INTRODUCING DOMINO!
SOOOO (dot, dot, dot), Domino looks amazing! The fact that Zazie Beetz (from the new epic series "ATLANTA") plays the role of Domino, which is by far phenomenal! #Deadpool2, is directed by David Leitch; 1/2 of the duo that brought us John Wick 1 and 2.
The first Deadpool was spectacular. 1 Ryan Reynolds was born to play the character Deadpool. The Colossus character, wow! YOU CAN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT! For those that haven't seen the movie, by all means do so immediately. With that said, let's get into the character Domino (#Deadpool2). Let's first address this issue: why she does not look like the character in the comic book. Indeed, that is a valid observation, but let's about talk why Zazie Beetz is a great choice.
First, we have to discuss her discoloration. She is black (brown) with a patch of vitaligo. WHAT IS VITALIGO? Great question!
Vitiligo (vit-ih-LIE-go) is a disease that causes the loss of skin color in blotches. The extent and rate of color loss from vitiligo is unpredictable. It can affect the skin on any part of your body. It may also affect hair and the inside of the mouth. Normally, the color of hair and skin is determined by melanin. Vitiligo occurs when the cells that produce melanin die or stop functioning.
Vitiligo affects people of all skin types, but it may be more noticeable in people with darker skin. The condition is not life-threatening or contagious. It can be stressful or make you feel bad about yourself.
In the comic book, Domino's original skin condition was a result of her mutation. How cool is it that they used a real mutation to show her skin condition?
Next, we should talk about her powers. Domino is a mutant with the ability to subliminally and psionically initiate random telekinetic acts that affect probability in her favor by making improbable (but not impossible) things to occur within her line of sight; thus causing her to have "good luck" and her opponents to have "bad luck." So literally she has amazing luck almost like...wait for it..wait..wait..MAGIC!
In essence, we have a beautiful African American, black, brown (what ever take a pic) woman. She's portraying a character with a real life skin condition that effects people all around the world. Plus, she is a mutant with an amazing skill set (not to exclude her excellent combat and marksmanship skills). This LITERALLY is the definition of Black Girl Magic! She is going to be a hit!
And with that said, below are some remixes of the promo stills that the movie studios have released. So yeah, she is a badass assassin who, I believe, was hired her to kill Deadpool. Wait until she finds out he cant die... and hilarity continues.
#Domino #DeadPool2 #BlackGirlMagic
i set it up like a Comic Book. Since this is Domino's first movie, I figured this would be her #0 issue. As I said earlier, I think she was hired to kill Deadpool,so I wanted to reflect that (rather bloody) in this issue. I added bullet holes, fire, color tweeks, and a headless Deadpool and viola! The comic book cover.
I wanted to make it look more like a true comic book, so I continued to make changes until I came up with something more dramatic. It is still a work in progress, but I felt the need to post my idea. What do you think?
