Isn't that more of the writers' fault than the internet?

I'unno, the internet does have a habit of running every good thing into the ground.

Good point.

Some characters aren't made for all ages. Deadpool is one of them.

The version of Deadpool on Ultimate Spider-Man wasn't Deadpool. I can't believe anyone actually liked that version.

I know, right? It was generic as hell and incredibly annoying. Deadpool isn't meant to be annoying to his audience, only the characters he interacts with.

Not sure if this has been posted already, but here's a few more set photos showing Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein and Gina Carano - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...-Deadpool.html

He was the biggest star in Waiting at the time, so he's front and center on the posters, the dvd's top billing, but he's BARELY in the movie. He's a side story. The main character is Justin Long's character. Reynolds is not even in Still Waiting. Waiting grossed like 7 times the budget.

PG-13 Deadpool can work when he's part of other movies in the X-Men universe, but I think an 90 minute or longer movie with limited adult content would get so much hatred from fans. The crazy thing is, they probably could have done a lot with blood and gore but would have to tone down the cursing, and sexual imagery and or sex talk.

I think there were options if it was pg-13 like bleeping the curses and having Deadpool address the audience about it being pg-13 etc...but it's much better off having an adult themed comic be an adult themed movie. If you can't handle gratuitous gore, cursing, crass humor, and nudity I'd avoid this at all cost.

Plus, some of his most memorable (to me, anyway) scenes have involved things like Wolvie cutting off his head and then putting it back on again, or assassin monkeys with guns shooting the crap outta him. You couldn't have stuff like that in aPG-13 movie.

Um, beg to differ. Reynolds' character was the one showing the new guy around for HALF the movie! The only other one with as big a role was the guy being offered the promotion, and he ended up quitting. And it was Ryan's character who invited the new kid to the party,and hosted it. The other characters were the ones with the side stoies. If that's "barely in it" you may need to watch it again, cause he was in over half the scenes.

Also, haven't watched Still Waiting in some time, but it wasn't really about him, and I'm pretty sure he was at least mentioned.

But yeah, took the words outta my mouth on that one. I feel like if they're gonna do a whole movie about him, the character needs more of a hook than "talks to the audience" or whatever. Otherwise, it kinda is just Spider-Man with swords and guns and stuff.

I also feel like the way Spidey is portrayed in Ultimate Spider-Man, he appears to just be a Deadpool clone but without the whole bad language and killing people thing. If that makes sense. It's like Disney XD wanted to make a Deadpool cartoon but we're forced into making a Spider-Man cartoon at the last minute.

I own the movie on Bluray, and coincidentally watched it 2 weeks ago. He is a supporting character to Justin Long's character who is the one struggling with the decision to take a manager position or not. The movie has a lot of characters and a gag throughout the movie is Reynolds training the new guy, and never letting him talk. There is not story arc to Reynold's character other than he's accepted his path in life and likes underage girls. Justin Long's character and Mitch, the trainee are the only two with story arcs.

Still Waiting is about a competitive store opening up next door and the guy who couldn't piss, is now the manager.

Yeah, I KNOW what it's abut- I own BOTH movies, and have watched the first one numerous times myself. My POINT was that he is in the majority of the film, whether he has a story arc or not. He is training the new guy throughout the movie, and that training even intrudes on the story arcs of Justin and everyone else! That's hardly "barely there" by ANY standard.

R.I.P.D. - $130m budget - $12m Opening weekend
Green Lantern - $200m budget - $53m opening weekend, but only grossed $116m
Safe House - $85m budget - $40m opening weekend - made it's money back in 2 weeks
The Proposal - $40m budget - Made $33m opening weekend - made it's money back in 2 weeks
The Change Up - $52m budget - Made $13m opening weekend - $75m worldwide
Just Friends - Unkown budget - Grossed over $50m for a small comedy
Amityville Horror - $19m budget - Opening weekend $23m
Waiting - $3m budget - $6m opening weekend, grossed $16m (He was barely in this movie, but it was sold as a Ryan Reynolds movie)


I wouldn't say he's had a string of bombs. He does a lot of indie or low budget movies, and his last 2 big budget movies were not successful, even though Green Lantern did have a good opening weekend.

I would also say they bomb because they're bad movies, not because of him. R.I.P.D. is awful, and it's not his fault.

If you guys haven't seen "The Voices" with Ryan Reynolds, you must. It's literally my favorite movie of the past 10 years. It's as much hysterical as it is tragically sad... and it's this perfect balance.

I can't believe anyone likes Ultimate Spider-Man.

That's not real nudity, though, that's just boobs.

Sure, but boobs can appear in life time dramas that isn't R-rated "devil movies"

Well... Here at least. The American ratings can be a bit... Over zealous I suppose...

[Leo656]

Yeah, you can show a guy getting his head chopped off as long as there's only "some" blood splatter, but god forbid you show a nipple. Doesn't really make much sense. Because like, boobs make everything better and the world really needs more of them.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

The MPAA ratings system is really wacko.

They need to give it a rehaul sometime. Add in a PG-16 or something for those instances of nipples and decapitations that don't fall under 'R' but are too sensitive for 'PG-13'.

[THGhost]

Even more awesome leaked photos from the set!

LOVING the suit!

Motion capture dots on the eyes. Interesting. Probably to add in wild facial expressions in post.
