Dead Pool 2 - Alive & Kicking - Again & Again!

When Ryan Reynolds took a dig, pun intended, at Wolverine in the nascent stages of the sequel, you know that you are in for a treat considering the fact that the teasers and trailers were excellent foreplays.

Was it orgasmic? 

Yeewwwwwww.

So crude and earthy is your language. 

If you didn't get this train of thought after reading foreplay and orgasmic, Voila! - You are one of the ideal material to have seen Dead Pool (DP) as it necessitates no further explanation that I'm maintaining the spirit of the movie with those words' usage.

Did I just elaborate why I did it when I had categorically stated that I wouldn't?

Hmmmmm.

Maybe, DP's wicked humor also strongly latched onto me like Vethalam to Vikramadityan!

But, if you did feel that my word application is gross and sexually explicit, you should definitely need to have some neural fine-tuning to watch this kind of a movie. 

Take for example.

Cable marks his arrival from the future and gets into a car/van. For all those lynx-eyed who are always on the lookout for the unmissable bawdy hilariousness for which the DP series is well-known, you don't get disappointed by the scriptwriters.

You see a pair of metallic circles tied to the bottom of the car/van that resembles the testicles and it dangles sideways as the car/van progresses forwards.

The teaser and trailer gave us (read: me) enough chuckles but the movie was sated with minute-a-big-laughter moments with either self-deprecating jokes or referential mocks and taunts or innuendos that were, at times, bordering on risque and in some places, they hit you in the face like a person missing their frisbee.

Basically, DP continued with where they left in the previous outing.

Only this time, it was even better.

The makers were secretive enough to not let Juggernaut anywhere near the trailers but emphasized on the battle between DP and Cable that it was a bolt out of the blue when Cable and DP joined forces along with the X-Force to take down the common enemy.

The story can't be simply put forth like this as it has a level of intricacy tied to Cable and the plumpy boy, DP and the Plumpy Boy, Cable and DP, DP and his Girlfriend, Plumpy Boy and Juggernaut and finally, DP and X-Men.

Oh Yes.

The most important thing connection - Audience and DP. He he he he he..

 So, it can't be simply said that Cable and DP fought against a common enemy.

It becomes blasphemous and irreverent when the screenplay is stripped down to its core in such a manner.

Just like how Wade Wilson turned into a child and exposed himself when he was in the blind lady's home.

Every character had a role to play. 

Even Vanisher. Rofffllllllllllllllllllllllll. Brad Pitt. A pleasant surprising cameo.

Just felt that Dopinder and the Hi-saying girl in the X-Men Team could have had more interaction with the story rather than the bit lengthy climax where Cable used time travel to save DP.

Cable sacrificed his love (for his daughter and wife) knowing very well that he cannot see them again for DP without any expectation.

But, does that mean he will not live with them in his memories for the rest of his life?

Of course, he will.

His sacrifice just means that he did a selfless act, having no strings attached, so that DP can rise and shine again.

Cable cannot and will not forget his wife and, mainly, his daughter but he will continue to live his life with them in his heart and soul along with his newfound family in the present timeline.

Love.

Not the dumb and idiotic things they show in romantic novels and movies.

Hey...don't get me wrong.

I am not against romance or love but I am only against those who unequivocally and axiomatically equate candlelight dinners and ritzy spas as love when, in reality, they are just add-ons and enhancers which spice up a romantic life.

Consider this - A doesn't care and love B but mechnically gives exotic gifts and extravagant moments - Is it love?

IMHO, it's not.

A family is when both A & B share and care for each other not only in good times but also in troubled times and in doldrums.

If A doesn't reciprocate B's share of share and care, then it's mere foolish one-way traffic.

As defined by the agenda in the beginning phase of the movie, DP has got a loving family in the former case by the conclusion of this fun, funny, witty and exciting sequel.

Let's just hope that DP 3 antes up the bar further by incorporating newer elements to give us yet another rollicking boffo of a movie.

PS:

If the Disney acquires the rights of DP, X-Men and Fantastic Four, it would really be a FOXy deal as the MCU planners will have several options for umpteen number of cross-overs for the next 30 years.

Already, they have their gimlet-eyes set till 2028.

PS 2:

My personal favo is when DP travels back in time and shoots himself while reading the Green Lantern script.

Ulti. Mate.

PS 3:

So, was it orgasmic?

Oooohhhh. Ahhhhhh.
