Maryokutai Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Still so weird to me this is all happening under the Disney umbrella, but absolutely the right call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 To be honest, I just can't see it being this subversive edgy thing that the original was. Like it's hard to see how that aligns with their 4 quadrant focus tested stuff At the same time though, I guess that the MCU is in a position where not taking a risk is itself a risk, and with no other films out this year it's exactly the kinda thing that would regenerate interest in the property, even if not necessarily the whole connected universe thing. edit you'd wonder with the 4th wall breaking meta aspect will be film indirectly be about a rehabilitation of what these films are, and is Deadpool a sort of multiverse janitor to sort out the shitty bits that are losing audiences. That would be an interesting angle, 'Marvel Jesus' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I liked the previous 2 Deadpool films but I definitely wasn’t in to them the same way other people were I’m already more excited for this than the previous 2 put together. It’s not even the Wolverine part, I just want Deadpool to stay the same way he has been in the previous films (which it really looks like that) and just shove him straight in to the MCU. There’s just so much potential for his bullshit now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Interesting to only address the TVA and Wolverine in the first trailer. Not a recognisable villain (aside from Pyro) or the other "rumoured" guest stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be an interesting angle, 'Marvel Jesus' I don’t know if he’s clearing up the shitty bits, but rewatching the trailer the snowy forest bit does look like the beginning of Age of Ultron, and the TVA are there so maybe Deadpool drags Wolverine around MCU history or something? Maybe it’s sort of like the 2nd act of Avengers Endgame where the Avengers revisit bits from previous films. But where as that felt like an over extended pat on the back/victor lap, maybe Deadpool is just fucking around in different MCU films and doing things “in the background” which changes context for some events. Unlike Endgame where it was ‘serious’ Deadpool is just a fuck up and taking the piss. Maybe that’s why he says he’s Marvel Jesus Or maybe it’s just a snowy forest, I dunno. The action already looks so much better in this film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The action already looks so much better in this film I think this is probably about right. The scene where he gets punched through a wall into something, is the 20th Century Fox logo. I imagine they'll be hoping about between all the Marvel stuff they've done so far, super meta, probably too much so I guess I'm looking forward to this? I liked the other two Deadpool films, but also find them a bit try hard as well, and worry that this will just amp up the try hard stuff beyond my tolerance, we'll see though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 1 thing I really like about the Deadpool films is that Deadpool has the mask on for so much of the film. It makes me believe Ryan Reynolds when he says he loves playing this character. And because of that he seems to not mind having the mask on all the time. How many comic book films where the mask always comes off is always a shame to me (and it does in Deadpool too, but less so) I respect that. And it reminds me of the discussion lately around the Halo TV series where people are saying Chief’s Helmet is he’s face - same with comic book characters. Spider-Man’s mask is what Spider-Man looks like, it’s not Tom Holland. And I think the Deadpool movies not only get that, but love actually showing Deadpool - if that makes sense 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 This trailer broke records, apparently. That's as sure a sign as anything I'd say as to the star power of a Reynolds and Jackman teamup. There was a thing years ago where Anthony Mackie was lamenting that these films don't create movie stars, that it's about the characters. Wonder though if there's a shift where the movie stars are what's needed to carry audiences in again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryokutai Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Wonder why they didn't keep Krasinski, I think he actually looked the part. His scenes were dumb, sure, but that's a writer problem. The more important casting choice for this will be Dr. Doom though. At least I suppose this will be the movie that'll introduce him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reaction to the announced cast has been near overwhelmingly positive. However, his casting is the question that has immediately followed all praise.

Maryokutai Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 He's kind of the make-or-break character for this, especially if they want to re-use him in other MCU stuff going forward. Anything less than 'Patrick Stewart as Xavier' levels of basically perfect will be a disappointment I think. Especially as it'll mostly be about the voice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if there’s any credibility to that theory at all but if they do then it becomes even more important to get the casting right But also Galactus, baby. I think we’re going to get the real deal this time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’re going to get the real deal this time It will help this time that, regardless of what people thought of their feature films. The Celestials, Ego and Eternity have all been established. So Galactus won't be judged as "too silly" to be depicted with his original design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
