I hate you for this.

Look, Gambit has always made me want to dig my eyes out with a spoon (I actually live in Louisiana, and that fictional fucker pisses me off to no end), but I've always had a soft spot for Deadpool. And I've always luuuuuuuuurved Ryan Reynolds. And now I have to kind of hate BOTH of them.

I hate you for this.

Uh, is that Liev Schreiber up there? It is? Oh, yes please.

Wolverine has always held a special spot as my favorite X-Man, and I like Hugh Jackman.

Screw you guys, I refuse to let your negativity drag me down.

Can I give away the spoilers? Please? I know what happens in the end, I know what they fucking do to the characters and the storyline. I need to vent, it's almost heartbreaking.

SPOILERS; YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

So Deadpool, one of the best characters in the Marvel universe, gets fucked up the ass with the giant spiked and bloody dildo of CREATIVE LICENSE. Instead of remaining Deadpool for any future movie or spinoff or what-have-you, they mutilate the character and turn him into Weapon XI. WHAT?? You can catch glimpses of him in the trailers. He's the bald pale guy. He has teleportation from Wraith, can shoot energy blasts from his eyes like Cyclops, healing factor and martial arts stemming from his original character, and giant fucking claws on his hands like Wolverine.

Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK. Way to go, Fox. Way to fucking go. Take one of the best characters and fuck it up so badly that what could have been a fantastic spin-off character for future projects gets turned into a laughingstock worthless lump of shit. Weapon XI is already another character in the X-Men, why do you have to go and do this?

I honestly can't comprehend why they thought this would be a good idea.

END SPOILERS

Having just read what Snath posted, I'm going to go shoot myself now. I'm so upset. Deadpool is in my top three favourite x-men, so this... is upsetting. Excuse me.

Looks like they have the basic idea for Sabretooth down, and casting Liev Schreiber was well done on their part. But Gambit looks and sounds laughably bad, and they've completely missed out on what makes Deadpool such a fun character (his book is the one Marvel title I still read), even as they cast him perfectly. Bummer, I was looking forward to this movie, but it seems like a continuation of the mistakes and stupidity that made the third X-Men movie nigh-unwatchable.

What's a Will.i.am? Is his mutant power the ability to make people eat their green eggs and ham?

i'll *still* see it. i tend to watch much worse repeatedly on dvd anyway (dolph in the punisher was so fine). and my entertainment budget can handle it.
i want to see what liev does with creed.
i want to see if emma gets into some sluttier clothes.
i want to see dominic monaghan as beak, whom i've yet to see in any promo (damnit).
and i want see logan give it to silver fox good AND proper.

I haven't even gotten as far as Gambit yet, but I ketp thinking, "I've heard this monologue before," during the Sabretooth one and yeah...I have, motherfucker is quoting The Fly. I'm...not sure how I feel about that.

and resulted in one FOX movie critic getting the can

What? Who? Why do I not know anything?

Gambit, Gambit, my one true love, what have they done to you? They've made him look like an incredibly douchey version of Alex in Clockwork Orange, in a really really bad way. I just died a little inside.

whoa! is there a pic of beak from the movie anywhere?
yeah he's chicken-y but his babies-mama is a fine black fairy girl.
and dominic is mmm.

"I've heard this monologue before," during the Sabretooth one

For Deadpool, too -- they stole that satirical slogan the hippies used to mock the Army with, re: going to new and exciting places, meeting interesting people, and killing them. Guh.

This will blow your minds but...

I like the hat.

I like men in hats.

I approve of the hat.

If I can post spoilers without getting shit for it I'll do it. I've seen the leaked version, it's terrible.

Well Melody you get to see Jackman ass.

Hugh? Check.
Liev? Check.
Ryan? Check.

They are all gorgeous gorgeous men. Plus, Gambit was always one of my favorites, so I'm hoping he won't be ridiculous. Will see this regardless.

Well I'm still kind of excited to see it. I love Hugh Jackman. I don't know much about the mythology of Wolverine so I don't have any expectations. Remy sounds like Benjamin Button.

Just so we're clear Texas is not part of the South ergo there accents are Texan not Southern. Unless there is sweet tea and the BBQ is pork then it's not the South. So when jackasses ask me if I'm from Texas I tell them Connecticut. The bewildered looks on their faces are very satisfying.

Anywhooslebees...so yeah I'm still going to see this movie.

Am I the only one who's more excited about Liev Schreiber being in this than Kitsch and Reynolds combined? I mean, I love me some Tim Riggins (although come on, we all know that Matt Saracen is really the dreamiest Panther), but there's something about Liev that I find really sexy. Hmmm...

Anyway, while I was initially looking forward to this movie, it's now been relegated to "I'll see it if someone else wants to, or if there's nothing else playing" status.

I don't get why you people are bitching about Deadpool.

A. Deadpool has never been a member of X-men or any other X-Team. He's a villain. Just because he's got his own title doesn't mean he's not a villain.
B. In the comics Deadpool got his powers by being expeirimented on. He's not a mutant. He's just a dude they fucked up. That's exactly what is going on in the film.
C. Deadpool is a douche. You'd all be bitching if Ryan Reynolds were playing him any other way, so why bitch if he's playing him like a douche? He's cool BECAUSE he's a douche, not in spite of it.
D. You're a douche.
E. Eat it.

Love Matty

The best thing about Weapon XI? He's not even played by Reynolds (who has about 5 minutes screen time overall).

Re Liev Schreiber: Wasted opportunity. He's the best actor in the whole ensemble, yet he's way too underused.

I agree with socalled--movie suckitude should be determined not by helicopters, but by the number of times people walk away from a massive explosion without looking back.

I mean, really, who wouldn't look back? It's a freaking explosion! At the very least, it would be cool to see. And how do they always know that they're just outside the radius and can saunter away safely? I'd be running my ass off. It's way less cool, but nine times out of ten, no one else is around anyway.

Also tired--the scene where the hero screams "NOOOOO!" at the sky as his loved one dies in his arms.

Fucking FOX. Why do they have to shit on everything I love?

Isn't there any way Marvel can take back all of their characters from other studios so we can see some proper comic book movies?

superasente
A: Correct
B: Partial credit - He had uncurable cancer, so he enlisted in the Weapon program, hoping they could cure him. They gave him a healing factor, but it also fucked up his face and made him insane. He doesn't have optic blasts, claws, teleportation, or whatever else they gave him in this movie. He can only teleport because of a device on his belt - not a mutant ability.
C: Wrong - He is not a douche, but the actor playing him is. He's an insane mercenary, and as far as I know, the only Marvel character to be aware that he is a comic book character. Also, he breaks the 4th wall in his comic.
D: I know you are, but what am I?
E: No.

I'm not gonna watch those clips. And I'm not going to visit that blog. Nor will I catch the leaked version. I don't care how many bad reports there are, I will be there opening day!

And just for clarification, I'm not one of the ladies just in it for the hotness of Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Kitsch (but I can't deny that they're a plus). I'm a diehard Marvel fan - been that way since I was a 10 year old girl reading her first X-Men comic (#24, featuring an extremely tortured date between Rogue & Gambit), and I will remain that way until the day I die.

What the ever living FUCK did they do!?! I KNEW 10 years ago when doing dream casting with my friends that the character of Gambit would get fucked up royally, but DEADPOOL!? How the ASS could you screw him up????

Dammit!
And Superasente, Deadpool is a wonderful douche, that's why I love him!

I think I want to crawl into a corner and cry now...
