i have a little bit of chronic depression from my dad’s side of the family. Some days it’s Really hard for me and.. you give me So much comfort 🥹 thank you ❤️
don't ask "why you're like this"; crying is amazing and powerful. i use it as a strength and i think everyone should ^^ be vulnerable and motivate yourself after you cry the icky out to become better! you're the best, Ms. Dow 🧡😁
Always loved Cable’s explanation of how Deadpool reminded him of his wife: “She always struggled. She was funny... filtered her pain through the prism of humor. Something I could never master.”
you should have been in the movie as SmartPool. You could have analyzed everything he did as he did it and then he'd snap and say something like "you should have a TH-cam channel where you break down characters and their psychoses" and then you'd look at the camera and sigh....
Deadpool isn't merely quirky and quick-witted. He's literally had his brain destroyed and rewritten a ton of times. He's in constant pain and can't die. His version of reality doesn't remotely resemble any other human being's. He's bonkers.
His past may be perpetually rewritten, but his psychology and coping mechanisms remain mostly the same and really vary only slightly by writting style. One portion of his psychology that never gets talked about that i find interesting, is how he uses his nihilism to become happy. When he feels nothing matters, he just has fun. Because nothing matters so who cares, you? Your opinion doesn't matter. So I'm going to just do what makes me happy. I like that.
I do like the dynamic between the two. Deadpool, riddled with insecurities (and cancer) then Wolverine who has anger issues. Both build walls around em 20ft high to keep others out but because of healing factors, once the aggression runs its course, you see them actually start processing their issues and supporting each other.
Thank you for pointing out what a tool humor is. I've felt that movie-Deadpool frequently uses humor as a mask, even more than his actual mask. He does have a genuine joy and hope, but I've noticed he uses it more often to reflect the behaviors of those around him or deflect any self-doubts he has. He especially cranks it up if he knows it's bugging someone, it's good at disarming opponents (Francis/Ajax), but it's also good at knocking down walls (Logan). It might not be the best method (again, Logan), but by forcing him to engage, that's how they were able to make a connection. But he doesn't use his humor against his friends. He's much more candid with them, much more open and honest and genuinely kind. He uses humor as the bridge between them, a way to meet them on their level or whatever stage in life they are. (Not so much with the comicbook-Deadpool.)
@@RenfromBespin It's a little hard to describe as his original concept truly is a joke character, meant to mock the grim-dark direction comic books were taking. The best way to put it is that he was much harsher. He lacked a lot of the humanizing moments the movies give him. It was played that his rapid healing abilities were continuously rewiring his brain, causing mental instability and psychosis. Since he was a different person moment by moment, he had true moral ambiguity. His goals and desires could and would change at any given moment, regardless of what information he had. He also didn't form many bonds, and the few he did have were arguably shaky. The real world reason for this is writers believed his series would be cancelled at any given moment because his concept was so insane. They believed whatever they did with Deadpool didn't matter because he wasn't going to last for more than a few years. When it became clear that the character and franchise wasn't going to be ended any time soon, later issues softened him and gave him a central moral code, which then carried into the movies and were enhanced by them.
I wanted to write whole essay about something that happened to me but let me just say that characters like Deadpool, Naruto etc. hit me right in the spot. Punched by terrible trauma that made me realise how life is just meaningless and how people take it to seriously. I became that "serious goof" just like Wade is. Outside, joking all the effing time, inside, caring, hopeful and understanding like no other. That's why I love this version of Deadpool so much, it's me minus the superpowers.
i love how you point out that its an anxiety response. I have a nervous tic where i grin (combined with laughing sometimes) whenever im in an anxiety fueling situation and sometimes it makes me feel like im just being an edgelord and "just acting crazy" even though its out of my control. Knowing that its an anxiety response/defense mechanism and just my brain trying to soothe itself deff makes me feel less critical abt it
It's refreshing to see someone get emotional over Deadpool. It's easy to miss all his good character traits during all the gags and stuff, but even in the comics he has many emotional and positive moments.
My wife is the reason I have hope, before her I’ll was a careless man that ran from my trauma with alcohol and pot . As well as doing dumb and stupid things to feel…well feeling and not numb. But she help walk through that and that trauma and numbness so now I’m the happiest I have ever been and fighting to heal every day. Thank you Megan you have made me the best I ever been and pushing me to be better. I love you so much.
Maybe that’s why I love Deadpool so much. His energy is so contagious!! He reminds me so much of one of my best friends who helped me with my confidence. Heck, I’m still learning to say “I love me” without feeling guilty.
Once the movie is out of theaters I'd love to see a deeper dive on both Wade and Logan and their feelings of inadequacy; especially the van scene (you know the one). That whole arc really resonated with me while watching.
that last part about self confidence is so important to me. every now and then i’ll have a setback but i’ve really become someone i’m proud of. yes, i’m selfish (a bit hedonistic if i’m honest), a bit quick to annoy, lack focus, and struggle to become close to people. but i’m also empathetic, very genuine, gentle, good at teaching people and understanding people when they’re struggling and how to help them, very creative (though me from a few years ago would have heavily disagreed), and enthusiastic about my interests. i have a lot of flaws and advantages and i’m really happy that i can see these things and build up my confidence
Wolverine even asked Deadpool if he has been diagnosed with adhd and DP said no 😅 And honestly I was really eager to see if you’d cover the big speech in the car. IYKYK. Would looooovee to see your reaction to that
One of the interactions I like in the movies is Deadpool talking to Yuki. She is so sweet and he in turn he's sweet to her. I imagine some folks might see him being sarcastic to her but I saw it as genuine kindness to a kind person. He's kind of mean to everyone else but never to Yuki. And since you say we should mention how we feel to people we like, Georgia, I would like to thank you for making these videos. I mainly watch them/listen to them because I love listening to you speak with that bubbly voice of yours. You're one of the rare people on YT that I reduce the speed time down to near normal just to draw out your talking. (But not at normal speed. Sorry, but I find EVERYBODY talks WAAAAY TOOOO SLOW!!!! on YT videos. LOL) But yes, thank you for being the "freaking little ray of sunshine" whenever I see your videos.
that is so sweet yes that is a delightful thing he does with her = ). Aww thank you so much that made my day. Thank you for letting me know and being a part of my community. That's what I hope to do with these videos. < 3
I hope that once the movie will be released on bluray we'll see more of your analysis on the movie. I think the conversation between DP and Wolverine in the car was really interesting since it ties in to what you're saying about "masking". Minor spoiler alert: DP does a great job at masking his emotions but Wolverine called him out on that which prompted the fight between them.
I think Deadpool can be that believer, that hopeful person for others, because he knows for a fact that he is in a story, and stories go in certain ways, so he knows he can help the story go in a direction that’s better for everyone around him if he just puts in the effort.
Deadpool also knows he will walk away from every situation, due to his healing factor, so fear and anxiety don’t serve him in the kind of work he does, so he doesn’t waste time worrying about those things, that’s why he can be so ruthlessly efficient and why he can have fun in the middle of a fight.
Georgia "I didn't fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps." is the actual quote, but most people have only heard the inaccurate version. Sure would be NICE to "get the benefit of the doubt"! THAT might be a fun feeling to experience! Does it feel Gooey? Maybe it's Good Gooey. SOME people only communicate with me to jump down my throat. Being able to be open and free! THAT'S the dream! Well, except for my parents. I'm already living the dream there!
I like what you said about how failure is giving up and how it’s important to have people to root for you. What made my failures hurt more was that people around me didn’t root for me. You can say they aren’t right for you all you want, but nobody wants to be alone for so long. I had to deal with failure and the loneliness that came from it. Sometimes, I feel like what makes life a joke is that it only rewards the strong and the winners. This is why I’m not a fan of characters like Deadpool. They’re a joke compared to people who have far more success or less or no baggage. Some people suffer less and get to prance around while others have pain that has nowhere to go
That's kinda why Deadpool’s my favorite character. He is always seen as this unserious, funny little dude while he is such a dark character. ESPECIALLY if you read the comic books. I literally couldn't finish reading several of his comics because of how devestated I was to see him in an endless cycle of physical and mental pain but always hiding it with jokes. :(
The thing with Deadpool is that he's legit crazy and extremely quick to violence. That's why he's generally avoided by other heroes, its not just because he's annoying, he's wildy unpredictable. They've only shown in the movies how he got his powers but before that he was violently abused child who ended up killing his own father and then also killing his incredibly loving adoptive parents. In the comics he has what could be generously described as an ''inner monologue'' but really he talks to himself, he's extremely damaged but unusually decent at times. But aside from all that the main reason he's insane is that Deadpool knows he's fictional, he knows he's just a character in a comic book/movie, he knows he's not real. It's even considered to be one of his powers because he can't be mind read, or he can but his mind is such an unpleasant place to be and because anyone who dares enter his mind is struck with an immediate existental crisis when they discover that nothing is real. That's why he breaks the fourth wall, he knows he's in a comic and we're the reader.
Well when you look at deadpool as a viewer he looks sane but if you were Wolverine imagine seeing someone talking to air and making jokes to the wall then He is insane and he doesn't really takes thing seriously since he can't die. Nice video Dowpool
9:50 this analysis is oh so accurate because Light Spoiler warning In the movie at the diner wolvarine even asked Deadpool if he has been tested for adhd. As someone who has adhd and lives with where half the people have adhd (diagnosed) I see so much of what I see in person and how I act sometimes in Deadpool and to me that is so funny.
I am often castigated for making jokes at inappropriate times, making uncomfortable overservations not meant to hurt but to help, and generally have a hard time relating to others. Being knocked down for this over and over again teaches a person to be cynical and guarded.
In my circle of friends, one of my best friends has mild autism and has described almost the exact same thing to me. For him, he doesn't always read the room well. We all know this, and none of us care, because we know his heart is in the right place. We are in our early 40's and 50's - I think as I got older, I cared more about where someone's heart is, more than anything else. I think my friends are similar. For me, being selective with my friends, and tending the friendship (over years) worked really well.
@@kenashworth7672 The thing is, it takes more than a circle of kith and kin to make a life. It takes strangers, too. So much of our lives are made up of the consequences of interactions with strangers.
My dad saw that in me. He never said it, but he didn't have to. Sadly I lost him in my early 20s . I'm Fifty three now.he finally let his guard down, and we really bonded than he was gone. Lymphoma. God bless the real baddest man on the planet. Love you dad.
All the other Marvel characters think he's nuts because he's the only one that knows they're all characters in a movie/comic book/etc. Deadpool is the sanest of all Marvel characters really
…yeahh…I do this. Apparently before I started school (despite the adhd moodiness) and got the joy very quickly bullied out of me by what was so intense and prolonged with what my therapist is trying to get me to recognize as emotional abuse/neglect by my peers/teachers/community/lesser extent my parents (but they kept me there, and blamed me for not doing well and having any emotions at all, even laughter became “too much”) APPARENTLY I was “infectiously positive” and they wanted 4 Year Old Me back (y’know, the cute preschool kid who wasn’t traumatized yet, but they still didn’t have much tolerance for.) Now as an adult after a LOT of on-going therapy and finding a less conventional medication to take that at least chills out my cptsd symptoms enough for my mind to feel clearer than it has in literally half my life (which is just enough to make some progress, although there’s talk about increasing it, especially since I cannot take adhd meds like we’d hoped) …I am noticing that NOW people see me as Kind and Supportive, but apparently infectiously so. What I don’t always let them see despite saying “I’ll hold onto hope for you” because I really do get it with hope being too painful to bear is just how jaded I am-especially since I’ve always been judged harshly for it. That I’m dead tired and I need people to carry the hope for me that I’m not yet able to fully carry for myself, but I have so little trust in people. (That I’m actually a super feeler and a super analyzer, and a lot of it is because of my adhd and fearful-avoidance/cptsd, but mostly the adhd and having that as my personality to begin with even as a kid. Feeling things intensely, apparently being infectious, but also “well that’s bullshit” or “how/why?” would not have been out of place in my thought patterns (just with less swearing.)) But…yeah. If I’m in a friend group, it knits together apparently pretty quickly. Despite key people also disliking me, or I’m being pushed out as I’m apparently a bonding agent for others…so I leave. And then these groups die. Or my college choir last year. We actually did become tightly knit simply because I give everyone patience and encouragement and celebrate others’ efforts and wins, while being privately dedicated and feeling like I have to be on point at all times or very quickly, so the others admitted to trying to match that. But…I typically don’t get to have the care I give others outside my online friendship. There’s…perhaps one exception? The person I like I have literally seen them slowly transform into looking happier and more confident since we started interacting, and I’ve seen hints of their familial relationships and dynamics improving as well. They all but said I “saved them” the other day under the guise of petsitting on short notice but. What they don’t realize is…they and their family are slowly saving me too. I think I might actually believe them now about wanting to spend time together (even if it’s logistically nigh impossible), and that someone actually wants to help and support instead of being insincere or wanting to use or betray or have power over me. They were someone relatively safe to try and catch up on social skills my environment made me miss out on and all the pain involved in that. They’re the first person to see me lose it in a cptsd episode and not immediately crucify me about it, but actually stick around to continue to develop a friendship, anyway. They actually work through conflicts we have, and when there was a really bad one caused by others that hurt us both despite our best intentions, they didn’t leave, and for once someone else got in the mud to resolve things instead of letting me become the scapegoat yet again and cleaning it all up alone. And I know I never would’ve tried returning to college to finish a music degree if I wasn’t aware of their own pursuit of their own art despite how hostile our religious environment is towards artists. Just. Yeah. Those people who you feel better after talking with and spending time with? We need support and encouragement and company too. Please don’t assume we can sustain ourselves with a superhuman reservoir, or that we must be popular and included in things because we’re “so kind!!” Often we’re not, because of our own histories or assumptions others project onto us. And while we get along with a lot of people, we can just as easily be universally hated for those exact same traits.
14:20 "And he definetily loves himself!" I mean..kinda, in the movies a bit more than in the comics 😅 I know It'd be really hard, but interesting to watch an analysis of him in the comics as that's not so true there... LOVED THE VIDEO!
Humour as a defence/defusal mechanism is also especially true for neurodiverse individuals to get out of the awkward situations and interactions we get stuck in. Distracts the people around us from something we might have done or said outside their neurotypical expectations. I imagine it is all exactly the same for superheroes in their world as they would have a similar rarity!
I love that you got emotional and never be ashamed that you do! It's so true that hope it so important and that we assume the people around us think we believe in ourselves so much more than we often do.
It took me 2 months but I finally managed to find a therapist and schedule an appointment. What you were saying about fear ruling your life its so true. I hope my insurance covers the therapy and i can find my courage and confidence.
Georgia Dow catching feelings is all of us right now. Things have been so negative in society for so long. Really ever since COVID. People are ready for something positive. You can feel it in all of our media.
I hope that you start to feel it. It is work to restart a dormant system but you can do it. May be something you want to work with the right person with. I wish you the best
As a fellow psychologist, I love this video so much. And you’ve reminded me of a high a school teacher who got me through some really hard times. I’m going to reach out to him now.
One thing I've always loved about the Deadpool Trilogy is there's always this surprising amount of Heart put into it; The first one was looks don't _always_ matter, but to what extent will you go to protect the ones you love. The second movie was that you can _always_ find good in yourself, or someone else. And the Third movie was you matter to people in ways you don't see. And its the sum of these parts that make you a good person.
Hope is a powerful emotion. Spite may be more focused, it’s still fleeting. Deadpool finds the joy in the darkest of times, and I’ve always appreciated that.
This was so cool! I'd love to see you do another Deadpool deepdive once DP3 is out on video! Maybe two videos, one for Deadpool and one for Wolverine 😁
i am so lucky to have friends who believe in me and im doing my best to be that friend to them as well. ive been the funny friend for a long long time but i noticed that before therapy it was mostly very self-depricating, very cynical humor and while i never intended to put others down i did often use backwards language to compliment people but i realized just how much words can impact how i feel about myself and how i make others feel so in recent years i do my best to really only ever say positive words even when im joking. and i also started to be more open about my feelings so i never hesitate to tell the people i love how much they mean to me. i think it makes a lot of difference, humor combined with genuine kindness, intended to lift everyone up. that said i am struggling with my new job, trying to find my footing and since im, surprise surprise not immediately perfect at it, my confidence took a dive and i almost miss my previous (awful) job where i could joke with everyone even though i didnt like them much because i was confident in myself... im sure im gonna improve soon but this transition period is super hard rn which brings me back to how much the support of my friends means to me. anyways, im rambling, wade is one of my favourite characters in the marvel universe so thank you for your video!! id love to see one about logan as well :3
Wade Wilson’s brain is pretty simplified in the movies, and the more you learn about how scrambled his brain really is, the more interesting he becomes. I think that its an important point to make that Wade is constantly in pain because of his mutation, physically and mentally. He rewrote himself as Deadpool to be some kind of alter ego for himself. I thought he was already suffering from a personality split. as he is able to “speak to readers” and he has two primary voices in his head, one being his voice of reason and the other being that childlike and humorous voice. Not like having DID, but black and white thinking more or less. The video game ‘Deadpool’ even touches on how Wade has visual hallucinations as well as auditory The movie adaptation of him relieves a bit of that, but what movie is 100% comic accurate? Either way, Wade has gone through a great amount of suffering for the people he loves and I think that love is the biggest motivator for the things he does. Even though it may not be in the other’s best interest, he does it with a hundred percent care and confidence in that other person. He was willing to throw himself away for people like Vanessa, Cable, and Logan because he cares so much about anyone but himself, even though he can be selfish and manipulative in the process. I wouldn’t say he doesn’t take himself seriously as a way to lighten spirits, but more of a “no one else will take me seriously, so why should I take myself seriously?”
As always, your reviews are fantastic to watch. They are informative and bring an interesting perception on these characters point of view. Now, having said this, I was wondering, if possible, you can do a review of Godzilla Minus One. It deals with heavy issues of PTSD. And I'm would be fascinated by your take on it.
It would be nice to have deadpoolian like person in ones life that gives encouragement. However sometimes one has to get it wherever it comes. I have been fortunate to hear or see the information I most need at the time I need it through things im reading or listening to at that moment.
Practicing Joy! Wow, as a beat down millennial, this hit a note in me cos I'm all about seeing what brings me joy from Marie Kondo's work of tidying up and have been practicing minimalism but emotional maturity happens so fast in that process that I didnt realise that Practising joy is almost as strong as practicing love and compassion or forgiveness. Thanks 🙏🏽 ❤
Theres been a few people at my job that really seemed to believe in me, while there were equal ammounts that seemed to despise me. But whenever i lifted heavy and then from the sidelines a kollegue aknowledged it, it felt awesome. I hope i was able to return the favor when he played drums. Anyway, a tiny compliment can go a huge way. Whenever you are impressed with someone, tell them. Its a beautiful gesture we all should adopt.
You’re right night about hope. Stress and dissonance can freeze us into inaction and doubt. It’s important to just take another step. Left, right, or straight doesn’t matter. Just take that step. Whatever you do, you will succeed at r you will learn and still succeed. If nothing else, DP takes Vanessa VERY seriously. He’s also really kind to most people. He jokes with everyone equally. He doesn’t seek violence, he just wades (intentional) into it when necessary, but without uncertainty. As soon as the other side wants to stop, DP stops. If they choose to fight, so be it. If they choose to assemble furniture, so be it. Whether getting along or not, maximum effort. It’s oddly admirable. He’s an amazing antihero.
Great video, neat to see the less serious nature of someone directed and see why they are like that. I think breaking down the psychology of Jojo's Bizarre adventure characters would be really neat. From serial killers to devote priests to everyday people trying to do the right thing, I feel like there would be a lot to dissect and would interesting to hear about.
I think that Rocky Balboa said it best: "You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"
I'd love to see you do a breakdown of Dean Winchester from supernatural. There's some really really good fan edits of character moments here on TH-cam. The show ran for 15 seasons and the main cast evolve from being 20 something youths to dad bods that eventually see they're too old to be considered young.

Georgia Dow as Deadpool makes sense. It explains her breaking the fourth wall, talking to us, the viewers.

I mean that may have been true when he had madcap and Preston in his head but a this point he's pretty much on solid ground
Moviepool is more balanced than Comicpool. Both are fun, but there's more meat on the bones of Comicpool.
That's true. But when you said it, it wasn't true

Both build walls around em 20ft high to keep others out but because of healing factors, once the aggression runs its course, you see them actually start processing their issues and supporting each other.

He does have a genuine joy and hope, but I've noticed he uses it more often to reflect the behaviors of those around him or deflect any self-doubts he has. He especially cranks it up if he knows it's bugging someone, it's good at disarming opponents (Francis/Ajax), but it's also good at knocking down walls (Logan). It might not be the best method (again, Logan), but by forcing him to engage, that's how they were able to make a connection.
But he doesn't use his humor against his friends. He's much more candid with them, much more open and honest and genuinely kind. He uses humor as the bridge between them, a way to meet them on their level or whatever stage in life they are.
(Not so much with the comicbook-Deadpool.)
Yeah one moment I love in Deadpool 2 is when he speaks to Blind Al and Collusus about his loss, and how he blames himself.

I’d watch a 2 hour video if she did one. There probably is a lot to unpack from that movie

= ) for us all
that last part about self confidence is so important to me. every now and then i’ll have a setback but i’ve really become someone i’m proud of. yes, i’m selfish (a bit hedonistic if i’m honest), a bit quick to annoy, lack focus, and struggle to become close to people. but i’m also empathetic, very genuine, gentle, good at teaching people and understanding people when they’re struggling and how to help them, very creative (though me from a few years ago would have heavily disagreed), and enthusiastic about my interests. i have a lot of flaws and advantages and i’m really happy that i can see these things and build up my confidence
Perfect Deadpool analysis and cosplay
thank you Damian.
Deadpool is worth getting emotional over 💚
aww thanks
Wolverine even asked Deadpool if he has been diagnosed with adhd and DP said no 😅
And honestly I was really eager to see if you’d cover the big speech in the car. IYKYK. Would looooovee to see your reaction to that
He even smiled like "nooooooo 😊"
One of the interactions I like in the movies is Deadpool talking to Yuki. She is so sweet and he in turn he's sweet to her. I imagine some folks might see him being sarcastic to her but I saw it as genuine kindness to a kind person. He's kind of mean to everyone else but never to Yuki.
And since you say we should mention how we feel to people we like, Georgia, I would like to thank you for making these videos. I mainly watch them/listen to them because I love listening to you speak with that bubbly voice of yours. You're one of the rare people on YT that I reduce the speed time down to near normal just to draw out your talking. (But not at normal speed. Sorry, but I find EVERYBODY talks WAAAAY TOOOO SLOW!!!! on YT videos. LOL) But yes, thank you for being the "freaking little ray of sunshine" whenever I see your videos.
that is so sweet yes that is a delightful thing he does with her = ).
Aww thank you so much that made my day. Thank you for letting me know and being a part of my community. That's what I hope to do with these videos. < 3
I hope that once the movie will be released on bluray we'll see more of your analysis on the movie. I think the conversation between DP and Wolverine in the car was really interesting since it ties in to what you're saying about "masking".
Minor spoiler alert:
DP does a great job at masking his emotions but Wolverine called him out on that which prompted the fight between them.
One of the reasons I love Deadpool is that despite his hilarity, he has depth and is not just a gag character
I, just like he, constantly question myself.
I've had several people in my life believe in me, they dragged me kicking and screaming to a point where i could believe in myself.
that is wonderful = ). those are good people to have
I have been waiting several weeks for this analysis from you Georgia, thank you.
I can gently tap the fourth wall too,
*The Proposal*
- Nicepool
The cosplays always make me smile immediately because they’re all so great
aww thanks
I think Deadpool can be that believer, that hopeful person for others, because he knows for a fact that he is in a story, and stories go in certain ways, so he knows he can help the story go in a direction that’s better for everyone around him if he just puts in the effort.
Deadpool also knows he will walk away from every situation, due to his healing factor, so fear and anxiety don’t serve him in the kind of work he does, so he doesn’t waste time worrying about those things, that’s why he can be so ruthlessly efficient and why he can have fun in the middle of a fight.
Never liked something so fast without even finishing it!
I am so excited I was not expecting this lol.
Georgia "I didn't fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps." is the actual quote, but most people have only heard the inaccurate version. Sure would be NICE to "get the benefit of the doubt"! THAT might be a fun feeling to experience! Does it feel Gooey? Maybe it's Good Gooey. SOME people only communicate with me to jump down my throat. Being able to be open and free! THAT'S the dream! Well, except for my parents. I'm already living the dream there!
Most adorable Deadpool ever
aww !
I like what you said about how failure is giving up and how it’s important to have people to root for you. What made my failures hurt more was that people around me didn’t root for me. You can say they aren’t right for you all you want, but nobody wants to be alone for so long. I had to deal with failure and the loneliness that came from it.
Sometimes, I feel like what makes life a joke is that it only rewards the strong and the winners. This is why I’m not a fan of characters like Deadpool. They’re a joke compared to people who have far more success or less or no baggage.
Some people suffer less and get to prance around while others have pain that has nowhere to go
I have been watching you for years. And you have made a HUGE difference in my life! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO LIFE TEACH!
That's kinda why Deadpool’s my favorite character. He is always seen as this unserious, funny little dude while he is such a dark character. ESPECIALLY if you read the comic books. I literally couldn't finish reading several of his comics because of how devestated I was to see him in an endless cycle of physical and mental pain but always hiding it with jokes. :(
The thing with Deadpool is that he's legit crazy and extremely quick to violence. That's why he's generally avoided by other heroes, its not just because he's annoying, he's wildy unpredictable. They've only shown in the movies how he got his powers but before that he was violently abused child who ended up killing his own father and then also killing his incredibly loving adoptive parents. In the comics he has what could be generously described as an ''inner monologue'' but really he talks to himself, he's extremely damaged but unusually decent at times. But aside from all that the main reason he's insane is that Deadpool knows he's fictional, he knows he's just a character in a comic book/movie, he knows he's not real. It's even considered to be one of his powers because he can't be mind read, or he can but his mind is such an unpleasant place to be and because anyone who dares enter his mind is struck with an immediate existental crisis when they discover that nothing is real. That's why he breaks the fourth wall, he knows he's in a comic and we're the reader.
Well when you look at deadpool as a viewer he looks sane but if you were Wolverine imagine seeing someone talking to air and making jokes to the wall then He is insane and he doesn't really takes thing seriously since he can't die. Nice video Dowpool
9:50 this analysis is oh so accurate because Light Spoiler warning
In the movie at the diner wolvarine even asked Deadpool if he has been tested for adhd.
As someone who has adhd and lives with where half the people have adhd (diagnosed) I see so much of what I see in person and how I act sometimes in Deadpool and to me that is so funny.
I am often castigated for making jokes at inappropriate times, making uncomfortable overservations not meant to hurt but to help, and generally have a hard time relating to others.
Being knocked down for this over and over again teaches a person to be cynical and guarded.
In my circle of friends, one of my best friends has mild autism and has described almost the exact same thing to me. For him, he doesn't always read the room well. We all know this, and none of us care, because we know his heart is in the right place. We are in our early 40's and 50's - I think as I got older, I cared more about where someone's heart is, more than anything else. I think my friends are similar. For me, being selective with my friends, and tending the friendship (over years) worked really well.
Yes yes this is very deep and I agree with you but brother when I got done reading this and I saw your pfp is joker I fucking lost it my ribs hurt
@@RustyArgonianKnight
Okay, have fun?
@@kenashworth7672 The thing is, it takes more than a circle of kith and kin to make a life. It takes strangers, too. So much of our lives are made up of the consequences of interactions with strangers.
My dad saw that in me. He never said it, but he didn't have to. Sadly I lost him in my early 20s . I'm Fifty three now.he finally let his guard down, and we really bonded than he was gone. Lymphoma. God bless the real baddest man on the planet. Love you dad.
All the other Marvel characters think he's nuts because he's the only one that knows they're all characters in a movie/comic book/etc. Deadpool is the sanest of all Marvel characters really
Deadpool is just absolutely insane lol yeah he can be serious or have things he cares about... but his mental analysis is that he is off his rocker...
I can't wait until the movie comes out on VOD just so you could really analyze all the characters
…yeahh…I do this. Apparently before I started school (despite the adhd moodiness) and got the joy very quickly bullied out of me by what was so intense and prolonged with what my therapist is trying to get me to recognize as emotional abuse/neglect by my peers/teachers/community/lesser extent my parents (but they kept me there, and blamed me for not doing well and having any emotions at all, even laughter became “too much”) APPARENTLY I was “infectiously positive” and they wanted 4 Year Old Me back (y’know, the cute preschool kid who wasn’t traumatized yet, but they still didn’t have much tolerance for.)
Now as an adult after a LOT of on-going therapy and finding a less conventional medication to take that at least chills out my cptsd symptoms enough for my mind to feel clearer than it has in literally half my life (which is just enough to make some progress, although there’s talk about increasing it, especially since I cannot take adhd meds like we’d hoped) …I am noticing that NOW people see me as Kind and Supportive, but apparently infectiously so.
What I don’t always let them see despite saying “I’ll hold onto hope for you” because I really do get it with hope being too painful to bear is just how jaded I am-especially since I’ve always been judged harshly for it. That I’m dead tired and I need people to carry the hope for me that I’m not yet able to fully carry for myself, but I have so little trust in people.
(That I’m actually a super feeler and a super analyzer, and a lot of it is because of my adhd and fearful-avoidance/cptsd, but mostly the adhd and having that as my personality to begin with even as a kid. Feeling things intensely, apparently being infectious, but also “well that’s bullshit” or “how/why?” would not have been out of place in my thought patterns (just with less swearing.))
But…yeah. If I’m in a friend group, it knits together apparently pretty quickly. Despite key people also disliking me, or I’m being pushed out as I’m apparently a bonding agent for others…so I leave. And then these groups die. Or my college choir last year. We actually did become tightly knit simply because I give everyone patience and encouragement and celebrate others’ efforts and wins, while being privately dedicated and feeling like I have to be on point at all times or very quickly, so the others admitted to trying to match that.
But…I typically don’t get to have the care I give others outside my online friendship. There’s…perhaps one exception? The person I like I have literally seen them slowly transform into looking happier and more confident since we started interacting, and I’ve seen hints of their familial relationships and dynamics improving as well. They all but said I “saved them” the other day under the guise of petsitting on short notice but. What they don’t realize is…they and their family are slowly saving me too. I think I might actually believe them now about wanting to spend time together (even if it’s logistically nigh impossible), and that someone actually wants to help and support instead of being insincere or wanting to use or betray or have power over me. They were someone relatively safe to try and catch up on social skills my environment made me miss out on and all the pain involved in that. They’re the first person to see me lose it in a cptsd episode and not immediately crucify me about it, but actually stick around to continue to develop a friendship, anyway. They actually work through conflicts we have, and when there was a really bad one caused by others that hurt us both despite our best intentions, they didn’t leave, and for once someone else got in the mud to resolve things instead of letting me become the scapegoat yet again and cleaning it all up alone. And I know I never would’ve tried returning to college to finish a music degree if I wasn’t aware of their own pursuit of their own art despite how hostile our religious environment is towards artists.
Just. Yeah. Those people who you feel better after talking with and spending time with? We need support and encouragement and company too. Please don’t assume we can sustain ourselves with a superhuman reservoir, or that we must be popular and included in things because we’re “so kind!!” Often we’re not, because of our own histories or assumptions others project onto us. And while we get along with a lot of people, we can just as easily be universally hated for those exact same traits.
I had this coworker at my job who helped me realize i needed therapy and she believed I could become a better person
That is the kind of person which really can make a difference in your life
14:20 "And he definetily loves himself!"
I mean..kinda, in the movies a bit more than in the comics 😅 I know It'd be really hard, but interesting to watch an analysis of him in the comics as that's not so true there... LOVED THE VIDEO!
Humour as a defence/defusal mechanism is also especially true for neurodiverse individuals to get out of the awkward situations and interactions we get stuck in. Distracts the people around us from something we might have done or said outside their neurotypical expectations. I imagine it is all exactly the same for superheroes in their world as they would have a similar rarity!
Ive been waiting for this!
Failure is giving up, it’s not 1 step back that makes u fail it’s u believing you’ve failed
I love that you got emotional and never be ashamed that you do! It's so true that hope it so important and that we assume the people around us think we believe in ourselves so much more than we often do.
It took me 2 months but I finally managed to find a therapist and schedule an appointment. What you were saying about fear ruling your life its so true. I hope my insurance covers the therapy and i can find my courage and confidence.
Thank you for your honesty and kindness.
I really like how you're so positive in these videos when talking about basically anybody's analysis.
Also all the cosplay.
Georgia Dow catching feelings is all of us right now. Things have been so negative in society for so long. Really ever since COVID. People are ready for something positive. You can feel it in all of our media.
Great episode here❤✨
I’ve had trouble sometimes explaining to people what I like about Deadpool. This really helps.
3:09 I haven't felt joy since 2013.
I hope that you start to feel it. It is work to restart a dormant system but you can do it. May be something you want to work with the right person with. I wish you the best
This was so unexpected, yet makes so much sense.
As a fellow psychologist, I love this video so much.
And you’ve reminded me of a high a school teacher who got me through some really hard times. I’m going to reach out to him now.
Aww thank you dearly and thanks for those you help. I’m sure that teacher will be so touched you let them know : )
Was waiting for this video!!!
dp is always putting forth maximum effort
One thing I've always loved about the Deadpool Trilogy is there's always this surprising amount of Heart put into it;
The first one was looks don't _always_ matter, but to what extent will you go to protect the ones you love.
The second movie was that you can _always_ find good in yourself, or someone else.
And the Third movie was you matter to people in ways you don't see. And its the sum of these parts that make you a good person.
We love your excitement! Allow yourself to be emotional, it's valuable because hope is not a minor thing and neither are your emotions
Mandatory Dowpool” joke. Great analysis.
I was expecting a 4th wall breaking “Brilliant ad break” just turning and looking at another camera.
Damn now I will regret that i didnt do that !!!
Therapistpool! I wonder where you were in the movie
I can't tell you I signed an nda
Wait ‘till you get your home copy and you can slow it to 1/4. When you see the whole DeadPool corps, she’s in there.
Awh. Georgia! You're such a gentle soul 🫂 I have always loved and related to Deadpool, and you describe him so beautifully. Deadpool is hope! ❤️
< 3
Hope is a powerful emotion. Spite may be more focused, it’s still fleeting. Deadpool finds the joy in the darkest of times, and I’ve always appreciated that.
Fantastic explanations as always 🤙
This was so cool! I'd love to see you do another Deadpool deepdive once DP3 is out on video! Maybe two videos, one for Deadpool and one for Wolverine 😁
I needed this piece of positivity today. Thank you for these fantastic videos as always!
i am so lucky to have friends who believe in me and im doing my best to be that friend to them as well. ive been the funny friend for a long long time but i noticed that before therapy it was mostly very self-depricating, very cynical humor and while i never intended to put others down i did often use backwards language to compliment people but i realized just how much words can impact how i feel about myself and how i make others feel so in recent years i do my best to really only ever say positive words even when im joking. and i also started to be more open about my feelings so i never hesitate to tell the people i love how much they mean to me. i think it makes a lot of difference, humor combined with genuine kindness, intended to lift everyone up. that said i am struggling with my new job, trying to find my footing and since im, surprise surprise not immediately perfect at it, my confidence took a dive and i almost miss my previous (awful) job where i could joke with everyone even though i didnt like them much because i was confident in myself... im sure im gonna improve soon but this transition period is super hard rn which brings me back to how much the support of my friends means to me. anyways, im rambling, wade is one of my favourite characters in the marvel universe so thank you for your video!! id love to see one about logan as well :3
Deadpool and wolverine really is a funny movie 😂 and love the Deadpool costume
It was so fucking good, it’s ranked number one
I would like to see a therapist analysis of the title character from the movie "Pearl."
Wade Wilson’s brain is pretty simplified in the movies, and the more you learn about how scrambled his brain really is, the more interesting he becomes. I think that its an important point to make that Wade is constantly in pain because of his mutation, physically and mentally. He rewrote himself as Deadpool to be some kind of alter ego for himself. I thought he was already suffering from a personality split. as he is able to “speak to readers” and he has two primary voices in his head, one being his voice of reason and the other being that childlike and humorous voice. Not like having DID, but black and white thinking more or less. The video game ‘Deadpool’ even touches on how Wade has visual hallucinations as well as auditory
The movie adaptation of him relieves a bit of that, but what movie is 100% comic accurate? Either way, Wade has gone through a great amount of suffering for the people he loves and I think that love is the biggest motivator for the things he does. Even though it may not be in the other’s best interest, he does it with a hundred percent care and confidence in that other person. He was willing to throw himself away for people like Vanessa, Cable, and Logan because he cares so much about anyone but himself, even though he can be selfish and manipulative in the process. I wouldn’t say he doesn’t take himself seriously as a way to lighten spirits, but more of a “no one else will take me seriously, so why should I take myself seriously?”
yes I dont cover the comics and that is much more complex and diverse in his symptoms which is very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
As always, your reviews are fantastic to watch. They are informative and bring an interesting perception on these characters point of view. Now, having said this, I was wondering, if possible, you can do a review of Godzilla Minus One. It deals with heavy issues of PTSD. And I'm would be fascinated by your take on it.
This is probaly ur best cosplay yet!! Also a great video
It would be nice to have deadpoolian like person in ones life that gives encouragement. However sometimes one has to get it wherever it comes. I have been fortunate to hear or see the information I most need at the time I need it through things im reading or listening to at that moment.
Ahhh, the Deadpool documentary-series about my life!
Practicing Joy! Wow, as a beat down millennial, this hit a note in me cos I'm all about seeing what brings me joy from Marie Kondo's work of tidying up and have been practicing minimalism but emotional maturity happens so fast in that process that I didnt realise that Practising joy is almost as strong as practicing love and compassion or forgiveness. Thanks 🙏🏽 ❤
Theres been a few people at my job that really seemed to believe in me, while there were equal ammounts that seemed to despise me.
But whenever i lifted heavy and then from the sidelines a kollegue aknowledged it, it felt awesome. I hope i was able to return the favor when he played drums.
Anyway, a tiny compliment can go a huge way. Whenever you are impressed with someone, tell them. Its a beautiful gesture we all should adopt.
You’re right night about hope. Stress and dissonance can freeze us into inaction and doubt. It’s important to just take another step. Left, right, or straight doesn’t matter. Just take that step. Whatever you do, you will succeed at r you will learn and still succeed. If nothing else, DP takes Vanessa VERY seriously. He’s also really kind to most people. He jokes with everyone equally. He doesn’t seek violence, he just wades (intentional) into it when necessary, but without uncertainty. As soon as the other side wants to stop, DP stops. If they choose to fight, so be it. If they choose to assemble furniture, so be it. Whether getting along or not, maximum effort. It’s oddly admirable. He’s an amazing antihero.
Ooo, man, I’d love to see one for THE Wolverine next!
Your videos have definitely helped me out many times😊so I thank you for that
I'm so glad!
wooo! watched the movie a few days ago!! nice timing!!
Thank you Georgia, as wolverine says "let's f**king go!!"
The dynamic between Deadpool and Wolverine reminds me of the dynamic between Moxxie and Blitzo.
My dad is that person too me. Told me he was proud of me often especially if he thought I was down. I miss him
I wish I told him that
I am sure he knew often we have spoken more true of our beliefs with our actions than our words.
Very interesting video thanks.
Great video, neat to see the less serious nature of someone directed and see why they are like that.
I think breaking down the psychology of Jojo's Bizarre adventure characters would be really neat. From serial killers to devote priests to everyday people trying to do the right thing, I feel like there would be a lot to dissect and would interesting to hear about.
Thank you Georgia
❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯
I think that Rocky Balboa said it best: "You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"
Thank you
I'd love to see you do a breakdown of Dean Winchester from supernatural. There's some really really good fan edits of character moments here on TH-cam. The show ran for 15 seasons and the main cast evolve from being 20 something youths to dad bods that eventually see they're too old to be considered young.
Georgia doing an analysis on Deadpool?!?! Fuck yeah!
Thanks for sharing. Blessings
