Next Class?

A very nice article.

Oh and for those who are wanting a Deadpool film, this guy portrays him wonderfully.

Yes! I have this Favorited and keep an eye on it regularly, I love the goofy little segments that he makes both with Deadpool and with the other characters he uses.

I love the Wolverine cameo so much its just "Hi,fuck you, bye" it was just hilarious.

Kevin Bacon as the Doctor and as the Leader of the Hellfire club was superb I haven't seen him do anything as enjoyable since he was in tremors quite frankly, charming but a huge dick at the same time.

I do have issue with the fact the Henchmen are never really fleshed out at all, Azazel at least talks but tornado dude, who the hell is he anyway? he isn't ever referred to by name that I remember(I just saw it yesterday so its still fresh)

Finally to the few people who say Charles and Erik barely knew each other long enough to build such a strongly emphasized friendship, did you not pay attention when 1.) Charles saves Erik's life when they meet. and 2.) gives him a sliver of joy in an otherwise tortured mind.
to someone who has had everything taken from him over and over again, to be given such profound gifts as friendship and peace of mind by a kindred spirit(since they both are mutants)and total stranger for no price or ulterior motive

As much as I love Deadpool I would be cautious about how to do a movie. He is a funny character yes, but his most defining feature of breaking the 4th wall is just a difficult thing to write for. Hell, I can only think of a handful of movies and TV shows that have attempted it and fewer that have done it successfully. He worked well in Wolverine just because he was the comic relief....for 5 minutes. I could be happy with him being the comic relief again. I am curious how they would market a Deadpool movie too.

Yeah, I thought that too. I'm worried about a Deadpool movie in terms of what I agreed with in Bob's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides review. Yeah, that minor character (Jack Sparrow) becomes a favorite of the fans, and it seems like a great idea to make him the star of his own thing. But is it a good idea to have that character carry the movie?

Or is it better to keep Deadpool a minor, or at most a major secondary character, so he's free to do what he does best (fourth wall breaking, generally being zany and unpredictable as all hell), while letting another main character do the stuff that would be out of character for him but necessary to the story/plot (being noble, having the romance, saving the world, blah, blah, blah)?

I mean, most superhero movies seem to be about saving the world, or at least averting some huge disaster. Granted, I'm probably not as familiar with Deadpool as some of you guys, but in my mind, unless you can think of a really good reason to get him to save the world, a giant meteor or whatever set to blow up the earth would probably just make him go "Awesome! Who's for an end of the world BBQ? We don't even need matches! I'll bring the hot dogs!"

I wish I could have phrased all that a bit more eloquently but yeah. I sort of feel like I may be just talking out of my ass. I'm not saying a Deadpool movie is impossible, but they're going to need some incredibly talented people who really know what they're doing to craft it.

That's actually one of the most convincing arguments I've ever heard for having a Cable and Deadpool movie. Cable is the ultimate straight man to Deadpool's zani-ness.

OK, I have to take randomfox's side here. For one, you can't stop this kind of thing from happening when you have different writers and different filmmakers work around the same continuity. Some "glitches" simply are going to occur.
As for the legs, I believe that in the comic books Xavier lost the use of his legs when a rock was dropped on them. So there. How's that for continuity?
And I also remember that he once got the use of his legs back when he was infected with the Legacy Virus (ironic if you think about the first syllable in "Legacy") and he was able to walk again. So since he can theoretically get the use of his legs back whenever the continuity demands it.
But let's face it. The it doesn't really matter what the cause is for Xavier having to be in a wheelchair. What matters is that he is in a wheelchair, because it's just a part of the metaphore for the mind over matter ideology which Xavier represents.

Actually if you put it in consideration the first movie also has a contradict. In X-Men Profesor X doesn't know how magneto is avoiding his mind powers. In first Class he knows that the helmet avoids this. Also can somebody explain to me why the helmet stops the powers, its never explaind.

Also I wanted to say that while Rattner didn't do that good of a job with X3, its an okay movie. I mean I would say the writers fucked it up more (the writers of X2 went to Superman Returns). So yeah X3 wasn't good but I think its really hated too much by comic fans. Plus Fox was rushing the movie out the door (thats a reason why the guy that Ratner replaced left). What I say is that I don't hate that movie like everyone else and if it was in other hands the basic story could work.
