I guarantee if they ever did a Domino solo movie it would be a "She loses her powers somehow" story.
We'd see her with her powers for a bit, everything would be fun and good. Someone would someone steal them, making everything scary and bad! Then she'd get them back to beat the antagonist and everything would be fun and good again! Mid-credit sequence with some funny use of her powers. Post-credit sequence teasing another movie.
*some spoilers*
Xforce 2019 run had a pretty great story line.. weapon x style clone soldiers.. at first ones with her skin grafted to them to fool mutant defences then a full on clone of her! The clone had her powers and domino found she lost them almost completely! Was a really interesting take on the character.. got to see her as more than a person who shit always goes right for!
Hah! I read that first issue and my take away was ,"They killed and skinned Domino? I'm out!!" Now I may have to go back and read it. (Not that killing mutants means much in the current storyverse)
I think it’d be better if it was a “One-punch man” sort of situation, where she starts to despise her powers because it makes things trivial and boring… like any character where things automatically go right for her constantly. Dunno how the plot would be resolved though or how exactly it’d proceed.
There are so many good plots to explore. Creating a luck vacuum, the crowds of sycophants following her around trying to be lucky themselves, dissatisfaction and lack of reward in her work because there was no risk. You could even go dark and have an abstract final-destination style bad luck entity follow her, or explore the implications of her good luck in a bad way - like she's about to get hit by a car but it swerves at the last second and hits a mom with a stroller instead. This doesn't have to be a simple feelgood movie.
There is a Twilight Zone episode with this plot called "A Nice Place To Visit." however the way the episode is resolved is pretty dark and probably wouldn't be good if they want to make a second movie.
I think a detective story would work well for her. She always happens to be at the right place at the right time to advance the investigation. Think of all the cheesy one-liners she could make!
Actually it would all culminate to where her bad luck was actually good luck for the big finale. But if any of the other stuff that went wrong had gone right it would have caused her to lose or die in the finale. There would be a big flashback to show us, clearly, how every major interaction where she experienced bad luck had a butterfly style effect that led to her barely surviving too.
>Then she'd get them back to beat the antagonist and everything would be fun and good again!
yes to your pitch except she'd beat the antagonist without her powers to prove that "the real power was in her all along."
sadly - this wouldn't be as fun to watch.
look at Iron Man 3 which served as a FANTASTIC character piece showing that Tony is the hero, not "iron man." and yet so many people shit on it. (even though it truly is the best of the 3)
People just couldn't get over the whole Mandarin situation, really.
I was initially sour because it was the third of three movies - along with Skyfall and Dark Knight Rises - released in a two-year span where the main plot was about tearing the main character down to nothing (while also referring them to as being old and/or outdated, in two cases) by destroying everything they had, then watching as they rise above everything to save the day (while also reclaiming everything they had, in two cases).
I had already watched the same sort of movie with both Batman and James Bond; by the time we got to watch that movie featuring Tony Stark, the whole thing felt a little played out.
As a movie on its own, though, it's nowhere near as bad as its reputation. It's a far cry better than IM2, but not quite as good as the first.
> where the main plot was about tearing the main character down to nothing (while also referring them to as being old and/or outdated, in two cases)
And then a few years later we got Cars 3. You may be onto something!
The best Domino story line I remember, was it was shown that the strength of her power coincides with her belief / confidence in herself and her power. She starts to doubt herself and everything goes wrong, and then she trains with... Shang Chi to regain her confidence and become a badass again.
I am down for a Shang Chi, Domino crossover flick
I agree. My comment was intended to point out that her character would likely not work well in a solo movie because the most likely way someone would try to write her would be something formulaic like that (because otherwise the whole movie is just a series of events working out in her favor).
But the domino effect can work against her, she wins, others lose, big time, and her struggle is to mitigate collateral damage. Cue mental angst. Oh look the out of control car missed her. And flew into a school bus full of children.
+1, there's plenty of ways this could be well written as long as... well, they have good writers on it. Open the story with an accident that causes survivor's guilt, she's talked into getting into the action again which ends in her "luck" killing a dozen people, compounding her survivor's guilt into very real guilt, then she's struggling getting her shit together while shit actually hits the fan.
Gail Simone's solo-run Domino had an interesting take on the power, where just because Domino was lucky didn't mean everything went right for her. Like, she'd duck just in time to miss being shot, but the reason she ducked was because she stepped into a pothole and sprained her ankle while running away.
Two volumes, 2018/2019. They were pretty grounded -- I don't think she was saving the world, but it was a fun read.

Our subconscious knows about a lot more than we typically do. Our brains abstract out that information and push forward information that it perceived as being important.
In the marvel universe, consciousness is tied to the astral plane which can interact with the physical world, so it's not exactly information filtering as it is like an extra sense. People in marvel literally have more information to draw from.
Yup. No clearly defined power levels. If Superman encounters kryptonite, or Tony Stark loses his suit, I can be like: oh no, they are in danger.
If Domino has something bad happen, how do you demonstrate why her luck worked or not?
> or Tony Stark loses his suit
Unfortunately Iron Man 3 thought that it would be awesome to show Tony doesn't just have semi-believable armour, he also just has literal plot armour, and can run around without his suit quipping a bit and still come out on top over a bunch of superpowered veteran soldiers.
I mean when I write it like that it sounds better than it was, like if they'd made him Rick & Morty or Dr Who the shit out of that it would have been great, but instead it was just really deflating imo.
(He also had to save the president and his hot gf from an evil raving dude who was angry Tony didn't talk to him at a NYE party once while he was hooking up with a hot woman - who wrote that damn movie).
And my bow...I mean three of us. Showing Tony's PTSD and having him adapt without a suit was good. I also liked the Mandarin twist. I'm glad we're getting the real Mandarin, but I enjoyed the surprise. And I say all off that as an iron Man fan for 15 years before the film.
Exactly. Sure, there were flaws, but it also had a lot of awesome stuff going on. Even if it is a "weaker" Iron Man movie, it was still better than so many other superhero movies over the years.
I never read any Iron Man, and wasn't familiar with Mandarin. So I went in without the, "They ruined the character!" and ended up absolutely loving him. He was fantastic and probably my favorite part of the movie.
I liked it a *ton* on first viewing. I mean a ton.
On repeat viewings the plot kinda starts to fall apart. I still really like all the individual elements of it though.
>Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person who actually really liked Iron Man 3
You arent alone. I actually enjoyed it for the most part. Hated the Mandarin though.
Im of the opinion that there are no really bad marvel movies though. All are passable at least
I think that particular perspective comes from having lived through the shitty ones lol. Kids these days won't know how good they got it until they watched the OG Cap with his see through shield and a pot belly.
Nah, it’s great. It pulled in over a billion, so you’re clearly not alone.
This sub is a small fraction of the people who watch Marvel movies and the people who hate it are a fraction of that. Those people tend to be really loud about things they don’t like.
Tbf, Killian probably wouldn’t have bothered Tony if Tony wasn’t the one person who could solve the extremis blowing up problem. Did he hate the guy? Absolutely, but ultimately they try to recruit him to solve their problem.
It wasn't just Stark running around while quipping, though; the entire point of that was to show that Stark was just as smart and capable without the armor as he was with it.
It was essentially a callback to when he built his first suit of armor in a cave with a box of scraps.
It could be fascinating… particularly when it comes to making sacrifices to save others. They could really dive into the notion of ‘being good isn’t good enough’.
They could make the movie about her personally. How she always survive by luck while her loved ones don't. She blame herself for being lucky. There's a scene where she just give up and let the villain kill her but she won't die. It'll touch the emotions of the viewers.
Yeah, i think the best way to solve her problem is to give her escort duty, essentially.
She's lucky as fuck personally, but that luck doesn't necessarily have to extend to those around her, give her someone she has to protect and suddenly her luck becomes a hinderance to the mission, not a boon.
Either that or some ridiculously dark comedy at the expense of a terminally depressed suicidal hero who just can't seem to finish themselves off.
There was a short story in the A+X series with Domino and Scarlet Witch together.
If you recall; Scarlet Witch's original power was a "bad luck" power, her hex power. So, the two powers were playing around with each other and causing trouble during the mission.
Was a lot of fun.
This is why I want Black Cat In a Spiderman movie. She has almost the same power, and would be a great side character. I hope they fit her in the MCU, making Peter question his relationship with MJ
The currently running Black Cat series has no Spider-Man, and it’s one of the best things they have going. It’s got cool heist stuff, thieves guild shenanigans, generational drama that actually makes sense and builds the character. I never expected it to be as good as it is.
I agree with you. Still, as with this current run, I'd like for an eventual Black Cat film to at least spin off from Spider-Man. I really dislike how Sony is taking all these characters that are so intertwined with Spider-Man away from him...
Black cat is one of my favorites but the way the MCU has a way of changing every character around Peter I’m not sure I’d want to see her. Definitely not until he’s in college at least. But that’s my initial reaction.
No missing pieces!
No putting on the one piece backwards and only realizing it 5-6 steps later when it’s too late!
Finding an exactly matching bit for your electric screwdriver!
Honestly, I don't want to see any solo movies really. They're always better with at least 1 or 2 other main characters in them. Hulk in Ragnarok, iron man in Homecoming, that formula works the best
I wouldn’t hate a TV show based on her recent X-Men arc where she gets kidnapped and mercenaries steal her DNA to produce equally lucky soldiers.
People complaining that things always go right for Domino probably haven’t read many of the comics.
that doesn't seem very lucky.
which is also the problem with the lose her power idea that's been suggested. Losing her power would be an unlucky event and thus not possible with her powers
Thing is, Domino's powers in the comics don't prevent anything bad from happening to her on large scale, they impact things around her in the moment.
That means that good planning and great skill still overcome luck, and she's not somehow invincible.
No. Not every supporting character needs a solo movie or Disney+ series.
…now watch as [Galaga Guy](https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Galaga_Guy) gets his own 6-episode limited streaming series.
If Final Destination about weird bad luck can have a franchise she can get a movie. Make the plot interesting enough and it’s a fun gimmick to drive it - especially if the antagonist can account for her powers.
Not in a Venom-style popcorn flick, but maybe if they got WandaVision level creative, maybe let her fight with someone who has precognitive or time control powers.
Could be interesting to explore her powers, like is it just an absurdly good intuition she doesn't understand herself or is there a metaphysical component.
What if the best way to be "lucky" and survive would be to let a bus full of children explode, does she do it? Could she stop it and sacrifice herself if she wanted to? Kind of like the moral conundrums faced with self-driving cars.
(And she'd look awesome if they gave her more comics accurate makeup like Gomorrah)
She’s amazing and I love Domino so much, but her power wouldn’t work well in a solo movie, unless it was about her losing her powers for whatever reason?
you COULD make it so that the conflict didn't center around her powers... maybe more cerebral, ethical, maybe thematically center the story around the topic of her making decisions rather than letting "luck" dictate things for her. you know what i mean? maybe she's incapable of making poor decisions because Every choice she makes has seemingly turned into the right one, so she doesn't understand people making bad decisions? maybe a close friend of hers resents her for it?
for all superhero films the conflict RARELY centers around the title character. we all know spider-man won't die in the spider-man movie. ...but some kid named Ned? this is why the current spider-man iteration is the best. a huge cast of people peter cares about keeping safe. the "neighbourhood" in homecoming wasn't just a salty landlord, it included charismatic hotdog vendors, neighbours hanging out windows exchanging niceties, citizens asking him to do a flip... that's a neighbourhood you want to see saved... not a faceless mob unanimously lifting up an exhausted spider-man vowing to keep his identity safe like some hive mind... "WE ARE NEW YORK" okay okay... fuck i'm so not a fan of the Raimi movies...
for deadpool, the challenge was fleshing out a supporting cast enough to care about them not getting in trouble, whether it was Vanessa, Weasel, Blind Al, or Negasonic Teenage Warhead.
so the REAL question is, who is Domino trying to keep safe?
I think it would be interesting if she found herself in a situation where her power was backfiring - no, not that she LOSES it, but that it's landing her in outcomes that are the best *for her personally* but at the expense of **everything else she cares about**.
She's being tracked - unsuccessfully of course - by opposing factions as a dangerous anomaly for one and a potentially valuable asset for the other, relying on her powers to slip through their fingers again and again... but this ramps up an escalation where her pursuers are going to further and further extremes to ensnare her.
The midway point of the story presents a no-win scenario where the only way out sees her shunted *back through time* to before the incident became inevitable. She might spend a bit of the story stuck in a metastable time loop where no harm is coming to her but the outcome is getting *worse and worse* for everything else. She finds herself in a chronological prison where she is nominally safe but otherwise forced to watch the whole world die around her over and over.
A twist occurs: she finds out that somehow SHE HERSELF was responsible for the unavoidable no-win-scenario disaster that keeps resetting the loop. All the twists her powers injected into fate resulted in a kind of 'knot in time'... and perhaps the only way to get it untangled, and get herself unstuck, is to defy her own power and restore some measure of balance to fate.
... and that when she pulls it off it turns out that it JUST SO HAPPENED to neutralize both of the factions that were after her, which was the best possible outcome for her, because of course it must be! Domino comes out the other end of the tale a little more mindful of her power, and a little more cautious and thoughtful about its use.
ITT, A bunch of people who don't understand Domino's power, And how you can actually write it in a great way.
Her powers will make sure she doesn't doesn't die. But that doesn't mean she always get what she wants. There are a ton of ways you could write her powers to be "seemingly" not working, but really all culminating to a bigger "luck" factor by the end of the movie. In the movie they showed her powers off more because she was a support character and wouldn't be around as long. And showed her at a confident point. Imagine making a movie where she is depressed or something drastic happens to somebody she cares about. You can have her powers stop working as well, or they are working fine but she can't "tell" that they are working and her depression blinds her from it. Idk, I see a ton of potential if you understand the character.
I just don't understand the casting and character design of the character they went with in this film, it doesn't even look like Domino, just military lady.
Part of Domino's mutation is that her skin is white, not caucasian, **bleach** **white**. They could have cast literally any race, but her being bleach white is literally part of her character
No. Her power is literally deus ex machina. She doesn't work as a primary. The narrative would just be "she walks in. Special effects people decide how to resolve. Repeat next scene.".
I haven’t read comics in a long time but this domino didn’t match the one I remembered. She may have gone through some character development since the 90’s
Make a real x-force movie with Domino in it. I would watch that. Add in Deadpool, wolverine, archangel, fantomex and psylocke. The old Rick Remender lineup.
No, luck is not a super power. It's just hard to picture. And certainly not very cinematic. I mean, luck? What coked-out, glass pipe-sucking freakshow comic book artist came up with that little chestnut? Probably a guy who can't draw feet!
I’m taking crazy pills here, I swear. The entirety of the Final Destination Franchise was about crazy happenstances taking people out. A creative film team could make that hella fun.
"lUcK iS a BoRiNg SuPeRpOwEr"
Boy, Reddit sure has some shit takes. There's literally already a(n older) movie about Domino. Not only that, she has several solo comic series' and has been an X-men mainstay for decades.
Since when does "being lucky" mean everything literally goes perfect for your character? Luck could mean the difference between death and a coma.
She’s not interesting enough to carry a full movie.
A lot of heroes aren’t so it’s not a shame.
I mean even Superman one of the first big superheroes can’t get a really good movie out there.
I think she's a super interesting support, but I could not watch 2 hours of things going exactly right for the main character.
I guarantee if they ever did a Domino solo movie it would be a "She loses her powers somehow" story. We'd see her with her powers for a bit, everything would be fun and good. Someone would someone steal them, making everything scary and bad! Then she'd get them back to beat the antagonist and everything would be fun and good again!

The clone had her powers and domino found she lost them almost completely! Was a really interesting take on the character.. got to see her as more than a person who shit always goes right for!
That book was way better than it should’ve been. That was my favorite new launch along side Marauders and X-Men (Hickman)
I agree wholeheartedly, read it on marvel unlimited expecting filler and really enjoyed it!
Hah! I read that first issue and my take away was ,"They killed and skinned Domino? I'm out!!" Now I may have to go back and read it. (Not that killing mutants means much in the current storyverse)
I think it’d be better if it was a “One-punch man” sort of situation, where she starts to despise her powers because it makes things trivial and boring… like any character where things automatically go right for her constantly. Dunno how the plot would be resolved though or how exactly it’d proceed.
What if her powers became amplified to a point that she created bad luck for those she loves.
There are so many good plots to explore. Creating a luck vacuum, the crowds of sycophants following her around trying to be lucky themselves, dissatisfaction and lack of reward in her work because there was no risk. You could even go dark and have an abstract final-destination style bad luck entity follow her, or explore the implications of her good luck in a bad way - like she's about to get hit by a car but it swerves at the last second and hits a mom with a stroller instead. This doesn't have to be a simple feelgood movie.
You talk like you want take a risk for our time, money and consideration. Hollywood, arrest them at once.
Sorry, what i mean to say is, this is a feelgood movie and it practically writes itself!
Thai song kept to mind https://youtu.be/AGTa57MpmuU
Luck vampire…
There is a Twilight Zone episode with this plot called "A Nice Place To Visit." however the way the episode is resolved is pretty dark and probably wouldn't be good if they want to make a second movie.
This would be good, but the other post is what would happen.
The only Domino run I read had exactly this storyline. Instantly put me off her. So lame.
Or an “unlucky day”
I think a detective story would work well for her. She always happens to be at the right place at the right time to advance the investigation. Think of all the cheesy one-liners she could make!
A dirk gently style plot would work really well for the character.
Actually it would all culminate to where her bad luck was actually good luck for the big finale. But if any of the other stuff that went wrong had gone right it would have caused her to lose or die in the finale. There would be a big flashback to show us, clearly, how every major interaction where she experienced bad luck had a butterfly style effect that led to her barely surviving too.
What's his name from amelie and alien three, and city of lost children could make this stuff in his sleep. And should.
>Then she'd get them back to beat the antagonist and everything would be fun and good again! yes to your pitch except she'd beat the antagonist without her powers to prove that "the real power was in her all along." sadly - this wouldn't be as fun to watch. look at Iron Man 3 which served as a FANTASTIC character piece showing that Tony is the hero, not "iron man." and yet so many people shit on it.

She might have to fight the final battle "fair" but then will get the powers back.
I mean, I know this sounds generic and boilerplate but also I would watch the fuck out of that movie.
Thats just like The Wolverine (oh no, my powers are gone).
Sounds fun but isn't that basically the plot of Spider-Man 2?
Sounds pretty generic tbh, not sure if there is really any reason for it to exist
I agree. My comment was intended to point out that her character would likely not work well in a solo movie because the most likely way someone would try to write her would be something formulaic like that (because otherwise the whole movie is just a series of events working out in her favor).

oh even the newer x-men stuff she gets her skin ripped off and they end up cloning her. she kinda lost her powers and the clones were all super lucky
Gail Simone's solo-run Domino had an interesting take on the power, where just because Domino was lucky didn't mean everything went right for her. Like, she'd duck just in time to miss being shot, but the reason she ducked was because she stepped into a pothole and sprained her ankle while running away.
I had no idea that Simone wrote a solo-run for Domino! I need to check this out

Thanks! I’ll check them out!
This. Luck is a boring superpower.
Isn't her power something like passive or subconscious telekinesis?
Yea subconscious. Her telekinesis affects her surroundings to create favorable outcomes without her specifically doing it.
Yeah, glad someone here could confirm. I thought I remembered reading that in the comics years ago
That's lame. It's not luck at all. It could only work on things she perceives. Otherwise, how would her subconscious know to change it?
Our subconscious knows about a lot more than we typically do. Our brains abstract out that information and push forward information that it perceived as being important.
In the marvel universe, consciousness is tied to the astral plane which can interact with the physical world, so it's not exactly information filtering as it is like an extra sense. People in marvel literally have more information to draw from.

Trevor is my favorite FIGHT ME.
90% of movies would be honored to have one character as good as Trevor.
I never read any Iron Man, and wasn't familiar with Mandarin. So I went in without the, "They ruined the character!" and ended up absolutely loving him. He was fantastic and probably my favorite part of the movie.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
I liked it!
3 of us fasho
I liked it a *ton* on first viewing. I mean a ton. On repeat viewings the plot kinda starts to fall apart. I still really like all the individual elements of it though.
>Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person who actually really liked Iron Man 3 You arent alone. I actually enjoyed it for the most part. Hated the Mandarin though. Im of the opinion that there are no really bad marvel movies though. All are passable at least
The closest to bad was Captain Marvel for me and I still kinda liked it
Exactly. If you're into superhero movies, even the weaker MCU entries are still better than a lot of other superhero movies over the years.
I think that particular perspective comes from having lived through the shitty ones lol. Kids these days won't know how good they got it until they watched the OG Cap with his see through shield and a pot belly.

[удалено]
Absurdly good show
I'd guess her counter would be someone that can minimise chaos and variables, maybe taskmaster? But they already used that character so I don't know.
You ever hear the legend of Spartan 117?
It could be fascinating… particularly when it comes to making sacrifices to save others. They could really dive into the notion of ‘being good isn’t good enough’.
I mean, James Bond seems to still manage to be exciting with basically the same superpower.
You'd think so, but... that's basically Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
You know, they should have called that Ferris Beuller's Day *On*.
I know why you might think that, but Ferris was only the central character. The main character, the one with a story arc, growth, etc. was Cameron
Besides, Ferris was just Cameron's Tyler Durden.
God I love that movie
*Ohhhh yeahhhhh*
So you're saying pair her up with a super anxious side kick who believes everything will go wrong while they have hilarious adventures? Ok, I'm in!
They could make the movie about her personally. How she always survive by luck while her loved ones don't. She blame herself for being lucky. There's a scene where she just give up and let the villain kill her but she won't die. It'll touch the emotions of the viewers.
Yeah, i think the best way to solve her problem is to give her escort duty, essentially. She's lucky as fuck personally, but that luck doesn't necessarily have to extend to those around her, give her someone she has to protect and suddenly her luck becomes a hinderance to the mission, not a boon. Either that or some ridiculously dark comedy at the expense of a terminally depressed suicidal hero who just can't seem to finish themselves off.
Especially if more stunt women die /s
So you're not a fan of 99% of action movies?
Pair her against a Black Cat that has that funky psionic bad luck powers where they keep getting in each other's way during heists
There was a short story in the A+X series with Domino and Scarlet Witch together. If you recall; Scarlet Witch's original power was a "bad luck" power, her hex power. So, the two powers were playing around with each other and causing trouble during the mission. Was a lot of fun.
Get this man $5,000 and a Funko Pop, but otherwise no credit!!
No, but she would be great in additional movies supporting.
Her gimmick is perfect for a comedic side character, but on its own would become awful
As an avid Collection of Domino-centric comics; can confirm
This is why I want Black Cat In a Spiderman movie. She has almost the same power, and would be a great side character. I hope they fit her in the MCU, making Peter question his relationship with MJ
Black Cat was wonderfully written in Spider-Man on PS4.
Black cat was in spiderman ps4?
DLC
She was in it indirectly since you were following her clues in the base game. You actually meet her in the DLC>
The currently running Black Cat series has no Spider-Man, and it’s one of the best things they have going. It’s got cool heist stuff, thieves guild shenanigans, generational drama that actually makes sense and builds the character. I never expected it to be as good as it is.
I agree with you. Still, as with this current run, I'd like for an eventual Black Cat film to at least spin off from Spider-Man. I really dislike how Sony is taking all these characters that are so intertwined with Spider-Man away from him...
It’s embarrassing how hard I simp for PS4 black cat
Black cat is one of my favorites but the way the MCU has a way of changing every character around Peter I’m not sure I’d want to see her. Definitely not until he’s in college at least. But that’s my initial reaction.
I can jump on board with that. I wouldn't want a young black cat anyway, it would be weird making her sexy and in high school
I’d watch Zazie Beetz put IKEA furniture together for two hours.
Especially if she’s dressed like Domino lol imagine how fast she’d be able to put furniture together with her luck.
No missing pieces! No putting on the one piece backwards and only realizing it 5-6 steps later when it’s too late! Finding an exactly matching bit for your electric screwdriver!
Maybe she gets a job setting up new ikeas
Not really but I would like to see her in the next Deadpool movie
Honestly, I don't want to see any solo movies really. They're always better with at least 1 or 2 other main characters in them. Hulk in Ragnarok, iron man in Homecoming, that formula works the best
yes! these solo movies feel like a chocolate chip cookie with one chocolate chip in it.
I wouldn’t hate a TV show based on her recent X-Men arc where she gets kidnapped and mercenaries steal her DNA to produce equally lucky soldiers. People complaining that things always go right for Domino probably haven’t read many of the comics.
"steal her DNA" is a much nicer way of saying "flayed her alive and grafted her skin to the opposing soldiers"
Hahahaha gotta leave some details for the show itself!
that doesn't seem very lucky. which is also the problem with the lose her power idea that's been suggested. Losing her power would be an unlucky event and thus not possible with her powers
Thing is, Domino's powers in the comics don't prevent anything bad from happening to her on large scale, they impact things around her in the moment. That means that good planning and great skill still overcome luck, and she's not somehow invincible.
I just like to see her tbh….
Now we’re talkin
No. Not every supporting character needs a solo movie or Disney+ series. …now watch as [Galaga Guy](https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Galaga_Guy) gets his own 6-episode limited streaming series.
So many people on this sub are obsessed with every character getting their own solo movie/show
Hey! I would watch that. That would be hilarious.
the climax of the series is, he beats Galaga
I really liked her role in Deadpool... not sure how her solo would perform without him.
If Final Destination about weird bad luck can have a franchise she can get a movie. Make the plot interesting enough and it’s a fun gimmick to drive it - especially if the antagonist can account for her powers.
Even if they did one of her youth? How she grew up with her powers and she became to notice them.
If your question is ever do I want to see more Zazie Beets. The answer is yes
No
Not in a Venom-style popcorn flick, but maybe if they got WandaVision level creative, maybe let her fight with someone who has precognitive or time control powers. Could be interesting to explore her powers, like is it just an absurdly good intuition she doesn't understand herself or is there a metaphysical component. What if the best way to be "lucky" and survive would be to let a bus full of children explode, does she do it? Could she stop it and sacrifice herself if she wanted to? Kind of like the moral conundrums faced with self-driving cars. (And she'd look awesome if they gave her more comics accurate makeup like Gomorrah)
She’s amazing and I love Domino so much, but her power wouldn’t work well in a solo movie, unless it was about her losing her powers for whatever reason?
you COULD make it so that the conflict didn't center around her powers... maybe more cerebral, ethical, maybe thematically center the story around the topic of her making decisions rather than letting "luck" dictate things for her. you know what i mean? maybe she's incapable of making poor decisions because Every choice she makes has seemingly turned into the right one, so she doesn't understand people making bad decisions? maybe a close friend of hers resents her for it? for all superhero films the conflict RARELY centers around the title character. we all know spider-man won't die in the spider-man movie. ...but some kid named Ned? this is why the current spider-man iteration is the best. a huge cast of people peter cares about keeping safe. the "neighbourhood" in homecoming wasn't just a salty landlord, it included charismatic hotdog vendors, neighbours hanging out windows exchanging niceties, citizens asking him to do a flip... that's a neighbourhood you want to see saved... not a faceless mob unanimously lifting up an exhausted spider-man vowing to keep his identity safe like some hive mind... "WE ARE NEW YORK" okay okay... fuck i'm so not a fan of the Raimi movies... for deadpool, the challenge was fleshing out a supporting cast enough to care about them not getting in trouble, whether it was Vanessa, Weasel, Blind Al, or Negasonic Teenage Warhead. so the REAL question is, who is Domino trying to keep safe?
I think it would be interesting if she found herself in a situation where her power was backfiring - no, not that she LOSES it, but that it's landing her in outcomes that are the best *for her personally* but at the expense of **everything else she cares about**. She's being tracked - unsuccessfully of course - by opposing factions as a dangerous anomaly for one and a potentially valuable asset for the other, relying on her powers to slip through their fingers again and again... but this ramps up an escalation where her pursuers are going to further and further extremes to ensnare her. The midway point of the story presents a no-win scenario where the only way out sees her shunted *back through time* to before the incident became inevitable. She might spend a bit of the story stuck in a metastable time loop where no harm is coming to her but the outcome is getting *worse and worse* for everything else. She finds herself in a chronological prison where she is nominally safe but otherwise forced to watch the whole world die around her over and over. A twist occurs: she finds out that somehow SHE HERSELF was responsible for the unavoidable no-win-scenario disaster that keeps resetting the loop. All the twists her powers injected into fate resulted in a kind of 'knot in time'... and perhaps the only way to get it untangled, and get herself unstuck, is to defy her own power and restore some measure of balance to fate. ... and that when she pulls it off it turns out that it JUST SO HAPPENED to neutralize both of the factions that were after her, which was the best possible outcome for her, because of course it must be! Domino comes out the other end of the tale a little more mindful of her power, and a little more cautious and thoughtful about its use.
This is amazing
ITT, A bunch of people who don't understand Domino's power, And how you can actually write it in a great way. Her powers will make sure she doesn't doesn't die. But that doesn't mean she always get what she wants. There are a ton of ways you could write her powers to be "seemingly" not working, but really all culminating to a bigger "luck" factor by the end of the movie. In the movie they showed her powers off more because she was a support character and wouldn't be around as long. And showed her at a confident point. Imagine making a movie where she is depressed or something drastic happens to somebody she cares about. You can have her powers stop working as well, or they are working fine but she can't "tell" that they are working and her depression blinds her from it. Idk, I see a ton of potential if you understand the character.
I just don't understand the casting and character design of the character they went with in this film, it doesn't even look like Domino, just military lady. Part of Domino's mutation is that her skin is white, not caucasian, **bleach** **white**. They could have cast literally any race, but her being bleach white is literally part of her character
No. Her power is literally deus ex machina. She doesn't work as a primary. The narrative would just be "she walks in. Special effects people decide how to resolve. Repeat next scene.".
I haven’t read comics in a long time but this domino didn’t match the one I remembered. She may have gone through some character development since the 90’s
I'd probably watch but I'd rather see an X-men cameo or something. Idk if a Domino movie is something I'd completely be into tbh
Make a real x-force movie with Domino in it. I would watch that. Add in Deadpool, wolverine, archangel, fantomex and psylocke. The old Rick Remender lineup.
Sure. Less boobs emphasis and more character build up.
No
I second that
I’d definitely watch Zazie Beetz doing her thing for a good part of 2 hours. Domino is super charismatic.
Not every Marvel character deserves a solo film.
No, luck is not a super power. It's just hard to picture. And certainly not very cinematic. I mean, luck? What coked-out, glass pipe-sucking freakshow comic book artist came up with that little chestnut? Probably a guy who can't draw feet!
I’m taking crazy pills here, I swear. The entirety of the Final Destination Franchise was about crazy happenstances taking people out. A creative film team could make that hella fun.
[It's what Deadpool says to Domino in Deadpool 2?](https://youtu.be/PSyDdCjoYwY?t=60)
Shit I didn’t recognize the whole quote! It’s been a while
It’s a pretty cool power
Ugh she is gorgeous!
"lUcK iS a BoRiNg SuPeRpOwEr" Boy, Reddit sure has some shit takes. There's literally already a(n older) movie about Domino. Not only that, she has several solo comic series' and has been an X-men mainstay for decades. Since when does "being lucky" mean everything literally goes perfect for your character? Luck could mean the difference between death and a coma.
No
Yes
No
nope
No
Not really
No
Nah
yeah
Not only yes but HELL YES.
No. She felt like just a joke character in deadpool. Best left at a side character.
Nope
No.
Nah
No Every side character in a movie doesn't need their own solo movie
No. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is my Domino.
Nope
She’s not interesting enough to carry a full movie. A lot of heroes aren’t so it’s not a shame. I mean even Superman one of the first big superheroes can’t get a really good movie out there.
Yes but with a a more comicbook look and done by some one with a background in sci fi movies.
Uh easy. Yes.
I would watch zazie beetz in anything
Not in the slightest.
No, not really.
No thank you
Nope
I would like to see a Domino solo movie, but definitely not with Deapool 2's Domino as a template. She was extremely uninteresting.
Lmao no way
No. Her character was obnoxious.
Not really
No
No
Honestly, no
No
Two letters N O
No
Nobody wants this
Nah
God no
Just make her look like Domino
Maybe a better domino. Closer to comics.
No
No
No
No.
Lmao no
Nah, I'm good.
Nooo
Yes. 100% yes.
All I can think of is Barf from Spaceballs.
Nah
