  1. My problem with this game is in career mode (2k10 that is).

    I play my ole as a point guard well. I rack up no less than 9 assists a game, I lockdown on defense, etc. But I'm not a scoring machine, I just look for other people to score unless I have a good shot. I average a B+ team grade per game, but I constantly get "cut" from my d-League team and resigned to it. Come to find out, its because scoring is a crucial part to going pro...that's not the style of play I've built myself up at, I figured someone that can dish out assists would be just as valuable. apparently I was wrong.

  2. So, I haven't really kept up with comic books in the last several years. I like Marvel, primarily. So here's what I'm asking...what's some good stuff for me to jump into?

    I'm an X-Men mark of sorts, with my favorites being Nightcrawler and Gambit for what that's worth...I also liked, back in the day, a lot of the X-Factor and whatnots.

    Anyway, someone, please, recommend me some good stuff to spend my money on >_>

  3. I get where the anger comes from. But truthfully, you also have to understand, that Fox could give a shit less about the 2% of the internet comic community that is upset about the changes in Deadpool.

    For every person that is outraged that Deadpool has been altered at all, there are SCORES more that sitll intend to see this movie that either 1) don't give a fuck about the changes, 2) don't know a whole lot about him in the first place, or 3) don't know ANYTHING about him

    Its a movie about Wolverine, not Deadpool, so really I would think most Deadpool fans would be happy that Deadpool gets to be a FAR larger part of the movie than he could have ended up...he could have been Venom to Spider-Man 3.

  4. I think you're missing the point that Deadpool is not going to upset THAT many people.

    And the revamp of Pyro, I for one, thought was fucking awesome. And I was not offended by the Juggernaut revamp, either...it made sense in the context of the rest of the plot; and to keep Juggernaut more true, they would have had to base an entire movie off of him which was not something they were going to do.

    The fact is, revamping Deadpool is far from being terrible, and it could actually be good.

    This "they live to fuck with us, they want to fuck us and see how far they can fuck-push us" is a little over-dramatic, don't ya think?

  5. Which you can't facotr in together. While MOST wrestling fans enjoy action movies, A LOT of action movie guys don't give a shit about wrestling.

    The "we don't know who Deadpool is, but we like comic book" audience is small. The Ryan Reynolds drawing money just based on his name on a movie is small, too. Those four audiences are not BIG audiences, so when you combine them, you will definitely have some over-lapping and you could find out that you may either have the same number of people or LESS going to see it that 12 Rounds has right now.

  6. I was using "you" in the general term for everyone hating on this movie and the handling of Deadpool. You just happen to be the most recent example, G.

    Success is definitely relative to how big a budget it got, but truthfully I don't even think 12 Rounds has made its money back yet, has it? That's not a good basis for your argument, because I'd wager thre are far more "OMG JOHN CENA!" fans than there are Deadpool/Ryan Reynolds fans.

  7. I think the issue is, despite all the fanboy-ism and exaggerated crying, that Deadpool isn't just a secondary character. It's not like the Juggernaut, where you can change things and have tiny reprocussions. Deadpool, especially with a legit star like Reynolds attached, is a potential franchise in himself.

    If they made a Deadpool film, faithful to the comics, starring Ryan Reynolds... it would be a financial success. Anyone who has any doubt about that at all doesn't just doesn't comprehend the popularity of any of the things or people involved in that kind of a project.

    The Deadpool series has an average readership of about 45,000 readers. Ryan Reynolds has had 2 films break fifty million dollars (one of which is 4 years old, the other 5), and hasn't broken 40 mil since. Explain to me how doubting the surefire success of such a series represents a lack of understanding of "the popularity of any of the things or people involved". Watchmen had more name value and insane buzz and yet still completely overwhelmed to the tune of what is going to be a massive loss for Warner Brothers. And that one was about as faithful as they come.

    Without the stats, I was going to say the same thing really...

    Ryan Reynolds hasn't exactly been a "box office hit" for a long time, and even when he was raking in a lot of money, it was a handful of years ago....and Deadpool, as cool as he is, has never been the most popular comicbook out there.

    There are easily 20 other Marvel characters far more popular, actually.

    And really, you saw pictures, and you don't know how they're going to have it end up...so really, lets put the cart in front of the horse some more.

    Aaaaaaand? I'm pretty sure the movies, all of the Marvel ones, have followed their own universes. Like the old school "Amazing Spider-Man" and "Adventures of Spider-Man" and such shit...they were the same guy, different "universes" that stories sometimes were similar, but other times weren't.

    It's creative license.
