Thrive to spite them

Tom did you notice if there were a lot of flashing lights or a lot of quick cut editing in the movie?

Basically anything like the Black Widow opening credits are going to be a problem for me on the big screen. I went back and watched the opening credits for that, it's not as bad as it was when I first tried to watch it.

I didn’t notice anything, but I’m also not really looking out for or affected by that sort of thing.

Thanks Tom. I know it's not something most people think about. I did some searching and on Reddit a few people chimed in that the big sequence at the end had sparks and flashing lights. And someone else said they had to close their eyes for part of the time. So I don't know. If it's at the end and I close my eyes during the Marvel intro sequence I should be ok. It's nowhere near as bad as it was and I won't have a seizure.

I liked it better than Deadpool 2, but I probably agree on the Wolverine aspect. I love that the thread title has never been more relevant!

Do you guys think Blind Al is also aware of the Fourth Wall, or is she just so used to Wade's asides and meta references that she tried to find a workaround for his "no cocaine" rule without arguing?

Still have not seen Logan, so I can’t comment on that. I do feel like D&W is this summer’s Barbie

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

We saw Deadpool & Wolverine tonight, and I will never stop laughing at the store named "Leifeld's Just Feet." Ever.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Finally saw D&W over the weekend. It was a lot of fun but I found the hyper violence tiring after awhile. (I do realize that's part of the whole schtick of these movies and isn't going to change.)

I unfortunately got spoiled for all the cameos due to social media. I think out of all of them the Chris Evans one would have been much more enjoyable blind.

Do you guys think

I've never given it much thought before but my guess would be they're just humoring Wade's bullshit because it's not worth the fight.

I only got spoiled for Chris Evans as Johnny Storm, but nothing about the actual storyline involving that character, so I guess that's spoiled lite.

Thanks to the movie, I do now have a good description for my migraines: it feels like Cassandra Nova has her entire hand in my brain.

I was thoroughly unspoiled and I really appreciated that when the reveals/cameos happened. Although I also absolutely did not recognize everyone, but I'm fine with that.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I got spoiled for some stuff but mostly forgot it. I had seen that Chris Evans was in it but NOT that he was playing Human Torch, so that was fun.
