After twelve years of Ryan Reynolds attempts he manages to assume the role of Deadpool in a film entirely dedicated eponymous Marvel comic and tailored to the cynical and caustic humor that characterizes the characters he played. Apart from the actor who embodies it, he has little to unite this Deadpool with the one introduced as a villain in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but at different times of the screenplay by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick winks at the first appearance .

It wears off so the curtain apparent diversity of Deadpool, which is not enough to “break the fourth wall” by referring directly to the public, or make use of analogues and antiquated gimmicks to convince about his true nature as an innovator subversive. Maybe better to settle entertain those who choose to play the game.
