The GENIUS of DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE (and the staggering emptiness of nerd sh*t) SPOILERS

  • Hello, friendo. Welcome to my sprawling, barely coherent attempt at explaining why I loved Deadpool & Wolverine (that's the movie that I'll be talking about for the majority of our time together in case it wasn't clear from the thumbnail and the title of this video. Some other movies that will come up will be the TMNT movies from the previous decade as well as Free Guy, another film staring Ryan Reynolds. Uh...I think I talked about the original X-Men flick from 2000 for a minute. Speaking of, we will also be talking about Hugh Jackman (did you hear that Algo? I said HUGH JACKMAN). Don't worry about the "emptiness of nerd sh*t" bit yet. We'll get to that in due time. For now, just relax and enjoy the ride. Oops, did I say something you found objectionable? Make sure to tell me about it in the comments! Are you still reading this?! Just click play, my guy. If it's not clear, I'm just amusing myself and I've got another 3,907 characters to go. And believe me, I'm just getting warmed up. Have you ever thought about the fact that there are people out there who say "diamond dozen" as an expression meaning "this thing is very common." Or say that they "COULD care less." Does that not terrify you? I swear, it keeps me up at night. I'm actually getting a little bored now, so why don't you just pretend that this rambles on for a lot longer.
    This is a video about the Marvel movie Deadpool & Wolverine in case there's still some confusion about what this video is about. It has spoilers. Maybe I should have put that at the top...Oh well, people don't really care about that stuff, do they....?

    Deadpool’s main thing (in the comics at least and to some extent in the movies) is that he uses comedy and sarcasm to hide his pain and evil impulses. In all 3 DP films he’s either deeply insecure, feeling purposeless or depressed in one way or another

    Tbh if you think that a deadpool movie couldn't be built around a romantic plot or lower stakes then you really did stop reading the original run early.
    90s Deadpool, esp Joe Kelly's Deadpool, while still having its meta qualities, was much more toned down on that aspect compared to later iterations; esp after the popularity of Daniel Way's version or after Deadpool Kills the marvel universe.

      I did, but I checked back in here and there over the years and never saw anything to make me think differently. Get’s married to Captain Marvel because she’s blackout drunk, get’s married to the literal daughter of Satan, has a protracted mostly-one-sided love triangle with Thanos and literal Death. These are jokes, not serious contenders for actual romances, and all of them played on the trope of the hideous guy who for reasons beyond human comprehension keeps being able to pull beautiful women. He’s a Lothario, not a Don Juan, and his numerous, usually brief and bizarre, love affairs are played for laughs. The movie attempted to make him both at the same time, and it just doesn’t work because they are essentially different character types.

      The dead wife of T-Ray, the original Wade Wilson, killed by Deadpool before he assumed T-Ray’s previous identity as Wade Wilson and then resurrected years later so that T-Ray could craft some insanely convoluted plot that to get DP to fall in love with her so that he could then reveal that he had been her killer? That Mercedes Wilson? What about her? Sorry man, I don’t really feel like that’s a big game changer. Doesn’t it end with Pool laughing the whole thing off and her leaving with T-Ray?

    I went in to this movie with zero expectations that I would enjoy it. Instead, I was shockingly surprised by how much fun it was. Which means I was pumped to see this video come up on my feed. Another video perfectly describing what I am unable to 👍🏼👍🏼

      Interesting.
      I also went into this movie with zero expectations and came out of it with about 2 hours shorter lifespan, and the realization that Dafne Keen can't act.
      It's sad that this kind of soulless, "hey, remember this thing you liked in the previous movie" stuff is considered good nowadays.

    I remember being bullied for drawing super heroes from justice league, specially Martian ManHunter, and after like 10 years they became popular and I was so pissed for a couple of years.
    Kind of unrelated haha but I totally get you. I grew up from 0 with hero movies and comic books, animated shows, etc. This movie felt like a love letter and I honestly loved it.

    Such a weird movie, I can't organize my thoughts about it at all. It's the best possible movie disney could possibly allow anyone to make. It's also a nonsensical mess if judged just as a movie. I will be one of those people and call it an infinite budget fan film. A bunch of people putting on their cosplay and having a pretend brawl with someone's hot sister on the forefront of it is fan film stuff.

    I agree. Wade and Logan should have died and remain dead.
    Perhaps it's just that American's love a happy ending that kept this from being the end of them.

      My feeling is that modern audiences can’t really deal with the idea of loss. Even in Free Guy, they had to bring back the best friend who had that incredible death scene. Death is too serious, too permanent. It’s got to be turned into something Nerfy.
