    I love that Deadpool 2 absolutely killed it at the boxoffice by comparison. Y'all should go see that instead:

    IMHO Deadpool 2 actually -is- better than the first one. Also before I saw it pretty much everyone I asked said the same thing. But I'm still going to see Solo, since I got this shiny no pay ticket sitting around XD

    Eight pages? Let's go for 3 and a half hours as well.
    Eight pages? Why not three hours?
    Eight Ten pages? Why not also five hours?

    The only thing that bugs me about Dead pool is Domino. "Hey, let's take a white character with a black spot and make her a black chapter with a white spot! And a giant fro."

    I'm probably going to enjoy the movie quite a lot anyways, but everytime I see Domino it's going to irritate the hell out of me, I'm sure.

    Have you guys seen what Lucas Films are saying now? That Solo failed because it had a white male lead...and the fans are toxic.

    It looks like doubling down is the tactic of the day. The House of Mouse is going to have to get daddy's belt at this rate before anything is likely to change for the Star Wars.

    Solo... failed... because the main character is Han Solo... I literally can't even.

    Solo was pretty much a horrible idea for a standalone movie from the start. I mean he is a space smuggler? Stop trying to remake firefly. It only works once.

    They are doing this a lot right now in the UK.

    New Iliad series coming out by bbc and if I recall correctly made Achilles, Zeus, Athena, and Apollo black.

    Supposed to be a Joan of arc one as well with Joan of arc and King Charles that are also now black.

    They are literally trying to rewrite history and ancient literature.

    I thought I was going crazy at first because I remembered domino being a very pale white and black spot on her eye.

    Don't know much about the character, but the actress playing Domino is so much fun I doubt you'll care.

    It's going to bug me regardless of the actress. It's not her fault. It's whoever decided Domino, of all people, would run around with a big afro. And not being albino. The actress could have remained the same for all I care, as long as they actually made the character look like the character and not someone completely different.

    I heard they just changed the name of Episode 9. It's now Chapter 11: A No Hope.

    See if it's a completely fictional character I don't care much if they change that characters skin color. But when they do it for someone who is based off an actual person that just makes no sense. Also it'd destroy any credibility the show was going to have if it was going be even remotely accurate on events that took place.

    So you wouldn't mind if Iron Man was made into a 15-year-old black girl with a 'fro? Oh...wait...Marvel already did that...

    No on said it had to be a different actress. Just that she look the part. Imagine if they had Heath Ledger look like Heath Ledger instead of the Joker for Batman.

    Actually that would kind of make the character even more unsettling. Imagine you're just sitting in a meeting and Heath Ledger randomly walks in and does the pencil trick to somebody.

    But riri is a different character. Now if all of a sudden Tony stark became tiffany stark and a teenage girl. No. But with Domino I don't really have an opinion because I don't know x-force that well.

    Nick Fury used to be white. Everyone thought Samuel J. did such a good job that he's black in the comics now, too. They even started drawing him like Sammy.

    It’s more like... psychotic narcissist that steals a iron man suit while everyone around her praises her on how awesome she is, even while over throwing a sovereign nation, and thinking she can never do no wrong.

    Riri that is.
