6 Ways Deadpool Tried To Fool You
[sc name=”above_article”]
First things first – Deadpool is an outstanding movie, hands down. It might be lacking in the supporting cast department, but let’s not fool ourselves: we’re all watching it for Ryan Reynolds. Few weren’t close to writing him off after his rough patch. So many roles that he should have aced! Neither Hannibal King from Blade: Trinity, nor the Green Lantern brought the best out of Reynolds; even his first go at Deadpool didn’t hit the mark…
In 2016’s Deadpool, though, Reynolds seems a man reborn. His Wade Wilson is the centerpiece that eclipses all remaining characters, but whatever! With a lead role as hilarious and uncompromising as his, there’s no need for dessert – the main course is satisfying. Watch out for the spoilers ahead as we analyze some of Deadpool’s few but unforgivable errors at the art of comedy.
Should have bought a pig in a poke

I’m not going to laugh at that two times! Deadpool is amongst an army of guilty movies, but that doesn’t make the practice any less damnable – nowadays, all gags are being stuffed into trailers. I get it, they have to prove the movie is fun enough for me to spend money on it, but why would I go to the theater to see something I have already enjoyed? So far as comedic aspects are concerned, watching the red band trailers is almost equal to seeing the actual thing. Juice Newton’s “Angel of the Morning” and DMX’s “X Gon’ Give It To Ya” were supposed to hit the viewer on the face, the tunes woven superbly into some memorizable scenes, but… Again – I’ve already been impressed by that once. In the trailer. I’m not easily impressed twice.

Needs a smidgin of evil

Don’t get me wrong, it’s always commendable when a movie tries to depict the original version as closely as possible – it certainly would have been both easier and more marketable to stage a villain more renowned that Ajax. Bad guys are supposed to be evil and cruel, though, and the only truly cruel thing about Ajax is his existence. You know, it makes us watch him. Ouch. What works well in a comic does not necessarily cut it in a movie – poor characters, for instance. Would Ajax be able to single-handedly take down Deadpool? All I know is I’d gladly get rid of Ajax myself.

Start joking again, please, stop being serious

I just didn’t need to see half of the serious stuff – at least a quarter could have been taken out and it wouldn’t have hurt the plot at all. An enormous part of the downbeat segments is nothing else but fillers. We get it, some love has to be there, but this is not the kind of movie that needs to shove corny romance down my throat every few scenes. As if I could forget that you love him, Vanessa. Only a genius can craft a movie in which the fun parts blend seamlessly into the plot. For the lack of a cinematographical mastermind, why didn’t they, at least, go harder on aftereffects? Some more explosions even the dawdling lab scenes would have been exciting. After seeing some of Deadpool’s extravagances, so to call it, I just won’t shed a tear for his struggles.

Nowhere to go now

From a particular standpoint, maybe it’s good that Deadpool is not a movie visibly designed as a foothold for a whole series of sequels? It almost makes me feel as if the creators wanted to film something good, not get stinking rich… The truth is, though, there’s a sequel to everything nowadays and Deadpool just doesn’t have a quality opening for one. Judging from the post-credits, Cable could be a clue, but this guy deserves a movie on his own. He’s not the only possibility, Domino, X-Force, and Taskmaster are still there, fortunately. But how to continue a franchise based on Deadpool’s constant claims that we have never seen a superhero movie quite like his? I mean, now we have. It seems like the creators have a tough job now, with either turning into a whole new direction or taking the plunge, trying to better themselves. But the bar is high, so the fall may hurt.

Won’t make for a classic

Original Star Wars movies might have been filmed decades ago, but they still have something to them that makes following generations fall for them. I can’t say the same for Deadpool – it is so heavily based on the current pop culture with its omnipresent references and gags comprehensible only to someone thoroughly rooted in the present. Mama June and her opposite-of-adorable daughter, Honey Boo Boo, are (luckily!) fading away already. That may be because they are such a fluke of success in the first place, but even brands as colossal as Hello Kitty or Adventure Time will disappear one day, still present only in the memories of some dull old people. Yikes, that will be us!

We can see through you, Wade

Reynold’s character had me as soon as he started to put down every superhero I know one after the other. Amusingly cruel, mercilessly hilarious. Then I realized that schoolchildren should be made to watch Deadpool in the class that explains what hypocrisy is. Take just a minute to analyze Wade Wilson – do trust me, “analyze” is too grand a word to describe those thought processes – and you will see he’s every inch the same as the characters he makes fun of. Didn’t Captain America suffer physical torture to be granted his super powers? Didn’t Wolverine completely demolish the laboratory where he was treated like a guinea pig? And let’s not mention the fact that the lead’s girlfriend simply HAS to end up in the hands of some evildoers. I mean there’s no other way to have an awesome final scene, right? Right? I don’t mean to be mean at all, but hilarious is not Wade’s only H-word. And yes, the other one is Hypocrytical. (As Hell.)
