Yeah, very sad. He was great on Sabrina too.

I see he was added to the 27 Club.

Sweet! I'm excited about that. Drew Goddard is generally a good writer.

Looks bonkers.

I would like to extend my deepest, most heartfelt apologies to all the "You ruined my childhood" weirdos.

I finally understand you.

(Not to say that I'm a huge fan of this franchise, but I did watch the show as a kid, and I loved what has happened with the franchise in the comics, giving everyone good backstories. And then they drop this. Just... why.)

Deadpool & Wolverine

Hugh is definitely channeling some animated series Wolverine with this take.

Looks super fun. Now all the comic diehards online can finally rest easy knowing Wolverine does indeed go sleeveless in the movie haha

I really hope that movie does well, it looks fun, if a bit cheesy. But I suspect Disney will just go "it underperformed" and use it as a scapegoat to stop making mature-ish Marvel movies.

I'm also not happy with how the villain looks. But eh. We'll see.

Disney can’t lie about box office numbers. Those are reported by outside sources. I have to doubt Disney would put out a very expensive MCU movie just hoping to say “gotcha,” especially after their 2023. They’ll take a win this year any place they can get it haha

Disney: "We expect to make 15% of this movie's budget as profit."
Box Office: "Deadpool & Wolverine made 20% profit!"
Disney: "Actually, we expected the movie to beat our expectations by more than 5%. Hugh and Ryan will be voicing animated movies for us from now on until they're wearing Depends."

And this sounds like a troll, but it happens all the time in the tech industry.

Eh I suppose they COULD lie about that, but anybody who even kinda keeps up with the movie industry knows what constitutes as a financial success and a financial failure. I don’t know how often any movie studio makes their percentage expectations known to the general public other than that they obviously want to make an actual profit. Disney especially follows the money… so if it’s a financial success (and we’ll know if it is), I’m sure they’ll want to capitalize.

That said, I do doubt they’re going to lean TOO too heavily into the mature MCU projects regardless. Maybe a Deadpool movie and a Daredevil-related series here and there, but they won’t stray too far from the family-friendly stuff.

Oh. Great. The Karate Kid multiverse.

Warning: gives a bit too much away for my taste, but also gets me hyped up hard.
