I won't be seeing it in theaters but best believe I'm buying that 4k the moment pre orders go up. This is it for marvel. Their last hoorah and even though it's disney and they're trash, these 2 characters together are too good to pass up. This is my Endgame
Sorry but Jar Jar Binks deserves to b in Star Wars far more then the characters in the sequel trilogy, n the Solo movie as well as the shows Book Of Boba Fett, Obi Wan Kenobi, Andor, Ahsoka, n The Acolyte
This movie gave me some goodbye funeral vibes for it reminds at the Fox Aera of Superheromovies since Blade, the golden Age of the MCU while adressing that the multiverse is shit.
This is it boys. The last good marvel movie. 🍾 After this, there is nought but a vast desert of nothing. Enjoy it. After this there will be nothing left.
I see what is coming and I decline to fund hate against people like me. They hate straights at Disney. They hate men. God do they hate whites. I used to be a huge Disney fan. As long as Iger and KK rule, no.
I’ll go see it to support Reynolds and to let this movie light up like a flare in the dark. And, I know what’s going to follow from Marvel will bomb. Yup. Let the contrast stand out. Marvel won’t change but I’ll help keep piling up the evidence for when a rescue comes for Marvel.
If this movie, it will do two seemingly-contradictory things: 1. It will show that red pills pay bills and that people will watch movies meant for normal people, that is, not movies made for the woke crowd. 2. It will subsidize woke movies by covering for some of their losses and give Disney the cash to keep making woke box office bombs for at least a bit longer. For the first point to work, Disney will need to draw the correct lesson from this movie's (probable) success. White men aren't stale; just look at Oppenheimer, Mario, Avatar 2, Top Gun: Maverick, or Spider-Man: No Way Home.
I think Hollywood has had it in for Republicans and conservatives since the McCarthy hearings against them as he tried to expose communists. Throw in the Hayes Code, and their testifying before Congress to end the family hour on television, and it's just been passed down in the system to oppose McCarthy's party even if they don't share McCarthy's extremism, with only a few going against the Hollywood system.
Two of the three good post-Endgame MCU movies aren't really MCU at all. Spider-Man is a Sony movie which just happens to be IN the MCU, and Deadpool 3 was a pre-MCU movie in the older X-Men continuity bought up by Disney and inserted into the MCU. Only GoTG 3 was truly an MCU movie, and the only reason it was good was that its script was written before wokeness took over.
Glad to know it’s a good movie. I won’t be seeing it in theaters though since I don’t want to give them my money. They won’t learn anything, they’ll probably take the wrong lessons from this, if it does well anyway.
Nope. The only super hero movies I'll see: Batman, Spiderman, Ironman. I'm pretty selective about those too. Perhaps a superman movie. No superhero teem/war movies. (Of course my favorite superhero movies are Kick Ass and Mystery Men. ;^)
I have a meta question that you didn’t address: How much of the R rating was due to gore and violence, and how much was due to nudity and sexual themes?
Okay Andre, you've convinced me to "vote with my dollar". They keep calling us a "Vocal Minority". The Phandom Menace needs to show up for this. Yeah, youre giving them your money, but you're also showing Ryan Reynolds, and the crew, that the uphill battle to make this film series was worth it. How much shit has Ryan Waded through, even for the first film, to be made? We need to support our homies! He might not be a person friend of ours, by Ryan Reynolds is a friend to the fans!!!!!
Definitely avoiding the SKELETON CREW FOR FEAR OF SPACE HERPIES and SPACE STD'S! SO FUCK DISNEY STAR WARS! I'M OFFICIALLY DONE WITH THAT HAS ANYTHING RELATED OR DIRECT CONNECTION TO DISNEY STAR WARS ESPECIALLY THE ACOSHYTE!!! GOD THAT WAS FUCKING HORRIBLE AND COMPLETELY DISRESPECTFUL TO THE LEGENDS THAT JEDI ARE BACK IN THE GEORGE LUCAS ERA! FUCK LESBIAN LESLEY "MUDHORN THICK NECK" HEADLAND FOR SHE IS FUCKED UP WITH WITH SOME SERIOUS DADDY ANGER ISSUES!!! HOPE TO SEE HER AT A DOLLAR GENERAL ONE DAY! BUT FUCK HER AND HER WIFE AND K.K. AND BOOBY BOBBY IGER'S A WALKING ELEPHANT OF A SNAFU CLUSTER FUCK!
Saw it and in my opinion is it's okay, but it has it's moments; but in order to understand the plot, people would have to go through the DISNEY PLUS BULLSHITERY subscription just to understand and it was a fun ride like a roller coaster but it's a 6-7 again in my humble opinion so not too many will get it or the understanding behind the the main protagonist so... I don't believe that this can save DISNEY, this is just the peak bump up on the stock exchange ticker tape read out! So this was a fun ride but, it had a lot of great introducing some different takes on the main characters! But this is not the holy grail DISNEY saviour like Wade Wilson keeps saying in the movie! But that introduction to the grave was very..., ...., ...., ..., necrophiliac necromancer and was interesting to say the least. At least when this finally makes it to a physical copy then the Deadpool trilogy will be set; until D.E.I. GETS INVOLVED AND FUCKS EVERYTHING UP ONCE AGAIN!!!! But I digress..., so ugh, it was a fun ride but I don't think even the holiest of holies can save DISNEY from it's own BULLSHITERY down fall!
This was actually really fun. I agree that the plot is a bit of a thin vehicle for the fun and games. The plot isn't very sophisticated, nor is it trying to be, but it's held together very well with a surprising bit of heart (much like the previous Deadpool movies) and clearly defined and endearing motivations for the main duo that do a good job of driving the story forward. Unlike in Dr. Strange 2, the cameos here aren't actually throwaways. They actually serve a narrative, thematic, and metatextual purpose, and they even have their own little character arc. If anyone is of the mind to incentivize more good behavior from the Mouse, I'd say this is well worth seeing if you want a good dose of simple, badass fun, especially if you enjoyed the previous Deadpool movies. Considering this script was even accepted, you can definitely tell that this could be their own little way of acknowledging that they've been off their game these past few years. If they do continue pivot in a positive direction, I don't foresee it fully taking hold for a little bit since change takes time, but this does give me a grain of hope that Marvel as a whole could actually be good again.
I saw the movie yesterday, it's a Frankenstein of a movie, it's like a Deadpool movie grafted onto a episode of Loki with Mad Max. The opening is a hoot, but for the rest it stops and starts. The whole TVA is a hard slog and the TVA boss was just a dick. Lucky the Cass Nova lass saved the movie from the villain side. I think it should of been a bit smoother watch. I would give it a 6.5/10 . The whole TVA thing spoilt the movie. But the scenes with Deadpool and Wolverine were fantastic.
Its a good movie. but it's not the Marvel Savior movie. More like a fox salute/send-off movie. Marvel will claim it as a success they will say it will financially right the ship. However it doesn't This movie has virtually zero impact on the main marvel storyline.
Haven't seen it yet but intend to as truth is this is the last Fox Marvel film - Disney may be releasing it but these characters and franchises were not Disney's so all those execs can say whatever rhey want, they have nothing to do with why people are seeing it. Having said that, the Disney Marvel films hold 0 interest for me so unless there are some massive changes at Disney, I won't be supporting their versions of X-men or Deadpool(even if Renolds continues) in the future.
I've seen Loki season 2 and know that the TVA no longer has a reason to exist, since Loki is maintaining the timelines himself. But like any ultra authoritarian organization, they eventually exist only to keep themselves in power.
If you wan to know here you're going turn around and see where you came from. Most people don't change, most people are incapable of retrospection and true change. Bob Iger Is human last time I checked and his history as a manager is all you need to predict Disney's future.
I get feeling like you don't want to give a penny to Disney anymore (I feel the same), but supporting good movies is JUST AS IMPORTANT as boycotting the bad ones. If you don't support a good/non-woke movie, then they have NO INCENTIVE to change course, which justifies their decisions to the shareholders. Also, OTHER studios and producers of entertainment are watching. If the good ones fail also, then no reason to change what they're doing. This goes beyond just Disney.
Lesbian Wars could be good if properly executed I think anyways but as it's own thing / not sure why they feel the need to take away Star Wars from its natural constituency of King Arthur-esque fantasy Joeseph Campbell people.
