History YMMV / Deadpool2016

** 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 ''Film/TheCrow'' and ''Film/{{Spawn|1997}}''. Even a few years prior to ''Deadpool'', comic fans got an R-rated ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' movie as well as ''Film/KickAss''. Then, you have non-comicbook based superhero movies such as ''Film/{{Super}}'' or ''Film/{{Defendor}}'' which are R-rated. No one can even say this is the first Marvel movie to get an R-rating (hello, ''Film/{{Blade}}'' (1998) and The Punisher starring Dolph Lundgren (1989)). It's not even the [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative first Ryan Reynolds Marvel movie to get an R-Rating]] (hello, ''Film/BladeTrinity''). It ''is'', however, the most successful by a considerable margin, or at least it was until the release of ''Film/Joker2019''.

* GenreTurningPoint: For R-rated comic book movies -- at least for Fox at the time. Prior to this, all of the movies in the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' were distinctly made to be PG-13 (or edited to fit the rating, in the case of ''Film/TheWolverine''). After the movie became a hit, Fox not only greenlit ''Film/{{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 ''Film/Deadpool2'' with the acquisition of Fox by Creator/{{Disney}}). Beyond Fox, Todd [=McFarlane=] started pushing for the production of a new ''ComicBook/{{Spawn}}'' movie shortly after the success of this film, and Creator/DCFilms decided to move forward with some R-rated films such as ''Film/{{Joker|2019}}'', ''Film/TheSuicideSquad'', and ''Film/{{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 ''Film/DeadpoolAndWolverine'') with the DarkerAndEdgier ''Series/MoonKnight'' and ''Series/{{Echo}}''.

In fact, R-rated movies in general have gradually been making a comeback across all genres, after constant pushing of the PG-13 envelope (though it remains to be seen whether or not Disney will move forward in that department, owing to Bob Iger's reluctance on the matter).

** In general, the movie won over many fans who saw Fox's ''X-Men'' films as [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny a product of their time]] that were too grounded and far-removed from the comics, continued to use outdated tropes like MovieSuperheroesWearBlack, and (while not as frustrating an example as Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries) [[AshCanCopy 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 Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, refused to fill.

* EvilIsSexy: Ajax, whose actor is [[EvenTheGuysWantHim praised by an animated Deadpool as "The hottest!"]] during the ending credits.

* FirstInstallmentWins: Some say that the first Deadpool film is better than ''Film/Deadpool2'' with the non-linear structure, more humorous tone, and freshness of being the first installment.

* CompleteMonster: [[SoftSpokenSadist Ajax]], real name [[DoNotCallMePaul Francis Freeman]], is the cold and detached leader of [[Characters/XMenFilmSeriesWeaponXNewTimeline 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. [[Characters/XMenFilmSeriesDeadpool 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 [[ForTheEvulz 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 [[SuperHumanTrafficking 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 [[IHaveYourWife kidnapping his former girlfriend Vanessa]] and then locking her in the asphyxiation device right in front of Wade. To add insult to injury, [[spoiler:he was lying about being able to fix Wade's face]].

** Colossus. Let's start with the fact that 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.

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqhvKF2qrms X Gon Give It to Ya]]" by Music/{{DMX}}, which plays during the main trio's PowerWalk and fits the [[SirSwearsALot nature]] of Deadpool, in addition to sounding awesome.

** 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 ''Film/TheCrow'' and ''Film/{{Spawn|1997}}''. Even a few years prior to ''Deadpool'', comic fans got an R-rated ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' movie as well as ''Film/KickAss''.

It's not even the [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative first Ryan Reynolds Marvel movie to get an R-Rating]] (hello, ''Film/BladeTrinity''). It ''is'', however, the most successful by a considerable margin, or at least it was until the release of ''Film/Joker2019''.

* SugarWiki/DevelopmentHeaven: Creator/RyanReynolds paid $10,000 of his own money for the rights to wear a Creator/BeaArthur t-shirt, as he figured that she was integral to Deadpool's character. The money went to charity.

** Colossus. Let's start with the fact that 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, and he's casually sipping a drink from a cup that's comically tiny in his giant hands.
** Dopinder's a slightly nerdy, slightly confused cab driver.

* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: Was the "Gratuitous Cameo" mentioned in the credits referring to Stan Lee? Or [[spoiler:the Creator/HughJackman mask that Wade wears at the end of the movie?]] [[WolverinePublicity This is the]] ''[[WolverinePublicity X-Men]]'' [[WolverinePublicity film series, after all]].

** Infamous {{Executive Meddl|ing}}er Tom Rothman (who is the same guy who previously mandated that [[Film/XMenOriginsWolverine 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 Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox. It proceeded to recuperate its entire budget ''almost three times over in a single weekend'' domestically, [[http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=deadpool2016.htm 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 [[EpicFail insult to injury]] towards Rothman, in that same opening weekend, the movie made more than [[Film/FantasticFour2015 the last superhero movie that Rothman greenlit]] did '''[[BoxOfficeBomb in its entire lifetime]]'''. [[note]]It should also be noted that Rothman did '''not''' greenlight ''Film/TheWolverine'' and ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', both of which were created as [[WinBackTheCrowd apologies toward the fans]] for ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' and ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', both of which Rothman meddled with.[[/note]] 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 DevelopmentHell it's been through, [[DumpMonths its release in a month like February]], its R rating which could alienate some audiences, its ban from being released in China,[[note]]Over the past decade, China has grown to be the largest international market.[[/note]] and the fact that [[Creator/RyanReynolds 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 ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' in terms of domestic returns, accomplishing this feat in an unprecedented 10 days. And oh, China unbanned the film in 2018.
* AwardSnub: Many critics were expecting the film to receive a few nominations at the UsefulNotes/{{Academy Award}}s (particularly Best Actor for Creator/RyanReynolds and Best Picture), but it wound up garnering none. The fanbase was furious at this, especially when the much worse-received ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'' got a nomination for "Best Hair and Makeup" and ''won''.

** The soundtrack by Music/JunkieXL is no slouch either. Especially the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wD5tamhwXo "Maximum Effort"]] {{leitmotif}}. Many have compared the synth parts of it to [[Music/MichaelJackson "Beat it"]].
** "Careless Whisper" by Music/GeorgeMichael 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.

* BrokenBase: 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) 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 DependingOnTheWriter ''and'' justified InUniverse as Wade's constant destruction/regeneration of his cancer cells constantly rewriting his brain.
* CompleteMonster: [[SoftSpokenSadist Ajax]], real name [[DoNotCallMePaul Francis Freeman]], is the cold and detached leader of [[Characters/XMenFilmSeriesWeaponXNewTimeline 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. [[Characters/XMenFilmSeriesDeadpool Wade Wilson]] himself is eventually placed in a chamber that alters air levels to constantly make him feel that he is asphyxiating.

* CrossoverShip: there are tons of fan fiction writers who think Deadpool and ''ComicBook/HarleyQuinn'' should be together.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: As is the standard with Deadpool. He'll be a wiseass and drop 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.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Negasonic Teenage Warhead barely existed in the comics (she was in Creator/GrantMorrison's first issue of ''ComicBook/NewXMen'' and died immediately) so this new take created a great character from the over-the-top name.

** With Film/{{Logan}} because both are X-Men related films that use the R-rating to a good degree.

* FirstInstallmentWins: Some say that the first Deadpool film is better than ''Film/Deadpool2'' with the non-linear structure, more humorous tone and freshness being prevalent.

--->'''Colossus:''' ''[[VideoGame/StarCraftI "Take it slow."]]''
* FriendlyFandoms: Unlike with previous post-''[[Film/TheAvengers2012 Avengers]]'' efforts like the ''[[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries Amazing Spider-Man Series]]'' films, the post-''Avengers'' ''[[Film/XMenFilmSeries X-Men]]'' films, and ''Film/FantasticFour2015'', ''Deadpool'' is notable for ''not'' raising much criticism from Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse 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 believe that Disney wouldn't touch the idea with a 10-foot pole -- reinforced by Bob Iger stating at the time that Creator/MarvelStudios 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 [[ShoutOut 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 Creator/KevinFeige himself.

* GenreTurningPoint: For R-rated comic book movies -- at least where Fox was positioned. Prior to this, all of the movies in the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' were distinctly made to be PG-13 (or edited to fit the rating, in the case of ''Film/TheWolverine''). After the movie became a hit, Fox not only greenlit ''Film/{{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 ''Film/Deadpool2'' with the acquisition of Fox by Creator/{{Disney}}). Beyond Fox, Todd [=McFarlane=] started pushing for the production of a new ''ComicBook/{{Spawn}}'' movie shortly after the success of this film, and Creator/DCFilms has decided to move forward with some R-rated films such as ''Film/{{Joker|2019}}'', ''Film/TheSuicideSquad'' and ''Film/{{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 (though it remains to be seen whether or not Disney will move forward in that department, owing to Bob Iger's reluctance on the matter).
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: ''Deadpool'' was very popular overseas and broke several box office records. 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, has a personal grudge against the head of the program who was also the one who changed him.

** The opening credits' "Directed by an overpaid tool" line was humorous. [[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/deadpool-2-loses-director-tim-940672 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 than the first film, no less.[[/note]] less so.

** 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 ''Film/GreenLantern2011''. The quip becomes even more amusing after they decided to animate the eyesockets on Deadpool's mask in post-production.

** In this film, Wade promises to Vanessa that he would come back in "the next life, and I'm gonna boombox 'Careless Whisper' outside your window" in reference to most famous scene of ''Film/SayAnything''. In ''Film/Deadpool2'', 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 ultimately kept him looking like [=McAvoy=] [[Film/DarkPhoenix all the way up to 1992]], leaving an even more ridiculously small gap before he turns into Stewart.

* IronWoobie: 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 amount 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 JerkassWoobie, but not with Wade, who keeps up his lighthearted ways. When he is Deadpool, he is joking and 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.

** Fans of the movie have taken the Ajax/Francis joke and ran 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.

** "Yay! Superhero landing!" has been used in response to many scenes when a character does the ThreePointLanding. This is especially true for the ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' trailer when Spider-Man is introduced doing the maneuver. "Superhero landing!" ''also'' gets used a lot for characters who fall and ''don't'' [[BlackComedy do a proper landing]], such as what happened to [[spoiler:War Machine]] in the aforementioned ''Captain America: Civil War''.
** There's an [[http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1251258-perfection image macro]] showing Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson from ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' (before the transformation), which is then followed by Michael Fassbender's Magneto from ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' saying the similar line he said to Raven/Mystique in that film, "I prefer the real ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}." The next image shows Weapon XI a.k.a. the infamous mouth-sewn-shut interpretation of Deadpool from ''Origins'', which got the FanNickname "Barakapool" (among others), which is followed by young Magneto again, this time saying, [[TakeThatScrappy "I said the]] ''[[TakeThatScrappy real]]'' Deadpool." And finally, the next image shows the comic-accurate Deadpool, followed by Magneto saying [[FandomNod "Perfection."]]
%%ZCE ** Fans had a lot of fun on International Women's Day referencing the relevant scene in the movie.

** Several interviews with the cast and crew had them referencing Deadpool being pansexual with Creator/RyanReynolds 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 some of the men he's openly had a crush on.

** 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 ''Film/TheCrow'' and ''Film/{{Spawn|1997}}''. Even a few years prior to ''Deadpool'', comic fans got an R-rated ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' movie as well as ''Film/KickAss''. Then, you have non-comicbook based superhero movies such as ''Film/{{Super}}'' or ''Film/{{Defendor}}'' which are R-rated. No one can even say this is the first Marvel movie to get an R-Rating (hello, ''Film/{{Blade}}''). It's not even the [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative first Ryan Reynolds Marvel movie to get an R-Rating]] (hello, ''Film/BladeTrinity''). It ''is'', however, the most successful by a considerable margin, or at least it was until the release of ''Film/Joker2019''.
* ProtectionFromEditors: According to [[https://www.yahoo.com/movies/ryan-reynolds-explains-how-the-deadpool-movie-got-109934676757.html an interview]] with Creator/RyanReynolds, 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 would get free rein to make the movie without studio interference.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: If one criticism can be made about the film, Vanessa is an [[SatelliteLoveInterest 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 [[spoiler: 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 considering it was also dealing with Wade's origin and the plot proper.

** Angel Dust and Negasonic Teenage Warhead, both of whom are ''extremely'' obscure mutants in the comics, and neither of whom has any connection to Deadpool, appear in this film.

* ValuesDissonance: 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 a rare superhero movie to get a 15 or 18 rating in three years, with ''Film/KickAss2'', the previous holder, released back in 2013.

** Similar to what ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' did in regards to ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', the creators said that this 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 [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny a product of their time]] that were too grounded and far-removed from the comics, continued to use outdated tropes like MovieSuperheroesWearBlack, and (while not as frustrating an example as Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries) [[AshCanCopy 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 Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, refused to fill.

* TheWoobie: 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 [[HopeSpot does finally find he's still alive]], she immediately gets captured by Francis, who plans to [[ForcedToWatch torture her to death in front of Wade]] [[spoiler: thankfully, he saves her, they are reunited, and she still loves him in spite of his deformites.]]

*** While the whole "undestructable/unfuckable" joke was kept, it also adds, possibly unintentionally by [[Creator/JoseAntonioMacias 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-version, 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 [[spoiler: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, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcial_Maciel after an infamous Mexican]] PedophilePriest, not only to keep [[spoiler: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 [[spoiler:when Deadpool kills him in the most brutal way possible, even if it's off-screen]].

*** In the scene Althea shows her gun, the Ronnie Milson reference is replaced with Music/StevieWonder 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 ''Film/{{Cocoon}}'' is pure pornography", ''Cocoon'' is replaced with, of all things, ''Film/TheSisterhoodOfTheTravelingPants''.[[note]]This also ends up serving as an ActorAllusion (sort of) related to Deadpool's actor Creator/RyanReynolds, as Reynolds' wife Creator/BlakeLively appeared in that film.[[/note]] Amazingly enough, the first trailer for ''Film/Deadpool2'' 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 ''Film/OneHundredAndTwentySevenHours'' and then quips, "Literature/AreYouThereGodItsMeMargaret",[[note]]The title of a young adult book, as in the scene Colossus gets sprayed in the face with Deadpool's blood, and the book involves a girl's first menstruation.[[/note]] the line was changed to "Soy Harry y busco venganza" (I'm Harry and I seek revenge), a reference to Creator/JamesFranco as Harry Osborn in ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'', 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 part when Wade compares Angel Dust with Rosie O'Donell is changed with being compared with a ''squid'' instead. The analogy could be even ''more vulgar'' than the original English version because [[spoiler:in Japan, it's commonly held that semen smells like squid, being the equivalent of Wade calling her ''[[CountryMatters 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 ''[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} 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, albeit this only happens in the subbed version. In the dubbed version, Wade calls hims a pervert and a stalker instead.

*** Oddly enough, Dopinder avoids AnimeAccentAbsence 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.

* CreepyCute: Once you get used to the [[UncannyValley pupil-less white eyes on Deadpool's mask]], his facial expressions are quite endearing.

* UncannyValley: Deadpool has an ExpressiveMask, and the animated eyes can be this for some people. This can lapse into CreepyCute once you get used to it.

* HollywoodHomely: Honestly, Wade is still fairly attractive once you get used to his scars (something one could also say about the comics, DependingOnTheArtist). [[spoiler:When he finally reunites with Vanessa at the end, [[LampshadeHanging she says the same thing.]]]]

* ValuesDissonance: In the US, this movie was groundbreaking as the first major R-rated Superhero movie. In France? It was rated 12 (the equivalent of T or PG-13) like almost every other superhero movie. 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 a rare superhero movie to get a 15 or 18 rating in three years, with ''Film/KickAss2'', the previous holder, released back in 2013.

After the movie became a hit, Fox not only greenlit ''Film/{{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 ''Film/Deadpool2'' with the acquisition of Fox by Creator/{{Disney}}). Beyond Fox, Todd [=McFarlane=] started pushing for the production of a new ''ComicBook/{{Spawn}}'' movie shortly after the success of this film, and Creator/DCFilms has decided to move forward with some R-rated films such as ''Film/{{Joker|2019}}'' and ''Film/{{Birds of Prey|2020}}''.
