![]() ![]() I feel you, Guy, I wouldn’t wanna jeopardize a friendship with Lil Rel Howery either, but he’s got a stellar friend resume, so I’m sure he’s gonna have your back. Of course, I’m also expecting a good dose of feels as Guy comes to terms with his world being a game and what that means for his already established relationships. I’m excited to see Ryan Reynolds have his mind blown by things like “health packs randomly lying around on the sidewalk” and the inexplicable urge to kiss the girl as he becomes more of a hero. I’m really excited for this movie because I have a major soft spot for the self-aware protagonist, especially in mediums that I love such as video games. Is it a glitch in his programming? Absolutely, but sometimes, you gotta go off-script. So Guy decides to take matters into his own hands and become his own person. He’s neither hero, villain, love interest, best friend, or “character created to be fridged so the protagonist gets motivated,” he’s there to, let’s be honest, get run over by a car while we’re being chased by the cops, or if he’s lucky, he gets to say thank you after we stop yet another robbery at his beloved bank. Guy is having one about being an unmemorable, um, guy in the background. Wreck-It Ralph, at least, had the titular character having an existential crisis about being a “bad” guy. This revelation of simply being an NPC does a number on Guy, as to be expected. Why? There’s no answer to that yet, but I predict it’s something along the lines of “low sales” or, if he’s as trolly as Action Heroine Jodie Comer says he is, because it’s Tuesday and he feels like taking an ax to the game servers. He’s the one responsible for creating Guy’s world, you see, but apparently, he has plans of destroying it. This leads to a world-shattering epiphany: he’s inside a video game where Taika Waititi is basically God. In a similar fashion as Wreck-It Ralph, Guy starts to wonder if there’s more to life than wandering the streets of “Free City” just to have his commute interrupted by a random person with a flamethrower. To him, it’s paradise, but to us? It’s basically Grand Theft Auto, particularly the parts where we avoid the story mode in favor of seeing how fast we can hit 5-stars to engage in batshit crazy police chases. Guy lives a life where he starts his mornings with a box of generically named to avoid copyright cereal and heads to work amidst a sea of open-world chaos. Set to release on August 13, Free Guy tells the story of, well, Guy. Watch the all-new trailer for #FreeGuy and see it only in theaters August 13. The world needed a good guy, they got a great guy. Free Guy, aka, “A day in the life of best NPC Ryan Reynolds,” released a new trailer today, putting Ryan Reynolds in his natural habitat of charming video game NPC who doesn’t realize he’s inside a video game.
