I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

    Deadpool was a comic first and yes, that was the point. Deadpool is the only Marvel character who knows that he is a Marvel character. He was around vefore Taiko Watiti decided to self-insert in every movie as a failed comedian.

    Tl;dr: it wasn’t Deadpool’s fault.

      Erm, pretty sure She-hulk did that first, and a few others have done it since, but Deadpool does make it more of his schtick.

      Yup. Deadpool is entirely about breaking the fourth wall, and the first movie executed that beautifully while injecting a lot of heart into the story. The fact that other movies try to replicate that out of context for laughs is unfortunate.
