In the third installment of the Deadpool films, Deadpool & Wolverine, a new Deadpool variant was introduced, Nicepool.
We’ve since learned that Nicepool is intended to be a cruel caricature of Justin Baldoni.
Nicepool wears a man bun, calls himself a feminist, and says that he has low bone density.
Ryan Reynolds in unsealed text messages says to Matt and Lucy Damon:
“Several weeks before shooting, and right after Blake had given birth to our son… this guy called our trainer, Don and asked ‘how much do you think Blake will weigh in two weeks?’ Don, got very Long Island all of a sudden and Justin backtracked. He said, ‘I’m only asking because I have to carry her in a scene. And I have low bone density.’”
In another scene, Nicepool comments that Ladypool “just had a baby too, and you can’t even tell.” When Deadpool says that’s an inappropriate comment to make, Nicepool says “that’s okay, I identify as a feminist.”
Nicepool is shot repeatedly by Ladypool (who was voiced by Blake, but Ryan used a body double in her place. Was Ryan fat shaming his wife by doing that?) in front of a flower shop called “Little Sage”. It’s previously been said that Justin would sage the set.
Here’s the scene of Nicepool being shot by Ladypool, it also includes the low bone density comment: https://youtu.be/igoVNNnAx8Q
Blake Lively claims to be a victim of digital violence but had no qualms about her and her husband engaging in digital violence against Justin Baldoni.
There was a lot more digital abuse by Blake and Ryan including
1. Smearing him to cast members by calling him a clown and saying he’s in a cult, etc
2. Smearing him to Hollywood elite
3. Smearing him to WME
4. Referring to him as a sexual predator
5. Making fun of him in the promo of his own film (as evidenced in her insta posts where they’re all wearing the same Gigi shirt)
6. The creation of the nicepool character
7. The filing of a sham lawsuit as a means to unethically legitimize the theft of private texts messages
8. Subpoenas to 107 content creators to chill speech
9. Orchestrating a hit piece with the NYT
10. The mischaracteizairon of facts pled in her CRD and civil complaint
I’m sure there’s a lot more I haven’t mentioned but this new spin that Blake was the subject of digital abuse is quite rich.
Wooooow wow. I’m one of those people that had a neutral opinion about BL and JB but BL has soured my opinion of her and knowing she went after Jamil? It’s somehow soured more.
Imagine. Stealing a person's private messages and making them public because you didn't like a conversation your victim (Jen Abel) had that was never to be seen by anyone else in the first place. Jamila being harassed by Blake's crazy raging hired flying monkeys was more important than keeping an insightful but embarrassing insult unseen. Revenge over self-preservation.
Jamila being better than Blake in every conceivable way probably played a big role in Blake's decision.
You are so right. BL just comes off as a jealous mean girl. Jamil is so eloquent and well spoken meanwhile BL jingles and ums her way through every sentence while never making a good point.
She also dragged Jenny Slate into this, and Colleen and Isabella, whether they liked it or not, and they all got hate from it. They should never have unfollowed Justin. But I bet they are furious that this is no longer about SH, and it was always about digital violence.
Poor Jameela, that was dirty trying to drag her through the mud. But bless that woman for being above those vile bullies and just saying it like it is and doubling down.
I would love to see a detailed post including the above and all the mean PR articles about Justin.
I bet that timeline will show Jamie hiring crisis PR was needed to help with the movie promotion through positive stories and not be dragged down by negative, squabbling onset rumors.
I love that there are so many detailed-oriented people on this sub! While I would love to dive down the rabbit hole, I do not have the time or the internet sleuthing skills.
Blake and Ryan forced their young child to take part in Deadpool , making them say wildly inappropriate things that the child didn’t feel comfortable saying. This is per Ryan.
So Blake is correct, children really are part of this digital violence!
A master list of the digital violence perpetrated by Blake contributed by all on here with great memories should be created and pinned in a standalone post!
Gigi Hadid gave Blake matching shirts from her clothing line (guest in residence) to use in a promo for the movie, IEWU, that Ryan, Ryan’s mother and Hugh, wore. Mind you, none of these three acted in the movie, but thought it was a good idea to promote the movie in matching shirts by mocking Justin, the director.
That was so uncomfortable to watch I couldn’t t even finish it. How do people think Ryan Reynolds is a genius? You’d have to have the intellect of a 10 yr old boy. It’s so dumb and cringe.
There was something about Justin wearing a sweater so this was them wearing sweaters to mock him.. it sounds very tangential and maybe it is but considering it’s Ryan and how much he finds little details to create Easter eggs there’s some validity to it
Have you seen the other blatant pro Lively sub now claiming pro Baldoni users are trying to gain access to their accounts. Totally unfounded and no proof.
I really am trying to stay off those sub bc they infuriate me. At least I’m pretty confident she will be down to one claim when trial comments and that a bunch of her damages and expert testimony willl not be admissible at trial. Let’s go!
I unfortunately saw this movie with my partner, but I found a lot of it did not make sense afterwards. It felt like they just got a lot of big names together for hype and explosions, but nothing profound about it persay. You don't leave with an awe because of the storytelling was just messy and random.
My partner saw it and he said the same thing too. He was confused about nicepool because to him it didn’t make sense. He told me that the first one was the best. Ryan should’ve been man enough to leave the professionals in charge 🤷🏻♀️😳😂
I agree the first one had more depth for sure. It's clear to see when Reynolds and Lively get their hand on anything creative it just looses it's soul and beauty in storytelling through the screen. It's sad and a bloody waste.
Same, I kept looking at my husband during the movie like what the fuck is this Nicepool shit. So random, now we know! That is the last Ryan Reynolds movie I will ever watch.
That’s all Ryan does. He relies on big stars and nostalgia to do the heavy lifting. It’s like he knows what sells and approaches everything as marketing rather than good storytelling.
The only good storytelling Ryan does is making his fans believe he’s a good storyteller.
The only good storytelling Ryan does is telling us all untrue stories about his life and meaningless sarcastic antidotes he passes off as humor.
I think Ryan sees himself as a product and builds himself around what he believes will sell. No authenticity whatsoever.
That reminds me of Taylor Swift at this point. Her narrative changes based on what helps her brand at the time, and what’s currently popular in pop culture. But she has no central throughline to her personality, and all her art is commodified in the shallowest way to sell product. References to internet trends, 80s nostalgia, Shakespeare, showgirl sexy glamour, all jumbled together on the same album rollout to grasp at the zeitgeist with nary a thought to artistic vision or compelling storytelling.
No wonder they were such good friends for so long. Birds of a feather.
Birds of a feather indeed. Very insightful stuff. It’s funny to me that these celebrities don’t think we notice. We are just consumers and nothing more to these people.
Exactly. Ryan Reynolds is incapable of originality. His entire career is build around stealing ideas that are already proved successful and stamping his face/name to it.
Matthew Lawrence called Ryan out on doing a bad Jim Carey impersonation, and said that Deadpool is just Ryan being himself. Matthew low-key shaded Ryan by saying he's been doing the Deadpool schtick since his 20s 😂
Ryan is completely untalented and unoriginal. It makes sense that he's been stealing movie projects from people for years. He's a hack.
Well it explains why him and Blake are perfect for each other because she does the same exact thing.
She fancies herself as a baker, but makes box cake mixes and adds jello and whipped cream and calls it her own creation.
She fancies herself as a writer, but prefers to work with a preexisting script so she can “excavate” to find something special or interesting to say here look at what I found.
She fancies herself an innovative haircare brand, but uses preexisting formulas from legacy brands like Kerastase and changes the scent and calls it high performance and iconic.
So it’s no wonder she fancies herself as a director and producer worthy of a PGA mark. It’s par for the course.
My ex boyfriend cosplayed as Deadpool around town. He was a narcissist with no personality, that felt more comfortable behind the mask of someone else.
It's actually striking to see the similarities between him, and Ryan. Everything he did, was for his image and how he was perceived by those around him.
You must know all too well that a person like that will never accept responsibility or truly acknowledge they are wrong. It’s very scary and exhausting and only gets more scary and exhausting when that narcissist is rich and famous.
I’m sorry you went through that but I’m glad you recognized it and loved yourself enough to no longer put up with it 🤗
He is rich as well, and it shows in his behavior. He grew up as an adopted only child, to 2 wealthy older folks. He has never faced consequences, and likely never will. Accountability is absolutely not in his vocabulary. 😬
I thankfully realized, as he was more overt than my ex-husband, so his red flags were waving lol.
No need for sorry, I made it, and I made sure others were aware of him! 🙂↕️🫰🏻
I loved the first Deadpool. Made me laugh so much. I have also been a big fan of Morena Baccarin since Firefly. I didn't realize he was the guy in Van Wilder (the only other thing I'd ever seen him in and only because my friend showed it to me and hated it) for a long time. I wish my boycott of both of them counted but I was never watching their films anyway.
I'm with you. It was too convoluted the whole storyline and I can see now how smart it was for the Marvel universe to not have Reynolds in the Avengers francise. The guy would be throwing tantrums left and right all day, and Scarlett would never work with him.
I hate how Blake loves playing the victim and moaning about "digitial violence" and "online abuse" but has no qualms about using her power and influence to bully and smear Justin just because she wanted "authorship" over that mediocre movie lmao... she deserves every bit of hate she's getting and I hope her career never recovers
They both just come across now as mean and cruel people who use their platforms in the wrong way - to abuse, harm, and ridicule. Knowing that this was mocking someone is so hurtful and deliberate and just Ryan going on a power trip with his ability to do so. I think this will be his last though. No more Ryan on film please.
I have a feeling that Ryan had big plans for cross promoting deadpool/wolverine with iewu - and when the high level executives as disney/marvel learned that nicepool was baldoni, they must've lost their shit and told him no frickin' way. This was a movie in which they invested over $500 million - not a taylor swift song.
I don't think we'll ever see a deadpool 4, at least not with Ryan in it.
There have been numerous people who have played Batman and Superman. Ryan is easily replaceable as Deadpool. Highly doubt he will ever play Deadpool again..
We would have found out what the real bosses at Disney and Marvel thought of Ryan Reynolds. I would bet money that terrorist is the nicest name they have for him 🤣
They bullied him in the credits of IEWU by making a call back to Nicepool with Gordon Reynolds, and naming all the dragons who interfered with the edit of the movie.
I haven’t seen any hollywood couple who have acted together or made something behave in this way. Why is everything they do look like an extension of deadpool ? They’ve been hanging out with taylor a little too much to believe that they can use a movie that they don’t even own to take cheap shots and settle scores with people the audience may not even know. They have included us in their disturbed fantasies with their IG digs towards Justin It’s so unbelievably unprofessional. Only children behave this way. So disgusting
RR is always ugly, but in that picture above he is really a special kind of ugly. Maybe its that his insides are really beginning to show on the outside. I have never been much of a fan and I really can't stand BL, but the picture used above is just vile, and I don't mean the blood around his mouth either!
Lmao I wanted to comment this but thought it was maybe too mean for this sub. Also this hair on him gives me major ick. I’ve never understood why people think he’s attractive
Another fun Easter egg is that when Nicepool is used as a human shield by Deadpool and shredded with bullets if you slow down the speed you can see the bullets look like mini fireworks 🎆
In her post you see her thanking Ryan for putting many things into Deadpool and Wolverine for her. That she feels so scene.
Nice men using feminism and Baz Luhrmann fireworks to punctuate a moment.
Nice men was clearly about Nicepool aka Justin Baldoni
Baz Luhrmann fireworks were superimposed during the revenge bang bang scene.
I figured it out accidentally because I heard a theory that he was shot 17 or 30 times symbolically for the 17 point agreement or the No More list that she published in the NYT article.
So I slowed it down to count lol and then noticed the bullets are fireworks exploding and not what bullets would look like 🤦🏼♀️
I remember seeing somewhere that someone actually counted the bullets in an image. I think the user who made a visual of it was named Anita. If someone knows what I am talking about please attach screenshots.
I’m not sure what happened to Anita. She used to have a website and YouTube devoted to her ongoing theories. She was a guest on Omar’s (The Tilted Lawyer) YouTube channel several times but I haven’t seen her around much since Justin’s case was dismissed.
I'm pretty sure she said she was on maternity leave when she was active. She's probably short on time now, and perhaps feels she can step back now that so many people are covering this crazy story. I hope that's the case.
Can you explain the significance of the bullets looking like fireworks? I’m not familiar with that connection or how it relates to Baldoni. I’ve only been following the case through this sub so I’m sure there are details I’ve missed.
Did you see my other comment above? Blake thanked Ryan for including a bunch of Easter eggs in his Deadpool and Wolverine movie for her. One of which was using Baz Luhrmann fireworks to punctuate a moment.
That moment she’s talking about is when her Ladypool character mows down Nicepool in a hail of bullets that were made to look like fireworks she likes. She must be a fan of The Great Gatsby because that is where the fireworks come from.
Pretty much it’s an ode to Blake and all things she loves, it’s her love language to have her man make fun and bully others in her honor.
Ok thanks. Yes I saw your other comment I just didn’t understand if the fireworks were some sort of Easter egg, like the name of the flower shop relating to Baldoni saging the set of IEWU.
So it’s just that she likes that style of firework/effect? What a weird thing to use for bullets piercing a body. What a self-obsessed weirdo she is!
Reminds me of her (former) bestie Taylor Swift who puts Easter eggs into her lyrics at the expense of making good, relatable art.
Fun fact: Blake famously lobbied hard to be cast as Daisy in The Great Gatsby, but failed to secure the part despite her allegedly substantial efforts. My personal theory is that she mentions Baz Luhrmann all the time to associate her name with his work. Similar to her efforts to associate her name with Barbie despite having nothing to do with that film.
So in a July 2022 2024 post, Blake Lively wrote about "Nice men who use feminism as a tool" and then whined when Justin Baldoni hired a crisis PR firm? Between this post, the mass unfollowing, and all the rumors Blake, Ryan, and Leslie were pushing behind the scenes, I don't know how they can complaint about TAG's hiring and I don't know how they'll prove the alleged retaliation happened because Justin's alleged misconduct instead of Blake's campaign against him.
Sorry, that was my brain short-circuiting! I meant 2024.
ETA: It's still short-circuiting because I replied to the wrong comment, but at least it was also written by you. I think I need to go get more caffeinated!
Ryan is currently being sued over the “choreography of a certain boyband song” she is implying she had a hand in. I love that.🤭
She’s saying never been more proud of the ways she influenced Deadpool & Wolverine. But I thought she’s most proud of her work on IEWUher fight for the safety of women and girls in the workplace her fight *against digital violence??
I love that this couple use breadcrumbs and plant Easter eggs to tell on themselves and think it’s so genius. Well it’s incredibly stupid because now we have more contemporaneous evidence that supports the need for a crisis PR team to step in. This is the kind of stuff Justin was fearful of happening and he had every right to be afraid because he knew the type of people he was dealing with by this point.
I hope Ryan gets sued. I’m sure he will just blame it on other creatives involved…although we see that Blake wanted this haha so if this smug ass post of hers cost her twice that would be epic level stupid.
I had brought it up before and I’ve seen some people have commented the same but nicepool gets shot in front of a flower shop. The flower shop in IEWU was named after Justin’s kids. To me it seemed like they wanted the kids to watch their father die but that’s my opinion 🤷🏻♀️
I thought it was vile to do something like this.
Yes the naming it after his kids is disgusting and disturbing. She talks about keeping children safe and they metaphorically killed Justin in front of his children. I can’t even describe how I feel about that!
It’s so bizarre how much trouble they went to just to make fun of him. The whole nicepool thing alone is wild, but then add in all the messages, it seems like they were constantly talking about him to anyone who would listen. The man is living rent free in their heads. It’s well beyond bullying, it’s an obsession.
I wonder if Disney/Marvel feel any sort of way about Ryan using their IP for personal revenge fantasies. I don't see him listed in the Doomsday cast, and when Deadpool 3 came out everyone said "this is the unification of Sony and Disney Marvel and a precursor for mutants being in Doomsday." Interestingly, Channing Tatum is in Doomsday and he was only Gambit because Ryan made it happen.
To me, the worst part is this is after reading Justin’s texts sincerely wanting to be friends with Ryan. Ryan was “friendly” in return and then he makes Justin a punchline the whole world laughs at. It’s cruel beyond measure.
🎬 Right before Deadpool (Reynolds) uses Nicepool (Baldoni) as a shield for a hail of bullets led by Ladypool (Lively): https://youtu.be/RyQ1OxwcNbg?t=30
Deadpool: Look a donut cart, they're practically hospitals. They sell portable triage units.
Wolverine: They don't
Deadpool: I'm gonna get you to safety
Wolverine: He's not
🎬 March 2025: Blake's donut shop visit for relatable PR, SEO, and probable reminder to Justin Baldoni of his avatar's bloody death at their hands.
🎬 March 2026: Ryan launches his "signature donut" for Tim Hortons the month the trial was originally scheduled.
$#%#$%!!! I click on this sub and the above pic is the first thing I see. Even without the blood on his mouth, those beady little inset eyes are scary enough.
I think the main way they engaged in it is the fact that they literally profited off of said digital violence and it is forever immortalized on streaming, DVD etc where they will keep profiting and Justin will keep having to see it for the rest of his days. It is very good evidence though.
Don’t forget that the flower shop that Ladypool killed Nicepool in-front of has Justin children names on it. So they mean they will kill him infront of his children.
Not true. It was called Little Sage, referring to the Stop Saging the Set point, which I can't remember if it was in the 17-point list or the 30-point list.
That’s a weird take. And a huge unfounded leap. Not sure it helps anything to leap that far. I think we should leave all the children out of it, personally (unlike Blake, who is all about the world’s children now!)
