Couldn't make the Daily Bugle set in today's woke landscape!

Sorry to disappoint you but I wasn't one of them, also very immature to be making jabs at me, I'm guessing you're one of those people who people who would call someone a bigot because they didn't like something about a movie.

If someone has themselves has the presence of thought to drop a particular discussion (which I appreciate), then I suggest others do not continue it. 

Making jabs at someone is no way to behave either.

I stopped but of course there are those who love to cause arguments and like to make jabs even though I said to move on.

No need for sarcasm or any more teasing like a child, just move on and let's just talk about Lego.

[Mandalorianknight]

Geez guys, I think it's pretty well covered. I don't think every individual member needs to chime in and go "well I think you're wrong, @Lego Nostalgia".

Yeah, it's subjective whether or not someone likes a movie. You can't really call an opinion wrong. It's also true that the marvels, by a lot of metrics, really just wasn't that good. You're arguing past eachother, and starting to escalate it from going after opinions to making implications about people's character, which.. c'mon. Don't imply that kind of stuff. 

 

 

If we can actually just move on, I am wondering what Falconfan's old comments mean in regards to deadpool 3. That's 100% not a trailer for a movie ages 6-12 should be watching in any capacity. I wonder if we'll get something just generally TVA related, or some sort of Wolverine set allegedly based on '97 or just general X-men that features his Deadpool and Wolveriene suit.

What old comments were those? That we should expect something Deadpool related? The best I can think of is what you suggested that we get something Wolverine related that also features Deadpool.

yes, I’m ignoring Firestar in the Daily Bugle. Not for any particular reason. I just forgot about her (just like Marvel has).

speaking of Firestar, I was very disappointed in her minifigure. Feels very incomplete without leg printing for her trademark red boots.

His comment may have just been hinting at there being sets based on movies coming out this year (Minions, Wicked, and whatever else we’re getting) rather than hinting at Deadpool and Wolverine sets.

I don't remember the exact qoute, but I know it was here- IIRC someone was lamenting we'd never get deadpool 3 sets and he said "never say never"

Oh okay, that is intriguing. Hopefully it pans out somehow for the Deadpool fans. I'm not personally a fan of him but I would like to see some of the X-Men characters who are likely to show up in the movie or some of the non-X-Men characters too, like Elektra.

I think a best case likely scenario (but also what I hope for) is that 76283 ends up being a Deadpool Helmet just branded under Deadpool or X-Men, kind of like how Carnage and Venom were branded under Venom or Carnage on the box. The set would not be directly based on Deadpool & Wolverine but also it scratches that itch for fans that want a LEGO Deadpool set this year by being an 18+ set like the other helmets were but it's a Deadpool set without Karens freaking out. 

@BrickBob Studpants I know this is a inside joke on the forum but seriously speaking, IF there was a world where there wasn't anything to worry about Karens and LEGO WAS able to make direct sets on Deadpool & Wolverine (or Anything R Rated in general), would you actually be against or for it? I'd personally love a set and figures but I know a killer astroid hitting Earth tomorrow is more likely than us getting a set and figures for an R rated movie for obvious reasons

Depends on the movie  I’d be in favour of a Deadpool & Wolverine set, but in most cases (like horror franchises) I’m glad TLG doesn’t produce sets for those IPs. Alien for instance would be cool, but I’m not losing sleep over not having any sets based on it  

Not that I think sets based on R-rated movies would be offensive or anything, I just like to think of LEGO products as something wholesome the whole family can enjoy.

Honestly there's a term used at the beginning of the trailer that although I'm sure some 13-15 year olds will know about, I still don't think it's appropriate for them. Maybe I'm a prude, maybe I'm overly policing what I think is appropriate for kids.

Kids know lots of terms because of the internet and while they should know about sex it is not necessarily prudish at times to say it is too much.

And it's ultimately not what we think is appropriate but what you can put in a film before it legally is not supposed to be seen by kids and then probably a second line Disney draws themselves that allows even less

Unrelated but I cannot find a way to block people and this thread keeps going off topic, is that a feature?

I'll move on for sure, but you're the one who responded, maybe don't have the urge to respond to what I say and everyone will be happy

Enough is enough now, if anyone feels the need to respond to me and argue, don't bother and control yourself and let's get back to Lego.

[Scarilian]

The film was promised as being R-Rated, Disney may water down a version and release it as a 12 but the tone is not suitable for children and would go against Lego's brand values regarding adaptations of material.

If they choose to do that then it shows a level of hypocrisy as they'd be adapting Deadpool yet cancelling a Helicopter, Comic Style Explosive Factory, Indiana Jones Temple of Doom, etc...

If we do wind up getting sets then the Mad Max knock-off vehicles seem the way to go as they'll likely be the most easy to adapt into Lego sets.

Personally the Deadpool 3 trailer completely killed my interest in the film or getting sets from it. I'm completely detatched from it now... I'm fine if we don't get sets for it, can focus on saving for other sets for other legacy films

[Mandalorianknight]

Guys either of you can just end the conversation.  No need to have the last word.

I agree in general-I wouldn't want lego to produce stuff for horror movies or the like. But stuff like Deadpool and Daredevil I'm more iffy on. I think deadpool as a character should be availible, though I wouldn't necessarily want branded deadpool 3 sets to be a thing for any reason other than seeing you eat a minifigure.

It's funny, I think deadpool is one of those characters that spawns a lot of annoying fans because they think sex references and profanity make him cool and mature (I had a roommate like that and he... did what deadpool did in the trailer when the TVA woke him up. He no longer lives in the suite.) But there is/can be some really interesting stuff done with the character- the fact that he struggles so much with self-loathing leads to some actually pretty touching stories, like the one where he recognizes he's not the right person to help a girl on a ledge but essentially takes her mind off of it with his insane banter until he gets her to people who can. I thought the first two deadpools shined when they explored that part of him, and it looks like this one might be doing that too. And then you've got daredevil, which is widely regarded as the best superhero show of all time.

Now, I don't think that "They're good/they have something to say" is why they should be able to show up in stuff, moreso that alongside the deadpool movies, you've got his appearances in cartoons, the lego marvel game, etc. Same with Daredevil. Now it's harder for deadpool because his main costume is pretty similar in the movies and comics, but I think a bright red suit distanced from the movie design could be ok in an 18+ mansion or something.

Also, while I'm not sure I'll like how far they end up going, lego is pushing the boundry in that respect. Dune is still PG-13, but it's a very mature story- they don't get quite as explicit with the Baron's particular evil as the book, and we haven't hit much of the more graphic violence yet, but we still had people having their blood drained out for the sardukar's war paint, and it's still got a pretty dreary tone throughout that picks up when... Paul stabs and kills a man.

No, don't get me wrong, I totally agree- I said 6-12 because it's the standard lego set listed age range, not because I think the movie's appropriate for 13 year olds. And that term aside (which honestly the joke probably could have slid into a pg-13 movie as they don't really imply what it means), the trailer drops the F-bomb and TVA agents splatter their blood all over the place.

They're actually allowed one F-bomb in a PG-13 movie.

I know, but I highly doubt they'd use the only F-bomb in the trailer, and that it'd just be deadpool's reacting to seeing something kill a TVA agent

[Lego Nostalgia]

If they don't make anything based off the movie I guess I can live with it, I have the 2012 Deadpool and Wolverine and they actually look close enough to the movie costumes.

Anyway we're in 2024, most kids know what the F-word is, hell I knew it when I was 7 and I'm near 20 now.

There’s a pretty big gap between what kids know and what parents decided it’s ok for kids to know. And Lego seems to base their decisions on the latter, since parents are the ones with the money.

Not to get too off topic, but kids have known most of those words for forever, it's not a 2024 thing (though parents do seem to not care as much that their young children are using that sort of profanity). The question isn't "is deadpool 3 going to introduce kids to these words (which it still would for many kids)" it's "will kids/early teens seeing deadpool 3 associate the hero's constant language and sex references with being "cool" and start using that language more frequently/idolizing that sort of behavior", which.... yes. There's a reason it's rated R. This isn't a "video games cause violence" thing. Go to your local comic shop and there are enough grown men who idolize deadpool for that sort of thing. It's understandable why lego wouldn't want a children's toy promoting a movie of that rating.

(Again, I want to clarify I'm not saying something like "deadpool movies shouldn't exist" or "we should legally prohibit parents from letting children see this". But movie ratings are a thing, and most children do not have the ability to understand "while this movie makes the protagonist look cool, he's using terminology that someone my age shouldn't, and making references to behavior someone my age

-quick aside here- or, like, in general? Look, free country, but if I met a guy who talked like deadpool in real life, I would not want to interact with that man-

shouldn't be doing. I will be a fan of this franchise whilst understanding that deadpool is not meant to be a role model but a deeply flawed character who uses humor to cover his self-hatred")

Yeah I get what you mean, was just saying how these sorts of things are kind of exaggerated  with how parents will respond to something, there are some parents who are soft and are like karens and then there are those who wouldn't make a big deal about it and take little Timmy to see a movie that he wants to see though I do agree that they shouldn't let a child see a movie that has some sexual scenes (Obviously) , Language,Violence and References are fine IMO.

Anyway best we could hope for is a Deadpool and Wolverine in their movie costumes in the X-Mansion and kind of have it on the back of the box or they could do what they did with Diagon Alley and include a little box with a stand and the 2 Minifigures.

There are myriad reasons why ratings exist, and they are surprisingly justified. One only has to look at pre-code horror comics to understand why Fredric Wertham published his book. Granted the outcome was extreme, but the basis for it was concern. While swearing won't harm a child and those who grow up knowing bad language can be adept at language in general, kids exposed to abusive language show increases in anxiety, depression and trouble in school. The number of studies regarding children being exposed to violence are manifold. I shouldn't have to expand on the consequences of exposing children to anything of a sexual nature outside of a curated setting. I have two kids. My son is ten and has a built-in sense of right and wrong, I respect him for it. My daughter is six and draws a line between the violence of, say Gladiators and that of the Harry Potter films. She also suffers from anxiety and gets nightmares easily. I'm not going to jeopardise the sanctity of their childhood to satisfy a whim. They're kids for a short time and adults for a lot longer, so they can wait until they are ready to watch/play certain media.

I said I agree that they shouldn't be exposed to anything sexual (common sense) but yeah I guess some people are different, some won't be affected by what they watch and some will.

Anyway will the Summer sets for marvel be released in June in Europe or August 1st like everywhere else ?

Ok people, it's off track. Back to LEGO now. Any further off-LEGO posts will be at first hidden and then dealt with via direct warnings if they continue.

Thanks.

I'm imagining like with prior years it'll be a split between June and August, the majority in June.

The Milano, AoU Final Battle and Iron Legion Battlepack were listed for August when first reported, unsure if the situation with the Iron Legion Battlepack means we'll get it sooner but the other two will likely remain August.

I'd guess:

June: Iron Man MK5 Brickhead, Surtur Battle, Iron Man Motorcycle, Avengers Battle, Midi Scale Helicarrier, Potted Groot

August: 10th Anniversary Milano, Iron Legion Battlepack, AoU Final Battle

All I want is the Wolverine costume from the movie. Lego please just give that to me
