You sort of acknowledge this, but that's totally just you. The big jokes very much landed for most of the people who saw the movie, so it's not really case of Leitch being bad at comedy, as much as his style just not jiving with you.

I think you said you didn't find the X-force death scene funny, and I think most people are calling it the best scene in the movie. In the 100% packed theater I saw it in everyone was laughing harder than I've heard in a long time. It seems that the general consensus of this thread as well.

Our theater's biggest hit was baby legs Deadpool, which I think has been echoed a few times by others.

Second place was probably the final mid-credit scene.

The X-Force death sequence would have been funnier without cutting to Deadpool riffing after every one.

As someone who thought the first movie was so-so, this movie completely blew the first one out of the water. The end credit scenes is when our audience lost their poo poo laughing.

Turning Domino black with a white vitiligo eye was a great idea. Was there any serious backlash from nerds about that this time round?

Probably. Change the color of a comic book costume one shade off in the movie and somebody is bound to lose their poo poo.

I think that's the same as the one I linked. Now that you mention it though, I thought the one at the end of the credits had the Juggernaut by name in it, but the youtube version doesn't mention him.

Yeah, at least parts of it played during the Juggy fight, but it was kind of subtle with all the other sound effects going off. That reply above was my thought process. "Is that choir singing... holy poo poo?"

This was good and definitely a worthy sequel. While almost everything was better than the first film (visuals, amount of rad characters) I think I still laughed more at that one. Some stuff like the "holy crapping tittyfuckballs" or whatever lines is getting a little stale now. Not a fan of them killing off Vanessa, especially because they seem to want it to be a genuine emotional moment and it doesn't work in a movie like this, kinda like all the "OMG SHE WON'T LOVE ME NOW I'M UGLY" stuff from the first one. They barely even make fun of it outside of the credits. But baby legs and ripping in half and X-Force deaths and cameos and stuff like that was all amazing.

This movie is solid as hell. It felt like the ultra violence was turned down a bit but then you have scenes where Deadpool is ripped in half. The music queues were 100% on point and well used.

My top favorite things are

2) Celion Dion Bond Opening, this is better MGS3 song opening.
3) Domino, I can't tell if I like she because she is really charismatic, or hot, or the writing is good. Maybe its her hair.

Honorable mention, Cable's weapon system. Yeah I am a nerd.

yeah, it's a real shame about Terry Crews. That dude is loving hilarious and was completely wasted in this movie. The only thing I remember him doing is parroting the Xmen "Trainee" line, even though as far as I could tell, he shouldn't or couldn't have known that

I was also kinda upset about another spoiler that someone touched on earlier
[Captain Obvious] we really don't get much into Cable's backstory. As far as I could tell, he's just a dude from the future with a grudge against a nerd. I think it could've been a fun note for Cable to talk about his powers only to have Deadpool cut him off for comedic effect.

But I feel like they very deliberately withheld exactly how strong Cable is for a future movie.[/captain obvious]


The preview screening I went to had a quick clip of Deadpool reminding the audience not to share spoilers before the embargo date, don't record any footage of the movie, and also not to look up Cable's backstory at all because it's complete nonsense, so I don't think they'll elaborate much more on his past.

In fairness, they're right. Cable has the dumbest, most convoluted backstory of any comic book character.

^^^ Agreed. If I have any real complaint, that's it.^^^^


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.

I found old GL comics at my grandma’s house that my mom bought; so like late 50s/early 60s. They were super racist to ‘Pie Face’ and Hal hit every stereotype you mentioned.

If/when they make a GLC movie, I hope they have my favorite duo: Isamot and Vahn. They were on opposing sides of a space war and ended up as sector partners when the rings picked them. Eventually Vahn got his legs burned off, so Isamot (a lizard man that regenerates limbs) got their medic to cut his own legs off and give them to Vahn. He was pissed because his planet was super racist.

I was actually vaguely disappointed that they didn't throw more shade at it. I understand that you want most jokes to not require comic knowledge but c'mon. They've already sort of retconned some bits anyway! As far as we know, Hope's his actual daughter -- not a girl from a hospital ward that was the first mutant born after a mutant apocalypse and as a baby was the target of assassination by one time-traveller but was saved by Cable who then raised her as his own while jumping forward centuries at a time while relentlessly pursued by someone from a different timeline because I think his time machine breaks and can only go in one direction and

The first one was the most successful film in the entire X-Men franchise and the second is following suit so the other X-Men should feel privileged if Deadpool allows them to come play. :colbert:

Edit: and all those other movies had production budgets roughly around $100 - $200 million (except the original X-Men which was only $75m) and Fox not only had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the table on DP but they only gave it a budget of $58m and it still outperformed all those other big ensemble movies.

I'm surprised DP2 had the balls to do a joke about Star Wars sisterfucking. Marvel is fair game, that IP ends when the super hero movie bubble bursts. Star Wars, however, will print money until the end of time. You don't get to gently caress with it if you're under the Disney banner.

Out of curiosity, how much power does Disney have over Deadpool at the moment?
