I actually really liked Domino in the movie. Though I do still wish the makeup team had tried harder than "not at all" to make her look more like her comic counterpart. Like, she didn't have to be chalk-white, but the spot around her eye could have stood out more.
Also, kind of weird that movie!Yukio is nothing like comic!Yukio. Doesn't look like her, doesn't act like her, doesn't have electric powers in the comics. Plus, we already saw her in "The Wolverine". Just feels like they could have picked almost any other mutant to be NTW's girlfriend. Minor nitpick.

I literally think Yukio was picked just because it's the cutest name to say.
Maybe they could have picked Sunfire's sister Mariko.

I did not see a Stan Lee cameo. Am I blind? Confirm or deny. I did not see a Stan Lee cameo. Am I blind? Confirm or deny. No, there was no Stan Lee cameo. They had a couple pictures of him in the background during the movie, I believe. I did not see a Stan Lee cameo. Am I blind? Confirm or deny. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}There's a graffiti mural of him visable when Domino falls into the panda I read that the bust Deadpool knocked over in the X-Mansion was of Stan.

Saw it on Saturday and entire audience cheered when Julian Dennison first appeared. When I saw it, I took a closer look and the moment he talked, I was like, "That's the boy from 'The Hunt for the Wilder People'!"

I'm sure others have already pointed it out, but I really liked how the X-Force team was comprised of members from all the very different eras of the team, from the early Liefeld days (Domino/Shatterstar) to the end of the run circa John Francis Moore and Warren Ellis (Bedlam), from the Mike Allred/X-Statix era (Zeitgeist) and the current era black ops team (Vanisher).

Yeah they brought in jobbers from various eras, haha. The parachuting scene was probably the hardest I've laughed in a long time. {Spoiler} I dunno, that first 10 minutes kind of soured me on the film. Especially when they Bond style wacky credits started and they flippantly made fun of Vanessa's death with stuff like "Did they really just kill her???" It's odd that Deadpool riffed about the darkness of the DC Universe when this film was actually pretty dark and upsetting at times.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}I did like how the cameos of Xavier and the X-Men are kinda out of continuity, unless we're expected to believe that none of them have aged since we last saw them in the mid-'80s.

I'm seeing this tonight, and re-watched the first Deadpool last night in preparation after having not liked it that much the first time around. What a shock; without the ridiculous hyperbolic praise about it being some subversive, genre-redefining masterpiece, the first Deadpool is actually pretty enjoyable as a funny and gory comic book movie. Just gotta' keep my expectations tempered.

Though having said that, I just got back from the theater and looooved Deadpool 2. Legit the funniest movie I've seen in quite a while.

Just got home from seeing it, thought it was amazing. The cheeky James Bond-style opening credits gag felt a little too soon after Vanessa's death, but everything else was just about perfect. Serious when it needed to be serious, funny when it needed to be funny (and SO F***ING FUNNY at that). Domino was awesome, Cable was awesome. Two thumbs way, way up.

Really enjoyed it. I might have liked it more than the first one. Not a lot of movies can make me laugh like that on a pretty consistent basis. It's even more impressive when the movie can touch my charred black pebble of a heart on top of that. What I also really appreciate is that the movie can mock other franchises and not come off as mean spirited due to how it also mocks itself in the almost same manner.
The parachute scene was magic, and the Green Lantern post credit scene was so poignantly brutal.

As a huge fan of the Milligan/Allred X-Force, I was so happy to see Zeitgeist on the team for a minute and the fate of the team seeming to be a big nod to the first issue of that run. Hoping U-Go Girl makes it into the X-Force film next time.

For some reason the movie is this week's Nostalgia Critic. I'm not going to watch it but what on earth is the purpose of doing a clipless review of a comedy? A good comedy, at that?

Am I the only one that thought the Domino actress sucked? yes.

Am I the only one that thought the Domino actress sucked? yes. I've never even heard of her before and I thought she was an excellent foil to Reynolds. More Negasonic would've been better for me, but Domino was more than adequate compensation.
