BizarroAzrael posted:Does Green Lantern fit in the current DCCU? Are they going to want the character back, or is it fair to say between the movie itself and the start dunking on it hard we won't be seeing him again? Even if they wanted to reuse GL in DC movies, they could always use one of the other Earth Green Lanterns: Jon Stewart, Guy Gardner, or Kyle Rayner (all of who are arguably more interesting than Hal)

Reynolds as Gardner could have been amazing.

Hoo baby; in the comics back in the 70s or early 80s Hal and Jon were both GLs. Hal’s girlfriend became Star Sapphire and murdered a GL (who was Jon’s wife) in their kitchen. Jon was reasonably pissed, yanno as one gets when they come home and find their wife brutally murdered. Hal flew off w/ thought bubbles basically going ‘Boy Jon sure is mad. How unreasonable!’

^^^ Agreed. If I have any real complaint, that's it.^^^^LadyPictureShow posted:Hoo baby; in the comics back in the 70s or early 80s Hal and Jon were both GLs. Hal’s girlfriend became Star Sapphire and murdered a GL (who was Jon’s wife) in their kitchen. Hal Jordan is kind of weird. He's an example of an archetype which used to be super ubiquitous in all 50-60's science fiction dramas, but has pretty much ceased to exist since then: the Coldly Rational Masculine Hotshot Guy. Watch almost any black and white episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and you'll see this character, usually turning a chiseled jaw up into the sky and holding his love interest at arm's length as the last flying saucer crashes into the background, before ending the film by saying "Yes, but at what cost? At. What. Cost?" He's never an academic scientist but he's often a technician, he's rarely a soldier, but he's usually military-adjacent, like a test pilot or merchant sailor. The CRMHG is intelligent but not nerdy, risk-taking but not pleasure-seeking, and sexlessly chauvinistic and woman-hating and just generally possessing no real ability to connect with women on any level, except that, obviously, he still scores with chicks, but he does so by using his intellect and meta-physical virility and not, like, talking to them or poo poo. It's all heavily tied into this post-War pre-Reagan idea of science-y masculinity that was eventually staked out into the sun to die when Good Old American Know-How hosed Vietnam into an unending failure-hole, to be replaced by rogue maverick rule-breakers and schlubby blue-collar guys with daddy issues. But since it's also apparently the only thing that can give Geoff Johns an erection, we're probably still going to have to deal with Hal.

Codependent Poster posted:I'm looking forward to when Deadpool 2 wins best song a the Oscars. That chorus song toward the end was pretty amazing, I thought it was a real nice touch. It wasn't as fun as the rap from 1, but still real fun. Some real fun music choices for the mid-credit sequence, and the dubstep worked for me with the timing of it, though I kind of wish they'd gone with a different song there. I'm impressed with how many callbacks they pulled off to the first movie, and the more indirect callbacks where it was an extension of something from 1 like the big highlight in my theater and a definite high point for me the entire baby legs scene . The mid-credits ending had me absolutely in stitches, and I was left really hoping they went even further with it, I just never wanted it to stop. I've heard of one deleted scene already, I hope they shot like 10 of them and include them on the dvd, even without any VFX they might require beyond maybe setting up his mask. Just such a fun ending to a really fun movie, and far and away the best marvel-style credit bonus feature ever, nothing else is even remotely in the same league that I can recall.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:They’re not saying Juggernaut wasn’t in it, just that Black Tom was the main villain. It makes sense since the two of them were partners through most of the 90s. Apparently the current cut is about 20mins shorter than what was shown at SxSW. Juggxrnaught tested well and Black Tom didn’t so Tom gets whacked in reshoots and they add a little bit to show Juggie is still alive. That makes absolutely no sense at all. It wouldn't be an easy reshoot (as you would have to reshoot all of the action scenes where he appeared (which, if he was actually the primary villain, would be everything from at least the transport-escape through the end of the film)). What is significantly more likely is that the lovely rumor sites saw the name "Black Tom" in a casting notice, spun out some bullshit "exclusive" about how he was a major villain in this movie, and then when they were very clearly wrong tried to pretend it was a late-stage change. Also, Deadpool 2 wasn't screened at SXSW (either the festival or the surrounding corporate promo events).

Ubiquitous_ posted:Domino was the best part of the movie for me. Get her a spin-off. She was very, very, very cool and had some real action highlights while also having fun chemistry with everybody. If the X-force movie has Deadpool, Domino, Cable, Colossus, and a fun character like Psylocke or one with a real weird backstory and powerset like Fantomex on the hero side then I think it'll be a real fun time. Fanto's probably too similar to Deadpool in the "wears a mask and mostly uses guns and swords" department, but there's been tons of mutants on the team at one time or another and they can always grab one of the hundreds of mutants who haven't been in any movies and make them part of it. I'd really like them to finally take a run at putting Sinister in an X-men movie as the villain, but with Mojoworld being referenced I think you could do some absolutely insane stuff with the team stuck there. I'd also be totally down for more of a team vs. team aspect with them fighting a small number of talented foes instead of a swarm of mostly CGI baddies. I think we're basically guaranteed to see Deadpool, Domino and Cable on the team though, and with that at the core it's hard not to imagine a real fun time.

I think my favorite bit had to be the Vanisher. It seemed like just a one-note joke but I loved how they just went with it the floating parachute and finally the "oh he's going to hit the power...WTF?! Brad Pitt?!" reveal death. It was just so out of nowhere.

Taskmaster would be really fun, and a hell of a way to poke fun at the MCU if they're able to have him using a replica of Cap's shield, Hawkeye's bow, web shooters, etc. I'd enjoy seeing him on either side, and if you put him in a mask you can have a super sick stunt performer do all the fights he's in and dub his voice if you want Darth Vader style, or just land a real good actor if you give him a heavier part. Bullseye's plenty of fun too, easy to imagine fun fights with his abilities in the mix. As far as I know that specific cameo was done for scale and a cup of coffee, with it taking about 30 minutes total and being the last thing they shot for the movie like a month and a half ago. Edit: Oh, and I also really liked how they got Deadpool into his all-black X-force colored costume in the movie, I didn't expect that to be done that way but it really worked for me.

I didn't expect to like the first Deadpool and was pleasantly surprised, though jokewise it really toed the line between obnoxious and funny. Mainly a lot of the 'look how creatively we curse' didn't land for me. Untitled Deadpool Sequel was a total blast. Funny, great action and fun characters. I loved that they had so much more reference material with the comic book movies coming out in the interim and used it effectively. Zazie Beetz is the best. I was a little upset at first that Vanessa just got fridged to give Wade a 'get back on your feet' story, cause I liked her from the first movie. But pretty soon after Cable's time thingy got drawn attention to, I figured there might be a recon ending. Really great mid-credits thing there. If I had to complain, it would be TJ Miller's impossible to look at now without thinking "gently caress you, dick" and he repeatedly got the badly recycled joke of describing Wade's looks. I was really hoping Cable would just shoot him in his interrogation. I love that these movies can have room for the more fantastically stupid stuff from Marvel, like Mojoworld, or the impossibly ridiculous 90s character designs.

Iirc, way back when they were talking potential sequels to Deadpool, someone brought up Taskmaster and it appears that the rights for Taskmaster have returned to Disney/Marvel. Never thought I would be sad about Marvel getting back their film rights, Tasky would have been way more amazing in a DP movie over the MCU. Also, (minor reference) during the X-Force interview scene, was that a cutout of Outlaw/Inez at the doorway? It could have been a random cowgirl but it looked a lot like her outfit.

Just saw it again, looking for Easter eggs. I quickly realised that with no acceptable way to take note I would probably forget some. But: "Christopher Plumber *something* Deadpool 2" on the ticker when Karen is reporting on Russell's freak out. Shake Weight on Reynolds' desk If Cable could go back and do things different (slip Wade his token) why did he shoot him at all? Also something I just noticed watching the first one again, when Wade tells Francis he seriously has something in his teeth "this time", before being sealed in the vacuum tank, he actually does. Back to 2 god the Juggernaut voice thing is driving me mad, I swear he sounds familiar.

It's a TJ Miller joke. quote:If Cable could go back and do things different (slip Wade his token) why did he shoot him at all? Because the whole thing that made Russell turn good was Wade being willing to take the bullet. Russell didn't believe Wade was actually being sincere until Wade dove in front of that bullet, so Cable had to shoot. He just rigged it so Wade would live.
