Deadpool 2 Deadpool 2 News and Discussion - Part 1

[psylockolussus]

No according to that Manabyte, the first hour doesn't relate much to the plot. Something like that.

 

[imbruglia]

interesting, I saw this thisManabyte saying same thing about new mutants as our insider in new mutants thread.
maybe he got it from here or the tea on NM is really real.. lol

anyway, this is 1 opinion, and thisManabyte said it's not bad as people saying, but needs some fix. no need to freak out.

 

[psylockolussus]

His post was already deleted. Clearly, Fox is trying to do damage controI here. I wouldn't be surprised if the film overuses breaking the fourth wall and makes a parody of itself. From the clips and promos, they are emphazing more on the jokes and not the plot of the film. Well at least if it turned out to be bad, I wouldn't be dumbfounded by its quality because of Manabyte scoop.

I'll probably like it more. I don't like origins so Deadpool II will be better for rewatching.

Get outta town? They're going to go full throttle on a Deadpool movie? what are the odds?

 

[psylockolussus]

If Deadpool isn't as good would make it easier for MCU to replace the franchise

Yeah. If Deadpool 2 sucks, it would hurt Deadpool 3 and X-Force just because its predecessor didn't live up to the first movie and you know with bad movies, it could easily dwindle down the public's interest and hurt the box office performance. And there would be more possibility of Disney pulling the plug on Deadpool Fox movies if the films are inconsistent in quality and just reboot it in the future.

But then wasn't the reactions to test screenings in January very positive?

Why are people losing their **** because of one nobodies opinion? I mean, who even is this guy?

Has there been a time when test screenings haven't been positive. I think we get to see if losing Miller was a big deal or not. If the movie stays amazing then pretty much all glory be to Ryan... if not, well.

 

[Pennywise]

Plus, the film is going through reshoots right now. Probably minor, but still.

 

[def28]

Well according to some comments on other boards if these screening rumors are true then...

POTENTIAL SPOILERS

Spoiler

Those of us who expected the other X-Force/Six Pack members to be killed off in joke fodder were correct.

And sadly Nessa sounds like she doesn't get much screen time.

No according to that Manabyte, the first hour doesn't relate much to the plot. Something like that.

It takes nearly an hour before Deadpool decides he should try to protect the kid.

Anything else that can you post?

 

[ViewerAnon]

Reaction to the screening wasn't abysmal like I've seen reported online, it was just pretty meh.

 

[Adder]

Just

 

[DarthSkywalker]

If this is all true, the idea that Tim Miller wasn't responsible for the success of the first are going to be silly. Especially the idea that he didn't have to edit Reynolds.

It sounds the movie has no plot. Just a lot of messing around.

 

[def28]

Nothing really is being said about the Directing though.

If the script was never good to start with that's hugely disappointing given how well Reese, Wernick and Reynolds did on the first one. They didn't need Miller to write it as it was written prior to him being hired and almost line for line what we got.

But yeah, if all this is legit I guess we'll be able to see why Miller had his issues and it's a shame the both of them didn't work things outs.

How many great scripts make great films without the direction to go with it?

Translating a script, making it work, is very important. I have seen half baked scripts turned fantastic through direction. Watching the outtakes of the first film, I feel like it is clear how much the editing and direction were vastly important to making it work. If Miller didn't come back do to the direction and control of Reynolds, what does that say?

One thing I have seen with the trailers as this film's advertising feels far more try hard then the original film itself is.

How many bad scripts make good films? If they couldn't even get that right this movie was screwed before they started shooting. Why would Miller want to shoot a bad script with someone he's not getting along with in the first place? Miller sounds like he left because they wanted very different films, villains (Black Swan) etc.

And I agree, the advertising has not hit as well as the first. Still strong in areas but there is far less emphasis on the film itself which I have not liked. Some of these meta gags (like the toys and paintings) should have been viral marketing in addition to trailers imo. Not taking the place of them. The first trailer for the first film had some jaw dropping moments followed by the right amount of 4th wall breaking. We have not seen anything great from the film itself other then Cable blocking bullets for a few seconds and NTW looking cool.

I know people who hate Deadpool 1 so not writing this one opinion off as fact yet as the January test screenings went positive. And if this opinion counts when why shouldn't the other?

That said, Loved Deadpool 1 and Atomic Blonde but am lowering expectations here...the first film was a near perfect adaptation for Deadpool. This was gonna be hard to reproduce one way or the other.

 

[psylockolussus]

Releasing that paint gag as the teaser is a huge mistake. When I first saw it in A theater, no one really laughed.

So its a meh movie then.

 

[P Supreme]

is never a good sign when a director leaves for creative differences IMO
I wished that wasn't the case for this movie but it is I hope that the finished product delivers but man I hate this latest news

 

[Iceman]

This will be a serious shame if it doesn't turn out well. The first one was awesome and something totally different.

Sometimes when the first one is so good it's hard to keep it going.

It would be another misfire for Fox! Anyway, Reynolds writing this didn't give me more confidence as I don't think he's the go to guy when it comes to scriptwriting. While Tim Miler leaving is clearly becoming a sign why he left in the first place. It would look like he dodged a bullet here if this ends up below average.

It would be a disaster as this was the only great film of recent times from them that had a future with Logan being a final film (guess we could have got something from X-23 who was good), and DofP also not being conducive to more for half of the cast. Apocalypse was a stumble and everything else planned would be from scratch so all the hard work has to be done again with the same risk of not hitting the spot.

It can be hard to outdo or even match a great first outing, but it shouldn’t be that difficult to still make a good film.
