It's one thing having some R rated movies under Touchstone. It's another telling inappropriate BJ jokes inside the park for everyone to hear. They know this but still need to capitalize on that sweet IP synergy . Which is why it's located in a dead corner of DCA. To be clear, im not sure how much of the show I find inappropriate. I only remember that one BJ joke which I find highly inappropriate for a Disney park. I'm guessing that its most likely the most risqué thing he said at the show.
Was this in reference to the standard or holiday version of the show? I don't honestly remember (nor am I entirely sure who brought this particular joke up originally). Did anyone actually transcribe the joke and I just missed it?
For the record, I did see the Holiday show last year and I remember it being quick, breezy, fun, and harmless. If there were bad jokes, they did not stick with me the way it has apparently stuck with others. Perhaps it was an improv? I do get the impression that some shows also have other characters, and some do not, and it certainly
seemed like they were just riffing with one another.
I would say that most kids in general are not going to get jokes about innuendos until they're around middle school age (if they ARE, perhaps their parents shouldn't just let them be on their phones/internet 24/7...). And Deadpool's entire brand is that he is quippy and irreverent, not one to keep any thought he has to himself. So at least it fits the character-and, frankly, the park (so it's not like it's Cinderella saying this in front of the carousel). As said, it's off to the side in Avenger's Campus.
And, I don't know, if something offensive is being said and a child hears it, might I dare suggest it's on the parents a little bit (see also: the aforementioned excessive unmonitored cell phone/internet usage)? People like to pretend that superheroes are kid stuff, but the bulk of these movies are rated PG-13 and up. All the Deadpool films are rated R. No one other than the parents is saying that these movies-or characters-in their modern movie incarnations are for children. Perhaps parents should keep that in mind rather than assume that everything at Disney parks is appropriate for five year olds, something that in any other context I imagine everyone here would agree with. I'm certain anything said in this Deadpool show would still pale in comparison to, say, literally any Knott's Scary Farm show.
People also seem to forget that if you don't like something, it's possible to just...not watch it. Go about your day and walk right by it. Much in the way I walk past Pinocchio blissfully unconcerned about how I'm not riding it. C'est Magnifique!
Finally, it's certainly possible that they've updated the script to remove this joke and people are angsting about nothing (see also: Big Thunder lift waterfall, among many other topics over the years). Perhaps it will come and go without such jokes.
