*BEWARE SPOILERS* Deadpool & Wolverine (July 26th, 2024)

Rui Ram said:

I think the Deadpool IP should never take itself seriously. It’s baked into the character since he constantly breaks the fourth wall.

I would never put it up against the OG Trilogy in terms of lasting impact but I’m happy with the results since IMO it’s being true and respectful to the source material.

but then then don't have serious plots. then don't have serious villains. then don't have moments of sacrifice.
treat it like scary movie or meet the Spartans, treat it like a full parody. don't give me a sad story about wolverine. don't give me a redemption arc.
just have wolverine fart in front of Deadpool.
this is a Deadpool movie so don't have sad moments. don't have wolverine suffering.

Saw this today, I thought it was a lot of fun!

Pretty much all the cameos got spoiled the past couple weeks via screenshots popping up everywhere except

Spoiler

Chris Evans Johnny Storm which was freaking hilarious and all the variant Wolverines.

Fortunately it was still really enjoyable and I was surprised at how poignant they even managed to make Wolverine's arc.

I’m still trying to comprehend who DP really is.

His humor and 4th wall breaking is a gimmick that actually serves a purpose,the narrative is certainly not hurt by it.

He’s taking the audience on a journey WITH HIM vs a normal movie where the audience goes on a journey without the main protagonist personally inviting them to join.

You can have stakes and emotions while the gimmick is happening.

Deapool’s schtick is literally a 3D narrative minus the glasses.

In other words, you’re being too critical lol

I'm not gonna feel any emotion if there's some fart joke coming.
but did you feel bad for the characters in scary movie? do you feel any tension while watching not another teen movie? no you don't feel fear or tension or sadness. its a comedy. there's no real deep emotions.
I'm not even saying that this movie wasn't good or that scary movie wasn't good. I'm not saying Not another teen movie wasn't good

but Ryan wants to make a comedy with wall breaking and sex jokes. then commit to it. commit to the scary movie treatment.
don't give me a sob story about his girlfriend or wolverine or the kid from Deadpool 2. make the silly farty sex jokes and let it be a comedy.

In the early days of Pixar John Lasseter was quoted as saying "for every laugh a tear, for every tear a laugh" and with that mantra they pumped out classic after classic. The two don't have to be mutually exclusive.

I can't believe that they had Jackman play the straight man from beginning to end in a freaking Ryan Reynolds Deadpool movie and not come out being a total mockery. How the hell did they pull that off, he had more dignity than in his own non-comedic Wolverine/Deadpool Origins movie, lol.

Khev,

my initial reaction to this I was very upset because I walked into it fulling wanting and expecting a full MCU reboot with the Fox X-Men in their proper costumes joining the Endgame battle.

Can JAWS forgive me lol

Khev said:

Whoa...I can definitely seeing feeling let down then. Though as I think about it seeing the X-Men join a battle that we already saw play out in epic fashion and have largely moved on from might have felt a little...hollow?

I do like how they made it a fully satisfying swan song to the Fox-verse (including unironic tribute in the credits, which once again surprised me) while still accomplishing the hand-off to the MCU for wherever that goes (which will be either good or bad obviously but that isn't this film's problem.)

"Welcome to the MCU, though you've arrived at a bit of a low point," lol.

I absolutely lost my **** when Snipes came out on screen.

Khev said:

I was shocked at how freaking good he looked! Gosh thinking back to when X-Men came out in 2000, two short years after Blade, and *24 years later* we finally got to see him and Logan fighting side by side.

I never knew I needed to see that until today, lol.

Just reading your post is insane lol

Go back just a year and make that post and people would think you were crazy lol

Like legit Snipes was done at Marvel after placing David Goyer in a head lock then jail time for tax evasion. (I forgot if it was a headlock or did he put him up against a wall with his hand on his throat?)

Done!

Nope! lol

But this movie clearly proved that you can have emotional beats mixed with the humor because at the end of the day humor is a human emotion.

Are you saying that you’ve never watched any comedy with emotional story elements?

Is laughing not a human emotion?

Is laughing and humor not compensation for dealing with trauma?

After my dad passed away I was at his grave and my wife literally farted really loud and we both lauhed out loud.

I was like “reeeeally” lol

It was funny because my father’s favorite meal was the brasilian black bean pork beef stew dish called feijoada.
