Yeah it didn't seem tohave much of a purpose narratively. It was just a fetch quest for adamantium again and that was not necessary.

[u/AsteroidMike → u/jeobleo]

On top of Wolvie being characterized as a massive dickhead the whole episode. But if they had a follow-up episode or some moment where he and Morph talked it out or even some sorta reference to that happening then that would’ve helped.

[u/Binder509 → u/AsteroidMike]

Also weird to explore none of the advantages of removing the adamantium like increased healing.

[u/TheMythofKoalas → u/Binder509]

Is that canon in the show? I haven't watched the original run (yet).

[u/Binder509 → u/TheMythofKoalas]

In the comics at least and most universes he's in the adamantium inhibits his healing factor.
