#Russell collins

[raccoon-in-the-danger-room]

Logan, Laura, Russell, and Wade are such a wild found family combo wombo.

Wade is the dad who's always wanted kids but doesn't know how to actually handle them and would gladly encourage the kids to disembowel or burn their high school bullies, no questions asked. He forgets to pick them up at school most of the time, but always shows up at PTA meetings because he remembers that one teacher they off handedly complain about. Whenever he packs them lunch, it's definitely not healthy, but he makes sure there's a lot of it so they never feel hungry. When he hears that they have a crush on someone for the first time, he pulls them aside to have the most insane and cringey but thorough sex ed class they've ever been in -- it ends with him giving them both condoms, dental dams, and a coupon to Adam and Eve. He absolutely loooooooooves being a Karen when it comes to school. Every staff member there thinks he's the worst parental figure they've ever met, but they can say whatever they want. Cause when he does manage to pick them up on time, Laura and Russell have the biggest smiles on their faces as they bum rush him into a big group hug.

Logan is the dad who never really wanted kids but is so good with them because he wants them to be better than him. Also helps that he was still a teacher in The Worst Timeline. Whenever they need genuine advice, they turn to him. Sometimes he rambles or tells a weird anecdote before getting to the point, but he gives his honest advice about whatever they're going through mixed with some wisdom from Charles. He's really good at observing his kids -- knows their tells when they're lying, knows the signs of when they're hangry instead of actually angry, can tell the difference when they're silent or when they've become nonverbal because something really bad happened -- and adjusts accordingly. When Laura starts speaking in rapid, rabid Spanish he'll grab her hand and squeeze it gently so she can calm down from an anxiety attack. When Russell starts impersonating Wade (more than usual) and deflecting questions about how school's going, he'll take him to their favorite burger joint to eventually talk about his bullies. He stays up late, wearing his old man glasses, to help the kids with their homework because he "has insomnia anyways" so he might as well double check their work. He's especially good at history.

I think they all really love each other so much. Don't even get me started on Laura and Russell's sibling relationship. I could write a whole separate post about them and how Russell has such a HUGE big brother complex, is always hyping Laura up at her sport matches, or how Laura always protects Russell at school and he doesn't even know about it.

Anyways, I love found family and I think they're the wackiest bunch of them all.

This one is for those "Russell is Wades son" truthers.

Somehow, Wade got in a relationship with Logan and became a papa to 26

He's not complaining.

Russell finding out about Logan

(x)

More for @valscodblog

Ft: @steriotypicaloutlaw

Russell thinks/knows Wade is a capital L looser and can't compute how he managed to bag Logan

Ok but he walks in and just sees someone buried in Wade's chest as Wade plays with their hair and Russell has an out-of-body experience because.

1) That's not Vanessa

2) Who the hell else would want Wade but Vanessa

The kid has never seen this man sit still for more then five minutes including sleeping. This does not add up

And then he hears the rumbling and is just lost because what the hell is going on?! Then he realizes it's coming from whoever is laying on Wade.

Ok ok ok but what if he blunts out "What the hell is going on here?!" And since Logan doesn't recognize the voice or smell the claws immediately come out. And Russell proceeds to lose his mind

Ethan: Sudden chaos for a moment as Wade just sits there, used to being stabbed at this point. Blood everywhere as Logan tries to calm his defensive instincts. Russell screaming. Laura just rolling her eyes and going back to what she was doing (making hot cocoa). Al yelling from the next room for Russell to shut up

It's so normal and it makes it so much worse

It however does not take long for Logan to adopt this new child because he is so much like Wade

[chasing-caws]

Had a recent realization; why the fuck is Russell not even mentioned in Deadpool & Wolverine?? The literal plot of Deadpool 2 was him keeping Russel safe and you’re telling me he doesn’t care about the kid and that the kid wouldn’t be part of the people he cares about??? And same with Domino too

[ohsnapitzmarvel]

So no cable, russell, or domino?????

I Finally Figured Out the Fox X-Men Continuity

OK, here's my attempt at making sense of it all - like it or not, I'm convinced this is what's going on. I'll try to make it as clear as possible; hear me out.

In my mind, the Fox X-Men film series depicts 2 different universes:

UNIVERSE 1: All the films with X-Men in the titles, as well as The Wolverine

UNIVERSE 2: The Deadpool films (which will be from now on abbreviated as DP) and Logan.

This explains why Wade is the same age in DP1 (set in 2016) as he is in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (set in the 1970s or 1980s). Logan's X-Men: Days of Future Past time-traveling to 1973 couldn't possibly have changed Wade's Origins birth date, which must've been in the 40s or 50s. This also explains why Colossus has an American accent in the X-Men films and a Russian accent in the DP films. Therefore, the DP films are a separate universe where Wade was born a few decades later and Colossus was raised in Russia.

This also explains why there are many young mutant children at the school in the final scene of DOFP (set in the year 2023), whereas no new mutant children have been born in 25 years in Logan (set in the year 2029). They are separate universes.

Within these 2 universes are multiple timelines, caused by the fact that each universe has a different methods of time-travel:

In UNIVERSE 1, Kitty Pryde's time-traveling of Bishop's and Logan's consciousnesses into their younger bodies in DOFP rewrites timelines.

In UNIVERSE 2, Cable's device in the DP films causes timeline-branching.

Therefore:

UNIVERSE 1 first has its timeline rewritten at the beginning of DOFP, when Kitty sends Bishop back. It is then more fully rewritten, starting in 1973, by the ending of DOFP. The last we see of the OG timeline is when the Sentinels are about to wipe out the last X-Men, then that reality is erased. The last we see of the new timeline, and that universe in general, is Logan waking up to the new, happier future - and that's the end of OG Logan's story.

UNIVERSE 2 is not rewritten, but branched several times.

It gets its 1st branch from Cable when he first time-travels; he comes from a point in time several decades after the events of Logan and after Laura is pruned by the TVA.

It then gets a 2nd branch when Cable saves Wade.

It then gets a 3rd branch when Wade saves Vanessa. During the events of DP&W, Wade is living permanently in this 3rd branch, where Vanessa never died. This is not the same branch as the events of Logan. However, all the branches are within the same universe - which is why the events of Logan cause the TVA's plans to affect Wade's reality. And this is why Laura is able to stay in Wade's reality at the end of DP&W without causing a paradox - she comes from the original timeline of this universe, then relocates to its 3rd branch.

Side-note 1: In the infinite multiverse, many universes are extremely similar with one key event that causes it to unfold differently than another. In the case of UNIVERSE 2, it clearly has similarities to UNIVERSE 1 - in Logan, Charles references the Statue of Liberty incident that happens in X-Men 1, indicating that the events of the OG trilogy in UNIVERSE 1 also happened in a similar way in UNIVERSE 2. But the difference between the two universes unfolds in how mutants are wiped out:

In UNIVERSE 1, Trask develops the Sentinels and then the timeline-overwrite causes mutants to finally be accepted.

In UNIVERSE 2, Transigen develops the mutant-suppressing poison which is mixed into widely-consumed food, impacting mutations and stopping mutants from being born after 2004. (This is why Russell is 14 years old in the year 2018 in DP2; he was one of the last mutants to be born in 2004 before the poison started suppressing the X-gene in pregnancies in this universe. This is also the cause of the Westchester Incident in Logan; Charles is not affected by a regular human disease, but rather by the mutant food poisoning that only exists in this universe that has made his mutation unstable, and is further inflamed by the emotional after-effects of Erik’s sudden death from said poisoning).

Side-note 2: Cable's device also enables universe-hopping, as seen when Wade briefly visits the MCU and talks with Happy, then goes home, in DP&W. Clearly this is an ability that was engineered within the 6 years that pass between DP2 and DP&W so that Wade could reach the MCU, and in general do some reality-traveling without continuing to affect his own reality; he certainly wouldn’t have wanted to risk any meddling that would’ve jeopardized Vanessa’s salvation in the branch he created.

Side-note 3: You could also view Wade killing Weapon XI at the end of DP2 as another bit of universe-hopping, and possibly creating a branch in UNIVERSE 1. Or, you could view it as an unserious meta-joke that doesn’t actually have timeline implications, just like the X-Men somehow appearing young - including McAvoy!Charles - in the year 2018 in DP2, which is flat-out impossible in both universes and clearly only a joke.

Deadpool 2 (2018)

[not-psycho-sparkle]

Russel’s story has a very special place in my heart. On that note- CHARLES WHEN I CATCH YOU CHARLES HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY NOT SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THESE KIDS THROUGH CEREBRAL BUT CAN EASILY FIND THE ONES YOU TAKE TO YOUR SCHOOL!??

[lazlolullaby]

ONE (1) GLARING DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE FAILURE

On GOD WHERE THE HELL IS RUSSELL COLLINS?? WHERE IS MY LITTLE MAN FIREFIST??? FUCK?

What happened??? Saving his ass from becoming a villain was the second half of Deadpool 2!

THERE WAS A CONNECTION, MAN!

He was the bleeding, beating heart of Deadpool 2 and we didn't even get a throwaway line!

Nothing if he went to the X-Men or even just hung around at Wade and Vanessa's until he was 18! No "empty nest" jokes? No Negasonic telling Wade that Russell loves freaking out the mean kids and bonding with the scary ones?

Terrible movie 0/10.

The new current X-Factor is the unlucky superhero team like the redshirt X-Statix. Warren Worthington's new team of X-Factor (consisting of Warren Worthington III, Feral, Rusty Collins, and the two newer mutants, Xyber and Cameo) are the mutant celebrities when they go out on their dangerous mission to stop the Russian Mutant Mercenaries in the mutant arms race. The X-Factor have a disaster at both the Red Carpet and at their first mission. On the meeting at the Red Carpet, the new X-Factor are met with jeers and pelted rotten eggs from both humans and mutants. On their first mission, they go to Kunashir Island at Russia where they fight Darkstar and the mercenary mutants. The first mission ended with a disaster when Cameo and Darkstar's mercenaries accidentally blew up the power plant, causing the deaths and injuries of many mutants. Rusty, Feral and Cameo are killed while Warren was badly injured.

Later on, the newer X-Factor team are on the Red Carpet again with its new members consisting of Havok, Frenzy, Pyro, Cecilia Reyes and Granny Smite the oldest new mutant. Poor Xyber the newest and youngest mutant survivor is traumatized from the first mission yet he's forced to go on another potential dangerous mission with the rest of his substitute team.

while it certainly would be in-character for wade to genuinely not care about russell, i personally don't think that's the case here bc

movie!deadpool is waaaaay more morally good than his comic counterpart

if he really didn't care about russell, wade wouldn't bother fighting cable at all. he'd just haul ass and try to escape the icebox, or at least mind his own business

but the entire time he's in the icebox he actually looks out for russell. albeit in a callous way, but he is looking after the kid

he tells russell not to fight others and to befriend them instead bc wade can't keep him safe as long as he has the power-dampening collar on. when cable starts blowing up the place, he tells russell to get away from him bc wade thinks cable is after him and not russell. once he realizes who cable is after, he continues to protect russell by fighting back against cable, and letting russell have a chance to run away every time cable gets too close

and in this scene, i personally think he's doing that again: giving russell a chance to run while he has cable busy

he says he doesn't care about russell, but he immediately looks to make sure russell hears him. after russell leaves it's only then he finally reveals he pulled the pin on one of cable's grenades. it gives russell a chance to escape, and it gives the kid a reason to stop following him since he's the only one capable of going toe-to-toe with cable

considering that the entire time wade's been trying to protect him once they got thrown in the icebox together, getting the kid as far away as possible from him meant he needed to make sure russell thought wade wanted nothing to do with him

again, it's callous and hurtful, but it's effective, and russell finally leaves wade once he hears wade say that

of course, wade could sincerely mean it when he says he doesn't gaf about russell at all, especially since entering the icebox all he's done has told russell to fuck off

but the entire framing of this particular scene tells me otherwise

💁🏿‍♂️ Since DEADPOOL 2 cast a Maori actor as Firefist, I've been intrigued by the idea of Marvel retconning comic Rusty Collins as Maori.

There aren't many Polynesian characters in Big 2 comics (not even the X-Men, for all its diversity); even if the character remained vaguely tanned/White-passing w/ the reddish-blondish hair (🤔 think KJ Apa) it could add interesting background worth exploring & add deeper, richer context to his time w/ the New Mutants, MLF, etc.

Birthday remembrance - Russell Collins #botd

[resident-idiot-simp]

Russell who gets to find out The Wolverine is just a part of the family now because he walked in on him and Wade cuddling.

Ok so idk where the hell the kid went but just imagine him coming back entering Wade's apartment to tell him he is back and bro is on the couch cuddling with the FUCKING WOLVERINE. No context no nothing. Everyone knows the wolverine died but here he is and Wade your weird father figure is cuddling him.

Wade treats it like is normal like this isn't the most mind breaking thing to ever happen. Then another girl exists the kitchen to see was is going on and Wade just starts introducing them.
