Next page, we see where she is in relation to GA's arrow. I mean, she IS faster...but not by much.
Looking like a consistent theme here.
Yeah, nice scans. Although it needs to be said that GA probably uses some special bow just like HE, right? So outrunning it from the very start is not some mild feat for WW.
Just saying.

Anybody else kinda disturbed by how violent the mass destruction and casualties were in Titans: Beast World?
It seemed like thousands, if not tens of thousands, of innocent civilians died in brutal fashion. Sure, more realistic given the scope of chaos but then the ending happened where
Spoiler:
it seemed like Beast Boy was literally killed piece by piece by DC's heroes and wouldn't come back and that was even more of a downer... but then, nah, starfish biology, so Beast Boy's back, yay!!!, happy ending despite thousands dying???
The last sting spoiler was a pleasant surprise but the ending just seemed so disconnected from the utter global massacre that occurred. Tonal whiplash felt way worse than what most Man of Steel critics complain about.
Seems Marvel has reinforced that Wolverine's adamantium skeleton is bonded with adamantium joints/tendons. He literally tears his hands and feet off in issue #42:
I suppose it was inevitable. Kinda need danger to make for good drama. And if someone is virtually immortal and nigh indestructible, there's only so many ways to give him impossible odds to strive against to highlight how badass they are.
We discussed it already on the previous page.

^ Derp on me for not clicking on the previous pages.
But that scan of your's doesn't necessarily contradict the present scene. Your scan shows him pulling his arm out intact. Which may have been his intention. The present scene has Logan throwing all caution to the wind and just severs his arm(s).
Either way, unless a future storyline suggests that Krakoan resurrection protocols were subject to mistakes, this is how Wolverine's adamantium skeleton operates.
And frankly, given that Cap's shield is far more difficult to replicate, the notion that the Five were screwing up stinks of some high-grade copium.

But... mistakes were made already. See Proteus and Laura.
Metal itself might be fine, but properly replicating the adamantium bonding process can sure be tricky for them.
Percy does whatever he wants and contradicts himself all the time:
^ What exactly are those scans supposed to prove? That when Wolverine was resurrected, the Five f@cked up?
They didn't **** up Captain America's shield for all we know. It strikes me that the only reason there's a theory that the Five f@cked up bringing back Logan is... because people don't like how Wolverine's adamantium skeleton is being clearly treated once the storyline decided to focus on it.
What would it even matter anyway? Whether it was an unforgivably blatant retcon (according to you, which it never really was) or it was always the way it was but for plot armor (my theory which honestly should not offend anybody's sensibilities)? It is what it is.

That Percy's work is inconsistent as fuck and Logan's skeleton is either completely indestructible - or gets torn apart - depending on his story needs at the time.

Aaand again, they fucked up with Laura.
If they couldn't get her right... then it's no wonder they failed to make Logan's skeleton inter-connected and with no weak points as the classic version.
Originally posted by StiltmanFTWEvery time I've seen the "joint/tendons" issue come up in this run of Wolverine, it has resulted in Wolverine getting bisected, his head cut off and now him cutting off his own hands and feet. So what exactly is so inconsistent?

Originally posted by StiltmanFTWWhy would Proteus accidentally upgrading Laura with a full adamantium-coated skeleton be proof that they downgraded Logan?

Not get it right? Proteus did something harder and better than what should have occurred. And you're acting like it's evidence that they completely screwed up Logan's resurrection... even though no such thing has been suggested when it comes to Wolverine himself. Also in direct contravention of Proteus' task of reconstituting Cap's shield which would be harder than reconstituting Wolverine's adamantium skeleton.
If you were being honest and logical... you'd recognize that there's a better argument that Wolverine is more improved than he ever was before because Proteus just thinks Logan is that amazing and all of Wolverine's best present feats were a result of this theoretical "upgrade". Read between the lines, as it were. But given there's not been the slightest overt hint of that "upgrade," it would be retarded to assume such a thing. Now flip that idiotic logic. Maybe now you'll start to understand why it pains me to even discuss this off-panel "downgrade" theory of your's.
Keep sniffing dat copium, bruh. I've known about it for years. It's called Wolverithmetics.
Originally posted by ParmaniacYes, well... the first part of what you said is exactly what has happened on-panel:
By this you could easily reduce Wolverine's adamantium skeleton down to his skull. Just decapitate him and let his body regrow.
Because someone who intimately knows Logan and his physical characteristics/enhancements would understand how to properly decapitate him delicately instead of just wildly swinging at his neck expecting his head to be lopped off.
^ If that's all you think I care about, surely I could be gloating in a far more objectionable manner. Any "debate" between you and I can be boiled down thusly:
"Yes, it's now more clear then it ever has been how his skeletal physiology works."
vs.
"D1s sh1t is an offensively blatant retcon that insults the character's history but, no, it's actually the result of an off-panel downgrade because... a different character... received an on-panel upgrade?!?!?!?!?"
Same ole Wolverithmetics, yo.
