Here are 12 things you missed In 'Deadpool 2'

In This Article:

I promise, this is mature Deadpool content.

1. The Dramatic Introduction

That is because the introduction sequence is paying homage to a variety of many highly acclaimed movies while giving it a touch of the classical Deadpool by throwing in the opening credits as names like "Did they just kill her?" and "The real villain" The Iconic scene depicted above is tribute to Flashdance replacing the water with bullets. Another similarity between this movie and another critically acclaimed movie is the introduction to Skyfall.

2. Dickie Greenleaf

That's right, you would have to peel back a few layers of prosthetic makeup and beard but under all of that movie magic is Matt Damon, or as what he likes to go by in this movie, Dickie Greenleaf, who happens to be Damons character in his 1999 film, The Talented Mr Ripley.

3. Olivia and Meredith Swift

After Wade blows himself apart due to the loss of Vanessa, Colossus takes him back to the mansion to rehabilitate Wade and continue coerce him into joining the X-Men. When Wade wakes up from recovering, he is seen wearing the shirt above. This shirt is modeled after another movie Reynolds starred in, The Hunt, while also throwing in some pop icon Easter eggs. The friendly felines featured on the shirt are non other than Taylor Swifts cats Olivia and Meredith.

4. Inmate 24601

Giphy

The troubled teen, Russell, along with Deadpool, is indicted in the mutant prison. While it could just be happenstance, Russell's inmate number is 24601, the same number as Jean Valjean from Les Miserables, played by Hugh Jackman (Wolverine)

5. Vanisher

Blink and you'll miss it. Brad Pitt stars as The Vanisher in Deadpools elite X-Force squad until he is struck by a live electric wire. Once struck, The Vanisher's identity is revealed but at a grizzly, give it hilarious to the story line, cost.

6. Juggernaut is Professor X’s Brother

Giphy

Well, step-brother. For those not in the drama that is the Xavier family, Charles Xavier's father died when he was young and his mother remarried. From that marriage brought Charles a stepbrother, Cain (Juggernaut). Charles' stepfather became abusive and drove his mother towards alcoholism and ultimately her death. Charles would often seep into Cain's mind to find the root of the frustration and anger which only drove the brothers to fight. In the movie Juggernaut is asked why he wears the helmet to which he responds, its for protection against his brother.

7. Bea Arthur

The first Deadpool held many Golden Girls teasers such as Wade's T-Shirt of Bea Arthur. In Deadpool 2 However, the katanas are named Bea and Arthur to pay tribute to the American Actress Beatrice Arthur who starred as Dorothy Zbornak in The Golden Girls.

8. X-Men Origin

Giphy

In the newest Deadpool you may recognize this scene from X-men Origin where the bullet is coming at Deadpool and he quickly is able to slice it in half, deflecting it from hitting him. While in this newest installment things go a little differently, there still is a little humor in the similarity between these two scenes.

9. "Laird, hit it!"

Laird is Ryan Reynolds uncredited costume helper who gets a little screen recognition in this trailer. It is never confirmed who this "Laird" is because they are not someone on the official crew list, but the fact that whoever they are made it into the trailer makes it a great affect. Also in this trailer is the only, in person, Stan Lee cameo. While in the movie he appears in the form of graffiti art, the trailer is the only place Lee actually makes an appearance which is almost a little underwhelming for those waiting for him to pop up.

10. The endless joke about the MCU

There is always a comedic effect in Deadpool where he references the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Throughout Deadpool 2 there are dozens of jokes about MCU such as comparing a cancerous and powerless Deadpool to Hawkeye as well as calling Cable, Thanos as they are both played by the same character, and approaching Juggernaut with the same intent as Black Widow with the "The sun's getting real low" tactic.

11. X-Men

From the very beginning of the movie, there's a slight edge against the X-Men genre with the intro being a wind up music box of Logan stabbed through a tree. Other jabs include noting how Cerebro smells like Patrick Stewart.

12. Credit scenes

In the post credit scenes, with the now fixed time travel device, Deadpool travels back to save Vanessa. But he also decides to save the world from some of Reynolds previous roles. He goes back to X-Men Origin and kills his rendition of Deadpool as well as killing Ryan Reynolds when he was reading the script for Green Lantern.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
