Amph X-Men Movies & TV - Discussion

they never had that problem with Caesar Romero .

 

Deadpool was on FX last night and from what I saw was surprisingly unedited.

 

I caught the last minute or so of Deadpool on FX and saw the animated parts of the credits which featured an cartoon version of Deadpool with a growing erection, as well as Deadpool giving a "massage" to a unicorn until coitus.

 

I also caught the end. It cut out the f word when he said time to make the chimi-*******-changas, but the s word for poop wasn't cut, which isn't surprising since Negan says it and the d word about 20 times each per episode of the Walking Dead. Sure it's AMC vs FX, but what's the difference?

None of the violence seemed cut, at least during the final fight scene.

The TV was left on while I was doing other things, and Legion started to play for about 5 minutes. I was completely and utterly at a loss on what was going on.

 

Yeah it turned around to dove right back into the pool without even a few minutes of drip drying.

There were moments in that episode that felt like they were knocking on David Lynch's door. Well, the door of wherever he was at 20 years or so ago anyway. I'm still not sure WTH he was doing with the recent Twin Peaks.

 

That was weird even by Legion standards and that's saying a lot! Which is totally cool. The person at Division 3 who is three ladies talking at once is like something out of Grant Morrison's X-Men run where it's just mind bendingly insane. Rachel Keller is still one of my favourite people on the show next to Dan Stevens, her intro as cat was fantastic.

I do think it's a tad odd they went from fearing Division 3 to working for them off screen but we got more wacky mutants outta it so that's fine

 

I think we're talking past one another a bit. The question mark here doesn't arise from the particulars behind the desired cuts that the studios decided to go for in each case. With SS, Warner Brothers had the adverse reaction to BvS pushing them away from another movie knocked out of a similar mold. With NM Fox is peddling the idea that they have a highly regarded cut they're going to abandon in favor of something different that was presented in the trailer because it was so well received. That distinction is where the smell is coming from, for me at least. That's without taking into consideration that the response to the trailer, while good, wasn't thru the roof. The view counts for it aren't all that remarkable.

 

Well, episode two of Season 2 is a little more straight forward in the story telling in the regards you get a sense of the plot. However, as usual for this show, the unusual visual clues and other elements raise more questions and creates different dynamics.

I mean, the teeth chattering is so freakishly bizarre and creepy. Just hearing the sounds of it sends chills down my spine. And of course is the endearing qualities of the show.

 

In case you young kids didn't catch this reference in the last episode of Legion here's the full tilt. It's not a spoiler, just a piece of nostalgia that old geezers like me caught.


It's been like forever since I've heard this opening tune that I totally forgot above this TV show and spending days as a kid watching it.

 

If any one is wondering when the Fox/Disney deal is supposed to close, well the President of Fox, Peter Rice, said Spring-Summer of 2019 (should it be approved by the government).

 

Wow, talk about a blast from the past. I totally didn't catch that as the song they were humming to get Cary back out. I do remember it being on TV but I was pretty young. It used to run real early on Saturday mornings before the national network shows came on (we're talkin' pre-cable here kids). I'm guessing it was in syndication at that point.

 

hah, in the wrestling scene in Legion, David's outfit was with a "D". I'm assuming that's for David.

So unless they say what exactly the Future Catastrophe is (which is quite possible / probable they would) I would just think it's the Sentinels. (Fantastic line laying out the stakes "He killed a few. This killed everyone.") Personally, I just slot this show into the original pre-Logan going back to stop Mystique timeline mix even though it's much, much more sensible to have it be it's own timeline but I like to no prize continuity, dangit.

 

Well Cary did make a Shi'ar reference when he was studying the orb. It's probably just a movie tie-in for DP but maybe it was a foreshadowing of this future threat.

 

The last episode of Legion took an unexpected turn, but I suppose I should expect the unexpected. Moreover, it makes the viewer doubt what the were told in the previous episode.

So, yesterday, Bleeding Cool reported this: Kevin Feige ‘Hoovering Up’ Deadpool, Fantastic Four and X-Men for Marvel’s Phase 4? Dark Phoenix, the Last Fox X-Men Movie?

If the any validity to this story, it tells me that perhaps even though the Fox/Disney fall through, Marvel may still be able to re-obtain the rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four, especially if Fox is still looking to sell off its film and TV divisions. The reason why I feel this way, it's very likely that when Marvel licensed the rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four to Fox, the contract included a provision that stated these licensed comic book characters could not be transferred to another corporation without approval by Marvel, which Marvel would never approve. So, the X-Men and Fantastic Four is not something that Fox could sell off the rights to another corporation, and so it holds no real value in deal with another company. Therefore, since Fox can't sell the X-Men and Fantastic Four to another company, their best option is accept a buyout offer from Disney. So, I'm thinking there's a "Plan B" by Disney to get back the rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four should the overall deal between Fox and Disney fall through.

 

I really hope that's not happening. The thing I want most to happen with the X-Men movie series is for that announced X-23 movie to get made and I don't think it'll happen if the franchise gets an MCU reboot.

 

It'll be a bummer if Dark Phoenix ends on a cliffhanger. Maybe that's what the rumored reshoots are to fix.

 

My thoughts exactly. They were likely setting up another villain and now they are shooting a proper ending-possibly even removing hints of whatever storyline was to come next.

 

The Future Catastrophe could be David himself.

Which would mean they'd be doing kind of a Dawn of Justice type plot.

 

That was uber trippy on Legion with so much greatness, probably my favourite shot is when David touched the guy's forehead and the garden started exploding in the background.

 

Would have been better if it hadn't been spoiled in the prior clips of upcoming episodes.

 

Huh.
