Saw this as a double feature and had a great time. The deaths of all those lame superheroes five minutes after they were introduced was just lovely. As was baby legs Deadpool, though he was also simultaneously very disturbing. e: I will add that his gf dying immediately after watching the first movie was a little stunning but I gueeeesss it doesn't even matter. e2: Cable is a racist tell your friends. turtlecrunch fucked around with this message at 05:02 on May 18, 2018 |

This movie is so good. Such an unbelievable tribute to and parody of the Liefeld era. They even had a skydiving sequence (that's how all all 90s superheroes got into enemy bases)

The double feature really was a nice touch, wasn't it? First time my city has ever done something like that for a film, and it really made the whole narrative stick so much better. The Vanessa stuff sticks so much harder on an emotional level when you see the first film directly before hand. Also the x-force weren't the only casualties from that scene. I straight up died from laughing and am now alive only due to time travel shenanigans. Caros fucked around with this message at 06:31 on May 18, 2018 |

I went to see this movie and it was sold out at 10:30 on a Thursday night, in my overgrown cowtown no less.  I have a feeling the movie's gonna do gangbusters.

I really adored this movie. Its the first movie but with more and better in some ways. Anytime Cable is standing in a mirror with the purple comic book city behind him just owns. I went to the double showing thing and that was worth it to be honest. Good character stuff carries through.

Really enjoyed it. The scene where Russel is talking to Juggernaught in the prison and decides they need a signal like "ca-caw" killed me. It was a direct callback to Hunt for the Wilderpeople and I think my gf and I were the only people to start laughing hysterically.

I couldn't keep it together during the absolutely perfect James Bond-esque introduction sequence with Celine Dion blaring I knew about her involvement prior to the film thanks to YouTube, but in the context of the film it was just perfect.

If you liked Deadpool then you should like DP2 even more. It's very dense with jokes amd not all land, but the ones that do are really funny. X-Force mass death and baby legs just dick-shirtin' it for instance.

You think there's mean to be something deeper to that? In the comics, Juggernaut had a big brother relationship with a bullied mutant kid for a while, partially built from his own history with abuse from when he was a child. This was during the period where Juggernaut was a member of the X-Men and taught gym at the school. It was the lone bright spot in what's considered maybe the worst X-Men run of all time.

Comrade Fakename posted:”…somebody who can’t draw feet!” I'm the only one who laughed at that in my theater, but goddamnit, that's a funny loving joke. Movie had a slightly better plot than the first film, Cable and Domino were excellent additions, and Ryan Reynolds continues to be the perfect choice for the character. I also loved all the jabs at the MCU, which there were a lot more than I expected.

They replaced almost all trailer jokes with different ones, except the "DCEU" one. I wish they didn't mention DC anything until the after credit burn.

So in the first movie Deadpool & pals fight the military industrial complex and blow up an aircraft carrier. In Deadpool 2 they fight the school-to-prison pipeline,blow up a prison and carjack a prisoner transport.

The DC burns were real good. Also Deadpool constantly trying to make out Cable as a huge racist. RIP Black Tom, your powers of cultural appropriation couldn't stop a bullet sadly

poptart_fairy posted:How was it satired in this film? I mean... the opening credits made fun of it right after it happened? Then they reversed it in the most wacky comic book way possible via time travel? It's not some  critique but they clearly didn't take the idea of whacking a major character for cheap shock value seriously.

Yo, sean, maybe inch those spoiler tags back a bit so that people don't know the thing that's made fun of in the opening credits gets reversed mid-ending-credits.

Vanessa should have stayed dead. Their relationship is too sweet for the Deadpool character. During the 3rd act, I really thought Cable was going to use his one shot of time travel going back to beginning of the film to save Vanessa, to repay Deadpool saving his family. Unlimited time travel change things too much. whatever7 fucked around with this message at 17:12 on May 18, 2018 |

I disagree that playing the death comepletely straight, using it to kick start the entire plot and then reversing it in a quick joke post credits is satire. Winking at the camera and saying "this lazy writing" doesn't make it any less so, but at this point

Megazver posted:They also apparently cut out a post-credits scene where Deadpool kills baby Hitler. Yeah, apparently the scene was a bit too much. Supposedly he arrives in a german nursery, looks at baby hitler in a crib but can't do it. Walks off screen, comes back with a marker and draws a mustache on hitler before muttering 'maximum effort' and proceeding to throttle him. I definitely hope it makes the deleted scenes.

Deadpool as a character always works best with a bit of heart, the wacky bullshit and killing folks bits get old after a bit.

He was already doing that before she died. Her death actually put him back 10 steps.

Something that could be done without going that dull and pretty wasteful route. The writing is very sharp otherwise, so to hinge on such an event strikes me as kinda lazy.

Does "Peter" from the trailers do anything important? Because one of the trailers with him had this really dramatic skydiving moment and I'm curious whether that ends in a gag or if he actually helps.
