Have you ever written about Deadpool (the movie) ? If not, maybe write something now?

I don’t know if there’s anything particularly deep to say about Deadpool, but I’ll do a short post:

• First, Deadpool is an impressive feat of economy. While $58 million is a decent budget for most movies, blockbuster action movies, especially superhero movies, have budgets that are several multiples of that. So Deadpool had to do a lot to compensate for lack of spectacle with humor and style – the gag where Deadpool forgets his giant bag of guns in the taxi is a nod to that, because they couldn’t afford to do the big spectacle shootout that they wanted to do.
• Second, Deadpool pulls off the humor. Deadpool’s particular style of humor – a weird blend of “edgy” sex and violence, fourth-wall-breaking and superhero satire, and randomness – is incredibly easy to get wrong and turn people off. (I tend to avoid Deadpool in the comics for this reason.) So it says a lot about the writing and Ryan Reynolds’ delivery that the humor works really consistently throughout the film.
• Third, Deadpool actually has one of the best portrayals of sexuality and romantic relationships in superhero movies, strange as that is to say. Wade and Vanessa’s relationship is straightforwardly sex-positive and kinky and fun without being leering or exploitative, Wade’s decision to disappear to “protect” Vanessa is called out clearly as being the wrong move, and while Vanessa is made a bit of a damsel, the movie goes out of its way to avoid fridging and tragic backstories.
