Thanks for those, LightYears!

Tough, morally flexible, and young enough to carry their own franchise for ten to twelve years? Welcome to Hollywood, X-Force!

Deadpool was X-Force's enemy, not its founder. Cable was its founder and leader. They're really screwing stuff up. What's the point in having X-Force if they're nothing like X-Force?

PhoenixRising

Now you know how I feel about the Avengers, sum1. And I agree with you, by the way. They're only doing this to promote Deadpool and using Deadpool to promote X-Force because audiences aren't familiar with Cable yet.

sum1

It pisses me off no end.

PhoenixRising

Just like it pisses me off not having two of the founding Avengers in the Avengers movies. So just know that I sympathize with you on this.

But has anything in the trailer convinced you one way or another about the early screening opinions?

sum1

The only thing it's convinced me is that I'm going to be pissed off about X-Force.

PhoenixRising

But what if the X-Force movie focuses on Cable and doesn't have Deadpool?

LightYears

Not possible. There's absolutely no doubt that Deadpool is going to be in the upcoming X-Force movie.

sum1

Yeah, that's what I figured.

PhoenixRising

That sounds stupid. What's the point of having Deadpool in an X-Force movie? It seemed to make more sense to simply use Deadpool 2 as a backdoor pilot for X-Force and then launch their own movie once the audience is familiar with Cable and the others. There's no need to have Deadpool there.

sum1

They want to cash in on his popularity. With our luck, he'll be the leader of X-Force, for 's sake.

It's Wolverine&Cyclops all over again.

sum1

Kind of.

PhoenixRising

OMG, they'd better not do that. I think they need to give Cable a chance to establish himself.

sum1

Don't expect too much. Anyway, it'll probably all end in about two years, when Disney reboots the X-Men in the MCU.
