    I mean, that’s still a lot of money, and to my understanding the original Deadpool was made on a shoestring budget that was continuously hacked away at by Fox. Like shoestring enough that Ryan Reynolds had to step in and use some his own money to keep the film going at points, it was that dire. I don’t really know if I’m going to give Tim that much of a pity party on this, especially when everybody who worked on Deadpool credits Ryan Reynolds as the reason for its existence.
