quote from: Rorschach FritosRipping his adamantium out wouldn't kill him,
I think it would. If you ripped it all out it would come as one big skeleton shaped chunk of metal, which means that his brain would have to come with it. (Unless you rip it out from behind, and his brain escapes through the eye sockets. (Which I highly doubt would happen.) Also his main weapon (claws) would go bye bye.

Yeah. Just got back, I don't see the big deal. Mind, I'm not a knowledgebase of the canon, so that might be it.

Happened in the comics. Wolverine survived.
He also got his adamantium back eventually.

Hell, he's been reduced to a charred skeleton and got better.

Right, exactly. It did some serious damage, sure, and it left him incredibly vulnerable, but he did survive.

Also, his claws wouldn't go; he'll still have the bone claws. I always preferred boneclaw wolvie, though.

No, magneto just ripped the adimantium off the bones and pulled it out through the skin.

 

SDragon

Key point: his skeleton is adamantium-laced, not pure adamantium. He still has bone in him.
