One or two characters is fine, but it looks like they have halve the MU in the movie. They may be cameos or whatever, but it's still to much.
Don't get me wrong, I'm going to see the movie as soon as I can, I just hope I can enoy it without getting confused.

"Kid Deadpool said:I could've sworn I saw a little girl who looked like Storm"Yeah I don't understand where Cyclops, Storm, or Gambit is in it."Storm isn't."
The Maniac said:
"There x-men of course, lol. were's (weak) beak come in?"Yeah but the X-men aren't part of his origin.
"The Maniac said:No he's not."I just think they should have made it about Wolverine not the Marvel universe, or just called it Weapen X: OriginsYeah. But even if it was just about Wolverine, it would still prolly include Deadpool, cuz he's sort of an important part of the origin.

yeah, they never met up in weapon x as far as I am aware of.
They just throwed him there because he comeds from weapon x aswell and because he is very popular.
Now when they do a solo deadpool movie.... Jesus ho am I kiddin, I dont want fox making it. New line cinema at the other way, they had plans for a solo movie, but fox whent all bitchy cause of the origins one
I will probably still see this movie. The story does not look amazing. Its wolverines origin, but they seem to be trying to cram in as many X-men universe characters as possible (yea its annoying.) But on the positive side there are some good actors in this movie, so I will not go in with low expectations. Regardless I will still expect to be entertined.

And Fox tends to at least get that much right every time. Casting is usually pretty dead on in every movie.
"I just think they should have made it about Wolverine not the Marvel universe, or just called it Weapen X: OriginsNobody cares about the other members of Weapon X outside this community.Wolverine is Weapon X as far as the non-comic readers are concerned so rightfully the movie is about Wolverine.

I reiterate:
Most comic movies do not follow continuity and probably never will. So just try to enjoy them as their own independent things and don't get too hung up on the changes and little details. And take heart that they just might spark a moviegoers interest to pick up some comics and give them a try.
"I reiterate:My only problem with that statement is these aren't small changes. If Deadpool is Weapon XI that makes his character almost unrecognizable. If you're going to take that many liberties why even put the character in the movie?

"I know because I have common sense. I've gone over it at least a half dozen times in various threads."LMFAO! One point for you.

Follow the link. You'll see that Deadpool and Weapon XI are two different roles. The thing about the Deadpool toy is a production error.
Yea I've seen the IMDB list. But I've also seen the toy.
They released the toy twice and neither time did anyone think to fix it. Is there a public statement about the toy being incorrect? That's what I was askign about.
"Kid Deadpool said:Yeah, he is. Well, maybe it's the other way around."The Maniac said:No he's not."I just think they should have made it about Wolverine not the Marvel universe, or just called it Weapen X: OriginsYeah.

Heres a nice video expressing theories:

The problem I have with it is there seems to be way to many characters that don't relate to the subject as I understand it.
Admitidly (spelled right?) I understand they have added a lot to Logans history since I last read it, that being the origins mini, but I don't rememberthe likes of Gambit, Deadpool and such in his back story.
As for sparking movie goers intrest, Don't you think they will be confused when the comics don't line up with the movie?
"I am tired of hearing opinions, Ill just go and watch the movie just for the sake of seeing deadpool on the big screen.
Ima chargin Ma Lazeh Shoopa Da Whoop!
"
Yes. People really do need to see the movie.
About this movie debate with Weapon XI and Deadpool... there are rumors that Weapon XI is Deadpool used as a medium for all of these powers, like an Apocalypse the Twelve-type scenario. I wonder if they're trying to give a new meaning to "Deadpool"? In the comics, Wade got his moniker from a betting game (the dead pool) where other test subjects bet on whom would die next from the horrendous experimentations. If the rumors are accurate, then "Deadpool" is a collective power "pool" of sorts. I wonder how the "dead" part fits in? The killing factor, possibly? Who knows. And Deadpool was a test subject used to try to re-create Wolverine... but why stop there? If you're trying to create the ultimate soldier, why not try to make an amalgamation? A little corny though, yes.
I just hope he loses all of the powers except the healing, then has his own movie.
After watching the most recent interview with Renyolds I may be re-thinking my stance. He definitely gets it and I like that he knows the character. But do the producers get it?
