re: First Image of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool

if you think Green Lantern was exclusively his fault....I dunno what to tell you. sometimes people can only rise to the level of the material presented.some rise above, but the majority that don't, its cause the source material for them to work with is shite.

Reynolds has already ruined one comic book franchise. Who greenlighted this?

This movie has been clamored for ever since it was learned that was to play Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins. It was clamored for all the more after they completely shite all over Deadpool in that movie and then even more so after Reynolds basically came out and said, "I wanted to kill someone for what they did to Deadpool."

He and the director are massively invested in this movie. This is their child. They have been trying to get it made for years. After the test footage "leaked" and went viral, it was all but solidified that a Deadpool movie was going to be made and that there was a real audience for it. Moreover, it was clear that Reynolds was made for this role (or at least appears to be).

The only way this movie gets fricked up is if the same thing happens in Deadpool as what happened in Green Lantern: the studio gets too involved and overproduces, overwrites, and basically attempts to further tank Reynolds' career. At the very least, it will not be the fault of Reynolds.
