8 Shocking Differences Between Leaked Deadpool Screenplay And Movie
4. Less Relatable Versions Of Wade And Vanessa
One of the coolest things about Deadpool is the fact that both Wade Wilson and Vanessa Carlysle are extremely likeable characters, something which is particularly beneficial in the case of the former as he's nowhere near as obnoxious and annoying as his comic book counterpart. However, the screenplay made Wade a complete and utter jerk, and a borderline sociopath long before he became Deadpool. Take that scene with the pizza guy; rather than letting him off with a warning, Wade brutally assaults him, smashing his teeth in, and putting his head through a wall. He's way more spiteful to Blind Al, and when Ajax takes a young boy hostage by putting a gun to his head and threatening him, Deadpool grabs a little girl and does the exact same thing! The humour is still there, but it's a much nastier version of the character. Wade and Vanessa's relationship is also a lot less sweeter as after each of their encounters in that sex montage, we see that he's paying her $300 a pop because she's still been actively working as a prostitute for all that time. While none of this would have been enough to ruin the movie had it made it into the final cut, it all leaves a bad taste in your mouth, and it's easy to see why these particular personality traits were dumped.
