Hannibal King = Deadpool


His personality and everything are exactly the same as Deadpool.

The only difference is their abilities.

reply

That has more to do with the actors 'trade-mark' smart-azz attitude.

Otherwise, King doesn't "talk to the audience", doesn't have delusions, is still human, etc.

Dude... You are just now noticing that actors play versions of themselves on screen? I'd say about 90% of ALL actors play themselves on screen...

There are a very, very select few actors who can transcend their own personalities to become somebody entirely different on screen... I love Clint Eastwood's films, particularly the man with no name, even his latest ventures have been good.. BUT IT'S CLINT, playing a character.

Daniel Day Lewis, just an example. People that you have to go, oh wow, I didn't even realize that was him (without excessive makeup/costumes). If you are looking at virtually the same person in different movies and can't recognize them, they are great... And the list is really, really small. Think about it, the Rock? Reynolds? Morgan Freeman? This list is pages long, you get the idea, all of those actors play themselves, with minor adjustments for character and plot, at the end you're watching the people, very blatantly acting...

It's fun, I guess I envy the people who can see Morgan Freeman in the Dark Knight Rises, and Shawshank Redemption and see extremely different people, even Morgan freeman in Lucky Number Slevin, Driving Miss Daisy, and those dumb Now you See Me Movies. Playing God in Bruce Almighty? Lucy, Wanted, Se7en, It's ALL HIM. There is like literally no talent to most of these actors, it's all about who you know in that business, and a whole lot of luck... BY THE WAY I hate picking on Morgan Freeman he was just an easy target to make an easy example of films I recall. I very much enjoy 'some' of the films he has been in. But to praise these people as masters of art or something... lol it's a joke, they are a farce (90%).. It's the writers and on part the directors that make a movie really good...

Since were talking about quality.. This movie sucked bad... Jessica Alba, another example, see it if you want to, or be blind to your perpetual celebrity worship as if I speak blasphemy for sharing the truth with you, you might not see it, or just see it a different way, I just ask you to look objectively at the roles, and actors in their respective parts, playing themselves is all... Some are very good at it, and people like their personalities so it works, sometimes even the accents play, but that's not so hard is it? The great ones don't often shine out because well like I said, it's the writers and directors who make the movie great, with some great assistance from the actors no doubt, but to put on a true farce and completely alter your genetic personality on screen, is truly remarkable.

None of that found here, just a bunch of junk, and some killing vampires and people, stupid lines and weak CGI, so if you're into numbing yourself and switching off, I guess you could find something a lot better... lol, but hey, its OK for that... I guess.. Maybe...Wesley Snipes is a great example of a terrible actor playing his terrible self. Hence... not so much Snipes these last 10 years? Heard he's an arrogant prick, at least he was in his prime... Character shows, it worked in Blade... He couldn't play a black slave like a good actor such as Samuel Jackson, one of maybe the handful who are excellent at acting like other people... No, Snipes is too arrogant. Anyway, enough of this... Sorry

Did you not hear the timer? It is time for your meds again.

Seriously. Take ALL of them this time, not just the pretty pills. You need your full dosages otherwise you go off on some weird-azzed rant that is not only off topic but off base.

Sheesh! 

reply

Haha yeah my bad, my phone was on silent. I get bored and rant occasionally, not often, and I type really fast so it comes out nearly as fast as I'm thinking... So sorry for your inconvenience.

Here is a genius idea, I think it's been thrown around before... Just don't read it. Oh, but you wanted to be funny and pretend everyone reading your comment wished they could +1 it and pat your inflated pretentious delusional sense of self-worth and intelligence.

At least I don't say weird-azzed like some dumb-ass teenager, kind of makes me think all of the above is true, and your are just some retarded college aged kid who thinks they know it all. Have fun.

I invited you to just drop it about 2 posts ago. Now, you seem like you had a rough childhood, daddy not play with you enough? Maybe too much? It's ok... Some people have to have the last word... Then you get my post "flagged" for what, you're a little baby. Maybe, just maybe you have enough sense to realize you are on the losing end of an argument you can't win against a smarter person than you... But more likely you just felt like levying some kind of control over the matter and had it flagged... haha, that says enough about you kid.

I admitted it was a rambling post, I didn't go back and edit it, I just rambled on.. I suggested a few small extremely simple alternatives to posting, like, uhhh... scrolling down, I even told you how to do it with a keyboard in any 2014 browser format! You keep trying to sound funny with freshman college frat dude insults when really, it just falls short, and publicizes an acute ignorance or really low self-esteem.

"sugar-britches" it's really funny wow, my tampon is stuck up my vagina? Man you are one clever original kid... Really, the people reading your posts are all laughing and admiring your divine eloquence and intellectual capacity for deciphering nuances in text exchange and did I mention being so funny? You really are bro, don't worry, It's not that you can't get a girlfriend someday, it's just that girls don't like you when they see who you are. Am I getting warm?

Some people can't help it, they are just on an extreme spectrum.. If you are on the political side, you're the type of person who blocks abortion clinics by force. The old adage fits perfectly here in that you just can't teach the unwilling or incapable. Put yourself in another's shoes... Or, to put in in laymen terms and 1 syllable words you can understand, you can't fix stupid.

Please.. For the love of god just drop it, flag the last one because I made you look stupid? Try and flag this one I'm sure you will. No hate speech here! no direct insults! just observations based on what I assume is a much higher level of education than you posses, I know things have always been a little slower to catch up with the modern world down there in the South (am I getting even warmer?), but try to keep up and stop making me reply to your posts when you use unoriginal childish insults and maybe this won't be so one sided.

Remember, this all started with you trying to be funny, and falling short, then getting upset, ego.. Put it to rest, or if it makes you sleep better 'be the better man'! Put it away, seriously.. Just stop.. Or flag! because one flagged post means it just made you upset and look foolish, all of my posts flagged, well that could mean the opposite to the few who happen upon this forum and see the exchange... Seems like your last resort... Say something stupid, flag my post for no violations and hope a mod sides with you, or just DROP IT, since you started the crap, yet you still want the last word.

I'd wager a response comes shortly.. You just can't help it, your ego is so damaged and inflated with the underlying self-esteem issues you can't let this go and go about your day. Me? I'm just having fun, and bored, and you are a really easy target man, but you know, it's not like I'm going to actually convince you that you're stupid. So, ironically I play the fool as well -willing though- as you seem to be forced to play it throughout life, they say ignorance is bliss, so be happy friend.

reply

Wow. You are still going on trying to divert your stupidity. You are pathetic. You are such a pansy you couldn't just say, "Oops. I typed that in a hurry." Instead you try to turn it around so it is on someone else.

You have a pathetic life, don't you?

And why would I flag your idiotic post if I replied to it? Also, don't be such a p^ssy about it. I'm sure it didn't get deleted because you said something stupid. If that was the case, you'd be banned from the site completely.

So, please just be a man and admit you screwed up your first post and tried to pin your stupidity on someone else.

I know you won't. You are too desperate for attention.

reply

[deleted]

OH look at how stupid I am


That is the ONLY thing you've ever gotten right in your entire life.

But, now, I'm bored with you. I'm going to report your post and put you on ignore.

Buh-bye, come stain.

reply

You don't even understand sarcasm... You quote my post out of context, then get it deleted so it looks as if I'm saying something different... I think anyone watching knows what is what anyway lol.

And I point out that I SAW you being that way! Some people's parents just don't like them, and you can't blame them, that's the sad part. I feel bad for them, and I feel bad for you in a way.

The guy who realizes he has been destroyed in all aspects of argument resorts to the last choice... Fight or flight... and tried to fight, really did! But he realized how much smarter I am (sorry to sound arrogant but it's obvious). So they go with the 'flight' response, the online equivalent of "I'm going to report you!" or "I'm putting you on ignore"

I wish I could end this fun with a good self-demeaning quote out of context from you, but your entire posts have been filled with nonsensical stuff, and well, your intelligence speaks for itself... Had to resort to flags lol! I've never been flagged... Just to show you how bad of a light you cast on your own ability, fight or flight... Bet you always choose flight in real life too.. The scheming kind, but bad at it... lol, anyway

Even though I did nothing wrong, I guess the Admins just delete posts flagged to save time without analyzing the contents. If this post gets deleted wow, really guys? This one sends no direct insults, just conversation. The others were kind of low blows too, I guess you can delete for breaching original topic now?

P.S. Nick, you really gave me a good time. And sincerely.. If you are over 18 years old I truthfully feel sorry for you. No argument basis, not even an attempt at backing up your argument because it was a statement garnished with petty insults, just your type... Should I flag that? - He basically just called me some names for making a long off topic post, and I retorted while bored at work and this has been the back and forth, wish he wouldn't have gotten his ego hurt so badly that you all could see the whole exchange, it was pretty funny, I mean, it was really one sided and you almost feel bad for him... At least I had a good time... Some people just have low self-esteem, combined with being dumb it makes for a bad combination (SOME PEOPLE MODS, not direct insults!), he couldn't counter his arguments with anything but petty insults, the kind you say to your buddies in 9th grade. Aren't you supposed to be 18 to use IMDb?

reply

Wow...you have one of the biggest chips on your shoulder I've ever seen.

Try again without trolling this time...troll

reply

Pretty much. You can also include Green Lantern and Deadpool in Wolverine film to that list. I'm surprised people aren't tired of Reynolds yet. He's basically played the character of Deadpool like 3 times already and yet people really seem to not get enough of him. I really don't get his appeal.

Not to mention all those movies were absolute crap and bombed. How does he still get roles?

~What if this is as good as it gets?!~

reply

I am personally tired of Reynolds AND Deadpool.

reply

personally i can't get enough of Deadpool

reply

Because he is white and attractive lol

i'm not bad I'm just drawn that way-Jessica Rabbit

reply

Yeah. That makes sense with the genre of which the main audience is male. All those guys watching to admire his white masculinity. +1 for critical thinking skills.

reply

Well if you got it, flaunt it! ;-/

IMO he's been playing van WIlder over and over again his whole career except in Amityville Horror. So he's played van Wilder/Hal Jordan/Hannibal King/Deadpool a crapton of times.

If I didn’t talk the way I talk I wouldn’t know who the hell I am, Sean Connery on his accent

reply

Unless you have seen "the voices" and "buried" you should not assume you know how great of an actor he is.His portrayal of deadpool was ridiculous to me but this does not take away from his aforementioned performances.

reply

[deleted]

watch the nines if you think he's just van wilder, and the voices.

His acting is fine. Sometimes it's even great. Nothing wrong with reynolds, just some bad movie choices he's been in.

reply

I was about to say! You have to be offered good parts to show "your chops!" Without seeing him in anything good, I believe he's probably very good, but this "flippant" persona has done him much good! He's almost typecast for dreck! King was funny though and it worked out better than other projects like "Wolverine: Origins!" I keep forgetting he goes back to teen years with reoccurring character Jimmy Meltrigger on "Roseanne!"

Maybe Oswalt helped in the writing! They had to keep it light with how much Snipes was killing the set dynamics with some dark cloud over him! Maybe the taxman cometh!  

Ryan Reynolds was already well famous for that type of character before he even knew who Deadpool was. He was well famous before they made this movie, and they hired him to play that type of character, not to play Hannibal King
