That's f*cking terrible. Why even call him Deadpool? Christ.

I am a crazy-big fan of Deadpool, and I am holding off judgement until I've seen why he is the way he is in this film. They're still talking spin-off movie, and THAT doesn't look like something that could carry a spin-off. Until I know the whole story, that's all I'm saying...

The Merc With a Mouth has no mouth?

So Deadpool is now Mimic?
EDIT: Heck this image from his Wiki almost makes it look like the clip:

And that doesn't at all look like Reynolds.

There's the thing, right? How do you have a spin-off movie with Ryan Reynolds when his mouth is stitched shut?

Here's something interesting...

Reynolds says his role as Wade Wilson evolves into "the creature that becomes Deadpool later on".

Y'know, like you Tristan, I am waiting to see the film for the final verdict, but this is nuts. He has been promoted as being Deadpool since Reynolds was announced in the role. Not to mention the action figures and likely other merchandise labeling him as such. It's kind of a cocktease. Then... then we get this weird monstrosity that doesn't look like a scarred insane madman... but instead Baraka the tribal clown with optic blast action. And the fact that he's well known as being an insane, fourth-wall breaking snarky SOB... and he has no mouth? o.O That's the entire opposite of the character. The worst any of the other characters looks to have been monkeyed with, is a short Sabretooth.

Could be that he doesn't really have a name as whatever that Baraka style version of him is. If Reynolds is half the fan he claims to be (which I don't doubt, he's been trying to get Deadpool happening for a LONG time now), then I don't think he'd do the character the injustice everyone seems to be freaking out about. I have a feeling that he'll eventually become the Deadpool we all know and love, but they're going to give him a drastically different origin.

So long as we get the Deadpool character the way he should be at one point, I really don't give that much of a damn how he gets there. I've always got my comics and the movies have always taken liberties with origins, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but I always find it interesting to see how they go about it.
