I am and it no way changes what I said.
Flexing the claws, How does one flex claws?
All we saw is Magento holding Wolverine up and then he causes the claws to stretch outward.
Think about it.
In order for metal to bend it's has to bend at focal point. What was the focal point that Magento was bending them against.
We saw from the x-raw on Wolverine there isn't some solid Admantium base holding the claws in a fixed position. We also see that the claws are compacted when inside his forearms. Yet when he unsheathes them they naturally flair outward like this:
\|/ <-- out of forearms inside forearms |||
So they can move side to side otherwise Wolverine wouldn't be able to pop his claws if they stayed in one poistion or the other.
He also wouldn't be able to move his wrist at all if the claws base of the claws or where they attach to him weren't flexible somehow.
It's more reasonable he was simply causing the claws to stretch out even more causing Wolverine pain.
Also that's not what he says.
Magento says, "That remarkable metal doesn't run through your whole body does it?" or something like that.
Then he flings him backwards.
