But hey! We’re talking about Deadpool here. It’s also a puerile, immature, silly, and dumb origin story. Now Deadpool is here and it’s everything longtime fans could want, as well as something that should be a pleasant surprise for folks who only get their superhero kicks at the cinema. Then Reynolds leaked an effects test that nailed the tone on the internet and within 24 hours his pet project got a greenlight. It didn’t look like it would happen, even though Deadpool cosplay started to take over comic cons everywhere as the cult grew for one of the few marquee Marvel properties not given the blockbuster treatment.

For years, sarcasm specialist Ryan Reynolds hoped to bring a proper Deadpool to theatres, complete with the hard-R rating and self-consciousness that the property demands.
JUST CAUSE 2 MODS DEADPOOL SKIN MOVIE
Deadpool has been in movies before, but in a horrible botch job in that Wolverine origin movie that everyone rightfully dismisses. The character came out of the absurd excesses of 90s comics: hyper-violent, snarky, and sexualized however, the book was also self-aware in an oh-so 90s way, with the character frequently breaking the fourth wall and the writers gleefully taking the piss out of superhero funny book clichés. It’s been a long, long journey for Deadpool to make it to the big screen.
