The Lil’est Orthopedics
“I don’t know anything about saving worlds,” Wade says, “but you do,” as he implores to Wolverine. Once again, the Wolverine we eventually dug into in the Fox movies was hardly a clear-cut heroic figure tasked with saving worlds, so maybe this still isn’t that version of him, but something closer to a more idealized X-Man than we realize.
That moment actually seemingly occurs in a different scene we briefly cut to, where Wade shows Logan the picture of him and his friends at his birthday party—the forest area glimpsed briefly in the last trailer. But it’s played over a shot of a battered and bruised Deadpool and Wolverine (note here that Wade is now carrying golden pistols, which he doesn’t have earlier in the trailer) as they walk heroically through a battle damaged city street. The gag here is in the background: the store named Liefeld’s Just Feet, a reference to Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld’s artistic predilection for avoiding drawing a character’s feet as much as possible.
