History Trivia / Deadpool2016

* CreatorBacklash: Tim Miller admits that he agrees with the critics that the villain is the weakest part of the film.

* CreatorKiller: An extremely rare case of a ''successful'' film causing this, and in fact, the film's success actually ''caused'' this for former Fox executive Tom Rothman. Because of his dislike for the character, Tom had tried for years to kill any chance of a ''Deadpool'' film happening, even having his mouth sewn shut in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine''. He also made many attempts to "improve" other films that wound up not being well-recieved by fans, and greenlit ''Film/FantasticFour2015'', which was a BoxOfficeBomb. The success of the film he tried to prevent from being made was considered the final nail innthe coffin for his credibility.

* ReCut: ''Deadpool 2'' actually received ''two'': The first one being ''The Super Duper Cut'', which was the version released on home video, which adds an additional 15 minutes of footage originally cut from the ''Theatrical Cut'', as well as switched out some of the scenes with alternate takes. The second one was ''Once Upon a Deadpool'', which was produced once Disney has acquired 20th Century Fox and censored a lot of the scenes to reduce the rating to a much more palatable PG-13, just so Disney could market to the teenage demographic.

* DoingItForTheArt: Everybody involved has had a hand in getting this film off the ground, from star Creator/RyanReynolds both taking a pay cut and campaigning ''[[JustForFun/OneOfUs hard]]'' for the role of Wade Wilson, to the producers working with a meager (by Hollywood standards) $65 million working budget -- to put things in perspective, that's only a little more than a third of the budget for ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. The use of fairly obscure characters with more practical superpowers, aside from Colossus, in the supporting cast was also utilized to squeeze the most out of the budget. Right as filming was about to begin, Fox told the filmmakers they would need to [[http://io9.gizmodo.com/the-makers-of-deadpool-had-to-slash-7-million-from-the-1758147495 slash another $7 million]] from their budget (thus the final amount became $58 million), so characters were combined and a couple of major action scenes were cut.

** Inverted: Not only is Creator/RyanReynolds the lead actor, but he convinced Fox to letting him be a producer to prevent anyone from changing the film (outside of necessary changes due to the small budget) and making sure that his character stayed true to the comics.
** Later played straight when Fox slashed the budget by $7 million, forcing the crew to make numerous cuts to the original script. However, later subverted when the crew admitted that the budget cuts were actually beneficial to them, as it forced them to cut a bunch of extraneous characters and scenes that could have otherwise bogged down the film's pacing. It also led to a well-received series of jokes;

--->'''Deadpool:''' It's a big house. It's weird I only ever see two of you. [[LampshadeHanging Almost like the studio couldn't afford another X-Man.]]

--->'''Deadpool:''' Well, we don't have that kind of money.

* OneOfUs: To put it into perspective, Ryan Reynolds had been lobbying for Fox to make a ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'' movie ever since ''at least'' [[http://www.ign.com/articles/2005/03/21/the-latest-on-the-flash-deadpool 2005]],[[note]]For comparison's sake, this was a good three years before Deadpool's character [[WolverinePublicity really broke out.]][[/note]] even going so far to accept, at the time, a bit role in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' just to play him. His wish was finally granted in 2014, when Fox greenlit the movie and cast him as the Merc with a Mouth.

* RealLife/MeanCharacterNiceActor:
** In the HilariousOuttakes, the last line before Ajax leaves Wade to be tortured until his mutant power activates was [[{{Improv}} some variation of the line]] "You're gonna leave me here all alone with [snarky nickname for Creator/GinaCarano's character]?" When Reynolds uses the line used in the actual movie "You're gonna leave me here all alone with less angry Rosie O'Donnell?" After the bit where she punches him in the face, Reynolds is silent for a beat before breaking character, snickering, looking off screen and apologizing to Gina for the line. (she still replies with "Motherfucker")
** Watch any of the interviews with Ed Skrein, and it will become immediately obvious that he is the polar opposite of the monstrous Ajax in just about every way.

* DawsonCasting: A fairly rare aversion; as Brianna Hildebrand didn't turn 20 until a few months after the film premiered, there was no lie in her playing a character with "Teenage" in its name.

* ActorAllusion:
** While being experimented on, Wade begs the scientists working on him not to give him a [[Film/GreenLantern green, animated costume]]. Speaking of, this is the second time Ryan Reynolds plays a comic-book character whose love interest in the movie [[spoiler: gains super powers and becomes his enemy in the comics. She eventually gets better but they are no longer lovers]].
** When [[Main/ItMakesSenseInContext he describes fondling Wolverine's balls]], Deadpool briefly assumes an Australian accent. [[DontExplainTheJoke Hugh Jackman is from Australia.]]
** When Colossus mentions Professor X, Deadpool asks if he's referring to Creator/PatrickStewart or Creator/JamesMcAvoy.
** Angel Dust, played by former mixed martial artist Creator/GinaCarano, slaps a triangle armbar on Colossus during their fight.
** In the Latin American Spanish dub:
*** Wade/Deadpool does many references to ''Anime/{{Voltron}}'', as his Latin American VA Creator/JoseAntonioMacias voiced Lance in the dub of ''WesternAnimation/VoltronTheThirdDimension''.
*** Wade originally attempting to go by "Captain Deadpool" gets turned into this in the dub, as Macías also voices Creator/ChrisEvans as ComicBook/CaptainAmerica in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: The studio was not convinced that an R rated superhero movie could succeed, anymore. They dragged their feet for years before greenlighting the film, and then cut the budget before the film was finished. Of course the success of this film caused the studio to be more generous with the sequel.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Budget issues are the reason why there were only two X-Men, as well as why Deadpool kept forgetting his guns and was forced to go hand-to-hand. Naturally, Deadpool can't resist getting in a potshot about the first one.
* ShownTheirWork: Brianna Hildebrand did a rock playlist to get into Negasonic Teenage Warhead's frame of mind. Music/MonsterMagnet [[https://twitter.com/briannahilde/status/699696145379897344/photo/1 is featured prominently, of course.]]

*** Wade/Deadpool does many references to ''Anime/{{Voltron}}'', as his Mexican VA Creator/JoseAntonioMacias voiced Lance in the dub of ''WesternAnimation/VoltronTheThirdDimension''.

* BannedInChina: Subverted. It was initially denied a theatrical release for excessive violence, plus some sexual content. However, it will [[https://variety.com/2018/film/asia/deadpool-china-premiere-at-beijing-festival-1202729650/#article-comments premiere in that country as part of the Beijing International Film Festival in April 2018]].

* NoExportForYou: The film won't be released in China due to its graphic violence.

* AwesomeDearBoy: To say Ryan Reynolds wanted this movie mainly for the sake of Deadpool, to the point of taking a pay cut, incessantly spearheading the campaign to get the movie made, and ''stealing a Deadpool costume from the set'' after the film's completion, would be somewhat of an understatement.

** Inverted: Not only is Creator/RyanReynolds the lead actor, but he pestered Fox into letting him be a producer to prevent anyone from changing the film (outside of necessary changes due to the small budget) and making sure that his character stayed true to the comics.
