But they aren't ON his side though. They didn't cover up the side of his face. The fact that you can see 'em in front of him shows that. They would've been in positon to block punches coming from in front of him. Not those aimed directly @ the side of his face. Thus
Again, ihe took his claws down. . where are the claws in the him getting hit picture?
Oh yeah, okay well gotta go back on the "to the front AND the side" and say they were only in front of him.
Uhn uh
Again, his head is turned to the side slightly, You can tell by the black ears of his costume, other wise both would be ifn front.
From our perspective, he's turned to the side slightly. Then the claws are in front and to the side slightly from here. if hisd head were to be turned more to the fron the ears would be aligned, and the claws would be MORE to the side of his face than they are in the 3/4 veiw shot.
Which means in order to land that shot Spiderman would have to punch through the claws since they would be more on the side if Wolverine were turned more to the camera. Which means in order to hit the side of his head without punching the claws the claws would have to be removed.
Since the claws were removed when they were right there blocking, wolverine must have pulled the claws out of Spiderman's way.
Why would he go from a defensive poition, to a prone position like that unless he was intending to be hit?
Your whole premise of "wolverine didn't let him." is thus invalid. as he would have had to punch the claws if Wolverine were still fighting. the absence of the claws in the getting hit shot indicates they were removed, thus Wolverine was letting him.
The fact that the claws are between us and the camera in the 2/3 indicates they were more to the side, but slighty in fornt as I have indicated.
