I'm mean if it was a white actress they probably were gonna keep her as is. :lol
 
Shut up and take my money.

Neena: Oh god, I'm becoming white! This is not real, this is not happening. I'm still black, right?

Wade: It's fine, Bad was the best Michael Jackson album ever, you're just one Neverland Ranch away now... At least you aren't blue like Warren.

Warren: Shut up. These markings are no bigger than they were before the jet crash.

Wade: So you're a blue Michael Jackson?

Neena: I think he'a a smurf.

Betsy: Before I was Japanese-American, I was actually a white Englishwoman. The accent came with the body.

Neena: You're kidding, right?

Betsy: Looooonnnnng story.

(later Domino starts getting a tattoo in the darkest pitch black ink she can find with the goal of getting it all over every inch of her body starting with one of her eyes. It gets interrupted when the Mutant Liberation front attack and Domino fights off Dragoness. We wind up with a comic-accurate Domino going forward. She keeps the afro but otherwise looks like Domino.)

Wade: Michael Jackson wasn't enough so you became a panda?

Neena: Shut up.

(Genesis is about to get his revenge on Cable)

Tyler: Now father, you will realize the truth. That Stryfe's plans cannot be stopped. That your warriors gathered from across time and space will fail as surely as the Askani did.

Nate: This isn't you Tyler. You're better than this. I raised you better than this.

Tyler: No. Stryfe allowed me to become Tolliver to distract you. I am nothing more than a diversion. On New Year's Eve 1999, Stryfe will destroy your world and he'll start by destroying your parents.

Wade: Am I seriously the only one seriously confused by your life story, Nate?

Tyler: And now, as all your allies lie at your feet, you will know that you have failed in everything you have dedicated your life towards.

Neena: Not all his allies

Tyler: What? You look like a Panda now.

Wade: Told you.

(Domino blows off Genesis' head)

Neena: You've been hit by, you've been struck by, a smooth criminal.

If they did that, I'd be just as angry. Domino is grey. It's like Beast and Nightcrawler not being blue and furry, Colossus not being silver or Venus Dee Milo not being bright red. The X-Men come in all colors. Literally.

Keep in mind that Fox had Bishop with an Afrocan accent and played by a French actor when he's supposed to be an Australian Aborigine.

Well in their defense it would be hard to find an Australian Aboriginal actor who could play the role. There's barely any here in Aus. Not saying there aren't auditions and all that but going to find an aboriginal actor isn't an easy thing. Like I said barely any here in Australia as is. All our own made movies and tv shows primarily feature white people.
 
So someone put a spin on one of the recent Spider-Man Homecoming posters.

I'm pretty sure Domino being a normal white person is one of those things fox would've done. It's not like everything in Deadpool was 100% online with comics. But who really knows what could've been.

Then get a black actor who can do an Australian accent.

I still hate Ajax's lack of a comic-accurate costume but otherwise I liked Deadpool 1. I am the biggest stickler for inaccurate things and if anyone was also in the Iron Fist forums, they should hear what I have to say about the lack of the costume.

Omar Syy was fine. You may expect an Aboriginal accent but most black fans who grew up on the show or comics and identified with Bishop don't care one bit about an Aboriginal/Australian accent.

Id prefer Bishop speak plain English with no accent.

Seriously only like 2 or 3 characters in the entire X-Men film universe use their proper accent


Basically nothing about X-Films is accurate to the comics. It's been 17 years it's not going to change.
 
I hope the marketing team are taking notes with that fan made poster. I bet the marketing campaign for this film will have it very own pre production and production cycle. The first film's marketing will be hard to top.

I thought Syy was fine and he looked cool but I feel like it's a bit of a missed opportunity not to cast an Aboriginal Australian actor, given how underrepresented they are on film both in terms of characters and actors. I simply can't believe that they couldn't find ONE actor out there who could portray Bishop. But instead, I think they cast Syy because he's an up-and-comer. That's understandable but not really necessary when you consider that a film like X-Men: DOFP already has plenty of star power and the character of Bishop really only had about 5 minutes of screentime. So casting an Aboriginal actor wouldn't have hurt the film at all.
 
Bishop wasn't really a character anyway. None of the mutants outside the main 4 or 5 were really. Just cardboard cut outs with different super powers.
 
Now see, that could work because it's technically not a Wolverine cameo. That's a stretch and I'm sure some would still try and stretch it far to say that Jackman said he'd never appear in an X-Men film again when he just said he'd never play Wolverine again, but appearing as himself is plausible.

It could actually make for some great comedy, maybe in that world the xmen films are bio pics, and deadpool has to get Jackman to pretend to be the 'real' Wolverine for some reason.
 
They took a black actress. So what else did you expect? Star Trek alien? I was skeptical from the very beginning that they would bleach her.

Yeah there's no way they'd cast someone with darker skin and then proceed to bleach it. Fox really don't need that kind of negative publicity.

I don't really care what colour Domino is, it's Deadpool's movie. Besides, he could have a lot of fun with it.

Like Bowfinger!
