Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are everywhere 😂

[temite]

I love that this is actually on National Geographic. Brilliant marketing.

[ginabrown]

Well was not expecting this on National Geographic but hey it works

[jjstarrprod]

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHICS, NOW ??? Ok, Ryan Reynolds marketing team is out of this world.

Fun Fact: Squirrel Girl, in the mainline comics universe (616), she gifted an actual wolverine to Laura Kinney aka X-23 aka Wolverine and her “sister” Gabby Kinney.

LOL. Is that ryan Reynolds narrating, wait hes talking about a wolverine, wait GOT ME!!!

[squashmallow]

According to Shawn Levy, this was supposed to be another one of the variants that Deadpool met. The idea was that Wade would try to walk up to it to recruit it, and then he'd get viciously mauled.

Bro I thought I was tripping for a sec when I heard the narration. I was like *”Is that.. Is that Ryan Reynolds?”* and then I finally realized it was a joke about the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie. 💀💀

0:47 Nice reference to Squirrel Girl 🐿🌰

[Irishdrivingbloopers]

What did you expect? Yellow spandex? 🤣🤣🤣

Wolverines have a unique defense mechanism. They have scent glands near their tail that can release a terrible smell, similar to a skunk. This smell is used to ward off predators and mark their territory.

The next Attenborough, everyone! But listen, Ryan, despite your feud with Mr. Jackman, even the wolverine the animal is not to be messed with.

[ladyofthemasque]

XD I am genuinely in awe as well as amused by the sheer *creativity* of the PR/advertising team for Ryan Reynold's version of Deadpool...and I am absolutely giving the editors who chose those specific shots a standing ovation for the *perfect* timing of it all, especially those fourth-wall-breaking, look-at-the-camera moments of silent "commentary" by Wolverine, there...

[Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Wolverines are such majestic beasts. I hear their weasel sound. It's like an angel sighin'. I have no choice, I hear their growls.
Feels like flying.

[YoshiAngemon]

I like how at 0:58, the wolverine just looks up at the camera, as if it realizes what Deadpool had just said. You could imagine it going "HMM?"

[junelondon]

When I think Ryan and his advertising for the Deadpool&Wolverine movie had jumped me on EVERY possible occasion now... and then he took over National Geographic.... :o

[someperson]

So this is the true comic accurate wolverine.

[kurtsudheim]

They're basically the snow version of the honey badger! They're usually calm, but only get aggressive when something interferes with it, you need to introduce a predator

[FigsofHiggs]

LOVE that Nat Geo had a sense of humor about this—perfect collab. …now still looking for an actual wolverine documentary but nice little sidetrack.

[princessdissonance]

I'm so happy they mentioned Squirrel Girl! I love her so much 💙
