I had previously expressed disappointment in the teaser.  I withdraw that.  That trailer looks REALLY good

[tristy]

What symbol will be on his chest, and what powers will he have? Literally everything Venom has in the way of aesthetics and powers are modeled after Peter Parker, so that begs the question... no web slinging? “spider”sense? What about the symbol on his chest, that came from Spider-Man too.

I love the look, and the seemingly horror premise they’re going for, but it’s still really weird to do a solo Venom movie where the symbiote has never came into contact with Parker, and Eddie Brock is the first host.

Well it was rumored Tom Holland was on set to film a cameo.  So maybe that?  Really not sure, since Spider-Man takes place in NYC and this seems to be in San Francisco..

Spoiler

Supposedly the cameo is an after credits scene, where he’s interviewing for an internship or something where Brock works.

Maybe when it first manifests it needs a model and sees Spider-Man on a TV or a newspaper.

That trailer looks way better than the last one.

Am I right in assuming Venom isn't being included in the MCU? Shame if so, Tom Hardy would be a sick addition for Phase 4.

[tristy]

The only connection Venom has to the MCU is Holland’s Peter Parker, which Sony owns anyway.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Thought so. I knew Sony owned the characters but I didn't know if there was a Spiderman-type deal where he could appear for both.

Wait... has it always been symbi-OAT? I always thought it was symbi-AUGHT.

[Maxx]

It's obviously not impossible for him to cross over into the MCU, and casting Tom Hardy certainly helps their chances.

Oh good, I'm not crazy.

[Benji]

Yeah, I think I was sold by "why would we do that?"

Ahaha holy shit, that's amazing.

[Lint]

So...uhhh....this happened

 

[Lint]

So Deadpool 2.  Don't know if I agree with the review that say its better then the first, but at worst, its just as good as the first one

[Benjamin]

Deadpool 2 was great. The first one was super average to me, and quite plodding. This was so much better than the first.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

I definitely think they had more fun with this one. If the series continues, I can see them expanding the universe with more bigger names and doing some great stuff with it.

Honestly I felt Deadpool 2 was better on all fronts than the first. And it's also a lot to do because they got a clean slate for this one, didn't have to rush to rewrite a film that was effectively cancelled and only saved from Reynolds and co. going rogue and leaking stuff about the first.

This film was just better, it had pacing, it had a direction and focus and really built itself up throughout the story that they wrote. It just felt connected, and because they managed to get all the table-setting done in the first, they managed to really focus on hitting it out of the park instantly.

Better action, better characters, better story, better jokes, and it sure as hell even managed to make me emotional a few times without ever losing its funny bone. It's one of those rare films that just knows exactly what it needs to do and does that with style and grace, and a shitload of toilet humour for good measure.

And I just loved all the cameos and reference being slid in all over the place.
