Whitley Schreiber? Odd.

Schribe Lever?. Strange.

Scheiße Lover? Disgusting!

Hopefully he'll do something cool this time, like be a random on screen victim during a massacre.

Also 5 stars for pouncing a helicopter.

I watched the cartoon religiously as a kid, and I'm still not quite sure what Gambit's "power" is. Something about cards and a stick. And perhaps a bucket.

Gambit's power is being a jerk.

he can energize stuff

BOOM

if gambit gets really drunk, could he accidentally turn the whole planet into a bomb?

I'm a bigger fan of Gunfire.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunfire_(comics)

He can basically turn anything into a weapon.

"Gunfire's eyepiece survived into the far, far future, appearing in Hitman One Million. This grants a citizen of the future Gunfire's exact powers simply because it is so old and was used by a super-powered hero. Unfortunately the man utilizing the eyepiece was not very competent. He turns his medical pack into a gun, injuring himself, then accidentally turns his very own buttocks into a grenade. He perishes moments later."

The quote from the comic is "OH MY GOD! I JUST TURNED MY ASS INTO A HAND GRENADE--"

And that is why Garth Ennis is the tits.

Gambit's power was really poorly thought out. He could turn fucking ANYTHING into a bomb, yet he limits himself to a deck of playing cards because I guess it goes with his rougeish image or something? And by "rougheish" I mean "Gambit craved penis."

Upon further consideration, I absolutely DEMAND that Gambit have the same Coonass accent as that firefly from the Disney movie.

"Uh oh, look lahk Wovowine hyea done stepped in da 'possum trap. This cuud take sum TAHM! Haw haw!"

yeah. i don't know what was in the water in the mid-late 90s, but Hitman and the Kelly run on Deadpool were two of the funniest and best dismantlings of the superhero genre in the history of ever. Just the right balance between depressing shit and hilariously goofy shit (whereas now Deadpool has been relegated to "ZOMG RANDOM + KILLINGS" and well, Ennis took care of things on his end.)

Here goes the Neckbeard...

Gambits powers involve charging objects with kinetic energy. (why this makes them explode is beyond me, however, he also seems to have the abilty to make them NOT explode when charged. This is handy for his staff - he charges it, bascicly making it hit a great deal harder due to all the excess kinetic energy. (Kinetic energy is basicly the motion of energy.))

As for Gambit blowing up the Planet, and using cards for his primary charging weapon - the answer to both lie in the mass of the object. Low mass objects (like the cards, and to a lesser degree, his staff), can be charged quickly, while larger objects, (like a car, or a planet) take greater amounts of time to charge. As for charging a planet, The whole planet would glow bright pink before it came anywhere near exploding, so people would have plenty of time to figure out what the score was, and take the Cajun out.

Also, he might need something to throw the planet at. Which... proves difficult.

yeah man except that RYAN FUCKING REYNOLDS is playing Deadpool.

i am generally not a comic fag anymore, but joe kelly's run on deadpool is one of the best bits in comic fag history and fucking ryan reynolds and arrgh.

VAN WILDER IS: DEADPOOL

rolfcaust

theSnake makes a good point, unfortunately.

ROFL ROFL ROFL

you realize he pretty much only wears the mask because cancer ate his face away

and that there was a point in his characters life where he didnt have a cancer-eaten face

i dont know why, but people who complain about Ryan Reynolds SEXYING UP DEADPOOL is like my pet peeve in all of the hype, especially because Reynolds is a huge Deadpool fan and will probably be one of the most interesting parts of this otherwise play-by-numbers cash-in.

anyways NERRRRRRRRRD

I have no problems with Ryan Reynolds sexiness. I just didn't realize Deadpool was so VERY SEXY before CANCER ATE HIS FACE. I will be sure to consult wikipedia before I open my mouth about something I obviously know very little about.

So is Ryan Reynolds going to talk to the audience Deadpool style through out the movie as well? That would be excellent.

I'm just content that Wolverine is one of the few characters they managed to cast well from the movies. If I don't see another Dawson's Creek reject fuck playing a superhero, I'm willing to put up with all other faults for that much alone.

Counterpoint: anything and everything to do with Wolverine's origin- any of them- is horrible, unreadable, fun-killing tripe. The only comics I have ever read with the words "Weapon X" in them that didn't give me a hate-migraine and bloody stool for weeks afterward were the few issues of New X-Men where Grant Morrison gave us his completely batshit insane version of the idea.

See, I agree....but if they're GOING to make some dumbshit origin movie, I just figured what with the weight of other, more faithful comic movies going around, they'd maybe not fuck it up so much.

This isn't anything like the other X-Men clips on POETV. Where are the motorcycles? Where's the fat guy in a Predator helmet? What happened previously?

CRY FOR THE MOON!

X-Men Origins:
Colossus - could be good
Storm - meh
Nightcrawler - done pretty much in X2
Cyclops - could be good
Jean Grey - done pretty much in X3
Magneto - done pretty much in X1
Beast - could be awesome
Rogue - done in X1
Dr X. - could be awesome

just my $.02

The only other character in the first three X-Men movies with enough non-comics bank would be Storm. And, unfortunately, her origin is now just as boned as Wolverine's due to the inclusion of Black Panther. Because they're both African. That's the basis for the retcon and marriage, basically. It's like marrying Wonder Woman off to Aquaman because they're both royalty and having her appear as second banana in his book.

I am a huge fucking nerd, I know. Also: The Blob is in this.

WE WERE FANBOYS ONCE...

...and young :(

and and and and AND...

the double irony of thinking this movie will be good, and that Ryan Reynolds will be a terrible Deadpool.


(I actually think Deadpool is crap, which is why Reynolds made the perfect one)
