Slade himself is a Parody of Captain America.

True, but Snake Eye was the first IMO. Slade on the other hand doesn't carry a shield like Captain America.:)

Saw Deadpool tonight and absolutely loved it. I think it is a bit of an acquired taste since it certainly earns its R-rating with gore and nudity, but none of it really felt gratuitous or out of place. Not that it stopped some really enlightened (or really misguided) parents from bringing their kids to this Marvel film :D.

There were plenty of great jokes and shots fired at everything from X-men, Wolverine, MCU, Batman, and even Ryan Reynold's career. Even though the humor was crude and sophomoric, I can't help but feel that the writer put a significant amount of effort into them since most of them were actually pretty clever. It's basically the type of jokes that a raunchy R-rated comedy (looking at you Adam Sandler!) should feature but don't.

Due to the rapid fire nature of the humor it probably takes multiple viewings to catch all the jokes in this movie. I personally caught somewhere between 66~70% of them. If I have time, I'll definitely watch it again in theater.

Deathstroke is actually the oldest, he dates to 1980 New Teen Titans #1 Snake eyes was introduced in the 1982 G.I.Joe new American Hero's line.

But Deathstroke was not a ninja. Yes he carries a sword and wears a mask, but he was no combat ninja whatsoever IMO.;)

And deadpool wears bright red and can't wait to do something stupid to let the enemy know they got dead pooled. He may lol... ( damn it Dead pool stop playing with my damn spell check. ) look ninja-ish but he is no ninja. He doesn't believe in Stealth, he's a walking disaster.

Chinese box-office hit The Mermaid coming to U.S. theaters

The Mermaid (MĚI RÉN YÚ)
Posted February 18 2016 — 4:20 PM EST

Stephen Chow, the man behind Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle, is back with a new blockbuster. The Chinese box-office smash The Mermaid is coming stateside.

Sony Pictures announced that The Mermaid, which has already earned more than $348 million in China, will hit U.S. theaters on Feb. 19. Directed by Chow, the film follows a mermaid (Jelly Lin) on a mission to seduce and kill a wealthy, malevolent tycoon (Deng Chao), but ends up falling in love with him. The film also has set records opening in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia.

The Washington Post reports that in the week following its opening (Feb. 8, Chinese Lunar New Year), the film helped raise China’s cumulative box office to a record-setting $548 million; that’s more than the American box office took in each of the first two weeks of Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ opening in December 2015, according to Box Office Mojo. According to Sony, the film took in $66 million on its opening day, doubling The Force Awakens’ opening day in China.

While the film may not open on a scale to challenge the U.S.’ current box-office champion Deadpool, fans of Chow’s films and those curious about the latest craze sweeping one of the world’s biggest film markets will have a chance to see The Mermaid beginning this Friday. For a look at the film, check out the trailer below.

I was referring to their outfit. The early Deathstroke outfit has boots and sword more of a European Medieval style. Snake Eyes wore more of a combat military style boots and weld a ninja sword.
