Deadpool 1 was the perfect date movie: accessible for chicks but you get your super hero fix as well. That doesn't mean it was a good film though. Reynolds is a charming guy and there's a certain amount of appeal in that. The movie itself, however, just appeared to be edgy but really all the edges were filed off and then safely covered with Reynold's snappy patter. It looked, smelled, and tasted like counter-culture, but it wasn't, not really. But everyone gets to feel good about themselves and their sophisticated, raw sense of humor. Pro-tip: George Carlin, Bill Hicks, and Doug Stanhope were/are sophisticated comedians. Deadpool is just the class clown in a goofy suit.
Anyhow my point and I do have one is the studio would have been out of their fucking minds to depart from that formula even one iota for the 2nd movie. And by all reports they have not. I tried watching the first one a couple times but never made it through without falling asleep, so I probably won't bother with the 2nd.

I also found the movie to be shit. At one point I found myself wondering when it was going to get good. Then it ended. Not one single funny moment. And the Firefist(?) character....wtf was that? Just pure shit.

Kid was from Hunt for the Wilderpeople, directed by the guy who did Thor Ragnarok. Kid can be funny with direction, but they tried to do a joke transplant and it didn't work.
