I promise I haven't fallen victim to the DP craze. My adoration of Ryan Reynolds goes way back to Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place. Yeah. Way back. Decades. Note the "s."
But why not go crazy for the crazy mouthy merc? Especially since it's the perfect role for Reynolds? Here's how to make the most of your Deadpool viewing experience. The more seasoned your are in comic spice, the more Easter eggs you'll catch:
1. Start with some light torture. Green Lantern, starring, of course, Ryan Reynolds. Ignore the crappy CGI, the fact that Ryan would have been better as Kyle than Hal, and enjoy the movie. Tons of Green Lantern Easter eggs for the fans. It's actually not such a bad movie if you can ignore the awfulness of it. ^_-
2. Turn the torture dial up. X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Weapon X. Pretty sure I don't need to say anything else here.
3. Treat yo'self. The Voices, starring, guess who? Imagine the multi-verse and plant Deadpool here as a normal psycho instead of a mutant psycho merc. It's a surprising delight.
4. Prepare for Maximum Effort. The Hitman's Bodyguard, deliciously filled with Ryan Reynolds. Again, thinking multi-verse, this could almost be a Deadpool prequel. Almost. He's got moves and his mind.
5. Main Event Part I. Deadpool. Duh.
6. Main Event Part II. Deadpool 2. Duh x2. Especially if you watched numbers 1, 2, and 5.
7. Bringing it down. Way down. Buried, tragically starring Ryan Reynolds. Please note the irony. Please. Please. Please!
Of course there are plenty of other Reynolds movies to pepper in at your discretion. It's fun to watch his non-DP movies with DP in mind. Give it try! What do you think? Have any suggestions to make it better? See you in the comments!
