Deadpool Movie: 5 Reasons To Be Excited

3. Deadpool Is The Ultimate Anti-Hero

It would be the ultimate anti-hero movie, and a great antidote to what we're so used to seeing in films focusing around characters like Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, The Avengers and Green Lantern. Hear me out. These films were great and all, in their own way, but it's all just too super. Deadpool's character could bring a real edginess to the superhero film genre, kind of like if Jason Voorhees suddenly decided to be a ninja, started talking like the comic Spider-man and wanted to start saving semi-naked women instead of chopping them up; the concept should be dark (we should see his face, and get a short glimpse into his past) and the character should be remorseless in his kills. All the while, we can delight in ridiculous pop-culture references about everything from Obama to Family Guy and the inevitable rise of Psy (Gangnam Style)... though, if anyone who is helping to form the script actually reads this, please leave that suggestion out. http://youtu.be/xo-tWlETq8w
