Domino is one of my favourite characters and I'm really glad she'll be in this.

I think that just having a guy who goes around calling himself Shatterstar and dressing the way he does being played completely straight is probably the funniest way that they could handle the character.

So which team member is going to die almost immediately as a gag? Peter or Shatterstar? Kinda hoping Peter just pulls his weight and helps out in the movie. Killing him seems like it'd be offing a puppy.

Killing him seems like it'd be offing a puppy. If you don't mind a supposed leak, Peter, Shatterstar, and Bedlam all get killed in about five minutes. The real supporting cast is Domino, Colossus, Negasonic, and Surge.

If this movie is good and makes dough and if Domino gets hype enough for a spinoff I think they might as well give the X-Universe to Reynolds' group. They seem to know what they're doing and the characters are good, especially what they did with Colossus.

if Shatterstar bites it, they're probably going to get some backlash, but... frankly, based on those leaks, I get the impression they really don't care and may in fact be trying to invite as much backlash as possible.

They may also just bring him back in a subsequent film and never mention it, because that's a good and funny joke. I'm laughing now.

In a super violent movie with multiple gay characters I'm pretty sure you can kill one off and it's not going to start a shitstorm. Especially when nobody IRL has heard of Shatterstar and they may not even mention he's gay in the movie.

What I want out of the sequel: * Actually pushing the boundaries for real, and not the mamby pamby "you can totally cut yourself on all of this EDGE" of the first movie. * Unmasked Deadpool actually looking hideous, and not Ryan Reynolds in Freddy Krueger makeup. * White and Yellow Subtitles that argue with one another, a la the White and Yellow Text Boxes. * Deadpool sitting down Nega Teenage Sonic Warhead and another female character to have a conversation and then declaring that the movie passes the Bedechel Test.

Given Zeitgeist’s comic backstory, (he was introduced in Milligan/Allred’s X-Force), my money’s on him, since that iteration had a rather high... turnover rate.

I didn't feel the movie was necessarily pushing boundaries or at least not as making a statement out of it, just to revel in an anarchic, brutally slapstick, cartoony sense of humour, which is a big contrast from the intensely straight-faced with token comic relief formula of most superhero movies.

On the other hand they've gone to a fair bit of effort building him up before the film comes out which would make it even more funnier if they offed him super quick.

Great Lakes Avengers crossover and it's actually Mr Immortal. Going by the usual gag with these characters, his superpower will be common sense and willingness to try to talk things out like a sensible person every now and again.

Suicide Squad completely bungled the joke of offing Slipknot at the beginning and then running into a bunch of problems that could be solved with fancy rope-tying skills but I trust Deadpool to handle it better.

I never thought the first Deadpool looked all that interesting, but I saw the trailer for the 2nd and it seemed pretty rad. So I checked out the 1st yesterday and, yeah, it's OK but not great. The action was pretty dang good and most of the jokes landed, but it didn't push things far enough and despite it's claims to be "Not your momma's superhero movie" it still had the blandest, most cliche superhero plot out there. So hopefully the trailer is accurate in that they just push the craziness to the max and actually fulfill the potential.

I read a plot summary about Captain Boomerang convincing him the bombs are BS and Slipknot’s head explodes, but did they run into poo poo where ‘oh no! If only we could tie a bowline knot! None of us can do that!’
