Kitty Hawk

....
never thought of her as Kitty Hawk before.

I enjoyed it. I know his origin wasn't the same as the comics, but then Dark Phoenix wasn't the same as the comics either. Heck, have the comics actually settled on his origin?

The sequence at the end of the credits really isn't worth waiting for. Although we've had complaints about the curtain coming down just as it finishes.

The sequence at the end of the credits really isn't worth waiting for.

According to imdb.com, there's the one scene midway through the credits and two different scenes after the credits, depending on which print your theater has. If you saw the one I did, I'm with you, I was a bit disappointed. But the other one described sounds much, much better (at least to me). I guess we'll have to go to another theater or wait for the DVD to see it.

I saw it. I liked it...I was entertained enough to look beyond the few things I saw picture wise...I do not know enough about X Men to be angry about character buidling.

I do have a few wonderings about Deadpool...but, can't spoil it.

Well, to be blunt, they quite butchered his origins to be honest.

Just so long as it's not as atrocious as X3 . . .

Nothing could be... surely? O_o

I might go and see Wolverine; hopefully I won't be clenching my fists and muttering, "It doesn't happen that way in the comics!" like I was during X3. XD

Let me just say for the people who don't know: Deadpool's entire draw in the comics was that he was the only character who would drop pop-culture references, bad puns, and slapstick/black humor on purpose, and he did it with great frequency, even when it was in poor taste or directed at people who would not respond well. The irreverent wisecracking Ryan Reynolds does as Deadpool in the opening few minutes is the thing fans liked most about him.

Now think about what they do to him toward the end and tell me that it was a smart move. I dare you. I f***ing dare you.

Oh you will.

But the intro scene is pretty good. You'll know what I mean when you see it.

[Lace Neil Singer]

I'll tell my boyf that I'll go if he buys the tickets, then at least I won't have spent money on it. XD He won't care; he's not a geek about it the way I am.

I don't have a problem with them being unfaithful to the source material so much as when their choices that steer away from the source actively make it worse.

Going through a convoluted origin story as it was explained in the comics over the last century? Bad. Summing it up and changing some stuff to make it easier to grasp and shoot for a 2 hour movie? Good. Doing what they did to Deadpool? BAAAAD.

However, I did find myself nerding out and getting angry with their effects people for not putting a ray between Scott's eyes and his glasses in the scenes where he wears them. The ruby quartz INTERCEPTS the beams, it doesn't STOP THEM FROM EXISTING.

Sorry for the bit of threadomancy, but I have been trying to see the other scene at the end of the credits. I keep seeing the one with Logan in a bar in Tokyo(?) talking to the waitress. Can anyone tell/PM me what the other one is? I'm kinda (sadly) desperate at this point.


God I have no life.

Check your PMs. And you do have a life because I have one, and I was also obsessing over seeing the other ending.

Thank you thank you thank you
