Ryan Reynolds Is Pikachu In A Pok ‘mon Buddy Cop Film Because Of Course He Is

Last Fall it was announced that Pok ‘mon spin-off game, Detective Pikachu, would be getting its very own movie, and it was rumored that Ryan Reynolds, actor known for wholesome family films such as Deadpool, was to be cast as the eponymous character. This was a proposition to which the internet responded, “haha, could you imagine? ‘
“But like, actually ‘ the producers replied.
“Haha, sure man whatever you say ‘ we all said.
“No but like…
For real though ‘

*record scratch* fucking WHAT
Honestly, at this point, I ‘m not even really surprised. Donald Trump is president, the world is rapidly becoming uninhabitable , Ryan Reynolds is a film noir Pikachu. This is just where we are as a society now.
“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn ‘t stop to think if they should ‘
The second best thing about this trailer is how upsettingly realistic the pok ‘mon themselves are. I guess it makes sense though, because if they weren ‘t animated to look like creatures pulled from the darkest timeline then Ryan Reynolds voicing the most adorable monosyllabic cartoon character of the 90 ‘s would just be weird.

Just read a full rant about how Detective Pikachu ‘s Jigglypuff shouldn ‘t be ‘furry ‘, and now all I can think about is the terrifying alternative…
Jigglypuff with hairless cat flesh.
Jigglypuff, the singing testicle.
