Saw it a few days/weeks ago (2024 Oct, so 2 months since this OP). It's an alright film.

Several I personally noticed though:

spoiler

  • For their first-time appearances as characters, since it's the very first film they were presented, right from the get-go, you'd know who would be the final survivors or who would have the plot armor from the very start, Android Andy and Rain.

  • The actors themselves, I don't know, from they're first appearances there, you know they're not the same experienced actors of the previous films. It showed, it felt. Hence, the fear and fright a viewer should feel were not the same too. Seemingly, the trailer was a little more scary, honestly. I think such casting resulted to less "scary" than the previous films.

  • More reliance on the Android again, although not as much as the previous Prometheus and Covenant. The babying was made apparent too. Like unwittingly yet somehow seemingly there's much more, like the way she looked at him at times. And, a fully-functioning whole Android, and not even that supposed "found from the trash" poke was believable. She has such an Android when likely no commoners have one in their lifetime, surely such Android could be utilized for income or something, even plain water buffaloes are utilized for field work, transportation, heavy burden, etc. for centuries in rural even "far from civilization" places. I mean something, somehow that Android could have been utilized, no matter the attempt of the film to portray it as not as very useful or frail, which was not really believable. Andy even had the out-of-the-blue robotic strength to hold open those heavy mechanical doors when no previous film androids were seemingly the same.

  • Final monster was not, um, not as overwhelming. No resemblance to the iconic Xenomorph aliens at all, hence reducing connection. It's somewhat like Edward Norton's Hulk who had no tiny semblance of his alter ego, hence the believability of the viewer to see him still as Norton's Banner but transformed to the Hulk was thoroughly reduced during his CGI Hulk scenes. Looking back, I think it was not the very suited decision to have it as the final design of the alien monster, since it somehow resulted to closer to a generic monster appearance.

  • Surprisingly, even though he was just the CGI/AI likeness of the late Ian Holm, Rook still, exhibited that he was the more experienced actor. Can't understand really. Rook was still scary. So kudos to them for capturing/recreating such.

  • So, not bad, just OK. But still, I can't rank it above the other last films no matter how divisive they were, they had their own charm and appeals.

Have you noticed? The "realistic" or "realism" AI results for man/woman have apparent big heads (mostly even huge) compared to their own bodies. It's like the camera is close to the face. Even the results in Google Search have such phenomena. The obvious ones are for Asian women. Why as such for perhaps even the different AI's, why the same pattern from them?

Try searching for such now, try something like: "realistic AI Asian woman", and you'll even see ones with actual HUGE heads, most especially the "realistic" ones. Different AI programs and yet the same huge head pattern from them?

Any actual AI users, could you please share your experience too? Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.

 

A deleted scene from the movie «Avengers: Endgame» shows an alternate ending for Tony Stark — wait, what?
Kateryna Danshyna 10-15-2024 at 14:55

"Did it work?", — Tony asks, and Morgan answers: "Yes, it worked for me, I can live and grow. As for you, — I can’t answer".

A deep and emotional scene that shows Tony’s realization of what he has done and the turmoil after his decision.

"I’m proud of you", Morgan tells him, and Tony adds."If you’re happy, I’m happy".

And to increase the degree of emotionality a bit more, Stark says that "loves her 3000", returning to their charming conversation shown earlier in the movie. The scene didn’t make it into the final 2019 version of the movie, and it appears that a number of Marvel fans have never seen it, judging by the comments

so they had other plans for what you could do with that kind of material and how you could put it out there and get the audience’s appetite warmed up for it

Hell yeah, I want that Tatum Gambit film or at least a duo or trio if not solo (eg. Gambit & the Externals). The MCU is multiverse after all, so any proper MCU X-Men would be untouched, still separate. They could even purposefully make that portal lead to one of the Wolverines' home worlds, like say that Age of Apocalypse's one, or the brown vs Hulk one, etc. So even an R-rated universe, not necessarily Deadpool's own. They have endless options to choose from. Multiverse yet still contained.

'Deadpool & Wolverine' Editor Details Why That Gambit Post-Credits Scene Didn't Make the Final Cut
By Ryan O'Rourke Published 20241014

Reid felt that putting the scene of Gambit's survival amid all of that would break up the rhythm of what was otherwise a perfect ending for the kind of film Deadpool & Wolverine is:

"A rhythm to the end credit sequence that we had [was] the Legacy reel [which] was a really important part of the process. It was something that we built, actually, while we were on strike, and that was a sentiment to come off the film with, and then it was from there, we knew that we had this really wonderful mic-drop-coda with Johnny Storm that was going to close the film out. I think the Gambit Sparkle Circle feels like a traditional Marvel coda, and I think what these guys were always trying to do was sort of subvert the audience's expectations in that sense."

Reid shared how everything came together to influence their final decision to leave the scene out, adding:

"So we had this wonderful piece and it was in at times and out. This is the brilliance of Ryan and his understanding of marketing and social media and how to use it, so they had other plans for what you could do with that kind of material and how you could put it out there and get the audience's appetite warmed up for it, but also leave the audience with a Deadpool movie that, through and through, feels like a Deadpool movie and ending it the way it did, just always felt right."

 

Ryan Reynolds reveals original ‘Deadpool 3’ ending that featured MAJOR X-Men death
by Web Desk October 15, 2024

I had Like A Prayer in my head for the 3rd Deadpool film since 2017,” he penned alongside a recording clip of Madonna’s song which plays during the Time Ripper sequence.

Reynolds went on to share, “Before Wolverine entered the chat, It was largely gonna be the same *single shot, motion-control sequence I’d dreamed of, but my dance partner was originally COLOSSUS — who would have died in the preceding scene, launching Deadpool into a state of pure rage and revenge… all set to @madonna’s inspired and singular song, Like A Prayer.”

Obviously, Hugh joining changed the destiny for everyone. (And Colossus, along with his virginity, stayed intact),” he added.

 

Sebastian Stan Says ‘If Marvel Was Gone’ It’d Leave a ‘Big Hole,’ Tells Off MCU Haters: ‘Don’t Just S— on Something Without Offering Something Better’
By Zack Sharf Oct 8, 2024 3:43pm PT

I’ve never been part of a company that puts so much heart and thought into anything,” Stan told the publication. “If Marvel was gone, it’d be such a big hole to try and fill up. Don’t just go out there and shit on something without offering something better.”

In an interview for a Variety cover story last month ...

It’s become really convenient to pick on [Marvel films],” Stan said. “And that’s fine. Everyone’s got an opinion. But they’re a big part of what contributes to this business and allows us to have smaller movies as well. This is an artery traveling through the system of this entire machinery that’s Hollywood. It feeds in so many more ways than people acknowledge.”

Sometimes I get protective of it because the intention is really fucking good,” Stan added at the time. “It’s just fucking hard to make a good movie over and over again.”

... and he hopes the character stays around long enough to meet Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom on the big screen.

I hope I’m in a scene with him,” Stan says. “Is there any other guy that could pull that off? I don’t know, probably not. After ‘Tropic Thunder,’ is there anything that guy can’t do?

 

Harrison Ford Says Avoiding Marvel Roles Is ‘Silly’ When MCU Films Provide ‘Good Experiences for an Audience,’ Calls the Death of Movie Stars ‘Rubbish’
By Zack Sharf Oct 14, 2024 2:50pm PT

I mean, this is the Marvel universe and I’m just there on a weekend pass. I’m a sailor new to this town,” Ford said about his MCU debut. “I understand the appeal of other kinds of films besides the kind we made in the ’80s and ’90s. I don’t have anything general to say about it. It’s the condition our condition is in, and things change and morph and go on. We’re silly if we sit around regretting the change and don’t participate. I’m participating in a new part of the business that, for me at least, I think is really producing some good experiences for an audience. I enjoy that.”

I don’t think the question is whether or not there are any movie stars. There’s wonderful actors coming up every day,” Ford told GQ. “Whether or not they become movie stars is really not the point. If movies need stars, they will find them. I’ve never fucking understood being a movie star. I’m an actor. I tell stories. I’m part of a group of people who work together, collaborate on telling stories. I’m an assistant storyteller. That’s what I am.”

Sounds like Rob Liefeld is not onionskinned and a chill guy. He's earning his royalties too.

The co-creator also freely admits he has a financial stake in Deadpool. Liefeld made deals when he first created the character that gives him royalties anytime the character is used anywhere: merchandise, video games, and yes, movies. “When Deadpool exploded onto Fortnite, was that really good for my kids’ private education? Yes. Yes, it was,” he said. “I have Deadpool revenue streams that have existed since 1991…I already get paid. If you make this movie [or not], I’m getting a fat check.”

Top 3 are all Deadpool films, for both domestic and global. It would be a tall order to surpass DP&W.

spoilerWell, since I joined I realized, seems like lots of Lemmy users in most Lemmy instances are quite unnecessarily sensitive to revealing get-up. It's like automatic for them. My previous posts from other Communities were downvoted (which simply messes the ranking) especially those I initially didn't NSFW'd, since I, myself thought they were not NSFW.

So with such small data, I compromised to just simply mark them as NSFW for both male and female. Hence such will be invisible to those who disabled NSFW. It's like the word "sexy" nowadays, years ago it was truthfully a fine compliment in comment sections (like in Flickr) when the big social media platforms were not prevalent yet.

OK, added "Jean Grey". I searched a bit and there were 2 other adopters of the "Marvel Girl" name: Valeria Richards and Rachel Summers, although I don't know who was second then third user. And so far I think Jean Grey was still as "Marvel Girl" with this green uniform before her eventual "Phoenix" to "Dark Phoenix" to plain "Jean Grey" names.

Looks like this deleted scene is at least after Deadpool headbutted paradox and escaped with his Tempad. So perhaps while Wade was shopping for the Logan variants, a live one.
