Lordmandeep Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I will admit I did not like Deadpool much as it did nothing to me as a comic book movie as it was more a spoof. However I do agree out of all the comic book movies it was the most liked by the average film goer. (I think superhero fans liked Civil War more). However I do not see the franchise of Deadpool lasting long unless like iron man he is thrown into a group setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeper hit and fantastic movie though for sure. Rogue One will be remembered forever as part of a timeless franchise and Deadpool is ultimately just another comic book movie. A good one to be sure but let's not be silly. ?? rogue one is an average star wars spin off, deadpools face is more recognisable than the main character in rogue one (couldn't even remember her name, point proven ?). So I disagree with you when you say it will be remembered more when deadpools has already become an icon in just 1 year ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I believe down is the only way for deadpool, but it can't be denied that hes become very widely known since 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well movie number two is featuring Cable and Domino along with some other characters and movie three is featuring the X-Force. So I think they know they can't have a film that's too similar to the first one in terms of story. The first one was actually supposed to have other characters in it but they didn't have the budget for it. But to be completely honest with you, I can see the GA maybe getting sick of Deadpool but not comic book fans. They clearly love the character. It's all about just making sure they keep the stories fresh in the film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FantasticBeasts Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Well I think that the cause of the disagreement is what each of you defies as an event-movie. I think that I would call an event a movie that pretty much everyone knows about and that gets people who are not casual movie-goers to get to see this. It is a movie that is not just doing well compared to other movies but compared to other cultural phenomenoms from other fields as well like music,gaming,TV etc. That being said, I wouldn't call Deadpool an event. It was a big and rather unexpected hit but its numbers are far from astonishing. But my definition of an event is very strict. I don't think I can call a movie an event If it doesn't gets to a billion at least ww...And even then, I can thing of a bunch of movies that grossed 1b and yet don't feel like an event to me. Also, I forgot to mention that in order for a film to be considered an event, it has to be very successful on a global scale and Deadpool's numbers OS are kind of mediocre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Don't kid yourself guys.... Rogue one is a star wars film in the end. The Sw fanbase will needlessly obess over it for years and to end time likely. Look at Rots...it's rather average but it's still known today rather well because it's star wars.

jb007 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Event movies have huge early buzz with people following them for months before release supplemented with good pre-sales. I don't think Deadpool qualifies with that criteria. But it was a phenom in its after release performance. But that does not make it an event. BvS was an event. Its run was pathetic. RO is an event and the early run seems to be pointing towards a phenomenal run too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most important character in Rogue One is named Darth Vader, and it is likely the film will be remembered as him at his absolute best. I don't think that will be forgotten any time soon. They carved his face on the National Cathedral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas the first stand alone Deadpool film isn't going to be forgotten about because it posted gigantic numbers for an R rated film and because it was fantastic.

EmpireCity Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Anyone expecting an increase needed to remember that it was no normal Tuesday with 3 brand new big openers having previews. Staying flat is a really good thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall I'd say reception to RO has been great. Deadpool simply had much more room to grow in terms of popularity and box office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't with how folks like to throw around the word "average" and "mediocre," when it comes to box office numbers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People still debate endlessly about movies like Attack of the Clones and Phantom Menace. Rogue One has the distinction of being the first Star Wars anthology/spin off films and one of Disney's first experimental Star Wars films. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
