    Also didn't comics captain cold get a longish face turn at some point? I hope the show does that to spice things up a couple seasons on

    Perhaps
    it could be that Earth-2 Mayor Snart is actually Citizen Cold

    It's based off of ComicBook.com comissioning fan art of their fan casting for the character.

    Deadpool was amazing. I had a great time. I don't know if it's a great movie, or a great adaptation of a comic, but it feels like they perfectly captured 'Deadpool as a movie' in a way that is hard to explain. Definitely something I would watch again.

    I jokenly suggested James Mardsen as Cable, but the idea has kinds grown on me.

    Get him really jacked up physically and dye his hair silver.

    His recent Car commercials left me with the impression that he can play the straight man to wades crazyness.

    I got nothing for you now. Try again later.

    I was going to look for that guy from Terra Nova/Avatar, found out his name was Stephen Lang, and the image search autocompleted to 'Stephen Lang Cable'.

    There's like twenty of those.

    I saw Deadpool tonight. Yah, it was crude, but it was the kind of crude I would expect from a Rated R Deadpool movie, so I was ok rolling with it. The references and gags had me and my friends rolling. It was a bit origin-y, but I think it needed to be done for folks who were coming in blind. I must say I never expected a Superhero Rom-Com to work out so well.
    The references to other X-Men and their movies, as well the jab at not being able to afford more X-Men at mansion, were just fucking beautiful. The fact they worked in Blind Al and also Bob was icing on the cake.

    Not nearly. There are a few moments that are like that, like the joke about going to see the guy in the suit to advance the plot, but for the most part it is not nearly Airplane! level or even Austin Powers! level of satire.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    Just got back from Deadpool

    For those worried about the type of humor, the you should know that the trailer contains the crudest jokes

    It's not like Way's run, and actually has a pretty good emotional through-current
    So just back from Deadpool, I was worried about some of the jokes being to crude but nope it was really fun great movie.

    So question to others who have seen it in regards to the local at the end
    Was that a fucking decommissioned helicarrier !

    that's what it looked like to me

    i liked that the movie just didn't call any attention to it

    I'm pretty sure they put juuuuuuuust enough plausible deniability in there to get away with it

    Lego Dimensions actually did the same thing

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    It's not really satire at all.

    It's just very goofy and stupid and extremely self aware.

    I think I'm dropping Avengers Academy. Everything just costs way too many in-game credits and their solution to that is apparently to introduce Credit Vaults, which you buy with premium currency, and which then spits money out for a limited amount of time. But you can also just buy in-game credits straight up with premium currency, so this is just a way to buy in-game credits and not receive them all at once.

    It's becoming a bit too obvious that I'm considered a potential money spigot more than a player.

    I'm level 15 and I've been getting a decent amount of credits; enough to recruit Cap, level up Wasp, upgrade Pym's lab, and buy the Asgardian forge all in one day.

    But the timers are getting longer and longer (buildings taking 13 hours, multiple "missions" that are 8+ hours) and the character upgrades are requiring more and more random shit (text books, party hats, etc) that take forever to obtain because the missions only give one or two of each. Maybe four, if you're "lucky", with an 8 hour mission.

    I don't understand the appeal of a game you don't actually play. Just clicking a few things and then waiting for a timer to count down isn't fun to me.

    It's conditioning. You get a treat and get more for being diligent. It doesnt matter that the treat is a picture on a phone that's worth nothing you got to see Spider-man and that funny tree from the space movie

    Deadpool is tracking to make all of the money this weekend. (130 million)
    In terms of comic book openings, Deadpool looks to share rarefied air and place No. 8 behind the two The Avengers movies, Iron Man 3, the last two Dark Knight films, Spider-Man 3 and Iron Man 2. Those it stands to beat include Man of Steel, Spider-Man, X-Men: The Last Stand, Iron Man, Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

    It would be the highest grossing opening weekend for an R rated flick.

    It also has a budget much lower than any of those other movies I think. Good for Reynolds.

    Some pro-football player who is apparently a Power Rangers mega-fan has been tweeting that he was specifically told that "if you wanted bright blue and yellow costumes, the new movie wouldn't be for you". Also "think [the new] Robocop".

    I don't know if this means they are going dark and edgy up Power Rangers as much as - oh say - Man of Steel, but that sounds like it could be worrisome for fans? (If said football guy is to be believed)

    Edit found them

    He is 43.

    I was wondering that
    In 1975 he seems to be maybe 7 years old... Which would make Captain Cold 48

    And no way does he look 48.

    Disagreeeeeee
    MPQ still has actual gameplay via fun match-3 with some strategy and some really neat mechanical designs for a lot of characters. (Vision with his density switching abilities affecting his attack power, Squirrel Girl is good against high-health enemies, Cap's powers leave behind countdowns to "catch the shield" and refund the AP spent to use them, etc.) Everyone in AA "plays" exactly the same outside of looks and dialog (those designs and dialog are pretty good though)

    EDIT: I may be a little biased, I probably have about 100+ hours in the original Puzzle Quest for DS lol

    I guess you could say he's well preserved.

    This news of Deadpool doing well really makes me happy, because I am so thrilled to have an R-rated superhero film... It was so refreshing...

    Also, my favorite joke maybe wasn't one that made the whole theater split a rib but I just enjoyed it so much:
    “Stewart or McAvoy? I can never keep track of these alternate timelines.”

    I don't think it'll throw that dark, but it sounds like I'd expect muted costumes (comparatively).
