Amph Deadpool, the (Golden Globe-nominated) Movies!

I know just enough about Deadpool (meaning his background, wise mouth, 4th wall) and that's it. He truly does make fun of the superhero assassin etc. and that's plenty for me.

 

Spoiler

That'd be such a shame, and such a waste of Morena Baccarin.

 

Spoiler

Why would it be a waste? She's a great actress, and the role is pretty good. She doesn't need to play a mutant, especially one that's basically identical to an existing one.

And, anyway, the end of the script kind of hinted towards Vanessa receiving an, let's say, upgrade.

 

Spoiler

Because, unless they're written REALLY well, straight-up love interests tend to bore me. There's a reason why my favorite MCU "love interests," Peggy Carter, Pepper Potts, Claire Temple, etc AREN'T just that. And Morena has proven she can be awesome, so seeing her reduced to just "Deadpool's GF" and used for sex appeal just sounds like a waste to me. There are plenty of ways to differentiate her from Mystique (unless you believe that powers are the defining part of a character's character, which I don't).

And as for the last part, it sounds like another "just wait, we'll get to it eventually," type of deal. And I'm getting really tired of studios doing that. I didn't like it with Hope van Dyne in Ant Man it sounds equally lame here.

 

Spoiler

Yeah, like giving her no powers. There, completely different and able to become a character instead of a CGI orgasm. Ta-dah!

 

It looks like if a Kevin smith movie mixed with a Marvel movie, Sign me up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Plus,

Spoiler

If Deadpool does eventually cross back over into the X-Men movies, AND Jennifer Lawerence doesn't return as Mystique in future movies, then they have Copycat origin in reserve to play out as a replacement for Lawerence's Mystique.

 

Mr. Sunday Movies: DEADPOOL Trailer Breakdown - Six Things You Missed

 

It's like a masked avocado is dry humping a carrot.

 

Reynolds described Deadpool as a "heavily armed talk show host" which I think is oddly apt. I think having Deadpool swear is a tad odd considering when he swears it gets ampersand speak in the comics but the violence in the books is pretty rated-R anyway (even though the comics are labeled "teen audiences". Meh, comic book rating system is wack.) and that angrily "look through the hole in his arm" gag very much feels like out of the book. I hope this movie does well because we kind of need the superhero comic book genre to start pushing the envelope and instead of just being mired in PG-13 blockbuster mode forever and ever. Also Baccarin looks amazing and the Negasonic Teenage Warhead chick I think is gonna be real fun just because she looks annoyed at the whole thing.

 

LOL, I love this thread. Hopefully the movie will as much fun/hysterical as seeing Black Dynamite and the Hangover (for the first time) in the theaters. Right now, I think I will probably be and that's great.

 

Go back to page six and see all the excited gifs The2ndQuest posted when the news about the movie finally getting greenlit was confirmed.

 

Well, not all of the comic book films need to be R rated. Parent groups won't be happy with that and merchandising will have a fit. Having Deadpool, Blade and the Punisher be R rated works since it fits with those characters. Marvel and Fox can take a loss on that kind of venture. But it doesn't need to be that way all around. Having Batman be a hard PG-13 like with "The Dark Knight" is fine.

Spoiler

I don't care about hypotheticals. There's is ZERO reason to take a character who's a Mutant in the comics and make her simply human here. And why is it always FEMALE (and minority) characters who get the "wait and see" treatment? Seriously, it's always "just wait, we'll get to them eventually, maybe, possibly" and we never seem to get that with Male/White ones. No, just do it NOW for once instead of this "maybe/possibly in a few years" crap (especially since this franchise has already gotten a lot of flak for underusing/underserving female/minority characters (which they have imo).

 

I hear you, but Copycat is ****. No loss here. Should have gone with Outlaw.

 

DEADPOOL and CABLE Reunite for Comics AND Movies! (Nerdist News w/ Jessica Chobot)

 

Huh, is Jessica Chobot is still trying to convince us she's into this geek ****?

 

Her inclusion in Mass Effect 3 was....odd.

 

Well that's interesting, at least he can't lie about not having a cameo this time.

 

It's semi-amusing when Stan Lee has a cameo in a movie featuring characters he claims to have co-created, but when he shows up in Deadpool or Captain America, when even he doesn't lie and say he authored them, it's cloying and stupid IMSIO.

 

He's the public face of Marvel, regardless. Still, kinda surreal seeing him hold a pair of pistols like that.

 

It might work as satire. Fortunately his scenes are never very long, and lately the various filmmakers have gotten creative with the idea. So we'll see how this one pans out.
