Awhile back, before the release of Wolverine, I wrote about whether I thought Ryan Reynolds was a good choice for any action movie.  And while he had a small part this time around he seemed to pull it off–though was that him at the end with his mouth all sealed up?

Regardless, that’s not why I’m writing this post. If you saw Wolverine you saw the final fight sequence where Mr. Sideburns himself boasts his blades and then Deadpool slowly lets his own blades out. EXCEPT! They’re sword blades hidden within his arms.

I’m no scientific genius but doesn’t that present a problem? If the sword blade runs the length of his arms he wouldn’t be able to bend at the elbow? It doesn’t make sense unless there is some absurd explanation like the metal forms at the tip of his fist, otherwise inside his arm it is liquified. But then if that blade is made of “Adamantium” it would mean that Deadpool’s insides would have to be on fire to keep it melted. I suppose anything is possible since he is a combo mix of all the mutant powers Stryker wanted to put into him.

Maybe there’s a comicbook geek out there that could answer this one. I consider myself fairly geeky but I’m not up on the original Wolverine history or the Deadpool history.

Suffice to say, logic doesn’t matter. Ryan will be back in The Deadpool spinoff movie. Considering that he got his ass kicked by two mutants I’m not sure what the storyline will be (I assume it will be a prequel to the prequel we just saw). I do say congrats to Ryan. I like the guy, but I think he still has a ways to go before he proves himself as an action star. He still feels like a smartass sidekick to me.
