"... 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!

Oh my god. That was amazing.

I saw Wolverine on Friday night last week and it started off as a pretty epic movie and about 30 minutes into the movie, it seemed like they ran out of money, pulled an action movie script out of a dusty old warehouse, used SFX from the late nineties and went to work making one of the most sorry excuses for a modern summer movie ever.

I was pretty bummed out when Ryan Reynolds/Wade Wilson/Deadpool was on screen for a combined time of about 20 minutes. Not only that but Gambit was dragged in and thrown out like a bad extra they used for when they had no other characters available to move the plot.

Not even Hugh Jackman's rippling abdomen and extreme sexy hairiness could save this movie. And yes, the opening sequence of the movie was the only good part (IMO). How the heck did Liev Schreiber get cast in this train wreck? Man, it seems like any random guy could have played his part. Sure, not as sexily, but they misused his talent. :/

This youtube series has inspired me to read more Deadpool. He's probably what I'd be like if I ended up as a superhero.

P.S. FREAKAZOID. My childhood on Saturday mornings!

Woo, I just read 34 issues of Deadpool in one sitting and I think my brain is starting to rot out of my head. So, yeah...loved the vid.

One of my co-workers (a 60 something woman) asked me if I was going to see the new Hugh Jackman movie "where's he's part man, part wolf.." I was about to geekly say "actually he's a mutant with,etc." but then realized oh wait, they HAVE made him into a canine humanity offshoot in the comics. So she was quite right. Its utterly stupid, but she is quite right.

Deadpool utterly rocks. Not enough yet to pay $30 for the books, but still.

Yeah, I'm tired of people getting rich off of giving me crap.

What deadpool story lines would you suggest for someone who likes comics but know/cares little about the marvel universe.

I like the fight between wolverine and gambit(especially how piss off when wolverine ignore him to fight his bother),was disappointed with how little original deadpool screen time got in the film.
