So I was with some friends my age in a hotel room (none of them I knew IRL all made up by my brain), two of them are siblings who are hyper fixated on looney tunes and they pick the movie, and they pick the reboot of a hannah-barbera cartoon that was based on a game about pac-man's mother. Pac-Man's mother in the game has to collect flowers around her shop and give them to the customer before they leave (like if in pac-man you had to get the pellets and then the ghosts, and do it on a time limit). The cartoon had terrible voice acting which the reboot movie referenced, but the story was surprisingly faithful at first with Pac-man's mother struggling to keep her business open to support her son, although now she works in Grand Central Station, I have no clue how. So yes it's mostly faithful...then Deadpool and Wolverine were introduced to the plot as the main characters despite the fact they have no relevance to pac-man or his mom and also don't even have like a conflict or anything to deal with?? Deadpool at one point gets annoyed for no reason so he stabs a random person in the shoulder and asks Wolverine "nobody saw that right?" and wolverine says "everyone saw that" and Storm walking with them says "everyone saw that" and Nick Fury through an earpiece says "everyone saw that". Then Deadpool got angry and threw a copper dagger he apparently has, super far and it lands in a copper statue of Captain America's shield, which apparently is from Fortnite according to other people I was in the theater with (yes I know it was a hotel room with a limited amount of friends earlier, not sure why it changed). Then they reference a few of my other non-pop-culture dreams which is very MCU of them to do, then Deadpool walks outside of the grand central station and says something relatively normal, to which a caricature of a leftist yells uncontrollably at. I left the theater at intermission and was confronted by a man who seemingly was gaining feedback on the movie for Marvel, and I told him I was sad that Deadpool already used two of his iconic daggers and he has only one left for the rest of the film.
I always kinda thought it was an odd argument to begin with? While I suppose I can sort of see the logic, the "bad box art canon" (or whatever it might be called) is clearly very seperate from the Classic canon (it probably couldn't be more seperate, thank god), and the characters are clearly very different in that world in line with that change. It's not as though the characters are one and the same, after all; rather, BBA!Roll takes inspiration from Classic!Roll in concept, but goes in a different direction.
It seems like a weird angle to take the argument with that in mind; especially when there's probably a way better argument that Roll being sexualised almost entirely for comedic purposes (to contrast with Mega Man himself being designed to be deliberately "ugly") feels a bit iffy on its own. (But that's another kettle of fish.)
That said, I honestly hadn't heard anything about the Reploid Revo stuff before seeing this but I looked into it and... huh. I guess that explains why I haven't seen their channel around as of recent. Kinda sucks to see that things went the way they did. (I just hope everyone involved is okay, though I don't know any specifics.)
