Deadpool (2016) - WTF Happened to this Movie?

In this new series, we'll be taking a look at a variety of films that had historically troubled productions or controversial problems in making it to the big screen. Some were massive hits despite their problems, while others died a slow box office death. Regardless of where they ended up, we have to ask the question: WTF happened to this movie? Join host Ian Michael Jentzsch as he deep dives into the long road to the big-screen success of DEADPOOL, starring Ryan Reynolds. The movie ended up a worldwide phenomenon, so why did it take to long to happen? Why was the rating so important? What kept Ryan Reynolds chasing the project for so long, even after a failed first attempt at a superhero role? Time to make the chimichangas and find out!

Deadpool forgetting his weapons' bag is the best budget cut I have ever seen.

[@unclejohn4528]

Yeah, it worked, right. I thought the first was much better than the second. The reason being is budget and drive. They spent their drive and ambition up on the first one and relied too heavily on CGI on the second.

[@vertsk8er419]

@Stellvia Heonheim yeah they only care about money, THAT'S THE PROBLEM

[@nightcoon5374]

@Stellvia Heonheim yes. The big studios are only half the problem. The cinema visitors are the other half cause they buy this repeating shit. Its a problem that cannot really be solved. sadly... unless more projects like deadpool pay off as big successes and repeating shit gets more and more unpopular to watch for the average person. But sadly most of the people i know like these kind of ever repeating nonsense movies... so I think nothing will really change

[@notydino]

You have to consider, the studio executive has one job. Make money for the studio. If the movie flops, they lose their job. No one wants to be unemployed, so no one takes risks. In UK, you can get almost no strings attached grants to make movies/series/etc which are funded via tv licenses (basically tv tax). That is why you see creative and riskier productions come out from the Brits.

@Sinjin Smyth The movie DeadPool only ripped off it's own comic DeadPool. WTF are you on about?

[@DaShonuff]

@@alexioskalafatis But now future deadpools might be pg 13 :/

[@John_McDonnell]

​@@DaShonuff If Marvel Studios under Disney makes Deadpool 3 at all, it'll probably be R-rated. Any appearances of Deadpool in the greater MCU will, of course, be PG-13. There's no law saying a Disney-released move *must not* be R-rated. For instance: "Disney has released a number of R-rated films through various subsidiaries such as Miramax, Dimension Films, and Touchstone Pictures over the years including Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Trainspotting, From Dusk Till Dawn, Sin City, Scream, Bad Santa, Con Air, Pretty Woman, and Starship Troopers." All technically Disney movies, just not under the Disney title (which the MCU movies aren't either, they're Marvel Studios, you remember seeing any Disney logo? Me neither). They're in the business of making money, not kid movies (however kid movies also make money, so that's that). So buck up true believer.

[@ComicPower]

Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool will be the only Xmen universe actor on Fox that will survive the Disney buyout of Fox. Everyone else will be recast for sure.

[@superomegaprimemk2]

Deadpool is Reynolds's pet project and people have reacted favourly to the films, besides Reynolds must of made back the money he spent on paying the script writers in the first movie to be on set, also, the first Deadpool movie was made on a budget that far less than the disasterous Wolverine Origins movie, so its a fine of example of less it more.

[@arkron81]

I don't know... the actor who played Beast looked quite good in his looks and interpretation, at least for me.

[@OfAngelsAndAnarchist]

Who cares ? Actors are easily replaced

[@arkron81]

@@OfAngelsAndAnarchist They can be "easily replaced", yes. But that doesn't mean the new casting will work as well, if at all. I honestly cannot imagine any other actor playing Iron Man, Deadpool or Wolverine as well as their current respective actors, for example.

[@superomegaprimemk2]

@@OfAngelsAndAnarchist That is not always the case, you can replace some actors but some are associated with certain roles and it can make or break a career and some movies along the way!

[@jasonferguson4934]

I remember me and my buddy's being so excited that deadpool would be in wolverine . It was biggest disappoint ever . So happy Ryan carried on and kept the faith the movie was awesome and showed as usual fox have no idea what makes a good movie anymore.

[@marvelfoxmorty5057]

They work so hard that they finally achieved their goal... Great inspiration

[@Karynthian]

The idea that the studio almost passed on this film just reinforces that idea that large studio executives are incredibly disconnected from audiences and have no clue what they're doing. Marvel Studios did it right by making every movie with comic book fans in mind. I guess Fox still needs to be shown up by them time and time again before getting that through their heads.

[@faelwolf1177]

I'm in the camp that thinks the budget cuts actually helped the movie. Without them, it would have been just another over the top action movie where the effects become the focus and ruin it.

[@DHynes5]

I also loved how they covered up the fact that the budget was cut with Deadpool forgetting his duffle bag twice. Most films with cut budgets would try to move on pretending that nothing happened

[@saurabhraj2027]

And bigger budget would make studio more desperate to control every aspect of the movie

[@AlexSmith-tz2lf]

Not with such a flawlessly perfect character casting like Ryan Reynolds.

[@JDFinsFan]

Blade was the 1st successful Marvel movie. It was also R rated. So you questions as to if it could be done? Yes, it could clearly. Nearly 20 years early.

[@jw7665]

Blade was also what made the Avengers happen, since it was the first successful Marvel movie.

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

Blade was the shit

[@JasperJanssen]

Blade was only marginally successful by modern standards. The X men trilogy far surpassed the Blade trilogy in box office.

[@shardfilterbox]

But it wasn't funny, and didn't break the 4th wall. And it didn't really FEEL like a comic book movie, more like an action movie like The Matrix (I don't think that was a comic first...right?). Also, it was about vampires, so which is an easy one to lean on if you have a good movie (along with dinosaurs, robots, etc) BUT, after everything, we ended up with the PERFECT Deadpool. So sucks there was all that BS to get there, but it would have been a different movie if not for that.

But then I found out Van Wilder was playing the titular role and I had no choice I had to go see it.

I never understand the urge for studios to water down R rated movies to PG-13. It seems to only irritate adult fans and teens will watch R movies anyways.

[@malcolmmiles3603]

This is coming from a business standpoint studios feel that a PG-13 movie will likely put more butts in seats than a R rated movie especially when it comes to superhero movies. Most superhero movies will get a child's attention and if it's G, PG, or PG-13 parents are more likely to bring there kids. So it's more so they can appeal to a broader audience. Which they shouldn't do because you in turn destroy the essence of the character. Me being a comic book fan I understand which characters deserve what ratings but Deadpool, Wolverine, Punisher, or any assassin type character deserves a R rating that's why most of their comics usually have a parental advisory warning.

The fact, that he paid the screen writers out of his own damn pocket proves to me how amazing and dedicated he is.

[@Formakiwi]

I feel like Green Lantern (2011) was intended to be DC/WB's Iron Man (2008). It's certainly the Marvel product it most closely resembles in terms of tone and style. Instead it seems to have ended up as their version of Hulk (2003); an ambitious, mildly interesting, high concept footnote with no noticeable subsequent influence.
