I’d put Logan above Deadpool, even though DP has better rewatchability. Logan’s a tough rewatch cuz it makes me sad.
Which is even more ridiculous cuz they nailed the Wade Wilson section. I think it's mostly the unforgivably bad CGI claws that made the film go from "pretty ok" to "bad". And also that a much more interesting movie would have been a two hour version of the 2 minute intro of "Wolverine and Sabretooth Fighting Across Time and How They Went From Totes Besties to Mortal Enemies".
Binging classic X-Men tonight. Remember Days of Future Past 1&2 and Time Bandits 1&2 confused the hell out of me as a kid. Don’t even get me started on the Savage Lands (why is the hell is the Prof walking!?). Also love that Bishop and Cable come from futures where there are no X-Men and they hate the X-Men but they both wear X-Men uniforms. I know I’ve said it before but my kids named Xavier because of this show. Gambit was my favorite in the show and in the Super Nintendo game (level started with the card falling and blowing up as the guards came to look at it) and I got an OK for Remy from the She-Dirt but only for a girl. Logan was choice number 2 and got shot down without hesitation. Xavier was an instant hit.
Being a 9 year old in central Nebraska in 95 watching the Husks destroy everyone and playing this 24/7 was the life.
Listening to Phase Zero’s pod about Madame Web and they said they asked the writers why they chose to set it in 2003 and their reply was “we wanted to include Britney Spears songs and didn’t want it to seem out of place.”
James Gunn now realizing he fucked up big time by not having GOTG completely take place in the 70s and 80s
It just felt so incredibly out of place. Not like there are any literary or plot devices that could inform the character of any of the players in the film.
Was so disappointed to find out people from Louisiana weren't like that at all and worse, were Saints fans.
That would be the Deadpool section. The WW section is at the beginning when he's katanaing bullets and talking PG13 level shit
Gambit was one of my favorite X-Men. Bad ass fighter who can turn anything into a bomb he touches so he has projectiles as well.
I hate how he always frames these things - “my stunt crew”. Just say the stunt crew or our stunt crew. Leadership pet peeve.
Currently rewatching Wakanda Forever for the first time in a couple years and it's making me so angry. Not because it's bad - I think I'm enjoying it even more this time - but because Namor is portrayed as such a murderous cunt. "Join us against the surface world or we will destroy your country". Then... "Reveal our existence & I will kill your daughter (who I kidnapped just because), destroy your country and then kill you (the Queen, who he does)". Drowns thousands of men, women & children because Wakanda dared to rescue Shuri, killing two guards (one of which was about to kill her and the other threatening to). If the goal was to create any sympathy at all for Namor and the Talokans, they failed - I wanted them all dead. And then they softcocked out with Shuri sparing him. Seriously, if Doom is anywhere near as big a bastard as Namor, Marvel will have done well.
I am a very amateur comic reader but I gathered that Namor’s a dick in them too. Need backup here from my s
Namor had perpetually been a dick. He loathes humanity for poisoning and killing his people with no care for them even once they learn. So he in turn, gives them back the same energy.
He’s one of those antihero’s that in the end generally does the right thing. But he’s going to be an ass up until then.
Dick, sure. At war with the surface world, absolutely. But I can't remember too many stories where he's coldly executed potential allies just to force them to join him. Yes, he was always hard and brutal, but his underlying quality was his nobility and honour. Can't say I saw any of that in the movie version - he was just a murderous bastard who'd kill anyone to get his way.
