Right? It makes no sense. I don't know who approved this dud but they must be 7 years old.

So is this the final artwork for the steelbook? If so I'll cancel my order and stick with the standard 4K.

Eh. My guess was Deadpool sitting in a chair with baby legs crossed, but the slip over it would have his actual legs. Oh well.

Hopefully Target saves the day with their exclusive artwork...

My DP1 steelbook has 2 slots. I'll just remove the DVD and put DP2 in there. I can save some money. Thanks Fox!

That's just lazy artwork.

pi2loc · 07-07-2018, 04:36 AM

Where's rickah88 to say that this is the most beautiful artwork he has seen?

jayman3 · 07-07-2018, 01:12 PM

I don't see the issue here. The art style is taken directly from the end credits of the first film

Deadpool 2016 - Movie Ending Credits - YouTube

Yes, same artist did this too, but that doesn't mean it's the ideal artwork for a Steelbook. It works for the end credits because it's actually animated. Taking essentially an animated still and putting it on a cover is not as effective. Aside from that, the imagery itself just isn't that good in my opinion.

I personally don't hate it as much as others, but it wouldn't have even been my 100th choice.

Aww, you mad I like.

Actually I would’ve preferred the Flashdance homage artwork on this, but it works for Deadpool.

I would have preferred the packaging TBD artwork. They really dropped the ball on this one.

Also, I really really hope the title on the spine is still messed up for all the OCD people out there.

Reversed spine is better than the artwork.

Yeah, that would have been great. Maybe a premium steelbook will use that artwork.

Petra_Kalbrain · 07-07-2018, 08:03 PM

I still can’t get over how drastically disgusting this artwork is. I thought that maybe sleeping on it and seeing it the next day might change my mind a bit. Well, it did in a way, I guess. It’s now even worse than my initial reaction!
