This makes me reimagine a Canadian Will Smith storming up to Chris Rock at the Oscars

i reckon it was more reynolds politely saying ‘hey bud keep my name out of your mouth’ than it was ‘making amends’. that’s why miller had to pivot to the ‘actually i didn’t say anything bad’ clickbait angle. 

God this makes so much sense to an otherwise puzzling piece of information.

I was wondering about that as well, then I remembered Reynolds is Canadian

I feel like this is “Ryan Reynolds is a nice Canadian man” and wants to, y’know, be nice. Even when he has absolutely no reason to be, and the person he’s being nice to probably doesn’t deserve it.

If Miller wasn’t upset, one wonders why he would go on a podcast and declare that he wouldn’t do Deadpool 3 even if they doubled his salary.

I read the little sub-headline and thought “huh, this could be interesting” but yeah it does kinda sound like he just took an ad-lib too personally.

I admire him for simply refusing to appear in Deadpool 3 and not throwing his considerable weight around to have Ryan Reynolds fired from the film.

This sounds about right to me as well. 

It’s even less than that. He’s using this tiny anecdote to help backfill (in a positive way for him) the reason why he doesn’t get as much work these days.

now, my takeaway from this nothing story was, the guy who didn’t get invited to prom is all “proms are dumb, only losers go to prom” LOL

So, famously nice guy said an in-character not-actually-that-bad thing to noted dirtbag co-star, then guy who played a character named “weasel” tells noted actual weasel about it on actual weasel’s podcast. Yup, this is clearly an anecdote that should be taken seriously and have any sort of consequences.

Damn, you nailed it!

Yes it seems like Miller didn’t understand he was playing a fictional character and that acting is make believe. But also, Reynolds was absolutely correct. The Weasel character is just there to get some laughs during exposition scenes and they limited his screen time in the first two movies so that he didn’t overstay…

“Unless that orange fella gets back in”

Not to mention - and I’m sure it’s because he still hoped to continue on in the series at this point in time because it was obviously before all of TJ’s crap came out - when he was on Hot Ones, he absolutely raved about Reynolds. Some of it might have been performative because, again, paycheck and promoting the…

Yeah this just comes off as Reynolds riffing as Deadpool and weirdo Miller somehow took it seriously (and beyond, all the way to assuming Reyolds hates him??). Best I can tell Reynolds is quite the smartass but not a complete dick.

Yeah given the fact that even from TJ’s mouth it seems like some off the cuff, in character riffing, and the fact that Miller is notoriously a huge asshole, I’m not thinking there’s much here.

“I’m not going to visit the White House again,” says Putin. “Those guys have been super rude to me. I’m not going to their state dinner no matter how many times they ask.”

Everyone wants to know. They’re not saying.
