Finally got out to see this yesterday - it was a lot of fun, like the first movie. I only glanced at reviews going in and I had thought it was going to be all comedy, but it did have some serious and emotional moments as well.

Make sure you stay for the 2 post credit scenes.

Zazie Beetz was terrific as Domino - hope she can get her own movie down the road. "Luck isn't a superpower!" - she almost stole the movie from heavyweights Reynolds and Brolin.

Loved that Deadpool got a comment about Josh Brolin as Thanos in there.

The X-Force parachuting out to the rescue was great - didn't realize this till afterwards, but I guess Brad Pitt was The Vanisher. He only appeared for a second or two as he died. Matt Damon had a cameo as a redneck. Probably need to rewatch as there were a few other cameos. The X-Force movie with

Colossus seems to get his ass kicked a lot - the Gina Carano character in the first movie and Juggernaut this time out.

1. It was so good.

The wife and I went to see it yesterday.
Domino was great! Absolute stand out performance.
In addition to Damon as a redneck, Alan Tudyk played the second redneck.

3. Thanks

I corrected it - Colossus from Cyclops

2. "Luck isn't a superpower!"

sparked a memory: in Ringworld Larry Niven posited that humankind's principle reason for survival (our species' "talent&quot was just that: blind luck.

p.s. not much of a fan of comic book movies, but I enjoyed this one

4. I didn't know much about the original Deadpool movie

as he kind of came into being after I stopped reading comics, but I loved the original.

5. I LMAO at both of them,

which is as good a reason as any to go to a movie.

6. What kind of movie would Domino have?

It would be tough to do a comedy like Deadpool. But coming off of Deadpool, it would seem weird for it to be a serious movie.

Decisions, decisions.

7. good question

they're making an X-Force movie and she's one of the 3 announced stars along with Ryan Reynolds and Josh Brolin. So, her part will probably be bigger.

Maybe if that does well, they'll move on to a solo movie for just her?

8. That makes sense.

Give her another appearance in something like X-Force, and you can transition to a solo movie.
