Sequels Deadpool Spin-off Confirmed

[danoyse]

I never got the love affair with Boba Fett. He looks like a badass... great. Was he a bad ass in the movies? Hell no... basically died 2 seconds into Jedi. I hope the TV shows do some justice, but with Lucas scripting, don't bank on it. At least for the first season.

It was because you got to get his action figure early.

In 1979, a year before Empire was released, if you mailed in enough Kenner logos from Star Wars action figures, they would send you an action figure of a character from 'brand new Star Wars movie!'...which was Boba Fett.

And the ads said the action figure would have a rocket-launching backpack. But after a similar Battlestar Galactica toy caused a choking hazard, the rocket-launching feature was scrapped and the rockets were molded into the backpack.

People claim they have rocket-launching Boba Fett figures, but they are lying. Only a few prototypes were ever produced, they're not finished, and they were never released.

I was 5 years old in 1979, and my mom and I did cut the logos off the action figure cards to get the Boba Fett figure. I remember getting it the mail and my mom double-checking the rockets to make sure they didn't come loose before I could play with it.

Then the movie came out and he was in the movie for about 5 minutes.

My mom still refers to Boba Fett as "George Lucas' practical joke on every mother in America."

But he was everyone's favorite action figure...because you got to get him early in the mail, and he looked really cool. 30 years later, it's still the reason why Boba Fett rocks to us old school Star Wars fans.

I thought he was pretty cool in ESB. But the expanded universe (books, comics & games) is where the Fettman is his most badass.

I wish I was alive abck then, I would've loved to get Boba in the mail. Maybe we can do something like that with Deadpool. Like you can send in 10 chimichangas for a deadpool figure. It can't be a chimichanga wrapper thoguh, cause the only thing you'll get in the mail is a death threat followed by a grenade.

[Ace of Knaves]

There is nothing there man.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

Maybe thats the joke?

 

[sabetoonth]

maybe hes crazy and THATS the joke?

 

[Ace of Knaves]

S'not a very funny joke.

 

[Michael Frost]

He meant this.

 

[SpiderByte]

Ding!

 

[WillardNation]

That wasn't funny.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

Made some Deadpool grafitti the other day (On GIMP, jsut in case you think I literally went out and tagged a wall.)

 

[Michael Frost]

Oh, don't worry.

We've seen our share of pixels back in the day. We can tell photoshoops pretty nicely.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

"Watched" Wolverine for the first time since May 2nd and now I think Weapon XI is cool in his own right, but the fact that they tried to pass that off as Deadpool is unforgivable.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

^Agreed. The scene with him teleporting from all angles on top of the tower was siiiiick.

But yea, he should of just been a character created for the film.

 

[sabetoonth]

i just realized as far as we can tell
he never uses the cirucs guys powers in the movie

 

[Ipodman]

Styker uses his powers to control Weapon XI from his computer

 

[uchiha_itachi]

What where his powers anyway? he was like psychic and electricity manipulation?

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Just electronic manipulation i think.

 

[SpiderByte]

Technically, except for one guess by Logan, it never actually specifed he reallt was Wade.

They might be able to retcon that.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

It was Wade.

And seriously... how many times have we been told Deadpools film will have literally NOTHING to do with the Wolverine film? It's gotta be in double figures.

 

[Michael Frost]

I don't get why the hell would anyone want to retcon that...

It's like saying "Oh let's use this but completly reverse more than half of the **** that was stablished!"

It's absurd. What's the point then?

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Exactly. That's why they've decided to reboot the character.

 

[Spider-Vader]

I think instead of Wade, Weapon XI should of been the electircity guy. It would of made a better twist, since he was supposedly killed. Then, after the credits they could of had Wade randomly walk onto the island & say "Ooookay, what'd I miss?"

 

[SpiderByte]

Good point.

They still could retcon it. You never know with these things. DC even retconned the entire Golden Age to another ****ing DIMENSION for a time.
