When Deadpool’s actual emblem is his masked face, it’s hard to take the same liberty. Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, the X-Men, and most other classic comic characters all have emblems that can basically be slapped on a loose interpretation of their costume, and most audiences would agree that it still represents said character. But the classic red and black suit, including the mask with white eyes, is necessary, because that’s Deadpool’s actual emblem. The X-Men franchise had already been doing that for years, so why does Deadpool’s suit matter so much?ĭeadpool is the rare example of a character whose super-suit is intrinsically tied to the character himself, and cannot be abandoned.

While riffing or cracking a few jokes in the direction of the previous failure may alleviate the brunt of just how badly the movie flopped for fans, it’d be hard to argue that a retcon could “fix” anything, because this is How X-Men Origins: Wolverine Screwed Up Deadpool 10 The Character That Was Promised Was Not Deliveredĭeadpool’s alter ego, Wade Wilson (portrayed by Ryan Reynolds), was introduced fairly early in the movie. Some theories even say that the bad interpretation of Deadpool in Origins could be a nightmare or have some other meta-retcon in the new movie as a way of fixing the numerous missteps of cinematic Deadpool version 1.0. In fact, Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine was so poorly adapted, it’s been said the Deadpool character in the upcoming movie will exist largely in response to the previous failure.
