The Screenshots Thread

[sniktsnakt]

I'm not sure why everyone's saying that's supposed to be Deadpool. Clarify?

-TNC

First, it came out of imdb as a rumor (and, supposedly, a really lame joke that got a lot of laughter).

Second, we got the first trailer, with some guy with blades coming out of his arms, and the rumors began to spread. The Deadpool thread exploded with fury at the thought of Barakapool.

But it was only the beginning.

The jokes were weaker, now, but the fans were still trying to be optimistic. So maybe the blades in his arms were right. At least, they thought, he doesn't have laser eyes.

They didn't know how wrong they were <enter dramatic music here>

A couple weeks ago on the toys thread some pictures were posted that showed the train crash to be more than just rumor. There it was, clearly written in bold type: DEADPOOL. Inside the package was the deformed, marked-up, bladed, and laser-eyed freak you may see in the trailer before you. To shatter the united cries of, "TYPO!" or "FAKE!" was the back of the toy's box, where it stated clearly that Wade Wilson was taken by Stryker to "do his every will" as the ultimate mutant weapon--weapon XI.

There is little use trying to deny it (though many have and still do try). That . . . Thing in the trailer is Weapon XI, and it is also what was once Wade Wilson, and what should have been Deadpool.

Many fans have therefore have fallen into shock, denial, rage, and gnashing of teeth. Others just stare off in the distance, eyes blank at the thought of what could have been.

Okay, I'm getting carried away (it's after 2 am over here, and I need to go to bed).

The point is . . . :

God. It's amazing how much they ****ed up Deadpool. I would've been happy with just that kevlar vest he's wearing. But no, of course not. FOX thinks everything is broken and must be fixed, or they decide to put a "new twist" on it. I hate FOX so much. I mean, look at Snake Eyes in G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. He's SS from the comic INCARNATE. Their is simply no reason why they couldn't have made a decent red and black ninja like outfit. No reason at all.

a more legitimate story of Deadpool for you?

The "jokes" spawned from IMDB and were actually rumors about blades out of his arms, a stitched mouth and lazer eyes.

What we've pieced together so far is that Wade Wilson is a Deadpool is an amalgam of super powers that stryker got from other mutants he captured. Wade Wilson (who is Ryan Reynolds) already has teleoporting because he uses a little device on his belt.

However at the end of the movie, because Deadpool was brought out of the bonding process too quickly with his new powers, they fail him, he becomes horribly scarred and goes insane (basically transforms into normal Deadpool)

How is your recap "more legitimate" than the one at the top of the page? More succinct, definitely. More coherant and understandable? Very likely. But more "legitimate"?

Did you mean "legible"? That might make more sense, I guess . . . .

I'm bumping this because it has so many screen caps that have been lost on other threads due to the purge. Folks might want to look back at these.

And just a friendly reminder that screencaps from the leaked copy of the film are not permitted.

But those are from the QT Trailer.

It was just a general reminder for anyone on the thread. If we'd seen anything from the leak it would be gone now (and so would the person who posted it).

I personally don't think thats deadpool only the movie itself can prove me wrong.
