History Awesome / Deadpool2016

* '''THE WHOLE HIGHWAY CHASE'''. It is amazing how much detail was shown!

** Minor moment of awesome (awesome luck, anyway) that the last guy had to be dispatched by hand because the bullet lost enough energy traveling through the heads of the first two that it didn't penetrate his skull. (And DP gives a groan as he turns around, as if saying "Why don't you just ''die'' already?")

* Weasel may be the ButtMonkey in his own bar, but even Francis and Angel back down when Angel lays a hand on Weasel and every mercenary in the place pulls a gun on them. The ''entire patronage'' of the converted-orphanage-cum-bar Saint Mary's (read: these being non-superpowered, very muscular and very big) patrons immediately standing up with heavy artillery, willing to defend Weasel (their scrawny little bartender) against the extremely dangerous Francis and Angel, and Francis and Angel back down.

* Deadpool makes good on his promise to spell out Francis's name by spelling it out with the corpses of all the mooks he just killed. Doubles as a Crowing Moment of Funny. He even made the 'i' lowercase, using a mook's severed head for the dot! That's dedication. Even better is that the body of the i is mooning Francis.

** A very awesome one for Deadpool when Francis throws one of his axe at him. [[ArrowCatch He catches the axe]], then throws it back at Francis and does a spin-kick in mid-air in the same motion when he threw the axe. The kick connecting is enough to send Francis a few feet backward.

* Colossus has a very cool moment where Angel Dust has him in an armbar, only for him to lift her up, ''and'' while she's still completely holding onto his arm, slams her down several times onto a mountain of scrap. Dude one-arm-powerbombed Angel Dust!
* Angel Dust fights with Colossus and doesn't just keep up with him, but seems like she could ''win'', implying that she is either stronger than him or a better fighter than him, or maybe even both. To keep this in mind remember that Wade tried punching and kicking Colossus earlier in the movie and badly broke both of his hands and also his leg, meaning that her super-strength is off the charts to be able to hurt him. Had Negasonic Teenage Warhead never intervened, Colossus could have been killed by her.

* One for Creator/RyanReynolds: [[http://media.comicbook.com/2015/11/deadpool-halloween-157609.jpg Taking a bunch of kids dressed as the X-Men trick-or-treating while dressed in a Deadpool costume he swiped from the set.]]
** You read that right: he ''stole'' his Deadpool suit. After filming wrapped up he simply walked off set in full costume and when a costume assistant asked if he wanted to change first he simply said, "Try and take it from me."
* The film getting [[http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/deadpool/ Certified Fresh]] at 84% by Website/RottenTomatoes. [[SavedFromDevelopmentHell Given how much it took to get this movie together,]] which had been a [[DoingItForTheArt passion project of Reynolds for years]], and which looked dead after the flop of ''Film/GreenLantern2011'', seeing the Merc With a Mouth's big screen debut getting this much critical praise out of the gate is nothing short of astounding.
** The speed with which the studio has green-lit a sequel plants another set of feathers firmly in the respective caps of the team that put this film together. If TheStinger is to be taken seriously,[[note]]Remember, this is [[{{Troll}} Deadpool,]] so he could just be fucking with us[[/note]] then the sequel will feature ''Cable!'' -- And it did.
* The movie's opening weekend set records for February releases and the best opening for an R-rated movie over ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded''.
** The film also beat the ever-loving shit out of the previous Valentine's Day Weekend record holder: ''Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey''. There was nothing especially erotic or romantic about it -- except for the gratuitous sex scenes and violence (if you're into that sort of thing).

** ''Deadpool'' is now the highest grossing film in the entire ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' domestically ''and'' worldwide. What makes this even more impressive is that ''Deadpool'' was the lowest budgeted film in the series and was the only one that was R-rated. The film had a production budget of just $58 million, but took $363 million in the [=USA=] and another $420 million overseas for a total gross of $783 million, over thirteen times it's budget!
** To reiterate, the movie went through an infamous DevelopmentHell, was about a character that few corporate executives had much faith in (and doesn't enjoy the extreme comic-book popularity of characters like Spider-Man or Wolverine, instead having more of a cult following), came out in a [[DumpMonths graveyard]] month like February, and got saddled with the dreaded R-rating which is rarely as profitable as PG-13. Yet despite seemingly having so many cards stacked against it, it immediately eclipsed its budget and went on to smash record after record without pause. Wham! [[CallBack It earned the exclamation mark]].

* When a film is successful as this most stars would rest on their laurels, not Ryan Reynolds. He's reportedly already working on the sequel and in the meantime ''still'' taking every chance he gets to put on the suit and deliver delicious Deadpool goodness to the fans.

* Colossus: the character got more lines, importance and screentime than in the other films of the X-Men movie franchise.

* This movie rebooted the character of Negasonic Teenage Warhead. For those who aren't big Marvel fans, she was originally a oneshot character with minor precognitive powers who was killed in her first appearance; her only reason for showing up in the movie was because it would be funny to have Deadpool be genuinely awed by her ridiculous codename. But the character found enough love from the viewers that Marvel decided to resurrect and reinstate her comic-self, with an updated appearance and power set matching her movie-self.

* Deadpool's rampage through Francis' men when he goes to [[spoiler:rescue Vanessa]] is pure awesome, such as when he cuts a mook's head off and then punts it like a football into another mook's head.

He even made [[spoiler: the 'i' lowercase, using a mook's severed head for the dot! That's dedication.]] Even better is that [[spoiler: the body of the i is mooning Francis.]]

* Vanessa [[spoiler: proving she and Wade share a lot more than just being crazy by escaping from the oxygen cage, [[DamselOutOfDistress cutting through her bonds with a katana lodged into the tank, pulling the katana out from where it's lodged into the tank by gripping the blade to do so, and then using said katana to impale Francis]].]] Badass.

* When he finally has Francis at the end of the fight, and Deadpool has only one gun left: [[spoiler:the puny little Derringer Blind Al gave him]]. Just as he's about to finish him off:

** [[spoiler: Finish him off he does; Colossus tries to talk him out of with a speech about heroism, but Deadpool isn't having any of it, and just shoots the prick in the head.]]

** The speed with which the studio has green-lit a sequel plants another set of feathers firmly in the respective caps of the team that put this film together. [[spoiler: If TheStinger is to be taken seriously,[[note]]Remember, this is [[{{Troll}} Deadpool,]] so he could just be fucking with us[[/note]] then the sequel will feature ''Cable!'' -- And it did.]]

* Due to the way the rights to Marvel movies are set, [[spoiler:members of HYDRA]] cannot legally appear in an ''X-Men'' movie such as this one. Yet, they still managed to get [[spoiler:Bob, Agent of HYDRA]] to appear.

** Minor moment of awesome (awesome luck, anyway) that the last guy had to be dispatched by hand because the bullet lost enough energy traveling through the heads of the first two that it didn't penetrate his skull.

** Even the pre-fight taunting is good. Deadpool mentions that Francis better hope his immunity to pain better include every single nerve, "Because I'm gonna go looking!" Francis responds that sure, Deadpool can grow back body parts, but when he's done, the parts will have to grow back him. Even Deadpool admits that's a good one.

* Ryan Reynolds ''stole'' his Deadpool suit. After filming wrapped up he simply walked off set in full costume and when a costume assistant asked if he wanted to change first he simply said, "Try and take it from me."

'''Deadpool:''' ''[cocks the gun, darkly]'' '''''[[ShutUpHannibal Who fuckin' cares.]]'''''

* '''THE WHOLE HIGHWAY CHASE'''. IT IS AMAZING HOW MUCH DETAIL THERE IS!

** They even added shit-stains to the underwear of the biker Deadpool wedgies...okay, [[{{Squick}} that's too much.]]

** [[http://collider.com/deadpool-box-office-records-highest-grossing-r-rated-movie/ On March 28, 2016,]] it became the highest grossing R-rated film of all time.

** And two years later, which film finally beat this one's huge records? '''Film/Deadpool2'''.[[note]]And then ''Film/Joker2019'' shortly after that released.[[/note]]

That's right: this relatively small, $58 million dollar, R-rated action-comedy featuring a previously little-known character made more money than ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' (AKA: [[FanNickname Avengers 2.5]]), ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', and ''Film/JusticeLeague''... '''combined.'''[[note]]$255 million for Civil War + $126 million for Batman v Superman [[BoxOfficeBomb - $50 million]] for Justice League = $331 million, against Deadpool's net profit of $360 million.[[/note]]

* With the insanely visceral FandomRivalry between the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, Film/DCExtendedUniverse, and various unaligned comic book properties, it's pretty darn impressive how this is the one movie that ''every'' side generally likes, and of course serves as the major hole (besides plain old common sense) in the conspiracy theory of critics being bribed to promote the MCU above all other properties.
