Deadpool, Gutters and Liefeld...

[selke]

I know that the Gutters is very touch and go on whether or not it's funny. But reading today's I actually got a chuckle out of it.

Also, seriously? A Deadpool video game? This could go either way.

Oh, 'cause Liefeld can't draw feet. That's clever. So...so clever...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Okay, so only now did I get that.

The trailer is far, far better than that comic is.

It's still obnoxious, though it IS a Deadpool game.

I wasn't even aware that there was going to be a game until I saw this.

Saw the trailer on Saturday and it looks awesome.

Ha! :XD
When will they loose the silly double narration thingie?
It was only used by Way to begin with, because his series is just a bunch of silly tie-in crossovers to whatever event is going on, with lots of poop jokes and virtually 0 background character to either develop Deadpool or have him interact with...

I remember only one issue (a DP Team Up?) where they were able to make sense and use well these double narration, where one voice (yellow box) was DP's inner thoughts and the other (typewriter font) was the writer.

I actually like it. The way that it serves no narrative purpose actually kind of helps to sell Deadpool's increasingly-insane character. They've done some really funny things with it in the past too, like when Hawkeye/Bullseye scrambles one and he panics. It's just funny to me.

What was not funny to me, was the trailer. To be terribly honest, it scared me a little bit because it reminds me a lot of Duke Nukem Forever. That game didn't bomb because the gameplay was bad, it bombed because that kind of humor just isn't funny anymore. Deadpool, and it almost kills me to say this, is a little classier than that. Yeah, he's crude a lot, and some of the scenes (like the exploding bathroom) are well within his character, it seems like they're focusing on those bits and not the random ones. There was only a single reference to chimichangas in the whole trailer, and at least three to boobs.

That doesn't seem very Deadpool to me.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaan, there's a lot of reasons why Duke Nukem Forever bombed.

Idk, the trailer was fun, despite the very standard military-flavoured enemies. Also Nolan North was in it, so yeah, fun.

Gutters, on the other hand, is terrible. Always.
