Deadpool Storyline is Dead

Rating: 6/10 (9 May 2009)

Origins was a good movie, but not as good as most people expected. One character, well, two characters are one in the same. Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) becomes Deadpool in the Marvel comics, but has nothing to do with Weapon XI. In the movie, six years after Wolverine and Sabertooth's glory days with William Stryker, Wade Wilson is kidnapped and has a lot of mutant powers pooled into him. This is how he becomes Deadpool or Weapon XI. I'm not sure if there will be a sequel of some sort in which Weapon XI becomes the original Deadpoool or not, but even though movies don't always follow story lines, this one was destroyed. Throughout the Marvel comics, Deadpool pops in and out, but how would he be able to do that if his body is lying decapitated in the ruins of a nuclear reactor? Other than that, the movie was fairly good, but if you are a comic book fan, wait until it comes to DVD.
