animation industry called "Officially forcing fans to death", which means that the creators absorb the creative ideas of fans and fans, or directly incorporate these contents into the subsequent plot development, or write the characters to death, and just do not leave them to the fans. A space for secondary creation. " Deadpool and Wolverine " (hereinafter referred to as "Deadpool 3") can be said to be a perfect interpretation of this state, with a large number of plots and plots developed to cater to the preferences of Marvel fans, turning the entire film into a TikTok A collection of audio-style funny videos that make people wonder whether to like and repost, or shake their heads and sigh. Movies, a classical form of entertainment, seem to have failed to keep up with the times. Watching an entire Marvel movie is better than watching Marvel. The short video clips created by fans are a joy.
Although compared to the lackluster look and feel of superhero movies in recent years, "Deadpool 3" is still a little interesting, but it is not much. After watching the film, I can't talk about how touching the plot is, or how majestic and heroic the characters are. I can only talk about the "feelings" outside the film.
"Deadpool and Wolverine" poster
The "feelings" here are not only dedicated to the heroic images of the "X-Men" series that have faded from the screen, but also to the production companies that have gradually been eliminated by the market in the superhero movie industry. , even including the main actors who are about to lose their jobs. Deadpool complained about Wolverine in the film, "You can still play until you are 90 years old", although this character has been written to death in the "Wolverine" trilogy. Fortunately, after a period of business inventory, capital - not Deadpool - discovered that it was quite valuable to dig up the hero's corpse from the grave and sell it again.
This also includes the laid-off and re-employed "Captain America" and "Superman" who appear in the film, even though they are not called by that name; as well as Blade Runner and so-and-so, heroes whose backgrounds are unclear to the audience. It's like a guest role in an old-fashioned sitcom. The moment you appear, you get a round of loud applause, but it doesn't make the whole plot any funnier.
When the ending subtitles are played, the production behind-the-scenes of related movies over the years will make people feel full of real feelings, and will give people who know this history a lot of aftertaste. At that time, "Uncle Wolf" was so young and cute!
Uncle Wolf is really old. Although he still has muscles, Hugh Jackman is already a 56-year-old actor.
Compared with discussing the plot that has nothing to say, the changes and upgrades in the film industry behind the film are more worth pondering. Before watching this film, it is recommended that you understand the following basic facts first, so that you can keep up with Deadpool's many lines while watching the film, and you can also show off to your friends who are watching the film that you are a "Marvel fan" -
1 , "X-Men" is a comic image under Marvel, which shows Professor X on the righteous side and Magneto on the evil side each leading a group of mutants to fight for the rights of mutants. Among them, the most famous warrior under Professor X is "Wolverine". Professor
2, the copyright of "X-Men", Marvel originally leased and sold it to 20th Century Fox for the development of a series of movies. The first "X-Men" was born in 2000, and the subsequent trilogy was released. At that time, Marvel also leased and sold the copyright of "Spider-Man" to Sony Pictures, and the first generation of "Spider-Man" was born in 2002. Therefore, Fox can be said to be the beginning of a generation of superhero movies, and its commercial success inspired many companies to follow up.
Fox used about 10 movies to create the image of the X-Men, but these movies did not bring them huge commercial returns.
3. With the popularity of Marvel Studios' self-produced "Iron Man" (2008), Disney acquired Marvel in 2009 and launched an ambitious "Avengers" series of movie plans, which not only truly created The market for superhero movies has also become the most successful leader in terms of film style and commercial revenue. But at this time, the copyrights of "X-Men" and "Spider-Man" are still in the hands of two other competitors.
4. At one point, Fox and Marvel reached an agreement. The two parties could use partially overlapping characters to create their own related movies. For example, "Quicksilver", the son of "Magneto", has two different characters in different movies. With Disney completing its acquisition of Fox in 2019, there are no longer legal issues with the use of relevant copyrights. It means that the characters of "X-Men" and "Avengers" will be integrated in the future. It is just a matter of time.
5. Because the character of Deadpool is particularly "slutty" and the adaptation style is full of bloody violence and a lot of swear words, it is generally classified as R-rated in the film classification, excluding many younger audiences, and it is a risky commercial project. But "Deadpool" (2016) and "Deadpool 2" (2018) were hugely successful in the market and became an iconic image created by Fox. Even after the end of the "Wolverine" trilogy, it has become more popular than The other "X-Men" are all more popular and anticipated by fans.
The "Deadpool" series of movies is full of violence and swear words, and attention will be paid to the rating label in the promotion in Taiwan, China. In the version released in mainland China, some bloody scenes were slightly deleted, and some swear words were muted.
6. Disney is a content production company that targets family-friendly audiences of all ages. Marvel Studios’ superhero style is also quite mainstream and healthy, such as the righteous and awe-inspiring “Captain America” or “Steel” which represents the adventurous spirit of the American cowboy. "Xia". "Deadpool's" venomous style is not mainstream culture. But since it has been proven commercially successful by Fox, there is no reason not to continue using it. Therefore, "Deadpool 3" is an important test for Disney and Marvel. It is likely that they will decide on the future development plan of "Avengers II" based on market response. After all, in recent years, Marvel's new superheroes have become increasingly unpopular with the market. It is always better to choose a controversial and traffic-rich new endorsement than to choose a healthy but no-one endorsement.
With the slow promotion of the big business background, "Deadpool 3" was finally launched. Marvel has followed the "Avengers" series' practice of turning movies into TV series, using the interaction between Deadpool and Wolverine as a selling point of this new film. Now the rating on the imdb website has reached 8.3, even surpassing the reputation of the first "Deadpool", giving another shot in the arm to the superhero movies that have been dying in recent years. It is conceivable that in the future, the interaction between Deadpool and other superheroes, such as "Guardians of the Galaxy", Doctor Strange, etc., will become a new important business plan to attract fans' attention and allow young audiences to enter the theater and continue to pay.
After "Captain America" and "Iron Man" leave office, who can carry the banner of a new generation of money printing machines? Whoever can make money is the one. Right now it looks like both Spidey and Deadpool are leading the charge.
Who will Deadpool team up with in the future? As long as you buy a ticket, you can see whoever you want. This time it's "tomatoes with scrambled eggs", next time you can start a "who's more popular combination" or "red and black showdown" with the little spider.
Based on the attitude of "as long as it doesn't break, keep using it", "Deadpool 3" follows the elements that successfully attracted audiences from the first two films, and tries to amplify these commercial hot spots. This film upgrades the main actor Ryan Reynolds to the first screenwriter and producer, and pairs him with a commercial director Sean Levy who has collaborated on several comedy action films as his partner. Obviously, this creative team is fully given I hope they can take bigger steps and not be afraid of nonsense, as long as they can make money.
It’s not that actors can’t also serve as screenwriters, but a big problem for actors when they start coding is that their long-term training in acting has made them pay more attention to real-time refreshment, a line that changes to a curse word, and a dog’s continuous licking action. He can sustain the plot for half a minute, but he is not good at the overall story layout and character development. The character of Deadpool is like a barrage robot that comes with it. He can make complaints, but the character is very empty. There are only "I want to become an Avenger" and "I want to save 9 friends". Inherent power.
This dog's performance may take up 4 minutes of the film.So the actor's idea as a screenwriter can be very simple - we just find 30 dogs and the movie is finished.
Deadpool is such a cool person, can you imagine that the way he wants to get his ex-girlfriend back is to attend an interview with a big factory and get a glorious job and salary? This makes people feel frustrated. What is frustrating is not the loneliness of the characters, but the overall lack of imagination in the story, which makes people feel that watching the movie has lost the fun of dreaming.
What we long for is to gain some kind of ancient fable-like enlightenment and encouragement from the story of the hero's growth - just like Iron Man, a playboy who finally longs for the company of his family, but gives up his family and chooses to serve the world. Human self-sacrifice is a parable about the value of life. But in the story of Deadpool, we see such a cool guy who has to humble himself to please the interviewer. There are no fables here, only humble reality, which really makes people unenergized.
This scene is related to Ant-Man, and it is another "visual point" that can last for several minutes. Come on, find 29 more and the movie will be complete.
But I have to say that on a level other than the story, several screenwriters, directors, and producers have had long discussions about what fans like and want to see. The film is full of promotional points that can be shown in slices in the era of short videos, such as "Wolverine vs. Sabretooth Tiger" and "Captain America, the Messenger of Justice, swears in private" are all content that can attract viewers just by looking at the title, and after watching the plot, it is also Unexpectedly, it can make people laugh and fill the air with joy. At the same time, the cool approach of lyrical music and escalation in a large number of battle scenes repeatedly stimulates the adrenaline of movie fans in the same way, although in the end, these battles will appear too similar and visually tiring.
In the final analysis, this film is not suitable for continuous viewing in the cinema, but is suitable for slicing into fifty or even more short videos and streaming them in a short drama style, allowing fans to choose "Are you willing to continue spending money" every three minutes? Money to buy the following plot"? Maybe you can earn more.
The battle scenes are mainly upgrades and fireworks, which shows that the investment in the film is not large and there is not that much money to make 3D.
is all about making money, and the gameplay of short plays has only been around for a year or two. We can completely imagine that in the future, movie theaters will allow viewers to enter for free, but everyone will be asked to vote every three minutes whether they are willing to pay to continue watching. In this way, the audience will not be tired, and the final amount of movie tickets collected by the producers may be even more.
"Deadpool 3" is such a movie. Like it or not, it is an entertainment product created by the times. In the future, we may say that there was a pre-AI entertainment era with information explosion. At that time, people were exposed to an extremely large number of various entertainment fragments for the first time, but they had no way of distinguishing the intrinsic value of each fragment. After AI was put into large-scale use, they realized that AI could copy an unlimited number of similar spam messages. Only then will they discover that what is truly valuable is content that is unique and unimaginable by AI, rather than plots that just any Marvel fan can imagine.
