The one small corner of the marvel-verse still worth our attention?  Or more over the hill,  flogged to death and then some, super hero rubbish?

Absolutely in for this! There are so many Easter eggs buried in the trailer it’s going to take repeated views of the film to pick them out. And it hasn’t been Disneyfied, it’s R-Rated - love the poster too!

Fan service has utterly killed off any slight element of story telling, nuance or plot that these films may have convinced themselves that they were adapting from the source material. **** character arc when you can instead have the cover of "a particular" comic book blowing in wind, or the name of a writer as a store front name... More time and effort goes into making sure that fans will come to the movies* than making them into actual watchable product. Deadpool has become the American Pie of the marvel franchise, and those movies were better than most of the recent marvel movies

*when your marketing campaign relies on sad incels sat in their mum's spare room making YouTubes entitled "20 easter eggs you missed in Deadpool and Wolverine" 1. you know you've got them by the balls, and 2. You know you don't have to bother any more.

I wish I thought Deadpool was funny, but I don't. So it's a pass from me.

First movie, decent, second movie, really quite boring. This one looks like utter shite. They had the perfect movie to end Wolverine's arc, why ruin it?

Much as I might agree, I'm still hopeful it's as pant wetingly funny as the first one. The 2nd one was a letdown.

Well, gird your lions, this one's had extensive re-shoots already becasue it didn't go down well with test audiences. The Deadpool movie that Marvel executives want is the movie that goes to somewhere near where Deadpool comic book is, but doesn't actually upset anyone, because R rated in the US is the kiss of death.

Reynolds and Jackman are very good friends and apparently he's been begging Jackman for years to do it

I enjoyed the 2nd one as much as the 1st TBH. Looking forward to this, despite getting stalled with all the MCU content over the last few years.

Bringing back characters killed on screen at the end of their development arc, super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I'm assuming this is some kind of alternate version of Wolverine, different timeline blah blah blah, hence the 'classic' uniform from the comics. As a convenient plot device, the multiverse stuff is getting a bit dull now.

<cough> The sets look GREAT though!

“No superheroes, no children’s book adaptations”. That’s my cinema-going motto. There have been few exceptions.

It never ceases to amaze me how grown adults will see a thread title, think "that's not for me," then deliberately open the thread to state how much they dislike it and declare an air of superiority over those who do.

It looks like silly fun.  I like silly fun.  And even if the movie does blow goats you've got screen time with two actors who are perfect for their characters.

Wot Cougar sed! 👆🏻

I haven’t seen any Marvel movies for at least five years possibly more, but I will make an exception for this. I like the dark humour in it, and tbh I could do with a laugh.

One in-joke that’s been spotted is a wrecked shop behind our heroes. It’s called Leifelds ‘Just Feet’. Rob Leifeld is one of the creators of the original Deadpool comic, and has a fan reputation for being completely unable to draw characters feet.

It’s things like that, that I find highly satisfying and amusing.

I'm a proper comic book nerd. I've been reading comics since I was 5 and living in Hong Kong and the latest Casper the Ghost was the height of my week, so your assumption's wide of the mark. I also hate with a passion the type of lazy assed primary-coloured movie making that Marvel churn out; because Fans.

I get the "Shhh, let them have their fun", opinion but I'm also an adult, I'd like to see the grown up, morally ambiguous environment that the comics are actually increasingly placing these characters in in a way that film daren't becasue of their dread of the R rating. Deadpool has ceased to be anything like the comic and is now nothing more than a replacement American Pie franchise complete with tits and arse jokes. I understand that movie execs are never ever going to exchange integrity for money, but likewise, that won't stop me from exercising my right (as a long term fan of the genre) to voice my disappointment at what they're doing to my world.

Looks very stretched and mismatched.

Loads of swearing just isn't that funny these days.  But it's only a trailer.

I'm not a "proper comic book nerd" like nickc but I was introduced to all these characters in the 90's by an older cousin who got me into X-Men and all the related titles. So I was reading the comics many years before the Marvel/Disney production line fired up.

As much as I loved them at the time I can't really stretch to watching Ryan Reynolds playing himself (as always) while winking, nudging and gooning for the camera. There's just no connection between the two for me.

Here’s one little Deadpool factoid - in Deadpool 2, Wade wears a teeshirt with two cats on the front, and ‘Olivia & Meredith, Best Friends Purrever written around the picture. They’re Taylor Swift’s cats!

You could just not watch it?  Your "world" still exists, decades of media hasn't just been thrown out.  The MCU is a thing in its own right.

Gatekeeping is an absolute blight on fandom.  Let people enjoy things, indeed.

Nothing wrong with expecting better and being critical of poor quality media. Or you could provide is a list of things approved for criticism?

If I was actually gate-keeping, you might have had a point, but as I'm not, you don't really. Feel free to skip over my criticism of these movies, I've not tried to say 'don't go' I'm just saying they're a bit shit  Given that they're already having to do re-shoots because even the Deadpool-Lite version they'd made and wanted to release was still too rude for middle America...I reckon I'm not far off the mark.

Let people enjoy things, indeed.

Has any-one actually enjoyed any of the more recent Marvel releases on either telly of cinema?

😁  How about: All the people saying that Wolverine got a good send off in Logan are missing that the comic on which it's based - Old Man Logan, is set in an alternative universe. They don't have to resurrect him for this.

Of course.  Is it poor quality?  I disagree.

I'm not objecting to criticism.  I'm objecting to wading into a conversation going I HATE THIS IT'S ALL SHIT!!!1!  Well, **** off and find something you enjoy instead, then.

Maybe I'm salty about this, but I've seen children cosplaying being berated by grown ass adults and driven to tears because they weren't "real fans."  It breaks Wheaton's Law and it needs to die in a fire, fandom should not be competitive.  It's toxic.

I remember enjoying bits of The Marvels and Quantumania. However, I'm struggling to remember anything about them plot-wise aside from the main cast members.

GotG3 was really good..

Didn't bother with Wakanda Forever.

Thor: Love and Thunder was absolute bobbins from start to finish.

Multiverse of Madness was OK, but felt a bit too much of a change in tone and character from Wandavision.

Yip.

I hate cricket. Utterly awful. Can't understand why anyone likes it. I've never once clicked on an obvious cricket thread on here and if I do stumble upon one by accident, I don't comment on it.

The latest movie isn't out yet.

I would assume that plenty of people have, or they wouldn't have made 30-odd films and who knows how many series.

Old Man Logan, is set in an alternative universe. They don’t have to resurrect him for this.

But they can. So... /shrug why not?

You're a self-proclaimed "proper comic book nerd." This. Happens. All. The. Time in comic books. How many times has Batman died, Superman, how many Spider-Men have there been? Who's Dick Grayson playing this week? If you're going to worry about continuity then man did you ever pick the wrong genre, Red Dwarf is more consistent than DC/Marvel's print output.

I liked  and still enjoy some of the older marvel films,  the x-men stuff mainly, including all the wolverine and logan films.  I enjoyed some of the iron-man films but the more mcu/avengers they got....nah.  The first deadpool was different,  sideachingly funny in places, even for non deep fans.... so long as you switch off and enjoy Ryan reynolds being himself.   The second....if I'm remembering right I was crying with laughter through a whole scene while he grew new legs but it was a guilty pleasure judging by the looks I was getting from my wife... mostly the film seemed poor though.   I hope this one has some of those funny moments.
