Current Events > Honestly. A lot of MCU movies are funnier than either Deadpool movie

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ant man. Guardians. Thor Ragnarok. To name a few

Pound for pound the jokes are a lot better.
---

I agree with Ant-Man and the Guardians movies, but that's about it, for me.

edit: and Homecoming.
---

Ah yes Homecoming too
---

Deadpool had the best love story.
---

C

While I like the Deadpool movies for the most part, most of the jokes are him calling people something that's a reference to something else.

Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok and Gaurdians are just funny through and through.
---

I like the movies too. Just fun, turn your brain off movies.

But theres only a few moments that it really hits me right in the funny
---

D

most of the jokes rely on call backs
---

I honestly prefer the adult rumor of Deadpool. Right before 2 came out, I was itching for a superhero comedy fix right after watching Deadpool 1 again. So I threw on Guardians 2, then Guardians and then Ant-Man.

It just wasn't the same, despite me loving those movies and the comedy. It's just kid friendly comedy, which is fine.

Deadpool had the best love story.

Both did. Second was way deeper than I expected and his almost death scene was freaking beautiful.

I'm mixed on this, I'd say they're about even. While the stand alone quips are hit or miss "Are you there God, it's me Margaret" and stuff like "Dad?" Are great others are only alright, but then you have scenes like "you should have seen your face" "I didn't know what to do." Which beat out any of the others.

And I actually like GotG more than the first deadpool. Deadpool probably edges things out though for a D from me.

Drax is funnier than anyone in Deadpool, but I can't think of any MCU scene that compares to the helicopter scene in Deadpool 2.

Okay let's not get carried away here, Spiderman was not "funnier" than Deadpool

Is it a better movie? I don't know. I could see people argue either way. But Deadpool is certainly funnier.

Adult humour in Deadpool is kind of generous.

On one hand Its refreshing for a superhero movie to have a hard R rating and use it.

On the other hand. I quickly got my fill of dick jokes. If I was 13, maybe I would find it a lot funnier.

Deadpool definitely has a lot of laugh out loud moments. But most of the time I feel its either riding a line between trying too hard not not trying hard enough.

Shit...did I leave the stove on

That joke is not funny no matter how hard you try. Adding a shit isnt magic comedy glue for this reeeeeally cheap joke.

And theres a lot of that in Deadpool. Lines that make you go thats the best they came up with, huh?

I just think humour in a lot of MCU is better delivered not just because its better written, but you have a lot more invested in the characters and stories. The essence of a good joke is the set up and delivery. Deadpool has a handful of those moments but pale in comparison to a lot of MCU flicks.

That's the thing with the MCU, like Deadpool, once you've seen the quip-equipped funny in a MCU or two, it's all the same and it gets tiring, especially since it's always playing safe.

People that attribute dirty "fucks and dicks" humor to something teenagers like don't see the bigger picture. As you said, it's way more refreshing, as opposed to seeing the same humor you've otherwise seen in Marvel movies since X-Men and Spider-man, and ramped the fuck up when the MCU began.

Also Deadpool's stove on is funny because it's so random and psychotic. Like dude is in the middle of murdering and is just wondering this random ass thing.

Maybe because I wasn't presenting it like it's some carved-in-stone fact. The whole point of C/D topics is to either agree or disagree with the thing that's being presented and elaborate on that (if you want).
It's all very clearly opinions.

Deadpool has a certain style of humor. it's funny but it gets old if it's all you get. I like it in small doses. but I prefer the humor Guardians for larger doses

Yeah. There's no punch to it after a while.The best line in Deadpool 2 for me was:


"I don't know about this Cable guy but I guarantee he hasn't killed as many people as melanoma."

Because it's just a really well written, well delivered line. It's not leaning on the hard R rating and throwing in a cock or fuck into it as magic comedy glue.

Oh, we all know how the joke works. I used that joke when I was like 5 years old. And I'm not saying this to sound edgy, to act like I'm above simple jokes and toilet humour. When it's funny, it's funny.

I'm saying it's literally the cheapest, formulaic, laziest punchline they could have made. I don't throw around the word "cringey" like most people on the internet, but the joke is so bad it registers a small cringe for me.

It's really that bad.

I think Deadpool and MCU movies aren't funny.

The Incredibles is, though
---

I liked the first Deadpool but the novelty definitely wore off in the sequel. Exact same type of humor and structure to the jokes, just didn't do it for me.

But you do sound edgy. So you were killing people and having your car flip over and asking randomly if your stove was on when you were 5? Get out of here.

That's the thing. Nothing in the MCU is any better. Just because they use swear swords doesn't change anything and the fact that you attribute it to kids kind of shows off your own immaturity.

Yes.

The rest of it is irrelevant. Literally everyone in the world has heard of or made this joke at some point in their lives. It's basic shit dude.

You don't have a defense to the fact that they lean on crude humour as being the joke. In place of being well written and funny.

Calling Thanos Squidward in Infinity War was so fucking cringe

It's not irrelevant. The point is that it was funny was because it was at such a random point while people are being ripped apart. Not because of what he said exactly.

SwayM posted...

Defense for what? You're clearly biased and not seeing that the MCU is the same mix, except without swear words. They pull the same crudeness or weirdness and especially cringiness.

Also this whole thing is just opinions. I don't really need a defense to say that they are both good and bad for similar reasons. I saw the entire MCU again recently and as I mentioned above, the swearing and extra dirtiness is definitely refreshing with Deadpool. Even other rated R movies like Blade and Punisher were not able to bring this type of funny. 2 movies versus the same exact shit for like what, 35 movies?

It's not hard to see why people would like the comedy more and it has little do with thinking like a teenager.

The set up is he's in the middle of this ridiculous car crash and action scene and he turns to the camera and says something completely irrelevant

The punchline is "Did I leave the stove on"

https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/497zq3/in_deadpool_why_didnt_they_change_the_did_i_leave/

Call it subjective, but most people think this line is trash and should have been immediately topped with something better in the writers room

Or punched up in the final edit

OR at the very least been just a trailer line that had no business being in the final movie. I honestly was hoping for a different line, having seen the trailer and thought "ooof, hope there's a different take of that in the movie" But when the scene came and went and you could hear a pin drop in the theatre I just kind of shook my head that joke ever made it in.

The bar for humour in these movies is VERY low. And sometimes that works for it, it gets a lot of chuckles out of me. But the really gut busting moments are few and far between, because it's just lazy writing.

People complaining about the use of the same joke from the trailers is not the same as people complaining about the joke itself.

I don't watch trailers anymore because of stuff like this and really, is not what I'm arguing. The trailers are handled by the marketing people, not the writers or director.

And it's the same for the MCU. Full of lazy writing or embarrassing and cringy dialogue. Like that time Hank Pym just has to shoehorn that the Avengers are dealing with Sokovia. Ant-Man is one of my favorite movies out of the bunch, but I can't help but cringe in embarrassment everytime that comes up.

And despite Ragnarok being one of the best MCU movies along with Guardians, it's full of cringe and lazy writing. Like using Immigrant Song twice and ruining the effect. Or Thor just having to swing around twice while he's chained up.

You're just not seeing the equal stuff in the MCU.

This isn't about the trailers spoiling a bad joke. It's about a bad joke getting used at all.

Did you really think I would read 300 comments? Most of the top comments are a combination of explaining things about trailers, saying who cares, saying they thought it was both funny or garbage or how the audience did get a laugh but that person didn't. You're trying to cherrypick shit at this point.

Besides, a Reddit thread is not proof of something.

Yes, and that's your subjective problem. Don't act like even a hundred comments on Reddit means anything.

And I'm saying you are wrong and not seeing all the bad of the MCU. It's pound for pound funnier to YOU, but let's not pretend that's the majority opinion or something. In fact, I'm pretty sure more people hate how jokey jokey the MCU has become and how it leaked into The Last Jedi.

When it's comment after comment of people saying how much they hated the joke. You kind of get the idea pretty quickly. If you bothered to even glance at the thread.

Hundreds of people saying the same thing often trumps one person without a leg to stand on.

Become? As in, since it started with that jokeless Iron Man movie and that Hack RDJ who couldn't make a high clown giggle?

Come on dude. You're floundering.

DoctorVader posted...

and how it leaked into The Last Jedi

Floundering so bad that this is what you come down to? Head so far up your ass you think the jokes in the MCU have carried over to literally the darkest Star Wars movie to date.

A franchise ran by people who FIRED THE GUYS WHO MADE 21 JUMP STREET BECAUSE THEY WERE MAKING HAN SOLO TOO JOKEY

This is such an awful argument because not only is it so irrelevant to our conversation, it's so off base to the reality of that movie and franchise.

Deadpool 2 was even able to handle serious moments way better than anything the MCU has done recently.

Speaking of serious moments. It was at this moment, I lost all ability to take you seriously.

Come on dude. You're floundering.

How much money something makes has no bearing on valid criticisms. And no, starting with the Avengers 2 and the Guardians, they heavily increased the quipping.

I can find hundreds of people on Reddit agreeing with this if you want to play it that way. It's definitely a common complaint.

Dude, you sound like opinions are triggering you and you're starting to come off as a child with no respect for others opinions.

Yes, a major complaint about TLJ right off the first scene is that it has way too much MCU type humor. I can provide hundreds of comments from Reddit threads too.

Again, you're acting incredibly childish over this and have taken this way too seriously.

This is all fucking subjective and you're literally sitting here trying to make it otherwise. Instead of going "yeah, I guess we have different tastes", you're sitting here instead insulting me over it.

Get back to me when you've dealt with your kiddie emotions, learned how statistics works, and learned what opinions are and how to respect them without losing control and coming off as a Looney Tune.
