Well, there will be no living with @vancityreynolds now.

At least, not if you’re one of the suits at Disney. “Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s superhero film Deadpool & Wolverine has crossed a major milestone at the global box office as it surpassed $1 billion on Sunday.” Disney-Marvel rather needs some numbers on the board right now, so the successes of both DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE and INSIDE OUT 2 are going to have even more influence on future projects than even their billion dollar grosses might suggest.

Also, I have every confidence in Reynolds being a 100% certified Grade-A PitA about it, with all of it focused like a parabolic mirror on a group of people who I don’t actually like very much. I know parasociality is the pernicious drug of this age, but surely a little vicarious schadenfreude won’t hurt. Even if it does hurt, it’ll barely be a sting. More like a pinch than anything else. I can take it.

One thought on “Well, there will be no living with @vancityreynolds now.”

  1. Mr Reynolds is also very dependable about helping his friends, always has been. That’s a Hugh-j part of why the actor who gave him one of his first big breaks is a co-star in his third Marvel picture. The two gents legitimately seem to get along and want to work with each other.
