"... you don't die, do you?" "Nope." "Hurm."

I've never really been a fan of the "I'm a Marvel... and I'm a DC" parody videos (of the Mac/PC ads, natch). Oh, I've found them amusing enough, but rarely anything more than that.

That said... this? I am dying from how awesome this is:



If you don't know Deadpool, let me just say that this is in no way an exaggeration of the actual character. Wade Wilson is like if Freakazoid was put into the Weapon X program. And I, for one, would pay good money to see a Wade/Walter sitcom.

I just wish there was more Comedian. I think he and Wade would have a good rapport. Not to mention how he'd interact with Adrian.

I think this is the voice I'll hear whenever I read Wade, until/unless they do the DEADPOOL spin-off film with Ryan Reynolds, and really let him cut loose. Because say what you want about Ryan, he has to potential to be a PERFECT Deadpool if they do it right.

I hear he's actually one of the few bright spots in WOLVERINE in the beginning, what little he's in it. I dunno if I'm gonna see it, because wow, the reactions have been like an utter trainwreck. At least with X-MEN 3, we saw the trainwreck coming!

One critic wished, after seeing the opening sequence with Logan/Victor over the wars, that the movie had actually been like an immortal mutant version of THE DUELISTS, with them meeting to battle for years and years until they've forgotten why. Shit, I'd buy that for a dollar!

Love the fact that the screaming woman clip around the 2 min mark is from House on Haunted Hill. (If I'm not mistaken.) (And, crap, I almost recognize the one at 4:43, too.)

Love Freakazoid... even though I never watched it regularly. (Timing was all wrong.)

Both seasons are on DVD, and I wholeheartedly recommend a rental. I need to buy 'em myself. Everyone remembers and loves ANIMANIACS and PINKY AND THE BRIAN, and while I liked 'em all right, give me FREAKAZOID any day of the week. It's the weirdo, boiled-down-to-crack version of those shows.
