Just wondering, what are people's thoughts on the upcoming Deadpool movie?
I've never been a great comic book fan, apart from Deadpool, who I just find great.
Ryan Reynolds is apparently a fan of the character and has put a lot of work into him, plus I read the directors are going along the Guardians of the Galaxy route, where it's got a good balance of action and humour.
Deadpool, even in the comics has always been pretty funny, always breaking the fourth wall, addressing the reader and writers directly, even going as far to acknowledge he's a fictional character.
I've got high hopes for this one and the trailer has done nothing but reinforce that!

Just a quick background for you Ed!
If you've seen the Wolverine film, where He and Sabertooth fight the other mutant on that cooling tower, well the other mutant was Deadpool.
A terrible, terrible version of Deadpool.
Ryan Reynolds took the chance to do the new one, because he's a fan of the character and wants it done right!
There are so many Deadpool origin stories, but because the character is actually slightly insane, he can't remember his backstory anyway, so they just piece it together!
The most common one Is as follows;
Deadpool is a former special forces solider named Wade Wilson (that's what they think, in one story, an enemy of his shows up and says that HE'S Wade Wilson and Deadpool just beat him up and took his name) he gets put into an experiment to cure him of his cancer, the experiment is called project X and gives him superhuman regeneration, he's also now immune to all diseases and illness.
But the regeneration means that no cells can die, so whilst his healthy cells live, the cancerous ones do too and leave him looking horribly scarred.
He already has his military training, but the project enhances his agility and ability to fight with swords, plus it boosts his marksman quality.
His main story was getting revenge on the people who experimented on him, because even though he agreed to do it, they lied about the effects.
Deadpool is basically impossible to kill now, he can literally be decapitated and as long as the head is near the body, it will re-attach.
In one book, Hulk smashes his head into a pulp and he regrows it.
The comics have always been full of action, but there's a lot of dark humour there.
He's one of the only characters to of broken the fourth wall and in fact the only one to do it almost every episode.
There's a spin off series where in an attempt to kill himself, he comes out of the books and tries to kill the Marvel writers, so they'll stop writing his story and thus let him die.
When he fights enemies from a different comic, sometimes he'll start reading their comic books, so he knows how they fight and can beat them.
He knows he's a fictional character and uses that to work for him.
In one comic, a master martial artist who has an eclectic memory and can copy any opponents fighting style, loses a fight to Deadpool, he says that because Deadpool is so insane, he doesn't fight normally, he just makes it up as he goes along, which makes him impossible to mimic.
He started off as a villain, but due to fans loving him, became an anti-hero and has gone from strength to strength since then.
Should be a great film!
{Ed001's Note - that does sound like a good film. Might need to be a bit darker than the usual Marvel stuff though, to really work well.}

I wasn't a fan of deadpool. I just think the gimmick is a bit lame that he realises he's a comic book character,and takes away from any sort of story plot when I've read the comics,as there is almost too much concentration on his deadpan,and breaking the 4th wall.
That said I am interested to see how it plays out on the big screen. Origins wolverine was not a great debut for the character (terrible film),I am fearful the same as I am in any Ryan Reynold movie that isn't a comedy/serious movie,that there will be too much focus on being stupid and funny,than developing a plot. (see blade 3,green lantern). Either use him seriously or comically (Buried,smokin' aces, safe house,change up) but not both
