Deadpool & Wolverine Deadpool & Wolverine News and General Discussion Thread

Yeah, I don't think it's a big thing. The names must be fair use.

Copying from other thread:

“I saw D&W today with my sis and bro-in-law who both enjoyed it a lot and got a fair few references despite also missing a lot. I already thought I understood well why this film was exploding and also why it annoyed the heck out of some fans - and seeing it totally confirmed everything I thought. Also as expected, I had a total blast with it.

Looking back, my irritation with Deadpool in 2 might have been more related to that annoying kid, still only seen that film the one time while I’ve seen the first 50 or so times. I found Deadpool strangely quite fresh again and a unique vehicle to do this stuff with CBMs in general. The jokes are definitely about quantity rather than quality but enough of them land to make up for the large number that don’t. The cameos were very fun and I’m glad for many of the actors getting another chance, some nice nostalgia at the end too.

This was a great team up but it made made me realise that Deadpool himself has awesome action choreography compared to many other superheroes. I’d had enough of him after 2 but now I’m up for more after this one.

Oh and I’d seen a lot of praise for Emma Corrin here. Yes, she was an absolute delight every second she was on screen. I’ll have to check out more films that she’s in.”

Sit back, relax and enjoy the movie!

That was so SO good. Solid 8.5 or 9/10.

Of all the cameos and such the film had, the biggest shock for me was

Spoiler: Spoiler

mentioning Batman by name.

Like geez, how much did that cost in royalties?

Superman is mentioned all the way back in the Raimi Spider-man films. And more recently, Batman is mentioned in the GotG Holiday special. I think DC just exists as fiction in the various Marvel universes, and doesn't require any special licensing to name-drop.

Would mentioning Batman's name as a pop culture reference really cost anything? They didn't use the logo or talk about him being a character in the Marvel universe, they referenced him in a pop culture sort of way. I doubt WBD would sue them over something like that anyway.

It probably cost nothing.

I watch a lot of kdrama and Iron Man and Captain Marvel were mentioned.

Can only imagine how much higher it would’ve been had it been better received by the public like NWH and Deadpool and Wolverine.

Round 4 or 5. Surprised that my theater was 90% booked for the three showings in am and had to go midday while Aliens doesn't have has many showings in my theater and have not been halfway empty.

The reaction from this crowd was pretty wild. Got laughs and pops, and people clapping in the end. It was almost like opening day. Great word of mouth.

It actually looks pretty cool.

The way they made Wolverine work with different colors in his costumes, is great.

 

[DeadlyWest]

Obviously goes without saying that the film is incredible, there's nothing I can add to it

But...am I the only one whose reaction to Hugh Jackman's physique is less sexual attraction and more just genuine disgust?

The man's 55 and he's literally got protruding arteries in his arms that look like they're gonna explode. It's just not healthy

I don't think the actors or the filmmakers understand that most of us don't really care how "good" an actor or actress' body looks on screen. It has nothing to do with the movie itself beyond "Oh look, he's ripped".
Wolverine's first scene in the cage in X-Men works just as well.

Although to your particular point, it does make for a good Deadpool joke.

 

[psylockolussus]

Maybe Hugh Jackman also loves working out, idk?

 

[C. Lee]

It's nice to see Dennis Quaid in a MCU movie.

Spoiler

It's a joke.

Psylocke had her signature knives as well in the film. This is taken from the new upload from Marvel's YouTube channel.

Got a feeling there's going to be a lot of nice stuff to buy from this film by christmas with its success, there's going to be plenty of really good merch around and for the first time in a long time very tempted by the Hot Toys figures for this with both suits nailed.
