If you want me to, I'll review that one first. He should be here Monday.

Feels like this year we had a small glut early, as companies either tried to get their stuff out before CNY or released their stuff immediately upon return, then things slowed to a trickle. I know I wrote about some new figures I'd got, but I feel like I wrote more about older figures I'd just gotten around to picking up. Then all the sudden I've had six preorders arrive (not looking forward to that credit card bill). If I'm lucky the first batch should be arriving Monday.

What version is the OS?

Depends on whether you're asking how many costumes were worn by the Scarlet Spider, or how many were worn by Ben Reilly, although the answer is three. Ben Reilly had two Scarlet Spider costumes. One is the familiar red suit and blue hoodie with the ripped sleeves he's had since the '90s and is already in the game. The second is new costume designed for the much more recent Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider series (that just hit issue #25, so I guess two-ish years?). I think people must have hated it, because in the third issue he switches back to the old outfit. The third Scarlet Spider suit (and the one in the new DLC) is Kaine's. It was originally Spider-Man's stealth suit, but Kaine got it during the Spider Island event. The new Madame Web gave it the current look, though, when Kaine got his own Scarlet Spider series in 2011. Kaine still goes by Scarlet Spider and appears regularly in the current Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider series. So three Scarlet Spider costumes. I'm partial to this one- I loved his Scarlet Spider series. The creatives at Marvel haven't been a fan of Spidey being married for a long time, though, and One More Day wasn't the first attempt at undoing the married Spidey thing. In the '90s Marvel tried to sell us on the idea that Peter Parker, the Spider-Man we'd been following all these years, was actually the clone and Ben Reilly was the original. Since MJ was pregnant at the time anyway, Peter decided to retire and pass the mantle of Spider-Man to Ben (hence, three Ben Reilly costumes). Sometime later Marvel started their M2 line, depicting an alternate near-future of the Marvel universe. In M2, Peter and Mary Jane had a daughter named May who inherited Peter's spider powers and became Spider-Girl. I can't remember if it was coincidence or what, but May's used Ben's Spidey costume and not her dad's. That's probably the costume you're thinking of. Ben's Spidey costume, the Civil War Iron Spidey, and Superior Spider-Man are probably the biggest omissions left if we're not counting the black costume or Miles' costume. I mean, I could probably come up with a dozen more, but those are the biggies.

Well, that's one of the big missing ones I wanted, one new one, and one I could live without but it's sure to please some fans, especially with Spider-Geddon kicking off in the comics.

That's always been my assumption. Well, maybe not instantly, but rather quickly as part of the bonding process. Can't recall if there's any canon explanation one way or the other.

No, I completely get that. I didn't have Devastator as a kid; I picked up the reissue to go with the rest of my Devastators (Combiner Wars, Hercules, Giant, Hulkie, oversized KO Hulkie, Gravity Builder, and Constructor). When I was messing with it I was pretty floored by how bad G1 Devastator actually is. There's no way I'm picking up the reissue Starscream. I'm kind of tempted by Hot Rod, because I did have him (twice, actually; I had the regular one, and after my cousin broke it my parents bought me the Targetmaster version). Toy engineering has come a long way in the last 30 years.

Nope to all three. Hoodlum is looking close, though. I though MMC's Saltus looked close, but it sounds like it won't be out until after Azalea, 'toon Sphinx, Inventa, and possibly one or two Combaticons. I genuinely have no idea when Virtus is coming. Sounds like their Skids, possibly their Crosscut, and most likely at least the other three Stunticon cars are ahead of it. Like DA said, it's done. I'm just waiting for NA retailers to get theirs (and Challenger) before I ship my stack, but people that bought from China have had him for awhile. I don't really care about the scale (frankly, I don't think I'd have room for a properly-scaled Sky Lynx). While I don't think MMC went overboard on the design, I do think there's a reason he's in the Reformatted line and not Ocular Max. Something just looks off about him.

A single GTX 1070 has more memory, better texture rates, better pixel rates, much better shader performance, faster core clock, should run cooler, and draw far less power. The only real advantage tandem 480s in SLI would have is memory bandwidth. Aside from heat and power draw, looks like two 480s in SLI should perform similarly to a GTX 1060. To throw another wrench into things, don't forget about Nvidia's new RTX 20xx cards. They won't be cheap, but the RTX 2070 should still outperform at least a non-ti version of the GTX 1080. The RTX 2080 and 2080ti should be available now, and the RTX 2070 later this month.

Yeah, I saw the reviews for Koot and basically said, "nope, that's not for me." I'm holding out to see how XTB's Locke turns out. The renders and early prototype's looked better, but the prototype that was at whatever toy fair last weekend looked pretty off. But I suppose if Locke does turn out to be the worse of the two, and no one else announces one, I'll have to settle for Koot. As for Crash Hog, yeah, he's definitely on my buy list, but stock has totally dried up on him. BBTS was supposedly taking preorders for a reissue of the Crash Hog/Dump Yard two pack, but they were the only ones, they stopped, and I haven't heard beans about a reissue since. If a reissue does happen, I'll definitely try to nab one. Aside from filling those two holes, barring any major issues I'm going to sell Rouge and pick up MMC's Azalea. I'm keeping an eye on FT's Hoodlum; if it turns out good I'll replace MP-28, if it's as bad as their other Season 3 Autobots I've still got MP-28. I'm open to replacing Big Spring with either MMC or XTB's Springers if either actually comes to fruition and turns out ok, but again if not I'm pretty content with Big Spring. I love Carry to death so I'm set on Rodimus Prime and Buzzing is really all the Blurr I need. As for Magnus, I won't replace The Hyper Magnum with another all-in-one Ultra Magnus, but if someone makes an MP-style white Optimus that combines with a trailer I could be tempted. Oh, and I guess I'll have to pick up Ollie. Beyond that, I guess I'd have to get a Constructor-sized Computron at some point. I do want a Sandstorm, but I've got no interest in Sworder. I'd like an MP Broadside. I'd be up for the Autobot tapes if MMC wants to do them. I'm not sure what my plan is for a Metroplex; going by the scale chart an actual MP citybot would be around six feet tall, but even something bigger than Gabriel probably isn't practical in my space. I guess Sky Lynx was a pretty big Season 3 character, but as cool as it is I don't think MMC's is the right one for me. Maybe if Gigapower finishes theirs after their Dinobots. Beyond that, everything is optional. I could probably go for Goldbug, but I'm ok with ToyWorld's and I don't really care about the other Throttlebots. I've got zero interest in an Outback- I actually forgot that he'd appeared in the cartoon. Zero interest in Hubcap. I'm slightly interested in Tailgate, Swerve, and Pipes, but that owes far more to IDW than G1, and I'd insist that any version I get not be a retool of Huff and whatever Gears and Windcharger I land on. Am I missing anyone? If the Autobot clones were in the cartoon I don't care, don't need them. I also can't recall that the Monsterbots were ever in the cartoon, but one of these days I might pick them up just because Fans Hobby's look fun.

I took advantage of the lull in new toys to plug a hole in my collection with a figure I didn't get around to picking up way back when he was released. This is Unique Toys' Buzzing, their take on an MP-style Blurr. I'm going to level with you... Blurr is probably my least favorite Season 3 Autobot (Wreck-Gar being the runner up). Even as a kid I didn't care for his schtick, and he always kind of seemed like the odd man out to the tighter core of Rodimus, Kup, Springer, Arcee, and Ultra Magnus. So when I first looked at Buzzing my initial reaction was, "yep, that looks like Blurr." I actually have to go back and look at the G1 toy, which I had, and the animation model to notice the color inaccuracies. The metallic blue paint on his shins should match his thighs. I think his silver feet should probably be white, but whether white or silver the light blue on his lower legs should match his feet. He shouldn't have any yellow on his crotch or shoulders. The silver on his knees should be the same blue as his shins. There shouldn't be white on his abs, and the dark blue should cover his whole waist and abs up to about where this cockpit is. The cockpit should have a stripe of lighter blue on the front. The dark blue running up his forearms should really only go around his wrists. The dark blue thrusters on his shoulders should be light blue at the base. His white forehead and crest should be light blue. But I don't really care about any of that. The shape is fine (maybe the cockpit could stick out a little more, but I think it's fine). The colors are close enough (and to be frank, some of the stuff like the light blue on his lower legs are concessions to his vehicle mode). What bugs me more than the colors is his size. He's taller than Hot Rod but shorter than Carry, which is as it should be... but he should really only be a little taller than Hot Rod, maybe half a head, and probably a little shorter than he already is compared to Carry. If he were maybe a head shorter, I think that'd be ideal. It's worth noting that I picked this figure up from another collector and got one of the originals, with a painted white chest. Be advised that UT reissued this guy last year, but instead of white for the cockpit it's a translucent blue. Some people dig that, since it's more like a window in alt mode. Personally white looks more "correct" to me. Buzzing doesn't come with a ton of accessories. You have a gun that isn't a Targetmaster, a Targetmaster, and a black and translucent blue ball of some sort. I guess it's something from some episode, but I really can't recall what it might be. As for the Targetmaster, I'll give UT some credit for going with something unconventional instead of the usual "fold guy in half", but I'm not sure how effective the result actually is. The resulting gun fits together a little funny and doesn't quite line up right due to the limits in the range of his joints. Specifically, the barrel always winds up bent to left. The barrel doesn't actually have a hole, either. Interestingly, the other gun splits in half, and you can plug part of it onto the butt of the Targetmaster gun and the barrel clips on top of and mostly sits in front of the Targetmaster barrel to create a longer rifle. The extra length exacerbates the bend in the barrel, though. I do believe that he and the ball are going back in the box. I do like his size, though. He's about the same size as a Maketoys or FansToys Headmaster or a Maketoys Targetmaster. To me, that's how the G1 toys were, and I do believe that's accurate to both the US cartoon and The Headmasters. That does mean, though, that he's much shorter than the Targetmaster that came with the US release of MP-09, Carry's Targetmaster, or the the X-Transbots Targetmasters (I think the FT ones, too, but I can't confirm). As far as articulation, the little guy has no neck, ball jointed shoulders that can rotate freely and extend laterally about 30 degrees. Transformation joints give him a backwards butterfly. His waist can rotate and bend backward on a ball joint. His elbows bend 90 degrees, but there's no bicep or wrist swivels. His hips are ball joints that can go forward and backward over 90 degrees and laterally about 90 degrees, although his left hip is constantly popping off on my copy. His hips can swivel a little over the ball joints. Knees are single hinges that get well beyond 90 degrees. No articulation in the feet or ankles. As for Buzzing himself, he can rotate his head, look up maybe 20-30 degrees, and look down maybe 10-20 degrees. His shoulders rotate on ratchets, and a hinge lets him move his arms laterally a little over 90 degrees. His biceps swivel just above the elbow. Not that you need it, but due to transformation there's a swivel just below his elbow, too. Speaking of elbows, his are double jointed and can curl the whole way up. His wrists can swivel. His thumb is fixed, but his fingers are pinned at the base knuckle, and his index finger is separate from the other three. His waist swivels. His legs are soft ratcheted forward, and the hip skirts move out the way so he can get a little over 90 degrees. Backward range is the same. He can get a little over 90 degrees laterally, too, on much stronger ratchets with about 7 clicks from straight down to fully to the side, so the spacing is good. He's got cut thigh swivels, and double-jointed knees (ratcheted upper, friction lower) that get you past 90 degrees. His feet can tilt up an extreme amount, but not down. He does have hinges for ankle pivots, but there's not flaps or cuts in the armor around his ankles, so the range is pretty limited. He holds his weapons so-so. I mean, he holds them better than some official MPs do (cough, Sideswipe, cough cough). There's no tabs or slots or rails or anything holding it in place, though. It's just the tension in his fingers holding it in place. That tension is strong enough that I haven't gotten him to drop it, but if you jostle him a little you might find the gun askew in his grip. As for that ball, he can hold it... kind of. You're just setting it on his open palm. He can't really close his fingers on it, so even a slight bump will knock it off, and his hand has to be perfectly flat or it'll roll right out. One accessory that Buzzing does not have is the shield that makes up the front end of the vehicle on the G1 toy... and the Titans Return toy, and SXS's Overclocking. Which is why I kind of want to show off Buzzing's back. His robot mode is extremely clean, especially when you considering that he's hiding way that big ol' nose. And those elbow flaps of his have springs. So you can bend them out of the way if you need to get him in a pose, but they'll always try to lay as flat against his forearms as they can. Buzzing turns into a flying space car, as you'd expect. Again, I think it's a little too large. And once again I have to consult the animation model to see where the colors are wrong. Excluding the end of the nose he should be all light blue from the cockpit forward. The antenna thing should be a light blue, and the rear of the main body should be the dark blue. The rear thrusters should again be dark blue at the ends but light blue at the base, and there should be more dark blue details around the engine bulges on the sides of his nacelles. As with the robot mode, I'm honestly not super bothered by the color inaccuracies (although, as the rear section is mostly hidden in robot mode anyway, it is kind of curious that they didn't match it to the cartoon better. It's technically toy accurate, but since Blurr's toy colors were almost inverted from the cartoon it's basically the only thing that's toy-accurate). While I feel like the robot mode nailed the shape of Blurr, Buzzing's alt mode is a little off. The darker tip at the end is too long, and comes to too narrow of a point. He seems slightly too wide, especially at the rear where I think the nacelles should tuck against the body better. The nacelles themselves have a gap in the middle, and they seem a little tall top-to-bottom, too, or it's too low on the body. This extra height means that instead of the nacelle being smooth at the bottom of the front, it runs back into an block jutting out from the bottom. However, there's a lot of interesting stuff going on here. Like, the nacelles aren't entirely made from his arms the way you might expect. His legs actually make up the back half of each nacelle. The exhausts on his shoulders are fake and hidden under the vehicle, and the ones you see on the back of the alt mode unfurl from his calves. The spring-loaded flaps never unfold the way they do on the G1 toy. The front half of his torso unfolds one way to make the nose, while his back turns inside-out to make everything behind the seat. And that seat is actually made from his heels. The way he kind of turns inside out actually makes me think of DX9's newer Bayverse figures. I wouldn't be surprised if Buzzing was one of the earlier works of the same person who designed those. I'd go so far as to say that transforming Buzzing is fun and clever the way Fansproject's Chromedome and Brainstorm were, and that helps me forgive some of the inaccuracies and weird proportions. Well, regarding that seat, you can kind of put the Targetmaster in it. He doesn't really fit in a seated position, though. I have him sort of scrunched up with his knees to his chest. There are slots on either side of his antenna fin. You can use a tab on the top of the gun to plug it in behind the cockpit. That works in either gun-sans-Targetmaster mode or combined gun-and-Targetmaster mode, but the Target master in solo gun mode doesn't have a tab and can't store there. When deciding whether or not to recommend Buzzing the big question mark is going to be the fact that FansToys announced that they're doing a Blurr figure called Jabber. From what little we've seen Jabber looks to be closer in size to what I think is correct. He's more cartoon accurate in shape and design in both modes. And, knowing FansToys, the colors will probably more cartoon accurate. Jabber will probably be a heftier figure, since FT loves cramming in diecast (Buzzing has none). If anything about how Buzzing looks feels off to you, and you care more about the character than I do, you might want to hold off. On the other hand, I haven't really been super happy with any of FT's releases since Phoenix and Sovereign. Their engineering has been full of odd choices that have led to overcomplicated, messy transformations that suck the fun out of the figure. I don't care how good Jabber looks, if he's half as much of a pain as Rouge was I wouldn't go near him. And, while not perfect, I think Buzzing is a pretty good figure overall, one that many collectors would be content to have in their collection as their MP Blurr. He's fun. So I think my advice would be this- if you're content with how he looks, you can't wait to fill that gap in your collection, or you find a good deal on him, go ahead and get Buzzing. If the inaccuracies bug you, though, or you're only seeing Buzzing going for retail, and you're not in a hurry to get a Blurr, you might as well wait. You may decide you like Jabber better. Or, even if you ultimately decide you don't, you could always pick up Buzzing then. Even if retail stock of Buzzing is dried up by then you can be there will be people wanting to sell their Buzzing to get FansToys' even if it turns out to be the worst figure FT's ever made. Because FansToys. Now, to find a Kup and a Wreck-Gar to complete my main movie/Season 3 Autobots...

Thanks for the input, guys. That's a turn off. (Just a reminder, you only need to silver all but four Taskmaster Challenges, and those last four can be bronzes, to get enough tokens to buy all the suits and get your Platinum as long as you don't spend any on upgrades, so it's ok if you're not doing so hot on the drones.) Technically true, but I'm looking at this as an either/or situation, so if I went Pro I wouldn't be buying an HDD upgrade. Besides, a Pro plus an SSD upgrade is enough that I might as well just wait a bit and buy a new RTX 2070 for my PC. This is all good to know. Although I must confess, I've looked at some screenshots, and side-by-side you can really see the difference, especially with god rays. But I wonder how much of that I'd actually notice in motion. Pretty sure Sony has a mandate that stuff has to run at certain baseline quality on the regular PS4 units. Unless they change that policy, I don't think the worry is a game coming out that I couldn't play, it's more of a "how much better would this game be on a Pro" sort of situation. Truthfully, I don't mind shelling out for a Pro so much as I'd mind shelling out for an upgrade on the PS4 I have, then turning around in a year and buying a Pro anyway. But- If I'm definitely not upgrading my TV anytime soon, and the PS5 really is 2-3 years away, I think I'm probably better off upgrading the perfectly-good PS4 I already have and waiting for a PS5 for something better. It'd be different if I didn't already have a PS4; I think in that case, the Pro would be a no-brainer. But we're really talking about a $90 upgrade for quadruple the storage (on a drive with better performance), or $400 to replace a console I already have on the off chance that games I can already play might be a little better. And I think, after weighing the pros and cons, it probably makes more sense to upgrade what I have and just wait for a PS5 before I drop money on another console.

Let us know what you think!

Has anyone upgraded their PS4 hard drive? Lemme give you guys some quick background info... I've been into videogames since I was a kid with an NES, and at peak gaming I was buying literally every console. In more recent years I've cut back and became primarily a PC gamer, but I still picked up a PS4 near launch for the PS4 exclusives and games like NHL that just never find their way to Steam. Outside of a few launch (or close to it) games so I'd have something to try on my new toy, if a game has come out on PC that's where I played it. Things have been changing for me over the last year, though. We moved, and our new living room setup doesn't have the TV as uncomfortably far away as it was in my old house. My third-gen i7 and GTX 970 are getting old enough that newer games like Far Cry 5 and Assassin's Creed Origins didn't run quite as well as I'd like, but with an upgrade out of the question until at least next year I already decided to pick up the new Assassin's Creed Odyssey for PS4. Finally, while having a baby caused me to devote my attention to her almost constantly during waking hours, only gaming during the narrow window between the time she went to bed for the night and I did, she's three now. While I'm still making a point of setting aside some dedicated daddy/daughter play time she's content to spend time playing with her toys by herself. She's little enough that I can't slink off to my PC and leave her to her own devices, but she's big enough that I don't have to watch her like a hawk, either. I can see her in her playroom from my couch. If she's in there playing with her toys I can fire up the ol' PS4 and get a little gaming in. Sometimes she's even curious about what I'm playing; she had opinions about what suit Spider-Man should wear, and when I played the Mega Man X collections she'd grab my spare controller and insist that I'm Mega Man and she's Zero. Well, this spate of recent PS4 gaming has quickly filled up the PS4's stock 500GB hard drive. And the way I see it, I've got two options. Option 1: Buy a PS4 Pro. In the two years or so since the Pro came out there's a lot more games that take advantage of that extra horsepower, and they come with double the storage I already have. I could get a bundle with a game I was going to buy anyway, and sell my old PS4 to recoup some of the cost. But is 1TB enough? And how much extra benefit would I get out of the PS4 Pro if I don't have a 4K TV, and don't plan on getting one any time soon? Option 2: Buy a 2TB Firecuda. 2TB should be plenty of storage, and people have reported getting significantly better install and load times due to it being a 7200RPM hybrid drive (since the PS4's interface is only SATA II a pure SSD seems like a waste). Like I said, I don't have a 4K TV. Nor does my TV support HDR. So if I don't really need a Pro, this should be the cheaper option. I've still got that little niggle, though, that's telling me that $90 for a Firecuda is $90 I could put toward a Pro, that 1TB is probably enough for me, and getting the Pro is better future proofing. Thoughts?

Just got back from seeing it. My short take; it's not great, but it's not bad, either. Of the movies I've seen in 2018 it's nowhere near Deadpool 2 or Infinity War, but I liked it better than Solo or Jurassic World. My longer take is that of all the hosts to wear the Venom suit, Eddie Brock isn't particularly compelling. He's best known for being more of a twisted mirror image of Spider-Man. Despite becoming an anti-hero in the wake of Maximum Carnage, and despite appearing in a string of mini series throughout the late '90s, Eddie was always living in hovels and fighting off some weird threats that never established themselves into real villains you would associate with the character. Eddie Brock Venom is a very one-note character. In an overarching sense, I think the story was probably about as good as it was going to get, especially leaving Spider-Man out of it. And it's not like they were pulling stuff out of the air, either. The writers did their homework, and the story borrows elements from Lethal Protector, Planet of the Symbiotes, and a little Sinner Takes All. But it's ultimately a fairly shallow story with forgettable antagonists. In a more focused criticism, I think there was a problem with pacing, or maybe too much was left on the cutting room floor. The beginning of the movie drags, and basically nothing interesting happens until Eddie bonds with the symbiote. Once he does, it's interesting watching him figure out and comes to terms with what's happened, but then they pretty suddenly shift to "let's stop the bad guy," have a climatic final fight, roll credits. To be fair, the film does provide some explanation for both Eddie and the symbiote's reasons for wanting to stop the bad guy, and they provide some motivation for the bad guy to do his thing, but maybe another act in the middle to flesh out those reasons and make it a little more personal would have helped, and they could have easily made up the time by expediting the movie's first act. And yeah, the CGI is kind of bad for a movie released in 2018. On the other hand, I think some of the criticism I'm hearing from some outlets is missing the point. Like I hear pretty often that Venom should have been rated R, and played up more like a horror story. Why? I mean, yes, Eddie killed, but for all the threats he'd made to eat brains Eddie's Venom never actually did until 1996's The Hunger mini series. And when he did, his exact words were, "No! Threatened it lots of times... never meant to... just to scare 'em- a joke...!" He recognized that something was wrong with him, and it turned out to be a deficiency of phenethylamine... a deficiency he learned to correct by (I did you not) eating chocolate. That's not to say that horror can't be used to tell a good Venom story (see John Carpenter-inspired 2003 story "Shiver"), but traditionally Venom hasn't been the sort of gory character people seem to think he should be. Which leads me to the other complaint that I keep hearing... that the straight-faced Hardy is often funny, intentionally or not, and the result is too campy. I'm guessing those people just haven't read much Venom. I mean, this is a character that goes from violently suffocates a purse snatcher by forcing symbiote into his mouth and nose to politely introducing himself to the terrified victim, handing her back the purse, and patting her on the head before leaping away and declaring, "There's no need to thank us. Your joy is reward enough and sends me leaping happily on my way." This is a character who, in one issue, was singing David Bowie's "Let's Dance" while taking out a room full of mad scientists... at least until he forgets the lyrics and gets mad. A character who teamed up with Wolverine to chase a shapeshifting rat through an interdimensional door. I'd argue that making a Venom movie that wasn't campy would be like making a Deadpool movie and not having him break the 4th wall. And on that note, I think Tom Hardy did a great job playing both Eddie and the symbiote, and the dialogue between the two is one of the film's real highlights. So no, it's not a great movie. It has its share of problems, some of their own making, some I think just coming with the source material. But it is fairly true to the character, or as true as a Hollywood film was likely to get. Casual fans may find less to enjoy than I did, but from the POV of someone like myself, someone who has quite possibly read every comic Venom has appeared in, I thought it was ok. Aside from the slow start it kept me entertained, and I don't regret seeing it.

Of all the companies who haven't done a Devastator, I think the one I'd most like to take a crack next would be Iron Factory. I'm not really into Legends, but their Bruticus was aces.

Thanks, Walmart!

This weekend, as soon as my buddy decides what night works for him.

I don't know, a lot of the bad reviews are from movie critics who aren't particularly familiar with the character. Other reviews by people who read comics are more favorable.

Ugh. The level of performance I want is starting to get higher than I want to pay. I'm already considering picking up the new Assassin's Creed on PS4 so I don't have to screw around with my current box.

No.

Or not. While some outlets are reporting this as a new movie, apparently this is all stemming from Fox shuffling some release dates around and adding an "Untitled Deadpool Movie" to the roster. Other outlets are saying that "Untitled Deadpool Movie" is actually Deadpool 2 returning to theaters with a new PG-13 cut. Which, frankly, makes even less sense. The rumor is that they're testing the waters for future Deadpool movies to carry a PG-13 rating for Deadpool's official MCU debut once the merger is done, but that really doesn't sound right. I can't imagine that there are a lot of people out there itching to go to the theater to see a PG-13 version of a movie they can already see uncut from the comfort of their home, but I'm guessing that a lot of people who already went to the theater to see Deadpool 2 would also go to see another new Deadpool movie regardless of the rating.

Nope, that's not a typo. Apparently we're getting another Deadpool, less than a year after the last one. https://www.thewrap.com/new-deadpool-movie-gets-december-release-fox/ I dunno, I enjoyed the first one and I loved the second one, but I don't really want to be 'Pooled out. Assuming they can even make a good movie in such a short time.

Western Star 5700.

It's not known if it's going to be an exclusive, but Amazon.
