Exactly. The most ridiculous thing I've read, which was from here, was someone complaining that in the previews, Gambit's eye weren't red..... If that makes you mad, wait until you see what they did to his powers.... At the same time, I have to laugh at how upset they get about minor details that don't matter.

Lol. Being a Wolverine, Gambit, and Deadpool fan. I imagine there would be a lot I could be upset about if this was supposed to be a direct translation. Seeing as how it is an adaption and therefore in my mind an alternate universe, I am going to be happy as long as the story is good and the acting is high quality. 

Liev carries the film. Not saying Hugh wasn't great, he was, but Liev was the centerpiece for me.

That is fine by me. Hugh held the limelight in their last film together. I am thinking they are taking turns.

Nice blog post. ^^ Well thought out. I agree, that a movie really doesn't show it like the comics, no matter how hard they try. If one is really that much of a fan, they should treat a movie as a different universe you could say, kind of like the normal universe, and the "ultimates." Just an idea. Good job! :D

Thanks. Now where's the spoiler reply?"

I just want to say that I agree. Films are adaptions. Watching something you've already read only works if it's somethign like Watchmen. 300 didn't really do it for me. V for Vendetta was much better then it would have been if it were a direct representation. It just wouldn't have worked on film. And hey, most people hated Venom in Spider-man three. I didn't think it was that bad. SUre it sucks he died but Raimi wanted to end the series there. Seems like a good ending to me. Of course Fox was able to pay him enough to come back and do more but Spidey has plenty more good villains to choose from.

That being said. The adapted characters still have resemble the essence of their source material and that's where X-men Origins: Wolverine falls flat on it face. Wolverine has had a dark past. He spends most of his present time tryig to get vengegance or atone for past sins. It's what makes him interesting. And don't even get me started on Deadpool. That pathetic excuse for a representation of one of the most fun Marvel characters is down right dispicable. Call me whiney but when the character doesn't even resemble the source material anymore I think you should just re-name it.

Awesome blog Ego. I totally agree that movies are alternate universes, and can't be expected to be exactly like in the comics (or whatever media the original story was from).

Just wait until you see the youthful (read; stretched) Patrick Stewart..

Nice blog. Obviously I agree with what you're saying for the most part, (Although a small part of me did go 'Aww man...' when I found out Gambit's eyes weren't red... lol) but...

In the comics, Ultimate Deadpool didn't represent the 616, and I didn't hear anyone complaining then."

Yeah, he kinda did. He still joked, he was still an amazing fighter... He wasn't an exact copy but he was an adaptation of Deadpool...

But as far as I can tell (I've been avoiding everything resembling spoilers recently so this might have changed) Weapon XI has nothing Deadpool-like about him. He is a totally different character and they have just given him the name Deadpool. He's not an adaptation at all, just a totally separate character with Deadpool's name.

You can have this debate about ANY character in any comic book movie though.

"You can have this debate about ANY character in any comic book movie though."

First, I don't remember that line, but it may have slipped past me.

The personality is there (well, not exactly as he is in the comics, but that won't translate), the mouthyness is there, the attitude is there. It's the same type of thing as movie Galactus vs Galan Galactus. They're both great in their own right.

I loved movie Galactus and thought it was an amazing way to translate the character to the big screen. A single, giant space entity... beautiful. Doom sucked, mainly because I just didn't care for him as a villain in the film.

When he his Wade, all of that is there. That's all I'll say.

Thanks for not spoiling, I won't be able to see the movie till next week, godammit.I wasn't too keen on Doom either, but he did steal the 'main villain' role from Galactus, IMO. Even the Surfer was a bigger villain than Galactus. And then at the end, when all is lost, Surfer is all 'Ya know what, it turns out I'm actually more powerful than the dude/gas cloud that created me. Go figure.'I liked the idea of movie Galactus, but not the delivery. He could have been great, but for me, he wasn't. Maybe I just like my villains to be able to talk, I dunno... And how exactly did Norrin 'bargain' with a giant cloud of gas to become his herald anyway? I haven't seen the movie in a while, but if I recall Surfer had essentially the same origin.Would've been better if Surfer didn't bargain with Galactus at all... That he obtained the board by other means (Since the board was all-powerful) and went around warning other planets about the approach of the world-eater so they didn't suffer the same fate as Zenn-La... Eh.Oh, and just something I remember seeing somewhere else on the Vine... It's kinda related... Zachary Quinto as Namor. Does anyone else LOVE that idea as much as me?"

People like to trip  lot. It ain't simple to copy off a film the way it is in the book. Just like some movies being made into comics, some suck. A lot of movies aren't accurate, but that doesn't make the movie bad. There are a lot of good films out there. Some movies keep a lot of details from the comics, but twist it for different reasons. Maybe so the film can be enjoyed by a wide audience. Maybe have you stopped and think about how long comic series are to include every detail? You can't have "the" perfect comic movie. I want to see the crying fans try to take a shot at making a film based off books. It seems like it's easy to make according to them. Everyone is picky about something.

One more thing.....

To all the pissed off Deadpool fans...I know what happens in the movie. Stop bragging about how they f#cked up Wade. I think his appearance suits him, he's a messed character anyway. Plus, they might make a Deadpool movie. That is damn lucky for the hardcore fans. I wish Blue Beetle could get a movie deal like Wade might.

I look at all comicbook/book/video game based movies as if they were an alternate universe.  Can't be disappointed that way.
