"Once Upon A Deadpool" is a unique version of the film "Deadpool 2" released in 2018. It serves as a holiday-themed re-release of the original film, with some notable changes to make it more family-friendly.
The story follows the foul-mouthed and irreverent superhero Deadpool, played by Ryan Reynolds. In this version, Deadpool kidnaps Fred Savage and tells him a censored version of the story, akin to the framing device used in "The Princess Bride." The film incorporates new footage of Deadpool and Fred Savage's interactions, as well as edited scenes from the original movie.
The intention behind "Once Upon A Deadpool" was to create a version of "Deadpool 2" that could be enjoyed by a wider audience, particularly younger viewers who couldn't watch the R-rated original. As a result, the language and violence are toned down, making it a PG-13 film. However, the film still retains much of the humor and self-awareness that made the original "Deadpool 2" popular.
While "Once Upon A Deadpool" may not offer a completely new experience for those who have seen the original film, it provides an opportunity for fans to enjoy the story in a different context. The addition of Fred Savage and the comedic banter between him and Deadpool add an extra layer of entertainment.
Overall, "Once Upon A Deadpool" is an interesting experiment that attempts to broaden the appeal of "Deadpool 2" by creating a more family-friendly version. While it may not have the same impact as the original R-rated film, it still offers an entertaining and humorous take on the superhero genre.
