Damn I recognized Alan Tudyk but not Matt Damon!

Great movie! Very funny!

I will say though that some of the humor was forced at certain times and fell flat for me. Also I would have loved some background on Cable.

I actually loved The Juggernaut, but at the same time it was a head scratcher regarding him being in prison with his helmet on!

But when a movie is fun, you just sort of look over those things sometimes.

@JoeMomma29 - Maybe its tied to him in a certain way that it cannot be removed. Or they were scared to get close enough to try and take it off.

@smgmayhem - No Deadpool was getting if off, he stuck his sword and was twisting if off. After he threw DP, he twisted it back into place.

I was merely pointing out that Juggernauts big weakness is no helmet.....granted the GA does not know that.

@JoeMomma29 - The Juggernaut isn't a mutant, so he can't have his powers removed. You'll notice, he still had his powers, while he was in prison. The first time we get wind of him, the prison shakes, and then Deadpool makes the comment about foreshadowing. Juggernaut also didn't have a mutant collar. So, they must've been using some other sort of technology built into the cell in order to hold him.

Very funny movie, as good as the original. I laugh so hard last night.

As far as the end credits go and them being canon, this technically makes this the third FoX-Men timeline.

Especially considering that the scene from X-Men: Origins - Wolverine (which takes place in 1979) was erased from the timeline by the events of DOFP and that, in order to access this timeline, Deadpool would have first had to have gone back to sometime before DOFP in order to restore those events.

And if they include the baby Hitler scene in Leitch's extended version (which I think they should, since it's only done for comedic effect, not horrific effect), then even the events of X-Men: First Class and the beginnings of both X-Men: Origins - Wolverine and The Wolverine would be erased.

Here's a handy guide for those that are severely confused by all of these timelines...

First Timeline:

X-Men: First Class.
X-Men: Origins - Wolverine.
X-Men.
X2: X-Men United.
X-Men: The Last Stand.
The Wolverine.
X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Second Timeline:

X-Men: First Class.
X-Men: Days of Future Past.
X-Men: Apocalypse.
Deadpool.
Logan.
Deadpool 2.

Third Timeline:

X-Men: First Class.
X-Men: Origins - Wolverine (up until the scene when Barakapool makes his entrance).

Fourth Timeline:

Deleted baby Hitler scene.

@GwenLantern - Logan takes place in the first timeline thougj, since they make references to X-Men 1.

@GwenLantern - ....ugh....timeline?I just think it's suppose to be funny that's all....Xmen won't mention Deadpool in their movies so he doesn't exist in their timeline(just yet)!
GwenLantern
GwenLantern - 5/18/2018, 10:46 AM
@TruePunishment - Could just be a similar set of events. If it were the original timeline, then all the X-Men, including Professor X would have been killed by sentinels, already, as they were in DOFP.

@incredibleTalk - Just 'cause it's done for laughs and Deadpool is a self-aware fourth-wall breaker doesn't mean it's not canon.
Deadpool in the comics is also 616 canon.
They just play it free and easy, is all. I like it. They want to kill characters off because it works for the film? They can kill 'em off. They want to bring them all back for the sequel? Time travel.

Deadpool just makes all these transparent story needs and plot devices that much easier.

Storm and Professor X were in that scene too

It was pretty good... Not calling it the best ever (I almost like DP1 a little better), but it was everything I expected and wanted it to be. A little more emotional at some points than I expected.

**POTENTIAL SPOILER**
Too bad they didn't realize how bad that certain persons CGI was while making it. They could've made a joke about how bad superhero CGI can be. Missed opportunity on that little moment.

Josh Brolin as Cable on DP2, It was very sad

his performance was almost irrelevant
Kman
Kman - 5/18/2018, 9:14 AM
@Fanmar16 - he was bad ass but Thanos was definitely the more impressive performance
JoeMomma29
JoeMomma29 - 5/18/2018, 9:23 AM
@Fanmar16 - I did not mind Brolin as Cable but I did not care much for the character. I mean there was very little background info on him to care. Though I did like his look and how he showcased his powers.

Overall I found this movie really disappointing. That's hilarious that Matt Damon was the trucker talking about ass wipes though, I had no idea.

LOL I remember seeing the Vanisher scene and going "That looked like Brad Pitt! ehhh... probably wasn't" lol

I hope they used the device to bring back Shatterstar because what a waste of an awesome character. The idea of X-Force without him makes me a little sad.
JoeMomma29
JoeMomma29 - 5/18/2018, 9:25 AM
@TheUnworthyThor - I agree!

Also it was a let down not seeing any of those characters in action.

@JoeMomma29 - Zeitgeist using his acid spit with Peter was pretty hilarious to me though
GwenLantern
GwenLantern - 5/18/2018, 10:58 AM
@TheUnworthyThor - I loved how he just said he was from Mojoworld and it's perfectly acceptable, because it's Deadpool.

I wonder if there was ever a version of the script where he backs up Domino by saying that he also knows another guy who has luck superpowers (Longshot).

@JoeMomma29 - I was mostly only disappointed by this because there are scenes missing. The trailer shows Bedlam and Shatterstar actually fighting. I hope we get those scenes on the Blu Ray

Am I the only one who prefers DP2 to the first?

The first had a really generic origin story, a bland as hell villain, a "save the girl" plot line, and only had a few great action scenes (the bridge and the final battle).

DP2 gets to go crazy, uses more X-Men cameos, has better intertextual references, and is generally set loose to be silly and fun.

Would I have liked more backstory for Cable? Sure, but that's what X-Force is for.

And how is nobody talking about the orphanage being an Essex orphanage. Will Fox ever pay off all these Mr. Sinister easter eggs, or will Disney swallow them beforehand?

Movie was okay. Too Ryan Reynolds-y, which gets old really fast. I'm in love with Zazzie Beetz though. She's gorgeous.
