Also, when I first saw Vanessa with her short hair, I immediately thought about Domino rather than Copycat. She also fit's Domino's persona better, I think, since Domino's niche in regards to Deadpool is the sexy fun girlfriend, while Copycat is the sexy tragic femme fatale.

Personally, Deadpool 2 should go off the really REALLY deep end, and involve his other, other... other? girlfriend, Death herself

...Man, that movie could go... places, and probably few of them pretty

They cant. the Death subplot is very reliant on Loki and Thanos, two characters that they cannot use.

I saw it last night and I really really liked it. I have one minor complaint with it though.

He was wearing a Bea Arthur shirt in the beginning of the movie lol.

It really needs more than a shirt. The whole joke behind it is how attractive he finds her.

I watched it at the Alamo Drafthouse. They had a whole segment on Bea Arthur prior to the movie.

Being in Deadpool costume, I started telling other viewers how hot she was, and that she was my girlfriend.

The Alamo Drafthouse in KC?

Yonkers NY. Just outside NYC.

Watched Deadpool today. Fantastic movie. Had me laughing from start to finish. As others have said, the Colossus fight on the highway is brilliant. That and the smack talk between Deadpool and Ajax.

So how did deadpool actually manage to have a Helicarrier in the movie? Thought SHIELD stuff was off limits to Fox

Fox and Disney *are* trying to play nice ya know.

Disney/Marvel owns the rights to the Helicarrier, but they don't own the rights to generic flying aircraft carriers.

If I remember the interviews right, the initial storyboards included the Helicarrier, and then they started working on changing it enough so that it looks like an aircraft carrier that may be able to fly and that people would recognize, but different enough so that it isn't THE Helicarrier.

Similar to how Disney/Marvel have mutants, but they are not calling them that.

Yea, figured it was a wink wink nudge nudge kinda thing.

Not that I'm complaining

I'm just glad they had Colossus, he was my favorite Xman growing up. No "Bozhe moi!" unless i missed it

I saw it yesterday. GLORIOUS.

Saw the movie this afternoon. AWESOME!!!

Absolutely amazing. Me and my friend typically make snarky comments on dumb parts throughout movies we watch, especially superhero ones but Deadpool was so on point and self-aware we had nothing to say but laugh and gawk at scenes throughout the movie. All around amazing, definitely sets a new bar for the "super-hero" genre, if only because its so refreshing from how forthright it is about itself and how true it is to the Deadpool character.

Saw it for the second time this weekend, this time with the wife. I still love it and she about died laughing at multiple parts and she isn't really into comics and knows almost nothing about the character so that says a lot that the translation of the character came thru so well.

One interesting comment from someone at work today who went into the film, fully expecting to hate it and came out "vaguely amused" was, from talking to him...

He didn't realise that Deadpool was supposed to be 'insane'.

He felt that actually didn't come across in the film at all (though he apparently missed the part when Colossus commented on it.)

Instead he thought DP was just talking to the camera because that was the premise of the film.

He also thought that Colossus was literally some of the worst CGI he's ever seen in a cinema film, with the worst comical Russian accent he's ever heard. - He then went on to say that the original X-Men movies version of him was much better.


I'm kinda not really commenting on those statements but more just to show that the film apparently wasn't universally loved.

His comment on the russian accent is just, beautiful. Would you consider this co-worker to be woefully oblivious to most things?

Russian? I thought he was Australian...

OH!

I think this coworker is an idiot. All in agreement? Seriously, if you dislike this movie, you have no taste.

Daughter and I have been waiting three months to see it - a true father/daughter thing. Took her to Moviehouse Grill to watch it

Probably one of the most enjoyable comeedies I have seen in years.

Movie was awesome, but the mother and father of the 6-year old girl a couple rows over was a great example of crappy parenting.

Finally saw it. Think it would have been better if his voices were in it as well, but at least colossus referred to him as multiple people to try to imply it. But then they have to balance his insanity otherwise the movie could go too far and become too goofy somehow.

Fraz! Was starting to wonder if we needed to send out a search party to find out if you were Ok! Hadn't seen you post in a while.

I think that was put across with tonal changes. No way that could have been realised in a literal way without being completely confusing.
As much as they emphasized the 'not a normal superhero' stuff he was still a pretty straightforward good guy.
It's not as though we don't expect action heroes to leave a substantial pile of corpses behind them in movies.

Yeah I don't get why anyone would take their young child to see an R-rated film (or in the UK's case, 15 rated which is hilarious)

Was banhammered and decided to take a break. Have faith, my collection of voodoo dolls continues to expand. Plus I won the auction to ride on a Sherman tank!

Narration, like how he would at times argue with the yellow boxes.

He also did not make anywhere near an acceptable amount of pancakes.

That seems to be the case with the Avengers, but I'm sure they used the term mutant at least once in Deadpool.

That's because Deadpool is made by Fox, who owns the rights to the X-Men, so they don't have to dance around the whole Mutant thing. As evidenced by having the actual X-Men in the movie, as much as they were able to budget at least
