Deadpool 2 Deadpool 2 News and Discussion - Part 2

[Tacit Ronin]

Again post the picture of comics Domino next to movie Domino's pic and I doubt you can deny how drastic it is.

I was referring to his appearance, not how Barakapool was developed as a character.

No you weren't.

So why not bring back Barakapool look again instead since its all about adapting the spirit of the comics

 

[psylockolussus]

I clearly mentioned Barakapool look.

 

[psylockolussus]

Not really. It's just color flipped. It's far less dramatic than Green Goblin or Bane.

They color flipped the patch but the bone white skin wasn't. Also the patch made her look like Domino has vitiligo which isn't the case from the comics.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

This isn't the comics. They made a change.

 

[kevork89]

You know what Viola Davis or Meryl Streep could have auditioned for the role and nailed it... But would that instantly make them look the part and right for the role... No right?

They could get Domino's characteristics / "spirit" right in the film. But visually, its inaccurate which some of you are ignoring and aren't accepting. They didn't get Domino's look right. Whether they develop her well is another question. But visually, this doesn't look like Domino especially in non closeup shots and that's why there's criticism for her. And you don't adapt something from the comics and make them to look so different and not eXpect criticism. This isn't Fox's rodeo by the way in this.

LMFAO!! Yes because they were going to cast Viola Davis or Meryl Streep as Domino. Probably one of the funniest things I’ve ever read on this forum.

I was making an eXample. But of course you cannot handle a conversation from the opposite side without resorting in sarcasm in your response. Lmfao.

Iconography, lol. Ask Joe Public and they won't know who Domino is.

They will after the movie.

And what about the others who have been eXposed to Domino's appearance in the comics/cartoons/videogames? So iconography only counts in the movies then?

I guess it would be as iconic as Cloudactus.

For me Cloudactus was far less ridiculous than a giant purple robot looking dude....

Ahhh, Saturday night on the Hype.

What kind of example is that exactly? Two actresses that wouldn’t even be considered for this role. Why make an example of two actresses who wouldn’t ever be considered for the role to begin with. It’s just grasping at a non existent point you were trying to make because you don’t have much of a leg to stand on other then they should’ve made her comic accurate instead of casting a good actress.

At this point with you it’s just complain to complain pretty much about anything they do.

I'm pointing out that it isn't all about talent talent talent. You are already making presumption that those women wouldn't be cast probably because of their age which is a factor if the studio is looking for a certain look and that Domino is not an older woman in the comics. You know what your case about Zazie deserved the role regardless that she can't wear the paint isn't so different, if I argue that older actresses can play Domino as well because of "talent". Obviously, like me, you have sort of criteria who should be cast in the role and it is not just about talent.

Saturday night's alright (for bashing)

If they were casting an older actress hell yeah I would want Viola. She uplifts every movie she’s in and she’s an incredible actress. But the criteria wasn’t for older ages actresses obviously. So your example is invalid.

 

[psylockolussus]

And just like theres no criteria for actress that wouldn't look the part. Okay then. And yes my example is valid as I was pointing "talent" out as a reason for getting a role. That talent isn't everything. There's casting sheets for a reason.

I do think they have tested her with the chalk white paint but they probably realized the backlash or controversy they would have gotten.

With Copycat (Vanessa) and Teenage looking absolutely normal, this is the third character they could have put under paint and chose not to. Though unlike Vanessa/Negasonic, this one is such a missed opportunity. The chalk white skin and the black patch are part of the iconic look for the character.

You heard DP. Their team is "forward-thinking".

 

[psylockolussus]

Thus compromising Domino's signature look. She's called Domino for a reason.

I would've gone for a blue/red skinned character personally.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Yes. And Thanos isn't as purple he is in the comics. Cap's shield is gray instead of white. And Falcon doesn't talk to birds, but has a drone. They change things around all the time.

She still has the visual characteristic of Domino.

 

[psylockolussus]

Chalk white isn't the opposite of brown. Chalk white isn't even a normal skin color to begin with. You don't need a big eXplanation about her chalk white skin since she's a mutant. Again if you google Domino's picture, the movie version looks way too drastic compare to what Domino looks like in the comics/cartoons/videogames/toys.

People complain about all sort of things, doesn't mean every complain is equal to another. There are valid criticisms/opinions and there's stupid ****.

I don't think there would be any significant outrage if they applied white make up on Zazie's skin.

There would have been which wouldn't be helpful to the film though of course Fox knew this but still cast Zazie, thus robbing us out with seeing the iconic look in a live action film.

Anyway, they could have just cast her as Cecilia Reyes for that New Mutants film.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

It doesn't matter. It still satisfies the contrast of a domino. Again, they probably tried making her skin comic accurate. It probably came out all wrong. Persuading them to choose a different path.

Caliban kinda had the chalk white skin so its not eXactly a first in the series. for obvious reasons, putting a chalk white paint over Zazie would have resulted in a lot of criticism. Which they should have considered when they were doing the casting for the character. As someone who knew Domino for over a decade this is a missed opportunity. Right now Zazie just looks like Domino in name only or some alternate version, and that's not a good thing.

 

[def28]

As long as she is portrayed well I'll be happy

Honestly, the one thing I've been kind of meh about are some of the designs here. Outside of the new X gal and NTW (which is my favorite X-Men team uniform) I have not been extremely impressed like I was with the first films reveals. Maybe toning them down is the point, but I expected more after the last film and some of these look cheap even though there is a higher budget.

Hoping X-Force hooks them all up with some better suites.

Yeah talent isn’t everything that’s why we got Jessica Alba as Invisible Woman. Talent is what should be the most important. Casting an actor should be based on their talent, acting abilities, connection with other actors. Something that all reports said Zazie nailed. And also reshoots were done because her character tested positively and audiences wanted more of her. So she’s doing a bang up job so far. General audiences won’t know who Domino is from the comics. They’re going to be introduced to her now. If they nail her character then they’ve done a good job.

 

[StarLord]

And if he was, you obviously wouldn't like it? So why not bring back Barakapool look again instead since its all about adapting the spirit of the comics... never mind what the character looks like since film isn't a visual medium..

Not everything from the comic is always going to translate to screen. Liev was easily the best thing about that movie too, so it wouldn't have mattered what he was wearing.

I'm willing to take talent over being 100% accurate to the comic. That's how we ended up with all the garbage in the early 2000's with Daredevil and Fantastic Four etc.

 

[psylockolussus]

Well no one was asking for 100% accuracy in the film. Being faithful to what Domino looks like isn't 100% accuracy as its just one of the many things in the film.

Shatterstar looked terrible in my opinion from the new trailer.

 

[NotNickFury]

Was wondering when psy would get back to making his rounds on the X-boards.
