Holy crap! I was excited before this trailer, now I'm beyond stoked. Seeing it both next Thursday and Friday. I'll be sure to post everything about it here so you know if you want to see it or not. 😏 😆
Man... I entered the drawing for the special panel at SDCC next Thursday but I did not get randomly selected. Two of my buddies did - but we have a group of 6 guys, and only one of them requested two seats (the other didn't realize you could ask for a plus one) - so half get to go and half will miss it. Oh well. Will be stoked to see it though.
I am only mildly fond of the Deadpool stuff*, but that really looks good and glad they saved the serious trailer for the end. Wolverine initially in the comics had a little of that pathos, that sense he felt alone as much as he wanted to be alone, so I love a "you can be the hero" arc for him. In Logan we know that he knew he was a hero that is just worn down - and he was choosing to put that behind him - but here if he doesn't believe in himself? Interesting.
And yay X-23!!!
*It's really good of course but I wish they kept it PG-13, not for my sensibilities, but I like the idea that superheroes are for kids, especially those that appear in comics sold to kids. I feel for the 11 and 12 year-olds who love the Marvel films, X-Men, Loki, etc. and may not be allowed to see this by their parents, which for standalone is fine but this is potentially a key chapter in the current MCU book.

Yeah - the original Deadpool movies were tough because my son was young, but he LOVED Deadpool from glimpses in cartoons and a few (age appropriate) comic books he had seen. But there was no way I was letting him near that first movie. I was actually really pleased when they released that PG-13 edit of Deadpool 2 with the Fred Savage narrative bumpers so he could watch that because he loved it.
He's 15 now, so I'm going to let him watch this one - but I totally get what you're saying. It would be a bummer if he was 9 or 10 and I couldn't let him see this.
This was a fun movie! Really can't say much more than that right now.
Is that a plot point? Does it lead directly into Secret Wars?

Well, I immediately spun it in my head with how that could work. Obviously I went straight to secret wars. I get it though, I'm just not worried about spoiling plot so much. Joke spoilers are the only problem for me as someone teling me will never be as funny as in the movie.

SpoilerQuestionBased on the reviews, my sense is that this is more the coda providing clarity that the Fox-verse is being put aside, not merged into the MCU - so any future mutants will be coming from a different timeline, probably the one Monica ended up in? Meaning this is not that essential for the MCU main storyline. Could also be the last time we see this Deadpool, maybe the next Deadpool (still possibly Reynolds) will be more PG-13 and less 4th Wall?
Spoilerall the characters in the movie don't end up in the main MCU reality yet though, right? I know Deadpool is there briefly but I imagine they aren't smashed together until Secret Wars, and by the end of that they could have any version of Wolverine from other realities.
