YMMV / Deadpool (2016)

• Adorkable:
  • Colossus. His first couple scenes have him eating cereal out of a bowl at least three sizes too small for him and lecturing his ward on the importance of eating breakfast in the morning. Near the end of the film, he catches a ride with Deadpool in Dopinder's cab — he's squished in the backseat next to Negasonic Teenage Warhead, casually sipping a drink from a cup that's comically tiny in his giant hands.
  • Dopinder is a slightly nerdy, slightly confused cab driver.
• Alternative Character Interpretation: Wade's deformity, while ugly and definitely shocking, isn't as bad as Wade says it is. (Note that Vanessa gets over it almost immediately.) And yet, when he's first out on the streets afterwards, several people stare at him and make rude comments under their breaths. However, the editing of the scene suggests that maybe Wade's insecurity is causing him to exaggerate people's reactions in his head.
• Alternative Joke Interpretation: Is the "Gratuitous Cameo" mentioned in the credits referring to Stan Lee? Or the Hugh Jackman mask that Wade wears at the end of the movie? This is the X-Men film series, after all.
• And You Thought It Would Fail:
  • Infamous Executive Meddler Tom Rothman (who is the same guy who previously mandated that Deadpool's mouth had to be sewn shut) was strongly opposed to the movie getting made out of fear that the movie wouldn't click with audiences (there are even reports that he straight-up hated the character). It only got made because Reynolds (or another staff member) leaked the test footage, which caused fans to demand it, and it still wasn't officially greenlit until after he left 20th Century Fox. It proceeded to recuperate its entire budget almost three times over in a single weekend domestically, demolishing records without pausing for breath, as the opening month managed to recuperate the budget to the tune of 328 million dollars domestically (for those keeping track, that's almost six times over). To add insult to injury towards Rothman, in that same opening weekend, the movie made more than the last superhero movie that Rothman greenlit did in its entire lifetime. ^note It should also be noted that Rothman did not greenlight The Wolverine and X-Men: Days of Future Past, both of which were created as apologies toward the fans for X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, both of which Rothman meddled with. The cherry on top is that Deadpool ended its run in the top ten highest-grossing superhero movies in terms of domestic ticket sales.
  • Prior to the film's release, several detractors began crying out the many signs that the movie could be a flop, including the troubled Development Hell it went through, its release in a month like February, its R rating, which had the potential to alienate some audiences, its ban from being released in China,^note over the past decade, China has grown to be the largest international market and the fact that its star was considered "box office poison" at the time. The film ended up getting extremely good reviews, and not only made back triple its budget back in its first weekend but ended up setting several box office opening records for an R-rated film. Even better is that the film became the highest-grossing movie in the X-Men Film Series in terms of domestic returns, accomplishing this feat in an unprecedented 10 days. Oh, and China unbanned the film in 2018.
• Award Snub: Many critics were expecting the film to receive a few nominations at the Academy Awards (particularly Best Actor for Ryan Reynolds and Best Picture), but it wound up garnering none. The fanbase was furious at this, especially when the much worse-received Suicide Squad (2016) got a nomination for Best Hair and Makeup and won.
• Awesome Music:
  • "X Gon Give It to Ya" by DMX, which plays during the main trio's Team Power Walk and fits the nature of Deadpool, in addition to sounding awesome.
  • "Shoop" by Salt-N-Pepa, which plays while Deadpool's crudely drawing himself shooting Francis and is singing along to it. It's insanely catchy as well.
  • "Deadpool Rap" by Teamheadkick, which suits the scenes it plays in (Deadpool going after Francis' mooks to get his location) perfectly.
  • "Angel of the Morning" by Juice Newton is sublime Soundtrack Dissonance, as it plays over the opening montage (which features a moment in time of the highway shootout later in the film).
  • The soundtrack by Junkie XL is no slouch either. Especially the "Maximum Effort" leitmotif. Many have compared the synth parts of it to "Beat It".
  • "Careless Whisper" by George Michael is already a great song, and its use during both the movie's conclusion and the animated end credits helps definitely close the film on a VERY high note.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment:
  • In the midst of the climax (and the associated carnage), Deadpool starts making cutesy love gestures towards Vanessa as cartoon characters dance across the screen and Chicago's "You're the Inspiration" plays in the background. Granted, he does have a knife in the side of his head and he's hallucinating most of it, and it is Deadpool imagining it.
  • Deadpool looking at a Haunted Segway tour brochure at the beginning of the film. The way the camera focuses on it and the fact he puts it in his pocket makes it seem like it will be important later. It's never mentioned again. Just the fact that "Haunted Segway Tours" exist. Are the Segways haunted?
• Broken Base: Deadpool's personality is mostly spot on, but the big point of contention is that in the movie he was always kind of unstable and the torture just made it worse, as opposed to the comics where he was sane until the torture. There's also some fans who feel he isn't insane enough, since he doesn't do his iconic "talk to the dialogue boxes" gag (which the director has admitted finding kind of hard to do in a different medium) and seems to be more lucid in general than in the comic books, even when he's still acting over the top. Though it's worth mentioning that this is both Depending on the Writer and justified In-Universe, as Wade's constant destruction/regeneration of his cancer cells is constantly rewriting his brain.
• Complete Monster: Ajax, real name Francis Freeman, is the cold and detached leader of an operation that purports to create superheroes. Ajax uses his recruiter to lure in people with nothing to lose before he implants the potential for mutant genetics into them. However, to awaken the mutant gene, Ajax subjects them to hideous, continuous torture and experimentation to produce the necessary stress to awaken it. Wade Wilson himself is eventually placed in a chamber that alters air levels to constantly make him feel that he is asphyxiating. After this awakens Wade's mutant gene, Ajax comments he could fix Wade's ruined looks, but remarks that it would be no fun and shuts him back in the device out of sheer cruelty. When Wade escapes, Ajax impales him and leaves him to burn alive in the ruins of the lab, along with any other prisoners remaining. The superhero operation is also revealed to be a front: the victims are fitted with collars to turn them into slaves and sold to the highest bidder for the remainder of their lives. When Wade, now Deadpool, is hunting him, Ajax tries to lure the latter out by kidnapping his former girlfriend Vanessa and then locking her in the asphyxiation device right in front of Wade.
• Crazy Is Cool: You have to respect a guy who practices interrogation via Zamboni.
• Creepy Cute: Once you get used to the pupil-less white eyes on Deadpool's mask, his facial expressions are quite endearing.
• Crossover Ship: There are tons of fan fiction writers who think Deadpool and Harley Quinn should get together.
• Crosses the Line Twice: As is the standard with Deadpool, he's a total wiseass who casually drops bad jokes while he snaps necks and cuts off heads. Deadpool less crosses the line twice and more picks up the line and plays double-dutch with it.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Negasonic Teenage Warhead barely existed in the comics (she was in Grant Morrison's first issue of New X-Men and died immediately), so this new take created a great character from just the over-the-top name.
• Fandom Rivalry:
  • With Logan, because both are X-Men related films that make good use of their R rating.
  • And with Lobo (Webseries), which also popularized an R-rated comedic anti-hero.
• Foe Yay Shipping: Several fans ship Colossus and Angel Dust together, mainly due to the brief moment where Colossus calls Angel beautiful.
• Fountain of Memes:
  • The title character, as usual, spawned lots of memes and quotes.
  • Not far behind is Colossus.
    Colossus: Take it slow.
• Friendly Fandoms: Unlike with previous post-Avengers efforts like the Amazing Spider-Man Series films, the post-Avengers X-Men films, and Fantastic Four (2015), Deadpool is notable for not raising much criticism from Marvel Cinematic Universe fans for merely not being part of their universe (at least initially), mostly due to the sheer absurdity of a comics-faithful, R-rated Deadpool movie and how many fans believed that Disney wouldn't touch the idea with a 10-foot pole — reinforced by Bob Iger stating at the time that Marvel Studios still didn't have any plans for R-rated movies even after the success of Deadpool. After the Fox buyout, though, Marvel announced plans to incorporate Deadpool into the MCU with both Ryan Reynolds and the R rating intact. It doesn't hurt that the movie makes a couple of friendly nods towards the MCU itself, has been praised by a number of the MCU's actors and directors, and even got approval and help from Kevin Feige himself.
• Genius Bonus: Some of the references that Deadpool makes verge on the obscure, making them examples:
  • When Deadpool's face is pushed into a leather headrest, he mutters "Rich Corinthian leather!", a reference to a (slightly inaccurate) memetic sales pitch from old Chrysler commercials featuring Ricardo Montalbán.
  • When Colossus gets sprayed in the face with Deadpool's blood, Deadpool shouts, "Are you there, God? It's me, Margaret!" This is the title of a Judy Blume book involving a girl's first menstruation.
• Genre Turning Point: For R-rated comic book movies — at least for Fox at the time. Prior to this, all of the movies in the X-Men Film Series were distinctly made to be PG-13 (or edited to fit the rating, in the case of The Wolverine). After the movie became a hit, Fox not only greenlit Logan with another R rating, but talked about making the X-Force spin-off R-rated alongside the third Wolverine film (though they ultimately didn't have time to put anything in motion beyond Deadpool 2 with the acquisition of Fox by Disney). Beyond Fox, Todd McFarlane started pushing for the production of a new Spawn movie shortly after the success of this film, and DC Films decided to move forward with some R-rated films such as Joker (2019), The Suicide Squad, and Birds of Prey (2020). In fact, R-rated movies in general have gradually been making a comeback across all genres, after constant pushing of the PG-13 envelope. Even Disney followed suit (albeit not cinematically until Deadpool & Wolverine) with the Darker and Edgier Moon Knight (2022) and Echo (2024).
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Deadpool was very popular overseas and broke several box office records in general, but he was popular enough in Japan to the point where there was a giant statue erected of the merc with a mouth. This may be due to the fact that while the film was funny and absurd, Deadpool's story was very much like many of the masked heroes in Japanese media: good guy goes through experiments and gets superpowers, has to be separated from his love interest to hunt the organization that made him in secret, and has a personal grudge against the head of the program who was also the one who changed him.
• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • The opening credits' "Directed by an overpaid tool" line was humorous. Director Tim Miller leaving Deadpool 2 after creative differences with Ryan Reynolds,^note among other things, because he wanted a bigger budget so that the sequel would be a stylized follow-up to the first film, no less less so.
  • Gina Carano’s character being the subject of a transphobic insult (“I’m calling wang”), to the extent the joke landed to begin with, comes off especially awkwardly after 2020, when Carano got into a tense online standoff with fans over recognizing personal pronouns, leading to accusations of transphobia on her part.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • Wade jokes that he does not want an animated costume once he becomes a superhero, which is a reference to Ryan Reynolds' CGI uniform in Green Lantern (2011). The quip becomes even more amusing after learning that they decided to animate the eyesockets on Deadpool's mask in post-production.
  • Negasonic Teenage Warhead snarks about how the X-Mansion gets blown up every month. Guess what happens to the X-Mansion in X-Men: Apocalypse?
  • Deadpool's reference to "Samuel L. Jackson with an eyepatch and a saucy little leather number" in The Stinger has become this after Disney's purchase of Fox; given Deadpool's penchant for No Fourth Wall and the possibility of crossovers or retcons with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it could just as well be construed as a reference to the actual Nick Fury. Same with the helicarrier during the film's climax, which can be retconned into an actual S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier.
  • In this film, Wade promises to Vanessa that he will come back in "the next life, and I'm gonna boombox 'Careless Whisper' outside your window" in reference to the most famous scene of Say Anything.... In Deadpool 2, he does exactly that... to Colossus.
  • Deadpool complaining about not knowing if this movie's Xavier is Patrick Stewart or James McAvoy got even more appropriate as the other films kept him looking like McAvoy all the way up to 1992, leaving an even more ridiculously small gap before he turns into Stewart.
  • Weasel's quip about Ajax's goons attending a midnight showing of Blade II takes on fresh implications now that both Blade and Deadpool are slated for their own MCU films. Yet another excuse for Wade to kick holes in the fourth wall, if he realizes a movie character in his universe is a genuine superhero in the Avengers'?
  • After seeing Negasonic Teenage Warhead's powers in action, Deadpool quips about pitying the dude who pressures her into prom sex. Deadpool 2 introduces her romantic partner, the decidedly female Yukio.
• Hollywood Homely: Honestly, Wade is still fairly attractive once you get used to his scars (something one could also say about the comics, Depending on the Artist). When he finally reunites with Vanessa at the end, she says the same thing.
• Improved Second Attempt: Needless to say, this cinematic version of Deadpool was received much better by audiences than in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, with a more comic-accurate costume, raunchy humor and constantly breaking the fourth wall with clever quips, as opposed to the Silent Antagonist he was in the previous film.
• Iron Woobie: Wade Wilson is a man who was promised his cancer could be cured, and on top of that he would gain abilities that would make him a hero. Instead, he was lied to and then forcefully tortured for an unknown period of time so it could be seen whether or not he was actually superhuman. This included being badly beaten, electrocuted, his head dunked under water, put through sensory deprivation in ice-laden water, and then being locked in a chamber with a very limited supply of oxygen to try and not suffocate. And when his abilities finally kick in? His cancer is cured, but he gains a horrific mutation across his entire body that leaves him scarred everywhere. When he gets free, he is unable to bring himself to approach his girlfriend Vanessa due to fear of being rejected because of how he looks. This is the perfect recipe for a full blown Woobie or even a Jerkass Woobie, but not with Wade, who keeps up his lighthearted ways. As Deadpool, he's always joking, breaking the fourth wall, and keeping up a cheerful attitude throughout most of the movie, all the while trying to track down the man who forced him to be the way he is in the hope that he can be cured of his appearance.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • "Please don't suck."^Explanation Before it was released, this was usually the first response to posts about the film, symbolizing the difficulty that it had in getting made.
  • "SkullPoopL", from a very unique billboard.◊
  • Given how the film is releasing close to Valentine's Day, selectively editing preview material to make the movie look like a romance. Which eventually became an Ascended Meme when Fox started doing it — Deadpool himself talks directly to the women in the audience that were taken there by clueless boyfriends about how the movie actually is a love story.
  • Fans of the movie have taken the Ajax/Francis joke and run with it by actually posting pictures of bottles of Ajax they bought with Ajax scribbled over and Francis written underneath. Inversely, referring to people named Francis as Ajax. Example: Pope Ajax.
  • Deadpool's facial expression when Ajax manages to escape on the highway has been used as a reaction shot to various news.
  • "Yay! Superhero landing!" has been used in response to many scenes when a character does the Three-Point Landing. This is especially true for the Captain America: Civil War trailer, where Spider-Man was introduced doing the maneuver. "Superhero landing!" also gets used a lot for characters who fall and don't do a proper landing, such as what happens to War Machine in the aforementioned movie.
  • There's an image macro showing Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson from X-Men Origins: Wolverine (before the transformation), which is then followed by Michael Fassbender's Magneto from X-Men: First Class saying the similar line he said to Raven/Mystique in that film, "I prefer the real Deadpool." The next image shows Weapon XI, a.k.a. the infamous mouth-sewn-shut interpretation of Deadpool from Origins, which got the Fan Nickname "Barakapool" (among others), which is followed by young Magneto again, this time saying, "I said the real Deadpool." And finally, the next image shows the comic-accurate Deadpool, followed by Magneto saying "Perfection."
  • Fans had a lot of fun on International Women's Day referencing the scene in the movie where Vanessa and Wade, during their montage sex scene, wish a happy holiday to each other for increasingly obscure days, including International Women's Day.
  • The opening credits themselves became a meme, though only among Russophone users, with them assigning sarcastic commentary from it to characters from other franchises. Although there are many variations, the most common roster is: "God's Perfect Idiot", "The Sexiest Man Alive", "A Hot Chick", "A British Villain", "The Comic Relief", "A Moody Teen", "A CGI Character" (shortened to mean "Just Some Guy"), "Asshats", "The Real Heroes Here".
• Misattributed Song: "Careless Whisper" is technically a George Michael song, not Wham!'s (though Wham! co-star Andrew Ridgeley is credited as co-writer, and the Wham! album Wade displays does indeed feature the song).
• Moral Event Horizon: Ajax proves his monster status by closing the asphyxiation tank on Wade For the Evulz and leaving him to burn in ashes inside the collapsing building.
• More Popular Spin-Off: Deadpool is the highest-grossing entry of the X-Men Film Series in both North America and worldwide, and was popular enough to attract the attention of many people who weren't major X-Men fans.
• Older Than They Think:
  • Several interviews with the cast and crew had them referencing Deadpool being pansexual, with Ryan Reynolds even saying he hoped Deadpool could have a boyfriend in the sequel. A lot of fans erupted in anger over this, claiming that they changed his sexuality for the movie, but in truth Deadpool was confirmed as being attracted to men in the comics years ago. Thor, Cable, Spider-Man, Wiccan, and Hulkling are just some of the men he's openly had a crush on.
  • Wade's joke that, with three Taken movies released, at some point you have to wonder if it's just bad parenting. Three years before Deadpool (2016), Liam Neeson said almost the same thing.
  • A surprisingly large number of fans thought this was the first superhero movie that was rated R. The concept of an R-rated superhero movie has been around at least since the '90s with movies such as The Crow (1994) and Spawn. Even a few years prior to Deadpool, comic fans got an R-rated Watchmen movie as well as Kick-Ass. Then, you have non-comicbook based superhero movies such as Super or Defendor which are R-rated. No one can even say this is the first Marvel movie to get an R-rating (hello, Blade (1998) and The Punisher starring Dolph Lundgren (1989)). It's not even the first Ryan Reynolds Marvel movie to get an R-Rating (hello, Blade: Trinity). It is, however, the most successful by a considerable margin, or at least it was until the release of Joker (2019).
• Periphery Demographic: Despite being rated R, the film became popular with kids and teenagers which contributed to its success.
• Protection from Editors: According to an interview with Ryan Reynolds, one of the trade-offs when creating this film was a much smaller budget (compared to the rest of the main X-Men franchise), but they got free rein to make the movie without studio interference.
• Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: The film has undone the damage X-Men Origins: Wolverine did to Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool performance and even placed him above multiple A-list Marvel heroes. The writers even took the time to mock the version from the 2009 film in comparison to how badass the film's version became.
• Spiritual Licensee: Many fans feel that Deadpool's approach to adapting its source material is more faithful and similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe than previous Fox and Sony Marvel movies (content ratings notwithstanding), to the point that some reviewers confused Deadpool for an actual MCU film. Disney's acquisition of Fox opens up the opportunity for the movie to transform from a Spiritual Licensee to an actual licensee.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: If one criticism can be made about the film, Vanessa is an under-developed character, given her comic book self is a powerful shapeshifter with mimicry abilities. It looks like she might get her powers after she's captured by Ajax and locked in the same pod that induced Wade's powers in the first place, which would have added more to the plot, but instead she remains a normal human (albeit a pretty badass one). The writers said they toyed around with her becoming Copycat, but the film would've bitten off more than it can chew to do this considering it was also dealing with Wade's origin and the plot proper.
• Trailer Joke Decay: Many jokes suffered this, with the punchlines being in many trailers, such as "You look like an avocado had sex with an older avocado." The movie does occasionally use alternate takes that were not used in the trailers, but still got this reception from some fans.
• Unexpected Character:
  • Angel Dust and Negasonic Teenage Warhead, both of whom are extremely obscure mutants in the comics, and neither of whom have any connection to Deadpool, appear in this film.
  • Colossus, while a prominent member of the X-Men, has little connection to Deadpool.
• Values Dissonance: In the US, this movie was groundbreaking as the first major R-rated Superhero movie. In France? It was rated 12, though it is worth noting that most superhero movies end up getting rated U (all ages) in France, and a superhero movie rated 12 is quite notable. Similarly, in the UK, the film is rated 15, not 18 (which is the UK's equivalent to an R-rated film), though it's worth noting that it's still notable for being the rare superhero movie to get a 15 or 18 rating there, with Kick-Ass 2, the previous holder, released three years prior in 2013.
• Win Back the Crowd:
  • Similar to what X-Men: Days of Future Past did in regards to X-Men: The Last Stand, the creators said that this movie is essentially an apology to all the fans who were upset over the last cinematic version of Deadpool. It was profoundly accepted.
  • In general, the movie won over many fans who saw Fox's X-Men films as a product of their time that were too grounded and far-removed from the comics, continued to use outdated tropes like Movie Superheroes Wear Black, and (while not as frustrating an example as The Amazing Spider-Man Series) continued to prevent Marvel from being able to use their characters. Deadpool not only provided a colorful, subversive, and very faithful take on the character, but was also full of R-rated humor and violence executed in a manner that only the Merc with a Mouth himself could lay claim to — filling a niche that the series' main competitor, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, refused to fill.
  • The movie retroactively became an example to Fox's superhero properties as a whole — after Fantastic Four (2015) was a critical flop and a Box Office Bomb, this movie had to put Fox back in favor with audiences. To say that it worked would be an understatement, given the surprising acclaim that this movie got from the most serious of critics.
• The Woobie: Vanessa. While what she goes through pales compared to what happens to Wade, she still has to deal with the man she's desperately in love with getting terminal cancer, and then just disappearing (with her just assuming he must have died eventually). When she does finally find he's still alive, she immediately gets captured by Francis, who plans to torture her to death in front of Wade. Thankfully, he saves her, they are reunited, and she still loves him regardless of his scars.
• Woolseyism:
  • The Mexican Spanish dub is full of them:
    • While the whole "undestructable/unfuckable" joke was kept, it also adds, possibly unintentionally by Deadpool's Mexican VA, another layer of meaning, because one of the Spanish Mexican words for "fuck" (coger) also means "to pick/grab something," so in context, it could also mean he's untouchable (in the sense no one can defeat him, but also no woman wants to touch him either).
    • In a meta example, the promotional posters of Deadpool parodying the Coppertone girl (The Bad Ass, Smart Ass, Great Ass ones) were translated as Super Heroe, Super Rudo, Super Nalgas (Super Hero, Super Tough [Guy], Super Buttocks).
    • Another change, albeit involving (oddly enough) both the dubbed and subbed versions is when Deadpool catches the recruiter when trying to find Ajax's whereabouts. While in the original English dialogue, he calls him "Jared," after Jared Fogle, the former Subway spokesman and convicted child molester, in the Mexican sub (since Fogle is little known in Latin America) he calls him "Father Maciel" instead, after an infamous Mexican Pedophile Priest, not only to keep the reference to a child molester, possibly to imply what the recruiter did to Wade/Deadpool was as bad as being raped by a priest, but especially since both cases involve persons one expected to trust (a spokesman and a priest), in the same way Wade decided to put his trust to him to find a cure to his cancer. Taking into account the real life Father Maciel died due to natural causes, you can get an idea how this analogy works when Deadpool kills him in the most brutal way possible, even if it's off-screen.
    • Ajax's name is pronounced phonetically in Spanish ("Ah-Hax") rather than "Aye-Yax" partly to keep the joke about how Deadpool pronounces his name and also because Ajax shares the same name with the industrial cleaner.
    • In the scene where Althea shows her gun, the Ronnie Milson reference is replaced with Stevie Wonder instead, maybe because he's much better known in Mexico and Latin America than Milson.
    • When Deadpool, Negasonic, and Colossus are with Dopinder and Deadpool says "...and that is why Cocoon is pure pornography", Cocoon is replaced with, of all things, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.^note This also ends up serving as an Actor Allusion (sort of) related to Deadpool's actor Ryan Reynolds, as Reynolds' wife Blake Lively appeared in that film. Amazingly enough, the first trailer for Deadpool 2 has a similar scene, and this time it actually mentions The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants!
    • In the scene when Deadpool asks the public if they've seen 127 Hours and then quips, "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.",^note the title of a young adult book, as in the scene Colossus gets sprayed in the face with Deadpool's blood, and the plot of the book involves a girl's first menstruation the line was changed to "Soy Harry y busco venganza" (I'm Harry and I seek revenge), a reference to James Franco as Harry Osborn in Spider-Man Trilogy, probably because most people in Mexico (and Latin America by extension) don't know about the book, and to keep the joke in line with the 127 Hours reference by referencing another of Franco's well-known roles.
  • The Israeli posters included the tagline gibór mezuyán^Hebrewגיבור מזוין, meaning either "an armed hero" or "a fucking hero."
  • Examples in the Japanese sub and dub:
    • The part when Wade compares Angel Dust with Rosie O'Donnell is changed with being compared with a squid instead. The analogy could be even more vulgar than the original English version because in Japan, it's commonly held that semen smells like squid, being the equivalent of Wade calling her cuntface or similar insults in English.
    • Wade addresses the recruiter as Nii-chan (literally, "big brother"); in context it could mean partner or dude, but taking into account this is Deadpool we're talking about, maybe the translators tried to make him sound childish. It also helps to emphasize the fact he looks like a pedophile from Wade's point of view, if only in the subbed version. In the dubbed version, Wade calls him a pervert and a stalker instead.
    • In the dubbed version, Ajax sounds more sissier that he already sounded in English, probably to make him sound more creepier than he already is.
    • Oddly enough, Dopinder avoids Anime Accent Absence, and his voice actor speaks with a notable, albeit not-exaggerated, Indian accent. This is especially odd, because Colossus, another foreign character, speaks Japanese without any accent, compared with the original version and other foreign dubs.
