Plot Spoilers....Is this all real ?

[chaseter]

Then people will ask why he didn't use that on Wolverine instead of adamantium.

 

[WeaponXProject]

They worry about stuff flying over the casual fan's heads and they are going that route............................................

Definitely.

I think Fox would stay away from something like that...the whole bullet story sounds like something they would not do.

 

[danoyse]

...is this movie actually trying to use the Wolverine / Deadpool fight as the cause of the Three Mile Island meltdown?

I know that's where this is supposed to take place - are they really going that route?

Merged this into the plot spoilers thread - it's easier to keep all these questions in one place.

I love all the speculation, but it makes it so much grander than it will end up being. In a way, all this talk feeds the film like a viral marketing campaign.

It probably is. I mean grassroots marketing/ghost marketing is huge,especially with 'buzz' movies. I know for a fact that some of the posters over at IMDB are actually new media marketers for different film studios ect

Found this too... http://www.geektyrant.com/20

Ugh. If this is all true, well... what more can I say but that it makes me want to vomit? I had a feeling this movie was going to be a disaster ever since I saw the first trailer and it seemed like Wolverine WILLINGLY volunteers to have his skeleton covered in adamantium.

In X2 I thought Stryker was lying to Logan when he told him that he'd volunteered. Guess not. What a load of crap.

 

[Hugh'sMrs]

I really do prefer Logan suffering amnesia from the procedure. It makes more sense, and in the X2 flashbacks, you hear voices say "He'll have no memory".

Plus, Stryker's whole "I can make this all go away" speech from the trailers heavily implies the procedure will make his memories go away.

I would prefer Logan to volunteer for the procedure to make his memories all go away (the pain of losing his love, Silver Fox), and starts working for Stryker after the procedure. But certain truths become apparent to Logan, pieces get put back together, and he rebels against Stryker, frees the captive mutants, etc...

What confused me about Stryker's comment 'I can make this all go away' is why would he follow that up with 'You will get your revenge' if his memory of Silver Fox's murder has been wiped.

I hope when I see the movie this will all make sense in the proper context.

And Stryker says he has a "magic bullet" to shoot Logan with. The other scientists point out that it won't kill Logan. Stryker says, "I know, but if I shoot him in the head, it'll erase his memory."

facepalm:facepalm

I have already come to the conclusion that the entire speech is fused together from a couple different scenes.

 

[sniktsnakt]

I highly doubt anyone refers to it as "magic".

I wouldn't mind Deadpool saying it, but no one else.

 

[Phatmaster2k5]

The stuff with Deadpool just sounds bizarre. Really odd.

Here was a chance to take a great character and take him mainstream, but instead we get an "uber" mutant with multiple powers and his mouth sewn shut. Huh? Honestly, what the hell were they thinking?

This has "studio execs" written all over. They realized Deadpool was incredibly popular with the fans, and thought it would be a good idea to make him the "uber bad***" with a bunch of powers. I could maybe get use to that, but then why is his mouth sewn shut? That is like having Wolverine with no claws, or Spider-Man not being able to shoot webbing.

I dare to dream of the day an X-Men movie falls into the hands of Marvel Studios.

 

[KillerBob]

Adamantium was never technically indestructible. Wasn't carbonatium...or whatever Captain America's shield was made out of actually stronger than adamantium?

True Adamantium is as close to completely indestructible as it gets. It's certainly far tougher than say Colossus' organic steel which is NEARLY indestructible.

Cap's shield is slightly more durable than adamantium, although both metals are virtually indestructible. It is a mix of vibranium and an unknown metal alloy. The attempt to recreate the unknown alloy resulted in adamantium. Cap's shield does not contain carbonadium.

Carbonadium is a form of secondary adamantium created by Russia. It is cheaper to manufacture, but unlike True Adamantium it is not indestructible. Recently they retconned Carbonadium into being highly toxic because Daniel Way doesn't understand Omega Red's powers or history.

I believe someone said that in an earlier draft the bullet Stryker uses to shoot Wolverine with is made of Carbonadium.

Carbonadium bullets wouldn't be able to pierce a skull laced with True Adamantium. Carbonadium is a poor man's adamantum and would not put a dent in Wolvy's skull. Neither would an adamantium bullet for that matter. Anti-metal (Antarctic Vibranium) bullets might do the job if a powerful enough gun is used. But try explaining that to non-comic fans.

 

[Philly Phanboy]

If the review is true, I think that the magic bullet garbage (which doesn't make much sense) and Deadpool transformation are two elements that should have been dropped or fixed before the movie even got to the filming stage.

It's not odd, it's what you are getting. It looks like (once again) X-men fans have decided to roll over and just take it.

 

[Mr Writer1981]

I've been a supporter of this movie from the start despite the negativity and criticism from certian quarters. I even came to terms with what they've done to Deadpool. But I don't like the sound of the "magic" bullet stuff. They only way a bullet could penetrate Logan's brain (once it's been covered in adamantium) is to shoot him directly through the eye socket, but I'm 100% certain nothing this gory would happen in the movie. I'm assuming the bullet would work on the basis that it destroys Logan's brain tissue (and therefore his memories) before his healing factor restores his brain. If the bullet actually gets through the adamantium i.e. if its made of some sort of adamantium piercing substance then I'll not be happy because that strikes me as decidedly silly. I would much rather have the Weapon X procedure destroys Wolverine's memory i.e. when those drills penetrate his skull. Or failing that he suffers a brain injury (even through the adamantium) during the final battle at Three Mile Island (a nuclear meltdown would probably do that do you).

 

[Mr Writer1981]

Ps. Surely they can't end the movie with Logan getting shot in the head with a magic bullet and stumbling off into the sunset with his memory "shot" to pieces (pun intended)? Especially with Stryker getting away? Isn't that a hugely depressing ending for a summer blockbuster?

I don't see that happening.

Surely from the perspective of crafting a satisfying dramatic arc, Benioff and the other myriad screenwriters could have come up with a way to lay the stage for the events of X2 (Stryker alive and Logan amnesiac) that ends on a satisfying note. It could still be tragic (Logan's memory is gone and Silverfox is dead), but it needs to satisfy.

 

[Girl_Wonder]

I'm going to go ahead and pretend I never read this and continue being excited for the movie. But,seriously, magic bullets? And the Deadpool stuff...ugh. Only because this is Fox I will not be surprised if this turns out true, but I'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt and not believe this...but seriously- magic bullets?

 

[bullets]

I've read that there was supposedly a scene in the end credits that somehow redeems the transformation . At this point one can only hope

 

[Deadcool]

I didn't wanna read that much but but I couldn't resist. Now aside from the ending and all the team members gettin picked off, and after readin other spoilers, it all goes pretty much how I expected. One thing that sucks is that Wolvie has to stop Sabertooth from killin Wade? Wade should have stopped Sabertooth from Killin Wade

 

[protocida]

This ending sounds more believable:

Spoiler

The movie ends with Wolverine going away, setting up the sequel. Then, there's a after-credits scene, set Five years later, where Logan, now amnesic, returns to Alberta, Canada, and finds the bar where he met Rogue in X-Men: The movie.

I really don't think the mouth being sewn shut is a big deal at all. In fact, it's pretty funny. It shows us that Wade was such a blabber mouth that Stryker ordered his mouth sewn shut.

Also, I highly doubt that this is the final form of him. Reynolds himself said that he doens't view this character as Deadpool, but as the thing that will become Deadpool.

I would bet money that Deadpool doesn't stay with his mouth sewn shut. He will most likely get it reopened somehow. That is, if he's not killed. But I highly doubt he's going to be killed, it would just seem stupid of Fox's part. They know the character has a potential for sequels, so why kill off a potential moneymaker?

I thought Wade was the big bad at the end and wouldn't need saving.

 

[Deaths Head II]

He means back in the beginning of the movie before Wade got experimented on.

 

[Infinity9999x]

Then people will ask why he didn't use that on Wolverine instead of adamantium.

Cost most likely. If it cost x amount of millions/billions to give him the adamantium, it would probably cost much more to put the other stuff on him. Or they might only have a limited amount (like Cap's shield.)

 

[Juggernaut33]

Sorry to say folks, but the "magic bullet" was part of the Benioff script but this review makes it sounds as dumb as hell. It's not a magic bullet, I think it's an adamantium bullet and that ending was handled quite well, really emitional, I hope they keep it that way, it really had a Old Boy finale fell to it.
