Perfect execution, no notes.

[-] AmidFuror@fedia.io 99 points 3 months ago

Amen! Audiences today are such snowflakes that this movie would be immediately cancelled.

[-] Zulu@lemmy.world 42 points 3 months ago

Yeah! Imagine how poorly it would do!

[-] blackluster117@possumpat.io 81 points 3 months ago

I'm boycotting streaming the movie by watching it in theatres.

[-] 3ntranced@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I'm boycotting watching the movie by seeding several torrents of it to show other people how much I disapprove

[-] IonAddis@lemmy.world 58 points 3 months ago

The thing that makes me cackle about this movie, as a Fandom!Old, is that it's basically written as the crackiest crack-ship you could ever find on AO3.

And yet...it's had one of the biggest box-offices ever.

This brings me no end of glee.

[-] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 83 points 3 months ago

Fandom!Old = one who has been in a certain fandom for a long time.

Crack-ship = Shipping is a romantic and/or sexual pairing of two fictional characters. A crack-ship is a ship that makes no logical sense, as if it was conceived with heavy drug use, or made "on crack".

AO3 = Archive of Our Own, a website for fanfictions, fan art, fan videos, and other fan-produced content for various different fandoms. One may find many crack-ships here.

Thank you kind internet passerby.

I think a ship between deadpool and Wolverine makes a lot of sense though. At least from the perspective of it being a piece of entertainment media. They have experiences they share exclusively, as well as personal, natural ones. They have a lot in common, in terms of interest, history, social circles. They also have very divergent personalities. It is perfect ship material.

[-] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 7 points 3 months ago

They also have the same superpower

[-] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com -2 points 3 months ago

Not exactly.

Deadpool doesn't have the claws, or the heightened senses, and he seems to “heal” somewhat faster (though that's probably due to Wolverine's heavy metal poisoning due to the adamantium skeleton; he heals faster if he doesn't have it, but also becomes more animalistic).

Also, Wolverine's healing factor would probably be able to deal with the cancer (he's been alive for over two hundred years without developing a single tumour), while Deadpool's barely manages to keep the cancer from killing him, because it also sort of makes it super cancer; he exists in a constant balancing act between the cancer and a runaway healing factor killing him. If he were to be cured of the cancer without also removing the healing factor, it wouldn't be pretty:

Super Cancer Skrulls

SPLORCH!

And, of course, as much trauma as he has, Wolverine isn't insane enough to break the fourth wall.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Just watch rhe movie.

[-] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 35 points 3 months ago

you should bottle up whatever you just said and sell it to the kids as new slang.

[-] MagnyusG@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

it's already old slang, the kiddos wouldn't buy it.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

just say it's post-ironic meta humor they'll lap it up

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 3 months ago

Don't sell kids crack!

[-] systemglitch@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

What is a fandom!old, crackiest crack-ship ao3?

[-] Sesudesu@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

I’m pretty sure AO3 is a fan fiction site. And they are saying that Deadpool and wolverine are just an absurd ship you would find in the craziest fanfic.

[-] Hawke@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Fandom!old means he is saying this as an elder member of the fandom

[-] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

I immediately recognized “ship” and “ao3” but I still have no idea what the rest of it means

[-] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Some weird Zoomer lingo, I assume. \s

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

This has an extra layer of amusement for anyone who knows where your name came from.

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

It is pitch black in here.

[-] Fades@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Cringe as fuck, that’s what

[-] aStonedSanta@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago

I’m with the other dude. I got no idea what this means. Lmao

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 49 points 3 months ago

Looking at the thumbnail and I thought it was going to be a weird AI homoerotic photo of the two. Nope just a homoerotic photo of the two from the movie.

[-] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 36 points 3 months ago

Took me a while to figure out what Weird Al has to do with this.

[-] dnick@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago

You know he put out a press release admitting that his entire last album was Al generated?

[-] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

Hmm I missed that and can't find anything about it.

[-] dnick@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Well it was just a joke based on the fact that Al and AI look identical in most fonts, and difficult distinguish in most others.

[-] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

Ah of course!

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Bragging even.

[-] VulKendov@reddthat.com 21 points 3 months ago

So, ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ will have to be kept safe in the vault with other classics like “Blazing Saddles,”

Funny that the article mentions that as the theater I went to had an ad for an event screening of Blazing Saddles before Deadpool & Wolverine started

[-] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 19 points 3 months ago

I thought you were retired

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago

This took me a second to process.

[-] Teknikal@eviltoast.org 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Movies definetly successful but I tend to rapidly lose interest in these multiple timeline/dimension plots. I switched off completely when Loki, Spiderman, Dr Strange and now Deadpool have used the same plot.

I can't argue with success though so maybe it's a me thing.

[-] Siethron@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

I mean the movie was basically a satire of the multi-dimensional thing.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

Pretty sure they even say in the movie that they should stop with the multiverse stuff.

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

I don't get the downvotes, you just stated your opinion. I personally can't get enough of multiuniverse time line shenanigans. It's great we live in a world where we both can find the type of media we love at relatively high quality.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

The movie was fantastic. If you didn't see it, I highly recommend it. It's not really about multiple timelines, even tho that's a plot point.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

Coppola in shambles. Can't even get a trailer out without getting canceled. What a loser
