The MSJ posted:According to the director, if you love the Cable & Deadpool comic series you will also love Deadpool 2. From what I've read of that it's generally pretty good; Cable makes a surprisingly good straight man for Deadpool. Part of the joke is that Cable's whole deal is so ridiculous that Deadpool is one of the few people who'll believe him, let alone take him seriously. Also that having a semi-functional psychopath around makes Cable think twice about his actions because he's trying to set an example.

The parallels to Rocket are absurd because one's an rear end in a top hat and the other kidnapped children and was an accessory to their murder. The way I took it, he thought he had been taking kids back to their father and stopped once he found out what was happening to them. When he found out, he kidnapped the last kid to make sure no one would take him to that fate.

He goes through the ship dealing death to men he's known for years. Are they all bad? The heroes of the battle of Xandar from GotG 1? Those who sided with him in the Mexican standoff a little earlier in this movie? Yondu seems to think so and he has a heck of a good time killing them all; the movie plays a spaceship crushing a dozen people for laughs. This isn't a desperate and daring escape, either, as Yondu calmly walks not towards an escape pod, but towards a control center to better carry out the systematic murder of every living soul in the ship. This is cool and good and cathartic and rad. seravid fucked around with this message at 12:48 on Aug 14, 2017 |

I mean, the crew had just literally murdered almost every crew member who was friendly with Yondu, and showed every sign of enjoying it in the process. Revenge is pretty much a given there; not to mention they had outright committed mutiny, because Yondu wasn't being hostile and rapacious enough. (or at least, not turning in Peter, a former crewmate, for the bounty on his head) Of course it was pretty hosed up and there's a big point how Yondu is not a good person, but it made for a helluva visual of a buncha aliens being killed in extremely stylish ways by a song-controlled space arrow. The Guardians movies kinda make a point of how proper heroics is rare and difficult out in space, not least because law and order is rare and concentrated. Even Rocket, who can't really function in civilised society, respects Nova to an extent because they mostly keep poo poo in order in their territory and aren't overly destructive and oppressive like the Kree, who are willing to tacitly support a religious fanatic committing ritual war crimes. And one of the superpowers in the setting is Thanos, who from all indications regularly commits atrocities, murders and enslaves with impunity because he's effectively a higher-tier god. Gamora and Nebula are basically from planets like Earth who didn't have the Avengers to stop alien invasions. poo poo's hosed up out in space, basically.

The ones who sided with him earlier had already been executed via airlock by taserface. Only people left on board were mutineers.

I forgot about the airlock scene, but "only people left" is in the hundreds. That's a lot of bad apples. Whatever the case, I like a good revenge story as much as the next guy and this was not it. This was gratuitous and off-putting.

I think, just on screen, there had to be over a hundred, with a lot more implied. Coupled with how easy it is for him to kill them, it ends up kind of uncomfortable. Fake edit: According to those 'how many kills' videos, it's about 130. Which, to put it in perspective, is about as many as John Wick kills in the entirety of the second movie.

I mean, really though, it perfectly illustrates the nerd revenge/power fantasy. Which is what this movie series in particular caters to in every way.

I'm not trying to be flip - it seems like a lot of stuntpeople are getting seriously hurt/killed. Is this because it's actually getting more dangerous or people are actually paying attention or the movies are employing tons more of them, so they are statistically more likely to get wounded/killed?

I think it's just because people pay more attention and have access to that information quicker. Real stunts are becoming a dwindling commodity in this CGI world. Maybe that's leading to more extreme stunts, who knows. But I just think it's because we don't find out about these things. Like in Road Warrior where that biker goes forward flipping through the air. It was an incredible stunt, but it was a mistake caught on film and that his legs hit the thing which caused him to go into that flip (breaking both his legs). No one at the time when the film came out would know that unless someone read an interview where someone from the crew talked about it.

Yeah, I imagine stunt workers have always suffered from avoidable tragedies. Its just now you'll have major stars or movie people tweeting about it and lots of online people covering these productions and stuff that will draw attention.

No one at the time when the film came out would know that unless someone read an interview where someone from the crew talked about it. With Road Warrior it was almost the opposite because it was widely assumed that two stuntmen died during its filming until the late 90s/early 00s. I read an article about how stuntwomen are twice as injury prone as stuntmen because they have to look like which ever star actress so they have to do the stunts in like a tight cool looking outfit while a guy will be able to have padding/armor in some cases on underneath their clothes. If you watch the film Atlantis Interceptors, you always know when an action scene is coming up because massive kneepads appear under the main characters' pants as it goes from one shot to another.
