"... you don't die, do you?" "Nope." "Hurm."

I've never really been a fan of the "I'm a Marvel... and I'm a DC" parody videos (of the Mac/PC ads, natch). Oh, I've found them amusing enough, but rarely anything more than that.

That said... this? I am dying from how awesome this is:



If you don't know Deadpool, let me just say that this is in no way an exaggeration of the actual character. Wade Wilson is like if Freakazoid was put into the Weapon X program. And I, for one, would pay good money to see a Wade/Walter sitcom.

I just wish there was more Comedian. I think he and Wade would have a good rapport. Not to mention how he'd interact with Adrian.

I think this is the voice I'll hear whenever I read Wade, until/unless they do the DEADPOOL spin-off film with Ryan Reynolds, and really let him cut loose. Because say what you want about Ryan, he has to potential to be a PERFECT Deadpool if they do it right.

I hear he's actually one of the few bright spots in WOLVERINE in the beginning, what little he's in it. I dunno if I'm gonna see it, because wow, the reactions have been like an utter trainwreck. At least with X-MEN 3, we saw the trainwreck coming!

One critic wished, after seeing the opening sequence with Logan/Victor over the wars, that the movie had actually been like an immortal mutant version of THE DUELISTS, with them meeting to battle for years and years until they've forgotten why. Shit, I'd buy that for a dollar!

I'm not too well versed in Deadpool myself, but I think the general consensus is his entire solo series from the 90's, written by Joe Kelly. I very much recommend the content of the two DEADPOOL CLASSICS trades (vol. 2 particularly, that's all Kelly), but the $30 is such a rip.

So unless you're willing to spend that, I'd recommend just breezing through these posts to give yourself a fun and wonderful Deadpool sampler platter!

Like, behold this, where he picks a fight with Wolverine in a unique way: http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/242112.html

And his date with Big Bertha of the Great Lakes Avengers: http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/240924.html

If that Deadpool vs. Boba Fett fanart isn't epic win I really don't know what is.

The etiquette lesson someone posted contrasting the behavior of Captain America and Deadpool was hilarious as well.
