History Heartwarming / Deadpool2016

** Throughout the final sequence of the movie, Vanessa is wearing not only the Voltron ring Wade won on their first date, but also his coat.

* While the BadGuyBar Weasel works in is very heavily corrupt and a place where people ''bet'' on which of their friends will die next, the moment Weasel is threatened by Angel Dust, the entire bar draws their guns on the two intruders.

** In a meta example, whilst Colossus is WrongGenreSavvy and definitely the butt of jokes, the film does not portray his being a superhero as negative or something to mock. It more takes the approach that whilst he and Deadpool may have different methods, Colossus wanting to do good is still a good thing, rather than mocking the idea of superheroes as many other works would have.

* After everything about ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' and Weapon XI in it in particular, that Creator/RyanReynolds eventually got to make it right.
** Moviegoers repaid his hard work and dedication by making the ''Deadpool'' movie break box office records for both R-rated movies and movies released in February (it was sitting at 333.4 million USD off a 58 million USD budget. That means it basically recouped its budget more than '''five times over''' in a little over a week. By April 5th of that year, that number had more than ''doubled'').
** Creator/ChrisEvans and Creator/RobertDowneyJr congratulating Ryan Reynolds on the movie's success and telling him how much they liked it is very touching, especially since Evans and Downey Jr. work for a rival studio.
** After ''Film/WonderWoman2017'' surpassed this film's box office haul, the official ''Deadpool'' Twitter account tweeted [[https://mobile.twitter.com/deadpoolmovie/status/884578349871276032 a slightly cheeky but genuine note of congratulations.]]
* Reynolds was so determined to get it right that he personally shelled out the cash for the film's writers to be on set and get to make sure their vision was respected.
* A young boy from Canada who was suffering from cancer got to see the film early... with Ryan Reynolds himself!

Yes, even in a ''Deadpool'' movie can there be a few scenes which warm your heart.

** It's heavily implied that after being dishonorably discharged, this is what Wade had been doing since then.
*** Later in his conversation with the recruiter it's implied that the reason Wade was discharged was because he felt he was being sent to kill people who didn't deserve it.

* Wade's entire relationship with Vanessa can count. They both loved each other before the cancer hit Wade and when Vanessa is kidnapped by Francis, Wade doesn't hesitate to go into a RoaringRampageOfRescue. Even after two years of not communicating with each other, and with Wade scarred all over his body, Vanessa makes it clear that she still loves him and the movie closes out on the two of them making out among the wreckage.
** In the middle of their sex montage it cuts to the two of them quietly reading together during Lent. It's a small scene that shows how strong their relationship is and it isn't just about the sex.
** The fact that the sex doesn't get less raunchy, but does get more fun and romantic--by Thanksgiving, they're rolling around on the dining room table, laughing merrily as they bang. Most movies go straight for a darkly alluring sense of lust meant solely to titillate--''Deadpool'' uses the sex scene to show that the characters are smack-dizzy in love.
** Also, Wade in no way trusts "Agent Smith" and his organization and would rather keep doing his mercenary gig until he succumbs to cancer. He goes with it anyway because he wants Vanessa to be happy, and he feels that can only happen if he's either cured, or definitively dies, forcing her to move on.

** Throughout the present day parts of the film, Wade thinks that it's Christmas Day. While that might be a throwaway gag (and it just might be), when you consider that [[FridgeBrilliance Wade proposed to Vanessa on Christmas Day]], it provides some insight as to why that date has some significance to him. However, exactly ''why'' he thinks that that Tuesday in April was Christmas Day is anyone's guess.

* Fridge Heartwarming: When Wade tries to quip how the cancer's only in the things he doesn't need (brain, lungs, liver, prostate), you realize metaphorically he's right. Because that only leaves one organ the cancer didn't get: his heart.
* While the BadGuyBar Weasel works in is very heavily corrupt and a place where people ''bet'' on their friends for who will die next, the moment Weasel is threatened by Angel Dust, the entire bar draws their guns on the two intruders.

** When the whole aircraft carrier is crashing down after Negasonic Teenage Warhead's FantasticNuke attack that knocked herself and Angel out, Colossus is carrying ''both'' of them when he's running away. Angel was previously ''kicking the shit'' out of him and nearly killed him with a rebar garrote, and he still saves her.
** During his brutal brawl with Angel Dust, her bra becomes dislodged, causing Colossus to turn away blushing in embarrassment, asking her ''politely'' to put her clothes back on ("You are a very beautiful woman"). Although Dust ''does'' take the opportunity to strike a low blow in his groin afterwards, even a sadistic murderess like her ''genuinely'' appreciated how sweet it was of Colossus to be such a gentleman.

** The friendship between the two is even more heartwarming. According to the commentary, Reynolds named Dopinder after a friend of his in elementary school, who sadly died, and dedicated the character to him.

* Negasonic Teenage Warhead spends a majority of her interaction with Deadpool with the two insulting each other. However at the end she admits Deadpool is cool to which Wade automatically freaks out over with happiness. Plus he freely admits to finding her name completely amazing.
* During the climax Francis puts Vanessa in the shallow-breathing torture machine. The machine is designed not to kill and wouldn't mutate her on its own. It would have been more pragmatic for Deadpool to take a minute to incapacitate Francis first, then free her from the machine, but, oh no, Deadpool's having none of that; instead he throws one of his swords to break open the machine the first chance he gets and stop her from suffering. As a bonus, this turns out to help out in the battle after all, when she manages to use the sword to cut through her restraints, then escapes from the machine and stabs Ajax in the back.
* In a brief-but-sweet scene while he's undergoing his torture/transformation at the hands of Ajax, Wade is seen joking around with another poor bastard undergoing the same treatment. The two discuss their bucket lists--Wade would want to see Vanessa again, the other guy wants to spend time with his kids.
* Wade immediately tells Cunningham, "Don't take any shit from [Ajax]!" when he comes in to deliver more of his usual [[SoftSpokenSadist delightful]] [[FauxAffablyEvil bedside manner]], and totally defuses Ajax's menace by revealing his real name is ''Francis''. Clearly not ''just'' because he likes dicking with Ajax, but because Wade ''hates'' bullies and any chance he gets to take their power away and make their victims feel better, he's going to damn-well take.

* Shortly after Wade is diagnosed with cancer, he goes to Weasel's bar for a drink and Weasel tries to offer him some wheatgrass instead to help boost his immune system. While Wade reacts with annoyance (he mentions Vanessa is pushing the same stuff on him at home), it goes to show that, [[DeadpanSnarker in spite of all their snarking,]] [[VitriolicBestBuds Weasel really does care about Wade.]]

-->'''Colossus:''' We'll make an X-Man of you, yet.
** Also worth noting is Wade's rationale for shooting Ajax. He gets no shortage of satisfaction out of it, sure, but he also argues that if being a hero [[CardboardPrison means letting psychopaths walk free]], then he doesn't want to be one. Despite their disagreements on the methods, Wade and Colossus are both interested in doing what's right.

* Despite everything, Wade bonds with fellow patient Cunningham to ease both their pain with jokes. Which makes it worse when the 'factory' begins to burn. Wade is pinned down in front of Cunningham, and all he can do is look down in shame and guilt as the building falls down on them.
* Another small one: when the bullets start flying during the final battle, Deadpool's first move is to hustle Negasonic behind cover, since she's the only one of the three who is actually vulnerable to gunfire. It's a small thing, but it shows that for all his psychotic behavior he still has some heroic instincts. He then has the decency to insist Warhead look away while he pulls his underpants out through his fly to use as a WhiteFlag.

* In another Deleted Scene, while waiting to see a BackAlleyDoctor in Mexico, Wade notices a mother struggling to pay for her son's treatment. What does he do? [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold He pays for it himself.]] [[PetTheDog And gives the boy a lollipop.]]

They both loved each other before the cancer hit Wade and [[spoiler: when Vanessa is kidnapped by Francis, Wade doesn't hesitate to go into a RoaringRampageOfRescue.

** Despite keeping up every indication that [[spoiler:much like Silver Fox in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', Vanessa was going to die to fill Wade's life with more tragedy, [[EarnYourHappyEnding they both live happily ever after at the end.]]]]

** Throughout the present day parts of the film, Wade thinks that it's Christmas Day. While that might be a throwaway gag (and it just might be), when you consider that [[spoiler:[[FridgeBrilliance Wade proposed to Vanessa on Christmas Day]]]], it provides some insight as to why that date has some significance to him. However, exactly ''why'' he thinks that that Tuesday in April was Christmas Day is anyone's guess.

--->'''Vanessa''': After a brief adjustment period, and a ''bunch'' of drinks, it's a face... [[spoiler:I'd be happy to sit on.]]

* In the climax, when Wade encounters [[spoiler:Bob]], he only knocks him out and proceeds to ask about how his family is doing. [[Funny/Deadpool2016 Yes, in that order.]]

* Negasonic Teenage Warhead spends a majority of her interaction with Deadpool with the two insulting each other. However at the end she [[spoiler:admits Deadpool is cool]] to which Wade automatically freaks out over with happiness. Plus he freely admits to finding her name completely amazing.

Clearly not ''just'' because he likes dicking with Ajax, but because Wade ''hates'' bullies and any chance he gets to take their power away and make their victims feel better, he's going to damn-well take.

* Surprisingly for a movie like this, Colossus makes a rather heartfelt and uplifting speech about how being a hero really ''isn't'' a constant job. You don't have to be a straight-edged joyless puppet the way the film has been suggesting. In the end it just takes "four or five moments" in your life to choose to do what's right. It's worth noting that even after [[spoiler:Wade shoots Ajax and causes him to vomit]], Colossus ''still'' believes in Wade's goodness and tells him to be on the lookout for the next moment where he can be a hero.

** Her reaction to finally seeing his face is both heartwarming, {{Squick}}y and a CrowningMomentOfFunny:

** During his brutal brawl with Angel Dust, her bra becomes dislodged, causing Colossus to turn away blushing in embarrassment, asking her ''politely'' to put her clothes back on ("You are a very beautiful woman"). Although she ''does'' take the opportunity to strike a low blow in his groin afterwards, even a murdering villainess like Angel Dust ''genuinely'' appreciated how "sweet" it is of Colossus to be such a gentleman.
