So you want people to give them credit for things they get right (even after not wanting to do them) but not trash them on numerous things they did wrong?
Quote doesn't imply much.
Just saw it. That's the other thing. Apocalypse Stryker uses a way to restrict powers (electromagnetic fields) without applying all those individual restraints outside of Wolvie in a metal coffin.
I genuinely thought this was the first. So, pretty glad there's precedence.
Not one to cry over it. Just means Banshee would be best suited for the opposition. Being declared dead on a piece of paper, doesn't mean he isn't hold up somewhere. If he actually IS dead, I'm sure there are mutants and storylines that can revive him Or Banshee Jr.
The 20th Century Fox that produced X-Men Origins: Wolverine is not the same 20th Century Fox that produced Deadpool.
Since then the micro-managing Tom Rothman (who has a very singular and faulty vision of how a commercial movie should be and be made) has left the studio, and with him several other execs. And you can see a boost in quality not only regarding their comic book adaptations, but also their overall output.
In addition to that, even under the new regime the studio needed some convincing to make Deadpool. And you gotta consider that R-rated comic book adaptations rarely had any success, so considering statistics it WAS a risky project.
But you know what? They ended making the movie, and supported it 100%. Sure, they asked for a slight budget cut (which led to the creation of one of the movie's funniest running gag), but they DID allow Tim Miller, Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick to make the movie they wanted to. They allowed them to make a hard-boiled, raunchy, R-rated, mid-budget R-rated action-comedy based on a Marvel comic book, in an age in which studios push for mostly formulaic, safe, homogenized movies ("The Avengers made a billion dollars? Let's just make movies like The Avengers!"). They could've asked for a more generic take on the character, which would've shared more similarities with other successful and popular comic book adaptations. They could've pushed for a safer movie, but they didn't. And man, if they didn't support the movie 100% before its release. They could've just burnt it off, like many other studios do with movies at that price tag these days. They didn't, they promoted it just as strongly as they do with their tentpoles.
As with every other studio, some projects just end up being difficult and not working (I'm talking about the Fantastic Four reboot), and there are multiple reasons for that.
Sure, it's annoying as a fan when a movie doesn't work. If it were for me, every comic book adaptation should be just spectacular. But guess what? They aren't. Not at 20th Century Fox, not at Marvel Studios, not at Warner Bros., not at any studio.
So could we PLEASE start using another tape, 'cause after all these years it would be nice if people actually would inform themselves about the movie-making business and studios behind these movies, instead of making dated statements, which connect their personal dissatisfaction with some elements of these movies to the days Tom Rothman and his team made X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
So this movie won't perfectly connect with the other fifty X-Men movies? Which means the evil organization bankrolled by Rupert Murdoch is again working on destroying all of our beloved stories?
They've once again taken a bold step to support James Mangold and Hugh Jackman's vision of an Unforgiven-like final tale for the character of Wolverine, instead of playing it safe and making 'just another superhero movie'? Wonderful! In this day and age we should celebrate a major studio which makes bold and decision and support filmmakers who want to try and make something unique and fresh? And so what if it doesn't exactly line up on that chart you create on your Microsoft Office files once you get back home? In those two hours you sit in theaters you have the chance to witness something which has a somewhat different taste and look, something which could possibly surprise you the way Deadpool did, and the way most movies which had a true impact did.
Thank God for variety. Thank God for movies which focus more on the individual story they're telling, instead of feeling like yet another episode in an infinite series.
If you don't like this approach, and if inter-connectivity matters so much to you, just watch the Marvel Studios movies, which seem to be doing just fine in that regard.
P.S.: Tim Miller left Deadpool 2 because of creative differences with Ryan Reynolds, and seems to be perfectly happy collaborating with 20th Century Fox, considering that one of his next projects is set up there, and was the first thing he started working on once he left the sequel. (Smart) information first, discussion second. This way we could turn fanboy-moaning into an actual discussion about movies and filmmaking.
fox isn't a charity.
t:t: and with deadpool the r rated violence.
