    If Deadpool tries to say fuck in a Spider-Man movie, it should immediately cut to the credits. That's their thing.
    Have it happen in act 2, and make the entire last act the post-credits scene.

    Nobody remembers the singer. The song remains.

    Deadpool breaking the fourth wall is going to be difficult to make work without killing someone else’s movie stone dead.

    I imagine the best way to do this would be the first time Deadpool starts talking to the audience you immediately cut to the point of view of another character who sees him just talking to thin air and just assumes he’s crazy.

    I was thinking something similar. In not Deadpool movies his witty asides don't play to the camera, they are told to a random direction that is not the camera. Things don't stop to let them play. People just think he's weird as fuck/ignore him.

    I'd have to see a scene shot this way to tell if it works. It is exactly the sort of thing that conceptually works but may not play in actual film. The real trick is going to be making it look like you're not giving him focus while still making his actions/dialogue clear to the audience.

    'Pool and Peter could have a nice conversation about how Deadpool is from a different universe, right up until Peter starts to get that Deadpool isn't talking about the same thing he is. Then he does that look like when he was discussing Footloose with Quill.

    Make Deadpool’s one “fuck” be like that rom-com kiss trope, meaning as much as the couple tries to kiss, it doesn’t happen until the end because the plot keeps interrupting them. Have Deadpool almost say fuck throughout the movie, but it keeps getting cut off. By the end, he lampshades that since the movie is over, it’s time for his one Fu- whoops, guess it was interrupted.

    Then Deadpool gets frustrated and wanders off screen, followed by an exasperated “fuck it!”

    Fade to black.

    Even better, put the one fuck in the stinger after the credits for maximum troll.

    Yeah, seems like the ones with dates are movies and the ones with 'summer' or whatnot are shows.

    Yeah, the "What if" comics could offer up some tremendously soul-crushing and amusing scenarios.

    I think I had a "What if" issue of Magneto, Iron Man, Colossus, and Dr. Doom all riding in an elevator together, but it also had an extended sequence about Franklin Richards having to save the world from the life-sucking energy parasite from another dimension that "ate" the entire FF4... while posing as his baby sister and he spends the whole time telling adults it's her but nobody will believe him except Dr. Doom who comes to help him. The final shot is him standing in front of the portal he just blasted his not-sister through, with his entire family dead and him alone in the world.

    What the fuck, Marvel.

    But the flip side is the same issue ends with a story about the baby sister being born normally and she turns out to be a mutant who can heal people, and who ends up making the entire world a better place by dedicating her life to helping everyone.

    Not keen about Portman, but the movie title is fucking "Love and Thunder".

    I can be extremely happy with Portman coming back and getting to be awesome instead of a trailing annoying appendage, with a movie title like that. Maybe this time around they'll give her something to work with.

    Portman kinda got sold a false bill of goods.

    -Thor 1 - Superhero movie, but Anthony Hopkins and an acclaimed Shakespeare experienced director!

    -Thor 2 - Glad we signed you up right away, cause this one's hot dogshit!

    -Thor 3 - Oh sorry you bailed, this one's actually interesting and fun

    Like I can almost guaranteed she bailed before Taika Waititi got attached

    Yeah that Thor reveal is annoying me for a different reason:
    the Jane Foster Thor, whatever (the comic run ended on a dud though), it's that Portman is coming back when she clearly didn't want to be there when they were building the whole thing up, but now that it's a consistent billy per film franchise she wants to come back? Nah fam. Couldn't you have gotten like, Lily James?

    The only movie that really interests me so far is Shang Chi, and Eternals is just movie I do not care at all about.

    Also, I didn't realize it was Comic-Con weekend, that's a chop on me.

    Is this being streamed somewhere? I'm seeing Marvel announcing it on Facebook with everything else, mostly just a date, but I'm way behind and catching up as quickly as I can.

    Her role in the second movie was literally to be asleep the whole time man. They didnt make good use of an actor so she bailed for movies that would let her do stuff. No need to frame it like she did something wrong.
