And just as he's complaining about the studio skimping on the costs of making Deadpool movies by only allowing low-grade cameos and keeping the best characters unavailable, the film's first huge surprise happens.

During his tirade, Deadpool asks why he can't even have a lame X-Man like "the one with the pigeon wings" - he's clearly referring to Angel/Archangel who Deadpool actually teamed up with (along with Wolverine, Fantomex and Psylocke) for one of the iterations of X-Force.

Clearly, he's not a fan in this universe.
