Hey, I only AsKeD if Coy got it confused.😜 And I did it for people, like me, who go and read his recommendations. Got thru first 120+ issues since. Might be sacrilegious but this X book, is better before Chris Claremont took over.

This is a long one I’m sorry 😭: I really liked the episode and the horror aspect to it. The showing again of the adamantium bonding process was good as well as the relationship of Logan and Morph, but I feel it could’ve capitalized a bit more and maybe taken the shape more of a “Lifedeath” episode, but for Wolverine. Like Coy said, Logan was with bone claws for years and had to relearn how to be human with the help of other heroes like Daredevil and encouragement from other loved ones like Jubilee. I think the concept of going after the Weapon-X program is good but I’m just not sure the way that it was presented with the Brood was the best way given the history of the program and how it affected all of Wolverine and Team X’s lives and relationships with one another. Frankly, I’m not sure anyone besides Maverick would’ve joined Logan, maybe Kane, but definitely not Lady Deathstrike and Sabertooth. I see more of a conspiracy episode with flashbacks and DVD playings to give more insight into them as a group, and the episode kind of starts off that way with the Team just bantering about, until we pan to see Morph with Logan piloting the transport. I just don’t think the Weapon X program would’ve wanted to be found unless it wanted to be found. Maybe Sabertooth could’ve been luring them with Lady Deathstrike and instead of Logan getting adamantium Creed does revealing a subplot by Apocalypse for Logan setting up a sequel episode. The sequel would be sort of using the storyline where he fights Sabertooth for Apocalypse and eventually beats him bone clawed and takes Creed’s adamantium leading to Logan becoming a horseman, but doesn’t and gets saved by Jean and the X-Men or something. Overall, I just think this Wolverine subplot is good and while the episode does a great job presenting it the way it does, for me, I think it could’ve reached a new level and added as well to the overall season storyline plot. The show is too short (imo) to have fillers, especially for such a dense character as Wolverine. Love you guys, sorry for the read keep up the great content! 💙

Like at 5:06 Coy said Wendigo instead of Sasquatch minor short making the rounds it went viral there. Greg needs to get ready with song of Coy is wring song there. Many people said Coy made big mistake kind like Supergirl and Moana there. By the way Lockheed alien race is The Flock the lack of Kitty is bad there. Also the External showed in External Yours minor connection. Also Game Over is most known Aliens line. Like where is X-23 there. Next week is the Danger the robot like there,
