I think there is also a difference in how the adamantium was applied between Logan and Bullseye. Like Bullseye had his bones laced with it where Logan had his entirely coated.

So it's what, the amount? Someone worked out the LD50? Cause I want to read an issue all about adamantium enhanced lab mice. With an increasingly desperate janitor setting up ever more ludicrous traps, modelled after Bill Murray in Caddyshack.

Up to the janitor that's probably a We3 What If.

I think it was mentioned in the Wolverine issue of the Fatal Attractions storyline, soon after the Adamantium was ripped out of him. He mentioned his healing factor was boosted now it didn't have to deal with the metal.

It was both.
In the immediate aftermath to Fatal Attractions his Healing Factor was shot because it took so much work to keep him alive from having metal shoot out from all his bones.
But like a DBZ character his Healing Factor came back stronger than when he had Adamtium inside him.

Apart from that they have been consistent with the idea that Adamantium is poisonous to Wolvie and if his Healing Factor is switched off he needs some non-descript medicine to stay alive. In Frank Tieri's run he had to get this medicine when he was in the Cage, a magical power dampening story.

Interestingly even though Bullseye has Adamantuim Bones no mention of if he needs medicine for that.

Also, fun fact, when you put Adamantuim onto bones it gets changed to Adamantium Beta which as a metal has different properties to normal Adamantium.
It's never been explained what those properties are, but if you ever need a No-prize explanation why things that can cut Adamantium can't cut Wolverine's claws, there you go.

Supposedly they refined the process between when Wolverine got it and when Bullseye got it.

Invisibles is such a 90s thing that it's hard to imagine it being on screen in 2018.

On the other hand: timeless conflict, in fact fairly poignant theme if anything, super diverse cast, and the Matrix craze that would have had people cry rip-off is well and truly behind us. Carefully optimistic.

Spent my walletfull, on a jpeg, desolate, will croberts make a whale of me yet?
What did everyone think of Daredevil s3? I really enjoyed it,much better than season 2.

Best bits : Poindexter was great,very entertaining and threatening,his spiral into madness was terrifying and also hilarious (the dead body in the car,holy gently caress haha!)

I like they took certain pieces from the born again storyline (the impostor in the daredevil suit,the taxi in the river)

vincent donofrio as always is loving perfect,as are karen matt and foggy.

thing i wasn't so sure about : so daredevil said right at the beginning that he couldn't see which i assume means he's now just literally a blind dude (with other super senses like touch and hearing and stuff) are we to assume he doesn't have daredevil vison tm?

i wanted poindexter to use guns more but i guess he would have been unstoppable so i sort of understand that

during the big one take fight sequence there was a lot of missed punches lol especially when the inmate in disguise threw the other inmate to the floor and was meant to be punching him,he was nowhere near but i imagine that poo poo's hard as hell to film.

also matt's stunt double was clearly not him and even the back of fisks head wasnt donofrio but these are just nitpicky things.

im glad quiff boy died,gently caress that guy.

also did anyone notice the parker and morales easter egg?

That's definitely a better choice than the dude who was in the movie.

They should adjust it so that Ozy is the Watchmen Earth's Alfred Pennyworth.

This season of Supergirl introduced a trans character played by a trans actress who gave a big speech about the poo poo they've seen as a trans person in America and as far as I know nobody has flipped out about it.

Ironically the actual Church of Satan had more of a public outcry over Sabrina. I mean I'm sure other churches did too but I guess everyone just kind of expects that these days so it wasn't big news.

There's too much culture going too fast nowadays for an old fashioned moral panic. People freaked out about gangsta rap in the nineties, but nowadays a musician as popular and controversial as XXXtentacion is dead before anyone over the age of 30 had figured out that was a person's name and not the result of a cat walking over a keyboard.

The Satanic Temple isn't the same thing as the Church of Satan and are a separation of church and state watch dog group not an actual temple and not actual satanists. So it does make a lot of sense they'd be legally minded about this stuff.

I don't know about that part though, feels like saying Lutheran's aren't Christian because they're not Catholic. Unless you mean they aren't specifically a church because they still perform ceremonies and ritual.

Technically proper Satanists are just Atheists with maybe some magic/Wicca leanings anyway. Nobody literally "worships" the Devil, that's Christian propaganda and just silly.

Exactly, the Church is too Randian, the Temple does good work and I think (personally) are better Satanists.
The Church split in two after LaVey died anyway right? I think the one run by his daughter does charity work still.
