History TearJerker / Deadpool2016

** She's also wearing Wade's red fleece jacket (which he wore on their first "date"). He may have tried to erase himself from her life but she never let go of him.

** It's really the way the people look at him. They're not just subtle glances like "What's wrong with that guy's face?" They're cold, almost ''disgusted'' stares that say "Holy shit, that guy is fucking hideous."

* During the otherwise pure BlackComedy "This Little Piggy" scene, The Recruiter compliments Deadpool for looking "very alive", the broken man under the mask replies, "Ha! Only on the ''outside''." Not quite an EmptyShell, but getting there. [[spoiler: good thing about that ending...]]

* When Wade is left to die by Ajax, Wade catches a glimpse at one of the other "patients"... who has a saddened look on his face. That patient is Cunningham, the same man Wade had earlier befriended and was cracking jokes with. The poor guy just wanted to go home and make banana pancakes for his kids...Poor Cunningham gets killed by the fire from Wade's escape attempt. Wade is clearly devastated when he sees what happened to him.

* The moment Wade learns that he has cancer, [[PluckyGirl Vanessa]] suddenly starts asking the doctor [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness intelligent, sane, and non-sarcastic questions about his possible treatment]]. Wade can't do anything but look at her, 'trying to memorize her face as if he's looking at it for the first time, or the last'.

** Check out his fleeting but ''horrified'' reaction when [[spoiler: Ajax taunts him by saying he could be "terrorizing citizens, putting down freedom fighters" as a "super-slave".]] Either underneath his wisecracks and dickishness he's really a good man who's terrified of becoming a monster, or a man who ''has'' done these things before, and is anguished at being forced to do them again... [[TakeAThirdOption or]] he's just rightly frightened by the idea that he will lose all free will and ''have'' to do these things. All three are heart-breaking.

** The simple fact that Wade's deformity [[InformedDeformity ''isn't that bad.'']] It's tragic and yes, jarring, but it's closer to an extremely bad skin condition than anything else. Vanessa takes about thirty seconds to get over the initial shock. And Wade simply can't see that through the aforementioned self-loathing.

* Then there is the utterly heart-wrenching "Cancer World Tour" deleted scene. Wade and Vanessa [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin do just that]], travel around the world desperately looking for a cure for cancer, any cure. They've already been through most of the world, and Wade narrates that he's already given up on hope long ago, going along with the trip just to indulge Vanessa's fantasy of him being cured. Their travels take them to a sketchy clinic in Guadalajara, Mexico. While waiting for his turn, Wade witnesses a mother try to pay for her son's treatment, only for her payment of pesos to be rejected in favor of American cash. Wade figures out quickly that this was not a legitimate clinic, it's a scam that targets the ill and desperate. He sneaks into the operating room, where he discovers that the doctor there is actually performing [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychic_surgery Psychic surgery]], pretending to reach inside a patient's body and pulling out the diseased organ without cuts or mess. Wade calls the guy out on his practice, pointing out that the "diseased organs" are pieces of chicken. What follows is a brutal murder with a scalpel. And unlike the other fight scenes in the movie, there is no flashy choreography, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness no witty banter thrown around by Wade]]. By the time Wade is done, he realizes that the other patients who were waiting had witnessed the whole thing, including Vanessa. Emotionally traumatized, Wade flees, leaving Vanessa behind to scream his name to no avail. He's gone.

* When Vanessa is kidnapped, she drops the Bernadette Peters purse that Wade claimed to be one of his favorite items. Clearly, after several years of no contact, after Wade left her with no explanation, Vanessa still loves him.

* Weasel and Wade joke about how "unfuckable" Wade had become thanks to his disfigurement, but it's clear that Wade is heartbroken over the realization that Vanessa might reject him due to it. The scene where he notices disturbed onlookers when he attempts to approach Vanessa for the first time since he left is one of the very few moments reactions to his appearance aren't played for laughs.

** It's hard not to wince at the beginning of the next scene when Wade describes himself as "a monster inside ''and'' out". ''That's'' how he sees himself. Much like [[IronMan Tony Stark]], there is a ''lot'' of painful self-loathing to Wade's character, and he clearly believes he was that bad before he was deformed. Even with Vanessa being so devoted to him, he can't look beyond it. Hence him choosing Smith, Ajax and the "big, bad decision".
