A Few Thoughts on the "Deadpool" Trailer

Written by Scotty

Well, I have had some free time while my computer has been updating to Windows 10 to check out some movie trailers and I may like or not like what I see.  This week has been crazy busy with news on two of the movies that are going to be the largest pushes for 2016 and I cannot wait to see what will happen with them. 

The first of this series has to be Deadpool who just had a new trailer released this week.  I must admit that after the test footage that was released months ago, I was not sure what to expect from this movie, but now with two official trailers coming out, I am much more excited.  Showing Wade Wilson being diagnosed with cancer everywhere, he is looking for a way to do right by his wife, but what appears to happen when he is on the operating table is an explosion that will leave him scared for the rest of his days.  Covering up with his new ‘super powers’, the new soldier is looking to take his pain out on the evil doers around the city.

But that is not all when you get to see that the X-Men are going to be playing a role in this with their mutant powers.  I am not sure how this is going to work into the story since Wade was never a mutant and his powers were given to him in a lab.  Pretty sure that there is going to be a joke about that somewhere in the movie.  Wade will still have his swords, if you saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine you would understand, but there appears to be nothing else the same from that storyline, at least at first glance.  Working towards something, looking like his wife has been kidnapped and he has to release her, the undying merc will have his hands filled with his past, along with everyone that is trying to stop his present path to righteousness. 

After watching these trailers, I am sold on the Deadpool movie, even though I do not fully know the story behind him.  Admittedly, I have not been a huge fan of this character, but when he gets thrown into a Romero storyline, Night of the Living Deadpool, I know I can understand some of the things he is able to do.  With plenty of action and a conversation with Weasel (T.J. Miller) that has to be improvised to see who will break first, I see that there will be blood along with a huge amount of laughs, and with Ryan Reynolds poking fun at his Green Lantern disaster that was, I do not see any reason to think that this movie will not be worth my time.  Will this be Fox’s next blockbuster smash?  I fail to see why not right now, but I am sure we will see plenty of additional information coming out of the camp the closer we get to the release date.
