The Deadpool Movie We Deserved

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2016)

In an age where comic book movies have taken the box office by storm, the genre had gotten to the point where it had gotten a little stale in terms of the modus operandi, when, thankfully for most of us, along comes "Deadpool". The character of Deadpool himself is a one-of-a- kind comic book character that not only subverts the genre, it goes balls-to-the-wall crazy in his portrayal that transcends its chosen medium and it is apparent to see how those ideals can be implemented in other forms of entertainment. These characters are treated seriously as they are a contemporary concept and perspective of what Greek mythology was in the past and it's understandable, but this does change the fact that these fantastic stories are meant to entertain and Deadpool embraces this ideal, not just to be unique, but as an entire embrace of the medium that can only be done if one does not stick to the guidelines set by the medium itself. As a fan of comic books, and a massive fan of Deadpool in general, this movie just made me so personally thankful that I am alive at a time when a franchise like this not only exists but is enormously successful while doing it.
