• Problem is, MCU being MCU they’ll try to replicate it with different characters and it’ll be a hot, embarrassing mess.

    I don’t think they can fuck up anything with Ryan in it anymore. He’s tasted failure once already, and now has too much clout to be in something truly bad. But Marvel will try with something else.

    The secret to Deadpool, in the movies anyway, is that he kills people. I mean, next to Iron Man and his snap, Deadpool is pretty generous in doling out death in a way no other film MCU “Hero” can get away with. I just don’t think Marvel will be successful in replicating that, or the one-liners, the irreverence. But they’ll try. And fail.

      Even if his meta sarcasm grates on you, it’s still witty, nonsensical, yet violent enough to have mass appeal.
