Once Upon A Dark Phoenix (Released)

A year or so ago, I released a fanedit called “X-Men: Dead Phoenix” which attempted to insert Deadpool into the narrative of X-Men: Dark Phoenix using footage of him at the mansion in Deadpool 2. The results were…mixed to say the least, some ‘got’ it and some didn’t, plus there were some technical errors.

A year later I’ve revised my approach…now, instead of being integrated into Dark Phoenix, Deadpool is telling the story of Dark Phoenix to Fred Savage. Some of Fred’s comments actually work for a few key scenes from this movie.

Changes/Cutlist so far

-Remove any references to the story being Deadpool 2

-Remove Fred being censored by the beeper.

-Fred and Wade’s conversation about romance now moved to after Scott and Jean’s kiss. References to Vanessa kissing Wade removed.

-Trimmed ‘Fridging’ conversation so it fits in with Mystiques death and not Vanessas’. Deadpool now recognises the trope and reacts immediately to it while Fred explains what just happened.

-After Magneto is informed of Raven’s death, we cut to Wade and Fred discussing Matt Damon

-Added in voice overs from Wade at random parts of the movie, including Deadpool laughing at Xavier being forced to walk.

Not gonna lie, I think Dark Phoenix would have worked better if all the newly shot footage for Once Upon a Deadpool was used for the former instead.

Some of the linking material really has no business working as well as it does for this. Only a few minor nips and tucks are required.
