Deadpool Deadpool News and Discussion - Part 3

[def28]

The DP video game was a commercial sales failure and MOST of those DP series you listed were mid range sellers. And FYI, the DEADPOOL MAX mature readers series sold like crap.

FYI I didn't mention DEADPOOL MAX at all. I mentioned Deadpool Vol 2, Deadpol Vol 3, Yost/Kyle X-Force, Dealpool kills and Uncanny X-Force by Remender. More then enough examples for you to get the point.

Go on youtube and see how many hits all the reaction vids for the game got from youtubers like Pewdie pie. Count those up and get back to me. If you don't think that has played into how this younger gen has seen Deadpool your crazy. First month sales may have not been great but the game went to selling around 1 million (not counting digital) and was even remastered on next gen. Something that many Marvel games do not get. Stop downplaying.

Most of the "modern audience" are adults who started reading comics when they were little kids back in either the 60's,70's,80's,or 90's. These are selfish fans who selfishly expect the comics that they started reading as kids to "grow up" and "mature" along with them and to now appeal to their "adult" tastes and desires.

How can you have the audacity to generalize all those fans with comments like this. You want people to strictly make Deadpool products by your standard only and not what has been out there for years now. Why should anyone see your point when you can't see theirs and are generalizing everyone as selfish?

Duggans Run and Remender's UXF are known as two of the best Deadpool books out there. Often put next to Kellys.

Ryan Reynolds has been mentioning X-Force quite a lot. In an interview (wich I can't link, F-words!) he mentions it being a priority of his. And for all timeline and continuity freaks, in the same interview he also laughs about "Deadpool being set in another timeline due to the changes in 'Days of Future Past'," saying it was simply conceived as its new, own thing, and that Deadpool would tell 'Days of Future Past' to take its timeline and go f- itself. t:t:t:t:t:

Can you PM me the interview

Done.

I wasn't trying to change the R rating. I was only objecting to it.

So what are you going to do when this is successful.

And comic book films should not be one genre. Turning Deadpool into another generic action/adventure pg-13 fest is a disservice to the character. If anything, most of the 90's XXXTREEEME!!!!!!! characters probably deserve an R rating.

And they owe a lot to 1980's R-rated action movies. You can tell the writers and artists were fans and tried to bring that harder sensibility into comics. If you look at the early X-Force comics, for example, they pretty much look like Predator on acid - with superpowers.

Same with Deadpool. I've always thought and said that the perfect Deadpool adaptation would be something like Lethal Weapon on acid. You know, just a movie which stylistically and tonally harkens back to stuff like that, or RoboCop, Total Recall, The Last Boyscout (and the strip club shots from the trailer do remind me of it) and brings those sensibilities to the new generation - of course with Deadpool's own special quirks and uinque elements.

And from the looks of it, that's what they did. The test footage even had Michael Kamen's score from the Lethal Weapon flicks, and it seems like Junkie XL's score is a throwback to 1980s and 1990s action scores.

So much of this movie seems like a dream come true for me.

With the oversaturation of comic/superheroes movies in the market today, IT is imperative that they mix it up.

Why are CA:WS and GotG considered some of the best comic movies? Because they're more than just superhero/comic movies. GotG was a Space Opera, and CA:WS was a political thriller.

Deadpool looks to be the equivalent of movies like Ted or Kingsman. And that's a good thing, let him be their raunchy action comedy guy.

Now can we get Adam X the X-Treme for the sequel?

[Mister J]

You keep missing my point, which is that there was no need for this movie to be conceived as an R rated movie from the jump. It's easy (not to mention, less creative) to make a movie based off of just about ANY existing superhero character into a rated R movie (just look at that POWER RANGERS fan film that was made several months ago). I hear selfish narrow minded adult comic fans and filmmakers crying and begging for an R rated superhero film because they don't think that all superhero movies need to be PG-13 (which is a fair and understandable point), but you don't hear those same vocal people crying and begging for more PG rated superhero movies. These same selfish narrow minded fans and filmmakers think that any heroes that use guns or bladed weapons to kill BAD GUYS automatically should be for adults despite the fact that (a) those characters were originally created for and/or aimed at ALL AGES (which includes young kids) and (b) MOST (NOT ALL) of them first discovered those same characters when they were young kids. It's this type of crap that really pisses me off about older teen and "adult" fans (and fans turned comic book pros or filmmakers) of the Marvel and DC superheroes.

You're going to need to start singing another song at some point; one with lyrics that doesn't attempt to paint contrary opinion with 'selfish', 'narrowminded' and the like browbeating.

My God, the rating has long been set. How is this still a thing?

 

[TheFirstAvenger]

Guys I've seen the movie. In my opinion it could've been a PG-13 movie. It wouldn't have changed much of the film aside from the F-bombs.

 

[Sithborg]

You would be surprised what kind of tweaks they would have to do to the violence. There are a lot of minor tweaks in The Wolverine unrated edition.

 

[StarLord]

That's cool what they did with the second post-credit scene.

Chatting with Cinemablend, the film's co-writer Rhett Reese revealed there's going to be another little tease tagged on the end of the movie. "They held back one particular, basically a second coda. They wanted to hold it back until February 11th, until the actual official movie is in the movies — so you can tease audiences that there’s two codas and you haven’t seen one of them," he said.

 

[TheFirstAvenger]

Looks like I have to see the movie again!

I'll give you GoTG, but the idea that TWS was a political thriller is hilarious. I love that movie but sometimes a spade is just a spade.

 

[The Big G]

I hope to god its Cable time traveling to the past ala Terminator.

Just have him poof into the past. Maybe say a line and then cut to black. the audience goes wild.

 

[JtheDreamer]

It most definitely had the political thriller vibe. Look at the context of the movie for cryin' out loud.

Guys I've seen the movie. In my opinion it could've been a PG-13 movie. It wouldn't have changed much of the film aside from the F-bombs.

And the full frontal nudity, and the extreme sword violence, and the extreme gun violence, etc.

 

[TheFirstAvenger]

Guns and swords would be toned down. Wasn't much nudity in the first place. My point is that it could've worked if it needed to be PG-13.

Perhaps I should have said "inspired by political thrillers" or "Marvel's take on a political thriller" but I still stand by what i said.

Could've, but necessarily should've.

Why exactly should you do that, when guns and swords are his main traits when he's in action? And let's not forget the hilariously gory scenes whenever he loses some limbs or organs down the line.

Sometimes a PG-13 rating is simply unnecessary and you'd have to tone down so much. That's one of those cases.

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

I'm concerned about both of those things, but I also want DP to become a well known and popular character with people of all ages who have never heard of the character.

Why? The character isn't for everyone. That's part of his appeal. If you're concerned about sequels, you're getting ahead of yourself. Not every comic property has to be sequelized into oblivion.

 

[TheVileOne]

Blade X's crusade sort of reminds me of Alexei pre-Avengers now and how dogged he was about how long the movie needed to be and how only good movies of that type have to basically be three hours in length.

Credit to Blade X on how dogged he is, but he's gone off the deep end with this crusade. Just like Grace Randolph.

Even Jon Campea with Collider Movie Talk was positive there was no way this film gets an R-rating. But at least he was right that no studio is going to release dueling PG-13 and R-rated cuts of a movie like this.

This argument is over. It's time to move on.

 

[Greens]

Deadpool is going to be a very interesting experience for me.

On one hand, the vast majority of critics and other people who've seen the movie is raving about it. How it's hilarious and maybe even one of the best comic book movies ever made.

On the other, the "bad" reviews that are up seem to confirm my worst fears. The marketing campaign has been fueling my skepticism for months now and I hope I don't end up agreeing with these bad reviews.

Interview where Ryan says he would like to make X-Force a priority. Hopefully Fox will give the reigns to Ryan and Tim once the film hits to expand the corner of the X-Men verse.
