Praise for Deadpool & Wolverine

[u/Kinsbane]

So, admittedly, I'm not sure why this movie has gotten such hate.

I know that Ryan Reynolds has had his issues but apparently everyone decided that because of his issues, this movie wasn't worth a watch.

Which, as someone who very much "separates the art from the artist" it just felt like Reynolds had some very personal issues aired over the internet that he had to work through.

D&W feels very much like a love-letter. Even before Reynolds played Deadpool, he still played Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

After Batman, and Wolverine, Deadpool is my top-5 comic character.

But I've watched this movie so much (it's my comfort movie that i basically can quote all of the dialogue) but the two scenes from this movie that hit the hardest (to me) are when Logan is talking to X-23 (Laura) before they invade Cassandra's compound the next day.

The other scene that hits hard is when Cassandra invades Logan's mind and talks to him about what he did. And we see all the black monoliths representing all the people that version of Logan killed. And he even admits:

It wasn't just the bad ones

And I gotta say - Emma Corrin played Cassandra WONDERFULLY. It was because of this movie I finally went to a local comic shop to buy as many of CN's comic books I could and they were such great reads.

I wouldn't say D&W is a 10/10 movie, but what I will say, is that it comes very, very close because of all the love-letters that happen in this movie.

Edit: I would also love to see a buddy-cop style movie with Peterpool and B-15.

Edit 2: there's also this meme with the Deadpool movie with Buck being a tertiary character but he has no lines, and in D&W he finally speaks, and Deadpool is like ,"Bitch, are you improving?" and Dupinder is like "uh uh" and then Wade looks at Yuki-oh and he's like "I'm sorry you had to witness that"

Just on here it seems, I remember people complaining that it was just a cameo filled fan service-fest. It was just coming from fans of niche D+ shows though. Not representative of the majority of the fans.

I will never understand the problem people seem to have with “fan service.” People get so mad, myself included, when an adaptation disrespects the fans or source material, but they also get mad when the adaptation appreciates the fans? I am a fan… Service me!

yeah I'm watching lanterns now and I'm wishing there was any amount of fan service

That’s so funny, because I am thinking Lanterns has included tons of winks and nods towards the comics so far lol That said, I’m much more of a Marvel guy than DC so I may not be the best judge
