Yeah, there's always something at the end of these Marvel movies. I heard one ending has to do with Professor X. We'll see! I'm going Saturday.

After hearing about all the butchering they do with Deadpool, I have no interest in seeing this movie.

I hate Fox, so, so much.

Same but with Emma Frost and Gambit.

Fox, please go directly to heck. You get to skip the line.

I was never a fan of Emma, and Gambit is a poor man's Wolverine in my eyes, so I couldn't care less. But DEADPOOL! He's the Merc with a Mouth! He's so awesome!:brick:

Whatever the Character, the lack of Canon is the problem.




In Life, there are only two things. That which is Canon.

And that which is not.

This ain't no spoiler free thread. Give up the info!:lol:

*****SPOILERS*****

Pretty much Deadpool is given all the other mutant's powers, becoming Weapon XI. His mouth is sealed shut, and he is a pawn for Styker.

He never puts on the mask. He's never referred to as Deadpool. And Emma is Silver Fox's sister.

I hate this movie and I haven't even seen it.

^I only saw the workprint, but yeah...that's pretty much it.

However, as someone who is not concerned with any sort of X-Men lore or history....I dug the movie.:D

I went to buy tickets for tomorrow night's show.

Here's how it went down.

Me: Hi, I'd like to buy tickets for tomorrow night for Wolverine but your website hadn't listed the times. Can you tell me what times it is playing?

Old Lady: For tomarrah?

Me: Yep.

Old Lady: What movie?

Me: Wolverine.

Old Lady: What time?

Me: Can you tell me everything that's playing after 7.

Old Lady: We don't open until 10.

Me: No, 7 at night.

Old Lady: What movie was it again?

Me: Wolverine.

Old Lady: There is no Wolverine.

Me: The sign out front says there is...can you check again?

Old Lady: Nope, no Wolverine...these are the movies that are playing...

(She starts listing them...she runs down the whole list and gets to the final 3.)

...Knowing
...Earth
...X-Men 4

Me: That's it.

Old Lady: What?

Me: X-Men 4...that's the one.

Old Lady: I thought you said it was Wolverine?

Me: Same movie...

Then I bought the tickets and left. OY!

I agree. I discovered long ago that when I go to a movie or watch a TV show based on a book or if it is a remake of a previous show that it is not going to be nor should it be a word for word copy. I judge the movie based on the movie and not some preconceived notion of what it should be on how strictly it follows some imaginary cannon.

Personally, if you are going to make a movie based on a previously created canon and universe, you should at least try and follow said canon a little bit. Because this doesn't follow it at all.

I kind of leave that up to the director as to how much they follow it and I simply do not expect them to follow cannon at all. As a general rule I like it when they do stick to the story but I am not appose to a departure from the original work. It is a risk that the director and writers take that can either be great or can really suck. BSG was a huge risk and it turned out to be incredible. I guess what I am trying to say is I try to approach a remake with no prejudices or preconceptions. I seem to enjoy my movie time much more that way.
