I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Quote:Originally posted by Brenda: Yeah, I did. It was a cute ad from Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. I do love that idea. From my understanding of the two characters, Deadpool has always really just drove Wolverine crazier than he already is. And I also would just love me some more Wolverine. So, I think that is a Deadpool movie I will enjoy.

So, I think that is a Deadpool movie I will enjoy. Yeah. I LOVED the first Deadpool but never got around to watching the 2nd one. I've never even watched Logan, although that movie has been on my list of movies I want to watch. It's long been spoiled for me, so I like how they explained how Logan took place in 2029 and Deadpool 3 takes place "now", so it would be before Logan died. I've only ever seen the first two X-Men movies. It was pretty thrilling to see when the first one came out since I'd been a X-Men fan from the comics and the cartoon when I was a kid, but I was already in college and had kind of outgrown superhero stuff by then. I never saw any X-Men stuff beyond the first 2 movies. I'm psyched about the idea of Hugh doing Wolverine again in another Deadpool movie. I can't even imagine how psyched Ryan Reynolds is since he HATED how Deadpool was portrayed in Wolverine Origins when they were last in a movie together as those characters. No doubt there are going to be a few really good jokes at that movie's expense. My only concern is that Disney owns the properties now. It seems that anything they touch gets ruined these days. I'm hoping they allow DP3 to maintain its R rating and they let Ryan Reynolds call all the shots like they did before. -------------------------------------------------- Falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus

Quote:Yeah, that was a good idea that they did. Last thing they want to do is turn off their audience.
Quote:I've seen all three of the X-Men movies. I got into X-Men and Wolverine when I was in high school though I had been collecting comics for a while by then. I started with the Mighty Thor.
Quote:I saw Wolverine: Origins too and wasn't pleased with what was done with Wolverine's character. I think I discussed the film on this board somewhere along the line. I hope they do.
Quote:Yeah, all we can do is hope that they let Ryan and Hugh call the shots on the movie.

I loved it, but comedy is very subjective. It's not like there was much of a story to it, but that's kind of how I feel about most superhero movies. If it weren't Ryan Reynolds in the role and also the fact they finally gave him free reign to make Deadpool right, it wouldn't have been any good.

Quote:Originally posted by Brenda: Well, I also never read the Deadpool comics though I knew who the character was and a bit of his background. But couldn't get into the movie. So gave up.
Quote:I know. I've heard those phrases too and just basically ignore them. Ryan and Hugh seem to be a little more caring of their audience which is great.
Quote:I have a copy of Logan but haven't been able to bring myself to watch it knowing that Logan is dying in it. Makes me think of the comic "Old Man Logan" which Logan is dying in the comic. I love my Wolverine!!!!! Can't watch him die. *L*
Quote:Yup and I have pretty well liked each one. Well, I am older than you and looking after my mum when she was sick. So yeah got to see them all.
Quote:I wasn't collecting to make money. It was just a hobby that I started when I was getting out of elementary school and moving into high school. Thor was the first comic book I bought I think. Buy the time I had to sell my collection I think I have almost 1,000 comics. Had to sell them as I had no place to keep them after my mum died and I had to do all that moving around. There used to be a really cool comic store in my city and the owners were great people but they are both gone now and their kids had no interest in the business, so it folded.
Quote:I have got a few newer comics now but if I want to try and find any of the ones I had I would have to go into Vancouver and just not my thing.
Quote:Origins outside of the experimentation on Wolverine to me basically rewrote some of his backstory and that bugged me. I hate when movies start rewriting characters that I love like Wolverine and that has always been my problem with the Thor movies too.
Quote:I agree with you from what I know about Ryan and Hugh they totally are. And if you are doing movies like these that's the type of guys you need.

But couldn't get into the movie. So gave up. I knew who Deadpool was by the time Deadpool came out because my younger brother was a huge fan. He was also a huge fan of Ryan Reynolds ever since Van Wilder. So it was funny hearing Ryan crap all over Wolverine Origins and say all the things my brother said about the character. Quote:I know. I've heard those phrases too and just basically ignore them. Ryan and Hugh seem to be a little more caring of their audience which is great. I think most people do ignore them. Especially all these years later. Those phrases only seem to come out when the movie or TV show is just bad. There's plenty of movies, tv shows and characters that had female or minority leads that I've loved throughout my life without somebody having to guilt me into watching them. One thing in particular that is always going to stick in my craw was when they released Black Panther and "everyone" was saying "finally! A black superhero lead!", while forgetting completely that Wesley Snipes did Blade before Hugh Jackman did Wolverine and Toby McGuire did Spider-Man. And the Blade movies were freakin' awesome. Quote:I have a copy of Logan but haven't been able to bring myself to watch it knowing that Logan is dying in it. Makes me think of the comic "Old Man Logan" which Logan is dying in the comic. I love my Wolverine!!!!! Can't watch him die. *L* Hehe... I get it. Sometimes when I read a book that I really loved I don't read the last page. Then the story never ends and I get to imagine what happened next. I'm okay with a character I really like dying though, as long as the death meant something. Quote:Yup and I have pretty well liked each one. Well, I am older than you and looking after my mum when she was sick. So yeah got to see them all. I'm sure I'll watch them someday. I didn't hate them like I do most superhero flicks after the first Iron Man. Quote:I wasn't collecting to make money. It was just a hobby that I started when I was getting out of elementary school and moving into high school. Thor was the first comic book I bought I think. Buy the time I had to sell my collection I think I have almost 1,000 comics. Had to sell them as I had no place to keep them after my mum died and I had to do all that moving around. There used to be a really cool comic store in my city and the owners were great people but they are both gone now and their kids had no interest in the business, so it folded. Bummer to hear you had to sell your collection and about the store closing. I was always collecting crap that I thought was going to be worth something because the "price guides" were all a scam (there's videos on that topic in great detail now). The only thing I ever bought that was worth any money as a kid was a handful of Magic the Gathering game cards. But the ones that are now worth over $1k each I gave away to a friend back in high school in trade for a Sega Genesis and a Turbo Grafx 16 and a few dozen games that my youngest brother ended up selling to GameStop in trade after I moved out. The rest of my collection is probably worth about $2k right now, but the three cards I gave away are worth more than the other thousands of cards I still have. They're all in mint condition too. Quote:I have got a few newer comics now but if I want to try and find any of the ones I had I would have to go into Vancouver and just not my thing. You may have some luck finding digital versions online if you wanted to read them again. Second is always posting links to the new Firefly comics. I know that I've found a few I was looking for online, but I don't remember where I got them from though. Quote:Origins outside of the experimentation on Wolverine to me basically rewrote some of his backstory and that bugged me. I hate when movies start rewriting characters that I love like Wolverine and that has always been my problem with the Thor movies too. From what I hear, they all do that. I watch some guys on YouTube that were hardcore fans of almost everything comic book and they'll tear all these Hollywood movies apart. One of their biggest gripes are how Marvel went straight to Infinity War when there were so many other stories to tell, and now they're left with a bunch of D-Tier super heroes and stories that nobody cares about in Phase 4 when they could have spent the next 10 years building up to IW and not cutting so many corners and twisting everything up just to get to the multi-billion blockbuster.
