Well, we had a post on this a long while back, but it hasn't been posted in since early August, sooo...in an effort to avoid anybody responding directly to points made six months ago, here's a fresh one:

This past week at NYCC, Fox released three new short trailers to go along with the previous theatricals, all three can be found here.

The trailers feature some potentially heavy spoilers regarding Wolverine's childhood and a couple of surprise character cameos, so be forewarned. As a longtime fan of the X-Men comics, I'm having a lot of trouble not being excited for this after all of the trailers, which are VERY comic accurate for those curious.

Oh. Oh my. Oh my yes.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #2 on:** 18 Feb 2009, 11:54 »

i was really excited about this until i watched a trailer for it a while back. then i got kind of bummed.

then again, maybe these are different trailers and they will renew my faith. will watch later, when i'm not busy at work.

Dazed · « **Reply #3 on:** 18 Feb 2009, 12:20 »

Oh man, finally a Gambit sighting. That + Ryan Reynolds + Liev Schreiber = I am definitely looking forward to this.

0bsessions · « **Reply #4 on:** 18 Feb 2009, 15:02 »

What is it about the first trailers that bummed you, SWM? I've liked every trailer.

Dazed, you know Gambit's been showing up in trailers since like November, right?

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #5 on:** 18 Feb 2009, 15:10 »

honestly, i can't even remember.

i just remember watching it and being like "uh that doesn't look that sweet"

Dazed · « **Reply #6 on:** 18 Feb 2009, 16:39 »

Aye Jon, I meant in terms of him actually showing up in one of the movies.

Why Gambit sucks.

Tom · « **Reply #8 on:** 18 Feb 2009, 22:06 »

I am still not excited for this. I like Deadpool, Wolverine and Gambit but I just can not get started.

I am excited for this movie. But then again, I was interested from when I first heard about it and the previews look pretty good.

Bahahaha!

skinnyfat · « **Reply #10 on:** 19 Feb 2009, 17:47 »

I am fairly excited about this movie! After Xmen 3, I kind of lost hope in the franchise. But after seeing a few of the trailers, I have a glimmer of hope again.

Yes! Gambit! I have been waiting for him to be in a movie since the first xmen.
He is the awesome.

The only thing about the trailers that gives me a little sense of hesitation about this movie is the part at the end of one where Wolverine basically flips a car and jumps onto a helicopter. Yeah....
Does that part bug anyone else?

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #11 on:** 19 Feb 2009, 17:49 »

yes! that was one of the major things that bothered me about it, i think.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #12 on:** 19 Feb 2009, 20:54 »

Here's something that is bothering me, what is this movie to the other 3?

0bsessions · « **Reply #13 on:** 19 Feb 2009, 21:00 »

Prequel, with the bulk of the plot occurring approximately twenty years prior to the first X-Men movie.

Betagold · « **Reply #14 on:** 21 Feb 2009, 10:49 »

I plan on seeing it. I'm not as excited for it as I was for The Dark Knight or Watchmen, but I'll see it nonetheless.

I'm assuming there'll be lots of sexy shirtless Ryan Reynolds in the movie then.

I know some people that will enjoy that.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #20 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 17:55 »

I've been on tenter-hooks ever since I heard they were making this film, even more so since I heard Ryan Reynolds was playing Deadpool. I honestly can't wait for this film and you better believe I am going to grow my hair out and style it like Wolverine for when I go see the film.

It is times like these I wish I had 12" adamantium claws. Ah well.

I should consider giving myself some chops and deploying my twelve inch adamantium blade for the opening.

Can't say I'm a fan of what they're doing with Deadpool, but I'll give it a shot nonetheless. For what it is, it didn't look too shabby.

thaX · « **Reply #25 on:** 01 Mar 2009, 10:20 »

Just have to ask, you think the last guy with the red eye spew actually Scott? Or a different guy? Almost looked like the Night Crawler looking dude from a few clips back.

It was revealed at a con months ago that Cyclops will have a cameo as a prisoner of Weapon X, it's definitely Summers. I'm also of the mind that this might be a springboard to potentially involve Sinister in a vague cameo.

Also in the trailer that's from, Deadpool shooting eye beams.

My avatar perfectly conveys how I feel about that

UPDATE: The wiki for the movie is saying this is someone else entirely, someone called Weapon XI, and that the toy was mislabeled.

I don't doubt it at all. For anyone who's read the comics, that idea actually makes a fuck ton of sense.

Kind of looks like a less retarded Agent X. You know, before he got FAT.

When the "Deadpool" name sticker is removed it reveals the following information:

Quote

The Weapon 11 program has created the ultimate mutant-DEADPOOL! As the mutant menace rampages across Three Mile Island, Logan and Victor Creed are forced to team up--or be destroyed.

also, IMDB on Weapon XI

I AM SO SORRY

It doesn't add up to me. While I'm no stranger to movies changing characters for creative license, it just doesn't seem true to me. Why use a completely separate actor for the character's eventual destination? There's been a lot of rumors that Fox and Ryan Reynolds wouldn't mind using this movie as a Deadpool solo movie and altering the character and using a different actor after the change seems counter productive for that. The only way I can see it working that way is if he's altered and then reverted in the course of the movie.

Honestly, I find myself putting more stock in the likelihood of a printing error on the part of Hasbro. This alleged Deadpool seems like nothing the comics have ever done, is not played by Ryan Reynolds and really doesn't add up in any way.

My hopes are still high for this movie, at least.

"insight" into the movie; the wounds are reopened

David_Dovey · « **Reply #37 on:** 07 Mar 2009, 23:01 »

I'm still not entirely sure if I can bring myself to believe that. I could still use some more confirmation. If it is true there is definitely no chance I will pay to see this movie.

Stupid Human · « **Reply #38 on:** 17 Mar 2009, 10:22 »

I absolutely cannot stand trailers like this. I watched the latest Origins trailer when I saw Watchmen and I had to turn and talk to my friend halfway through to distract me cause they give away almost the whole movie. Why why why do people insist on trailers heavy with spoilers?!!

Ozymandias · « **Reply #39 on:** 17 Mar 2009, 10:30 »

Maybe "Deadpool" gets defeated, horribly scarred and loses all of his acquired powers, but remembers his Wade Wilson side, and then becomes the wonderful Deadpool we know we love just in time for his own movie OH COME ON WHAT THE HELL, WHY NOT JUST MAKE A BRAND NEW CHARACTER, YOU ASSHOLES?

satsugaikaze · « **Reply #40 on:** 19 Mar 2009, 04:11 »

Wait, Tom, are Victor Creed's fingernails that retardedly big intentionally? o_O

Chesire Cat · « **Reply #41 on:** 19 Mar 2009, 09:51 »

Have you ever read xmen, collected cards, played with the toys, watched the cartoons or the movies.

Sabertooth has hella nails, yes, hella.

satsugaikaze · « **Reply #42 on:** 20 Mar 2009, 07:00 »

Ohkay, my bad.

The generic trenchcoat punched me in the face and made me temporarily forget that Sabretooth doesn't always look ridiculously hairy or has to have a completely different look in films like they usually do.

You mean the girl in the right hand blue box? That's X-23, Wolverine's clone and she is by no means in this movie.

It looked like the Deadpool character had the three or four blades too, guess not.

axerton · « **Reply #46 on:** 24 Mar 2009, 01:31 »

no by the looks of it 'deadpool' only has a single blade coming out of the back of his wrist.

I stand corrected. Having watched the leaked pre-screener, I can say that this movie was the absolute definition of mediocrity. I was able to make enough excuses to rationalize X3 as being halfway decent, but I can't even do that for this. It's just...not a good movie in any way, shape or form. The movie falls into pretty much every single bad action movie cliche. Save yourself ten bucks and just download a Steven Segal movie, it's pretty much the same thing.

lprkn · « **Reply #48 on:** 02 Apr 2009, 00:36 »

But...he's the best at what he does. And Steven Seagal movies don't have adamantium.
