In any case, hundreds of millions of marketing made this juvenile, made-for-teens movie successful.

Money spent on marketing is not a guarrantee for success. Besides, are you even familiar with Deadpool?

I am familiar with the character. I don't recall reading his comics though - maybe they were made for horny teens too.

I really wish that it was done by ticket sales instead of revenue, because inflation makes it impossible to compare to films of prior years.

I don't see why a horny, juvenile, made-for-teens movie doesn't deserve to be successful. Maybe you prefer dull, drab, dour, pretentious made-for-academics superhero movies like Batman V Superman?

I just prefer movies that don't try too hard to be Rated-R for the US audience and aren't dull for large segments of the movie.  The issue is that this is a short that they dragged to a full feature movie. They clearly didn't have the budget for that. It should have been a 45min feature.

Definitely a keeper of a film though.

More action and less of his spin jump thing and I will be happy.

Better story line and better writting is whats needed most, not action.

The humor in deadpool is often how badly he gets hurt trying varius stunts.

Penis jokes can only get you so far.

I want a 2nd movie that goes even closer to emulating the cartoons and comics of him.

Not another "action" movie that just happends to have a guy in deadpool costume in it.

Ticket inflation makes this, along with ALL "highest grossing" movies, pointless. Must adjust for inflation.
