excited about the new deadpool movie in production if it wasn't obvious. 🫣

[wade-a-minute]

GOD yes!!! finally i see people talking about these things that have also bothered me!! I was gonna go off on wade's voice bu then i realized the addition to the post would be too long so i decided to make my own post on that specifically

Hard agree on the point about the humor! I really didnt find it funny when he says those swearwords that sound like theyre from 2013 (''holy fucking shitballs'' etc), he doesnt even swear that often in the comics?? Ryan fought tooth and nail for that R-rating which he should have but it seems they didnt know what else to do with it except gore, so they just chucked in random swearwords for characters so say (getting Colossus to say fuck in the 2nd movie; also Cable calling wade a cunt??? really? Cable wouldnt talk like that)

@spider-mand hit the nail on the head with the declawed comment! The movies have definitely washed him out a bit, took away some of his edges - he's less mean, less conflict-seeking, less impulsive, more mellow? He's also more established and normal when in the comics he's anything but - his life is a mess and all of his personal relationships are messy. In the movies, despite everything, his life is relatively okay while he has Vanessa.

Im guessing all of this was done to make him more likable to the general public but i dont think he should be so easy to root for. In the comics you ofc root for him as well, but you also see him do some very stupid and bad things - you disapprove but what makes you like him is that once he becomes aware of his issues - he makes an effort to do something about it. he's not an arrogant character in the sense that he believes everything he does is right - he points out so many times that he's done bad things during his life he's not proud of, his self-hate is clear, he's aware he acts like a douchebag and sabotages his own life because of his faults. I think more people should be more scared of him - Weasel, Al, other mercenaries in Sister Margaret's, the x-men hello??? In the comics almost all characters interact with him with caution - as if hes a loose canon, which they have every right to do, based on his reputation? Hes a crazy capable but also unpredictable and extremely violent which makes him a scary guy!

Also another issue i have with the movies is that they are too optimistic, yeah tragic things happened ofc, but the overall tone is optimistic. The genre is undoubtedly a comedy, and i think it should have been a dark comedy instead, or a gritty tragic movie with comedic elements.

Like for example, the first movie ended with the romantic ending about true love and whatnot. Why? Wade and Vanessa's relationship in the comics is nothing but messy, i honestly think they should have just left it at the fact that he abandonded her and that was it. The ending would have felt more real, raw and not so happy bc i think a big part of Wade's character and the comics is the weird balance between humor and tragedy. Sometimes life just goes to shit, this is who he is now and his life isnt great, its never been. Then they continue this dynamic in the second movie, w and v live together and even plan to have a child?? this is SO out of character for me, why would wade ever voluntarily become a parent when we know he would never think he is capable of this?? even before ellie's existence, this should be obvious, and when he meets her he can barely bring himself to say the word 'father'

not to end on a negative note - i agree that the movie did a lot of this right and ryans performance was good. they showed how vulnerable he is, that he has morals indeed and is gentle towards kids

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.

#havent read many comics of his after 2015 #and seeing as ive read multiple opinions from other people on them #im just kind of dreading them #give me back my 90s wade

Deadpool's voice and its media portrayals

I read this post by @jhirowolf and @spider-mand, which inspired me to make my own post specifically about dp's voice - please read the og post first!

In the comics it's known that Deadpool has a unique voice - his speech boxes are yellow while everyone elses' are white. What makes it unique is its quality (it's described as rough, raspy and gravelly) but I also think that it's its cadence too (i'll get in to this below). Unfortunately, Ryan's voice in the movies doesn't really come close to this - for multiple reasons.

Ryan's voice physically is very smooth and also pretty high but I get the sense that as dp, he doesnt really do much for his voice, he is pretty much just himself and cracking jokes. As @jhirowolf pointed out, he kind of has this smooth, sarcastic tone. For me the vibe is that of a stereotypical side-character who mumbles sarcastic comments at whatever the other characters are doing. Ryan's voice is often mellow, calm and even

I dont have concrete examples right now, but in the comics SO many characters call Wade insane mere minutes upon meeting him, despite the fact that they dont know anything about him apart from the fact that he is a mercenary.

Why? Because of his voice!

Immediately upon hearing him talk they conclude he is unhinged and unstable and generally unwell. He's loud, aggressive, speaks a mile a minute and on top of that makes dark jokes serious situations that no one else laughs at. It freaks people out and rightfully so! Adding on to this, I think he varies his pitch and rhythm frequently, further making him appear unstable because his voice is never even or monotone for more than a few seconds. I'm basing this on the fact that his speech bubbles are so much bigger than everyone else's (he talks a lot) and also bc he varies his facial expressions and body language a lot when he speaks.

@jhirowolf mentions that Denis Leary was the inspiration for his voice, which i had no idea about but looking at this video, I think his cadence is perfect. You feel that unlimited energy, the loudness, the unpredictableness, his voice and the look behind his eyes make him seem manic and frantic - which it should! It puts people on edge around him, gives him his reputation of being unpredictable and also makes him regard him as insane. Wade doesnt give a shit about norms for socializing, how loud or crass he is - hes got shit to say and hes gonna say it, no matter how much it may annoy, offend or make others uncomfortable

i think the teaser trailer for the first movie could be Ryans best work when it comes to wades voice

Conversely, this video could be the worst:

Like this is purely Ryan, theres no deadpool here. its just his own shameless self-promo in a dp suit

Nolan's voice, on the other hand, isn't perfect either bc it kind of has the similar smooth quality as ryans, its not gravelly, raspy or anything. But his cadence is soo good! He's calm one minute but you never know when he's gonna snap and lose his shit, i love it

And yeah, Nolan's performance and the funny moments are the only good thing to come out of this game (well i guess another positive is that it made him more popular, it certainly was one of my first encounters which made me interested in him). The bad thing is the amount of damage it did to the complexity of dp's character - they stripped away his layers, the serious and tragic parts that make up who he is, instead of this they literally gave him 1 trait - insane. And that was it. I blame Way's 2008 run for this bc he essentially did the same thing - but the game turned it up to 11. Way at least included several serious and earnest moments where Wade was forced to be introspective and face his issues

in conclusion - so far our ears havent yet been blessed to hear wade's voice

#if anyone has any other video examples pls tell me #these were just off the top of my head #deadpool #wade wilson

Can you make a compilation of Wade singing from the comics? Sorry if this is too specific!

omg that's such a cute idea! it's not too specific, i'll see what I can do ;)

#it's gonna take me some time probably but when i'm done i'll tag you in the post

[wade-a-minute]

they're divorced. they weren't even married. this isn't romantic. they're definitely not platonic. they're cinematic parallels. they are fighting the narrative. they slowly built their relationship. they rely and trust each other. they were aggressively thrown into this. they want to bite each other's head off. they kill for each other. they live for each other. they should kiss. they would put each other in a blender. they're insane. they don't even realise. they're fully aware it.
