Grim 'N' Gritty Is Out, Glib 'N' Smarmy Is In: 'Deadpool 2'
Ryan Reynolds once again assays the role of a deadly mercenary who makes many references to various pop culture properties while disemboweling folk a lot. No fourth wall is safe.
Deadpool 2, like the 2016 film to which it is a sequel, stars Ryan Reynolds as a violent super-mercenary with the the ability to heal himself from any injury. In both films, Reynolds unleashes a logorrheic verbal torrent of meta-references to other movies — so many, so unceasingly, that their net effect is to hammer the fourth wall into a powdery dust.
"This thing you are looking at right now" he essentially says, often, "is like this thing you have looked at in the past, when you were watching . Nutty, right?"
