I miss the days when it was enough to just say there was adamantium in there, without needing to know the exact specifics. I'd rather worry about what the character is doing than how he's put together.

I bet Wolverine could be killed if you dropped him into the middle of the ocean. Nobody with his powers or less could swim that far without succumbing to complete exhaustion, and he's not immune to drowning, is he?

But today's Wolverine would not get exhausted. His instant healing factor would keep his muscles from becoming fatigued.

Recent issues of Wolverine have now reset his healing factor back to
how it was years ago. A lot of this sort of thing going on over at
Marvel at the moment. Cannot think why.

Yeah that was a good thing. But it will only stick if writers other than Guggenheim pick it up and continue. I don't have a lot of faith that this will happen. There is a woeful lack of consistency in the Marvel Universe these days. Look at how the post-Civil War Tony Stark is portrayed. Some books he's a prick some books he's a well intentioned guy doing his best.

The Wolverine I liked was the one who had to constantly be scolded by Cyclops to THINK.

I thought the bone claw idea was great. I still can not see any real reason whey he SHOULDN'T have them.
As far as the Adamantium in the bones goes, I always kind of pictured that the metal was kind of like a very fine coating of the super strong metal with gaps in it just big enough for blood to flow through.
I like the idea that the charachter has matured over the years. Being the one-trick poney of the hothead always being reckless and losing his temper get's old. Being irresponsible is a charachter flaw, but boils down to the charachter doing something stupid. If there is one thing that knocks me out of a book the fastest is seeing the charachter making the same mistakes over and over. It is like seeing Spider-Man beat Electro the SAME way over and over again. I have already seen it, give me something new. And please spare me the "well if you don't like it you have outgrown comic books and leave them to us REAL fans" garbage. I have seen that too, so try something new.
I liked seeing him get past that in the same way that Hawkeye and Johnny Storm and Guy Gardner have. Hawkeye was never as interesting a charachter at any point in his history as he was when he was leading the WCA and later the GLA.

Let's start and end with the fact that they are practically useless.
Yeah, that too.

Honestly, I've never cared overly much for Wolverine.
Yeah, I know...heresy.
There've been "Wolverine moments" here and there that I've enjoyed over the years, but the character himself...never warmed to him.
As far as the bone claws go...enh. Less problematic if you take the exact opposite approach that they took in the books: instead of the adamantium having been grafted to the bone claws, the bone claws are his body's/healing factor's response to the adamantium claws being ripped out.

The ghost of Supergirl showed up in a story published after the
hoopla surrounding MAN OF STEEL. A story drawn by the editor in chief
who had hired me to do MoS.
Consistency in comics? It is to laugh!

You were born in 1970, Todd. You "met" the wrong Wolverine. By the
time you started reading comics, he was fast mutating (no pun) beyond
everything that had really made him "cool". I was already fighting it when I
left the book, and it steamrolled once I was gone.

Less Wolverine is definitely more.
