From my understanding, the retractable claws (bones) were a part of his mutant nature previous to the violent infusion of adamantium to his bones, so I don't think any sheaths would be involved in his biology. Even still, given how leverage works, the force required to cleave through something like steel with blades independent of a rigid structure anchoring them makes his functionality very much impossible without significant damage to the muscle that contains them. Maybe if he had adamantium gauntlets covering his entire forearms to stabilize his blades, they might work, but as far as I know, that's not been the case, and it would still be very stressful and painful on his body given the claws are a part of his body. Take three knives and place them between your fingers with the butts arranged in your palm and make a fist. Now slam them straight down with the force of a punch into a table intending to cut through it. They will come loose. Now imagine your loose hold is actually your muscle and flesh holding them in place. Nasty.
That's like my nightmare. I've never seen a tornado, but I dream about them at least twice a year.
Considering Wolverine has at one point in the comic regenerated from a single cell - which is some pure shonen anime shit, and that comes from someone who loves the ur example of that same shit - I don't think the claws are that big of a deal.
I know it's all fantasy, and whatever they say is possible is possible within the realm of said fantasy. I was just pondering how realistically, based on the sheer physics, Wolverine's arms and hands would be shredded whenever he tried to cut through anything substantial since the claws aren't anchored by anything save his tissue unless his tissue was somehow equally indestructible. Like I said, if he wore adamantium gauntlets, I could buy it; it'd probably still be painful, but at least more reasonable.
It's about the only natural disaster I have to worry about in my neck of the woods. That and flooding, but I live high up on hills so that's not an issue.
I would have hoped that you'd understand the implied fact that I'm feeling bad for getting things I want despite not manipulating people for it. I feel bad when there's no reason for me to feel bad.
Wait, what?? First off, that's ridiculous. Second, did he grow back with the adamantium skeleton? Because the metal isn't a part of his mutant nature; that was a procedure he underwent. And third, did his insurance cover the cost of having new adamantium applied to his newly regenerated skeleton?? So many questions!
Still utterly ridiculous, and doesn't explain if he got the adamantium back, but if they say he did... okay? Comics.
It's just a general life thing. Like.... "Oh boy! A story that's about X! I've always wanted to read a story about X!.... I probably shouldn't be excited, I'm getting X but what if this means someone else doesn't get Y?" or how I worry I've tricked someone into doing something wrong if they agree with an idea I have because I couldn't possibly have thought of something good.
Whenever you feel guilty, just think about how you are a minuscule insignificant speck in a vast universe and in 100 years, you and everybody you know will be dead and nothing will matter anymore. I'm sure you'll feel much better.
Same, but goodness I am incredibly indecisive about mine and have tried out about half a dozen this week.
I'm sure you'll come up with something. Pick whatever makes you feel happy or comfortable.
Amen to that. As a fatty for most of my life, when I first started getting pants tailored so they weren't 4 inches too long and 2 inches too wide or some shit, I felt a lot better dressing up. Sadly even now that I'm significantly slimmer pants still come either too baggy or too tight. If the legs are okay, then the waist will be too tight. If the waist is okay, then the legs will be too tight. Flat feet and wide thighs, the two curses that make buying clothes a pain in the ass for me.
