It all began with a leaked picture of a action figure..
THIS FIGURE!!
That little Barraka looking guy is Deadpool...according to the package for the upcoming Wolverine movie. Nothing to really freak out over really, Deadpool is bald, and horribly scared up hence why he wears a full body costume as seen here.
This is the Deadpool in the comics, a pretty cool character he's deadly, and he's also hilarious with his quips and insane moments of talking to himself or to those thought boxes in the comics. So naturally, this figure did not bother me at all, i mean I can live without the red and black costume, and the blades looked taped on...something that Deadpool probably would do fighting Wolverine, just to be funny.
However since this toy photo leaked, something much more bigger leaked...like the entire freaking movie of Wolverine!!! I admit sometimes I do watch movies (not downloading) without seeing it in the theaters while it's still in it's theatrical run, there are ways to do it, but if it's a movie i REALLY REALLY want to see (Watchmen, Quantum of Solace) I'll go to the theater, but if it's one I really don't want to see (Twilight)I watch it in this way. I have not seen this leaked movie but it's nearly impossible to not hear some of the feedback if you're a internet/pop culture geek like me...and now I'm getting nervous.
From some pissed off geeks, the toy shown earlier IS Deadpool. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but I don't want it to be. This is the same baldy in the last trailer shooting lasers out of his eyes and a closer look at the toy IT HAS NO MOUTH!!! how do you make the "merc with a mouth" mouthless? anyway I hope that if they do the rumored Deadpool movie they at the very least give him a mouth if this is the real person.
However, I am a bit optimistic as when Batman Begins came out I was a little bummed out about Liam Neeson not being Ra's Al Guhl and Ken Watanabe was playing that role instead. He was billed as Ducard as Watanabe was billed as Ra's respectively, and as i sat in the theater I kept thinking Neeson would be a good Ra's and then the big reveal was Neeson WAS Ra's. So here's hoping.
Now after that rant I feel like a giant nerd...I should go to sleep or something.
PS: If Deadpool wasn't enough of a departure of a cool character, The Cobra Commander, best known for kicking puppies
will look like like this, this summer
