Still can't believe that Ms. Beetz beat out Janelle Monae. Janelle was BORN to play Domino...and is also drop dead gorgeous to boot.
That said...I hate the changes to Domino, my apologies, but that afro looks awful. Janelle's pompodour would have looked WAY better if she had landed the role... |

[QUOTE=Dr Kain;720670]That one picture of Apocalypse two years ago was all we needed to know the movie was shit and it turned out to be shit.QUOTE]
I'm sorry, but if we're going by that, Days of Future past was crap because everyone thought "one picture" of Quicksilver was hysterically bad, right? The way how a comic book character looks does not indicate how successful a film will be. Apocalypse had a few pacing, character, and plot issues, which had absolutely nothing to do with how Apocalypse looked. With that being said, it would be best to wait until this movie comes out to determine whether it's crap. |

Hate the look for Domino.
Agree with Kain about the hair. Hate it for Domino.

Most likely this is in part a budget decision, a rated R Deadpool movie taking place on Earth is probably going to have far less money allotted for make-up and effects than something like GotG and it's need to make fake worlds look realistic and make people look like they're aliens from space.

Hell, I still find it odd now to see Batman giving his gadget to Goffrey. lol Except Apocalypse did turn out to be a shit movie. Magneto is the only thing that keeps it from being as bad as X3.

I can't agree with you at all. I thought Sophia was a worse Jean. All I saw was Sansa's little bitch ass telling her handmaiden she doesn't care about her throughout the entire movie. Sansa is the last worthless GoT character left alive and as such, I can't see anyone else when I look at Sophia.

They've since released a new shot of Domino that is a close-up portrait. It appears that, for the film, the white spot around her eye is from vitiligo, a condition that causes the loss of pigmentation in the skin. Pretty interesting take on Domino's skin mutation, and it looks pretty accurate to the complexion of real-life occurrences of vitiligo.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DGGDQ9jV0AEdkgl.jpg:large All of you disliking it, maybe just don't see the movie and vote with your lack of dollars. The rest of us will enjoy it because we're not so beholden to rigid translation that we're not open to reinterpretation.

I honestly don't mind the new Domino look. It's not like the Fox X-Men movies have a particularly great track record when it comes to the movie characters looking like their comic counterparts. I mean, Wolverine is a whole foot taller than he should be.

Again, had nothing to do with the look of the Antagonist. The film had many problems overall, and the design for Apocalypse was a the bottom of the list. Many of us enjoyed the first Deadpool, but some of the main characters looked nothing like their counterparts. Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Copycat, and Ajax don't look like they do in the comics. Like I said, for a first picture I think it's just meh, but I'm cool with the character design AND will wait until I see the movie and find out which direction they are going. Marvel/Disney, Fox, and Sony do not set these movies in the 616 universe. They are else world stories that keep the core of the main character who they are, and make sure everything comes across well on screen. Just like ANY film sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Some of you guys on here are such Turds, and you know who you are. Always have something to say about race every chance you get. Can't we just get through one thread without racist stuff being thrown around?
Yeah it is a comic, yeah it is made up, so why does it have to be exactly like the comic? If they had done that Wolverine would have yellow spandex all these years. He would have been shorter. Jackman has been playing Wolverine for the past ten years almost being way too tall and that is ok but One character must have white skin to be ok? I love the spin on the character. I think taking it in an original direction is a great idea and I believe they did it with a great originality with the skin pigmentation idea. Honestly all it is is an inverse Domino had light skin and a dark eye. This actress has darker skin with a light eye. I love it. Since they did well on the first movie I will trust them with this one too. I think it is going to be good because of originality and effort that they put into characters like Domino. They could have taken the easy way out and had her look exactly like the comic book character but that would be an easy out. I applaud them for effort and originality. |

No one is talking about race. We are talking about Domino having white skin. You know, as in the color white. Like the background of the text box I am typing in. Not the peachy color of skin that is what white people have.

They could have taken the easy way out and had her look exactly like the comic book character but that would be an easy out. I applaud them for effort and originality. It works both ways though...Stallone still looks and sounds more like Dredd than Karl Urban ever did, but we can all agree how much of a wreck that film was (despite being more faithful to the books in terms of look, costumes, and story elements than the remake was.) I should also mention that once they announced that a black actress was playing Domino, nobody should have been surprised that her skin wasn't bleached. Domino is not a green space alien (like Gamora,) so to do so would have given the left so much ammunition with allegations of reverse blackface and whitewashing that the media would have had a field day with it, and it would have brought on a lot of bad publicity. Even with a character like Deadpool who prints money, you don't want bad publicity going into any project...period. I'm tired of the Hugh Jackman analogy when comparing this, because EVERYONE was laughing, bitching, and moaning at the first images of Wolverine when the original X-Men film debuted, (just like everyone groaned when that first image of Ledger's Joker debuted.) Anyone who says they weren't, you are a liar. And honestly, the look in that first film was and still is really rough. Hugh really did not feel like Logan to many of us up until that fight in the X-Mansion against Striker's goons in X2. Of course we should always look for the performance to win us over, but first impressions me an a lot, as they can both build and kill hype for a film, and this one was really underwhelming and disappointing. I still don't like what I see, but hopefully Ms. Beetz hits it out of the park and has us "haters" eating crow. First impressions though are just that...first impressions.

When did they announce this? This is the first time I learned Domino was going to even be in the movie. I only heard Cable was going to be in it and that Josh Brolin may be playing him (even though Stephen Lang should be Cable as Brolin is Thanos).

Ryan Reynolds tweeted it out about two months ago.

I have no idea who those characters are though. I had never heard of them until the movie. I thought they were made up for ite. Ajax is a Hulk villain anyway and Negasonic came out after Age of Apocalypse (which is to me the series finale of X-Men), so I couldn't give a crap about them. Deadpool and Colossus were all that mattered and they were accurate.

More like almost five months ago - the tweet announcing her casting was back on March 9th.

It's not about whether or not you knew who these characters are, they still existed in the comics and had certain looks before they were brought to life on the big screen. The creators of the film decided against those looks, however, you confirmed what I said earlier. Get the main characters done right at their core (Deadpool), and tell a good story which translates into a good film. I can't stress enough that we here are the minority. A big percentage of the general audience does not know who these characters are, we do because it's what we love.

She is cute...
And yeah I just don't feel the afro look for Domino, not trying to be racist or anything with that comment, just at least try to keep part of the comic look as much as you possibly can. |
