Not entirely, but kinda? It is a huge hook of the character; take that "peripheral" stuff away, all you have is a costume, and a really, really blatant Deathstroke rip-off.

He still has his quirky attitude of course. That's the part I like.

I liked him in Ultimate Spiderman (and I don't even like Ultimate Spiderman)
and he couldn't slice a single person in that episode and he was still fun to watch.

Maybe people like different parts of his character, I like his personality the best.

It certainly helps if you like that stuff.

He was super annoying in Ultimate Spider-Man though. I hated the way he was portrayed. That was no doubt what a PG-13 movie would have looked like.

I would have been fine with that XD

Well, to me it's like those things are what makes the character stand out, it's all part of how "over-the-top" he is. I mean, I'm nowhere near as deeply invested into the character as most, but I know a little bit, and it seems like taking away the "edgier" stuff does a lot to neuter the character and make him kind of generic. I mean, yeah, sass-mouth, but that's lots of characters, especially Marvel characters. Seems like they're always crackin' wise. He doesn't seem overly unique in that respect.

I'unno. It's kinda like someone saying, "I'm a huge fan of Jenna Jameson, but not her porn work." Well, then... what's left, exactly?

*Candy Kappa* · 04-02-2015, 05:19 PM

The violence is a big part of Deadpool's charm, we are talking about a guy who tried repeatedly to commit suicide by blowing his brains out, and just kept regenerating.

something must be wrong with me then...cause I thought his personality with really unique....

could you direct me to another Deadpool like character then? cause if could find another character with the same personality but none of the extra stuff I hate then I sign me up!

Someone else is gonna have to help you out with that, I'm not a huge Marvel guy. Especially with all the shuffling they do, anything I "know" is probably way out of date.

I do know that some things only "work" under certain circumstances. Like, you couldn't do "Kick-Ass" as anything but an R-rated movie, because it completely erases the entire point. And from what I do know of Deadpool, it sounds quite the same. "You have to do it this way, otherwise, just do a completely different story/character entirely."

hmm never felt that way....I've seen lots of cool things in just a PG-13 movie....and still feel that Deadpool would be fine with that rating.

but hey, if everyone wants an R-rated Deadpool then they should enjoy their R-rated Deadpool XD

I'll just be in the corner enjoying movies like Avengers and Big hero 6 happily. ^_^ no biggie you can't satisfy everyone.

*THGhost* · 04-02-2015, 05:35 PM

Deadpool in Ultimate Spider-Man was basically a Spider-Man clone who broke the 4th wall.

~~Leo656~~ · 04-02-2015, 05:35 PM

I don't think they were trying to satisfy "everyone". Sounds like people who like the character a bunch are pretty happy with the idea, though.

I kinda just try and see every comic book movie regardless. But if they "keep it real" and "by the book", so to speak? Hey, all for it. Never a fan of watering things down to sell a few more tickets to people who wouldn't "get it" anyway. Then you get "Constantine". Brrrrrr.

Y e e a a a h, like, what's the point? Almost said the exact same thing but wasn't sure if I was the only one who felt it, since I'm not really "up" on my USM and all that, thought it might've been me. But yeah, took the words outta my mouth on that one. I feel like if they're gonna do a whole movie about him, the character needs more of a hook than "talks to the audience" or whatever. Otherwise, it kinda is just Spider-Man with swords and guns and stuff.

Just because Deadpool is going to be R-rated, I doubt they are going to the extreme, it's just the level above PG-13, it's not like they are going for NC-17.

I doubt there will be any actual nudity or sex scenes, it's going to be violence heavy where Deadpool can be riddled with bullets, loose an arm and make a funny remark about it as he dishes out pain the only way Deadpool knows best.

Exactly. I've only read Daniel Way's Deadpool comics so far and I haven't seen any graphic nudity or sex in them. An NC-17 rating would be too much. The R rating is perfect. Deadpool without blood & swearing would be like giving Dare Devil his sight back.

~~Leo656~~ · 04-02-2015, 05:41 PM

How about just a couple of comely lasses casually strutting around topless while mobsters do cocaine, like in "Punisher: War Zone"? That seemed organic without being overly distracting, and was also entirely welcome.

*Candy Kappa* · 04-02-2015, 05:42 PM

The things we see in Wolverine vs. Hulk, would have been closer to R-rated in live-action form, where Logan slashes up Deadpool's arm with his claws.

That's not real nudity, though, that's just boobs.

I guess I'm less squeamish if it's animated

"JUST boobs"?! JUST...

"Just" boobs is just plenty, sez I. Boobs are awesome in almost any situation.

Am I reading this right?

The internet has made me dislike the Deadpool character so much, yeah I get it he is self-aware he is a comic book character. I didn't mind him in the past and even found some of his panels funny but now they all seem so forced.
