I agree with you about deadpool cosplayers being jerks, a deadpool cosplayer grab my girlfriends breasts so I punch him in the face and asked why I did that... He said he was in character, so I told him I was in character too, and punch him.
+navioner i really like deadpool the only thing i hate abot him is that his fanbace are mostly dicks and they are ruinning deadpool. by the way good on ya for punching that guy he deserves it.
On the contrary Drake, you've earned a subscriber. While I personally enjoy the character of Deadpool, you've shown that you have the balls to be your own person, regardless of who is watching, and make valid points to back up your arguments. I respect that, so even if you end up hating every single character I like (which is highly unlikely), you've got a fan in me. Subscribed.
S.A.M. u r right. if u don't have the balls to say something about what u don't like cuz u don't wanna lose subscribers, you're not a very good TH-camr
I love Goofyball Superheroes like Freakazoid, Earthworm Jim, Plastic Man and Rick Sanchez,But I feel like DC and Marvel are working too hard on Deadpool and Harley Quinn. I know who those are popular because I'm myself am a fan of Deadpool and Harley Quinn, but Jesus Chris The Studios should make Plastic man,Freakazoid or The Creeper (Jack Ryder) animated series instead of relying on Deadpool and Harley Qiunn.
H-Man He seems more depressing than than funny. Wade use humor as a defense mechanism. Honestly, I wouldn't blame him. He has plenty of mental issues. From schizophrenia, to selective memories, to ptsd, to manic depressive episodes. Also knowing the fact he's immortal, so for him wishing for death every day seems to make sense for him. It's funny how I used hate this character back in the day, now with more understanding I can say that he's the most tragic character in comics.
Yeah, I get comments all the time to do a Deadpool video, but I really don't care for the character and I don't want to make a video about something I'm not 100% enthusiastic about.
Oh dang. I didn't realize anybody watched what I do, haha. Man, that episode was a long time ago. I'm amazed that you held on that long. I stopped watching my own videos a while ago. The host is pretty annoying.
Good to see someone acknowledge that quite a few people don't like Deadpool. Still, the movie should be good. So, Scott, when's the Deadpool episode coming out? :)
Frost Marvel Believe it or not, there is a Deadpool episode in the works. And it's an actual Misconception about the character. I bought something off of eBay recently that should help with the episode. Look forward to it in the next few months!
Frost Marvel Well, it's been almost a year now since I made a video that said "We're working on a Deadpool episode." I feel like I need to deliver on that.
@@JaredShemY this is coming from a guy who’s never read a Joe Kelly run. If you actually read that run from 1997 you would realize Deadpool is one of the best written characters ever. But I think you just only really know about his crappy flanderized counterpart from Daniel Way’s run.
@@Flungz_99 I actually just read the Joe Kelly stuff and its great. Felt like Wade's jokes had depth to them instead of just dropping random one liners. Kind of wish more Deadpool stories were like that and not Memepool. I can't stand Memepool, especially now knowing he could have been something so much better.
Therai Zephyr If it's his opinion though, how can it be true. I'm not saying he's wrong, I'm just saying, an opinion can't be right or wrong cause you can't prove it.
I mean I think he was always a little crazy but yeah in the comics he's not completely crazy and he had touching moments with people like saving a person from suicide and refusing to kill a kid in the X Force comics
Interesting...you in fact like Deadpool himself, you just can't stand how he's being handled in most comics. I can agree with that...sometimes Deadpool can be a surprisingly serious character and, to me, he actually comes off as funny when he genuinely tries to be serious, because "serious" is not a normal Deadpool behaviour. I'm all for rude juvenile jokes, but sometimes they get over used.
+Comic Drake I am 100% with you Drake, and the fanbase is bad... I like Deadpool, but I see where you are coming from - And as I am in the UK, We don't get so much of an issue with Cosplay (Yet!)... A shame as I would like to get involved in that - But I am 100% sure when it does take off, we will get some real Assholes donning the Deadpool Costume, and trust me... They will make your Stateside lot look tame!!! Seriously, When Brits start being assholes, We make the US look like a Utopia!!! So a Brit in a Deadpool outfit... Oh Jesus!!!
Sooooo... This guy can say he doesn't like Deadpool, but Deadpool fans can't disagree by dislike the video ? Because... they dislike the author's opinion ?
Dude you were spot on with this. I get a lot of hate for not wanting to see Deadpool, but i cant stomach any more "super witty, sarcastic, silly" quips from Marvel characters any longer. They ruined Age of Ultron by making every other line that came out of an Avenger's mouth something that tried too hard to be funny and clever. So i dont need an ENTIRE movie and superhero dedicated to that cheap humor.
Jesus I hated Age of Ultron, because of Ultron's personality in that movie. The sarcastic pretentious crap. Tony Stark, Spiderman and Bruce Banner are the only characters it makes sense with it supported in their characters to do it. Bruce Banner does it to suppress his anger, and Spiderman is supposed to be young, and does it because he lets go of his day to day Peter Parker insecurity behind the mask. But, the Marvel movies being known for this with all the characters in the Avengers gets a bit annoying, from every other Superhero movies trying to do it or criticized if they don't to characters like Thor who aren't supposed to be witty all the time, becoming that. It just doesn't fit Thor. Black Panther and Captain America might be the only movies that don't rely on it. Yet still successful.
@@GeteMachine i think im in the minority who doesnt hate ultron in the mcu, him having a bit more human of a personality, i can attribute to the mind stone, an embodiment of ai given sentience. I think that is pretty good reasoning why he can understand theology(not saying he is theist, he clearly views himself as the god) and philosophy, which the former isnt really considered a rational school of thought and the human condition is very complicated. A combination, a symbiosis of man and machine conceptually is leaps and bounds the next step of human evolution, an ai might make what we consider "stupid mistakes" but ai just needs raw computing power to bruteforce through the intended result combine both pros of being human and machine you get something incredible, assuming it is even possible of course.
Why in the world should I unsub to you!? You state your (unpopular) opinion and, like every opinion, I respect it. That's what I hate about the internet. When you state your own honest opinion none or only a very few agree to, you're mostly likely branded 1. a troll or 2. a douchebag. Can't we just respect each other's opinion and reasons?
***** Ikr, that's why I love your Unpopular Opinions vids over at Trailer Drake. They give us a forum where we can let go off our opinions freely. Keep up the great work - on both of your channels ;)
I respect your opinion . Even though my username and Avatar have Deadpool I think Groot might stay timeless. You have a awesome tree monster who destroys enemies with ease and also is funny and has a heart of gold .
How about the fact that Deadpool is just a poor mans ripoff of She-Hulk as written by John Byrne? She-Hulk was doing the whole, breaking the fourth wall, bringing back old characters, etc thing a full decade before Deadpool ever even appeared in any comic. And all without being a psychopathic, homicidal maniac. In other word whilst still being a good guy.
The comics and movies don't do the psychopathic, homicidal maniac thing right, either. They have him doing standup comedy while killing armed men. Realistically, he'd be shooting up high schools and colleges, have a torture cellar and his jokes would sound more like Freddy Kruger's or Hannibal Lecter's TV material.
I agree with pretty much everything you've said here. The over-exposure of Deadpool and Harley Quinn is getting really annoying. Not that I don't like them (I liked Harley in the Suicide Squad movie and I adore the Deadpool movie), but I agree that the (as you put it) "LOL LOL SILLY RANDOM" brand of humour is REALLY grating on me. Although Deadpool did re-introduce the stupid awesomeness that is Brute Force, so there's that.
I can live with Harley Quinn, but I don't like how they just use her for fanservice and dressing her up like a millennial now. Shes a character that I ironically think would work better if she was more like deadpool herself and less dumb. While Deadpool to me is just a little too off the wall wacky for me to see it as anything to surprise me anymore. I'd only suggest it for Harley because she was originally supposed to be a clown. Not a stripper.
I also agree. My favorite part about Deadpool is that despite his insanity and general weirdness he comes up some absolutely brilliant plans and actually clever jokes occasionally. My favorite was in Deadpool kills Deadpool where he uses his alternate universe clone's teleportation belt to teleport him in half because they have the same voice for the belt's voice recognition system.
i totally agree too, i love deadpool so much, he was basically the character that has recently got me interested in comics after just being a marvel movie fan, but the CHIMICHANGAS bs is cringy as hell
***** Exactly if you don't like Deadpool that's you're opinion. Why would people not like you for having an different opinion of theirs. Oh yea fanboys. Now if this was a Hawkeye rant...then I'd probably get a little irritated.
Agreed! I feel like he got popular just because of his game in 2013 and kids these days love games with that kind of stuff. It's not like when he first appeared in new mutants #98 back in 1992. I will say that yes he is a good character but our society and new generation is making him look like a internet meme.
+8bitkill Right how dare kids love deadpool without knowing his history. THOSE SCUMBAGS! To like something you most know EVERYTHING about it -_- really guys? Also, he mainly got popular when the deadpool game was trying to get hyped up. A lot of youtubers, most note worthy that I can remember is TotalBiscuit talked about it in the TGS Podcast. That was my first introduction to deadpool. TH-camrs + the hype for the game is what made him popular. That is my theory. Plus everyone likes following the crowd so all the deadpool fanboys got really vocal and the crowd followed.
+SirStriped I never said they couldnt like deadpool, but they should at least get to understand something instead of bandwagoning the instant they find out about something
8bitkill That is just human nature. Look at religions, most people couldnt read so they bandwagoned to church to hear what some priests opinion on the book was.
Drake, you should give Gerry Dugan's Deadpool The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly a try That really shows the tragically scarred side of Deadpool's character and showing that he's not always a "HAHAHA! LOL!" character.
I know what you mean by over exposure. I know people who wear Deadpool shirts, but when I ask them something about the character all they can tell me is he likes Mexican food. They've never picked up a comic book in their life but they love Deadpool. It just baffle a me.
Ya, deadpool cosplayers can be the worst. Besides them climbing stuff, being rude to security, staff, or people doing panels, I saw one kid actually break part of someones really cool anime-ish costume as a joke. They were heartbroken and the deadpool kid just shrugged it off. It probably took a lot of time, money, and effort to create that costume too. If anyone wants to dress up like deadpool and become the character fine, but remember to still be respectful to others and realize that in real life your actions have consequences.
But what about his recent "sad clown" phase? His original sin arc, his death? All of these showed a more serious side to deadpool, and if its a balance of silly and serious you want the imho the deadpool kills line (while a bit less well written) has just that.
TheAce736 very true. combined with the story ark of The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly that actully gets depressing. Deadpool actually goes SILENT for a while...
TheAce736 I was gonna mention sad clown Deadpool bc he gained a lot more character and became a real somewhat relatable person, and by relatable I mean him wanting to protect his family and friends
Robert Mesko If you read the Joe Kelly issues of Deadpool (which was the beginning of his first ongoing solo title) you would see he was re-gaining that personality.
Silly and Serious? Now he's Spider-Man now? He already rips off Spidey's comedy dialouge witty banter. We need him to steal more from the actual character now?
Deadpool was an example of what NOT to do, and deathstroke was an example of what TO do in my eyes. Idk, I guess I like serious characters cause I can relate to them more, then heart of gold or silly characters.
I'm glad to see someone like that. To me, dead pool isn't badass cuz he's not serious, but Deathstroke is a cold mercenary, which is much more badass than the silliness of deadpool
i feel you, man. he’s just a very “HAHA IM LOUD AND RANDOM WHAT I HAVE VOICES HAHAHA IM SO WEIRD” he’s just turned into the “i’m edgy and cool and subversive i’m 12” comic book character.
I prefer Deathpool the Obnoxious to Deadpool the Murderer. It's like after all the killing he's done, something inside of him has snapped. He's realised that he's a fictional character. He's realised that nothing he does matters anymore. So he's obnoxious. Hoping that people will get tired of him and let him fade into obscurity. So he won't exist anymore. That's just my interpretation.
Thanks! Originally, I was just including them (like the mustache and sombrero) to reference Deadpool. Still, I think they turned out pretty well! If more people say they like them, I might make 'em a regular part of my videos!
Tbh I do agree with drake I tried reading deadpool 2013 for marvel now and it was like reading the kid at back of class who thinks there funny but they aint
I completely agree, I feel like deadpool had more of a character and was more sympathetic in the old ones, showing envy for wolverine about being forgiven for his past, and in my opinion showed more of his damaged psyche. I feel like he was smarter in the old ones, and the ones have made him more immature.
as a fan of deadpool of some time i fully agree with you yet i still am a fan of the character. the sad thing about deadpool that it's becoming more and more of a "meme" character than the funny yet badshit crazy mercenary he used to be. and in the same run you said you hated here if you keep on reading up to the "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly" you'd find that story to be one of the best deadpool arcs Ever. it balanced one liners and comedy with brutal truth and deep emotions which in my opinion is just the right mix to talk about deadpool. "the world sucks so just laugh at it anyway" kind of idea. yet to get there you had to read throw the dreary meme generator that it the zombie presidents story first. which is probably the problem his writers must always face. in my opinion the main deadpool stories should be a bit more serious without letting go of some comedy on the side and let the character go all out in spin off's like his many team-up titles... wow that comment was longer than i thought it would be sorry for writing forever lol *if you're still reading i mean :P*
Honestly my favorite deadpool run is the 2008 series, I don't remember who wrote it (It's been a while) but I thought it was the best characterization of him. Yes, the humor was still there, but I feel it was more tolerable. Additionally, it showed a side of him which we haven't seen as of late - his clever side. Nowadays he's kind of an idiot, but in that series at least I personally noticed how clever he was, thinking of interesting ways to murder whomever. That, and he didn't really lean more on the heroic side, he was basically just neutral, doing whatever he had to do for money. That, and the art was quite solid. All in all if you haven't read it, I highly suggest you do (especially if you like Deadpool).
A3S0MY0GURT972 I think deadpools healing factor is just better than death strokes plus deadpool had that sword so he would have won any way. Sooooo....please don't be mad.
In other words, don't just have an ice-cream drink that's ONLY chocolate - the taste loses its charm after a while and just feels like sticky icky water. Chocolate goes well with other things, like... bananas? Chimichangas?
Deadpool is what happens when you put Deathstroke, Lobo, and Ambush Bug in a blender and all the interesting parts of each character cancel each other out.
I no nothing of Deadpool's early comic appearance but all I know is, I can't stand what the character is now. He comes off as insipid and obnoxious as any character conceived by Seth MacFarlane.
It seems like even though you said that some of the points were personal beef, you did a great job backing them. Time to share this to my Deadpool friend and piss him off.
Joe Kelly is Deadpool's best writer. He's funny, but he has his serious moments too. Posehn and Duggan's Deadpool started off kind of meh with the dead presidents, but after that it really hit it's stride and had a lot of funny and serious moments. Daniel Way is the one that ruined Deadpool with the "lolsorandom never serious" shit.
I feel like one of the most TRUE representations Deadpool’s DEPRESSION is in “Deadpool and the infinity gauntlet”. He knows he’s a character fabricated to make people laugh and give them entertainment and all the torture he has experienced through his life is because of the writers and readers. In the comic I previously mentioned, he puts on a comedy show for some of it and then uses the time stone to stop time and tell you, the reader, how terrible you are for letting this happen. People don’t understand that he makes jokes to ease his pain of knowing he doesn’t exist and was made for laughs, and now he’s nothing more than a trend for cosplayers and memers.
I have bit opposite opinion, I don't find older Deadpool comics that good, but I love what they have been doing character since v.3. I tried to start up reading Deadpool on v.2, didn't quite like how Way seemed just to care about gore and jokes, tried v.1 and found Kelly's stuff even less appealing- but Duggan's run is what I like about Deadpool. Anti-heroic character who jokes around, tries being hero, but fucks up all the time and has some drama and heart-feeling moments.
Mrpanda I think so...was it part of Vol 3? My Deadpool reads includes: Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe (didn't really care for it), Deadpool Vs Carnage, all of Deadpool Vol 3 up to #35, and Deadpool the gauntlet...I said #25 earlier, my bad it's 35
Nah man I getcha I love deadpool but some people write him really shittily, some people just make him a caricature of random humor rather than an actual character, trust me when deadpool gets a good writer it's gets amazing
Well friend, welcome aboard the U.S.S. ComicDrake! I would say this from the ComicDrake account, but I'm on my phone and am too lazy to switch accounts! ;P
I've only met one nice Deadpool cosplayer, but this was a guy from a cosplay group who also ran some panels at the con and helped out in general. Rather than focusing on the obnoxious parts of Deadpool's personality, when interacting with other attendees he was respectful but fun - complimenting people's costumes, promoting events etc. while making some light jokes. At a panel he ran on getting into cosplay he actually spoke about interacting with others and how to be polite and understanding - as far as I'm concerned, this is the kind of attitude all cosplayers should have.
I think I get you, as you brought up Gravity Falls that show was known to be silly but it had tackled certain dilemmas and drama and just stop to be serious for a moment while doing some character development. You wanted Deadpool to be more than a lost Loony Tunes character and you know what I agree. Deadpool can still be this silly, over-the-top, merc with a mouth we all know and familiarize with, but without any other substance it might be holding DP back a bit. Also the fan base might need to dial it back a bit, doesn't mean you cosplay the character doesn't mean you have to act like the character (especially when hundred of others are doing the same) however I do have to disagree about your issue about Harley mainly because that's just DC being competitive against Marvel (you know cause their big comic book companies) it's not their fault that Deadpool became so popular, they were doing their own thing and DC thought "Heh, is this what Marvel's been doing? We can do better than that" you can't blame the product for being the product, you blame the people behind it.
i agree with what your saying, completely. sure deadpool is a fine character, absolutly no question there. But i think in the inherent problem is with the fans, just like any other fanbase, the deadpool fans are insane. just about every single video regarding deadpool the fanbase is always acting like he's the greatest character ever and he can so no wrong, and thats what bothers me. the fanbase has ruined deadpool for me, because any time i say anything negative about him im almost instantly crucified for my opinion, and this doesn't just go for myself. Even the comments here are a prime example of this behaviour. the fans call you stupid or retarded for giving arguments as to why we have our own opinion, but never give counter arguments to us and proceed with acting like we are the worst human beings on the planet. So to all the deadpool fans, give us an argument, explain why you think the way you do, instead of getting angry, act like normal human beings.
A thing i noticed with deadpool fans is how theyre allergic to any form of criticism, like they think anything he does is funny same way eminem fans think anything he releases is gold. I dont care that you like him but everybody has a few duds once in a while
Brave thing to say on the internet and I post this as someone who's favourite hero is Deadpool. I know this was posted a while ago so I wonder if you read his most recent adventures. Deadpool has been moving away from the whole with the whole 'merc with the mouth' angle, hell, the word 'chimichangas' hasn't been uttered once in the most recent volume (except for #27 but that was in a short story under a different writer). Maybe you've seen more recently that's he's less of an anti-hero, he's now a true hero. He's had to meet his daughter, he's faced the man that tortured him, he had to murder an entire organisation of terrorists and gave up his Deadpool identity. I dunno, maybe have a look at some recent issues and storylines, in particular 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly', 'Original Sin' and 'Axis'. These have made Deadpool a better character and hero in my eyes than the goddamn Batman. (And I'm not gonna make any friends saying that to people) You've earned youself a subscriber. I look forward to watching some of your other videos.
Definetly Batman, he is super overrated. He would get his ass kicked by any superhero. Batman is by far the most overrated character in all of comic books. Also Batman, has been boring for over 20 years. Also, I can tell you have not read deadpool very recently. Read Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe and What is going on with him recently in original sin. I mean this nicely but you seem to be saying a lot of things just because its "the opposite of the norm"
Very good points. I am a Deadpool fan and I like the "LOLOLOL SO SILLY" sometimes, but I do agree that it's not a good style for the most part. One thing I'm wondering, what's your opinion on Deadpool's more "serious" stories, like Good Bad and The Ugly, his Original Sin tie-in, The Death of Deadpool, The Night of The Living Deadpool/Return of The Living Deadpool were also fairly serious and so is Deadpool Vs. Thanos, which are really good books not even for just Deadpool standards. Also, if you've read it what so you think of the Spider Man and Deadpool series?
I've met and hung out/got drunk with a nice Deadpool cosplayer back at youmacon 2011. but I agree dude, Marvel goes along with the pop culture trends too much and hurt their characters for it. this last year of Spider-Man comics (with the exception of the great Renew Your Vows story) is why I resent Marvel
Deadpool can be written very well or very poorly. When the writers treat Deadpool as a character who makes jokes, it can be fun, funny and interesting and well-written. When the writer treats Deadpool as a joke, it comes off as obnoxious, unfunny and as you described. This is one of the reasons he often is better in stories where he co-stars or is a member of a team.
I agree. It's like how all these teens here in the western world like anime that is more dramatic than comedic and has more of a western-style. Things like Attack on Titan are crappy to me, imo. I'd rather something that has a healthy mixture of drama and comedy (like romcoms, romantic comedies, literally a mixture of drama and fun). These kids need to grow up and stop trying to act like an adult by rejecting any bit of fun/comedy from their anime. It's healthy to have both comedy and drama. It's why chaika's successful, why toradora was liked by people, why gekkan shoujo nozaki-kun was well received by the pricks at /a/, if you're looking for a more recent example.
What kind of teenagers have you been talking to? We like AOT because it's good, not because it's dramatic, or because we want to be more adult. I have yet to see any teen who only watches dramas and animes without fun. That's a pretty big generalization your throwing out there, buddy. I'd say you watch your back for the trolls and angry 3 year olds lurking round here…
That's not what I was trying to say, dude. I was just stating that is never seen any teen like that, and that the whole, 'teenagers only watch dramatic animes to be more mature' generalization, is a pretty dangerous (and inaccurate) one to have. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Maybe so. It's a generalization, but I'm a teen with anime-watching friends, and I'm literally the only one of my friends who know of these anime. The reason a lot of teens curse excessively is because they want to A) reject society's taboos and B) look older (because kids dont curse and adults do). Do you agree with Drake's point? If you do, you're countering your own argument. Just saying.
I'm a teen as well, and haven't heard of any of those, but NOT for the reasons that you think. I LOVE funny animes like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and stuff like it, but some times, I just want to settle down with something a bit more serious, like Sword Art Online. I just like to watch whatever my friends suggest, or whatever I happen to stumble upon that I'm genuinely interested in. Regarding Drake's point, I can't agree or disagree. I like humor of all types, and just stick to whatever I'm feeling at the time. And wit the cursing thing, I understand that there are teens and kids who curse just to look more mature, but, to me, they're so few and far between that I don't even notice them when they are. Most people I know who curse only do it for emphasis, or for lack of a better word. But hey. We live in two different parts of the Earth, and I guess kids and teens over here are just a bit different. It's just a matter of perspective
I HATED Deadpool until I read the run of comics by Joe Kelly. It wasn't just a bunch of endless off the wall craziness and 4th wall breaks. Deadpool was a real character given a full arc. He was a bad person trying to find redemption. The most "meta" the series got was issue 11 where Deadpool travels back in time and winds up in an old issue of Amazing Spider-man from when Stan Lee was writing the book. The jokes were clever and it wasn't just "LOL, we're in a comic!!!! Comics are weird!" If none of you have read the Joe Kelly run I highly recommend it.
I've been reading Joe Kelly's run recently and I wish I read it earlier. I skipped out on it because my main exposure to the merc with a mouth was memepool, and I just thought that's what all iterations of him were like. The story and humor here were great.
I've never heard anyone say that they preferred early Deadpool to new Deadpool. It generally seemed like people thought early deadpool was a generic boring character. I think Deadpool's best stories are where he's working around existing characters.
I think he's like this because it's all writers have to go on. His back story is vague, and so are his powers. I think if his origin was definite and finalized, it would be easier to touch an emotional side of his character and he might develop a seriousness to him. All he is as of now is a personality. Not that he shouldn't be funny, he is the merc with a mouth after all.
Eh I kinda agree but as you said before I think. There isn't a bad character only bad writers. I enjoyed the deadpool movies and personally enjoy that depiction of him.
After watching the video I understand what you mean regarding all the stuff about Deadpool, in fact, I can agree with most of that stuff on some levels, but honestly man...... "Why I HATE Deadpool"........ that was honestly just shameless click-baiting, and after watching the video I can clearly tell that you don't hate Deadpool, you just don't like most of his comics, and I understand that, I also didn't personally enjoy his Marvel NOW run, and sometimes the cosplayers can be real dicks, but Deadpool does have his moments, and I think that those little moments are just enough to keep me hoping that something better will come.
I LOVE how honest you are. And honestly, Im a Deadpool fan and I don't think he is worth the hype. I feel like his movie was made for the Deadpool FANS, and alot of people jumped on the "Deadpool Bandwagon" therefore overhyping him. Now I cant take part in any Marvel activity (such as Videogames and Merchandise ) without Deadpool being some top-notch, overpriced "LEGEND", which he isn't. I feel it was better when Deadpool was some low-key badass that barely anyone liked. But now everyone absolutely loves him, acting like they were fans before the movie. (Liars). I hope its all over, and I can go back to loving the Deadpool I used to know.
We had a marvel character that was known for being the wisecracking comedian and overly vocal mouthpiece of making fun of anything with a lot of tounge in cheek awareness of his own world. His name was Spider-Man. Deadpool is trying or attempting to be the Spiderman of edgy anti heroes in order to be marvel's number one most popular character. That's why I hate him.
Deadpool isn't funny, he's obnoxiously childish and annoying. He exists purely to appease fanboys with "badassery". He makes sex jokes all the time, breaks the fourth wall, and has ridiculously over-graphic violence just for the sake of being edgy. On top of that, he's shoved down my throat every day by fanboys and he's just a cheap Deathstroke knock-off. And the fact that he always becomes a cartoon character whenever he's on-screen makes me hate him even more. He's by far my least favourite Marvel character EVER.
***** That's not my point, i know he can share his opinion in any media he wants, but why should he try to clarify the "how"s and "why"s to people who doesnt share or try to find a common point of interest?
Don't agree with you on Harley, but Deadpool is seriously broken when it comes to how people use him. He kills the whole Marvel universe? Kiss my ass that's BS. And the fact you see him absolutely everywhere doesn't help in the slightest.
Deadpool works best with a straight man. Be it Cable, Spider-Man or some stoic faced enemy. But yes. The whole multiverse of Deadpools made it clear how one note the character can be if mishandled
The set up is that in the real world people use hit or miss comedy to be more relatable, but become increasingly more annoying. The punch line is that Deadpool uses comedy for the purpose of being annoying, but the annoyance level is what's hit or miss and he becomes more relatable in certain areas. And why I find it funny is because I've been exposed to want-a-be comedians a few times too many and I know what zero personality REALLY looks like. Seeing someone intentionally annoy people is very intriguing to me.
There was an awesome Deadpool cosplayer at Toronto comic Con who stood really still, then put his hand out saying "High Five!" People jumped, including me.
I honestly went into this thinking I was going to get pissed off at a hater, but I can totally see your point on Deadpool's current run. I'm a HUGE fan of Daniel Way's run in Deadpool, but the current run with Posehn and Duggan is WAY over the top and really takes away from my favorite comic book character. And I'm sorry to hear that you've never run into a nice Deadpool cosplayer. I agree that being in character isn't an excuse for douchebaggery, but I personally haven't had any bad experiences. When I went to SDCC I met a really nice one who went around in a Slave Leia costume though.
Someone else might have said it in the comments, but I'm not going to dig through 2000+ things. Technically Harley would be a jugalette, not a juggalo, because she's female.
I agree with you about deadpool cosplayers being jerks, a deadpool cosplayer grab my girlfriends breasts so I punch him in the face and asked why I did that... He said he was in character, so I told him I was in character too, and punch him.
+navioner i really like deadpool the only thing i hate abot him is that his fanbace are mostly dicks and they are ruinning deadpool.
by the way good on ya for punching that guy he deserves it.
Lol You don't have to grab people's boobs to be Deadpool.
+navioner Not even Deadpool is that much of a dick, so he wasn't even doing the character well
I hate Deadpool... but that never happened.
well done.
I don't get why people think that if you DON'T LIKE something, it automatically means you HATE it.
Even if you do hate it. It’s your opinion not theirs.
On the contrary Drake, you've earned a subscriber.
While I personally enjoy the character of Deadpool, you've shown that you have the balls to be your own person, regardless of who is watching, and make valid points to back up your arguments. I respect that, so even if you end up hating every single character I like (which is highly unlikely), you've got a fan in me.

Yea, Deadpool nowadays is pretty Try-Hard.
@@grug1343 No.
Deadpool is one of those type of characters that tries *way* too hard, especially with his jokes.
I love Goofyball Superheroes like Freakazoid, Earthworm Jim, Plastic Man and Rick Sanchez,But I feel like DC and Marvel are working too hard on Deadpool and Harley Quinn. I know who those are popular because I'm myself am a fan of Deadpool and Harley Quinn, but Jesus Chris The Studios should make Plastic man,Freakazoid or The Creeper (Jack Ryder) animated series instead of relying on Deadpool and Harley Qiunn.
cancerjuly1989 that’s what makes him funny
Exactly
H-Man He seems more depressing than than funny. Wade use humor as a defense mechanism. Honestly, I wouldn't blame him. He has plenty of mental issues. From schizophrenia, to selective memories, to ptsd, to manic depressive episodes. Also knowing the fact he's immortal, so for him wishing for death every day seems to make sense for him. It's funny how I used hate this character back in the day, now with more understanding I can say that he's the most tragic character in comics.
"Pinned by Comic Drake"
I find Deadpool REALLY annoying
fucking same
Ya I agree his humor gets old fast.
Wow ,Well thank you....:'(
I'm sad now
Deadpool - ikr :'(
Yeah, I get comments all the time to do a Deadpool video, but I really don't care for the character and I don't want to make a video about something I'm not 100% enthusiastic about.
Oh dang. I didn't realize anybody watched what I do, haha. Man, that episode was a long time ago. I'm amazed that you held on that long. I stopped watching my own videos a while ago. The host is pretty annoying.
Good to see someone acknowledge that quite a few people don't like Deadpool. Still, the movie should be good. So, Scott, when's the Deadpool episode coming out? :)
Frost Marvel Believe it or not, there is a Deadpool episode in the works. And it's an actual Misconception about the character. I bought something off of eBay recently that should help with the episode. Look forward to it in the next few months!
***** Here comes 100k subscribers...
Frost Marvel Well, it's been almost a year now since I made a video that said "We're working on a Deadpool episode." I feel like I need to deliver on that.
you know what ruined to deadpool? memes.
And Daniel Way
Deathstroke is better than Deadpool trust me bro
@@JaredShemY this is coming from a guy who’s never read a Joe Kelly run. If you actually read that run from 1997 you would realize Deadpool is one of the best written characters ever. But I think you just only really know about his crappy flanderized counterpart from Daniel Way’s run.
@@Flungz_99 I actually just read the Joe Kelly stuff and its great. Felt like Wade's jokes had depth to them instead of just dropping random one liners. Kind of wish more Deadpool stories were like that and not Memepool. I can't stand Memepool, especially now knowing he could have been something so much better.
@@shinyocelot04archive If you want a definitive voice too, check out John Kassir, not only is he the first Deadpool ever but the most accurate voice.
Honestly, not a single lie was spoken.
Therai Zephyr If it's his opinion though, how can it be true. I'm not saying he's wrong, I'm just saying, an opinion can't be right or wrong cause you can't prove it.
I hate how Deadpool is pretty much just used to sell Hot Topic products and everyone's reasons for liking him is because he is "Crazy" when he isn't.
I mean I think he was always a little crazy but yeah in the comics he's not completely crazy and he had touching moments with people like saving a person from suicide and refusing to kill a kid in the X Force comics
He reminds me of when Family Guy was first started getting popular in 2006, and the headache that was. People liked the show for similar reasons.
Interesting...you in fact like Deadpool himself, you just can't stand how he's being handled in most comics. I can agree with that...sometimes Deadpool can be a surprisingly serious character and, to me, he actually comes off as funny when he genuinely tries to be serious, because "serious" is not a normal Deadpool behaviour. I'm all for rude juvenile jokes, but sometimes they get over used.
+Comic Drake I am 100% with you Drake, and the fanbase is bad... I like Deadpool, but I see where you are coming from - And as I am in the UK, We don't get so much of an issue with Cosplay (Yet!)... A shame as I would like to get involved in that - But I am 100% sure when it does take off, we will get some real Assholes donning the Deadpool Costume, and trust me... They will make your Stateside lot look tame!!!
Seriously, When Brits start being assholes, We make the US look like a Utopia!!! So a Brit in a Deadpool outfit... Oh Jesus!!!
Id take the ironic in-universe humor over "forced meme" and constant 4th wall humor.
@@GeteMachine 4th wall breaks are literally written into the character because he has schizophrenia
This many dislikes? Wow Deadpool fans are easily triggered.
Rin actually its cause he kinda just stereotypes dead pool fans
Sooooo...
This guy can say he doesn't like Deadpool, but Deadpool fans can't disagree by dislike the video ? Because... they dislike the author's opinion ?
Julien Etherion exactly! Long live Deadpool!!!
Julien Etherion implying that fans can’t just angrily press the button without expressing themselves?
Loki Laufeyson No
Dude you were spot on with this. I get a lot of hate for not wanting to see Deadpool, but i cant stomach any more "super witty, sarcastic, silly" quips from Marvel characters any longer. They ruined Age of Ultron by making every other line that came out of an Avenger's mouth something that tried too hard to be funny and clever. So i dont need an ENTIRE movie and superhero dedicated to that cheap humor.
Jesus I hated Age of Ultron, because of Ultron's personality in that movie. The sarcastic pretentious crap. Tony Stark, Spiderman and Bruce Banner are the only characters it makes sense with it supported in their characters to do it. Bruce Banner does it to suppress his anger, and Spiderman is supposed to be young, and does it because he lets go of his day to day Peter Parker insecurity behind the mask. But, the Marvel movies being known for this with all the characters in the Avengers gets a bit annoying, from every other Superhero movies trying to do it or criticized if they don't to characters like Thor who aren't supposed to be witty all the time, becoming that. It just doesn't fit Thor. Black Panther and Captain America might be the only movies that don't rely on it. Yet still successful.
@@GeteMachine i think im in the minority who doesnt hate ultron in the mcu, him having a bit more human of a personality, i can attribute to the mind stone, an embodiment of ai given sentience. I think that is pretty good reasoning why he can understand theology(not saying he is theist, he clearly views himself as the god) and philosophy, which the former isnt really considered a rational school of thought and the human condition is very complicated. A combination, a symbiosis of man and machine conceptually is leaps and bounds the next step of human evolution, an ai might make what we consider "stupid mistakes" but ai just needs raw computing power to bruteforce through the intended result combine both pros of being human and machine you get something incredible, assuming it is even possible of course.
Don't say stupid things.
@@GeteMachineTony Stark before the movies was not a wise ass in thr comics.
Why in the world should I unsub to you!? You state your (unpopular) opinion and, like every opinion, I respect it. That's what I hate about the internet. When you state your own honest opinion none or only a very few agree to, you're mostly likely branded 1. a troll or 2. a douchebag. Can't we just respect each other's opinion and reasons?
***** Ikr, that's why I love your Unpopular Opinions vids over at Trailer Drake. They give us a forum where we can let go off our opinions freely. Keep up the great work - on both of your channels ;)
***** AWESOME - can't wait. Well, actually take your time and make it awesome.
I respect your opinion . Even though my username and Avatar have Deadpool I think Groot might stay timeless. You have a awesome tree monster who destroys enemies with ease and also is funny and has a heart of gold .
***** Next time you should talk about more underrated characters
I swear someone told me to kill myself because I like my steaks well done -_-
How about the fact that Deadpool is just a poor mans ripoff of She-Hulk as written by John Byrne? She-Hulk was doing the whole, breaking the fourth wall, bringing back old characters, etc thing a full decade before Deadpool ever even appeared in any comic. And all without being a psychopathic, homicidal maniac. In other word whilst still being a good guy.
The comics and movies don't do the psychopathic, homicidal maniac thing right, either. They have him doing standup comedy while killing armed men. Realistically, he'd be shooting up high schools and colleges, have a torture cellar and his jokes would sound more like Freddy Kruger's or Hannibal Lecter's TV material.
I agree with pretty much everything you've said here. The over-exposure of Deadpool and Harley Quinn is getting really annoying. Not that I don't like them (I liked Harley in the Suicide Squad movie and I adore the Deadpool movie), but I agree that the (as you put it) "LOL LOL SILLY RANDOM" brand of humour is REALLY grating on me.
Although Deadpool did re-introduce the stupid awesomeness that is Brute Force, so there's that.
I can live with Harley Quinn, but I don't like how they just use her for fanservice and dressing her up like a millennial now. Shes a character that I ironically think would work better if she was more like deadpool herself and less dumb. While Deadpool to me is just a little too off the wall wacky for me to see it as anything to surprise me anymore. I'd only suggest it for Harley because she was originally supposed to be a clown. Not a stripper.
Yeah, I've joked in the past that Harley is just being transformed into walking fan service :P
I also agree. My favorite part about Deadpool is that despite his insanity and general weirdness he comes up some absolutely brilliant plans and actually clever jokes occasionally. My favorite was in Deadpool kills Deadpool where he uses his alternate universe clone's teleportation belt to teleport him in half because they have the same voice for the belt's voice recognition system.
i totally agree too, i love deadpool so much, he was basically the character that has recently got me interested in comics after just being a marvel movie fan, but the CHIMICHANGAS bs is cringy as hell
I really like how fearless are you to loose watchers
***** THIS.
THIS is why I love you, Drake.
***** Exactly if you don't like Deadpool that's you're opinion. Why would people not like you for having an different opinion of theirs. Oh yea fanboys.
Now if this was a Hawkeye rant...then I'd probably get a little irritated.
Deadpool = Meme
That's not a good thing. He's only good when he's with Taskmaster or balanced out by someone else. On his own he's pure garbage.
Bring back cable!!
What do you mean "on his own he's garbage"? He's fucking immortal.
Force0fWi11
He's a corny character by himself. Powers don't make a character good especially invincibility.
+BasedDeath Fafy writing makes a character good and deadppools character sells its self the movie was pretty good
+Cordarro Reynolds Deadpool hasn't had good writing some 99' and that movie was complete ass.
I agree. I hate that characters have been changed to match the random and stupid nature of whatever the cause is.
KIds these days dont even know the history of deadpool, yet they love him so much
Agreed! I feel like he got popular just because of his game in 2013 and kids these days love games with that kind of stuff. It's not like when he first appeared in new mutants #98 back in 1992. I will say that yes he is a good character but our society and new generation is making him look like a internet meme.
+SpideyFTW 357 Trust me... that game did not make him popular.
+8bitkill Right how dare kids love deadpool without knowing his history. THOSE SCUMBAGS! To like something you most know EVERYTHING about it -_- really guys? Also, he mainly got popular when the deadpool game was trying to get hyped up. A lot of youtubers, most note worthy that I can remember is TotalBiscuit talked about it in the TGS Podcast. That was my first introduction to deadpool. TH-camrs + the hype for the game is what made him popular. That is my theory. Plus everyone likes following the crowd so all the deadpool fanboys got really vocal and the crowd followed.
+SirStriped I never said they couldnt like deadpool, but they should at least get to understand something instead of bandwagoning the instant they find out about something
8bitkill That is just human nature. Look at religions, most people couldnt read so they bandwagoned to church to hear what some priests opinion on the book was.
OMG, he's such a comic book hipster bluh bleh blah blah
😂
Drake, you should give Gerry Dugan's Deadpool The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly a try
That really shows the tragically scarred side of Deadpool's character and showing that he's not always a "HAHAHA! LOL!" character.
No it's, LOL LOL LOL Silly Random!
I know what you mean by over exposure. I know people who wear Deadpool shirts, but when I ask them something about the character all they can tell me is he likes Mexican food. They've never picked up a comic book in their life but they love Deadpool. It just baffle a me.
Ya, deadpool cosplayers can be the worst. Besides them climbing stuff, being rude to security, staff, or people doing panels, I saw one kid actually break part of someones really cool anime-ish costume as a joke. They were heartbroken and the deadpool kid just shrugged it off. It probably took a lot of time, money, and effort to create that costume too. If anyone wants to dress up like deadpool and become the character fine, but remember to still be respectful to others and realize that in real life your actions have consequences.
Honestly the real Deadpool would be more likely to walk around and take selfies with other heroes and little kids than caused that much chaos.
Just blame the writers
But what about his recent "sad clown" phase? His original sin arc, his death? All of these showed a more serious side to deadpool, and if its a balance of silly and serious you want the imho the deadpool kills line (while a bit less well written) has just that.
TheAce736 very true. combined with the story ark of The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly that actully gets depressing. Deadpool actually goes SILENT for a while...
TheAce736 I was gonna mention sad clown Deadpool bc he gained a lot more character and became a real somewhat relatable person, and by relatable I mean him wanting to protect his family and friends
Robert Mesko If you read the Joe Kelly issues of Deadpool (which was the beginning of his first ongoing solo title) you would see he was re-gaining that personality.
Silly and Serious? Now he's Spider-Man now? He already rips off Spidey's comedy dialouge witty banter. We need him to steal more from the actual character now?
Comic drake, more like i havent done enough reasearch for this deadpool rant - drake
Deadpool was an example of what NOT to do, and deathstroke was an example of what TO do in my eyes. Idk, I guess I like serious characters cause I can relate to them more, then heart of gold or silly characters.
I'm glad to see someone like that. To me, dead pool isn't badass cuz he's not serious, but Deathstroke is a cold mercenary, which is much more badass than the silliness of deadpool
Yup. Deathstroke even looks more badass
***** Whine much? And I actually like both equally.
***** Ok
***** For what?
i feel you, man. he’s just a very “HAHA IM LOUD AND RANDOM WHAT I HAVE VOICES HAHAHA IM SO WEIRD” he’s just turned into the “i’m edgy and cool and subversive i’m 12” comic book character.
Exactly
another person that has never actually reas a deadpool comic or understands his character smh
I prefer Deathpool the Obnoxious to Deadpool the Murderer.
It's like after all the killing he's done, something inside of him has snapped.
He's realised that he's a fictional character.
He's realised that nothing he does matters anymore.
So he's obnoxious.
Hoping that people will get tired of him and let him fade into obscurity.
So he won't exist anymore.
That's just my interpretation.
A valid theory
A valid theory
If only it were that deep.....it's kinda backfired
+FeatheredCrow dude that could possibly be a series for deadpool one day
I like the editorial balloons, it's a nice touch
Thanks! Originally, I was just including them (like the mustache and sombrero) to reference Deadpool. Still, I think they turned out pretty well! If more people say they like them, I might make 'em a regular part of my videos!
Deadpool's jokes dont land at all
Tbh I do agree with drake I tried reading deadpool 2013 for marvel now and it was like reading the kid at back of class who thinks there funny but they aint
I think his funny when he takes moment for the jokes to land and breath for a second or would be.
I completely agree, I feel like deadpool had more of a character and was more sympathetic in the old ones, showing envy for wolverine about being forgiven for his past, and in my opinion showed more of his damaged psyche. I feel like he was smarter in the old ones, and the ones have made him more immature.
Yeah the video game ruined him
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly arc is a more serious arc coming from a newer Deadpool comic.
Deadpool is a Spaniard 🇪🇸
as a fan of deadpool of some time i fully agree with you yet i still am a fan of the character.
the sad thing about deadpool that it's becoming more and more of a "meme" character than the funny yet badshit crazy mercenary he used to be. and in the same run you said you hated here if you keep on reading up to the "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly" you'd find that story to be one of the best deadpool arcs Ever. it balanced one liners and comedy with brutal truth and deep emotions which in my opinion is just the right mix to talk about deadpool. "the world sucks so just laugh at it anyway" kind of idea. yet to get there you had to read throw the dreary meme generator that it the zombie presidents story first. which is probably the problem his writers must always face.
in my opinion the main deadpool stories should be a bit more serious without letting go of some comedy on the side and let the character go all out in spin off's like his many team-up titles...
wow that comment was longer than i thought it would be sorry for writing forever lol *if you're still reading i mean :P*
Honestly my favorite deadpool run is the 2008 series, I don't remember who wrote it (It's been a while) but I thought it was the best characterization of him. Yes, the humor was still there, but I feel it was more tolerable. Additionally, it showed a side of him which we haven't seen as of late - his clever side. Nowadays he's kind of an idiot, but in that series at least I personally noticed how clever he was, thinking of interesting ways to murder whomever. That, and he didn't really lean more on the heroic side, he was basically just neutral, doing whatever he had to do for money. That, and the art was quite solid. All in all if you haven't read it, I highly suggest you do (especially if you like Deadpool).
Kind of an idiot? The dude was a flat out dipshit in the movies.
I just subscribe because I f****** hate Deadpool. You are the best
Becca Mueller I hate him too.
Death Stroke of course you hate him I would hate someone if they killed me in a death battle to
WarDemonXD That death battle was not made to inspire logic, It was made to make fans satisfied.
Death Stroke thats why theres super powered beat down. THAT is done with votes
A3S0MY0GURT972 I think deadpools healing factor is just better than death strokes plus deadpool had that sword so he would have won any way. Sooooo....please don't be mad.
In other words, don't just have an ice-cream drink that's ONLY chocolate - the taste loses its charm after a while and just feels like sticky icky water. Chocolate goes well with other things, like... bananas? Chimichangas?
This is basically my reasons why I dont like him... they gone over board with him
Deadpool is what happens when you put Deathstroke, Lobo, and Ambush Bug in a blender and all the interesting parts of each character cancel each other out.
He used to have more deaths in video game ruined him he uses humor to cope with depression
Plastic man jokes > Deadpool jokes
I no nothing of Deadpool's early comic appearance but all I know is, I can't stand what the character is now. He comes off as insipid and obnoxious as any character conceived by Seth MacFarlane.
It seems like even though you said that some of the points were personal beef, you did a great job backing them. Time to share this to my Deadpool friend and piss him off.
He got alittle butt hurt that someone dare speak ill of Deadpool, but he got over it once he was introduced to the concept "opinion"
the concept of deadpool sounds cool but deadpool just comes out to be annoying
*in a British accent:
you are an educated young fellow
Joe Kelly is Deadpool's best writer. He's funny, but he has his serious moments too.
Posehn and Duggan's Deadpool started off kind of meh with the dead presidents, but after that it really hit it's stride and had a lot of funny and serious moments.
Daniel Way is the one that ruined Deadpool with the "lolsorandom never serious" shit.
Makes me want to Cosplay as one of "The Boys" so I can have an excuse to beat the shit out of all the Deadpool Cosplayers I see.
Michael Jarrett that would be awesome.
I hope you get arrested
PukeBubble4
no u
You go bruv
Well it's your opinion, and I respect that.
I feel like one of the most TRUE representations Deadpool’s DEPRESSION is in “Deadpool and the infinity gauntlet”. He knows he’s a character fabricated to make people laugh and give them entertainment and all the torture he has experienced through his life is because of the writers and readers. In the comic I previously mentioned, he puts on a comedy show for some of it and then uses the time stone to stop time and tell you, the reader, how terrible you are for letting this happen. People don’t understand that he makes jokes to ease his pain of knowing he doesn’t exist and was made for laughs, and now he’s nothing more than a trend for cosplayers and memers.
Anyone with IQ above 90 will realise deadpool is FKIN overrated
I completely agree with this. It's like Deadpool has become a stereotype of himself.
I have bit opposite opinion, I don't find older Deadpool comics that good, but I love what they have been doing character since v.3. I tried to start up reading Deadpool on v.2, didn't quite like how Way seemed just to care about gore and jokes, tried v.1 and found Kelly's stuff even less appealing- but Duggan's run is what I like about Deadpool. Anti-heroic character who jokes around, tries being hero, but fucks up all the time and has some drama and heart-feeling moments.
haven't read vol 2 or 1, but I've read up to #25 in vol 3 and I love it.
Super Sablei
Has there been the good the bad the ugly storyline yet? That was some heavy shit :)
Mrpanda I think so...was it part of Vol 3? My Deadpool reads includes: Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe (didn't really care for it), Deadpool Vs Carnage, all of Deadpool Vol 3 up to #35, and Deadpool the gauntlet...I said #25 earlier, my bad it's 35
Super Sablei
Yes, it's part of v.3. DP, Cap and Wolverine visit North Korea in that one ^^
Mrpanda oh and then meets all those X-Men clones? Yeah, I read it. Pretty sad ending imo
The Whole chimychunga thing has been blown out of proportion by people who cosplay him but have never read a comic in there life. And I hate it
Nah man I getcha I love deadpool but some people write him really shittily, some people just make him a caricature of random humor rather than an actual character, trust me when deadpool gets a good writer it's gets amazing
Actually, you're wrong. You're not losing subs, you're gaining subs. Take me, for instance. I just subbed
Well friend, welcome aboard the U.S.S. ComicDrake! I would say this from the ComicDrake account, but I'm on my phone and am too lazy to switch accounts! ;P

Lol. Still, I'm glad to be aboard, and I agree with your rant. I like Deadpool, but I cant argue with your logic.
I hate the 'chimichangas' thing, people act like that's all dp does and says
I like both old Deadpool and modern but you're opinion is reasonable
I've only met one nice Deadpool cosplayer, but this was a guy from a cosplay group who also ran some panels at the con and helped out in general. Rather than focusing on the obnoxious parts of Deadpool's personality, when interacting with other attendees he was respectful but fun - complimenting people's costumes, promoting events etc. while making some light jokes. At a panel he ran on getting into cosplay he actually spoke about interacting with others and how to be polite and understanding - as far as I'm concerned, this is the kind of attitude all cosplayers should have.
I think I get you, as you brought up Gravity Falls that show was known to be silly but it had tackled certain dilemmas and drama and just stop to be serious for a moment while doing some character development. You wanted Deadpool to be more than a lost Loony Tunes character and you know what I agree. Deadpool can still be this silly, over-the-top, merc with a mouth we all know and familiarize with, but without any other substance it might be holding DP back a bit.
Also the fan base might need to dial it back a bit, doesn't mean you cosplay the character doesn't mean you have to act like the character (especially when hundred of others are doing the same) however I do have to disagree about your issue about Harley mainly because that's just DC being competitive against Marvel (you know cause their big comic book companies) it's not their fault that Deadpool became so popular, they were doing their own thing and DC thought "Heh, is this what Marvel's been doing? We can do better than that" you can't blame the product for being the product, you blame the people behind it.
I little bit of comedy is cool but every fucking second, that's what I hate of deadpool
i agree with what your saying, completely. sure deadpool is a fine character, absolutly no question there. But i think in the inherent problem is with the fans, just like any other fanbase, the deadpool fans are insane. just about every single video regarding deadpool the fanbase is always acting like he's the greatest character ever and he can so no wrong, and thats what bothers me. the fanbase has ruined deadpool for me, because any time i say anything negative about him im almost instantly crucified for my opinion, and this doesn't just go for myself. Even the comments here are a prime example of this behaviour. the fans call you stupid or retarded for giving arguments as to why we have our own opinion, but never give counter arguments to us and proceed with acting like we are the worst human beings on the planet. So to all the deadpool fans, give us an argument, explain why you think the way you do, instead of getting angry, act like normal human beings.
+Comic Drake Hating on Deadpool cosplayers is like hating on the mentally challenged... shame on you Drake.
A thing i noticed with deadpool fans is how theyre allergic to any form of criticism, like they think anything he does is funny same way eminem fans think anything he releases is gold. I dont care that you like him but everybody has a few duds once in a while
Man I would hate to be you, being miserable all the time sounds horrible man
Brave thing to say on the internet and I post this as someone who's favourite hero is Deadpool.
I know this was posted a while ago so I wonder if you read his most recent adventures.
Deadpool has been moving away from the whole with the whole 'merc with the mouth' angle, hell, the word 'chimichangas' hasn't been uttered once in the most recent volume (except for #27 but that was in a short story under a different writer).
Maybe you've seen more recently that's he's less of an anti-hero, he's now a true hero. He's had to meet his daughter, he's faced the man that tortured him, he had to murder an entire organisation of terrorists and gave up his Deadpool identity.
I dunno, maybe have a look at some recent issues and storylines, in particular 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly', 'Original Sin' and 'Axis'. These have made Deadpool a better character and hero in my eyes than the goddamn Batman. (And I'm not gonna make any friends saying that to people)
You've earned youself a subscriber. I look forward to watching some of your other videos.
I loooove Deadpool! Infact, he's my favorite Marvel character. But I can see where you're coming from.
He's garbage
Definetly Batman, he is super overrated. He would get his ass kicked by any superhero. Batman is by far the most overrated character in all of comic books. Also Batman, has been boring for over 20 years. Also, I can tell you have not read deadpool very recently. Read Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe and What is going on with him recently in original sin. I mean this nicely but you seem to be saying a lot of things just because its "the opposite of the norm"
I know. Let me say mine.
Nathan Long uh......are you going to reply?
The point of dead pool IS to be obnoxious. He isn't called the merc with the mouth for nuthin.
Deadpool is a character that Normies flock to when they want people to think they're edgy. Deadpool is the barbwire tattoo of the comic world.
Very good points. I am a Deadpool fan and I like the "LOLOLOL SO SILLY" sometimes, but I do agree that it's not a good style for the most part. One thing I'm wondering, what's your opinion on Deadpool's more "serious" stories, like Good Bad and The Ugly, his Original Sin tie-in, The Death of Deadpool, The Night of The Living Deadpool/Return of The Living Deadpool were also fairly serious and so is Deadpool Vs. Thanos, which are really good books not even for just Deadpool standards. Also, if you've read it what so you think of the Spider Man and Deadpool series?
i actually dislike Deadpool as a character. he tries way too hard to be funny and best he can do are some dumb sex jokes
I've met and hung out/got drunk with a nice Deadpool cosplayer back at youmacon 2011. but I agree dude, Marvel goes along with the pop culture trends too much and hurt their characters for it. this last year of Spider-Man comics (with the exception of the great Renew Your Vows story) is why I resent Marvel
Huh, stumbled upon this. Actually agree with most things. Never thought people who disliked deadpool existed especially after the movie
Deadpool can be written very well or very poorly. When the writers treat Deadpool as a character who makes jokes, it can be fun, funny and interesting and well-written. When the writer treats Deadpool as a joke, it comes off as obnoxious, unfunny and as you described. This is one of the reasons he often is better in stories where he co-stars or is a member of a team.
I agree. It's like how all these teens here in the western world like anime that is more dramatic than comedic and has more of a western-style.
Things like Attack on Titan are crappy to me, imo. I'd rather something that has a healthy mixture of drama and comedy (like romcoms, romantic comedies, literally a mixture of drama and fun).
These kids need to grow up and stop trying to act like an adult by rejecting any bit of fun/comedy from their anime. It's healthy to have both comedy and drama.
It's why chaika's successful, why toradora was liked by people, why gekkan shoujo nozaki-kun was well received by the pricks at /a/, if you're looking for a more recent example.
What kind of teenagers have you been talking to? We like AOT because it's good, not because it's dramatic, or because we want to be more adult. I have yet to see any teen who only watches dramas and animes without fun. That's a pretty big generalization your throwing out there, buddy. I'd say you watch your back for the trolls and angry 3 year olds lurking round here…
Triforce 007 Point out a better reason that I should stop talking, stop defending my argument, than _trolls are coming lol_. Trolls can be ignored.
That's not what I was trying to say, dude. I was just stating that is never seen any teen like that, and that the whole, 'teenagers only watch dramatic animes to be more mature' generalization, is a pretty dangerous (and inaccurate) one to have. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Maybe so. It's a generalization, but I'm a teen with anime-watching friends, and I'm literally the only one of my friends who know of these anime.
The reason a lot of teens curse excessively is because they want to A) reject society's taboos and B) look older (because kids dont curse and adults do).
Do you agree with Drake's point? If you do, you're countering your own argument. Just saying.
I'm a teen as well, and haven't heard of any of those, but NOT for the reasons that you think. I LOVE funny animes like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and stuff like it, but some times, I just want to settle down with something a bit more serious, like Sword Art Online. I just like to watch whatever my friends suggest, or whatever I happen to stumble upon that I'm genuinely interested in.
Regarding Drake's point, I can't agree or disagree. I like humor of all types, and just stick to whatever I'm feeling at the time.
And wit the cursing thing, I understand that there are teens and kids who curse just to look more mature, but, to me, they're so few and far between that I don't even notice them when they are. Most people I know who curse only do it for emphasis, or for lack of a better word.
But hey. We live in two different parts of the Earth, and I guess kids and teens over here are just a bit different. It's just a matter of perspective
Absolutely agree. I can't stand Deadpool. So fucking obnoxious.
I HATED Deadpool until I read the run of comics by Joe Kelly. It wasn't just a bunch of endless off the wall craziness and 4th wall breaks. Deadpool was a real character given a full arc. He was a bad person trying to find redemption. The most "meta" the series got was issue 11 where Deadpool travels back in time and winds up in an old issue of Amazing Spider-man from when Stan Lee was writing the book. The jokes were clever and it wasn't just "LOL, we're in a comic!!!! Comics are weird!"
If none of you have read the Joe Kelly run I highly recommend it.
I've been reading Joe Kelly's run recently and I wish I read it earlier. I skipped out on it because my main exposure to the merc with a mouth was memepool, and I just thought that's what all iterations of him were like. The story and humor here were great.
I've never heard anyone say that they preferred early Deadpool to new Deadpool. It generally seemed like people thought early deadpool was a generic boring character. I think Deadpool's best stories are where he's working around existing characters.
Unsubscribe, this is the worst thing EVER *dislike*
He has his opinions
:p

+Rye Raze Deadpool's a shit character.
Agreed. Don't get me wrong, I just wrote it because that's the exact same thing ComicDrake said in the video. Just a playfull jab :p
I never liked Deadpool.
I think he's like this because it's all writers have to go on. His back story is vague, and so are his powers. I think if his origin was definite and finalized, it would be easier to touch an emotional side of his character and he might develop a seriousness to him. All he is as of now is a personality. Not that he shouldn't be funny, he is the merc with a mouth after all.
Eh I kinda agree but as you said before I think. There isn't a bad character only bad writers. I enjoyed the deadpool movies and personally enjoy that depiction of him.
I subscribed to you good sir. For I too dislike deadpool.
Have anything on Warhammer 40 000?
+Comic Drake i LOVE gravity falls
+Geeky Gamer Chick I have a inappropriate picture of Gravity Falls
***** yah it has bad stuff but it is still a AMAZING SHOW
Geeky Gamer Chick True
After watching the video I understand what you mean regarding all the stuff about Deadpool, in fact, I can agree with most of that stuff on some levels, but honestly man...... "Why I HATE Deadpool"........ that was honestly just shameless click-baiting, and after watching the video I can clearly tell that you don't hate Deadpool, you just don't like most of his comics, and I understand that, I also didn't personally enjoy his Marvel NOW run, and sometimes the cosplayers can be real dicks, but Deadpool does have his moments, and I think that those little moments are just enough to keep me hoping that something better will come.
Bonuspoints for being honest.
He's basically an edgier version of Bubsy who (somehow) manages to have WORSE one liners than the infamous bobcat
I LOVE how honest you are. And honestly, Im a Deadpool fan and I don't think he is worth the hype.
I feel like his movie was made for the Deadpool FANS, and alot of people jumped on the "Deadpool Bandwagon" therefore overhyping him. Now I cant take part in any Marvel activity (such as Videogames and Merchandise ) without Deadpool being some top-notch, overpriced "LEGEND", which he isn't.
I feel it was better when Deadpool was some low-key badass that barely anyone liked. But now everyone absolutely loves him, acting like they were fans before the movie. (Liars). I hope its all over, and I can go back to loving the Deadpool I used to know.
I feel the same way
Deadpool and Harley Quinn work better in Film instead of comics
We had a marvel character that was known for being the wisecracking comedian and overly vocal mouthpiece of making fun of anything with a lot of tounge in cheek awareness of his own world.
His name was Spider-Man. Deadpool is trying or attempting to be the Spiderman of edgy anti heroes in order to be marvel's number one most popular character.
That's why I hate him.
Deadpool isn't funny, he's obnoxiously childish and annoying. He exists purely to appease fanboys with "badassery". He makes sex jokes all the time, breaks the fourth wall, and has ridiculously over-graphic violence just for the sake of being edgy. On top of that, he's shoved down my throat every day by fanboys and he's just a cheap Deathstroke knock-off. And the fact that he always becomes a cartoon character whenever he's on-screen makes me hate him even more. He's by far my least favourite Marvel character EVER.
chimichangas
Yes! I can't stand deadpool! Liked and subbed!
What's the point of this video? Just simply say that you dont enjoy it... that's it.
+Comic Drake yeh, but my point is why summit to them? you cant make everybody happy, your opinion is your opinion, and kinda agree with it,
+Comic Drake Still, why bother, Cause good writing for pool is lack luster and is quite often wasted on buillshit stories, that end being pointless.
***** That's not my point, i know he can share his opinion in any media he wants, but why should he try to clarify the "how"s and "why"s to people who doesnt share or try to find a common point of interest?
+Comic Drake so what I take from this is you want DeadPool to be more like Spider-Man funny but serious because if so I completely agree
+Felipe Araújo Parodi Just shut the fuck up.
Wanna know how to piss off a Deadpool fan? Call him Cesspool. Cesspool means an underground reservoir for liquid waste (Like Sewage).
Don't agree with you on Harley, but Deadpool is seriously broken when it comes to how people use him. He kills the whole Marvel universe? Kiss my ass that's BS. And the fact you see him absolutely everywhere doesn't help in the slightest.
One huge problem with Deadpool is his costume was created by Rob Liefeld the worst comic artist of all time.
I'm kind of tired of SOME people acting like he's a perfect character and everyone should like him.
Deadpool works best with a straight man. Be it Cable, Spider-Man or some stoic faced enemy. But yes. The whole multiverse of Deadpools made it clear how one note the character can be if mishandled
Spidey should never be anybodies straight man.
The set up is that in the real world people use hit or miss comedy to be more relatable, but become increasingly more annoying. The punch line is that Deadpool uses comedy for the purpose of being annoying, but the annoyance level is what's hit or miss and he becomes more relatable in certain areas. And why I find it funny is because I've been exposed to want-a-be comedians a few times too many and I know what zero personality REALLY looks like. Seeing someone intentionally annoy people is very intriguing to me.
There was an awesome Deadpool cosplayer at Toronto comic Con who stood really still, then put his hand out saying "High Five!" People jumped, including me.
I honestly went into this thinking I was going to get pissed off at a hater, but I can totally see your point on Deadpool's current run. I'm a HUGE fan of Daniel Way's run in Deadpool, but the current run with Posehn and Duggan is WAY over the top and really takes away from my favorite comic book character. And I'm sorry to hear that you've never run into a nice Deadpool cosplayer. I agree that being in character isn't an excuse for douchebaggery, but I personally haven't had any bad experiences. When I went to SDCC I met a really nice one who went around in a Slave Leia costume though.
Someone else might have said it in the comments, but I'm not going to dig through 2000+ things. Technically Harley would be a jugalette, not a juggalo, because she's female.
