Deadpool and Wolverine

[rareboy]

Great romp.

Packed full of easter eggs, extemporization and cameos.

Haven't seen it yet but it's on the list - how did they do with his canon bisexuality?

 

[TickTockMan]

I gave it a 7/10. Much better than the second one.

Pretty much ignored. There was the one pegging joke from the trailer. And I think a joke when Wolverine is shirtless.

Thanks! But bah humbug for ignored.

Lots of sex and violence jokes, but very few sexuality jokes.

I'm still surprised they're (the movies) on Disney of all places. I bet Walt would be clutching his pearls if he only knew

I cried during the midcredit scene. It was showing footages from the first couple of xmen movies. The nostalgic feeling made me cry my eyes out. A 40 year old man crying in the middle of the theater!

Exactly... money, money, money, money, money....

Here comes Peloso throwing shade on your miasmal Marvel claptrap.

I still don't get it. I kind of wish I did because maybe I'm missing out. Maybe being introduced to the Marvel universe as a child would have helped.

Is it the irony? I mean, Ant Man? What's next, Gnat Girl? And wolverines are scavengers. They don't even have the balls to steal kills from other carnivores; they prefer rotting carcasses, which I suppose is a perfect metaphor here.

I really have no right to talk, considering all the shit films I hold near and dear, and yet I will go on: I once watched Venom and wasn't surprised: cookie cutter characterizations that could probably be improved by AI and a script that awkwardly bends over backwards to facilitate third rate jokes and poisons the narrative with lengthy diatribes that could just as easily express it's points through subtleties, something these films have no use for. Later I was told that Venom was not especially highly regarded among Marvel fans, is this true?

I just watched The Punisher, which was a Marvel movie in name only and basically a remake of John Wick. I liked a lot of what I saw, particularly Thomas Jane running around in no shirt for half the movie, and also the scene where an assassin comes into the cafe where Jane is eating, pulls a guitar (that was set up to be a gun) out of his guitar case, sings a song about how he's a dead man, and then walks out.

I have a copy of Deadpool which I'm saving in case I get the flu or break my leg or or something.

Are you familiar with the comics at all? I asked because the intricacies you pune for won't be recognized without familiarity.

Strip comics, yes, but not comic books, which I assume is what you mean.

I don't understand the connection. I liked comic book-based films like The Crow and Ghost World without being familiar with the source material.

I just don't understand how the bar could remain so consistently low after films like The Dark Knight came out. Oversaturation, I assume, plus the fact that no film franchise has ever maintained the quality of its original entries.
