    At last a flick with Deadpool. Seems that at Marvel someone's common sense started tingling.

    I don't think I've ever seen a film with Ryan Reynolds in it, so I have no real opinion on it either way. Still, presumably he'll be an antagonist to Wolverine for most (if not all) of the film. I'm fairly certain there is a Deadpool solo film project under way, but I'm a bit worried it'll follow the footsteps of Elektra i.e. a shitty spin-off. Well, we can but hope.

    Are we sure that's Emma Frost? I guess it could be, but I didn't immediately think of her and she's not listed on the IMDB...

    I'm disappointed Brian Cox won't be reprising the role of Stryker, IMO X2 was undoubtedly the best X-Men film, and ranks in the top 5 of my favourite superhero films of all time. Danny Huston was in "The Number 23." On a related point, he was shit.

    Wasn't Weapon XI a hound in the Days of Past? Or a hound of some sort? My X-lore isn't spectacular.

    Q: Reasons why the Blob shouldn't be black
    A: He's not a nigger.

    On the subject of niggers, Isaiah Bradley was Weapon I. II through V (maybe?) were animals.

    That isn't Emma Frost. She is way early in the time line to even be her. She should be around Scot's age and are more then just friends with Scott. And the last time i remembered, Emma doesn't have any ability that sustains her life span.

    Also, Deadpool is ASWOME! And i highly doubt they would turn this loving character like the movie Electra. I'm sure they learned there lesson, like they did with Hulk.

    NERDRAGE!

    Captain America was Weapon I. Being the case that Isaiah Bradley suffered from niggeritus he was deemed unworthy of the honor of being Weapon I. For all intents and purposes he was a prototype. Weapon 0 if you want to give him a title.

    With Emma Frost: The director could take artistic liscense on her. Not too many X-Men movies are coming out soon. Aside from Wolverine and Magneto. He could simply have her be in the time of Weapon X. I don't really care though. It's Emma Frost.

    I heard the Deadpool movie was cancelled, and absorbed into the Wolverine movie. If the coming movie does well enough Deadpool could see his own movie.

    The trailer looked decent, but not amazing. I didn't like the look of the younger Logan and some of the scenes felt a bit forced and flat, though it is hard to tell just from a trailer. Nevertheless I'll probably go watch it when it comes out, unless it gets horrible reviews of something.

    Wow, some of those movies sound really really terrible.

    I mean, Magneto's origins? Really? Let's face it, no one goes to an X-Men movie wanting to see the Holocaust. The two or three minutes devoted to it in the original X-Men movie was plenty, thanks.

    And as for the Green Lantern movies, have the people making this movie looked around lately? You know, at all the yellow stuff on earth? I didn't understand the appeal of the comic book to begin with, but a movie can only be way worse.

    Has anyone else noticed how many movies expect Downey Jr. to act in them? He seems to have promised himself to every producer ever.

    It's not like the entire movie is set 50-200 years back in time. Depending on the series you read, Wolverine had been running from Weapon X for decades. As far as I recall (I never read the entire Origin series) Wolverine has come into contact with the Hellfire Club many times - it's even mentioned several times in the current timeline. I'm going to say it is Emma Frost, on the grounds that she's hot as fuck and Wolverine should totally bang her.

    Magneto's entire life doesn't revolve around the Holocaust. How about when he was in the same platoon as Xavier, the years he spent recruiting the Brotherhood, his infection of Marko with the Crystal of Cytorak, his first battle with the X-men, dealings with Apocalypse, refining of his powers...

    There is a lot more to Magneto than you'd think.

    I'm finding it confusing to target what universe most Directors are trying to nail with their movies. The Spiderman, X-Men and even the Iron Man movie have showed traits of the 'Original' verse, Ultimate and 'New' verse all mixed together. Which is really confusing when you're trying to hone in on a direct storyline.


    The Green Lantern Corps were fucking win, you can go eat a dick.

    Pshaw, all their archenemies had to do was build wooden suits and paint them yellow to get away with anything.

    Name one of the Green Lantern folk who was as cool as Batman or Wolverine.

    Not this guy, that's for sure.

    Er...how about Hal Jordan for one?

    I'll admit Alan Scott looked like a toss but come on... ever looked at the original Batman outfit? Daredevil's? Toad's?

    Superheroes/villains had gay comics when they were first written, it's the law of the universe. The Green Lantern was an awesome suit, colour yellow be damned. All you had to do with superman was through some kypronite at him (which is apparently incredibly abundant on Earth) or make a loud noise to knock out Daredevil. Take out Pyro's fire generator, place Magneto in a plastic prison, chuck the Blob in front of the Juggernaut. Everyone has their weakness, you don't judge a character based on it.

    The Darkness doesn't have a huge fanbase, it's much more of a cult comic. Witchblade was massively popular for a long time, even now, but The Darkness only got some attention once the game was announced. I don't expect many of these movies to actually be made but there's a few I'm holding out for.

    I personally want to see a Daredevil sequel. With Black Widow. Rawr.

    Actually, Weapon 0 resulted in something else:

    Issiah Bradley was the result of Weapon I. After Reinstein tried recreating the Super Soldier Serum, he tested on a whole platoon of black soldiers, the only surviving one of which became Bradley. After discovering that the natural athleticism (inherent from their ball dribbling ability) in black people combined with the serum resulted in spectacular subjects, they devised Weapons V and VI.

    The hilarious Weapon V and VI:

    You have a point about Witchblade but then how do you explain Magdalena? That's even less known than the Darkness but its still getting a movie.

    Okay for one, Wolverine has healing ability that lengthens his life span. I can't say the same for Emma. And is NOT Emma in the movie.

    No idea. I've never read Magdalena. I've given up trying to understand film producers.

    ...

    Did you get my point at all? Just because the story of Wolverine goes back a fucking long time, it doesn't mean the whole movie is set in the same fucking time. Wolverine didn't have to meet Frost early on in his life, he's had dealings with the Hellfire Club for years. Even in recent years. You see clips of when he's a kid over a century ago, the Civil War and WW1 (or two), is it that farfetched to think that perhaps it might bring it into the not-so-decent past when he can meet Frost at her age?

    I don't know how long a timeline this movie will stretch out, I don't know if it actually is Emma Frost, I don't even know how much of the story-line they'll stick to. What I do know is that the bitch turned to diamond and raised her hands as if using one of Frost's psychic attacks. It's an assumption, but a pretty good one in my opinion.

    It's not a very good assumption when the "bitch" as you say isn't in the site IMDb. And the fact that this "bitch" looks more like ice then anything else. Also, one doesn't need to raise there bloody arms to use there mind powers dumb shit.

    And you are comparing Emma Frost tp someone like Wolverine who has been all over the bloody time line, and in many cases contradict it self. Also, if you watched it closely, you also see the wolverine as a kid killing his dad or uncle or whoever it is, with his adamantium claws. It is covered in ADAMANTIUM. This obviously leads me to believe it's nothing more then a dream or a flashback of his past.

    Your assumption isn't very good at all.

    For one, IMDB doesn't always know everything. For all we know, 'dumb shit', Emma could be a fleeting character we see for a few minutes - if not seconds - during a breakout/attack/explosion or something throughout the movie. Look at Collosus in X-Men, he featured or about 5 seconds in the 2nd one I think. He's a hell important character.

    What the hell are you trying to say there? I wasn't comparing the two at all, I simply said that Wolverine has had a fuckload of years in which to come into contact with various people. Gambit is in the movie, so is The Blob and neither of them have age lengthening mutations. But hang on a second - aren't they frequently featured characters in the current age? Why I believe they are.

    [​IMG]

    Notice how she sparkles? Like diamonds. Notice how she's kinda clear-white? Like most people think diamonds to look like. Notice how she looks kinda like a diamond studded hot bitch? Hmm...I see a connection here.

    [​IMG]

    That looks like fucking bone to me. It's not shiny or the same colour as adamantium (silvery metal, if you're wondering).

    Your arguments suck when you don't even listen to what I say. I'm willing to accept that it could be someone else, but at this point in time I am fairly fucking sure that that is Emma Frost.

    EDIT: Wolverine says so.

    Now fuck off.

    That's Emma, asshead. And yes, Wolvie should totally make a pass at that, but seriously, your argument is... this?

    Those could be adamantium claws, but they look a damn lot like bone. Adamantium's supposed to look like this:

    [​IMG]

    See that? Shiny, silvery as fuck. Those other claws are definitely bone. Or at the very least, some dull metal which is certainly not adamantium.
