Gettin' Wet on Wet with Deadpool 2 (2017 Video)

Okay idea, but not much beyond that

[4/10 · 4 December 2017]

"Gettin' Wet on Wet with Deadpool 2" is an American live action short film that got released on Youtube less than a month ago and racked up millions and millions of views. It runs for slightly over 2 minutes and is basically an appetizer for the next upcoming Deadpool stuff, which will surely be a lot. It seems to be one of these superhero franchises where comedy trumps all, mostly story-telling sadly, but maybe I am wrong as I have not yet seen the first Deadpool film starring Ryan Reynolds. Anyway, this one here does not get me curious either. The idea to have Deadpool posing there as a Bob Ross lookalike in costume was pretty hilarious, but almost everything he does or says is not even remotely funny. It's more on the try-hard side shoving one "funny" line after the next into our faces, but sometimes less can be more. Quantity over quality. It's probably also essential to know Ross in order to appreciate this one and I can only say here in Germany not too many do, so if you have no idea who he is, then skip it and if you do, then skip it too perhaps as after the initial entertainment factor from the costume has vanished, there is really nothing to it. As disappointing as the previous Deadpool promotion short named "No Good Deed" (I guess that explains the 2?). Watch something else instead.
