So why is 94-year-old Betty White giving a crude two-thumbs-up review to a superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character?
As gamesradar.com explained, “This might seem like a simple ‘look at the sweet old lady cursing’ joke, but Deadpool’s history with ‘The Golden Girls’ (of which White is the only surviving member of the main cast) actually dates back more than a decade.“In the world of Marvel comics, our delightful Merc With A Mouth has quite the fondness for the late Bea Arthur in particular, having named a ship after her and regularly commenting (or fantasizing) about her beauty.”
Gamesradar.com called it a gag that the Deadpool marketing team honored when ‘The Golden Girls’ celebrated 30 years.
According to its YouTube description, the movie is based on Marvel Comics’ “most unconventional anti-hero.”
Deadpool tells the origin story of “former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.”
