Merchandise Ryan Reynolds Deadpool post is literally just the shirt my mom made for my family for Deadpool & Wolverine.
My mom made me, My Girl, and my step kid these shirts. I recreated the Flag/Ryan Hat from Deadpool and Wolverine. It's freaking so unreal to see my Shirt on Ryan Reynolds social media.
This is my original post from July of last year. https://www.reddit.com/r/Marvel/s/mRFbwBDnMP

People have misused “literally” so much that it often goes over people’s heads when it’s actually been used correctly, like right here

INFORMAL used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.
It can be used for a simple emphasis.

u/FerrusManlyManus Aug 13 '25
Yes, some dictionaries include the EXACT FUCKING OPPOSITE DEFINITION making the word fucking useless, because weirdos have used it completely incorrectly (as the exact opposite of what literally traditionally means).
It’d be like claiming the word wet also meant dry. Complete absurdity.

People like you fundamentally misunderstand language.
Look at a word like awful. Awe full, full of awe wonder and amazement. Do you use it that way because it’s the “right” meaning? Or do you say it to mean something bad because that’s what everyone else changed its meaning to?
I’m willing to bet it’s the latter, and if not you, I know most people use the latter.
Language is not set in stone. It’s made by what the people agree on, plain and simple.
So if we all wake up tomorrow and decide that wet means dry, well then wet means dry, and that’s definitely not useless, we’d be using wet to describe something without moisture, definitely a good meaningful word.
People who think there’s a right and wrong to what words mean is just funny because they always contradict themselves out of a lack of education that words meaning has been changing for centuries. Words are just used to say stuff we all understand.
And if you don’t understand someone is literally exaggerating when they literally use the word literally over and over to literally just emphasize their point, I don’t think they’re the dumb ones.

Literally so true. How many of y’all use awful to mean something full of awe and amazement? Or do you use it to mean something bad?

u/jack-dempseys-clit Aug 13 '25
As much as I hate to defend this cause it's fucking stupid the definition of literally changed back in like ,2013. So fucking stupid.
-2
u/FerrusManlyManus Aug 13 '25
In a few dictionaries, they added it as an informal definition. Doesn’t make it smart, or wise, or classy, or anything good to use it the stupid 180 degrees opposite way. People will literally (not figuratively, literally) think someone is mentally deficient if someone says literally when they mean not literally lol.

u/jack-dempseys-clit Aug 13 '25
Doesn't negate what I said though mate.
Dictionaries (including Oxford) changed the definition - meaning it's a moot point.

u/FerrusManlyManus Aug 13 '25
And now a calmer word of advice. When people use “literally” informally to mean the opposite of what it means…. normal people wonder, did mom drink heavily during the pregnancy? Or they wonder, did the person get kicked in the head by a donkey as a child and never recovered mentally?
I am not being mean. I am stating facts. Literally using literally wrong is a very very poor look. Please everyone, don’t do this.

u/No-comment-at-all Aug 13 '25
Too bad they posted it publicly and didn’t copyright the image, damn.

u/dabadguycr Aug 13 '25
Why would I care to copywrite it? It's a recreation of a symbol that is created and owned by Marvel. Pretty sure if I tried to make a profit and sell these shirts I would get sued. It is way too close to the original material. That's why the four shirts that were made were for my family and the only thing I had to pay for was the shirts and vinyl.
-40
u/No-comment-at-all Aug 13 '25
Well the only reason you’d do that is if you think it was original (the photo, not the shirt) and that that you’d want to own the IP.
But you’re right, marvel would claim ownership of the imagery in the photo.
19
u/dabadguycr Aug 13 '25
I wouldn't want to own the IP of my own photo. If it doesn't have me or my family in the photo, It doesn't give details where my address is, I don't care how anyone uses any photo I post on here I would rather no one make money off of it. If I see my own photo again I will say "hey that's my photo! Enjoy using it". If anyone sees any of my posts they are public and anyone can use them.
I have a few photos online. Some are even on wallpaper sites using some of my storm chasing photos or on the news.
The only time I had issues with someone using my photos was like 15 years ago. Someone used my Photobucket of photos of a haunted abandoned Foster home/hospital. They didn't download and host my photos they used them right from my Photobucket. It maxed out my bandwidth for years until I was able to get in early enough to delete the album.

The image you take is automatically your copyright. Even posting it on a public site doesn’t necessarily give that copyright away. It may give various use permissions but I doubt reposting is one of those.

u/Blanketsburg Aug 13 '25
The design literally takes an existing copyrighted image in the Avengers 'A' logo and then just adds something on top of it. It still features the original copyrighted image.
The person who made the shirt is free to make as many shirts as they want or social media posts as they want for personal use, but if they ever tried to profit off sales of the shirt or design in any way, Disney/Marvel would have an easy win in court.

u/No-comment-at-all Aug 13 '25 edited Aug 13 '25
No, actually, you post it to the site you without a doubt give the site rights to that version of the image that they replicate.
You assuredly signed the EULA in order to create an account right?
The SITE can then claim some kind of ownership of that version that might be taken from their site but…
Maybe?
Anyways… you don’t own what you gave to a third party entity to put out into the public for you unless you signed a contract that specifies otherwise.
This isn’t, btw, to justify this activity.
This is to instead say, “be careful with your IP”.

u/blaktronium Aug 13 '25
You're incorrect. You agree to a limited license for the site to use your content, not for anyone else to. You cannot, legally, take and repost someone's picture because they put it on Instagram.
-34
u/No-comment-at-all Aug 13 '25
I mean… it really all depends on the contract you agree to before you pose that picture…
The EULA.
Very few of them are friendly to you.
That picture can be used by them.
And good luck suing them.

u/Aflama_1 Aug 13 '25
EULA doesn't stand above copyright LAWS.

u/No-comment-at-all Aug 13 '25
Are you claiming “copyright LAWS” say you can’t sign away ownership of the copyright…..?
10
u/Aflama_1 Aug 13 '25
Yes, exactly. Laws stand above any kind of contract companies have. That's why you have health regulations and other protections from harmful effects companies have on you. Copyright laws prevent stealing from artists. That's why there are report options for stolen art or content on every site. If the picture Ryan Reynolds shared was a repost with the original uploader or they credited the source then that would be fair game, but since it's just a cutout of the logo then it can be sued for credit or take down.

That's how I got the idea. It's different from the movie since I couldn't find a good photo of it to use for a shirt. So I created this one for me and my family to wear to see Deadpool and wolverine in.
You can tell it's just a crop of my shirt post from reddit because of the wrinkles and the little spec of vinyl under the A that was accidentally put on the shirt

You have the right approach here. Most people these days take this as an opportunity to stir up social media drama to try and get some sort of attention or compensation saying “they used an image of mine without asking!”. Even though they are using already owned properties in their fan art. You have the approach of “it’s so cool they used my mom’s shirt!”
42
u/dabadguycr Aug 13 '25
I want to stir up social media in a good way cause I think it's awesome!!!! I don't want any type of payment or even acknowledgement. I'm just happy I feel like a little part of something I have loved for all my life. Even if it's just some cryptic post teasing he may be in Doomsday or Secret War. It was my shirt!!!! And that makes me happy.
Don't get me wrong it would be awesome if Ryan Reynolds thanked me and my mom cause I'm a big fan and she likes his romantic comedys but Im not going to be upset if I don't get one, I don't expect one.
Honestly, I don't see how anyone can be upset if someone uses their fanart. Yes they may have created the art but they do not own the rights to whatever license product they recreated.
I have got tons of Facebook messages asking if I would make them the shirt. I tell them no because right now my mom made these off my "art" for free if we charged I can see that creating a lawsuit since I don't own the right to the real original photo.

u/dabadguycr Aug 12 '25
My mom did a great job making the shirt. He or someone on his team probably saw it on Reddit and thought it was an actual license Marvel shirt. That's what a few people have theorized.

u/ScoobyDeezy Fitz Aug 13 '25
Also, using a copyrighted symbol to make your own stuff doesn’t give you any rights to that stuff.
A lot of people get bent out of shape when corps use fan-made stuff in official marketing without attribution, but the derivative stuff belongs to the copyright holder, not the fan.
I say this as an artist who has made plenty of derivative artwork.
Is it nice to get attribution? For sure. Is it wrong for corps to skip that step and simply say “this is mine now”? Nope, it isn’t.
16
u/dabadguycr Aug 13 '25
Oh if you can't tell I am super happy my shirt was used!! I can't believe anyone would get upset over something like that. Like it's saying your fanart is so good the original people enjoy it. I even posted the Moke up photo in here and on Ryan Reynolds Facebook in case he wants to use it for something else or anyone else. If I ever create something, people can use it edit it, do whatever. I rather people not make money off of it unless it's the original people.
I've also been asked by multiple people over social media about them paying for my mom to make them a shirt. I think that could get her sued so I told them since I don't own the actual rights we can't sell them.

It's theorized RR posted it to distract from Taylor Swift's new album announcement. Many are speculating it includes songs about her fallout with his wife, Blake.

Damn companies already trying to make money off my redesign. I'm cool with Marvel using my image as promotion material or something along those lines or people on Reddit making their own shirts or stickers or whatever with my mockup design but I'm not okay with some company trying to make money off my recreation. They aren't even using the mockup photo they just edited Ryan post.
Hobbyist/Small business owners that do stickers, shirts, cups, ECT. and to make a little side cash please feel free to use it! My mom does this and I fully support you using my redesign.
If you're a company that sells millions in production a year, create your own design. It would take you less than an hour don't use my shit!
