Many people will say this is because of the need of the plot, but I don't think so. For an IP-based movie like Poké mon Pikachu, "plot needs" is not the top priority, even if the plot is adapted to planning and production.

So why did the movie end with such a Huang Shu playing Pikachu in Soft MengMeng? This actually involves two issues: "energy" and "good".

The first is "can". As we all know, Nintendo, the parent company of Baokemeng, has a black history occasionally, but its essential positioning is "family fun" and "suitable for all ages". Recently, the control of the content of works has become more and more strict; Ryan, the actor of Deadpool, seems to be born with a "restricted" aura. However, we carefully observed the producers of the film and found that: first, the film was jointly produced by Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros., that is to say, this is a typical Hollywood film, and the creator should have considerable voice; Second, the docking party of the film is not Nintendo's own club, but its subsidiaries, Bao Club and Bao Club (International). In other words, the old man delegated power here, giving the subsidiary considerable independence; Third, although Pikachu in this drama is full of uncle habits, the script is quite restrained and does not involve swearing, violence and pornography. Even the addictive drink is coffee, not ordinary alcohol. Therefore, letting Ryan play Pikachu will not affect Nintendo's "all-age" image, and will naturally get permission.

After that, it is "ok". Even if Ryan can play Pikachu, what is his motivation? In other words, what's good about it? I think, on the one hand, it is contrast. Pikachu's image has always been cute, but becoming an uncle in the film will produce a special image tension and look more dramatic, which also makes Pikachu in a few "normal States" in the film look more and more cute. On the other hand, it is topical. Through proper publicity and "spoiler", "Pikachu is actually an uncle?" It will naturally attract people's attention, bring more attention, discussion and flow, and further drive the box office. Finally, one more thing, Ryan is already a hot actor in Hollywood, and his popularity, image and acting skills are excellent choices. So it is not surprising that he can perform "Uncle Pikachu".
