For those who don't read the comics, you don't want her power. It's horrifying. Every time something lucky happens for her, something unlucky happens for someone else. That's why so many people were dying around her during this sequence.
Pretty close to the comic power display too. She basically takes everyone’s good luck around her , leaving bad luck for everyone else. Look at all the people who died in this clip whenever she used her power 😂.
One of the things I love about Domino's powers is that it's not an instant win button, and it comes with consequences. She has no control of how her luck behaves and what it acts upon, so she still needs to take action and make use of the opportunities her luck has given to her. There's also the aspect of how her luck can't reverse anything that's been done. The crazy driving helped Deadpool get on and save her, but it also broke the brakes and forced her to drive into a building. It's such a cool take on luck as a superpower.
It takes the luck from others and gives it to her, resulting in others being injured or dylng. You can literally see it happen, each time she gets lucky in this video. It's so cool!
@@leyte68 Do you mean the birthday party in the trailer for Deadpool 3? Because I just rewatched that twice and she is not there. Or did you mean some other party?
You could argue that she was also the reason X Force all died and brutally at that. Assuming her extreme luck is based on her subconsciously absorbing the luck of those around her thus making them all have bad luck, or consciously doing it
One of the things I liked is how hyped she is with her powers. She's constantly giving little shouts of joy as luck rolls her way in the longer sequence. Little "Woo!'s" all over the place.
Which is strange because apparently she sucks the luck out from else so innocent people are dying all around her because of it. Thats not much to woo about.
That isn't really how her powers work. She is a psychic and telekenetic like Jean Grey, but does not have conscious control of her powers. Everything she does is on a subconcious level like a reaction. She alters the probablility of things happening in an area centered on her, generally a few hundred feet or yards but no hard limit is ever stated that I know of. The better she is at something the more her powers affect that activity because the probablility of her doing said activity sucessfully is already pretty high. If she got into an archery contest with a regular person she would easily win, against Hawkeye she would mostlikely loose since the gap between their two abilities is so great. Same if she got into a fight with Thanos, no alteration of probability will overcome the gap in their abilities.
@inoox besides the bad guys she killed we don't know that any of the people in the cars that crashed died. And it's not like she caused them to crash intentionally, her power aids her automatically. Also it's just a movie, get off your self-righteous soapbox.
I love this character. She absorbs luck around her, but even luck can run out. She has to be physically capable of making use of lucky events, while relying on luck as little as possible, cos she never knows how much luck she has. This makes her character not so OP and more interesting. A good writer could make an awesome movie around her.
Thanks for saying that. After reading this comment and then watching the video again, I saw what you said. When Cable jumps in the truck, first she just shoots around aimlessly. Then she looks to see what her luck did for her. Then she took advantage of the luck by shooting the container. And yes, that would make for an interesting movie.
I really want a Domino movie. Just two hours of the writers coming up with batshit new ways to depict Rube Goldberg carnage. There was an X-Files episode like that and it was one of my favorites. There's plenty of room for dramatic tension as well, since she seems to steal good luck from her surroundings. It's hard to be a wrecking ball all the damn time.
This is honestly one of the coolest anti hero ever, just imagine all the possibilities if she gets her own film, the directors will legit have an excuse to include numerous explosions, bullet ricochet scenes, electrocution from lampposts, vehicular death, etc
I’m not sure if a lucky character would work as a stand-alone franchise. Larry Niven himself said of the people who inherited the lucky Teela Brown gene: they tend to have boring stories. There’s no character development because *every* event works for their benefit.
0:45 For those who didn't get the reference, she was created by a Marvel comic artist called Rob Liefeld, who has a very.. particular art style, with stylistic choices that sometimes border on fetishizing or just plain bad. And is not only that he "can't draw feet", he straight up does triangles or cones instead of feet, or finds a way to hide them as much as posible, even if that means giving his characters extremely long legs
There's a video from the 90s of Stan Lee savagely roasting Rob Liefeld and Todd McFarlane on live television as they explain their creative process to him, and it's utterly hilarious. Well worth watching. Stan is tearing them apart and they just keep going.
What I love about Domino, is Zazie Beetz, I just thought she was stunning in this whole movie, every scene and angle totally gorgeous, and would love to see her take up Domino as a weekly TV show,
This is what I enjoyed from the clip. Pretty much all the stuff is "normal action movie stuff" but because her power is luck, they can basically crunch a whole lot of the plot armor side of action movies into the sequence and it "makes sense".
Its a very "we already know her destination because she lives, so let's see the journey of how she does it". And I gotta say its much more cinematic than Deadpool gives it credit for
that was in direct response for what Stan Lee said in an interview when asked what superpowers would he want/not want...its pretty awesome tribute to the legend.
I would honestly love a Domino solo movie. I just find her character so unique and interesting! Her power is one not usually thought of too. Just makes her all the more fascinating.
For all of you commenting: Her real power is not luck, it's Probability Manipulation She is not lucky, her superpower is not being lucky nor it is absorving luck around her. She can subliminally and psionically initiate random kinetic phenomena that affect probabilities in her favor by making improbable (but never impossible) events occur but they HAVE to be in her line of sight. This can vary frim an enemy's guns to jam or a cutting the right wire to defuse a bomb of happen to fall of a building into a huge inflatable cushion However she cannot control this power at will, it triggers whenever she herself is in a dangerous/stressful situation but she needs to be aware and being participatory. For example, if a bomb were to drop on her but she wasn't aware or did not want toreact it she'd be hit by it; but if she takes action and engages in a way to avoid being hit by the bomb then she creates an action whose chances and outcomes she can affect. She can't normally control this ability at will and it mostly happens with a trigger that is putting her in a position in which she can be harmed
This is actually a superpower they used in Flash CW too. They even explained that the way her luck works the people in the immediate vicinity also experience a stark drop in their own luck
In blood blockade battlefront there is a person called lucky abrams. He has somewhat the same power though It is not unlikely for a meteorite storm to follow him
Thanos: * snaps away 50% of life * Domino: Still here. Thanos: * Keeps snapping aggressively like he's at the club. 25% left, 12.5%, etc * Domino: Are we gonna be here all day?
@@veryanonymous3630 I think the stones will protect him because he's the wielder. I think he can also create a dampening field around Domino by using the Reality and Mind stones.
How is this not a movie yet?? Like when I watched Deadpool 2, I was constantly bombarded with fun moments and ideas and everything that the movie was that I didn't fully recognize this so amazingly portrayed character. This video perfectly highlights how awesome they did, and imo how viable and fun a fully funded film of her would turn out! Definitely a guaranteed hit!
I always imagined Domino as sort of multi-universe heroine, where she just can intuitively see all the possible outcomes and weaves between the realities to pick the one where things worked out the best and what audience sees is actualy the amalgamate of all these realities bound together by her.
It's not that she's just lucky. She reacts accordingly aswell. She sees the opportunity luck gives her, and doesn't freak out about it. The confidence that she KNOWS luck will save her ass, enables her to keep up with both the baddies and heroes.
Technically, Domino's power is _not_ Luck Manipulation but rather it is Manipulation of Probability; she is subconsciously making telekinetic "nudges" to her environment, creating chain reactions that benefit her. The chain reactions are improbably but _not_ impossible (if it's not possible, then it won't work). The problem is, her power duz not discriminate friend from foe or even bystanders, which is why anyone within range of her power is at risk of being harmed or even killed. Furthermore, Domino's power sorta... goes along with whatever she's trying to do and also guides her, which I assume is some kind of enhanced awareness of her surroundings. It's why she so confidently strides into the thick of it with seemingly reckless abandon (which it kind of is). There are downsides to Domino's power, of course. Not only can it negatively affect the people around her it can actually create unintended problems, such as how the brake line in the convoy truck was cut, initially working in Domino's favor until it became a problem as the situation went on. The only thing I can't really account for in the film was Domino correctly guessing the code to unlock the inhibitor collars (Seriously, what doped-up, brain-addled, substance-snorting toe-sucker uses a _single digit_ for a code to unlock something so important as inhibitor collars? Probably a lackwit who _can't count to 8!!!)_ The first few times I watched this movie, I was LMAO when Deadpool said "It's not very cinematic" while Domino was showing us that it absolutely is!
Always loved a luck based power. Also liked it the Necroscope book series where it also could hurt others to save that person but could also hurt them as well if it would prevent a worse outcome from happening - breaking an arm to avoid being shot in the head. Cool stuff.
Fam, *I'VE* cheated death more than once, sometimes more than once on the same day. Domino cheats death 6 times before breakfast and then finds $100 in her cereal box because of a packaging error where a Kellogs floor manager dropped their wallet into the Frosted Flakes machine 3 months previous, and QA didn't catch it because they sneezed at just the right time when that batch was being processes. *THAT'S* why Luck is a superpower.
This movie definitely made it seem like this would be the coolest mutant power to have. You really just got to get a lottery ticket and you're set for life.
Zazie beetz is the perfect domino... I really wanted her to be harley quinn in Joker think it would have been better for her to be his doctor/therapist and then eventually become Harley.
Now that I think about it, everyone on the landing team died. It's not completely un reasonable to think it was because she zapped all of their luck which enabled her to survive.
The canon can chnge and get retconed all the time. But the version i understand is that she has inxredible telekinesis but cannot control it consciously. Things just get altered subtely around her
What I love is it’s not like every shot she fires hits it’s more like things just work out in the end which is amazing for making her powerful but not too powerful
Yea like usually when a power like this is introduced than they make an excuse for how someone has somehow disabled his/her powers or stuff but in this case they made it seem that she isn't immortal and she can actually die in a way or another
Her comic book power is really more of a luck stealing power rather than infinite luck, so the more luck she needs, the more unlucky someone around her is going to have to be, so to keep avoiding death, she would need others to keep dying (hence the shit ton of death around her when she goes straight into combat.) The details in every scene, I love it.
@@ghostbravo7127 No, it's not "luck stealing". Her power is that she is a low level telekinesis who doesn't know she's a low level telekinesis. Her mind automatically tweaks things in her surroundings to give her that edge. You can always Google something if you don't know.
@@johnpatrick1647 Altering situations subconsciously in your favor seems like stealing luck to me. Lol. While they didn't explain the power right, no need to be condescending. Pretty unlucky to have your gun jam, or to be in Cable's shoes to have a clean shot, only for Wade to slide in at the last possible second to push his arm out of the way.
@@DeBolttheBear But, it really has nothing to do with luck. Domino's powers are much like Jean Grey's; they are both telekinetic, that is the control the material realm with their mind. Although, Jean is also telepathic, as well as telekinetic. The difference is that Jean knows she's doing it and Domino doesn't, so Domino attributes it to "luck". As for me being condescending or not... oh well. It takes 2 minutes to research something in order to not look a fool. If you can't take 2 minutes to make sure your post is accurate, why should I soften my response to your stupidity?
Luck has always been my favorite super power. Black Cat, Longshot, Domino, Shamrock, the list goes on. I just love the whole idea behind it. Sadly it doesn't work great in tabletop roleplaying games very well, as it goes against the nature of being a game.
In a mobile game called MCOC Longshot, Domino, and Black Cat abilities work perfectly with luck. 3 of the most powerful, defensive, and attackers characters in the game.
It’s gonna be a major bummer when Deadpool gets to come to the MCU and characters like this domino are gonna get left behind. Zazie is a kickass actress and the character was awesome in the movie, I’d love so much for her to somehow make it over with Deadpool because I really want more of her
How is she awesome? As portrayed here, she's either a complete idiot who doesn't realize everyone dying around her is a consequence of her needlessly reckless actions, or she's a psychopathic murderer. She's the personification of everyone who has ever walked into your life, fucked it up, and moved on without ever knowing you exist
she got dusted..because it doesn't kill. just erased. so she was saved by killing blows by being dusted. and because thsts also not what she wanted, things were put into motion that led to her return...so technically SHE was the reason they eventually beat Thanos
@@alexbarcovsky4319 1 in 16millioj means nothing..were talking about luck. You're looking at luck as super protection where nothing ever goes wrong. luck is luck and that's all. meaning the WORST things doesn't happen. that's it. like, working around live wires in your home. luckily you remember you didn't turn off power and you reliaze it just as you're about to touch. lucky OR you touch it, but your wife knew what you were doing and shut off power before she sat down to eat. you touch the wire, realize you forgot to turn off power, but you were shocked...luckily wife did it for you. OR you did get shocked but you BARELY touched the wired with finger tips of the same hand..better that than touching wires fully wkth both hands sending it through your heart. luck is the same in each scenario..even the one where you get shocked. it's simply lucky that you didn't actually die from either of those situations. you're saying it's like luck ONLY works where your wife turns off power. NEVER that you get hit, but just lucky enough to survive. Being snapped didn't equal death. only disappearance of thst time. sure we didn't know they'd be back. no one knew. But that's the fun of it. the reveal that domino was about to die for wharves reason Thanos put in place, but his snap actually was lucky for her to survive...and that same luck wanted her to survive and have her be back. So, the snap saves her, and the motion is put into place to bring her back. honestly not that complicated to imagine. talking about thw 1 in 16million things when we just saw a full clip of her surviving a whole sequence of stuff. craziest is a trained person who's weapon jams. a trained person would keep their weapon clean which eliminates jamming.
They really need to make a Domino movie. Just imagine the possibilities for rampant mayhem and gratuitous explosions. And her just walking along doing whatever it is she be doing.
@@pinkymonika5619 Don't all superhero movies end in the super hero winning? (Or all shows) Like most stories are: Sad/happy Childhood > Boring Teen/Adult life > Superpower realized > Does good > gets praise > Meets the wrong bad guy > Something tragic happens to his life > The Grind (Montage) > Rematch > Win/Defeat bad guy Sometimes you remove a bit here and place something else here, but that's how stories mostly goes. That's why for me a show that plays that story line very well is always great.
The idea that she absorbs luck around her kinda makes sense. It’s like someone flipping a coin and landing on heads every time, but overall other people get tails more to balance out with a larger sample size to get 50%
I absolutely love that she, herself, isn’t the one experiencing the luck. She doesn’t just walk out and suddenly everything is perfect, if she wasn’t careful she’d get hurt. But actively being aware of her surroundings, she can use her power to her advantage. I’m sure in some situations, her power is a pain in the ass.
She doesn't really need to be aware is the thing. Her power works in a way where whenever something lucky happens to her, something unlucky happens to someone else.
@@Aodhan_Raith her power isnt luck its subconscious telekinesis shes manipulating the surroundings to her advantage without being aware shes doing it its very complicated yet simplistic at the same time
@@jeremydickey3879 the word is *simple,* not that false conjunction that stupid mouth-breathing degenerates use; "simplistic." It isn't a real word or "communistic" and "socialistic" and "sodomistic" and "peopleistic" and "waterlistic" are all "real words" too.
@@HReiss0 not quite probability manipulation but similar, it's more like material manipulation within the ambient range of her impulsive tk. It's physical force with the added effect of balancing the equation of life as the cost for the power... it's the closest thing to "psychic vampire" since her environment taking drastic change will directly absorb the power of other people's life via extinguishing their life... Probability manipulation would be more along the lines of triggering quantum fluctuation that renders very minuscule variation within all things, causing the culmination of very specific~explicit results that resemble "perfect" prediction or "spidey sense" as Spiderman calls it... or just being a Jedi "using the force" of instinctive "knowing" to coordinate their actions for optimal effect.
I like to think Domino's superpower isn't "luck", she just calls it that because it's easier to explain. Domino's actual superpower is access to the Godlike power of *Quick Saves.*
I can reload a save a million times, and the gun isn't going to magically jam on the next try. It's either manipulation or the universe was set in motion so that Domino just happened to have a lucky path in life.
Yeah, in the comics she's basically a luck vampire. Every lucky event happening to her also causes an unlucky event happening to someone else (luckily: the Juggernaut doesn't see her, she can evade his attention, and subsequently the Juggernaut rips Deadpool in half). So it's like luck is a field of energy: she's harvesting it for herself, causing everyone around her to have much less luck than usual.
@@nikeneon3188 Rogue did try to take her powers by absorbing her. However, Rogue couldn't "awake" or use her powers and she couldn't understand why. If I am not wrong, Wanda said it's necessary to have a good imagination to use her powers which Rogue didn't have and that's why she couldn't use her magic. Also, If im not wrong again, she isn't expert in magic like Wanda
God, Zazie Beetz SLAYED this role. I hope we get a lot more of her in future Marvel movies. Also, if her powers are anything like in the comics, the reason the X-force all died was possibly due to her "luck". She literally siphons luck from everyone around her, unconsciously, sometimes fatally. Hilarious how they worked that in to reduce screen time (and thus budget costs) for Matt Damon and Terry Crews :P
Why does everyone keep saying this? No she doesn't syphon luck. She has a subconscious telekinetic field subtly changing things around her to help her.
@@baconoverlord7982 Well yeah, that can happen, but it's not a given or a rule or anything. Her power is nudging things subtly enough to give her a pretty much invisible advantage, but she's not stealing or syphoning anything. If you're in the middle of explosives, bullets and what not and you redirect those things, they'll probably hit someone else lol
@@mawinstallation6626 I theorize that Domino’s father is a mutant, and her mother is a sorceress. So there for do to that she is both a mutant, and magically gifted because of her mother. I also imagine that DOMINO has extra abilities, that are her mutant abilities, and she developed them because her father is a mutant.
She is by far one of the coolest x-men, I love her power and the way she was portrayed here, very very smart. What's even crazier is the end of this sequence give you a peek into how far her power actually reaches. She landed on that inflatable bear at the end, but that only happened because they just so happened to be driving that truck in the right direction (through all the buildings and everything), and arrived on that bridge at just the right time when Juggernaut got free and decided right then to punch down and destroy the truck and the bridge! Her power is nuts!!
And they missed the ball on her... The studio should have reacted quickly to how well she was received and done a 1 off for her... Could have been just like the Final Destination films... pretty low budget... just need a good script...
@@RAZR_Channel Agreed, Domino could definitely have been a movie or at least a series on Disney +, like an origin story maybe showing the events that led her to deadpool 2.
Not qutie... probability manipulation sounds like a power to choose the outcome you want (well... sounds a bit like plotarmor :D), but she dosen't know what the hell happens next, she has no control over her power, she only knows something will happen that saves her.
They should've called her to beat Thanos, imagine when he's about to snap his fingers and suddenly he has a cramp and can't move his fingers or faints 🤣
@@thephoenix4093 I mean plot armor generally refers to a person who will survive/succeed even against impossible scenarios simply because the plot demands this character succeed/survive but there is little to no logical basis for their survival. Her power will let you handle a get out of jail free card whatever the scenario is because there will always be outside forces you can involve on her side. Thus she has plot armor in the sense that her survival is basically guaranteed unless you specifically stated ahead of time that her power and skills are both useless by event design.
I've only fallen asleep in a movie twice and it was on the same film… Independence Day 2… Holy DogShit Batman… that movie fucking sucked… The 1st time I fell asleep I was like oh damn what did I miss… Went back the next day… Fell asleep a 2nd time I was like… whatever.

@@VulpinetideCuteTimes0w0 we get it, every damn video has a CGI perfectionist nerd bitching about it. Do you guys need that much validation to constantly point it out like you discovered the next scientific breakthrough?
I can't help feeling that her power is like an immediate precognition, like she subconsciously knows what's going to happen with every little decision she makes
Based on the comics, she has no idea what will happen. She absorbs luck from people around her. So anytime something good happens to her, something bad happens to another.
@@dilnaylomogorhaiyee1450 She's way better than "Valkyrie." At least this gal can act and doesn't put on a horrendous accent. I would watch Ragnarok several times over if it weren't for her.

I hope we see more of Domino in the future. Such a bad ass live action translation from a hero with a super odd “power”. She needs way more screen time for sure.
You should watch Bullet Train. Spoilers ahead, but not very explicit ones, still a little heads up. It's not a movie about Domino (although Zazie does appear as another character), but it's made by the guys behind Deadpool and there are two characters revolving around luck and misfortune respectively.
@@d4rksonic474 I feel they played that trope pretty well. Bullet Train was one of the movies I’ve ever seen, but the things they did right were most of the characters.
Just to clarify her power from what I can remember: Her power is latent telekinesis. So she's not actually aware she's using her power at any given point, it just sort of goes off like a survival mechanism. For example, when she tells 'Lady Luck' to take he wheel, it's actually her unconcious ability to control things with her mind that's doing it. (This may be completely wrong, I just remember it being explained that way).
She's technically the strongest in their universe,if someone were to destroy their universe,it will fail just because she's there,unless her power(luck) runs out if that's a thing
In the comics her power manifests as subliminal telekinesis. "Lady Luck," as she calls it can do things like move a car's steering wheel, move a marble in a casino, and move shrapnel from a grenade. So she could survive/do anything that requires a small amount of telekinesis. She doesn't have Black Phoenix level telekinesis or even Professor X level. She's also not even aware she's doing this. It just happens around her so she thinks it's just luck. Honestly, in a power scale level she's likely not even as strong as a low/mid level telekinetic because she can't/doesn't directly control her power.
@@Alex-ye9pg I thought her powers were about inducing probability changes around localized reality. Like she can Just decide how well an outcome goes for her if she focuses. Which I take to almost be more sub temporal or reality shifting. Either way though the probability can only be shifted so much if she’s got a hundred percent chance of getting beaten after all.
@@GreaterGrievobeast55 "Domino is a mutant with the ability to subconsciously and psionically initiate random telekinetic acts that affect probability in her favor by making improbable (but not impossible) things occur within her line of sight, thus causing her to have "good luck" and her opponents to have "bad luck". This "probability field" phenomenon can be anything from an enemy's equipment failure to hitting just the right switch with a stray shot to shut down an overloading nuclear reactor. The full extent of her powers is still unknown"
@@reinshin7298 potentially I’m not sure, it does say her powers can’t make the impossible happen, so if his helmet is impervious to it, then it won’t happen. Maybe (in deadpool 2 at least) she knew that even her luck would run out when facing juggernaut hence why she takes one look as says “nope” 😂
She needs her own spinoff show. This is a very unique character with probably one of the best super powers. Instead of making male super heroes female, expand on the existing badass characters there already is...
Sure, if they cast someone that cares about their appearance... maybe takes a bath once in awhile, learns to care for their hair and shave their underarms, etc.
“I mean LUCK!? What coked-out, glass pipe sucker came up with that little chestnut? Probably a guy who CAN’T DRAW FEET!” That would be Rob Liefeld; the writer/penciler of The New Mutants #98 where Deadpool and Domino both made their debut (Yes, I know. Technically it wasn’t actually Domino but Copycat impersonating her).
I love domino. Luck is such an interesting version of a deusexmachina handwavy super power. Kindof a perfect addition to accent the fourthwall breaking of the movie
Doesn't work that way. Her powers, at least as of the comics, are actually a form of self-guided telekinesis and as such have a range limit. Can't remember what it is, but her powers don't effect things happening on the other side of town, or another state. And live broadcasts don't matter either; it has to be something happening in her immediate vicinity. It's been explained like this; if you try to shoot her up close the gun will jam, or maybe you'll miss. If you grab a sniper rifle and get out of her range the shot will fire perfectly, and on the right trajectory, but something (or someone) nearby will "randomly" happen into the way.
When luck is as concentrated as it is in Domino, then it actually can be a superpower. That's why I love the concept. While characters can be lucky even charmed, Domino gets pure essence. I'd like to see a backstory on her and how she is so lucky, like she's the daughter of the luck god or something.
She's not. Her power is siphoning luck from others, which is why everyone around her is dying for the most part while she's trying to get into the convoy.
How is she so lucky? By stealing other people's luck. Death follows her everywhere she goes, each time she gets lucky and avoids death someone else near her dies.
@@RingwelskiJacek she doesn't take luck from people ,read a comic ,the character that does what you described is another marvel character known as black cat, domino manipulate probability
This clip is Heavily edited. I think I pulled 14 minutes down to the 3 you see here because I wanted to focus just on Domino. That made the action more condensed. There is a lot of side talk in the original sequence.
Personally I understand people being upset about how they made Domino in this and not staying more faithful, but personally I liked Domino solely for the comedic plot convenience her luck provides.
It is a bit of a contrast to the black ops femme fatale, competant, cool calm and collected persona of her comic character. This feels a bit more.. slapdash and punk, and i like the vibe, it just isnt really domino to me, its like falcon taking over as Captain America. But without steve rogers being shown first, it's still good but lacking in context. Also since falcon was at least a comic thing this is kind of just a blatant step outside source material, for no real reason, other than perhaps they felt the cinematic multiverse had enough femme fatales.
@@Desdemona-XI Which - to be fair - there _is_ a few too many femme fatales in the MCU. I'm all for changing some characters to better fit the universe, as long as they're still recognizable _as_ that character. As an aside, they also likely ran into an unfortunate issue that crops up whenever anything like the MCU goes mainstream: how do you let your audience (who often have never seen anything from the source material) care about a character who acts, and functions, just like another character when you only have a limited screen time to work with? The short answer is that you don't. So they have to come up with ways to adapt certain characters for new-comers, even if it means they aren't exactly as their comic incarnation (or in some cases nothing like their comic incarnation at all)
@@Bubbly_Dragonexactly, i like this movie character because she feels different to the stereotypical badass calm-collected femme fatale who’s perfect in every way. Its become a bit of a joke in the MCU by now, everyone’s a Black Widow and its boring. Domino is still a badass but she’s also just going with the flow, which works with her powers of luck she never knows how exactly it will turn out, and she’s funnier. Sure she’s not like the comics but jesus how many femme fatale emotionless archetypes do we need
directors: lets take a pale white character with sleek black hair and a birthmark around her eye, make her brown, turn her birthmark into vitiligo (I fucking love vitiligo!) and make sure people see that she doesnt shave her underarms. execs: Perfect!
Problem is -- the reason they call her domino (which is an ironic metaphore for black and white, yin and yang, balance - etc.) ... is that she is stealing the luck from everyone around her. Good things happen for her and her objectives BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE'S LUCK GETS @#$%'d. Hense? X-force all dying.
In the comics, if I'm not wrong, it's her telekinesis, it's like automatic telekinesis and it works without her even knowing it is telekinesis, she just thinks she's lucky.
@@koonehkun6404 Yes, but that telekinesis literally bends reality into her favor, it's not her consciously moving things here and there, it's her subconsciously thinking 'let me win, goddess of luck' and then she does. Her fighting prowess is literally her randomly moving and turning out to be very effective fighting moves.
I haven’t read any of the comics but I still got the idea that her luck seems to be based on sucking the luck from others. When she throws off her parachute that person in the car immediately hits it and crashes causing another person to blow up at that gas station. Pretty brutal. I think the movies showed that very well!
Honestly, everytime something lucky happened to her, you see the camera cut to other people getting the unlucky consequences of the situation. It's pretty jarring.
I think the best part about Domino is that she not super overpowerred. Yes this entire clip says otherwise lol, but take in if brought in close combat like with Cable, she almost gets her ass beat. If there was potentially some distance from her and Cable and things in their environment to manipulate, she can get "lucky" and find ways to beat Cable. Only reason she survived was cuz Deadpool came in (which I guess is also luck idk man) but my point being if you put her in close combat and are really good at it, you COULD beat her
Basically a more balanced version of Longshot, who also has the super luck power but without the "absorbs it from others around them thus making them unlucky" part
