I Have Just Seen... VII -

Deadpool was boring

***Nate*** · #**992** 02-15-2016, 11:16 PM

I haven't seen it yet, but a friend messaged me and said it reminded him of me. That was kinda worrying.

And I wasn't particularly reassured when he told me it's because there was a discussion of the poop emoji. And... uhhh... I'd told him this story and how I thought the emoji was meant to be soft-serve ice cream.

Apropos of Deadpool, it's #1 in every foreign market except in one shit of a country

Vexen · #**994** 02-16-2016, 09:36 AM

Deadpool looks like a waste of time.

Polish people have made the right choice.

I loved Planeta Singli.

Watched the Gravity Falls series finale. Absolutely wondrous and heartwrenching. I cried like a bitch.

I'm gonna miss this show so much.

FrustratedAssassin · #**998** 02-18-2016, 01:39 AM

I haven't watched it yet but my sister said she cried three times in 40 minutes so I can't wait to get back home and watch ot too.

Varrok · #**999** 02-18-2016, 04:57 AM

I've just watched it.

It was amazing.

A-mazing.

Crashpunk · #**1000** 02-18-2016, 06:31 AM

I did say to myself I was going to watch Gravity Falls when Rick and Morty finished it's second season.

I got to ask, Do you think I'd like it?

Varrok · #**1001** 02-18-2016, 06:55 AM

Oh wait. I meant Deadpool.

What's Gravity Falls

You would probably love it, it's got just as much heart as R&M (if not moreso) and a similarly surreal and weird/quirky sense of humour (although obviously not as raunchy as R&M as that's obviously not a "kids" show).

i just watched Life Of Pi and really enjoyed it. i thought the part near the end when the tiger just stands in front of the jungle staring in before disappearing was really sad. i could understand where Pi was coming from when he was upset that the tiger didn't look back at him or anything. i was sad to see him go. two potentially dangerous animals completely alien to one another shared a tiny boat and endured storms, starvation and dehydration without killing each other. that must be some kind of connection. if the tiger genuinely didn't care, surely he would have just killed the kid eventually? he had plenty of chances as time went on.

i'm just fascinated by alien minds and find 'understandings' between humans and non-humans amazing.

What's Gravity Falls

It's an animated series for toddlers.

Slog Bait · #**1005** 02-18-2016, 07:31 PM

I saw Deadpool on Valentine's Day with my parents

Being someone who enjoyed the comics a lot I also enjoyed the movie a lot. I have a few gripes, mostly because of comic elitism, but the movie is probably the most accurate and respectable "super hero" movie adaptation I've seen thus far. Well, minus the gratuitous cussing. My parents also adored it.

jesus fuck i cant wait to see cable in the sequel though god damn

If you don't like the comics you probably won't like the movie period

I also saw the GF finale, and I'd have liked it so much better if there wasn't the standard Disney Death (TM) nonsense. It was a great way to end the series, but everything after the season 1 finale just felt... boring and flat. I felt like there'd be a lot more to the second season than there ended up being, especially with how season 1 was handled. MILD DISAPPOINTMENT

Also how does vlam single handedly out-sour puss the entire forum's population

Slog Bait, don't you think the issue about the movie is Deadpool's hypocrisy? Sure, he spends the whole time breaking the fourth wall but at the same time it's still like any mainstream comic book movie. He doesn't do anything immoral or unexpected. Apart from that, the main actor is good (seen in "The Voices").

Varrok · #**1008** 02-19-2016, 04:41 AM

Define "moral" and "unexptected".

He did tons of unexpected things, if you didn't know the character before.

Vlam · #**1009** 02-19-2016, 04:45 AM

Like what? He is with the good guys side. He kills the bad guys. Happy ending. It's like any comic book movie.

Varrok · #**1010** 02-19-2016, 04:53 AM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but most superheroes don't actually *kill* bad guys. And don't torture them.

Vlam · #**1011** 02-19-2016, 04:58 AM

They kill bad guys. What about The Punisher? Same thing: torture is "ok" on bad guys.

Varrok · #**1012** 02-19-2016, 04:59 AM

Deadpool does that while being humorous. Name any other Marvel character with that mix.

Vlam · #**1013** 02-19-2016, 05:12 AM

That's my point: if you cut the "humorous" and vulgar part, it's like any comic book movie. He doesn't make peace with his enemy. He doesn't kill some good guys for fun. That will be unexpected and make the viewers uncomfortable.

Varrok · #**1014** 02-19-2016, 05:15 AM

Sometimes uniqueness is just a mix of things that aren't unique alone.

Fun fact, Havoc starred in that movie.

I'm pretty sure the point of the Deadpool movie wasn't to be cool, edgey, and original, but be a faithful adaptation of the crude, 4th wall breaking satirical character that brought a different type of edgelord to the "super hero" comic genre during the time when McFarlane knock-offs were over saturating the market. Which it was.

People who haven't been exposed to Deadpool before will have no idea what to expect, so I wouldn't say he didn't do anything unexpected. We had a lot of people walk out during the showing because even with an R rating, people thought it would still be kid appropriate FOR SOME REASON. Also keep in mind, some people were genuinely tricked into believing it was a romcom or just your average super hero film.

Also I wouldn't say being a mercinary is in any sense moral. Deadpool is and always will be on his own side. Sometimes that helps the Good Guys, but in general it just causes a big mess for the Good Guys to clean up, which is what Colossus's main complaint was the whole movie.

Hell, Deadpool flat out shot the Big Bad in the head in a moment of whimsey because Colossus was taking too long to give his hero speech. That's pretty immoral depending on your personal set of morals.

Man yeah him convincing that taxi driver to gut his cousin in front of his crush and then kidnap her is totally moral and good

No, but he does take enjoyment in slaughtering and humiliating nearly every Bad Guy he approaches. Typically, in a hero based movie, the protagonist struggles with possibly having to kill anyone at all. Deadpool literally kills a shitload of people and responds to the slaughter with masturbating to it. I can promise that made viewers more uncomfortable than any Good Guys being killed by Deadpool would have.

Deadpool would have been more groundbreaking as a movie if the Xmen movies had been handled in a totally different manner probably

tl;dr- I believe the movie acheives what it set out to do, and is in no way hyprocratic or a movie that paints the protagonist as an actual hero

Varrok · #**1017** 02-19-2016, 02:36 PM

I enjoy reading the hateful reviews of Deadpool on IMDB. There's so few of them, but they're a good laugh, still.

Slog Bait · #**1018** 02-19-2016, 02:38 PM

I love every single negative review stating their basis for the negative review as "it was not appropriate for children and there should have been more warning"

Alf Shall Rise · #**1019** 02-19-2016, 02:44 PM

There was actually a family with kids sitting a couple seats away from me when I watched it, and I heard them mumbling to each other about how it was more explicit than they thought. It's as if nobody checks movie ratings before taking their children to the theater.

Varrok · #**1020** 02-19-2016, 02:52 PM

There was 10 people in the theather room when I watched it. I guess the other 95% went to see that other shit movie

All 10 people had lots of fun watching it.
