I really don't see how you market this character to a younger audience without getting some huge frowns. He's a Merc for crying out loud. He's NOT a hero. He's one of the most dangerous and deadly characters in the Marvel Universe mostly because he's insane and that makes him unpredictable, because he can switch sides at any time and make the choice that benefits him the most. At least Wolverine has some moral values. Don't get me wrong, these are all reasons I like the Deadpool character, but...

...I can almost hear Ebert complaining that Marvel has stooped to new lows and insulted our intelligence with this looney toon of a character with no morality and therefore no real reason to cheer for him. Top that off with marketing him to a younger audience is almost like saying, "do drugs kids and you can act just like Deadpool." Obviously I don't buy into this shit, but would media outbursts like this really surprise any of you?

While a Deadpool movie line would be amazing...I just need at least ONE MU Deadpool to satiate my hunger for the moment, but even more importantly I don't want toys to dictate how my favorite characters are portrayed on the silver screen.
