My problem with X-Men Origins: Wolverine
I enjoyed the crap out of the movie.. right up until it jumped the shark. It takes a lot for a superhero movie to actually jump the shark, but it can be done.
Right at the end. That's when it happened. The instant Deadpool shot lasers from his eyes, the shark was jumped. Some argue that it happened when he had swords longer than his forearms come out of his hands, but no. As ludicrous as that was, it was merely waterskiing in a leather jacket. The actual jump occured when the eyelazors happened.
It's a damn shame, I got a huge kick out of the rest of the movie (departures from cannon and character aside, they were mild enough to accept), but the end really kinda screwed me on it. IF they make a Deadpool movie, I hope they throw out a lot of the crap they pulled here.
Anyways, as for the piece.. inks and colored pencils, unfinished, obviously. It also won't get finished, I think I've done enough to serve the purpose I intended.

I sure hope they do, and they SHOULD make one.. and I'm glad to hear that.. he HAS to break the wall.
He kinda did, if you sat through the credits, looked right at the camera and went "Shhhhh"
They just better throw out the whole weapon 11 thing and make him the failed experiment he was supposed to have been.

Because I swear to god, if I go to Deadpool the movie and he shoots ONE FUCKING EYELAZOR I'm walking out.
You could grow your own foot-swords, and skate out. :D
I dunno how close they'll stick, since the burning lasers made the obvious eye-marks, like on his mask, and his face is so effed up that he'd probably have to put on the ACTUAL MASK from thereon in...yet it's Ryan Reynolds, and the execs will want his face onscreen.
My guess? Super-prequelage.

Although it'd be funny if they made a reference to it..
Deadpool: *Glares at villain*
Villain: What are you doing?
Deadpool: Trying to kill you with my eyebeams.
Villain: You don't have eyebeams.
Deadpool: Sure I do! I had them back in X-Men Origins: Wolverine! I don't know how I lost them though...
Villain: ...What?
Deadpool: Oh, don't tell me I got retconned again. I HATE THAT!

Actually id be ok if they kept this version of him for the spin off movie. Fairly easy to work around all the goofy changes they made to him in the first 10mins of the movie. He finds his severed head, does a slapstick routine with trying to reattach it to his neck. duck tape is applied. goes to his shitty apartment and watches tv for 30 odd years to get the time line to current. Having his head cut off screwed up his extra powers so cant eye lazer, teleporting is screwy, arm swords get stuck while trying to use the bathroom so he rips them out, and lastly he's got a ass ugly face again so he sews together a costume and gets a job as a merc for hire. Done and done ^^
exactly . . . over time the adamantium bullets would likely get worked into the rest of the adamantium on/in the bones . . .
Indestructible metals only remain so until brought against something else composed of those same metals.
So years of wandering and fighting would cause the bones to slowly work the bullets' metal into their own.
In theory.

The teleporting I can forgive. Deadpool has a teleporter and abuses the crap out of it. The healing factor is an intrinsic part of him, but having a sword CONNECTED to your fist kinda ruins the usefulness of it, they were longer than his forearms (explain that Batman!), and.. well, EYELAZORS!
Yah the lasers, and fist swords sucked....
But I didn't care to much for the teleporting power ether...
But while having a malfunctioning teleporter is more fun... it don't make such a menacing ultra evil bad guy killing machine
I think they just did all those changes to make him seam more ominous and nasty.
But you think they could have talked to a few deadpool fans before doing that.

ya, and how did Wolverine stop the blasts w his claws, and why did Cyclops have to yell when he did his eye last, and if that one girl could make her body into diamonds, could she not have just punched her way out of those cages, i mean diamonds are the hardest thing known to man. That movie just had to many plot holes in it for me to enjoy to to much, and i payed 9$ bucks to see it, its a afternoon cheap movie at best IMO!
This is why I'm not seeing the movie in theaters. I know he's not the main character and that there is only 10 minutes of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, but who thought he would be a good villian to suddenly transform into a mouth shut (That right there, goes against everything Deadpool), Baraka from Mortal Combat, Cyclops clone wannabe drone of Stryker? It's just plain idiotic.
Actually, if you think about it, that ending with him is the PERFECT way to introduce him in his own film. They can totally review his eyebeam ginormous-sword scene, then have it halt with the scratchy record sound effect and have him say, "What the hell is this?! This didn't happen to me! Little yellow boxes, let's show 'em how I REALLY got my start." Then the Deadpool movie starts. :D
Essentially, Deadpool is a mercenary. He's a very, very good mercenary, and can have shooting battles with the best of 'em, or fisticuffs with the meanest of them, and hold his own. His sole power is a healing factor, just like Wolverine, which he got from the same Weapon X program that made Wolverine (which he agreed to because he'd gotten cancer and was offered a cure), but got horribly scarred in the process. And then...
Aww to hell with it, here's a wiki.

Aubrin, side note, I'm currently listening to episode 51 of 2 Sense, during your era as the primary co-host. 2nd Season, I think. This is my third time listening to every episode of 2 Sense. XD Anyway, I think I'm going to agree that what they did with Deadpool was... pretty outragous. I LOVED the film, but even Deadpool having Scott's lasers didn't really ruin the film for me at all. Didn't really screw me over either. It was a shocker, definitely, but... not enough to ruin the film. That's just me, though.
Personally, I could have taken the swords and the eyelazers and teleporty if the man could friggin' *talk*. He's the merc with the mouth, everything else is window dressing.
Because, really, how has weird shit like getting cyclops's eyes and shooting eye lazers been something you'd be shocked to see in a deadpool comic. as long as he has bizarre fourth-wall breaking commentary about it, its all good.
Hell, in the comics themselves, the man recently gained the ability to teleport, thank to stealing it from Norman Osbourne.

DANNY HUSTON:
"Hello Hugh. As you can see, I’ve sealed Ryan Reynolds’s mouth shut."
HUGH JACKMAN:
"You took a character nicknamed “The Merc with a Mouth” and sealed said mouth shut? That’s like making a Spiderman movie where he can’t shoot web. Or a Fantastic Four movie that doesn’t suck."

um, I think the reason why he had laser beams was because his whole purpose was to have a whole bunch of the mutant powers that were collected, and Scott (Cyclops) was one of them. Deadpool apparently somehow was about to control it, unlike Cyclops. So..it's not really laserbeams..it's whatever Cyclops has but controlled biologically. The swords is what I disliked most, as, like you said, they were bigger than his forearms, and that the would be very weird to use like that. The teleportation power is well known for deadpool, and apparently it was taken by the guy that was teleporting fighting Sabertooth. And i think his gun abilities are from Zero, i think his name was. and of course the healing from wolverine. I don't think deadpool had cyclops' ability in the comics and such, but i can see why they added it.
The problem is, that's not where Deadpool got any of his cool tricks. He's just a major badass with a healing factor. The only crossover point between he and Logan is that he's another Weapon X project, his healing factor was artificially induced. His teleporter was a stolen gadget. They totally threw out the cancer aspect of his origin, which is important because it makes a connection as to WHY he's a psychopath. As portraid, he's just an egomaniacle loudmouth with his mouth sewn shut.
aaah, hehehe, I see. well, I guess i was just getting the movie people's view across. I do wish they'd be more respectful of the original story though. But then again, all the different generations of comics have different storylines anyway. (just look at how many different versions of spider-man there are!) Stan Lee didn't disapprove of what they did, i guess they figured that the fans wouldn't either. Tho then again, maybe he just grinned and bared it...*shrug* who knows.
