**SPOILERS**

Posted by: Dorfman on Feb 15, 11:55 in response to Dorfman's post i don't consider Deadpool dark. It's funny, and it's...

Something happening at the end killing his GF, and more would have made the film dark.   This was just anto hero fun.  

Article about Deadpool spawning more R-Rated superhero movies. It mentions LOBO, The Crow, Shazam amongst others tomcat90 Feb 15, 10:47

You forgot the ? It's speculation, opinion. {nm} Antibody Feb 15, 10:52

Shazam has never been R-Rated, Shazam can be a PG-Rated movie if they want. {nm} reelreptile Feb 15, 10:55

Shazam??? R rated would totally be opposite the history of the comic. {nm} Baron_Darcon Feb 15, 11:35

Any suggestions as to which will be the next 'Dark' Marvel breakout? {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 15, 10:59

Or non-Marvel come to that...no doubt studios will be dusting down obscure projects from the reject pile as we speak. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 15, 11:02

Marvel's never really had a "dark" film {nm} Moviesnob Feb 15, 11:03

I take that back. Blade was pretty dark {nm} Moviesnob Feb 15, 11:04

No time like the present :) {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 15, 11:08

like i said yesterday, i think its wiser to be more fun than dark {nm} Moviesnob Feb 15, 11:16

Isn't that where Deadpool struck the sweet spot: Dark and fun. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 15, 11:26

I havent seen it, but the tone of the marketing was the exact opposite of dark. I'd be surprised audiences responded so positively if the Moviesnob Feb 15, 11:27

Maybe we have a different definition of 'dark'. I'd describe it as gallows humour and hyperreality rather than an oppressive drear hyperzeitgeist Feb 15, 11:39

then i would say "dark humor" as opposed to "dark film" {nm} Moviesnob Feb 15, 11:51

I stand corrected :) {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 15, 11:55

i don't consider Deadpool dark. It's funny, and it's anti hero, and yeah he makes fun of things that should be serious, but not dark movie {nm} Dorfman Feb 15, 11:54

**SPOILERS** Dorfman Feb 15, 11:55

Punisher {nm} jwammo Feb 15, 11:29

didnt break out {nm} Moviesnob Feb 15, 11:30

Even so, the most recent Punisher flick was very dark. Maybe they haven't had a dark hit, but they have been willing to go there. {nm} Willroast Feb 15, 15:05

They've had a lot of success with dark shows. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, etc. {nm} masonacj Feb 15, 12:04

Moon knight {nm} Baron_Darcon Feb 15, 11:44

Would like to see an R rated Legion of Monsters movie DanU Feb 15, 12:02

how about DC's dark universe? seems to me it might lean towards an R rating. not saying it should or shouldnt, but it has the potential {nm} horrorfanatic Feb 15, 11:30

Well, while we're at it why don't they just dive right into X-rated Wonder Woman? Scratch that, it's already been done. {nm} MoneyMagnet Feb 15, 12:07
