I will say that I did enjoy the Jim Carrey vibe I got from Reynolds. He obviously had a lot of fun with this role.

Still, though. Awful, awful movie.

"If you thought this movie was stupid, you're missing the point! It's SUPPOSED to be stupid!"

Why don't these people apply the same logic to Pixels? Or basically any shitty comedy?
I haven't seen anyone use that logic, tbh.
I've seen at least five people make the argument on this website.
Huh. Must've missed it while I was gone, I guess. It's understandable if you don't like the humor though, it's not for everyone.

Even though I personally enjoyed the movie I'm actually kind of surprised at how successful it was. I'd thought most people wouldn't enjoy it.

I fail to see how it wasn't his humor.
Breaking the fourth wall, rambling, pessimism about his condition. All pretty spot on.

Deadpool is capable of smart humour. Not this gradeschool bullshit. That's why I said it was a parody of Deadpool.

The best Deadpool moments lack sexuality/swearing/gore etc.

Also the movie lacked his schizophrenia. Which is a shame because that actually results in some clever moments everywhere else.

Apparently the first cut went off the rails with his schizophrenia and it was edited down into a manageable movie.

I wonder if they'll release a director's cut.

It is odd to me that it's done so well. He's a minor character in the marvel universe and even his recent popularity doesn't really account for the numbers.

It'll be interesting to see if the sequel does well or if this was just a one off.

Actually, he's been quite popular in the last ten years.  He's had his own comic, several spin offs and has been front and center for every Marvel event from the Secret Invasion.  Is he as popular as the main line heroes like Wolverine or the Avengers? No. But he has had his share of popularity.

Pretty sure that Deadpool and Spider-man are the only reason Marvel Comics are even still in business.

You do realize not every movie needs to have a five layer plot commenting on society right?

Sometimes I just want to go to a movie and watch some mindless action with some cheesy jokes

Not really.

The Avengers, X-Men and Iron Man have been selling well, Spider-man recovered slowly after One More Day thanks to Superior Spider-man and Deadpool is meh imho.

Nowhere near as well as Deadpool and Spider-man to my knowledge.

Are you talking about sales or quality of comics in this post? My guy's been telling me he couldn't even afford to sell Marvel's stuff without Deadpool and Spider-man.

Deadpool is the fictional embodiment of "le so randumb" 2010-11 humor.

He didn't start off that way, but yeah. It's unfortunate because there are a few moments where you really see the brilliance of a fourth-wall-breaking, schizophrenic anti-hero. Even outside the comics.

Quality, for the most part. I've never really liked Deadpool all that much, so yeah. Spider-man has been great now.

But my favorite comic series has been Thor: God of Thunder and Captain America from the MARVEL NOW! imprint.

Oh, right. See, I was talking strictly sales-wise. Marvel Comics might not be able to publish as many comics as they do without their two front-runners.

You should read the "Sins of the Past" miniseries. It was before Deadpool became the cancer he is now, and it's one of my favourite runs. Or "With Great Power, Comes Great Coincidence", where Deadpool is sent back in time and disguises himself as Peter Parker. One of the funniest runs in the character's history, IMO.

I've mostly dropped comics entirely for the past few months. Just can't seem to enjoy them like I used to. I think the last series I really liked was Superman Unchained by Snyder and Lee... just an awesome run.

I'll check it out.

But check these ones out:





They are really, extremely well written, and you don't need to know anything before hand since these are new stories, well old now, but still incredibly good!

I feel like I've read that Captain America issue before... looks vaguely familiar.

I can say that I've never enjoyed Thor much, though. He's like... Superman, without all the things that make Superman good.

The one Korra referenced has Thor wrestling with what it means to be a god. It's actually VERY good.

Thor is like Superman if Superman was a Norse God. I mean, you'll enjoy it since it tackles with the concepts of Godhood and Atheism.

The Deadpool movie had several layers. If all you saw was mindless violence and nudity, you missed the point.

Deadpool has always been a foil on comics taking themselves too seriously. With what Marvel and DC have been doing with the shared universes, Deadpool becomes a necessity.

If you look closely, he called out Hugh Jackman and Robert Downey Jr on becoming Wolverine and Iron Man. The sets took a shit on the concept of the shared universe. The final fight was on a decommissioned helicarrier. Hydra Bob was in it, despite Hydra being Disney's property.

Yes, the story is cliche and full of tropes, it was designed that way. The movie's cast and production crew were openly giving the finger to every comic movie out.

I realized all of this.

It was still bad.

1. No, he hasn't. He evolved to be a parody of "serious, edgy comics" but he wasn't designed with that in mind.
2. "With shared universes, Deadpool becomes a necessity." Why? I've yet to see one thing wrong with these "shared universes." Marvel has handled it perfectly, and DC has yet to demonstrate their competency. But judging by the fact that their second movie in the universe is a cross-over movie and that Batman makes an appearance in what is essentially DC's Guardians of the Galaxy, I'm not really too worried about this. At least, the "shared universe" part.

Awesome. Except, there's really no good reason to "shit" on either of those actors, especially considering they've become almost synonymous with their characters.

It was designed to be stupid.

The difference being, "every comic movie out" usually aren't completely trash in their execution. Say what you will about capeshit, but The Winter Solider? Guardians of the Galaxy? Quality movies. We haven't had a truly bad comic book movie since... Iron Man 3?

It's quite funny that the movie has the "balls" to shit on other studios' work and ideals but delivers such a poor show of their own.

Saying the movie has "many layers" is just a dishonest assessment of what the movie was going for.

The second Thor movie was a dumb waste of time.
