Yea it is pretty crappy. But Reynolds himself has said he isn't Deadpool yet. This...barakapool is just the in between stage of Wade Wilson and Deadpool. I hope Reynolds gets his wishes and is able to portray the proper Deadpool in his own movie very soon.
Oh, and welcome to the hype.
Maybe.
But Hannibal King isn't Deadpool. Hannibal King wasn't lined up for half a decade to have his own film. And pretty much everyone in the know has said a Deadpool film is guaranteed as long as Wolverine doesn't completely bomb.
I do think it's still wistful thinking, and no guarantee for a spinoff. They were talking about a Silver Surfer movie after FF2 as well, but nothing came out of it. It's likely that the only big-screen rendition of Deadpool is the Barakapool we got in Wolverine, and imo that just sucks.
What talk about the Surfer? That was all fan talk wasn't it? The Surfer wasn't mentioned in solo films before he was in FF 2 was he?
The fact is a Deadpool movie has been doing the rounds in hollywood since before Blade Trinity. And if they do make a Deadpool film, it won't be Weapon XI, it will be Deadpool. The end of the film puts paid to that. Weapon XI is dead, Deadpool hasn't even been born yet.
Deadpool is now a certified A-Lister in the M.U. The guy is now getting 2 ongoing series, he is involved in multiple cross-overs. It makes financial sense to make a film with him featuring a star like Ryan Reynolds.
And if it's wishful thinking by me, it's wishful thinking by a lot of people who work in Hollywood as well.
I distinctly remember people from Fox wanting a Surfer film. I could be crazy, but I'm fairly sure it wasn't just fan talk. And Silver Surfer was doing rounds in Hollywood for years as well before he finally showed up in the Fantastic Four. I read a magazine article from back when all we had were the X-Men and Spider-Man films (forgot the year) that the rights were circling around along with several other comic properties. Somehow he ended up in Fantastic Four 2 instead of his own film. It actually brilliantly parallels Deadpool. He was supposed to have a solo film and now they're sticking him in a franchise he's closely associated with instead. And possibly in hopes of a spin off.
I'm not saying that Deadpool will experience the same fate, but I'm not believing ANY of the rumors until I hear it gets officially announced.
Exactly. If Fox makes a Deadpool movie it wont be on the barakapool interpretation. That can NOT carry a film. How obvious is that.
right now ANYTHING we get from a Spin off Deadpool movie will be 10 times better then your "barakapool" stuff, even if its not as close to the comic. They would at least make it as accurate as the wolverine character has been to his comic, because he can become just as popular...
But as of right now, i can REALIZE this, and be OKAY with whats done i wolverine because its an interpretation of his origin. It pisses me off, alot does, especially no added in scenes.. but life goes on... more movies get made
Besides, I have great hesitation regarding Fox's ability to make a good spinoff movie, since the last time they did it (Elektra), it bombed, and Fox can't even make a good non-spinoff movie since they made X2 when Singer was still part of the franchise. Just about everything else came after X2 (Fantastic Four, X-Men 3, FF2) have been disappointments.
And I don't think it will just be a generic mercenary film with Reynolds cracking wise. The main appeal, the main draw of a Deadpool film would be to make it fresh and interesting. Make it a action packed satire of the comic book movie industry, that is how you fill seats.
Wilson's cause of death is irrelevant. My points are valid irrespective of whether he crawls out at the end of the credits or if he gets a Venom-style toasting.
The Holywood financial landscape will not justify a Deadpool flick.
You are only prolonging your agony. Hope is your enemy right now.
