Ryan Reynolds Discusses The Possiblity Of A Deadpool Spin-off
On the eve of the Wolverine movie’s debut in theatres, actor Ryan Reynolds talked with MTV News to discuss the possibility of a Deadpool movie. According to the star, if he had his way, the Deadpool movie would be an R-rated musical with very crude undertones.
Though Reynolds’ tongue is firmly in cheek with his analogy, when it comes to the Merc with a Mouth, the actor may be on to something. “You definitely have to break the fourth wall and you have to find a way to make that make sense, which is no small feat. So it would involve a really talented writer, an amazing visionary director and I think a great collaboration between everybody passionate about this character,” Reynolds told MTV.

Five Great X-Men: The Animated Series Episodes
After digging up videos, buying bootleg DVD’s and skipping through thousands of listings on eBay, fans of the early 1990’s TV series X-Men can finally save themselves trouble and possible money. On April 28th, 2009 the series finally made its long-anticipated debut on legitimate DVD. The first thirty-three episodes of the series will be released in two volumes, with hopefully the rest of the seventy-six episodes to follow.
One of the things that made the show so popular was its adherence, mostly, to the mythology of the X-Men and its vast supporting characters. Most storylines and episodes had justice done to them, and the show wasn’t afraid to portray characters such as Sabretooth and Magneto as complicated and ruthless as they appeared in the comics. The show also had no problem extending some storylines, such as the Phoenix Saga, to more than just a one or two episode arc in order to tell the story as it should be told, not watered down for time.
With that in mind, here are five memorable episodes of the series, in no particular order, that made this show the standout that it was.
