You how when Jim Carry did Man on the Moon and he became Andy Kaufman, and he never returned to normal since?

 

I think that's what happened to Ryan Reynolds. He never stopped being Deadpool.

Counterpoint: what if he was always Deadpool?

[Mercury33]

Yeah Ryan Reynolds playing Deadpool is almost no different than Ryan Reynolds in any other role. He’s been playing the same kind of character since 2 Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place. 

[Keyser_Soze]

Better than if he was always Green Lantern.

For the most part, yes, but he has given some fantastic dramatic performances in underrated films as well, like: Smokin' Aces, Buried, Woman in Gold, Mississippi Grind, The Voices, Adventureland, Chaos Theory, Safe House, Definitely Maybe, and others (Fireflies in the Garden, The Nines, . . . ). I've been a fan of Reynolds for a long time now and don't understand why people keep saying all he does is play himself/Deadpool when in the aforementioned films he's often nothing like himself or Deadpool. 

 

And since Deadpool he's done the films Criminal, Life, The Hitman's Bodyguard, and Deadpool 2 and only in 2 of those 4 is he playing himself/Deadpool (obviously, one is the Deadpool sequel). So I'm not sure we can even say all he's doing is playing himself/Deadpool since beginning to play Deadpool either.

You're obviously not counting all the commercials he's been doing, as himself/Deadpool.

[Keyser_Soze]

You're obviously not counting that he IS Deadpool.

[Emblazon]

Don't forget The Nines.

Green Lantern was the worst movie I've ever seen and I will never forgive Ryan Reynolds.

Well, uh, yeah. I presumed most of the comments about him always playing himself/Deadpool were aimed at his films.

Green Lantern isn't that bad.

Really? Because we're in a thread about a commercial he did.

You referenced a Jim Carrey film, so I figured we were talking about Ryan Reynold's body of film work. If you meant commercials, then that's fair. 

[Mercury33]

Just speaking in generalities about it. Didn’t mean for the comment to be taken literally. I’d say if you said Ryan Reynolds name, before he ever did Deadpool, the large majority of people would associate him with that kind Jim Carrey lite/deadpool-esque character. Even though he had done other work it’s not what he’s known for. 

 

Same thing with Jim Carrey. You say his name people think more of The Mask/Ace Ventura and less of dramatic Jim Carrey.

While I'd agree that's how people would think of Ryan Reynolds, they'd be wrong is my point to think that way about him. But I agree that's our understanding of him, his brand, in the mainstream.

I'm totally shocked at how much Hugh Jackman has shrunk.

Well when you no longer need to be beefed up to play Wolverine I guess that'll happen. He still looks to be in great shape.

 

That was also a funny bit with them.

Yeah his wolverine cameo in Endgame is going to look weird.

God bless his marketing. To whom that don’t know her face. She is the wife from the Peloton commercial that is getting so much flack

[Anathema-]

The commercials make me really want to try this gin so argue at the margins all you want I'd call it a good campaign.

I just don't understand the problem with the Peloton commercial. 

[SoberChef]

New idea, have Ryan holding Jessica Biel's hand as she tries her first Aviation Gin Martini, that'll be gold!

Why Jessica Biel? 

[SoberChef]

Well they worked together on Blade Trinity plus there's that whole Justin Timberlake held hands with some chick thing recently, so the meta take would just be hysterical to me!

Tara Reid needs work, do a commercial back at Coolidge College

Depends on what context you assume is happening in the commercial. I assumed someone getting an exercise bike for their spouse would only do it if clearly asked but I can understand why other's life experiences would mean their assumption is a judgy, controlling husband.
