“Deadpool”-fan skrev idéen til “Once Upon a Deadpool” for et år siden.
Den 7. december i 2017 tweetede M. V. Bramley, at hvis Ryan Reynolds ville blive tvunget til at lave en børnevenlig “Deadpool”-film med PG-13-censur, så kunne han bare kidnappe Fred Savage og genbruge rammefortællingen fra “The Princess Bride”.
@VancityReynolds If Marvel forces you to make a PG-13 Deadpool, just copy the framing device from The Princess Bride and have Deadpool censoring it for Fred Savage as a bedtime story. A kidnapped adult Fred Savage. There, I fixed it.

Et år senere udkommer “Once Upon a Deadpool”. En PG-13-udgave af “Deadpool 2”, hvor Deadpool kidnapper Fred Savage til en rammefortælling som den i “The Princess Bride” – se selv første teaser til “Once Upon a Deadpool” lige her.
Bramley mistænkte derfor Ryan Reynolds for at kopiere idéen uden så meget som en tak.
I mean… maybe @VancityReynolds had the idea first, but it's fucking eerie how I didn't get a single detail wrong in my summary. Plagiarism? I hope not. I fuckin' love Ryan Reynolds. Cryptomnesia maybe? Can I at least get some premiere tickets please? #deadpool #detectivepikachu

Den beskyldning fik Ryan Reynolds til at tage kontakt til Bramley, hvor “Deadpool”-stjernen forsikrede om, at der blot var tale om et utroligt tilfælde.
.@VancityReynolds and I had a brief talk and I believe he was as confused as I was. It seems like this may all just have been a big, insane coincidence and I'm happy to leave it at that. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie in December! #deadpool #onceuponadeadpool

Bramley forklarer derfor nu, at han hverken er sur eller går med planer om at sagsøge Ryan Reynolds. Han er bare forvirret, hvilket han næppe er ene om!
Just a friendly reminder that I have no (never had any) intention of trying to sue Ryan Reynolds, Disney or any of its subsidiaries. I'm also not angry, I'm more amused/confused at this point. #deadpool #marvel #Disney #ryanreynolds #stopgivingmelegaladvice
