    I didn't know there was a director's cut of any Deadpool movie. I knew there was the PG-13 version of Deadpool 2 called "Once Upon a Deadpool" that featured Fred Savage like in *Princess Bride*

    Once Upon a Deadpool cute idea and ultimately reinforced my feelings about the original movie (still good!), but obviously a lesser version of it. it's more focused on parodying the princess bride, which i've never actually seen, so the reference was kinda lost on me

    That was one of the Ant King’s favorite movies when he was younger. I had ripped it from DVD and edited the sound to make a G-rated cut. Now his favorite movie is “Once Upon a Deadpool”. Go figure,

    Don't skip on 'Once Upon a Deadpool.' It's Deadpool 2 retold as a PG-13 movie via a framing device that is a massive value add for anyone who has seen and likes "The Princess Bride." I've heard people say it's not worth it if you've already seen 2, but it's amazing in its own right.

    I wonder if Disney is going to make a second Once Upon a Deadpool based on Deadpool and Wolverine. Seems like a no-brainer given how important the movie is going to be to the MCU. My oldest wants to see it, but after rewatching the first one last night, that’s 100% not happening 😂

    Watching Once Upon a Deadpool is only slightly cheating since I've seen Deadpool 2. However, the Fred Savage element is something I find so genuinely appealing and funny. I was talked out of watching it when it came out because it was supposedly disappointing, but I'm my own man #dailymoviewatch

    He doesn’t have to enter the main timeline. The TVA is still in the MCU, which could be where he goes to fight Doom, alongside Loki. And they could 100% put him in a PG-13 film. Once Upon a Deadpool was the PG-13 version of Deadpool 2 after all

    I've seen all the X-Men movies at the cinema*. Deadpool & Wolverine at the Cineworld last year, New Mutants came out during the pandemic so it does count. The 8 preceding it: First Class to Dark Phoenix I saw at the Movie House (9 if you include Once Upon A Deadpool). (1/3)

    #COBRAdeals-- ONCE UPON A DEADPOOL Blu-ray, $18.5 - amzn.to/3Dna2bg Notable for a couple reasons - for a long time this version of the movie disappeared from both disc and digital. It's STILL absent on digital/streaming which makes me wonder if the Digital Copy is a sly workaround or a non-starter.

    There are quite a few X-Men film universe timelines out there... but I've yet to see one that calls out Deadpool meeting Fred Savage. #Fail #OnceUponADeadpool #XMen #Deadpool

    I have now officially seen three different versions of Deadpool 2. The theatrical, the "Super Duper" cut, and now this one. As far as I'm concerned, each re-release has been worse than the last. I get the use of the framing device, and it was even pretty funny doing the whole Fred Savage/Princess Bride thing, but Deadpool 2 being cut together this way just felt erratic. Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
