Got to Winter Soldier tonight in our Infinity Saga rewatch Before we get started, does anyone want to get out?
Been 6 years now. Don’t think in his wildest dreams he could imagine a $1.3 billion R rated Deadpool movie would start streaming on his memoriam. I’m sure he’d love it though.
The D&W assembled is pretty good. Reynolds pitched 19 different ideas before Jackman called and asked if he could be in it (one idea was a shot for shot remake of Thor 2).
I watched D&W again last night. I stand by my contention after my first viewing in the theater that it sucks. A couple fun little things sprinkled in (mainly the resistance cameo crew in the Void, as well as a great post-credits scene), but it's pretty terrible.
I still enjoyed it but the number of slow motion walking to a pop song before a fight scenes stands out even more
I think this is definitely true of the second one. Stupid plot/movie but hilarious. I thought the first one was a really good movie and was really funny. I don't think this one works as either.
What a bunch of lame asses. If you can’t have fun watching D&W then that’s a you problem. It never claimed or tried to be a perfect movie plot wise. The only reason the TVA wanted DP was so he could get a way to jump timelines, hence the “what in the macguffin is that” quote. It was funny, the fights/choreography were great (minus the army of DPs), Jackman/Reynolds chemistry is great, the cameos were fun, and there’s 1000s of Easter eggs. It was a thank you/good bye to the Fox properties as well as an FU to the Disney morality police. Fact is, an R rated movie during the time of superhero fatigue doesn’t make $1.35 billion without being entertaining.
I can tell you the youths are obsessed with ByeByeBye like it’s 2001 all over again. Fortnight added it as a dance as well so it’s everywhere.
Someone who voluntarily watches 50+ pistons games a year not enjoying DandW is some nasty nasty work. couldn’t be me
History will be on my side on this. DirtBall freaked out on everyone a few years ago when Love and Thunder came out and people said it sucked, and now he just pretends he didn't and acknowledges it for what it is. If y'all liked that piece of trash, good on you. But remember this day when two years from now (if Trump hasn't blown the world up yet) you're in here talking about it how much it sucked.
LIES! I admitted after watching it a second time without 3 gummies that it missed the mark. Checked again when it hit D+ to confirm. Seen D&W 3 times now to confirm that opinion as well.
I'm just giving you shit. I was kind of the same as you on Love and Thunder because I tried so hard to be in the "come on, guys! It's not that bad!" But then I watched another time or two and it was every bit that bad.
I am shocked that someone who has spent 7 years rooting for Trae Young could also lie to himself about a bad movie being good
My wife, who loves the Infinity Saga, is essentially out on Marvel on this point and I'm way behind because she hates Multi-verse stories. Gave up on Flash and Arrow, et. al when that became a thing and is pretty much done with this iteration of Marvels arc.
I've said it before but I've been pretty checked out since the Infinity Saga. Not because anything I've seen has been bad, it's just that they tried to shove too much out too quickly. It was impossible to keep up with movies, this or that tv show, this or that documentary, or whatever. Instead I'll watch things as one-offs and then move on. I'm sure I'm missing a ton but it was impossible for me to keep up with what was what.
I would imagine the double whammy of telling a multiverse story and losing two of the most charismatic franchise actors ever has been a big part of why general interest has fallen off. Will be interesting to see if Downey returning as Doom helps with that, but I think for the general public they just don't have actors they want to latch onto in the current roster, never mind all the different things they have to watch to stay current.
I MAYBBE DRUMK…. I MAYBNE HIGH…. BUT!!! moon Knight is the greatest thing we’ve ever been blessed with. Prove me wrong.
