Donald Glover Posts 14-Page Animated 'Deadpool' Script Mocking Marvel Cancellation
Better move fast to read Donald Glover's "Deadpool: The Animated Series" finale script before he deletes it.
He may not, but there are so many name-drops and Marvel disses ... that it actually reads like the perfect "Deadpool" script. He should keep it up so fans push for Marvel/Fox/eventually Disney to keep the series alive.
You probably saw that FX and the Glovers parted ways over the adult animated comedy series that was planned to run on FXX this year.
Just a couple of days later, Glover tweeted to fans that he was not too busy for "Deadpool," despite his many projects from "Solo" to "The Lion King." He also shared 14 pages of a script that was clearly written or at least doctored in the past couple of days, since it references the cancellation.
Deadpool questions why it didn't work out, during a talk with Sudan the last male white rhino.
"You know, I'm not mad about this whole 'cancelled' thing. I actually think it's a good thing. I mean, is it even a good time to have a violent gun loving white man ranting on TV?
(hard sell)
Other than the PRESIDENT!"
"Do you think they cancelled the show ... cause of racism?!
Yeah, but all the writers were black. And the references were pretty black too. I heard they went over the lunch budget ordering Jamaican food at least once a week.
You're right. Black Panther.
(then)
Maybe we were alienating our white audience?
(then)
No. We did a whole goat yoga episode. Damn. What was it.Nooooo. The Taylor Swift episode? Nah. No. They had to have loved that script."
"What? The Marvel stuff I said in it? All I said was Marvel was trying to sell toys to seven year old boys and fifty year old pedophiles. That's just funny. They're cool. They get it."
"It just feels like everyone wants something different, but no one wants to do anything different to get it. Doesn't Marvel have enough feel-good minority shows everyone supports but doesn't watch? I mean, I think our show woulda been funny. I just wanted a place to be honest.
(tearing up)
And I guess that place is Freeform."

UPDATE: He went and did delete all of his tweets. But fans saved the script pages on social media:
Read the tweets for more. Jennifer Lawrence bit Beyonce, but that's OK because Deadpool hated her anyway.
