I love the callback to the first movie:

"I could do this all day." :joy:

I kind of wish that they hadn't shown us Spider-Man in full-costume, and saved the reveal for the movie instead. Cutting right after Captain America gets his hands tied in his web would have been better as a tease.

Anyways, my hype for this movie is through the roof. The Captain America series is the best Superhero movie franchise ever, IMO.

Watching the trailer again, they clearly went for the Steve Ditko style Spider-Man with their costume design. Some people complain that it looks cheesy, but personally I approve of it. I also like how they animate the changes in his facial expression via his costume's eyes, just like they did with Deadpool. On the one hand it makes no sense, but on the other hand I don't give a fuck because it looks less ridiculous than the static look of the costumes from the previous Spider-Man films, IMO.

Pretty much what I commented.

And yes, I remember Cap's line from First Avenger when he said that as well and went, "Yeah, that's true" lol

So Deadpool's nearing $700 million. I knew it would do well, but I'm surprised it's getting that much.

I'm happy for the film makers, they deserve the success.

To think that this film had a lot going against it. I mean, it got released in February of all months, that and January are like the kiss of death as far releasing movies go, was released during the weekend where Hollywood mostly releases romantic stuff, it was R rated, and was banned in China. Deadpool did what he does best, defy all logic.

Why did China ban it?  :srs:

Overtly violent and some bits of nudity where you can see a dude's wang. China has some weird censorship law yo. Did you know you can't show skeletons in video games over there. I remember it took a few years for a certain World of Warcraft expansion to even make it into China because the premise was fighting the undead Lich King or something.

But yeah, not having access to China's market is kinda seen as a bad thing due to how huge the market is over there.

Don't the Chinese take the majority of box office sales? I could have sworn somewhere someone bringing that up in a box office thread (not here).

New X-Men: Apocalypse trailer: http://youtu.be/PfBVIHgQbYk

If this is even half as good as Days of Future Past, then this year can officially be considered FOX's redemption for Fant4stic.

I didn't know or forgot that The Mask was a comic book movie. I heard about that in a thread about whether The Mask or Deadpool is the funniest comic book movie of all time.
