EXCLUSIVE: ‘Deadpool’ Solo Movie Confirmed, Ryan Reynolds Attached To ‘Wolverine’ Spin-Off

'Deadpool' spinoff in works at Fox

YES!  I thought the early Deadpool scenes with Reynolds were awesome - hopefully they'll make this a closer tie to the comics.  Either explain Weapon XI as a clone of him or maybe make this new Deadpool a clone of the original Wade? 

You missed a dozen posts ago where we demonstrated that the only way Reese gets the photo Sarah has taken at the end of T1 is if she's impregnated by Reese first.  The photo proves Reese was always John Connor's father.

No, I read that, but re-read my last paragraph and see if that makes sense.  Here's a possible "chronology of events"

- Sarah Connor has a baby with some other guy.  Don't know who, don't care.
- Skynet takes over and John Connor grows to become the leader of the human resistance for whatever reason
- Skynet decides to send a T-800 back in time, so Connor sends one of his best men, Kyle Reese to protect him
- Reese travels back in time and impregnates Sarah before she gets pregnant from someone else
- Reese dies, Sarah gets her picture taken and heads off to raise John

At this point, he does not have a picture of her and the future is radically altered.  John is not the man he was from a DNA perspective, but he is prepared from birth to become the leader of the resistance.  Knowing it is his destiny, he makes choices that lead him to the leadership role his previous self discovered more naturally.

- In the future, this different John remains a threat, so Skynet sends a T-800 back in time. 
- At this point, John knows Reese is his father, so he sends Reese back after him.  Again.
- This time, John knows its his dad and he gives Reese the picture.  Maybe this version of John is sentimental because of his different DNA or maybe its just that he now knows its his dad or maybe he just didn't have a picture of his mom in the initial timeline because that John didn't know what was coming.

This is the point at which we see Terminator 1.  From this point on, there is no reason for anything to change.  Reese has the picture, saves Sarah, dies.  John is born, becomes the leader, knows Reese is the father, gives him the picture, sends him back in time with the picture.  Its an endless loop from that point that has no reason to change unless something else in the timeline causes a change. 

I've always thought the intent was something similar to this and I find it fairly plausible (outside of machines taking over and time travel, etc.!), but that's just my opinion.  We do know from the TV show that history can be completely re-written.  Hence the T3 storyline becoming null and void when Sarah avoids her death by jumping into the future.

Ah... I was confused... I thought you'd been arguing against Reese always being John Connor's father.

I'll argue against that . Why couldn't John Conner have had a different father initially?  Let's say Sarah has a kid out of wedlock and that kid becomes the leader of the human resistance in the future via whatever means.  Maybe he has a strong character or its just dumb luck, whatever the cause he becomes a leader for what remains of humanity. 

So Reese travels back in time and gets Sarah pregnant instead and sets John and Sarah's lives on a completely different path.  John ends up with different DNA and obviously a different childhood being chased by time traveling robots.  However, being told from birth that he is destined to lead the resistance, he naturally makes choices that position him into the same role of a future leader.  We learn in the TV show that he now knows his father is from the future, so he saves that picture of his mom to give to his future dad. 

Play it through a second time – John with Kyle DNA gives the picture to Kyle and Kyle goes back, sleeps with Sarah and Jon is born.  This creates an endless time loop where John’s original dad no longer factors into the mix.  At any given point, we are likely not watching time unfold via the way it did the first time, but rather through downstream iterations of time as history has been changed by time travel. 

I’m not saying this was the writer’s intent, but seems plausible enough to me.

I might take people up on the offer of the X-wings. Depends.

If people just want the figures, then it might be easier for me to get the sets and send out the figures than the other way around.

I'm going to want to keep the ladders with the sets I buy extra.

I'd be interested in both figures if you want to work something out.  Just let me know!

For any of you who have the skirted and non skirted versions of the trooper... is the non-skirt version something you could make yourself by simply cutting the skirt off? 

I think you could slide it out pretty easily as its tucked in under the belt. I haven't opened mine up just yet and haven't done much "customizing" of my loose figs, but looks to me like you could cut it out with a small blade. Here's a pic for reference:




That being said, it sounds like the no skirt version is fairly plentiful at this point with online online retailers getting in the with skirt versions. I wouldn't pay any extra for the skirt-free trooper, but if your goal is to get one with and one without, it shouldn't be hard to track down the initial skirt-free release.

The pig was dressed suggestively, she was practically begging for it. Damn Canucks. 

Ew.

The plot thickens!

I thought the cream cheese bagels were only wild internet rumors.

Wish I could go back in time and kick myself in the nuts.
