"There is no God! Right, Mama?"

"True."


I bet they were right about to get started shooting then the Deadpool numbers came in, now the script is being retooled so Gambit only talks in cajun accented swears while he kinetically charges the bad guys heads and blows them up.

Au Confuckintraire mon bitchere!

More likely, they're going to try to bump up the humor, and probably not by rewriting the script, but by just tossing a few "jokes" into it.

Now with Deadpool being a success, Fox does not need another movie this year after Apocalypse. Makes more sense to pair Gambit with Wolverine in 2017.

I'd be down for an R rated heist romp in New Orleans during Mardi Gras with Mr. Sinister as the bad guy. Sinister hires Sabertooth, Birde, Juggernaut, Blob, C-Listers to steal something precious and Gambit assembles a team, let's say includes convincing a dude hunting him, Bishop, to do the same but to prevent a greater catastrophe like a war between clans...though his real target is the heart of X-Man Rogue who despises him (but bregrudingly will be won over by his charm) while he hides his past.

Gambit will spend half of the movie finding a way to stealthily remove Rogue's top with his powers. She'll end up admiring his dedication, and then they'll have a gratuitous sex scene.

I don't know, what's a better word for it? Diversity for the sake of diversity. Like every gang in a 90s movie has perfect racial parity, a white guy, a Latino guy, a black guy, an Asian guy, a punk woman, just like Power Rangers.

And then kids shows always have the episodes where someone in a wheelchair or with a terminal disease or something saves the day.

The Russos also took a moment during the panel to correct a mistake they made earlier this year when describing the plot to the upcoming "Avengers: Infinity War," which they are on board to direct.

The movie features 68 distinct characters, not 67.

That's ridiculous. I mean how am I supposed to care about all of them if they don't have individual movies to provide an origin story?

Like, I don't think ensemble films are impossible, but it was Ocean's 11, not Ocean's 68.

It'll probably be like the big battle at x-men last stand. Mooks who shoot off one blast and who only die hard comic fans will recognize from the 3 seconds on screen, before they get pulped by the main characters.

After the Earth explodes in a nuclear war, Godzilla is flung through space to a planet where everyone is a giant monster. Robbed of his size and power advantage, Godzilla must rely on its wits and cunning and extensive physical training to defeat evil.

Now I imagine Godzilla stuck as a Gladiator in a monster arena, befriending fellow prisoners Anguirus and Rodan while planning his escape.

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.

This is probably because they decided to put Hulk back in, according to Anthony Mackie in an interview that he probably got in trouble for.

Have there been more than 30 named characters who aren't antagonists or otherwise preoccupied (dead, etc)?

68 just sounds like the old bullshit where you have "millions of combinations" in your RPG because each character can do like 5 different classes.

No they're talking about Infinity War, which is probably going to have every Marvel character they've created in it at one point or another, including all the Netflix shows and Agents of SHIELD.

I hope they do that thing from the previous Avengers movies where they keep cutting away to reaction shots of the various characters, but it's dozens of people long and takes a couple minutes each rotation.
