Warning
This is not a post for children. Kids, take a hike.
This post contains bad, foul, filthy and unacceptable language - the words that “will curve your spine, grow hair on your hands and maybe, even bring us, God help us, peace without honor.”
This is also not a post for those adults who are offended by this type of language. Do yourself a favor, and go read some of my cute stuff before moral outrage can kick in.Just about everything else on this blog is clean…Stupid sometimes, but clean.
End of Warning.
Continuing from last week's entry in the George Awards for profanity in film this year, the 2024 film that eclipsed all others in this category needs mentioning.
Considering every other entry in the franchise combined contained only 0.8% of the use of the word "fuck" in the MCU and Deadpool and Wolverine (most of them by lead actors Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman) had the rest, it needs acknowledgement. 
The key impressive part is - with that volume, still having a few uses stand out above the rest was a triumph. In this case there are three key unique moments summarizing the audience's feelings, and one call back.
A) Deadpool's reaction to FINALLY seeing Hugh Jackman wearing a comic book accurate Wolverine costume was the same as the rest of us in the theaters.
"Oh look at those jammies.
*Stares at camera*
That only took twenty fucking years."
B) Deadpool's accurate assessment of a certain actor's treatment by the movie branch of the parent company of the "Distinguished Competition."
"The Cavillrene!
The legends are true.
And may I say, sir, on behalf of all of humanity this just feels right!
We will treat you much better than those shitfucks down the street."
C) The momentous use of by Wolverine of a statement before he and Deadpool fought in the wasteland, showing he was as ready to participate as we all were to see this combat.
"Let's fucking go."
It actually made it into the advertising campaign.
And was used excellently later on by Laura (Dafne Keen) to demonstrate she also truly is The Wolverine in the middle of Gambit's (Channing Tatum's) unintelligible but still clearly profane utterances. Can we PLEASEEEE get her a solo film?
Now for the call back. Wesley Snipe's Blade returned and uttered a repeat of a moment from 1998 in what is almost the earliest George Award worthy f-bomb drop in a Marvel property. (As much as I love Howard the Duck it lacked the profanity to reach this acclaimed moment.)
"Some motherfuckers still trying to ice skate uphill."
The earliest moment was shortly before, and far funnier, when Deacon Frost reattached his halves after Blade bisected him, and Snipes silently mouthed:
"What the fuck?"
One final George Award shout out, to Chris Evans as the Human Torch for being so excited about getting to blast out a profane rant (something he's never usually allowed to do) that he memorized a magnificent torrent for this Disney owned property:
Cassandra Nova. A megalomaniacal psychotic
asshole. A finger-lickin’ dead-inside Pixie slab of third rate dime-store
nut-milk and I’ll tell you what she can do...
Deadpool- “I’m listening.”
Torch- “She can lick my goddamn cinnamon ring clean and kick rocks all the way
to bald hell.
In fact, I don’t give a shit if she
removes all of my skin
and pops me like some nightmarish blood balloon.
If the last thing I do in this god-forsaken
cum-gutter of an existence
is light that fuck-fox on fire, I still won’t die happy.”
Deadpool- “Holy shit, girl. You crazy.”
Torch- “That’s right, Wade.
I won’t be happy til I’ve urinated on her freshly
barbecued corpse
and husk-fucked the charred remains while gargling Juggernaut’s
Jugger-nuts.”
Deadpool- “Wow.”
Torch- “And you can quote me.”
Speaking of Disney owned properties, come back next week for a rare salute to classic animation in these awards.
