It really wasn't that good, just packed to the gills with fan-service.

Ok, it had Hugh Jackman, and he was the most Wolverine he's ever been, but that was about the only awesome part, otherwise DP2 was probably better, at least you cared.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're not wrong, but that was honestly some of the best pandering I've ever seen.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, grade A fan-service #1.

But that was basically all it was.

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I absolutely dislike fan service. But somehow at least it kinda worked. In star wars it feels like they just forcing down fan service, while in deadpool, they show fan service the fans actually care about. Like chanum tatum's gambit and blade. Knowing how shitty Wesley snipes was to RR, makes this even funnier that he was nice enough (i assume, i don't really know.) to let him be blade in his monster hit movie. Seeing captain america was fun too, although seeing his face i knew he was too expensive to stay.

No, the fan service was fine, and Jackman was absolutely incredible, he was on par with Logan.

But that's all, there was basically nothing else, dp himself was basically just a mindless idiot.

He's at least a little better than that in the comics, he was completely stupid in this run.

I don't agree with you, but we were both probably seeing the movie with different expectations.

I went 100% for the fanboy in me. I wanted the fan-service and nostalgia, and this movie delivered. The BTS shots from the Fox movies during the credits broke me because those were some of my favorite movies and it brought back great memories.

I loved the insanity, dumb jokes, and 4th wall breaking because I know we'll never see this kind of movie again.

[–] Avg@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But that's what I went to watch though.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah but Deadpool himself was shit, as were most of the other characters.

Gambit had the wrong neck too.

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It was better than i expected, but my expectations were super low. Thinking back about what i liked is kinda rough, because there isn't much. I don't even want to watch the movie again.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It was good compared to everything mcu post endgame.

And lame compared to most stuff pre-endgame.

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yep. I was disappointed watching it. Too much breaking the 4th wall and self referential humor.

[–] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm sorry but this is literally what Deadpool is supposed to be. If it's not for you it's not for you.

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It felt ramped way up over the last two. I like the humor, it was just turned up to 11.
