While it's true that this is Deadpool's first central cinematic role (ignoring that stitched-up version...) and many viewers will not be familiar with the character, is it absolutely necessary to create yet another superhero/anti-hero movie that has to build up its character's origins? Especially when that character is as capable of subverting the format as Deadpool is. If the trailer is to be believed, there is going to be a fair amount of preamble before Deadpool and his costume are introduced. The sentimentality is nice, and the conversations with Weasel are hilarious - probably the highlight of the trailer - but the appeal of Deadpool is undoubtedly the wise-cracking, fourth wall-breaking sense of humour that develops primarily after he has gone completely insane. Judging by press releases, it seems that the film is going to be centred on Deadpool looking for revenge on the man that turned him into an indestructible killing machine. That's fine, and is a theme that has come up in the comics (particularly in relation to his on-off love affair with Death), but it's hardly a brave choice for a character with Deadpool's self-consciousness. What about in the comics, when he decided the best way to fix his predicament was to kill his fans or the writers that created him? Or the time he leapt from universe to parallel universe in order to dispose of alternative versions of himself and rid the world of the practically invincible menace? Going after the man that created him all feels a little bit "X-Men films", particularly Wolverine's storyline. Unless, of course, the secret that the trailer hasn't revealed yet is that the "man that created him" is actually the person that messed his character up so badly in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In which case, the plot could be utterly brilliant.
