Join us for this latest installment of Cape or Cap, where we dive deep into Once Upon a Deadpool!

Today our "Ryan & Hugh Road Trip" cleans up its act with a visit to Once Upon A Deadpool —the edited, cleaned-up, family-friendly version of the box office success Deadpool 2 that explores Wade Wilson working alongside killers, assassins, and future men with cybernetic arms all in the hopes of building a family. We’ll break down the plot, dissect the characters, and tackle the big questions:

• Is this good storytelling?
• How does it compare to other films, comics, and larger narratives?
• What was happening behind the scenes during the creation of this production and after its release?
• And as always, is this a "cape" or a "cap"?

Also for the algorithm real quick. I'm just

gonna say Fire Fist a lot for because I figured that this

might entice our one piece fans. So Fire Fist. Hi, I'm chamar

Griffith and I'm Andrew Tejada. We're going through superhero

productions to let you know if they're still fun or the hype

around it was dumb on Cape or cap, a Black Nerd superhero

Welcome to this week's installment of Cape or cap, a

podcast.

Black Nerd superhero podcast. My name is Chamar Griffith,

codename ComicChams. And I am Andrew Tejada, codename Arete.

Andrew and I have known each other since 1996 that was the

year Ryan Reynolds appeared in the Sabrina, the Teenage Witch

movie, not the series, the movie as hot guy. Seth, that's his

name. That's his description on Wikipedia. Wow. You know, it's

funny, because I was just thinking about it. For some

reason I feel like Seth was a strong name back in the 90s. For

some weird reason, yeah, that was, like, it was very, maybe,

because close to the Egyptian set, you know, very, that's very

big energy. And now, yeah, I don't, I know, like one. Seth,

now, just one. He's cool. He's cool, though he's the best chef

I know. Shout out to Seth, so that is a tongue twister, but

yes, shout out to Seth, thank you for cooking up everything,

especially hopefully you weren't inspired. Your name wasn't

inspired by the Ryan Reynolds character, that one random

Sabrina Teenage Witch movie. But in today's episode of our

podcast, we are going to be focusing heavily on Ryan

Reynolds, the man, the myth, the legend. I personally like him

because he's he plays the same character in all of his stuff,

so I appreciate the guy that could make that work. Hey, it's

working. It's working from you don't if it ain't broke, but

today we are talking about the character that is probably the

most famous of his as we are talking about the third Deadpool

movie that he made and produced, which is called Once upon a

Deadpool. That's right, we are actually Deadpool actually has a

four movie saga that is not a trilogy. There is actually a

movie in between two and three. Yes, and technically, this is a

two for one review, because we're actually, this is

basically Deadpool two with some extra stuff. So it's, this is

also a review of Deadpool two, yeah. So we had a runtime of 120

minutes. This 2018 film had a very limited release. This is

the first Deadpool movie that is actually rated PG 13, and it was

directed by David Leach, who is the director behind such

productions such as well the the original Deadpool too, uh, Fast

and Furious, Hobbs and Shaw bullet train, atomic blonde and

another recent great film, which is a great love letter to all

the stunt work And stunt people out there who are doing the

things to make us love these superhero movies and action

movies as a whole. Fall Guy, yes, you can definitely tell

it's a David leash movie, because while they do, you know,

he is not afraid of CGI. He definitely tries to do as much

in camera stunt work as possible. So definitely, if you

somehow have not seen any of those, at least one. Go watch at

least one of them. Yeah, I think, I think at some points

this, all of these movies have played in various households of

my I'm not rich. I just meant by like, hopping around to

different family members each they haven't played in at least.

Like two of these movies have played back to back in the house

at any given point. And we got our rider duo here today. We got

Rhett Reese, famous for putting together all three Deadpool

movies, including the recent one, Deadpool and Wolverine.

Don't worry, we're not going to be spoiling any of the film.

I've seen it. Have you seen it? Yeah. Well, yeah, I've seen it.

All I can spoil is, it is now the highest grossing R rated

movie of all time. Yes, yes. It has beaten Joker. It has beaten

Passion of the Christ. At the top of the I'm not gonna say the

line from the movie. So, along with the Deadpool movies, Rhett

also wrote for Zombieland, GI Joe Retaliation and for the kids

in the audience, because today's film wants to play on Deadpool

is a family film at rated at PG 13. He also wrote Tarzan two, as

well as Clifford's really big movie, which is not. Live action

movie, which I think you saw Andrew one time, and you said

that it upsets you to your core. Oh, oh yeah, I've blocked it

out. I've blocked out that movie almost completely that that one

was, there's no time. I'm not getting that time back. And

Rhett worked alongside, once again, Paul Wernick, who also

wrote all the Deadpool movies, along with Rhett, as well as a

lot of his claim to fame, which is basically Big Brother on Big

Brother two, sorry on CBS. Oh the Sure, yeah. It was the most

random thing. I was like, You know what? For a Deadpool movie,

I would not expect less. Um, other fun thing about this

movie, this movie is currently rated at a 56% on Rotten

Tomatoes, and has a similar score amongst the audiences. And

I guess it's more so because of the reason why they cut out a

lot of the stuff that makes it rated R and changes the F word

to family. Yeah. So it's a half and a half whether we're going

to love it or hate it. It's this is ideal for a caper cap. Uh,

right down the middle. Going to the cast list real quick. We got

Ryan Reynolds. Is the Merc of the mouth, aka Deadpool, aka

Wade Wilson. Uh, Josh Brolin was famous at this point amongst

Marvel entirely during these years, because not only was he

playing Thanos in The Avengers movies, he was also cable here

in our movie today. Miranda bachern is Vanessa Carlisle. We

know her more famously on the DC side, but she is here as the

love interest for Deadpool. Julian Denison plays the

embodiment of teenage rage as Russell aka Fire Fist. Stephen

capichi is Colossus. This will be his second time returning

into the role. TJ Miller operates the bar where Deadpool

goes to get a drink at a couple times. So he's the quick tongue

named character named weasel. Oh yes, and let's address this

right away. We know he's canceled. We know. Oh, last news

to me. TJ Miller, you're canceled. Yeah, it really

started with him calling a false bomb threat on a train. Oh,

that's something he did after that. Some other stuff came out,

reports that weren't as substantiated, but he definitely

did that train thing. Um, so he is, we don't he's canceled just,

uh, as we go forward. Just wanted to let us let you know

right away, all right, for the sake of this episode, then, uh,

we will quickly pass by most of the his scenes. And if we need

to reference who he is, we'll just go by weasel Next up,

Brianna Hildebrand returns as Negasonic Teenage Warhead. The

longest named character I feel like I've ever heard of. The

only person that's beating her right now is bakugo in My Hero

Academia. Honestly, we got Leslie Uggams as blind l Caron

Sani as dopender, and finally, coming into this movie to help

help the duo that we have here today, we have zazzy beats as

Domino. All right, with that, let's put in some maximum effort

and watch once upon the Deadpool. So we start

differently from the original Deadpool two opens with an

extended scene of violence, with the Yakuza and Deadpool slicing

it up, but limbs go flying and blood goes not in the PG 13

version. So instead, we open with Fred Savage tied to the

bed. Um, and if, if you have not seen Princess Bride, Fred Savage

was the kid in Princess Bride. The plot of that is that Fred

Savage is sick and sick boy, and his grandpa reads him a story

that he doesn't want at first, but then he gets into it. So

Deadpool does a take on that by tying him to the bed, kidnapping

Fred Savage and forcing him to listen to Deadpool, the story of

Deadpool two read by Deadpool in this fake bedroom set. I do

appreciate that, because I have never actually seeing the

Princess Bride? I mean, it's, it's like, it's one of those

things where it's like, if you didn't see it, right, when you

were a kid, you you see it at age 30. It's one of the other

number, yeah. So, yeah, that's, that's a brief rundown so you

understand, like, what if you haven't seen Princess Bride? Now

you know what they were making fun of the whole time. If you

haven't, then again, I could see why some people immediately were

like, what's going on?

Um, also, sorry, I also forgot to mention the other crazy thing

about this film. Um, technically, this is a Christmas

film. Um, given the fact that was released around Christmas,

all the advertisements had Christmas themes, we will see

how much of a Christmas film this truly is. Um, as we

continue on with Deadpool is introducing the fact that,

because it's PG 13, they're cutting down a lot of stuff, um,

the only even mentioning that the only F word that we're going

to be using in this movie is Fred. So as we mentioned,

opening up to how Deadpool two opened up. Deadpool has been

operating now for about two years. He takes on the the

acousa. He meets up with dopender, who drives him back

the Pinder starts sharing a very heartfelt confession to Deadpool

in which after the events of Deadpool one, so previously on

Deadpool, Dopinder had locked up his love interest, the

competition for his love interest inside the back of his

car. And well, since this is PG 13, we'll just say that this

person did not make it to the sequel. And he says that because

of that, he has this newfound lust for being a part of what

Deadpool does. So he wants to go out there and make a name for

himself. So Deadpool, at first is against this, but eventually

he's like, we'll figure something out. So as Deadpool

heads out the car, he runs up to his apartment, where he's

greeted by Vanessa, because today is their anniversary,

after all the events that happened when they had

separated, and now they're together again, and it's a

wonderful thing where they engage in the kiss. And this is

when Deadpool cuts back to Fred Savage, and it's waiting for him

to say the line. I had to research this because, again,

never saw Princess Bride. Yeah, I could chime in here, too.

Okay, cool. I don't know what I'm talking about here. So the

original Princess Bride, the story the grandfather reads to

Fred Savage. It starts out as heavy focus on romance, but then

it becomes adventure pirates, etc. So at the beginning, before

we get to the adventure part, the grandfather mentioned the

kiss between the two romantic leads, and Fred Savage goes, Is

this a kissing story? Gross. So because Vanessa and Deadpool

kiss, Deadpool was waiting for that line again. That's just, I

don't fear out of it, but that's so now that they're celebrating

their anniversary, they're thinking about, what's it going

to look like for them to expand their family as they're just

running jokes about what name they should have for their kid.

The other thing, though, that does happen is, as Deadpool is

warming up a pop tart while they're watching Barbra

Streisand film and trying to figure out why Papa, can you

hear me? Sounds very much like another Disney song, they

immediately get attacked by the same group of people that

Deadpool was trying to take out earlier in the film. Yes, and

unfortunately, he uses all his knives before the last villain

get there, gets there. He only has a butter knife, and it's not

enough. He misses and Vanessa is shot dead. And this is probably

one of my favorite cutaways to Fred Savage, where he just

immediately screams, you fridged Vanessa. You know, in comic

books, when they kill the female love interest, the development

of the male. You did that, you did that. And it's a great

discussion and a great lampshade because, yes, that's I think,

anyone who has seen Deadpool two, one of the things that

people have disagreed with on it is the decision to kill Vanessa

off for character development, for the plot to happen. So it

was nice to get a shot at that, but it did create a bit of a

problem, because the joke, the joke is great, but it comes

literally in the middle of her dying. So we go back and she's

still dying. So tonally, it kind of ruins the the really gut, the

gut punch you got in the original of that happening is

kind of like because they put a joke right in the middle of it.

Kind of loses its edge a bit. Yeah, I agree. I remember even

watching the movie originally in theaters, and I remember my jaw

drop because I was just like, man, we just spent the entire

previous film of him working towards getting her back, in

after putting himself through all this, all these things in

order to, just to create a life of her. And you know, it gave

Deadpool a strong sense of substance to me, even though it

is one of the most comedic films you could probably watch. So,

yeah, I agree this. Like. In the moment scene, I feel like it was

better served for people like men like you mentioned that I

already saw this happening. And obviously Wade Deadpool is very

upset about this, so he starts chasing after the guy, very much

like Peter Parker chasing after the guy that shot Uncle Ben um.

And you know, you think in that moment, given the fact that

Deadpool is an assassin, given the fact that Deadpool tends to

have no regard for like the villa on the side of things, you

think he will kill this guy. Instead, he embraces him in the

rain, and then turns around to have him get thrown into a

trunk, ultimately killing it, right? Yeah, as we know,

Deadpool heals, so that doesn't really affect him at all, but

it's a great, a great way to dispatch the enemy. And now Wade

is devastated. Doesn't know what to do with his life, so he's

just in the bar all the time with weasel. And this is where

he makes the connection between, do you want to build a snowman?

And gentle, and I, this is one of my favorite jokes. I'm glad

that one made it into the final cut of this, because, yeah,

it's, it's the same song. Go listen to it side by side, Papa.

Can you hear me? Do you want to build us? Well, yep, yep, same

thing. So this point, Wade is just floundering. He dopender

and weasel can't cheer him up. He's just a disgusting mess.

Even buck the the bar patron can't cheer him up, and I do.

I'm glad they circle back to that in the later film about him

not getting any speaking lines. So now just truly, truly lost

Deadpool goes back to his old roommate, blind Al's apartment.

Get some sugar as it's labeled happy sugar right above the cure

for blindness, which is under the floorboards. Great, great

callback. And they have a conversation, and Deadpool is

just he doesn't really know how to go on, so he tries to do

something about that. And we get several gag scenes here that

weren't in the original film. You see a lot of references to

Disney. There's like some characters from up, or at least

like people who try to look like up characters that were in

there. There's like him at a zoo talking with some kids and well,

unfortunately, because of deadpool's Ridiculous healing

factor, anything that he tries to do to himself, he just comes

right back to it. So as he's like, you've seen all these,

like Disney gag scenes taken to a whole new level, he ultimately

decides the best thing to do is to do the same that we saw in

the original film, just to head back to the apartment and just

scorch Earth. The entire place that he's in. The explosion is

enough to send him to the afterlife, it seems. And as he's

floating into this like watery abyss. He comes to a point where

he's standing and he sees off in the distance, in the very

illuminated room, is Vanessa sitting on the chair looking

outside, and he's thinking, this is this is how we're going to

spend the rest of our time together in this afterlife

place.

Yeah, but unfortunately, he cannot cross the barrier to

Vanessa, and Vanessa can only give him the hint that his heart

needs to be in the right place. But that cryptic hint he go,

he's launched back to life, where now Colossus is dragging

him back to the X mansion and here classes, Yukio, Negasonic,

Teenage Warhead, the only 3x Men they can't afford to have

consistently on screen. They all try in their own ways to get

Wade back, but Wade is just not convinced that he is worth the

time and effort we do in the middle of this, while he's

complaining about no X Men, get a fantastic cameo, probably one

of the best cameo of all time, where he complains there's no X

Men, and you turn around and in a room are a bunch of X Men from

the new timeline, closing the door so that Deadpool doesn't

find out about them. This must have been for Dark Phoenix that

they were all assembled for, because I know they had to, like

they had one day to run all these people over from one set

to the other. So I think this is why they were shooting Dark

Phoenix. So Dark Phoenix, it did contribute something positive.

But. Much, that's your one thing. But now, as Wade is

lamenting his he missed a chance for family, we're introducing

another person who really is obsessed with family, and that

is cable. Yeah, I almost thought you meant Dominic Toretto, but

the vibes are similar, because we see that cable enters a room

much like that similar scene where it's just a scorched earth

department. We see that cable enters one as well, and he picks

up a little dusty, burnt up doll. It's a little bear, and as

he picks it up, he attaches it to his gear, he uses his time

travel device and lets out this huge screen, creating now I will

just call the Terminator two effect of this movie, where

basically it's just like he will eventually pop back into the

past. He'll meet some people, and we'll steal some stuff from

them. But before all that happens, of course, Wade is

trying to learn what it's like to to live again. He experiences

much of the domestic life. He starts learning about labeling

foods in the fridge. He even gives Colossus some new soap

that he tells him that if he Well, because this is a PG 13

film, I can say it, if he pumps real hard, he'll get what he

needs to get. I can't believe that joke made it into the PG

13. That's what I'm thinking about, especially when you find

out further later about what was actually in that thing. Yeah,

and I do like, also this cutaway here, there's a Fred Savage who

is like Kate. He gets so excited about cable he breaks down his

origin. I hesitate to say this, but maybe even faster than you

could. You hear me, Fred Savage, I'm pulling you out right now.

We're going to do is a speed run through of origin story. But

that's also a great meta joke that Fred Savage is really

excited about diving into the origins of cable, which they

actually don't do in this movie because it would, I don't even

know how they would be able to do it without confusing the

audience a lot. So yeah, you would need at least 19 years of

X Men films in order to properly and we missed our chance,

people. The window is closed. But in any case, back back with

Deadpool, he is asked to go on a mission with Colossus and

Negasonic, and it is to stop a kid who's calling himself

firefist from just burning everything around him at this

really creepy looking orphanage. And Deadpool arrives, decides to

take the lead, and as he is going up to talk to the kid,

it's here where I realized one advantage of deadpool's costume

is it's extremely easy to overdub lines, because there are

some lines in the original that like, oh yeah, he said this, but

very easy with The suit to just put in, what a PG 13 friendly

version of the line. Real big advantage they had here, also

for the algorithm, real quick, I'm just going to say Fire Fist

a lot, because I figured that this might entice r1 piece fans.

So during the time in which Fire Fist is fighting against the X

Men, of course, he is firefist and solos a lot of these

characters, because they're not expecting for a teenage firefist

to basically knock them around. A lot the people in the

orphanage are trying to trying to calm him down. The orphanage

is actually called the Essex Corporation. It's labeled as a

mutant re Education Center. I'm I know that this is a reference,

and I'm seeing a lot of Mr. Sinister when I was thinking

about this. Unfortunately, I didn't do too much of a deep

dive on this, but I know that this is definitely, it feels

like a connection to that. So as Fire Fist is able to take out

basically Colossus, negatonic Teenage Warhead. And even since

Deadpool flying, where we see another cameo of Hugh Jackman on

a Wheaties box, um Deadpool is able to use his sword as a spear

in order to hit fire fist in the face, and this allows for it

was, it was just a hilt. Oh, this is PG 13 film. So it was

just a hilt. It was the same in the rated R film too, because

that pool don't kill kids. Yeah, it's not this time. So as he is

able to calm down five. Firefist, and he's receiving the

praises of the crowd. Deadpool is loving it. He does know this,

though, that on Russell's neck, there seems to be some bruises,

especially around the collar, the power suppressing collar

that they give him. So this is when Deadpool is just like, You

know what, as an X Men trainee, which is also a running joke

throughout this particular scene, he decides that the best

thing to do is to unalive as many people connected to the

Essex Corporation as possible, because clearly they are

torturing fire fists here at the facility. This leads to Deadpool

being taken out by Colossus and power suppressing collars also

placed on Deadpool, so the two of them are now being

transported to the icebox. Yes, and this is one of the main

points where it's obvious that they have done creative edits

and cuts, probably like pre blood spurt CGI, because when he

does kill people at the facility Deadpool, it is bloodless and

not headshots. So as they're going to prison, we get cable

coming back, coming back to this time period from the future. And

you, and if you did miss this, it's it's completely fine, but

the trucker talking about wiping and toilet paper, that's Matt

Damon. You guys missed that because he's under a lot of

makeup, so he steals the car to head into town. Question about

that? Yeah, is so that's Matt Damon. Was the other guy. Alan

tooth, yes, yes. Okay, yeah. Love these guys because they're

always, they're always so willing to use prosthetics. I

love these guys, yeah, and they, it's such a random conversation

that I think they shorten because it goes on for a long

time the original. So we get back to the prison where, uh,

Russell is really obsessed with trying to kill everyone who

wronged him, and Deadpool really doesn't want any part of it.

He's with the power suppressor. His cancer is coming back

aggressively, so he's just kind of wanting to be left alone it.

And even though Russell really thinks he's good, Deadpool is

like, without this collar on, I'm I have no powers. I'm

basically Hawkeye to the nothing great, one of the great, sorry

man. Um, and this is where they just start having trouble. In

prison, black Tom Cassidy, who is not black, we want to

clarify, attacks them. And after getting beaten to a pulp,

Deadpool says, Hey, while you're here trying to make some new

friends, it's advice that Russell will remember. You know,

in those Telltale Games, Russell will remember that he does. But

right now they don't have time, because cable is here.

Yeah, he enters with a full on force, with the it's, honestly,

it's a great entry. I think it's just seeing it's a great entry

for a character as well, because even though we have seen the

scene where he just got and I picked up the doll and did all

that things, you saw the man, but here we're seeing the the

character, the fictional character, the superpowered

individual, and he's just showing everybody in this as

like he has a mission, and that mission is To kill firefist. So

this is when Deadpool at first is like, I'm well, I don't know

if I should, but he does remember, during a fight scene

that he does have with cable that maybe this is what Vanessa

meant by his heart not being into it and like the idea of

family and everything. So after making some quick jokes about

how cable is too dark, as he's sure that he's not from the DC

Universe, and also, there's an extensive dubstep fight sequence

that uses bangarang by Skrillex. I know this because that song

took over for five years, like 10 years ago. Um, it was a lot.

This song was everywhere, but it is a great fight every YouTube

video now that I'm thinking of it like every YouTube video

ended like that. It was like, did you really make it? If you

did it as bangarang by Skrillex onto yours. Yeah. Years. So as

Deadpool has this extensive fight scene, the collar that he

has also gets broken off. So it does give him a bit of his

healing abilities back. We do see Deadpool get folded in

different ways for the comical sense of things a. Um, literally

and figuratively, yes, and it then eventually leads into, uh,

cable and Deadpool blasting a hole through the wall, and

basically, not quite, but should have causing an avalanche, um,

from where they were and because, thankfully, once again,

Deadpool has this healing factor, but it was at a point

where he was very close to death. He sees Vanessa, and

Vanessa tells him that she he has to save the kid in some way,

shape or form. Yes, so this, um, this inspires Deadpool thinking

about the odds against cable while he's talking to weasel and

Dopinder. They're not only against cable, but they're up a

whole against a whole force of soldiers transporting these

mutants. So decide we need a team. We need some kind of

Suicide Squad. No, they don't say that in the movie, but oh my

god, yeah, this movie the perfect time to use that phrase.

What are we some kind of since that's so he decides to unite DX

force, and this is a great scene of where we have a bunch of

characters coming in and advertising. Also another one of

my top jokes from this movie, where do Pinder tries to get on

the team, and they're like, what's your sewer power? And he

pauses and he says, courage. Just a great, great joke. And

the montage is, is also good Bedlam, being able to distort

your the fields, electric fields, and cause nausea. Who's

acidic guy? Who the acidic? I want to call him spit Viper, but

I know that's not right. It's Bill Skarsgard. That was a

surprising because I was just like, Terry Cruz, I can

definitely see, but Bill Skarsgard, like, what? Yeah,

his, his thing is shooting acidic vomit, and it's just

like, yeah, we've all been to Arby's. I just had to get that

joke out, because I will not be sponsored by Arby's because I

just refuse. I'm sorry. Okay, let me, let me just cancel that

meeting I have with them. I don't want the meats, all right,

I don't want them. Oh my gosh. We also get a shatter star from

Mojo world that that that's a lot. I'm just gonna say that,

because I feel like that's a lot to introduce into this podcast.

Just watch X Men 97 you'll get a sense of mojo world. But my

favorite is definitely banisher. Oh yeah, what other monolog the

screen presence that banisher had amazing just chef's kiss all

the way around. Um, in during this montage, we also get two

quick, yet important scenes that Russell sneaks into a cell

containing the biggest person in the prison and gives them a

pudding, making an alliance. And we also get, uh, cable capturing

weasel. And he gives his great cable, you know, Josh Brolin, so

you know, he can give a great, intimidating speech, and he's

going about all the way he's going to torture weasel, you

know, saying he's going to work through the levels of pain that

you can experience, and we're going to work through it

together. And weasel immediately folds immediately, I will tell

you every I'll tell you everything, but except that

where they are. And he just grunts, and he goes, All right,

let me tell you exactly where they're going to be at what

time. Also, there's a wind advisory. Oh my gosh, it's a

great thing. I think that was one of my favorite scenes of

this film. Just because, like, you always get these, like,

especially in these, like, tough guys superhero kind of stuff,

you always get, like, the torture scene. And it's like,

yeah, man, I didn't break or nothing like that, and this guy

immediately folded. I loved it. It was a nice change of pace.

When, when we when we originally saw it, and even now today, um,

so speaking of that wind advisory, though, we also have

two other characters who are part of the team, who are domino

played by Zazi beats, as I mentioned, great back and forth

between the two of them, because her and Deadpool, because it

really does come into question. Is luck a superpower? We will

find out that it is. And of course, the iconic man himself,

which I gotta commend him, because I was not expecting his

presence. Peter, who basically is just like, You know what I

saw the ad. Here's my headshot. Looks nothing like me, but you

know what? We're gonna You're gonna love having me on this

team. And, yeah, he qualifies you. He does, He beats out

dopender for a role on the team. And this is, of course, one of

the Best Comedic introductions of a team ever, because they

jump out of a plane to get to the convoy, but because of that

wind advisory, they all immediately are blown all over

the place. Most of them die in horrific ways. Vanisher, when he

hits the electric lines, it's revealed that vanisher is

actually Brad Pitt, which Fred Savage is like. How the hell did

you get Brad Pitt and Matt Damon in this movie? And they go on a

very long tangent about fighting Matt Damon, which, oh, they'll

either love or hate. I, I love to see I will say it didn't run

a bit too long, but oh my gosh, it is perfect. I definitely

whoever's listening out there, please get me one of those, like

sensor beat things. I think they're like five bucks. If

you're willing to spend five bucks on my enjoyment, I would

very much appreciate it. It's one of those that goes on for so

long it becomes funny again, or you again, or you just hated it

the whole time. So pretty much everyone dies horrifically. In

wood chippers, in helicopter blades crashing into busses,

except for Domino and Deadpool, who are the only ones to survive

this vicious attack. Oh, Peter also dies getting acid breath

Arby's on him in the middle of it. But now Domino and Deadpool

are off to stop the convoy in the middle of and cable arrives

to attack. And another fun fact is that during when cable is

throwing out prisoners out of the convoy to try to stop

Deadpool from getting on, one of the prisoners he throws out is

the director of the movie, David Leach. Is the first prisoner to

be thrown onto the street. So again, this movie is still full

of like fun Easter eggs in the casting that you'll blink and

you'll miss them. Another person who gets thrown out,

unfortunately, is black, Tom Cassidy, which now creates the

fact, according to Deadpool, that cable is racist. It's an A

plus joke for no reason. So as they're driving around, domino

tries to help. There's also a great scene in which I think, I

don't know if this was the intention, but it did seem very

similar, in which cable does shoot repeatedly at Deadpool,

and Deadpool uses a similar sword swing as he did to India.

What was it? X Men, origins of Wolverine movie, when everybody

was shooting at him. So there's that one point in which he tries

to show that he can slice the bullet. Unfortunately, it does

not work, and they and Kate and Deadpool just basically gets

shot completely up.

And then Domino is able to do something to the truck to make

sure that it doesn't hit too many either parked cars or cars

with passengers, because luck is a superpower that definitely

works. And I'm not saying that sarcastically. I love the fact

that that was a superpower that actually worked. Fortunately,

they were able to crash or turn the truck over. They once

they're all flown out from it. We do see that the last person

who was in that truck who hadn't gotten thrown out was the new

friend that Russell had made. The biggest man in the X Men,

scope of things, not the biggest man in the universe, because we

got Galactus, but whatnot. But my digress, the biggest X Men

villain I think we've ever seen the Juggernaut yes, no, no.

Vinnie Jones, Apocalypse, I'm the Juggernaut bitch here. No,

no, no. Small people here. It's I'm the Vinny Jones is small,

but not juggernaut size. Our most jacked character arrives

and immediately rips Deadpool in half. Literally, the they this

is one of the smartest PG 13 cuts they do, because in the

original you see entrails and blood and everything. But here

they cut right to Fred, savage as the RIP is happening, so it's

less distracting that you don't see it. So Russ as Russ goes for

revenge, Deadpool and his friends reconvene at blind owls.

That's the movie's name, not mine. So just want to clarify

everyone. And as it's revealed that Deadpool is growing baby

legs through. Replaced the legs he had lost. And this is where

Fred Savage brings up a really good question that was not

addressed in the original film, yeah, so if you rip Deadpool in

half, given his regenerative ability, does that mean that

there are now two deadpools. Like, if the top half is the one

we're continuing the story with, does the bottom half continue to

grow and regenerate as well, meaning that there's a Deadpool

out there with their own adventures. Also, it like, to

what extent are we talking about this? Because it's like, how

many deadpools can we? Can we get in one film if he just

continues getting ripped in half? It's a question that even

Deadpool doesn't even have the answer to. Yeah, it's just just

an example of the shoddy, lazy writing, but it's really great

gag, and it quickly is followed by another gag that they

shortened for the PG 13 movie for a lot of reasons, where

Deadpool uncrosses his leg like basic instinct. If you haven't

seen that, I understand it's a very old movie for most of us.

Somehow, actually, I saw that, but not the Princess Bride.

That's a weird programming schedule. Blame. I blame channel

11 and picks. I don't know. This is when cable shows up. Another

great gag of cable showing up. And as Deadpool is talking about

cable, he goes to dopender. He's right behind you, isn't he, and

they turn and see, you know, a good take on the joke, and cable

reveals that in the future, Russ, after killing the people

who abused him, goes on to become a homicidal maniac and

ends up killing cable's wife and daughter as revenge for cable

trying to Take out Russell. So you know, this is a great

parallel between cable and Deadpool. Both of them were

killing people, or at least using force to take out people,

and then their enemies eventually caught up with them

and destroyed their families. So this immediately creates,

despite everything that's happened between the two,

Deadpool can at least understand where cable is coming from right

now, so he agrees to help on a condition. Yeah, I just want to

say too, the main other reason why I love this scene is that

it's scored to the sun will come out tomorrow. I just thought

that was just a clever take, and it's done in this like child

like Wonder I have, I have a thing where I don't like where

in the movie there's like the children are singing these like

songs and these very like dark events, creeps me the heck out.

And like that, to me, added so much more of a scare factor in

this film, that this entire time, when watching Russell in

this whole experience that he was in with Deadpool, I was

like, Oh, well, you know, maybe he's not going to be that bad as

whatever. He's just this kid trying to learn how to navigate

the world after everybody had thrown the worst at him. And

then you see what that turns out to be. And I think this was made

specifically for people like me who, like they hear, like the

children singing the songs and the creepy scenarios, and just

like we're gonna intensify the fear and the danger that's

coming with this scene. So I think that tying having that

particular scene. And as you mentioned, tying the fact that

it's just like how similar cable and Deadpool stories are, it was

to me, a masterclass in like, showing how much of a force that

Russell is. Because not only is he just like connecting these

two individuals now, but he's also creating a true villain for

this movie when we never even saw him as a villain. Yeah, it's

really, it's a really brilliant of, like a nature versus nurture

thing. And, you know, even though the first movie was all

about whether Deadpool could be a hero or not, and ultimately,

the decision was he is a killer. He's not exactly a hero, but

he's not a villain either. He's not something, someone they have

to worry about as much. So it's a great it's a great evolution

for his character to in this movie. Have to deal with someone

who also is right on the precipice of going bad or good.

So it's really good that he is here to mentor that kind of

person. It's a really great evolution of the character, and

shows how really, even though it does seem like a silly parody

movie on the surface, they really did think about what's

the next step for his character, and that's to meet other

killers. Dollars and see if he can guide them on the right

path, which is kind of, you know, the running theme of

deadpool's movies, to make people be the best versions of

themselves by, you know, letting their reservations down a little

bit. So even though he is has that power when he tries to

appeal to Colossus to help. Colossus doesn't want to jump

in. He's tired of Wade's nonsense. And even though cable

has even agreed to give Deadpool 30 seconds to try to save

Russell, he's not for it. So they decide to go by themselves.

Now it's Deadpool, Dopinder, Domino and cable. And here's a

little preview of Deadpool and Wolverine, because Deadpool and

cable have some great banter, and just watch it. It's just the

whole conversation is great, alluding to cable's racism, his

comic book height. It's just like, listen, cable your cap.

Okay, we know this. I also love the fact that Domino was backing

up cable like, speaking as a black person in the room think

he's racist. It's, it's such a great I think I'm, I would love

to see them on screen more, just because I feel like the dynamic

that they have. It's, you know, a lot of it is definitely

influenced by Ryan Reynolds just basically saying, Whatever comes

to mind, at least, I'm assuming what comes to mind, but I do

love the fact that you have people that can hear that, and

it's just like we I will give you either a very serious

answer, or I'm going to try and one up you and just like the

going back and forth, I think is what drew me into thinking like

this. These characters are they're great. They're great

together. They're not even just characters, but the actors are

great together in the scene, even just like including

Dopinder in the mix was just a lot of fun as they now reach

back to the Essex location, and now they're realizing that

Russell as firefist fully realized. Firefist has decided

to team up with Juggernaut, and their goal is to basically take

out every single person in this building. This is going to be

Russell's villain origin story. His goal is to kill the

headmaster of the entire place, and he knows that right now, the

fight is, how can we stop as mentioned, how can we stop that

one person from their first kill? Because once they once

that happens, it's all over, and they all gear up, they

immediately start running out the car. There's some awesome

sound in music that's playing in the background. You're running

in slow mo. It's slow mo that takes an a reasonable amount of

time not talking one of those, like we're going to turn the two

hour film into three hours just because it's a Director's Cut.

Sorry, I might have a little bit of anger towards a particular re

release film. He's talking about rebel moon. Rebel. Moon

everywhere. He was already a director's cup. We don't need

another one. Um, also, guys appreciate that Dopinder joins

in on the mix he is running through. Unfortunately, though,

because Juggernaut is there to stop them, this is what leads

into we need more help. So they call it the second most Jack

character in this movie to make an appearance, and he's ready to

rumble. Yes, Colossus versus Juggernaut, honestly, probably

one of the best CGI versus CGI battles as Deadpool would say

himself in superhero movies, in in, I would say the decade. I

think it's, it's really, a really good match of powers and

this brawl, it's just a straight up brawl between two, two big

jacked dudes. And ironically, I love this little irony of the

movie that Deadpool and cable to try to get Russell to stop from

killing. Kill a lot of people, a lot of bad guys, to get to

Russell eventually, through a little the magic of electricity.

And if you've seen the first episode of the boys, that's how

they defeat juggernaut. Here, with electricity and some water

and Deadpool, gets to Russ Russell and is trying to talk

Russell down, but Russell is just not coming down. So as an

extreme measure, Deadpool puts on a mutant suppressing collar.

So now Russell knows he's completely vulnerable, but when

it still seems like it's going to go, South Gable goes to shoot

Russell, but Deadpool takes the bull. It, yeah, and here we get

a chance to see the one scene, the one death scene that lasts

longer than Yodas Dez pool is just telling everyone his final

wishes and all that. Even tells cable that he hopes that one day

that He will judge people by the content their skin and not the

color of their sorry, not the color of their skin. Says hi to

Yukio one last time, and as he finally passes, we see that

Deadpool has finally made it into the afterlife. He is next

to Vanessa now they have their embrace, but then back into the

land of the living cable, who using his time device he he does

know that this is the last time he can use this. So he turns on

the time device to trans take himself back to the beginning of

when they were in the car, and this is when Vanessa tells

Deadpool is still not your time. You got to go back and be there

for your family. And it's this new family that he's built here.

Now, not just not the X Force, it's, it's literally this family

that he has with cable, domino Colossus and brussel even so,

with Deadpool now coming back to life, because cable, in the

past, apparently takes the ski ball token that given Deadpool

gave it to Vanessa for their anniversary, for their one year

anniversary, Deadpool held on to it after Vanessa's death. Cable

stole it during their fight in the icebox, and cable placed it

back into the exact spot where he knew he was going to shoot

Deadpool in the future. So he made sure to place it there, and

because it was straight led, thankfully, was on Deadpool,

because I'm pretty sure that could have caused many harm to

any other person. The bullet is stopped, and now Deadpool is

alive. Knowing that cable went back in time to make this

change, he's hoping, even for cable, that his family is going

to be okay, and we get that confirmation when the little

bear that he had connected to his body, which was his

daughter's, is now, instead of it being the burnt bear that is

missing some things, is now a fully clean bear, like as was

dipped in a bathtub full of Dawn soap. Yes. So the future is now

changed, and he'll cable says, You know what? I'm going to

stick around to make sure that it stays that way. Group now

walks away as a fully formed family in an hilarious Easter

little note, Dopinder accidentally kills the villain

of the movie instead of instead of Fire Fist, so thus no one

gets away scot free. Here we cut straight back to Fred Savage,

and this is where Deadpool says, hey, they're going to be a

couple post credit scenes. And Fred Savage and Deadpool kind of

geek out over the post credit scenes. Famously, in this post

credit scene, the Time Machine is fixed by Yukio and Negasonic,

so Deadpool is able to go back in time save Vanessa. He's able

to save Peter. Good thing, because Peter is a huge

character later on, and to really for us, he kills the

origins version of Deadpool and kills the Ryan, Ryan Reynolds,

who would have signed on to Green Lantern, yes, and that's

it. That's what how our film wraps up in a very touching note

for the fans. Um, with that now, we have to determine if

Deadpool, once upon, the Deadpool has earned its cape, or

is this movie a Chris Evans, AKA a cap? Yes. I will also mention,

uh, the true ending is that uh, Fred Savage is cut from his bed,

and since he's his legs, he's been asleep for three days. He

collapses almost instantly, and that's the last scene of the

movie. Also, he had no pants. He's naked from the waist down,

like Winnie the Pooh. Yes, but is it cape or cap? I am going to

say cape. Actually, I think I do. Think I'll get it, I'll

address the the Fred Savage in the room. Does the framing

device work? Yes, and no, uh, there are times when it really

does enhance the movie. And it's kind of, it is fun to hear Fred

Savage's come. Comments. And there are times like where we

mentioned before with Vanessa, where it does get a little

distracting for them to stop the movie, to cut in. I think if I

was going to do an RT alteration on the framing device, I would

have it be more of a director's commentary, where they would be

able to chime in at any time and talk over some of the events of

the movie after they established this frame exists, rather than

cut away to Fred Savage, I get why they did it and the

temptation, and they still could find the best of both worlds,

but I think it might have worked a little bit better as a

director's commentary setup. But honestly, the thing that makes

me like this version of it is it's more focused. I think in

the original Deadpool two, we have the themes of family and

togetherness and everything, and it's really it's there, but

there are a lot of R rated jokes and gags that go on for a bit

and kind of distract it here. I feel like it's more streamlined

that the line to Deadpool wanting a family to losing that

family and gaining it again. I feel like because they had to

cut out a lot of really raunchy gags and blood we get to that

line so much faster. And sure we do lose some jokes that that is

definitely no argument there. But honestly, the best jokes

that I remember from Deadpool two are still here, and I don't

miss the blood and gore as much. Of course, that is a main appeal

of these movies. And I'm not saying, you know, Deadpool two

is worse or but I'm, I do think this is a streamlined story that

moves a little bit quicker. And my, my third thing I want to say

is that I think that if you're if somebody has not watched any

of the Deadpool and one who watched Deadpool and Wolverine,

they should watch this version of Deadpool two, because they it

skips all the jokes about Logan, mainly in this version. And I

think it kind of if you're watching them in succession, and

you kind of don't want to blow the Logan jokes early. This is a

good place to watch it, because they they only mentioned Logan a

couple of times, and you're going to get a lot of Logan in

three. So overall, I hesitate to say it's a better version of

Deadpool two, but I would say it is a streamlined and more

focused version, with some notable, notable parts where it

gets a little distracted by itself. But I think it's a solid

version of this movie. I know that's not a popular opinion,

but I I kind of like this version about you. Yeah,

that's that's interesting, the way to put it, because I did

feel very similar. I was just like, I felt like the pacing was

very different compared to when I first watched it. And I

thought maybe it was like, oh, because of the intersection of

like, Fred Savage coming in and just saying, like, let's

reiterate what we just saw, just so that there's a clear

understanding of it. But I agree. I think it's a much more

of a streamlined movie. I would say that this is still because,

just because, like, I've always felt like Deadpool two, um, was

a pretty strong film when it came to, like, given this his

particular story, I would say that it is also okay for me. Um,

the only reason why I will give it a cap rating is because it's

not a Christmas film in any way, shape or form. This is the thing

that upset me the most, because, like, I was just like, you have

an opportunity, given the fact that this film was released on

Christmas. If you're seeing all the ads, it is very Christmassy.

And even some of the imagery in these in the commercials, and

the ads and the trailers for it were Christmas themed. So to

watch this movie, and there's not like anything related at all

to the holiday season, is a little weird, and it feels like

it was more focused on, like, we know that this is coming out

around Christmas. Let's just play into that. And, like, just

trick the parent to have kids that wanted to see death pool,

but I first were told no, so I would have expected if it was a

little different, like, maybe incorporate even some lights or,

you know, just treat it more, because it's not the first time

in which, like in a Christmas movie, where an elderly person

is reading a story to the younger child. I think one of my

favorite ones I'm thinking about right now is jingle jangle,

whereas you just have Felicia Rashad who is reading the story,

and it's like you it's basically the same. Same thing, just

replace the scenario, give it a bit more of a holiday feel. If

you were going to market this as a Christmas movie, because

there's, there's not even a mention of what time of year

this takes place in so this is, yeah, it's a cape for

storytelling. It's a cape for the additions some gag scenes

did seem a little extra, but I did appreciate the fact that it

came right at the height of when Disney had bought Marvel. So

there were a lot of bit more like Disney references than it,

because it was like, we can now say these things because, or,

sorry, not Marvel, but Fox, or, I mean, Disney owns everything,

so it was right at the moment where they could easily say a

lot of the things I feel popped up more so in this version than

it did in Deadpool two. Yeah. But I would just say the My main

issue with it, it's not a Christmas movie in any way,

shape or form. It did not make sense to market it as such. It's

not a Christmas movie at all. It did not make any sense to me to

market it as that way. I would have just enjoyed this movie as

just like, let's just give it a kid version story of the

Deadpool two movie. I think that as parents who probably have

kids that know and they know that their kid is too young to

watch this kind of content, I think they would appreciate it.

I haven't seen The Princess Bride, but I did appreciate the

interjections from Fred Savage. And I do agree, I think that it

would have been better if it was more like a director's

commentary, where it's just like, you have the opening scene

of Fred Savage and then you just have scenes of him and Deadpool

talking over certain things, like even treat it was just

like, let's add in like a pause feature. Like, we see cable pop

up and you just see, like, the VCR kind of stopped. It's just

like, and it's like, Wait a minute. You guys got cable in

this thing and just have it play around with that. I think the

going back and forth in between the different stories does take

a little bit out of it, and that's from hearing from how you

describe the Princess Bride. I could see why they tried to do

that. But I feel like, don't mark it as a Christmas movie and

give us less back and forth between Fred Savage and the

original film. Like, just give, give the movie to us, just

straight as is. But overall, a cape for me. Um, I would

definitely be showing like, definitely not like my 10 year

old. I don't have a 10 year old, but I was like, I would not show

my 10 year old this movie, but I would feel more comfortable if,

like, my 13 year old, who hasn't experienced R rated films with

like blood and gore, had never seen something like this, I

would be okay with them watching this nice, well said, well said.

And I think I can explain some of it in a section. I working

title for the section, but when I go behind the scenes, I'm

going to call it loose threads, tentatively, loose threads

because, you know, Cape theme threads, sewing so loose

threads. About this movie. I like that, because caps could

also have loose threads. Yeah. All right, there you go. All

right. Thank you for justifying this so you, you did make a

great point. Why is this marketed as a Christmas film

when there's nothing Christmas in it. Well, this movie was not

supposed to exist. Quite simply, the re the main reason, again,

this is speculation. Fox has not confirmed any of what I'm about

to say, but I'm going to put the facts out and let you guys

figure it out for yourself. It sounds like a conspiracy, but

no, it's just the fact. So, originally, in December, Fox was

supposed to release Alita Battle Angel. However, it was not ready

to be released in cinemas, leaving Fox with a big Christmas

slot and nothing to do. Deadpool two had done fairly well that

year, so what they decided was, why not release a cut of

Deadpool two in that slot that we have, but we can't just

rerelease it. Nobody would see it. They decided to recut it

down to a PG 13, in the hopes that regions that never got to

see Deadpool two because of the mature content, might be able to

see it, such as China, who had not approved the first version

of the film. So the hope was to expand the film into different

territories and also pull people back into the theaters who had

already seen it, in hopes they would give them money again to

see it in theaters. Ryan Reynolds said he was not a he

wasn't initially into the idea, but he agreed to it on the basis

that Fox would donate $1 from every ticket sold to the fudge

Cancer Foundation. So he did. This was a charitable movie,

and, you know, in spirit Christmas. But because this

happened very rapidly, Fred Savage's scenes were only all

filmed in one. Day one sitting, they had to get Fred Savage in

so that's a big reason why, I think they didn't try too hard

to push a Christmas theme. I think also back to the

territories thing. I think they also wanted to avoid attaching

it to a Christian holiday, in case the expansion to

territories worked, they didn't want to, you know, root it in a

very specific Christian tradition. So that is, those are

the between the speed at which they had the one day with Fred

Savage and the fact that they were trying to expand it. Those

are probably all the reasons why this is not actually the

Christmas movie that they marketed. Why Fox chose to

market it as a Christmas movie when Alita Battle Angel also

wasn't well, maybe that's why Fox has been bought up at

Disney. Yeah. So you can fill in the blanks there, but that is

pretty much behind the scenes of how this movie came to be. X

Force was originally intended to return for Deadpool three.

Again, that didn't happen because Fox bought out. But

given the fact that Deadpool and Wolverine is the highest

grossing R rated movie. I would not be surprised if Deadpool

four pulled back domino cable Wolverine and and Deadpool all

together for an X Force and last but not least, something I

learned, um, just now, you'll never be able to watch movies

the same way again, because every movie that you watch, they

are the Writers Guild, and all the guilds and all the unions

are required to give credit to all the actors and writers twice

now that you they used to do it right at the beginning of the

film. Everybody used to do this. But for the films that don't do

it, they have to do it twice. So that is why, when a movie ends

and they have a creative title sequence of drawings and cutesy

drawings, Deadpool shooting while you see people's names,

that is to fulfill the legal requirement to show the credits

twice. That's why you have a glossy end titles and then you

see black and white credits every time. Oh, I was wondered

about that. I was just like, all right. I mean, I always

appreciated the details that a lot of people who are making

these movies are putting together to show us. And they're

like, very well done, animated, animated. Sometimes sequences of

the end credit scenes always just wonders. It's like, well, I

know that Ryan Reynolds played Deadpool and Wade Wilson. I

don't need to. I don't need the 15th reminder. But no, that does

make sense. Thank you for making sure that these people gain

their

credit. Yeah, and now you'll never watch the movie the same

again, like end game. You're like, oh, whoa. That's a really

cool tribute to all the Avengers over the years, no, that's a

legal requirement. This time we thought it was nice. It was

like, No, we're just trying to make sure we don't get sued just

here, so we don't get fined, yes, because that money should

be going to flush cancer. That is not a sponsorship or anything

that we have, but we will definitely be put in the link to

that into our show notes, because F that thing, yes, all

right. And speaking of all these, like animated sequences

and all that, we'd have to talk about the comic books that

inspired this whole film. This this movie, these characters

coming together. Don't worry, it'll be quick, because I know

that I was already beat by Fred Savage in terms of the origin

story of cable. So I won't tell you all about that. Instead,

though, I will tell you all about the first time that

Deadpool and cable did me, and how did that go? So, uh,

Deadpool was actually created just to fight cable. Deadpool

was first introduced in the New Mutants number 98 back in 1990

um, he's created by Rob lifefield and Fabian McKenzie

macheze. I believe. I'm sorry I'm butchering that last name,

but these two came together when they were writing and putting

together the New Mutants. Lifefield has started working on

it with issue number about 86 or so, and when he was thinking

about ways to like, really wrap it up, some of the things that

he did think about was that he wanted to create a duo that

could compete against Marvel's biggest characters in that

moment to see if there's a way that he can bring their

personalities and styles together, and those characters.

Wolverine and spider man. And fortunately for him, he had

already created cable. He already created this straight

laced, very serious guy, no no fun in his life had like a chip

on his shoulder or, I guess, robotic arm, given the fact of

who cable is. And while cable was created, I will also preface

that Nathan Summers, who is the the real name, the alter ego

that he has, was created a couple years before. So we got a

chance to see cable come to a full adult self through Rob

lifefields His eyes and artwork. And this is when he realized

that he had the straight lace guy. He was like, I need to find

my spider man. I need to I need to create a character who just

can't stop talking, who cracks a joke at every single thing. And

he started designing a character that he then presented the

artwork over to Fabian. And Fabian looked at it and was just

like, man, you drew Deathstroke from the Teen Titans, and that's

what inspired the alter ego name of death pool Wade Wilson,

because it was like, Well, I mean, if we're gonna go full

thing, might as well call him something similar to Slade

Wilson, and this character will then be introduced in the New

Mutants number 98 where his first meetup with cable was he

was hired by Toler, by a character named Toliver, who was

a New Mutants villain, um, who's Also apparently the time travel

future son of cable. I people. Who was who hired Deadpool to go

and assassinate cable was while cable was learning what it was

like to be a team leader for these new mutants, and there was

fighting. There was a couple times in which cable basically

broke deadpool's Draw and the thing, but he just kept going

and going and going and going. Fortunately, they were finally

able to take down Deadpool, when domino showed up, knocked them

in the back of the head and was able to send him on his way. And

that's how the story ends. That was their first interaction.

Thanks, Domino. You're so lucky. Yeah. So was that Deadpool

wasn't the character that we knew him to be kind of like

today. This like huge regenerative, regenerative

factor, the character who just couldn't stop talking, or really

more So breaking the fourth wall. The fourth wall break was

introduced much later for him in the comics. But again, this is

really just about 34 years of Deadpool. Deadpool is almost as

whole as us. It is wild to see that character who I feel like I

have seen my entire life and now came to life in the live action

presence being done by a man who basically is the our world's

version of Deadpool, minus the assassin work just bringing him

here to life. So when that happened, everybody loved the

fact of just like, Yeah, you did it. You got your Wolverine, you

got your SpiderMan. Let's see more. And this is what led to

Deadpool not only teaming up with cable for many, many comics

later on in the future, having all these crazy stories with

them, but also it's just like, let's introduce him to a bunch

of our other characters, given the fact he's already has this

connection to cable, meaning that he's immune, and let's

introduce him with the X Men. So that's how we got team us

between Deadpool and Wolverine, where, even right now, they're

creating a cover art, a variant cover art where Deadpool and

Wolverine are fighting, and I think biggie is supposed to stop

them from fighting. Okay, yeah, so this just connecting to the

absurdity at times of Deadpool. We also had Deadpool teaming up

with Spider Man. So Rob's dreams are coming true, where he's

like, he's teaming up with these like Marvel big heads in the

world. And just a couple years ago, Deadpool teamed up with

Black Panther. Deadpool was in Wakanda. I am cautiously curious

about that. Waiting to go. Don't worry. I think it was okay,

because this time around, it wasn't like he was coming after

cable thought his actions towards black Tom Cassidy. But

it does, it does give us a great lens into the marketability,

really, of Deadpool, because he really started out as just

really your basic army dude, like this basic guy who would

just go through and just take care of business with a bunch of

weapons, and now he's turned into this character that can

easily just enter space with all these other big characters in

the in the Marvel Universe, even making comments at times about

the. Other worlds, like the DC Universe. And, you know, may

have me think, like, outside of these particular team ups, what

character do you think Deadpool should be teamed up with next?

Like, if you were writing this book, who would you include? I

would see Deadpool. I think it's pretty obvious, but I just want

to see Deadpool and Loki. I just want to, I want to see how

chaotic this, this could get. Like, I just don't even know the

possibilities of those two together. I just don't even know

if, like, they're just out trying to out prank each other.

It's kind of like a prank wars kind of thing, and Loki can't

kill him, you know. So I think there's a lot of comedic

potential between the two of them. I like that. My My thing

was I wanted to do a Deadpool and Joker, just because I feel

like Deadpool is the character I feel that might be able to cause

Joker to just break like Joker has broken in the past because

he was like, he he didn't want to team up with Red Skull,

because he was like, I will condone everything in the world,

all kind of matters of violence, but I will not condone Nazis.

And that is what he said. And I would appreciate to see like,

how could a character like Deadpool like, what is the

what's not the moral stance that Joker has, but what is the like?

What could be the thing that could break Joker in a comedic

sense? And I feel like Deadpool could be the person to do that.

And, um, DC. I think I remember a couple years that DC does have

a version of Deadpool that's not, that's not that stroke that

Harley Quinn did team up with. But it wasn't as like overt with

the fourth wall breaking, but it was very much so, like these

characters have a very similar skill set, so that character,

unfortunately, didn't do as well, if I'm not mistaken, just

because everybody just thought it was just DCS Deadpool, sorry,

Deathstroke, we know that you are DCS, death pool, Deadpool,

yes, and Deadpool also, of course, appears in Teen Titans

Go to the movies when Robin and the rest of The Teen Titans call

out Deadpool, so he's everywhere. And the last thing

I'm just going to bring up real quickly is deadpool's family. So

this particular movie was not only just a movie about Deadpool

trying to figure out what this family looked like for him, but

of course, it was also marketed as a Christmas family film.

Deadpool does have a family. Um, it differs in comics with a lot

of times, but the most current one, the one that seems to have

taken the strongest hold within the timeline of things, is the

family that he created from a a one night stand that you have

with a woman named Carmelita. This led to his most famous

daughter, Ellie Camacho, during that thing, during their their

moment. Deadpool did not know that he was a father, so when

Carmelita brought the child to him to show that, like, Hey,

this is your kid in a very I will say it was a weird moment,

but it was a touching one, because she originally came up

to asking about child support payments, but he said that he

couldn't believe that this child was his, because this child was

too beautiful. And I just love that, because it was just like

it shows at that pool, even though he's like this jokester

kind of guy who probably, at times, seems he has no care for

human life and whatnot. He does. He does. He really, truly does.

Unfortunately, though, because she got introduced to deadpool's

life, it led to Carmelita and Ellie getting kidnapped. So

Deadpool went on this whole mission to make sure to save

them. It led to the death of Carmelita. So Deadpool had to

find a way to take care of his new kid. And well, of course,

being the fact that he's a mutant, and the the the

chromosome that apparently the X gene travels across, is supposed

to be the the Y chromosome. Ellie developed powers, and her

powers are very similar to her father's, except in order for

them to activate, she has to completely die. She does not

have a regenerative factor. She instead completely dies and then

respawns, if anything. Oh, well, I don't know. I hope she stays

out of here with him. I think she should just not do it. I

think that's just one of those like, oh. And can she? Is she

immortal? That's also going to be a great question to answer

later on. Well, with that, that wraps up our comic book section.

So, um, yeah, Deadpool guys, family, and it does not involve

cable. At times, cable, he and take cable, tend to team up. I

think we're going to see more Deadpool and cable. Team ups,

because while all the comments are being written right now,

really to kind of focus in on the Deadpool Wolverine team up

for the sake of the movie, the most iconic team up is Deadpool

cable, especially because they have this rich history and

backstory of how they were created, almost to influence one

another. So I think that we're going to especially now that

mutants are back into the comic world in the sense of like they

are connected to the to the larger universe. I expect in the

next couple years we're going to see that resurgence of Deadpool

and cable storytelling. So that wraps up our episode. Here join

us on our next stop for Ryan and Hugh road trip as we enter

Japan. Fortunately, it's not going to be another Batman Japan

movie, or Yakuza versus Batman versus the Yakuza League. No,

we're not doing that. Instead, we are going to see what happens

to Hugh Jackman as the Wolverine when he enters Japan in 2013 in

this movie called The Wolverine, we're adding the definitive

article here to this particular movie. Yes, we're not covering

bat manager too. Just want to throw that out before anyone

gets ideas. We're not doing it unless you give us money. Then

we'll do it. Speaking of money, sure, this is for this through

never actually take advice from a kid who's in jail. Yes, I've

never been, Oh, my bad. No, it's like for various reasons. You

shouldn't. I mean, look, if this movie has taught me anything,

I've never been but as an objective absorber in the game,

you might end up getting ripped apart by the most Jack character

in the jail. And if Fox comes to you and says, Can we make a PG

13 version of your popular R rated movie, make sure they
