I also think the premise is just not supported. I can think of little in the trailers that reminded me of Deadpool.

Lol I didn't even click the link.
I think this is good advice in general. It’s very easy for people to jump to conclusions and make assumptions about stuff without the body of evidence to make those thoughts rational and grounded in reality.I seem to recall doing some handwringing over early criticism over GB:Afterlife and being subsequently told to chill out.
Mayhap that applies here?
There's also that live action One Piece that Netflix for some reason decided was feasible to do. At the very least the recently announced cast all seem well-picked, of course there was some whining from that corner of the net about how Nami's chest isn't big enough.
But still. One Piece. Live action. How could this not be a train wreck?
Really curious how many professional media critics who reviewed this aren't familiar with the original show.At this point there are a lot of early takes from respectable media outlets releasing on the internet and the ones I've seen have been pretty luke warm at best. My hype level is waaaaaay down at this point.
I... don't hate it? But it's pretty close to my "cringe" threshold.Is... is this fake?
Like, I know Ed would be hard to translate into live action but yeow.
That's actually a pretty faithful adaptation of Ed. It's just, you know, not a good fit for live action. This is always the problem with adapting cartoons to live action and following the script too closely. It's like a reverse uncanny valley, where wild crazy shit you just roll with in a cartoon, just looks wrong and fake with real people doing it to the degree that your suspension of disbelief gets shattered into a million pieces.
Also whoever is directing this scene, woof.
