You think? I think that poster would put a lot of people off. Deadpool isn't exactly a high profile character like Spiderman or Batman. I would have thought the film wouldn't benefit from misleading posters like that.

Deadpool also isn't a film that is likely to attract viewers who haven't heard of it yet. Those who've heard of Deadpool will be highly entertained by the poster, those who haven't probably weren't going to see it anyway.

Is there a good deadpool kicking off point?

I'm pretty sure they're getting paid enough to know what they're doing

Which is why I don't think the marketing people in charge of this film are doing a good job. Surely they should be attracting everyone to the film? New and old fans alike?

Not everything has to be bland mass-market lowest-common-denominator stuff. Sometimes it's OK to try and be loved by a few instead of liked by a lot.

I'm not saying fans or people who've read the comics, I'm saying that niche of people that pays attention to pop culture. You'd know about Deadpool by this point, even if you'd never read a single comic.

Like Mali, for example.

I am a shining example.

Turns out you can polish a turd.

But it's still funny, no?

Do I agree? Or disagree? I didn't find it funny so what should I say?

Does she want it to be cut down to a PG so one boy can see it?

Jesus.

Yes, that's patently ludicrous. Although some internet rando calling a woman a whore (even in 'character') for trying to do something for her son isn't particularly funny imo.

Isn't her son dead? The "in honor of" makes me think he is

No

Oh. Well. Either way, I dunno.

Good input as ever

What the fuck is wrong with these people?
1) Why does that kid even know about Deadpool?
2) Why does she feel so entitled that she feels that she should have something she has no input or control over should be changed to meet her pointless desires
3) Why does a person completely unconnected to these events feel the requirement to call her a whore for doing so?

There are so many great comments here - from other kids like Matthew who are eager to see the movie to adults taking a stand that "funny doesn't have to be inappropriate"!

Also there's a child-friendly trailer, which they put on before Star Wars yesterday.

Would Deadpool say something like that?

Objection: irrelevant

Not if the person writing was writing in character and it was the sort of thing the character would say.

I already said in my original reply that it was irrelevant even in character. It's still some internet rando calling a woman a whore. It doesn't exist inside a bubble - you must think of the wider implications.

I mean Ryan Reynolds, not Deadpool, obvs.
