Logan, Laura, Russell, and Wade are such a wild found family combo wombo.

Wade is the dad who's always wanted kids but doesn't know how to actually handle them and would gladly encourage the kids to disembowel or burn their high school bullies, no questions asked. He forgets to pick them up at school most of the time, but always shows up at PTA meetings because he remembers that one teacher they off handedly complain about. Whenever he packs them lunch, it's definitely not healthy, but he makes sure there's a lot of it so they never feel hungry. When he hears that they have a crush on someone for the first time, he pulls them aside to have the most insane and cringey but thorough sex ed class they've ever been in -- it ends with him giving them both condoms, dental dams, and a coupon to Adam and Eve. He absolutely loooooooooves being a Karen when it comes to school. Every staff member there thinks he's the worst parental figure they've ever met, but they can say whatever they want. Cause when he does manage to pick them up on time, Laura and Russell have the biggest smiles on their faces as they bum rush him into a big group hug.

Logan is the dad who never really wanted kids but is so good with them because he wants them to be better than him. Also helps that he was still a teacher in The Worst Timeline. Whenever they need genuine advice, they turn to him. Sometimes he rambles or tells a weird anecdote before getting to the point, but he gives his honest advice about whatever they're going through mixed with some wisdom from Charles. He's really good at observing his kids -- knows their tells when they're lying, knows the signs of when they're hangry instead of actually angry, can tell the difference when they're silent or when they've become nonverbal because something really bad happened -- and adjusts accordingly. When Laura starts speaking in rapid, rabid Spanish he'll grab her hand and squeeze it gently so she can calm down from an anxiety attack. When Russell starts impersonating Wade (more than usual) and deflecting questions about how school's going, he'll take him to their favorite burger joint to eventually talk about his bullies. He stays up late, wearing his old man glasses, to help the kids with their homework because he "has insomnia anyways" so he might as well double check their work. He's especially good at history.

I think they all really love each other so much. Don't even get me started on Laura and Russell's sibling relationship. I could write a whole separate post about them and how Russell has such a HUGE big brother complex, is always hyping Laura up at her sport matches, or how Laura always protects Russell at school and he doesn't even know about it.

Anyways, I love found family and I think they're the wackiest bunch of them all.

Deadpool 2 (2018)

[lazlolullaby]

ONE (1) GLARING DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE FAILURE

On GOD WHERE THE HELL IS RUSSELL COLLINS?? WHERE IS MY LITTLE MAN FIREFIST??? FUCK?

What happened??? Saving his ass from becoming a villain was the second half of Deadpool 2!

THERE WAS A CONNECTION, MAN!

He was the bleeding, beating heart of Deadpool 2 and we didn't even get a throwaway line!

Nothing if he went to the X-Men or even just hung around at Wade and Vanessa's until he was 18! No "empty nest" jokes? No Negasonic telling Wade that Russell loves freaking out the mean kids and bonding with the scary ones?

Terrible movie 0/10.

The new current X-Factor is the unlucky superhero team like the redshirt X-Statix. Warren Worthington's new team of X-Factor (consisting of Warren Worthington III, Feral, Rusty Collins, and the two newer mutants, Xyber and Cameo) are the mutant celebrities when they go out on their dangerous mission to stop the Russian Mutant Mercenaries in the mutant arms race. The X-Factor have a disaster at both the Red Carpet and at their first mission. On the meeting at the Red Carpet, the new X-Factor are met with jeers and pelted rotten eggs from both humans and mutants. On their first mission, they go to Kunashir Island at Russia where they fight Darkstar and the mercenary mutants. The first mission ended with a disaster when Cameo and Darkstar's mercenaries accidentally blew up the power plant, causing the deaths and injuries of many mutants. Rusty, Feral and Cameo are killed while Warren was badly injured.

Later on, the newer X-Factor team are on the Red Carpet again with its new members consisting of Havok, Frenzy, Pyro, Cecilia Reyes and Granny Smite the oldest new mutant. Poor Xyber the newest and youngest mutant survivor is traumatized from the first mission yet he's forced to go on another potential dangerous mission with the rest of his substitute team.

💁🏿‍♂️ Since DEADPOOL 2 cast a Maori actor as Firefist, I've been intrigued by the idea of Marvel retconning comic Rusty Collins as Maori.

There aren't many Polynesian characters in Big 2 comics (not even the X-Men, for all its diversity); even if the character remained vaguely tanned/White-passing w/ the reddish-blondish hair (🤔 think KJ Apa) it could add interesting background worth exploring & add deeper, richer context to his time w/ the New Mutants, MLF, etc.

Happy Birthday Red! Tex Avery’s “Red Hot Riding Hood” was released 81 years ago, May 8th, 1943. Featuring Red (beautifully animated by Preston Blair) who has to contest with one of her audience members, a wolf who’s a little too taken with her feminine charms.

Love when my favorite actors are unproblematic. Makes me feel superior in a way

I have one thing lingering in my mind after Deadpool and Wolverine, and that's a lie I have many things lingering in my mind, but one thing that really has nothing to do with the film itself is: where's my boy Russell? Where's my angry son? Where's my troubled prince?

Now, I'm not saying like "why isn't he in the film?" I get that if he showed up it would have been a very small cameo at best. But like what's he doing? Where's he at? Is he in a good place? Is he thriving? Is he winning? Is he hydrated? Is he well-rested? Is he in therapy? How is he? I'm not getting any impressions from fanfiction.

Now, truth be told, I have been sticking to the Poolverine tag so I have no expectation for any fics there to focus heavily on Russell. Like I haven't even filtered in his tag yet.

...okay I just filtered in his character tag and there are ZERO FICS?? I'm still in the Poolverine tag okay but STILL. Logan gets to be a fucking girldad in a good portion of these fics and you're telling me Wade can't be a boydad??? You're telling me in Deadpool 2 Wade and Vanessa were planning on starting a family together before tragedy struck and then Wade gave up on life but then found this troubled boy lashing out due to the same trauma Wade suffered as a child, stoking a fire under Wade and causing him to fight tooth and nail for his future and sacrifice his life for him??? AND NO ONE ELSE IS STILL THINKING ABOUT THIS??

Okay, I'm being a little hyperbolic. There are 75 fics in the Deadpool movieverse that have Rusty Collins tagged. Most of those, I assume he hardly shows up. Goddammit. You're telling me I gotta do it? Myself? Gahh I can't write rahh. I'm illiterate.

I seriously was like 'I must just be missing something' but seriously, no fics really linger much on what happened in the previous movies, and that's a shame. Like out of every fic I have read thus far only one mentioned Wade saving Russell's life and I'm like... you could totally tie that into the themes of Deadpool and Wolverine with Wade feeling like he doesn't matter but he DOES just look at this boy he saved. Maybe Wade finds purpose in advocating for troubled young mutants/mutates that get tossed aside by even the X-Men. Like hell the parallels you could draw between Russell and Logan: given up on by society for their violence in the face of tragedy, written off by everyone but Wade. FUCK. Why do I gotta write it?
