You just have been Deadpoonized


Only Deadpool should be Deadpool and only Marvel should be Marvel what other company dont see to understand is the responsability they have to find they own voice and style just imagine a world where every movie is more or less the same and that is the world producers think fans wants

Literally From the beginning (with the dark scene in black and white more foccus in horror and the voice in off with that sarcastic funny tone Deadpool style that didn't match at all with we are watching) was painfully obvious this was a movie without any idea of what want to be, the mix of acceptable acting and cringeworthy performance delivered from the same actors sometimes in the same scene make obviuos behind camera and taking dessicion wasent always the same person with a clear vision of what he want but instead a group of people with conflictives ideas of how things should be done

I personally enjoy some parts mostly the final half but i totally understand people who hate the movie and i see the reasons and beyond the lack of pace, the painfully bad delivery of comedic, the large parts of the movie that don't have any porpusse in the plot, the reason of the failure of this movie is the epidemic fear in Hollywood of be original, of create something out of the shadow of Marvel when in reality should be the other way around the only thing Hollywood studios should be fear of is be like Marvel we don't need and don't want another Marvel we need a DC movie be a DC Movie we need a Hellboy be a Hellboy with they own style and tone

And that lack of originallity is one of the main reason box office have been dropping years after years, being another big reason the push of political agendas trough movies that should be entertaining and not used as vehicules of mass adoctrination but that is another subject entirely

I dont think the director is to blame in this the Descent is one of mi favorite horror movies and this is a director that have already prove himself talented i think he was more that cappable of make a good Hellboy movie without Deadponized the story and do believe this is more a producers fault we already have see this happenning over and over talented director with a material that is just perfect for them but somehow the deliver is a total wreck, a exemple could be David Ayer with Suicide Squad

Until the day producers understand people don't want see the same movie over and over again viewers will migrate to another alternatives like tv shows, streaming services, videogames and others, and they can blame toxic fandom and piracy but the lack of interest from people in go to theaters is no one fault but theirs

Part of the key to succes in storytelling be through novel, comics, or cinema or any other media is being willing to take risk and make something original and different even went that risk implied the possibility of failure, Dont take that risk will be the garantied of failure. More or less the majority of medias mentioned understand this but somehow Hollywood is reluctant to learn the lesson

Almost every F bomb in this movie landed like it was quipped by a 12 year old on a school bus. Embarrassing.
