Deadpool’s triumph in the Hollywood cartel has been unchallenged since its inception in 2016. From its scripting to its visuals to its star, Ryan Reynolds, Deadpool movies have been a complete entertainment package. To retain the antics of anti-heroism, the franchise also released a toned-down version of Deadpool 2 called Once Upon a Time in Deadpool in December 2017. Recently, to ignite the Christmas spirit, a clip from the film has reemerged on the internet, cracking up fans.

An Instagram page, Ight, posted the snippet that features Deadpool holding Fred Savage captive while engaging in a resolute advocacy for Nickelback. The row started when the former quoted the difference between a Marvel production and a Marvel production “licensed by Fox”. He said how it was much like “if the Beatles were produced by Nickelback”. While it might involve music, it would still “suck”. Deadpool, in his response, went into a full-fledged monologue stating “facts” about the records and awards of Nickelback in the record industry.

Once Upon a Time in Deadpool was a 20th Century Fox Film project. A re-edited PG-13-rated re-cut version of the second installment that features Deadpool’s narration of the story to Fred Savage. The storytelling embraces a cryptic parody of The Princess Bride. The snippet ends with the pair singing ‘How You Remind Me’ in a calm tone after Deadpool’s soliloquy. 

This extended version came as a Christmas surprise back in 2017. With its resurface and Deadpool’s poker-face humor deliveries, the joy of the season has been brought back. While fans have encountered this before, it continues to amuse them like a fresh discovery.

Fans participate in the Nickelback debate chain after the snippet’s surface 

Clearly, the Deadpool fever is contagious. As fans still await the priority-tagged Deadpool 3 to release next year, people engaged in the Nickelback row enthusiastically. A user commented on how he “never understood the dislike towards nickelback . Great songs . 🫠”. Another wrote, “The problem is, name one good Nickelback song. Popularity contests like platinum or whatever are just sales figures”.

As most fans vouched for Deadpool’s perspective, a fan wrote, “Nobody can make me hate the song Savin’ Me by nickelback it’s too good”. Another goofy fan joked that “Everyone who “hates” them will 100% sing along to their songs 😂”. While that comment very much gestured to Fred Savage’s reaction, another user justified how “I don’t really play nickleback’s songs in general , but “how you remind me” is DEFINITELY a good song.”.
