    Interesting. Can't yet tell if it will be awesome or terrible, but it still has my interest.

    Ryan Reynolds made a joke about Green Lantern last night on Conan. I think he was talking in regards to that one guy who did the "in a world where..." commercial stuff. He said something about a Green Lantern sequel with him and his wife that was coming out (not really) called "Green Lantern 2: OGNA"...as in "Oh God Not Again". It seems he was acknowledging the shortcomings of the movie they made and how a sequel was a no-go. He also debuted the "Deadpool" trailer. I wasn't sure if I was watching the same one as the one that debuted at Comic Con. I think it was. I'm still torn as to whether I care for this comic book character. If I had a history with the comic, then I'm sure I would care. But, I don't so I have to rely on what I see versus read on this one. While it was pointed out it's supposed to be "cheesy", I'm wondering if it isn't also bordering on "goofy" as in too goofy for my tastes. The only way to know I guess is to see it. But, it may be a rental.

    They trash Green Lantern throughout the movie. It's mentioned heavily in the article I linked. It likely will end up being a deleted scene on the bluray, but there's a scene where Deadpool pretty much goes on a huge rant about Green Lantern with Colossus. He also makes a quip in the trailer about making sure the costume isn't 'green or animated'.

    It's supposed to be goofy...I can't speak for your taste.

    As terrible as Reynold's movies have been, it feels like this is his last shot at being a legit actor.

    That being said, I think this film could do it for him; trailer looked pretty good. He took shots at Green Lantern in the trailer which I thought was pretty funny

    I think you mean an A-List type actor that doesn't have to do a sharknado every year to pay the bills, right?

    I disagree- the guy is funny, smart and handsome. Deadpool will be a hit, mark my words, but even if it wasn't he could still do romcoms and co-star in movies where he's not the main draw.

    Legit actor as in winning an Oscar legit?

    Hate or love him, Reynolds can always find big roles in future movies. The dude made a career out of doing rom-coms.

    You're thinking of Deathstroke, the DC comics character that Deadpool creater Rob Liefeld, uh... was HEAVILY INSPIRED by:

    [​IMG]

    Liefeld is well-known for his many ripoff character creations. Here are some of his greatest hits. How he was never sued for this stuff, I'm not totally sure. Images are huge:

    [​IMG]
    The incredible "Smash!" (yes, really)

    [​IMG]
    The wonderful "Glory!"

    [​IMG]

    "Roman" is literally just ****ing Namor spelled backwards. Wow.

    [​IMG]
    Warwolf. Didn't even bother changing the costume.

    [​IMG]
    And who could forget the legendary "Fighting American!"

    Could've been Deathstroke (who was in Arkham Origins), but he's probably thinking of Deadshot (who was in Arkham City and Origins).

    I'm kind of shocked no one has posted this yet. Red band trailer 2 (NSFW). This movie looks more and more awesome every time they release new information.

    Seriously? Marvel (Fox) is doing this?

    "Unconventional" doesn't quite go far enough to describe that.

    They need to fire Bryan Singer and have Tim Miller make the X-Men movies from now on.

    I didn't see any training

    Can you not just wait to see the training montage in the movie? Does in need to be in the trailer? Keep in mind that it might be the best part.
