just bc it could work doesn’t mean it should have to. when disney bought fox, they knew what they were getting. deadpool is a franchise with two r rated predecessors and disney trying to keep their family friendly image while owning it is a big example of “maybe you shouldn’t have bought it”. not to mention the fact that we already would have had deadpool 3 bc 21st century (as a smaller movie house) considered it a priority. for disney, it’s just another notch on the bed post

ok while I’m here (and by no circumstance am I saying xmcu deadpool was perfect nor was 21st century) BUT

-deadpool flirted with men and women on screen

-negasonic teenage warhead (main character in both films) was a canon lesbian with a girlfriend

-a maori teen was cast as a villain that was white in the comics then given a redemption arc/mentioned the emotional trauma of the foster system

-deadpool shot a p*dophile

-josh brolin had a lil crush on ryan reynolds and I know in my heart 100% would have kissed him on camera

-domino was a superhero with vitiligo

if disney won’t even honor the precedent set by TWO r rated films prior to #3 well.........I don’t think that’s a good sign

If it helps, Ryan Reynolds is just as pissed as we are and the pg-13 Disney approved version probably would have been filmed by now if it weren't for him raising absolute hell and refusing to cooperate.

Keep on delaying the movie, king. We'll wait.

if disney doesn’t allow deadpool 3 to be rated r, ryan reynolds should drop out and start a new independent project called “not alive pool”. idk it seems like what not alive pool would want rather than be suffocated by the corporate mouse
