No, but then again that wasn't the basis for my argument, and if you think somehow that it was, then it's little wonder that you're asking others about comic book interpretation.1. In character: could be to get ahold of his mane in order to get in better position for a more effective strike. Striking from a superior position is hard to do if the person under you offsets your base. Stabbing Creed in the back would do little to beat him.
In reality: Because both Thor and Sabretooth are established Marvel characters and as such Wolverine as to be toned down as much as the next guy.
2. Is more commonly what? Related to a strike I'm guessing? I would agree with you if it wasn't for the context of the rest of the issue. In fact I did agree with you the first time I skimmed the fight.
3. Again, Thor was already wounded a couple of times during that fight, Wolverine wouldn't necessarily have to attack him to make him yell out. He was obviously bothered by his wounds. OOORRRRR there was the other part of my argument which related to the noise being that of frustration or surprise, which is plausible.
Uh, no it's not.
To anyone skimming the issue maybe. To anyone reading it, not so much.
Except that there also was. 😐
Then I will ask again, why would he be more concerned with being cut than being stabbed?
That's ILLOGICAL.
No. It isn't.
And it's not even a point that he wasn't nursing his back, but that he WAS nursing his ribs.
There's no logical reason he'd be more hurt by a glancing shot to the ribs than being stabbed in the back simple as.
They don't. It's just that every wound Wolverine made, every shot he landed, WAS emphasized during the coarse of the fight, WITH THE EXCEPTION of Wolverine supposedly stabbing Thor in the back.
You think that's coincidence?
Yeah... 🙄 And I remember all the other coincidences that came up the last time Wolverine cut Thor up.
There are reasons, just not logical one as they pretain to Wolverine in that moment.
You know Wolverine was tanking WWH punches to the face and it wasn't causing his claws to auto retract right?
3rd point... eh I'll give you that, but again it's pretty convenient for your argument.
Not really. As Sran already pointed out, if you were stabbed and bleeding out being hit with a pillow or feather wouldn't hurt you, but you still wouldn't be ok.
True enough.
That's an irrelivent example as I don't have indestructible blades capible of cutting through anything.
Well that would be a pretty uneducated equally bias viewpoint.
Again, I used to think Wolverine DID stab him, but after more thought on the matter and a more in depth review I began to think that wasn't the case.
WHY would Wolverine aim for solid bone? Your argument beckons motive to be discussed here, but Creed had a wealth of appearances with an Adamantium skeleton, if Wolverine was trying to stab Creed what would be his motive to bypass organs, and go straight for his shoulder blades instead which may or may not be covered in Adamantium and probably would be if Sabretooth had another upgrade? Again, illogical.
BECAUSE he was hit with Mjolnir... the force of which likely liquified all his organs on impact.
It doesn't matter if he knew what he was being hit with, that's not the point, the point is that he would be in a bad state WHILE being hit with Mjolnir, so it hardly makes sense that he would rationalize himself into doing something that he doesn't usually do and retract his claws for fear of a bad landing. Again, illogical.
😐
No they don't...
People tend to panic while falling, often opting to push out towards the ground.
It's why we have to spend so much time teaching breakfalling to people who don't know how to fall in judo, otherwise there would be tons of broken arms and wrists in beginners class.
No reason other than the fact that he'd probably have a hard time rationalizing a plan as he was hit with Mjolnir, by someone he thought was Creed who he knows he can't afford to stop attacking for fear of Creed's counter. No reason except for the fact that he's well adept with his claws and has tons of fights running/jumping/falling/being hit with C100 blows and NOT retracting his claws on point of impact.
Again, illogical .
No.... 😐
I've been stabbed in the wrist, and I've had my wrist/arm cut. There was a wealth of difference between the two, but only one of those had me unable to use my hand and rushing off to the hospital.
Reaching for his back, reaching over his shoulder... a number of ways... don't pretend that they had "no choice" because they didn't want Thor to look silly.. now you're being silly.
As I've pointed out.. no.. it isn't.
