Yea I know, “another article about Deadpool and Wolverines success, how boring…” Give me a chance! because what I’m about to tell you isn’t about how good the movie is (because I assume that you already think that it is) but more so allowing me to relay to you about the comedic writing that this movie holds. Also? Spoiler Alert.
Where exactly do I start? well maybe at the literal start where Deadpool visits Wolverines grave from the 2017 film “LOGAN” which itself was a gag. Prior to the release of the movie, Ryan Reynolds stated in one of the promotional trailers that he will “definitely” protect logans legacy ever since his death in the film…which he immediately disrespects in the first scene of DP&W when Deadpool straight up digs up Wolverines grave!
What’s special about DP&W is the awareness of their own flaws and turning it into an hilarious flick by breaking the 4th wall, which is something Deadpool is very well known for, a great example would be around a couple minutes into the movie when Deadpool was calling himself “Marvel Jesus” believing he was called to “Save the MCU” since the recent MCU movies has been struggling in terms of box-office standard. Not to mention a funny little jab towards the FOX studios who previously owned the rights to Deadpool and the X-Men.
Another incredible thing to take note is the attention to detail the writers had throughout the movie, for instance, when Deadpool had an entire montage to find a Wolverine for his universe, which lead him to find well, different variants of Wolverine that you may not expect! However what’s impressive is the comic accurate details that the writers have placed on towards each version of Wolverine
I remember when I was watching the movie with a couple of my buds and just the amount of times the theatre burst out laughing throughout the film, whether it be quick quips, reoccurring jokes, and whimsical 4th wall breaks but the one scene we always end up talking about was the whole segment about Nice-pool not having a healing factor. I would love to share the clip but it’s wayyyy too violent for your own eyes!
And that should be some of the scenes that highlighted some of the best comedic writing, obviously there’s a lot more but then you may as well just watch the movie! I’m pretty sure it’s still on your local theatres at this time so go on grab a ticket!
