@giftober 2023 | Day #12: "Cozy". Deadpool Post-Credits Scene

[dumbassalex]

The more Deadpool comics i read, the less i feel like Ryan Reynolds fits him and that makes me feel....odd, like kinda left out from all the love this casting is getting. He was really good as Wade Wilson in X-men Origins, his Weapon 11 is terrible and an insult to the character of Deadpool tho.

But when he got his own movie he was just Ryan Reynolds, and i know, i know "ofc he is, he's played by Ryan" sure but....that just feels off for me, and i wanted to know why, and i think i got it.

Firstly it's the way he talks, Ryan has this tone of voice that doesn't fit the way Wade usualy talks in the comics, his kinda high smooth sarcastic tone feels off to me. Partly because Wade doesn't sound like that at all, Wade has a very rough voice, sounding like Demi Moore, his voice sounds like wet gravel, according to Cable and Blind Al. Ellie, his daughter, said his voice sounds weird, whitch Wade said it's because of the scar tissue.

Also the way he talks, his jokes and the tone of his voice doesn't fit the DP energy. Fabian Nicieza, Deadpools co-creator and writer of most of his 90s appereances before Kelly wrote the first run, said he imaged Wade to sound like Denis Leary, whitch for the ones not aware, is a very unhinged and agressive sounding man, and it fits perfectly the way he talks.

Also Fox!Wade's humor isn't really the same as comics!Wade, movie Wade uses references, complicated swears and names with alot of sarcasm. Comics Wade meanwhile?

Not so much, he also doesn't even break the 4th wall as often usualy, some of those aren't even too obvious 4th wall breaks.

One thing i feel like the movies got right is Wades softness, he's a very emotional man, especialy when it comes to relationships and other people.

One thing the moves didn't quite get right is Wade and his violence problems, in his first comics he was fighting with his violence, his past, he was trying to be better after years of being a villian, and that change is often brought by his nee crush or love interest or idol, because he wants to be better for them, even if he usualy doesn't feel worthy of their love, yet he tries and tries.

There was a deleted scene in one of the movies where he and Vanessa were in Mexico and Wade lost it and killed the scamming doctor and it perfectly showed Wades issues.

His relationships were also all made simpler, Weasel is his fuctional friend, Ness is his girlfriend, Al is his funny roommate and friend. Back then Wade and his relationships weren't simple, he was like Moon Knight, he experimented, he wasn't very known, he was allowed to be odd and weird and out there. And i blame the game tbh, because now the movie was heavily influenced by what the internet thinks Deadpool is and the character is suffering for it now. Maybe i am just a jaded edgy 18yo but that's how i feel.

Now you're propably thinking what would my solution be, well i got a solution in mind, but you most likely won't wanna hear it...but i will still tell you in the next post.

Imagine: going back into the past to see your dad. "Deadpool" just to say hi. And wade is so proud of his mutant child.

....i feel like the Deadpool movies should've had more of a grungy, dirty, sometimes uncomfortable vibe to them.

Because as much as the people working on it say otherwise and as much as Wade acts otherwise, it is a basic superhero movie exept the main character kills (like 90% of the MCU heroes did by that point), swears and has sex. Even if Wade says he is a bad guy, the whole time he acts like a pretty good person.

I feel like if they wanted to make Deadpool different they should've made him unhinged and upredictable, so we and the other characters didn't know what to expect from him.

One thing that personaly bothers me about the movies is also the overuse of 4th wall breaks and swearing, because the comics can go whole arcs without a single 4th wall break and when we get them they're like "check out issue 7 for a reminder" or "alright people, play *song name* for this montage" and aren't all "we are in a comics (or movie), ain't that clever and cool? So ground-breaking".

One more thing...i feel like Karan Soni (Dopinders actor) should've been Bob, like image Wade kills a whole group of guys and keeps this guy, working as Francis' henchman, alive to ask him questions while Weasel is close by, and Wade just takes him with them and calls him Bob (rather than asking for his real name) and Bob is kinda pulled around, used as a tool, and would be there instead of Colossus and NTW, it could've been a Wade, Weasel and Bob movie with Blind Al helping on this genuenly brutal and angry revenge plot againts Ajax.

...i realise this is a long fucking post so i am asking... would you like to hear my idea for a Deadpool movie?

I am propably reaching but mutants being left to wear their costumes in the X-men movies could imo be linked to how queerness was seen and treated through the years.

In the first couple movies you got these dark leather "biker gear" looking outfits, basicly saying "sure you can exist, but keep it lowkey, don't express yourself too freely and openly".

Then comes first class and the team gets more color but it's the same outfit for all of them exept for small changes to fit the wearers needs. Kinda a "you can exist, be open but don't make it too complicated to not overwhelm us."

By Apocalypse we see them get more comic accurate suits, with personal touches and unique designs, they're able to be freely themselves and express who they are.

In Dark Phoenix we see a step backwards into the utilitarian muted looks, like queer people had to step back over rising controversies and pushbacks.

Now with Wolverine in 2023 i'd call this the "fuck you, we are here and we WILL show ourselves and be true to ourselves even if it makes you angry and uncomfortable" with accurate suits, bright colors (some might even say too bright) and a fair amount of camp. Whitch works perfectly i think for the current times where queer people are starting to loose rights and the amount of hate (especialy for a specifc part of the comunity) being on the rise.

Again i am propably and most likely reaching, but it makes sense in my head.
