How can you say that they haven't messed anything up yet? They have Deadpool shooting beams out of his eyes. His mouth is sewn shut. He's got adamantium blades that come out of his hands. Yeah, now that I think about it, THEY NAILED HIM!!!!

Seriously, though. Ryan Reynolds played the part well enough and I totally agree with you that parts were indeed pretty close. It's just all the added crap they tried to put into the Deadpool character that got me. It's like I said before, I just don't see why they feel they need to "improve". And since he is not the the main attraction here there should not have been such an attempt to have him be this complete bad-ass with every single power.

And please tell me how it makes sense to not have him in his costume yet, but it does make sense to give him all of those unnecessary abilities?

Did you even read all of my postes? I explained quite easily how they can still put him back to the same deadpool he should be for his own movie. Whether inbetween Origins events, or even after. So what if for one scene in the movie he's not the deadpool we know and love nor has his costume yet.

For the bit role we see him like this with the additional mutant powers, it only serves as a final project X boss for wolverine. They did tie it nicely into the story while still having wide birth for many other things to correct the powers issues. Including his final fate in the movie. And they aren't 'laser beams' they are optic concussive blasts. In his own mini while he did escape prior to these types of events, it was the projects intent to create a super warrior out of the 'deadpool' of inmates from which he draws his name.

Ryan Reynolds did fine yes, and while the final origins DP does move in a different direction than typical Deadpool, it doesn't mean he won't be later while still staying in story. It just means he'll have a slightly (IMHO) better reason for being bats**t insane. Ya know, stuck with his own thoughts till a body regrows and all that. Not even being able to speak, etc. And with no body, means no implanted arm blades too. Gives him even more reason to want to have the glory of taking wolverine down when hired as a merc, and even more reason to never let anyone keep his mouth shut again, and to keep escaping from weapon X. If anything, Fox has set us up for an even darker more cohesive insane deadpool if the writers actually tap the ideas to use that have been presented as potential here in this movie. That in conjunction with the fact he's not scarred as much as the toy, the additional ending tidbits added on, and more all point towards they could easily tap many directions still for his potential. Just because he has those powers now, doesn't mean his body will keep them intact if overtaxed, especially since all we need him to keep is the healing power.

Plus, you have to admit, him rambling on about times as a mute head, or years of silence etc, is very deadpool. Just look at the recent messiah war conflict in x-force where he was stuck in a collapsed building till the future.


So yeah, they may have messed him up for a whopping 5 minutes or so in an ending battle, but does that mean he MUST stay that way? Let alone the fact we haven't seen how he was recaught, or why he let them subject him to this? He's not even scarred in the movie cept for the fact his mouth has grown over what the toy suggests is stitches. They nailed him enough for it to be quite explored well to still be our deadpool we know and love later, and even before his weapon XI implementation. Though I fear they may make him keep the teleporting for his personal teleporter instead of technology-wise, but so long as they limit it because of various regeneration reasons, or even failing power use because of his trauma, it could still work (He closes his eyes and tries, opens them "Umm dorothy, why are we still in kansas?" Keeps trying and trying). The arm blades aren't native to his body, so they won't be coming back after this film more than likely. Though him salvaging them for new adamantium swords could work to add to his crazy stories that seem to surreal to have happened. "Hey Logan, remember when I could shoot laser beams out of my eyes? Good times, good times." Among many more tounge in cheek usages for his banter.

The costume can come in during his Pre-capture days after team X, or can come in from him hiding what has been done to him after the fact, from ya know, growing a new body and all that. The point is, it's ripe for untapped potential. Worry later once his spin-off comes, or his cameo in wolverine 2.
Until then, this movie is just a tease and psyche out.
Now if his own Movie rolls out, and they still overpower him like this while having his mouth gone while free, I will start questioning whether or not they truly understand the character's richness they have been given. Until then, the final battle doesn't mean anything towards his potential cept more reason for him to be insane, and scarred up. For the little bit given, they have a vast array of potential to still tap to fill it in for 'comic accuracy'. From cancer to his final selection as Stryker's puppet, to the aftermath of his Origins fate. DP in the final scenes, mostly wasn't even in control of himself. Of which we also don't know why as of yet. How many escape attempts did it take for Stryker to revoke his free will, and install cameras in his eyes?

To Bob once he gets stuck with him after Hydra or Aim, or Whoever does the clean up of the facility he was stuck at. Manages to con his way back to Bob's apartment and takes over, in DP fashion.
"Ever played Pong with your eyes to kill time? Yeah it's about as fun as it sounds. Atari still gives me the creeps when I'm near it. That sound just makes me want to kill people." Sees an atari 2600, starts stabbing wildly with his new handle swords. "Die, die die die die." Destroys the bigscreen tv too it was sitting on that bob spent three paychecks to buy. And that's just assuming he's healed and discovered by the 80s sometime.


So yeah, easily back to the deadpool we know and love. And that's assuming he wasn't just a straight up clone of Wade, and not even the real thing. In which case again, a costume would make no sense.
