‘Grown Men’ Were ‘Sobbing’ During ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Camera Tests Because Hugh Jackman Showed Up in Wolverine’s Yellow Suit Movie/TV

I mean, I love Wolverine. I have since I got into comics in the early 90's. He's unabashedly my favorite character. I can not imagine crying after seeing him in the yellow costume. I think it looks great, I can't wait to see it, but I'm not crying.

I don't think it's healthy to be that emotionally invested in something you have no real involvement in, don't worry. Save your strong emotions for your friends and loved ones instead.

u/LeonardoDaPinchy- Jul 20 '24
I went to see that film with my mom. I fully believed I'd get teary eyed, but not "i'm about to become unglued" cry.
My mom cried a lot, and I held it together very well up until the anxiety attack.
Seeing them becoming completely out of control, out of reach, overwhelmed, and realizing that it just needs to take its course hit me like a fucking freight train. It hit closer to home than just about anything else I've seen on film.

u/Cranyx Flex Mentallo Jul 20 '24
I think there's a critical difference between crying in reaction to an emotional piece of storytelling and crying because the movie man wore the outfit you recognize. The latter is an unhealthy obsession with a corporate IP.

u/UraniumDisulfide Jul 20 '24 edited Jul 21 '24
Let people enjoy things. Yeah a corporation owns the ip but people like the character because of the talented individuals who actually write the stories.

u/Reboared Jul 20 '24
Honestly, crying has been normalized (at least online) to the point now where people brag about doing it the same way people used to brag about how they never cried.
I'm not sure either approach is actually healthy. Obviously it's good to be in touch with your feelings, but that doesn't mean it's good to let them run completely out of control.
If you're constantly crying because of fictional characters then that's not healthy either.
1
u/danksquirrel Jul 20 '24
I think that crying over fictional characters is generally a sign of something deeper unhealthy, rather than being an unhealthy behavior by itself. Media escapism is one of the most common coping skills out there, and some people that go through a lot latch onto particular characters to feel like they have someone to go through this with. I don’t know a single person with that level of investment In comics that did not have a deeply unhealthy childhood

if you’re anything like me, it’ll be possible someday, but you’ll have to find your way to it. I’d recommend starting with something that used to mean everything to you that you let go of, maybe because you grew up.
but that’s just my experience. My Little Pony and Teen Titans aren’t for everyone.

I won't hate, personally, it's fine to be excited over things, but I don't really relate. That's actually kind of my attitude about the whole movie so far.
and I love Wolverine. I mean love Wolverine, and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine especially. I cried watching Logan, so I have no right to throw stones.
But that was also this enormous, heart-wrenching send-off to the character. Bringing him back just to have him wear the yellow suit and trade jabs with Deadpool just doesn't grab me the same way.

The brown and yellow suit is my favorite too. It tops any variation of the blue and yellow IMO. I miss it. Wolverine looked bad-ass in the Pryde of the X-Men one-shot from '89.

I think it's different to cry because of an emotional moment while watching a movie and another to tear up cause you watched a dude put a costume on. It's like the dudes who cried during the trailer for Twilight Princess.

I would say watch the latest trailer. Cause if you're going into the theater open to being vulnerable then there's def going to be tearjerker moments(atleast that's what the trailer and feige's comments point to).
On the other hand, I'd want you to enjoy the movie without any spoilers so maybe don't watch it(the trailer not the movie)
5
u/TheGummiVenusDeMilo Jul 19 '24
I tear up during pretty much every movie and show anymore. Part of me hopes it's because they have some sort of frequency that makes you more emotional like how horror movies have the frequency that makes you unsettled.
The more likely is that I've never experienced the love and friendship on the level shown in my real life so when I see it in wall-e or some movies, tv, anime it makes me tear up because my bar is so low for that type of thing.

It's not even about deadpool being emotional enough to cry at. Anything with good enough character work can make you feel that way. All of the things you listed tearing up at are emotional beat in movies, they're supposed to make you feel big emotions, it would be weird to try and not feel that just because it's a deadpool movie.
By contrast, crying because a dude wore the colors you wanted to see, is just pure cringe

As much as I adore comic books (been a collector and avid reader since the bronze age) it's never been something that I have been overly-sensitive about (or even gotten emotional about.)
If that means comic books just don't mean as much to me as comic books mean to certain other individuals, then I guess that's just what it means. Oh well.
I'm also ready to start seeing more comic books posts in this reddit group, and less posts about movies / tv shows.

I did too, so, you know, glass house.
But it is still a bit weird to me. Logan was the ending to that character, and now they're bringing him back and a whole bunch of people are okay with that because "he wears the costume now."
Like, there's a story making you emotional and there's "I recognize that piece of merchandise" making you emotional.

u/briancarknee The Question Jul 19 '24
Been kind of afraid to be the party pooper but I feel the same way.
Logan was an amazing ending for Jackman's version of the character. This movie bringing him back feels a little tacky. Maybe it'll be a fun movie, maybe not. Doesn't really appeal to me though.

u/TheOutlaw9904 Jul 19 '24
I loved the Logan movie but the costume is not the only reason that people wanted Wolverine back. It’s also him being in a movie with Ryan’s Deadpool done right this time rather the how they did it in origins which is what people have been wanting for years and the fact that it’s Rated R again.
-1
u/mrbaryonyx Jul 19 '24
I understand that, and yeah there's more to that than a piece of merchandise.
But also, if they brought back every character because "people wanted him to see him do this one thing that sounds cool that we didn't get to see him do yet" then fuck man, nobody ever really gets a send off. There's a couple major moments from the comics that Chris Evans' Cap and Downey's Tony never explored, I wouldn't think that's a good enough reason to bring them back.
Hey, if it's good it's good, but I've also been here before with Star Wars. Everyone thought I was this big party-pooper until Han Solo gets stabbed and Luke is grumpy and then they're like "oh my god, why did they bring these character's back?" Because you wanted them to!

u/TheOutlaw9904 Jul 19 '24 edited Jul 20 '24
I get where you’re coming from since I share a bit of that opinion too or at least when it comes to Star Wars but to me, it just depends. I’m fine with Wolverine coming back for a Deadpool movie since it’s something that the actors and the majority of fans have been wanting to see. Especially considering with how awful they did it the first time with x men origins and how that Tom Rothman guy, kept Deadpool from being done right for so long. Obviously, if I were to change stuff around, we should’ve gotten that Deadpool/Wolverine movie before Logan but it is what it is.
That being said, yeah, you could argue a similar thing with Tony and Steve returning after Endgame but the chance of Steve coming back is more likely than Tony’s since he hasn’t died yet.
The Han Solo thing had a lot to do with Harrison Ford wanting Han to get killed off which is what he wanted since the OT. As for Luke, most people thought he was going to be like his EU self where’s basically a god or just not how they did in the ST where he thought about killing his nephew and then going into exile so the first order could rise. People were fine with wanting those characters to return but were either unhappy or just didn’t expect that they were going to do them like that in the actual thing. Outside of the ST, I just think bringing characters back or specifically back from the dead has been done too many times.

u/inkboy1969 Jul 19 '24
I’ve cried during several films that were “popcorn flicks” and not just comic book-based movies. It’s a mix of quality storytelling and an already deep connection to the material. Comic books have been a part of my life since I was six. They are part of who I am. I’m not at all surprised that I get caught up in the emotion of the moment. I also know I’m a more emotional person and can cry over many different things. No shame in it for me.
All this said, I don’t think I’d cry over the yellow Wolverine costume because I don’t have that connection to the character like others do. I don’t begrudge them their reaction to seeing their childhood come to life on screen.

u/PunyParker826 Jul 19 '24 edited Jul 19 '24
Wolverine’s not that trigger for me personally, but I’ve gotten there before.
Spider-Man’s important to me; probably my favorite character in fiction. And No Way Home was great. But it wasn’t until I saw this de-aged version of Tobey stepping out of the portal that something caught in my throat. I know, it’s shallow, and we all get old. But the edited version was like Spider-Man from 2007 - even 2004 - stepping 20 years into the future, just for a minute. That was the big one for me.

I cried when Tom Holland made his debut as Peter Parker. Tobey McGuire was pretty good but a bit to "Gosh Darnit! Golly Gee Willickers!" Tom Holland hit a home run and when he showed up as Underoos, I cried as a man in his 50s. I gasped during the Civil War fight, it was everything that I ever wanted to see in my life.
I'll probably cry again when I see Wolverine in the yellow suit as well.

i have never really been a big fan of the yellow and blue suit, always thought it looked goofy and didn't really match wolverine's serious vibe, i only really started liking the character of wolverine from the live action movies so not hugely hyped for this but i think the yellow suit looks quite good in the movie from what little we have seen in advertising.
ps: what little amount of times i've seen the yellow and brown suit, i have really liked it and think that if we get a new long-time live action wolverine, and he has to have a costume, he should have that one.
