Kevin Feige had to clarify a particularly inappropriate joke involving Deadpool and Wolverine to his Disney colleagues.
The joke in question was so risqué that it required some delicate explaining. Kevin, the mastermind behind Marvel’s cinematic universe, found himself in an unusual situation. He had to break down the humor for those not familiar with the edgy nature of these characters. It was a moment that highlighted the differences between Marvel’s more family-friendly content and the mature themes often explored by Deadpool and Wolverine.
Sometimes, people just don’t get certain jokes right away.
Feige’s explanation was necessary because Disney, known for its wholesome image, isn’t typically associated with such adult humor. The joke involved explicit content that clashed with Disney’s usual style. This led to some confusion among his colleagues, who were unaccustomed to this type of material.
Imagine trying to explain a joke that relies heavily on knowing the characters’ histories and personalities. It’s like explaining why a cat meme is funny to someone who’s never seen a cat!
In the end, Feige managed to convey the humor, but it took some effort. His colleagues eventually understood, though it was clear that this kind of humor was outside their comfort zone.
