History Headscratchers / Deadpool2016

* "Never Gonna Dance Again" is a song about a man trying futilely to apologize to his lover for infidelity. What in the world would make Wade think this is an appropriate song to serenade his fiancee with? Or is this just further evidence that he's messed up in the head?

*** Nope. It's definitely a Helicarrier. When it begins tipping to one side, the thrusters/turbines are visible on its sides.

** It's just a ''really good'' song and fun to dance to. It's also a call back to earlier in the movie when it mentioned it (and Wham!) was one of his favorites. No real deeper meaning there.

** You have a school full of some of the most powerful mutants in existence, why do you need more than cameras? Anyway, Negasonic Teenage Warhead opened the door before he could knock. They watched him come up and didn't view him as a threat.

** The accident probably blocked the highway for miles going both ways, not to mention the numerous people hurt or killed by the accidents. It's probably likely the police simply ''couldn't make it to the scene in time.
* The final set piece of the movie is very obviously a Helicarrier of some kind in the process of being reclaimed for scrap, but no one acknowledges it as such or otherwise points it out as anything out of the ordinary. Is there some connection that I've missed out on or is it just a completly out-of the blue reference?

** Unless this timeline made Xavier more paranoid, the X-Mansion has never had guards. They have the fence. Any threat would normally have to face the senior X-men. Xavier is usually there and could shut down nearly any mind. It's a school and not a prison. Say a students parent wanted to visit? Besides Deadpool is still a very skilled man. He can sneak into places without setting off alarms if he cares enough.

** Colossus has been trying to get Deadpool to join for a while. If there are guards, they wouldn't think he was a threat if they were trying to recruit him.

* RuleOfFunny may well apply here, but logically, how exactly was Deadpool just able to walk up to the front door of the X-Mansion, in ''full costume''? Were there no security systems? No alarms? Absolutely no one on guard?

*** Nope. It's definitely a Helicarrier. When it begins tipping to one side, the thrusters/turbines are visible on its sides.

*** Nope. It's definitely a Helicarrier. When it begins tipping to one side, the thrusters/fan blades are visible on its sides.

** It's a disused aircraft carrier.

** For that matter, the presence of a Helicarrier sorta implies the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D. within Fox's X-Men universe. And since Agent Bob appears in the film as a henchman for the unnamed private interest that Ajax/Francis runs or works for, the bad guys might be working for an unnamed stand-in of HYDRA instead of an adapted version of the Weapon X program. All of it is done in a way to reference Marvel Studios' intellectual property, but stay just shy of crossing the line of being sued by Disney's lawyers.

* There don't appear to be any police or emergency services in the X-men Cinematic Universe anymore. An entire stretch of highway gets filled with wrecked cars and various body parts and a long time is spent still on the highway after most of the action is over with characters talking, but there is no sign of the police.

** Maybe Ajax (or hIs NebulousEvilOrganization) paid them off? He's certainly a man of means, given his organization seems to sell super-slaves (to quote his own description) to the rich and powerful at the highest bidder, they might just have paid the police and other government bodies to summarily ignore their activities.

** Presumably the capsule had some sort of momentum-absorbing mechanism (that or Wade was betting on the capsule simply absorbing the blunt force of the fall, at least minimizing the damage caused to Vanessa).

* How exactly did putting Vanessa in the capsule save her? It did protect her from debris, but not from the huge fall.

-In the climax, Deadpool leaves his ammo bag in the taxi, and is visibly pissed. So why didn't he take the guns off of the mooks that he killed?
