Deadpool 2: 7 Deleted Scenes Ranked From Worst To Best
7. The Suicide Montage Expanded
20th Century Fox
As is to be expected with any director's cut, Deadpool 2's is more than a little self-indulgent. For a film that was already described as such by some critics to begin with, that's a bit of an issue, and it's most apparent in the extended version of Deadpool's suicidal montage.
The scenes in question all stem from Deadpool's imagination, with one depicting the character attempting to be eaten alive by a polar bear at a zoo enclosure. After that comes a scene where he tries to top himself off using what looks to be bleach atop a skyscraper, before he hurls himself to the pavement in frustration.
They're two brief sequences admittedly, but it's easy to see why they ended up being cut. They don't really communicate anything the audience doesn't already know, and the two potential deaths are anything if not a little bit too extra.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
