    To be honest, the only time I wanted to watch Cartoon Network was way back when Justice League aired (2001-2006). I didnt have cable then.

     

    Many of the cartoon designs dont appeal to me. Cartoony is fine but a lot of them  are too ugly.

    I thought animation was supposed to get better with time.

    I saw Deadpool 2 earlier today.

     

    I liked it, but imo it was a step down from the first.

     

    Pros:

    Humor for the most part. 

     

    Action sequences. (David Leitch's John Wick skills prepared him for the action in this.)

     

    Brolin and Zazie as Cable/Domino in acting/dialogue/character.

     

    Colossus vs a classic X-men character in the final battle (The way this person is defeated was the most funny and unexpected to me.)

     

    IMO the best end credit scene of all time 

     

    Cons:

     

    Lack of setup /background info on Cable. We saw some glimpses, but I wish they would have gone in more detail about his future setting (I know his backstory is convoluted, but they could have given some more details considering he is the 2nd main character) (Domino too)

     

    Negasonic was underused in this film. I feel her biting head to head with DP was one of the best  things about the original

     

    They tried to make DP and Russell/Rusty have an emotional connection but it didnt grab me .  

     

    The first hour seems a bit "loose" and could have been more tightly edited/paced. 

    DP 1 had a straightforward "Revenge" story and flowed better. 

     

    Lack of a true villain. I knew Cable would be the "anatagonist" initially and then team up with DP , but the character who dies at the end was not developed well. 

    I would have rewritten it to have a character from the prison and who Colossus fights as the main villains .They were both X-men and DP villains so I thought they would be used more prominently.

     

    A group of characters is used essentially for a bad joke. Some of them arent classic, but they deserved better than what happened in the movie. Especially since it was their first appearance in an x-men movie.

     

    Overall: A good movie but I think they should tone down the meta/joke stuff and work a little more on the story/plot more.

     

    Deadpool 2      7.5/10

    Deadpool           8.5/10
