OK real talk can anyone tell me if the 1st deadpool movie is watchable because I’m dying for these gifs I’m seeing of literally everyone other than deadpool like I’m sure he’s fine as a character but you know how IRL when you find out someone’s a deadpool fan and then they’re also like a fucken men’s rights activist or some shit
I just… want to watch her movie, who is she, I love her, will she marry me
yes it is, very watchable.
Every “men’s rights” who stan Deadpool are simply displaying their usual level of intelligence and insight. Deadpool (and Ryan Reynolds) are everything they are not and shit and piss in a kinky way on everything these assholes stand for. They simply don’t get it.
Deadpool 1 is good, Deadpool 2 is fucking great.
This is so weird my real life friend and my internet friend are talking to each other about Deadpool.
But yes, @iscariotsss , I second this opinion. Deadpool is full of unabashed gay innuendo. The second one has a canonical lesbian couple. The side characters kind of are the best part, but I don’t think that’s a problem.
Wait is it gay innuendo like queerbatey “haha gays!” Or is it… gay
Like my tolerance for “haha gay” is zilch lately
It sorta depends on where they go with it from here. Those who know that Deadpool is pansexual in the comics see it as a recognition of the fact that he is actually attracted to men. But his only serious romantic and sexual relationship in the movies has been with a woman, which leaves it open to the douchebros to interpret the innuendo as “ha ha gay.” The same cannot be said of the lesbian relationship, which isn’t played for laughs (and remains pretty chaste, since it’s between two teenage girls).
From what I know of Ryan Reynolds, he’s been angling for Wade to have an actual relationship with a man and he’s been pushing the boundaries to try to convince the studio that they’re wrong to think it won’t sell. But I can’t promise that he’ll succeed… in which case the innuendo will turn out to have been queer-baity, even if the creative team didn’t mean it that way. And I do know that creator intention isn’t everything.

I see a bunch of posts about how people would die for Yukio (and like, hard agree on that one) but I really need more Domino positivity in my feed.
She IS a badass murder babe but she also manages to be incredibly adorable?
*Deadpool 2 spoilers* Like in that scene where she does 99.9% of the work for their first mission together-getting to the transport truck first, killing/getting rid of most of the bad guys, fighting Cable AND protecting the kid all by herself while DP just tries to catch up.
And the first thing she says to DP when he finally catches up to her and does one (1) useful thing?
A super sweet and I’m pretty sure sincere, “You’re doing amazing,”
AND she says it again when DP is trying to woo Colossus after his long speech.
AND she comes back to DP’s body and carries him to safety.
AND she’s the one who gets all the other kids out of the Abuse Hospital.
Domino is the supportive adorable badass BFF Deadpool deserves and I really need her to have her own movie pls 😭
^ This
TV series!!!! With minimal angst!
Domino is now my second favorite character in the X-Men franchise, broadly construed (Magneto is still #1 because I have an angsty villain fetish).
The way the media has been treating Ryan Reynolds and Josh Brolin’s dynamic during the Deadpool 2 promotion tour is giving me an insight into how all these homophobic fanboys can look past how blatantly queer the film is:
They think it’s all a fucking joke.
Josh Brolin has said repeatedly that he’s had a crush on Ryan Reynolds for a long time. That he admires him, that he finds him attractive, that his feelings for Ryan are complicated and unrequited but real.
And yet all I’m seeing are articles and youtube compilations about Josh’s “hilarious” “man crush” and how “funny” it is every time Josh talks about Ryan or they interact.
And I would suspect it was intentionally meant to be part joking and part queerbaiting for the purpose of fanning the movie’s hype except that:
Josh is out there correcting people who call it a bromance – saying “It’s a real romance”.
He’s having to tell people that “It’s not a joke”.
He’s calling interviewers out for laughing.
He’s saying that the only reason he feels weird admitting it is because people are treating his crush as funny.
And this audience attitude is the same one that allows Deadpool to come onto Colossus with the exact same context and tone he came onto Vanessa in the first film, and still lets straight fuckboys think it’s a joke.
It’s why Cable and Deadpool can explicitly flirt, and even have Cable do something as hugely self-sacrificing and romantic for the other man as he does, but there will still be people hypothesising that their strong connection is because Cable’s wife is Deadpool’s daughter or something.
At first I was annoyed that the film was too chicken to end with the two characters getting together, even though (without spoiling it for you) it wouldn’t have felt quite right for the plot so soon.
But now I’m suspecting that even if we’d had a passionate, candle-lit sex scene between Cable and Deadpool, these douchebags would still think it was some hilarious joke.
The franchise can capitalise on that homophobia to get more queerness into the movies, and to be honest it probably already has.
But I’m doubtful that they can do anything that’ll get through the thick skulls of these fuckboy-fanboys.
Look, Deadpool is never going to be the guy that’s trying to save the world, he represents a dysfunctional idiot who just wants to be a better person. He’s immature, impetuous and his goals are very shortsighted: he wants save a kid [Russell], he doesn’t want to save the planet. For me, being a superhero means to be better, I don’t think it means that you have to save Metropolis from an evil empire. That’s the credo of Deadpool too; he’s just a guy trying to be a little bit better than he was yesterday. That’s interesting to me, because we’re all flawed and very complex.
