So I recently saw Deadpool vs Wolferine. I was just in the mall, buying shoes, and the thing is, size 15s are VERY hard to find in person. But I insist on doing things in person. So I expected to have to go to a shitload of stores. DXL is my usual source, but their selection was just atrocious, so the next week I decided to make a day of it. Literally the first store I walked into had shoes in my size. What I expected to be a 6 hour soul sucking time actually took 15 minutes. As I walk out of the shoe store, there's a theater in the mall.
Innitially I was just going to buy some popcorn, because I wanted some theater style popcorn. Then I saw Wolferine vs Deadpool was playing. Didn't even know that was a thing. I figured "Hell, I got free time. I don't have any shoes to buy. My whole day is free. Fuck it, lets see this thing."
Here's what's important to note here. I never saw any of the X-Men movies. I never saw any of the deadpool movies. I never saw any of the movies that would be considered important to see before this one. So for me, a LOT of the references, and cameos, and whatnot all went right over my head. I later learned the guy they got to play Gambit in the movie was actually a really big deal. I was just like "Hey, cool, it's Gambit."
So now, you saying that Wolferine first appeared in The Hulk comics makes me wonder if that brief moment they showed Wolferine fighting The Hulk was a nod to that, or if the flashback really was a flashback to something from a previous movie.
Personally I wish Deadpool had picked the 5'3 Wolferine. I'm pretty sure that's what he's supposed to actually be anyways in the comics. If we're going to have a non-canon wolferine, and if the actor is ACTUALLY 5'3, that just seems like a win-win for everyone involved.
Also, did Wolferine SERIOUSLY never wear a superhero costume before THIS movie??? Isn't there like 4 X-Men movies, and then like 5 more Wolferine solo movies??? And he NEVER wore a yellow/blue superhero costume until the final battle of THIS movie. And it's not even the "real" wolferine. SERIOUSLY???? HOW??? JUST HOW????
Also, what the hell was the head agency doing allowing a guy to build an existance destroying machine, and they didn't even KNOW??? And then they come in at the end like "Ok, what happened here?" I'm in the theater thinking "YOU NOT DOING YOUR JOB, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED HERE!!!" They're supposed to oversee all the different existence agencies to make sure everything goes swimmingly, and they just trust some guy on his word, and leave him unsupervised indefinately until they come a wisker away from ending all existances everywhere??? Oh NOW you want to walk in, and act like you run the show? Pssshhhhh!!! I work at an airport, and I get my badge checked dozens of times a day to make sure I belong wherever I am. And all I do is push people in wheelchairs! You expect me to believe this agency is tasked with ensuring the safety of the very concept of existence, and they're just like "Yeah, we'll check in on you......never."
Sorry. I'm ranting. It's just I saw that movie last weekend, and I don't know anyone who cares about anything super hero related. I have a casual interest, but you know how it is when you walk out of a movie. First thing you want to do is talk about it. Well, I haven't been able to for about 10 days now. So this is like the pressure in the kettle coming out.
Whew. Ok. Rant over. You just reminded me of a brief 10 second shot from a movie, and all THAT came out. Yes. It was a lot. Sorry.
