I opened my latest Loot Crate today, the February 2016 Loot Crate: Dead. I receive the newest Loot Crate every month to unbox and review. It is something that I have been doing ever since the very first one years ago. Ever since I’ve received some incredible stuff from the Loot Crate company. This month even though I only had use for half the box I still received some great stuff. You’ll notice that I pretty much only photographed the Deadpool stuff and the monthly magazine and the Loot Pin. That was all that was of use to me. Since the theme was Dead this meant that it would include some Walking Dead stuff in the crate. I’m not a fan. And because this month was the month that Deadpool was being released then the other half of the box would have Deadpool related stuff in it. I am a fan. I love the shirt and the special statue. I was even lucky enough to receive the more rare X-Force suit for Deadpool. This is a white suit instead of his usual red one. They must have a really good dry cleaner on X-Force.

As far as the Walking Dead Stuff I have a friend who loves the show and he’d enjoy the Walking Dead stuff inside. I’m not one for zombies, they hold no interest for me. At least I have a friend who will get some use out of the stuff and this month’s box as well. That is Walking Dead related, too.

I am also a very big fan of the new way that Loot Crate does pins. These are now die cast pins instead of buttons and they unlock some additional special items online. Some really excellent additions to an already great crate of loot.

I saw the Deadpool movie today. I have been waiting for this movie to come out for a long time. I think that ever since I saw the leaked footage I was hoping for the movie to be made. I was not at all disappointed. It was action from beginning to end. Despite the fact that Deadpool/Wade Wilson is a character deeply rooted in sophomoric humor he does have heart. I see this in the comic books and I saw it in the movie. The storyline that I’m reading right now is the one done by comedian Brian Posehn. In that you see that Deadpool has heart, too.

Ryan Reynolds is perfect for the role. His delivery is excellent. The movie overall was so much fun and so raunchy. The violence was very tough but not as bad as the trailer for The Purge Election Day. After watching that I was uncomfortable. At least with Deadpool the violence was mostly against the bad guys or mutants who were going to be fine moments later. I loved how many pop culture references there were in the movie. I loved how Colossus was a giant boy scout and his straight man to Wade’s over the top funny man was well matched. I also liked how the movie poked fun at everything. There were some great digs at Ryan Reynolds’ previous super hero roles and the studio and even Wolverine a number of times. If I missed anything it was because the whole audience was laughing and the jokes came rapid fire.
