    I'm not interested in Magneto at all, and I thought that CGI technology for de-aging was horrible and fake. It was like visual Auto-tune! Mr. McKellen just needs OTHER good roles. #xmen

    @salthegeek: agreed. I was soooo worried they would try to pick up where that movie left off which would've just been stupid. Of course they botched the Wolverine movie so it wouldn't have been surprising. #xmen

    @salthegeek: Ryan Reynolds tends to be the only good part of any movie he's in.

    I'm not quite sure if its a problem with the movie, or if he's just too awesome for it usually.

    I will say that the only reason I purchased Blade: Trinity was Ryan Reynolds. #xmen

    @CodenameV: Seconded. Why would you not make a Magneto movie, when you have that caliber of actors to work with? McKellan and Stewart are some of the best actors you'll find in any genre, stage or screen.

    Translation: "They're too old and ugly, so we don't want them in our pic." Screw that. Frakin Hollywood.

    @Bigdamnhero: @CodenameV: WHY? What possible story could you tell with Ian McKellan at this stage? You can't de-age a 70 year old to a 20-30 year old, as proven by the godawful Patrick Stewart in Origins. And so you'd end up having him narrating, at best.
    And even if that wasn't true, why waste good acting talent on the X-Men equivalent of the Star Wars prequels? #xmen

    @deworde: Why does anyone need to be de-aged? I became fans of Stewart and Mckellan while they were old men; I'm not interested in seeing a younger actor reprise the role (I'm not opposed to it, just would prefer the originals).

    In the vast archive of stories in the Marvel vault, there must be something to tell. I would like to see two of the finest actors around reprise their X-men roles, before we no longer have them. #xmen

    Or instead of a full reboot, the writers could do is use a throw-away line of " The process wasn't completely grafted into his body, so only his face is screwed up."

    I'm cool with that. #xmen

    There are dozens of workarounds for the version of Deadpool we saw in Wolverine (Crank's 'I was dead and got better' leaps to mind) and I'm delighted to hear they're looking at both that and the fourth wall stuff.

    Sorry to hear Magneto may be on hold though, that had a lot of potential. Still 'First Class', handled right would fit the Harry Potter story model perfectly. It'll be interesting to see how that turns out. #xmen

    i just dont get how you can take wolverine and make it as horrible as they did for the origins movie. you have tons of source material with pictures and thousands of 'experts' on the character. how the fuck do you butcher it that badly? i honestly wont give fox another dime to watch the tattered remains of the xmen universe. #xmen

    I like comics, especially comic-books. Webcomics are not shaped like comic-books, since they are sized according to monitor displays. Do print media buyers embrace web-comic-books, since they are not really in the same size and format as comic-books?
    Why do I not see a future for web-comics-turned-paperback? Am I just being a fuddy-duddy?

    Was all excited for the absolute death till I read it was just High Cost of Living and Time of Your Life wrapped up into one book, and it didnt contain any Sandman stories that Death was in as well.

    Considering I have the original High Cost comics, and the graphic novel version of Time, not really all the exciting.

    The thumbnail of Woody H in 2012 made him look like a Viking at first glance. Strange fact: The thought that Emmerich would have a viking in 2012 did NOT surprise me.

    And someone should tell Jack Kenny that Hitler's microphone is ok but Hitler's accordion would be a lot funnier. Just a suggestion.

    Jesus.

    Rob Leifeld telling people how excited he is about the Deadpool movie is as much of an endorsement as George Lucas going around talking about how great a new Star Wars project is going to be.

    At best it carries no weight or credibility with people who like the property, and at worse it makes them more nervous about it.

    Rob Liefeld needs to be kept away. From everything comic-related, ever.

    Deadpool didn't even start his 'breaking the fourth wall schtick' until well after Liefeld had bailed on Marvel. Liefeld designed Deadpool as a ripoff of Deathstroke, from Teen Titans, and Fabian Nicieza is the one that gave him the chatty annoying personality. (Nicieza also gave Deadpool the real name of Wade Wilson, a reference to Slade Wilson, Deathstroke's real name.)

    It always bothers me whenever Liefeld shows up and starts spouting about creating Deadpool. Yes he designed his look, (a black and red-clad ninja) but the personality that makes him so popular, Liefeld had nothing to do with.

    @AtomicTao: Liefeld had a pretty boring run with Deadpool. It seemed like all DP ever did was narrate himself. He didn't get interesting until after Liefeld wasn't involved.. like you said

    @AtomicTao: Be careful with speaking badly against Liefield. They say if he hears, he'll visit you while you're sleeping and re-design your body so that you'll have massive muscles, out of proportion facial features, and dainty little misshapen feet. Also, like his characters, he'll steal your personality and ability to make interesting dialogue.

    jk, I would never accuse another person of writing that script. It's just plain mean.
