Rob Liefeld Reacts To New Deadpool and Wolverine Trailer Making Fun of Him

gamerant.com:

The new Deadpool and Wolverine trailer featured several easter eggs, including a dig at the Merc with a Mouth's co-creator Rob Liefeld. Now, Liefeld has taken to social media to reveal what he thinks about the joke made at his expense.

The new Deadpool and Wolverine trailer featured a moment during which the two titular characters walk side by side on a street with damaged buildings behind them. One of the buildings features a sign above the doors and windows that reads, «Liefeld's Just Feet.» The Deadpool and Wolverine easter egg was a dig at the Merc with a Mouth's co-creator, Liefeld, who is commonly criticized for being unable to draw feet.

While some fans might expect Liefeld to be upset about a joke made at the expense of his artistic abilities, it appears Liefeld was aware of the easter egg ahead of time. In a post on X, Liefeld first touted Deadpool and Wolverine's action sequences, writing, «I've been telling everyone how great this movie looks and it’s the BEST action since Winter Soldier. The car fight! Forest fight! The ********** fight! It’ll be up there with the best Comic Book Film of all time!» Liefeld then shared several X posts by other users who spotted the reference to him. Liefeld then responded to a fan who suggested the comic book writer likely laughed at the Deadpool and Wolverine trailer joke. «I'll go you one better, I approved it 9 months ago!» Liefeld explained.

Liefeld's response to the Deadpool and Wolverine trailer joke is not surprising considering Deadpool 2 already roasted his inability to draw feet. During Deadpool 2's convoy action scene, Zazie Beetz's Domino shows off her mutant powers of luck, prompting ridicule from the Merc with a Mouth. «It's certainly not very cinematic,» Deadpool laments about Domino's powers before suggesting a «freak show comic book artist» who «can't draw feet' likely came up with those abilities. If it wasn't clear, Liefeld was also a co-creator of Domino.

So, Liefeld is no stranger to being roasted by
