but a mute laser-shooting, electronically-controlled, adamantium-enhanced Wade Wilson shouldn’t be used as the final villain.

I hope in the spinoff that he just has healing and teleportation.

1: The government (Striker) needs to get hold of Deadpools body… from the ruble, not later.

2: Striker needs to enlist the help of Killbrew to complete his “mutant killer”.

3: Killbrew needs to take Deadpool to “The Workshop” with other mutant failures.

4: Killbrew needs to remove the eye blast, the arm-blades and the teleportation (of course… Deadpool has been able to teleport with the help of Weasel and Cable in the past… so that one could be rationalized).

5: While removing these powers, Killbrew inadvertently increases Deadpools healing factor 100 fold, and creating the signature tumor-laden body of Wade Wilson we all know… and makes him completely insane.

6: When Killbrew realizes what happened, he gets his main enforcer, Ajax, to kill Deadpool, they rip him apart, but Deadpool grows back.

All this could easily happen in 10-20 minutes leaving plenty of time for another story…

Some things I would LOVE for them to include… some staples of Deadpools personality:

1: His love affair with Death… this could be incorporated, but it may be a little much for movie-goers.

2: the breaking of the fourth wall… he did this a little at the end of Wolverine (you all know what I mean). Deadpool would KNOW he was in a movie and he would reference it.

3: A Deadpool movie really should have a voiceover… kinda like the little yellow boxes… actually… having the little yellow boxes would be totally awesome!

4: Ideally the story would include Weasel, Blind Al and T-Ray… be based loosely around the events before the Mithras directive and some after that involved T-Ray. They could even set up that Wade had Al captive and knew Weasel before Striker took him to be Weapon XI…

Deadpool can be fixed… probably won’t be… but he could be.

I saw the flick and the only sweet spot for me was the Sabretooth Wolverine rivalry. Loved the chemistry. Thought they captured Logan and Creed well enough to make me feel as if there was something salvageable out of this.

The movie should have stuck close to that premise or at least tie things in better but as we all know this is Hollywood and you rarely get what you pay for.

As far as the title of the movie; it should have been “Origin” singular and not “Origins/Marketing Ploy/Alienate The Audience”. Look…..I understand cameos….I get it… Everyone gets it…but to mass produce or “introduce” origins for so many known (if not well respected) characters was the biggest slap in the face for all of the writers and artists who labored for years fleshing these characters out. What takes a lifetime to build can be destroyed in an instant, and FOX proves it again and again. Every single “origin” that was savagely shoved down my throat was an insult to fans and/or newcomers alike. They were all unwarranted filler, that unabashedly screamed:

“Hello we the producers of this hack of a film just wanted to point out that we never considered an audience to really matter that much when it came to making this movie. When we saw how much the Spiderman and X-men franchises made, we came to only viable solution possible; to dupe you into believing that we had your best interests at heart by choosing a move title that we KNEW would reel-in every sucker who likes this kind of crap so that we could easily profit off of the merchandising rights as you know we always do (Thanks George Lucas! You’re our Hero!!!). Other than that, we do not find it in our best interest to give you what you paid for…ps- Buy the 5 direct to DVD spin-offs available at your local Wal-Mart. Thanks in advance. Ca-ching$$$$$$”

Although the “origins” of all characters involved were equal parts slap in the face and merchandising, out of all of them (sorry Gambit, I truly am) Deadpool got the worst of it.

First off, let me just say that I can’t classify myself as a Deadpool fan. I probably would have been if the price of comics hadn’t skyrocketed in the 90′s, but hey, win some lose some. With that being said, even though I barely know much about him, you don’t need to be a fan or genius to establish the plain fact that FOX completely eviscerated what could have been an interesting character.

Even though Deadpool fell off my radar way back when, I can say with all honesty and no remorse (this is not the norm for me by any means)that deadpool, as a viable character, was completely butchered. In my opinion Ryan Reynolds was perfect for the role. To people I know, he is annoying at best (although I kind of like him). The same can be said for Deadpool. He annoys people. Hence the name – “Merc with a mouth”. They had my interests peeked up until they “reintroduced” him in the end. It reminded me of “Wild Wild West” (For brevity I’ll just mention the Spider scene and leave the rest.)

I am not offering this post as a challenge to prove me wrong. I am only offering it as a perfect example of what happens to well known characters when hollywood ignorance/politics/money and a complete lack of audience respect are involved (i.e. Jon Peters, Joel Shumacher and on and on).

Adamantium a la Barracka? Laser beams a la Cyclops? Frankensteins’ Monster motif? Le What?!!! What the heck happened to him?!!! And my disbelief grows even sicker when I unwisely stayed after the credits to see the “easter egg”. Now that was pathetic… The easter egg is probably the only clue I ever had that the film “sort of” knew who or what deadpool was, but it was too little too late.

As much as it pains me to say it Deadpool should stay dead and they should shoot the last 30 mins of this film and all available prints into the sun. My prediction? Unless they plan to make a Deadpool Begins, you can expect the spinoff to suck worse than daredevil, electra, batman 3/4 combined.

RIP Deadpool I hardly knew ye….

Lets not get our spirits down because its not like this will be the last marvel movie ever made

who’s they?

And if you want more critical opinion (if that matters), check out rotten tomatoes (the first two movies had higher than 80, this one had in the 50s).

I think this movie failed for fans of the X-Men (especially), critics and mainstream moviegoers.
