Was a bit disappointed the movie didn't make any jokes at the expense of T.J. Miller's implosion. Not the safest target, I guess.

They would've had to have gone back and done reshoots. I'd imagine they just want to let it go. And probably, Reynolds is most likely friends with him, and being lovely to your friend during their lowest point isn't cool.

Everyone who isn't friends with Miller should rag on him though.

It's a lowest point of his own making. gently caress that guy.

People think I'm always defending someone when I mention that their in real life friends might not be so quick to say "gently caress 'em"

I don't care about TJ Miller. I don't think he deserves to be in movies right now. But like, I can see why Ryan Reynolds may not want to make a supremely public joke about his, I'm assuming, friend's issues.

They are if you stay friends with a sex monster who called in a bomb threat because a woman wouldn't go on a date with him.

The trick is to not stay friends with them.

I’m not Ryan Reynolds! I’m only just giving a possible reason why there wasn’t any jokes at his expense.

I have friends who are still friends with really bad people and continue to be friends with them despite completely not enjoying their company. It’s weird. It’s all weird!

No, that's just stupid, not weird. You are friends with bad people who you don't like hanging out with, that's stupid.

I like my friends, enjoy their company, and don't have to ignore massive breaches of the social contract. It's cool. You should try it.

Stop twisting my loving words.
I’ll cop to the first part because I did say being lovely to your friends during their lowest isn’t good, which I’ll stand by in a general sense.


I’m not friends with a sex pest, rapist, or super racist, I have no context irl here. My friends who are friends with those who are are not me, and I don’t share that same comraderee.

I really adored this movie. Its the first movie but with more and better in some ways.

Anytime Cable is standing in a mirror with the purple comic book city behind him just owns.

I went to the double showing thing and that was worth it to be honest. Good character stuff carries through.

I disagree that playing the death comepletely straight, using it to kick start the entire plot and then reversing it in a quick joke post credits is satire. Winking at the camera and saying "this lazy writing" doesn't make it any less so, but at this point :shrug:

But it's not really about her dying. It's about Deadpool growing as a person. He was already doing that before she died. Her death actually put him back 10 steps.

His entire story is triggered, developed and concluded as a result of it. Any other event could have been used but they went for the laziest one IMO.

My dude, it did the exact opposite of what you said.

So the film opens with Deadpool doing merc poo poo, and going super deep into it. But at the same time as he's doing all this killin, he's also trying to settle down and actually have some kids. For once he feels a real connection with a person and is willing to do something with that person that he never thought he could. He was changing into a more well rounded human. But then, due to his gently caress ups with being a merc, she dies. He doesn't go forward, but backward. He keeps trying to die and "see" Vanessa, but he can't because his "heart isn't in the right place." He wasn't changing. He was regressing.

He's motivated by seeing Firefirst and realizing, like him, he was abused. He doesn't have anyone. He can't change and be a better person without help. This is what motivates Deadpool. The act of connecting with a person who needs it the most. That's what the film was about. Finding meaningful connections with people.

Hmm, if only that wasn't all triggered off by the exact complaint I have.

Why was it impossible to develop Deadpool without unceremoniously killing off Vanessa?

They could've had a different theme, and point I suppose. But they didn't so oh well.

Yeah. Oh well. One of the laziest tropes in writing, women getting refrigerated to advance a male character's story, happened in a big movie where they tried to be progressive as heck. Oops!

Welp, no big deal, right? I'm a man, you're man, doesn't affect us so who cares right? :shrug:

You're right that they tried to put a positive twist on it but the fact that they did it at all is the problem. They didn't have to.

But "oh well". :rolleyes:

And before I have a million people come after me, I do get it. It wasn't my favorite thing in the film and I was worried about it. But I ended up understanding why they did it besides just "motivation". I thought it all tied in very well. And since she's not dead any more, they can easily give her a bigger role in the next one due to getting the big "meaningful connections" theme out of the way. And she can probably get her powers finally. Or maybe not. I dunno.

Deadpool’s on FX now, and they said gently caress and poo poo. But then it changes another line from “gently caress up worse guys” to “‘mess up”.

Eh, comics Deadpool curses but it’s bleeped and the violence has always been there.

He kinda needs to be R. It’s what sets him apart from the other comic movies.
