By fypfeed in Movies & TV — March 29, 2025
A Controversy No One Saw Coming
Ryan Reynolds has always had an image as the the king of sarcasm in Hollywood humor, wit, and sharp humor. From his witty social media posts with his wife Blake Lively to his fast-talking antihero character as Deadpool, Deadpool, Reynolds has earned a reputation for crossing the boundary between charming and outrageous. However, a lot of people believe that he has gone over the line.
It is reported that the Canadian actor has been facing a hefty criticism after revealing that his child, Inez Reynolds was the voice of the most shocking scene in Marvel’s Deadpool and Wolverine. The idea of an enjoyable family Easter egg quickly turned into one of the most controversial stories ever to be released from the blockbuster superhero movie.
How The Line Was Revealed
The controversy began the moment Reynolds as well as Director Shawn Levy recorded the official commentary track for the film. When they rewatched a scene that featured Kidpool, the Kidpool, the character Kidpool, Reynolds casually admitted that the voice was only his child Inez who was only seven years old at the time of recording. old when the recording began.
The sequence Kidpool gives is jaw-dropping according to Deadpool standards:
“Hey, when I want your opinion, I’ll take Wolverine’s d**k out of your mouth.”
Reynolds admitted the truth with a sheepish smile:
“Guiltily I am my child Inez. And I am the father of the year for allowing her use this kind of language, and is a credit to her for saying she did not want to say.”
Levy quick to respond:
“I’m so sorry we have to admit that.”
The moment of commentary, which was intended to be a satirical insider’s account, ended up opening the floodgates for criticism once the audience absorbed what was revealed.
The Recording Process: “70 to 500 Takes”
In case the story was not enough to be shocking, Shawn Levy made matters more shocking by revealing how often Inez was requested to repeat the quote.
“Yeah but Ryan, to our discredit, we made Nezzy do — I am not s *****g you — 70 to 500 versions of that line.”
Ryan laughed nervously and made jokes,
“Yeah, I’m going to pay for that later.”
The casual tone of the two men was not enough to alleviate concerns. Many listeners felt that the notion the idea that children were urged to tell sexually explicit jokes repeatedly felt more troubling than hilarious.
Why Fans Are Upset
Reactions have been intense that has spread across Reddit, Twitter, and parenting forums. Although Deadpool was always known for its its raunchy comedy, the idea of involving an actual child and especially the character’s daughter herself — hit an emotional chord.
One Reddit user has outlined the problem:
“There’s no need to speak that line by herself. The character is wearing masks and no visible mouth. It could have easily been dub-dubbed with .”
Another writer wrote:
“She’s exactly the identical age to my child. I can’t think of anything that could make me allow my child tell me this. .”
Others focussed on Reynolds confessing Inez initially was hesitant to use the phrase:
“That alone is sufficient. She claimed she didn’t want to but they forced her to take it on. Intent doesn’t matter. It’s a joke about sexuality. Children should not be placed in that situation. .”
Some of the most extreme reactions were those who claimed that the decision permanently changed their view of Reynolds:
“Wow. This is disgusting to me that I’ll keep thinking about it every time I look at him. .”
The “Just a Joke” Defense
A few fans were adamant about Reynolds and argued the fact that Deadpool is a thriving franchise that thrives with outrageous, boundary-pushing comedy. They also argued that the show itself is so clearly fictitious that no harm was caused.
A few people suggested Inez wasn’t old enough grasp the meaning behind the words she was uttering — a claim which was immediately rejected by critics. One parent posted online:
“That’s exactly what’s wrong. She didn’t understand. This means that the adults used that knowledge to create an ill-informed joke. This isn’t funny. .”
The division has resulted in Marvel as well as Reynolds fans in a heated discussion. One side, Reynolds’ humorous, self-deprecating style of parenting has been an integral part of his public image. On the other hand Deadpool‘s absurd humor extended to a real-life child is a step too far for a lot of.
Child Actors and Hollywood’s History With Boundaries
The issue also touches upon an issue that is more widespread within Hollywood in the sense that children’s voices are employed in films that have adult themes. Although studios frequently employ children actors in R-rated comedies and dramas, these performances are generally carefully controlled by a script that is rehearsed by adult actors or altered to ensure the safety of the child.
Critics claim the argument that Reynolds and Levy didn’t take advantage of these protections. Even the fact that Inez was later enthusiastic her decision to initially refused to speak out has raised concerns regarding coercion.
Cultural commentators have noted that entertainment has a long tradition of forcing young actors into uncomfortable or insensitive situations to gain “realism” or “shock value.” The Deadpool & Wolverine incident, according to them is a contemporary instance of how the boundaries are not clear even if the child is the actor’s daughter.
Reynolds’ Reputation On The Line
Ryan Reynolds is no stranger to controversy, but typically Reynolds is able to turn it into humor or humour. The image he has of an devoted father -often joking over parenting via social mediais a key element of his image.
The news, however, does not sit well with the current image. People who used to see his humor in the form of humor for parents as humorous now wonder if it conceals a questionable judgement.
A few insiders of the industry worry that the incident could leave an odour on his career even if the backlash dissipates. In a world where celebrities are constantly scrutinized for their conduct towards others and especially children, the implications of this particular decision are clearly negative.
A Divided Fandom
Some aren’t ready to make a decision to revoke Reynolds due to the incident. The most ardent Deadpool fans argue that the Deadpool franchise was built on shock value, and that Reynolds has never claimed to be a different person. They believe that the outrage was an overreaction — a further instance that the web has blown up a small incident out of the realm of.
However, for children’s advocates, parents and other moviegoers who are more cautious, the problem is less about the movie itself, as much about the decision to engage children in the same scene.
This divide has made the conflict more apparent since both sides delve into Facebook and Twitter, as well as debate on the morality of engaging children in adult-themed comedy.
Where Does This Leave Deadpool & Wolverine?
The film has been a huge box-office success, and has been praised for its comedy and action as well as the relationship with Reynolds with Hugh Jackman. But the Inez discovery has become among the top talked about talk-show topics, eclipsing the films most famous action scenes.
If the controversy actually hurts the film’s legacy is yet to be determined. The one thing that is certain is that the discussion surrounding the movie will never go away.
Conclusion: A Lesson In Boundaries
The Ryan Reynolds daughter controversy highlights an issue bigger than one film: where should the line be drawn with regard to adult and children’s content?
To some people, this is just another shocking part of the Deadpool story. Others see it as an alarming instance that shows how Hollywood as well as sometimes well-meaning parents can put kids in roles they shouldn’t in.
Ryan Reynolds himself brushed it off with jokes, but the fans aren’t laughing. It’s true that the “father of the year” statement could be sarcastic, however the internet has stated it clearly that this was a joke that didn’t make it to.
