So, Deadpool promo goes girlpower with a rape culture joke

[JollyMisanthropeParticipant 3356]

Deadpool looks like a s~~~ character to begin with.

Never been all that interested in Marvel or DC comics outside of characters like Wolverine and the Punisher.

The Children of Doom... Doom's Children. They told my lord the way to the Mountain of Power. They told him to throw down his sword and return to the Earth... Ha! Time enough for the Earth in the grave.

That is the point. Deadpool starts out as the worst of the worst. And he slowly climbs his way to the top to being a hero. And it is not an easy climb.

They even made fun of how bad Deadpool looks.

The only thing Dead Pool means to me is Dirty Harry 5.

You do realize that a woman’s purse could be classified as a biohazard containment bag.

So that idea is a, no go.

Yeah, they could be carrying any number of snatch accessories in there – like one of those p~~~ apparatuses.

The cinema charges too much. Make sure they dont decide you might be a cammer and inspect your bag.

well, at least I can think of 1 thing women are actually useful, to smugle food in their purse when you go to the movie theater, and you can go with your sister/mom/friend, I still can go with my mom since she’s still looks like a young girl, i’m 24 btw.

So if you don’t mind, voy a hacerme unas chimichangas

Wait, is that a chimchanga? It looks more like a taco to me.

Colossus is a Jobber, see him as the white knight of the Xmen universe.

They seem to have nailed Dead Pool, actually, and lots of 4th wall jokes too.

My only gripe about this movie, how they play up his GF, who seemingly leaves him, and then he somehow wants to save her, even though he’s Dead Pool at that point, when he should really not care much, he’s a hyper mental lunatic, at that point, and could easily pose as a villain at times.

The other troubling part here, would be who they are going to cast as Cable, and how they will play him up, since he’s a major character in the Dead Pool franchise.

No doubt the feminist c~~~ clowns will be whining about him, and demand him not to be a straight white guy.

Yeah. The last time I decided to buy something at theaters other than a movie ticket, I thought it was nachos. I was wrong.

It was a bag of nacho chips and just a deal of melted cheese. FOR 10 F~~~ING DOLLARS. I still bought it anyways, but I’m never doing that again. At least put some damn meat in with it.

I never buy anything accept popcorn, which is expensive enough. Don’t put your money in any vending machines either. I didn’t immediately realize they wanted $4.00 for something that is $2.50 in most other places. Oh whadda ya know the money return doesn’t work…

I think, considering the movie is R-Rated, and pushing the envelope on the violence side, and language, they are likely going to tone down some of the extreme sides of Deadpool. And the likely hang on the whole, save the woman trope, as a way to introduce Deadpool.

I taker the whole Colossus to be a joke. Deadpool is meant to be funny. You see a bug strong mutant like Colossus and think he is going to take her down with ease, but all of a sudden he gets thrown across the ship yard. It is really no different then in Justice League War when Green Lantern says “Peep the Light show I got this”, lunges at Darkseid, gets smacked into a building, and the 2 Parademons come down and start punching him.

I see the joke as meaning, I feel sorry for the guy that takes her to the prom, because he likely don’t know what he is getting into.

Keep in mind that Deadpool said this right after she slam another woman, whom had just knocked Colossus across the yard, into a wall.

And I would not be surprised that Deadpool was thinking along the line. Okay. This girl is a lot more dangerous than I thought.

This right here. We all know the sterotype of having to have sex on prom night and Deadpool was just making a joke about how any guy that pressures her before she is ready is going to be sorry.

I want another Punisher movie that is as brutal as War Zone was. I love that movie.

I remember when I was a kid, me and my friends thought that taking food into the theater would get you thrown in jail if you got caught.

I watched a video by a guy that has been part of the industry for years and knows a lot where studio finances are concerned. Theaters make most of their money off food and beverage sales and not tickets to the actual movie.

Yes. I worked in movie theatres in HS and the concessions is exactly where they get their profits. It’s not from the ticket sales, that goes to the movie studios. It is not the same as going to a sports event where you are asked to pay $50 tickets and then $9 beers. That said, most movies are not worth paying for on the big screen, and I only buy concessions for my kids.

As for the rape culture joke, I never saw it from that angle. It’s a cliché. It seems a stretch to think that all men will pressure their dates into sex on prom. There is also a difference between applying pressure and actually rape. Big difference. And in reality, I think women will apply pressure on men to have sex with them as much as men do.

As far as girl power goes with having strong women, it does look like the women who hits colossus does actually appear to be strong. And the other girl’s (teenager) strength doesn’t come from physical strength. It should also be pointed out that the make fun of how the teenager is playing on her phone while she should be engaging on what’s going on around her.

And sure, the premise is that he’s out to save the princess. That is white knightish for sure, but I really don’t want to poo poo that much on rescuing someone you care about. Whether she deserves that is a different question.

Ok. Then do it.
