watchmen haters

I tend to wander the net like a crackhead looking for his next fix. Once a topic is in my head it will be the only thing i look for. a few days ago i was looking for watchmen reviews to hopefully get any more info out of them as possible. Ive seen every trailer, feature, and photo there is related to anything to do with the movie. To call me obsessed would be a understatement. Sadly though my wandering sometimes takes me to the "ghetto's" of the internet. While on one slightly shady forum a gang of hooligans that had the pleasure of seeing a special presentation of the movie were complaining it was to much like the book. Too much like the book???? I remember when it was announced they were making the movie the internet almost had a billion person stroke from anger.

"how can they film the unfilmable?"
"oh great another novel fucked up by Hollywood"
"This better follow the book. i want to be able to see the movie and place everything in it in the book"

Those are some quotes from random idiots. These people did not want a retelling of the greatest graphic novel. "The fans" wanted their novel in motion form. So now that every reviewer has said it follows the book over 90% people are throwing fits. They want a retelling of the story. they want the directors perception of the story. if they wanted the exact story they would read the novel....

Am i the only one that sees a problem with this? I realize fanboys are fickle but damn...

oh and any forum that has a link to watch a movie a week or two before it comes out does not contain the movie just a billion virus's and or other evil things to screw up your computer.

Now you know!

as promised heres the deadpool rant

"Nicknamed the "Merc with a Mouth", Deadpool is a high-tech mercenary known for his wisecracks, black comedy, and satirical pop-culture references. Like the X-Men's Wolverine, Deadpool is the product of the Canadian government's paramilitary Weapon X program, although his place of birth is unknown. After Weapon X cured his terminal cancer by implementing a regenerative "healing factor" extracted from Wolverine, Deadpool is left disfigured and mentally unstable."

Thats the crash course in deadpool 101. for 102 you would learn about cable, body surfing, where the term deadpool came from and other such trivia such as his real name(s).

Deadpool is hands down one of my favorite marvel creations. he's spastic, has a strange sense of humor and has seen aunt may naked. Not only does he have wolverines healing abilities but he is a helluva lot funnier most issues. He is also one of the few comic characters to know he is a comic book hero. Breaking the fourth wall(talking about being in a comic) is a taboo most people arnt willing to commit to and yet deadpool has done it more times then he has fathered children.
Maybe its a sense a kin in him but im a huge fan of his. i love his outfit, powers, and generally most story arcs he is involved in. But i have a problem with the newest arc and by arc i mean movie namely wolverine: origins.

First off i like Ryan Reynolds. I like his comedic timing. Stoked doesnt even begin to explain my feelings to see him play one of my favorite comic book heroes. Then i saw the pics. I could live with him not wearing the mask because it makes sense that for the most part the movie follows what happens before the weapon x program which is where the scars come from. I start having problems though when i see what looks like blades coming out of the toys arm that is officially liscenced from the movie. everyone knows that the toys for movies usually relate pretty well with what the final decision for the characters look will be.

So i have to question why the fuck deadpool is sporting blades from his hand. He does not have any blades like that in any comic. the closest thing to blades like wolverines comes from when he used knuckle blades during an arc. Deadpool is a merc that would rather shoot first from yards away then get bloody or tired from physical fighting.

So I ask why the fuck does he have a blade coming from each arm? Atleast on the toy his hands are wrapped so theres a chance the blades are tied on...oh wait never mind because in stills from the movie he still has his hand blades but no tape..which unless he decided to gorilla glue them to his arms he is physically connected to them aka wolverine like..

While its a cool concept i mean hell lady deathstrike has her claws for fingers, wolverine has his 3 knuckle claws and sabretooth has his nails its only fair deadpool gets something....In a fair trade he has razor sharp wit instead and everyone knows to get far in life you only have to keep people laughing.






This is the Deadpool we all know and love:






this is not:



To repeat! this is deadpool the fans adore:



not this...

First post aka the begining of the end..

I start this a scared boy trapped in a mans body. My mind races with thoughts about what to write about. There's my anger towards the new wolverine movie namely the treatment of deadpool, maybe the blog conversation between me and my best friend about comic heroes being perves, maybe a touching piece about how my gf is going to be learning to play violin soon. Then there is always the easy way out, i could talk about watchmen, the next batman movie, or pixars up.

Instead of such broad topics I think i should start with a warning. Yes a warning:
To the english majors out there I dont claim to be a writer. My grammer is horrible there will be typos. im sure i will be using the wrong form of a word. suck it up and deal with it.

Ooh another warning:
I'm not crazy nor do i claim to be normal. I sit somewhere a little off the sanity spectrum in a bean bag chair. Bipolar doesnt even begin to describe my moods. Instead of blaiming my childhood or my genetics for my actions i take full responcibility. this blog is for random thoughts, conversations, pictures, videos and news pertaining to things i like.
