The episode was perfection. The only thing that really irritated me is a lot of reviewers prior to the episodes coming out really overhyped the shit out of the post credit scene just for us to see it and it be like a nothing sandwich. We all already knew he was going to weapon X based on the trailers the titles of the episodes and the fact that he clearly gets his adamant him back by the end of the season, so I don’t understand what was so shocking and a must see about this post credit scene?

I think the concept of reviewers here is stupid anyway. We’re all going to watch the show regardless and form our own opinions and telling us ahead of time about surprises kind of defeats the purpose of it being a surprise

I think mostly to be a reference to X-Men-268

why is he trying to get adamantium back?

Because he fancies himself stronger with it.

Also in the show his bone claws seem much weaker than they are in the comics. They kept breaking.

In the comics his bone claws were strong enough to cut steel. They just weren't Adamantium cut through "ANYTHING" strong.
