No need to beat a dead horse about how Fox "mutilated" our beloved Merc with(out) a Mouth.  As much as I'm excited to see 2 hours being dedicated to 'Pool and being played by a semi-fanboy in Reynolds, the fact that Fox yet again is hell bent on taking liberties that further deviate from the original character, is totally killing my enthusiasm for this movie.

Just read this article which states that DP will have the smart-ass remarks (cool), be diagnosed with cancer (great), self-regenerating healing powers (awesome), heightened physical & athletic abilities (ok), AND will be able to absorb the abilities of dead and captured mutants. (WTF?!)  Why Fox, WHY?!  So yet again, this FOXpool that we end up seeing should continue the Fox trend of butchering perfectly adequate Marvel characters.

Get over it

Meh close enough .

"After 1 Wolverine and 3 X-Men films... Why are you even surprised?  "

Doesn't bother me. I just want him to keep John Wraith's powers and get some kind of illusion power to make up for his technology from the comics his teleporter and image inducer.

"Why even complain? It's not like the producers are hovering around forums seeing what the average fanboy has to say... They don't care. And I'm sick of seeing them all say the same thing, "THEY RUINED THE CHARACTER"... No they didn't, he's just not the one from the comic... Because it's a movie, not a comic.... Quit your crying..... (not you xerox, the whiners in general)"

LOL... It's pretty much a case of "Be careful what you wish for.  You just might get it".  

Only in Deadpool's case, the fans were served up a hashed up version of their favourite character... and then they actually wanted more!  For months the forums have been filled with whining... but as soon as the film came out & there were rumours about his own film the complaints changed to excitement.

Seriously, why?  What track record has Fox shown for staying true to any character?  So far they've just abused Deadpool and there's no reason to presume that will change.  Just because he was getting his own solo film didn't mean that they'd retcon the Wolverine film.  It just means that it's another chance for Hollywood to "adapt" a character into something more likeable for a wider non-comic reading audience.

Its close enough so i dont see what the fuss is .

think in this way, no they have a excuse to make a costume.
as for the whole absorb the abilities thing, all i can say is meh.

"Its close enough so i dont see what the fuss is ."

"AND will be able to absorb the abilities of dead and captured mutants. "

oh boy, those anyone smell lawsuit coming.

"Sounds like they're trying to give Deadpool's name meaning (a pool of powers from the dead). I'm sure it's not permanent or anything. I think it's cool anyway, just go with it, as long as they do a good job."

They sort of did that in the Wolverine film.  Although it was very brief, it was the only time they actually used the name "Deadpool".

Personally, I find it amusing that they're making a Deadpool film, since there's already a Dirty Harry movie of the same name ;)

Maybe they will give the movie a different name ."

let see
foxpool
Deadpool- the merc with the mouth
Marvel Deadpool
Deadpool Orgin
didn't they say that fox need to put x-men in their title for them to use and of the charther in the x-world. but the deadpool isn't a part of their world just some one who vist them, (or fighting them).

I highly doubt they're going to give him his own movie with all the pooled powers. I don't think Fox is going to put out a movie and slap Deadpool's name on it and it be nothing like the title character, which is what Deadpool was by the end of Wolverine's movie. Call it optimism, but I think they'll at least fix the character enough to resemble Deadpool. And hey, Wade Wilson in the beginning of the movie wasn't bad. But yeah, I'll choose to be disappointed when the movie comes out, if it's disappointing.

Yum.... Not made yet.  Hopefully they'll get Joe Kelly or some one from Marvel to write the script so it will be more true to the Deadpool story. 

Only one website has reported of saying that.

You honestly going to trust ONE website over the hundreds that DON'T mention him having that power? The movie was announced a few days ago, nobody could know that much information when a screenwriter hasn't even been hired yet, That website is lying and is full of crap.

Well, that's from yahoo news, and i don't trust that site too much.
Plus Reynolds said if they were going to make a DP movie, it would be true to the source.We don't know how much power he will have in this project, so let's just see what happens.
And the writing didn't even started yet.

"Well it was bound to be changed a bit, he get's extra powers, that's cool with me "

So we now have a Rougepool? O_O?

Well that kind of sucks....

I wonder what Ryan has to say about it? He said that if the character was not true to the comic he wouldn't play it.

i wonder he gave rouge her power.
or what when they touch each other.

Agreed"

I just hope they give him his mouth back
