Deadpool Is Back…And Ready To Kill To Some Skrulls!
I like Deadpool. I don't love him. Yes he's a wacky guy. Sometimes he can get annoying. I know he's supposed to be. That's part of his character. I think my main problem with him, and I know there will be some that will want to attack me over this, he's often written as being able to do more than he should. I know he's a bad-ass and all but should he be able to go toe-to-toe with someone like Wolverine (as recently seen in Wolverine: Origins)? It did seem at the end that perhaps Wolverine was playing Deadpool and allowed him to get away with some of the stuff he did. Deadpool has skills, yes but I don't see him as some unstoppable killing force of nature.
I'm going to let all that go when I start reading this series. I think what Deadpool is really about is having fun while reading about him. He's not a serious character so why should he be portrayed as such. He's the guy that can break the fourth wall. Now he's going up against the Skrulls. You know there's going to be some zanniness going on there.
An interesting note from Comic-Con, I reported this from the Secret Invasion panel:
When asked to elaborate on Deadpool's Secret Invasion activities, Way looked at Joe and panel, paused, and said, "...He's doing...something for...someone." He'll soon be getting the attention of everyone and will be "running ramant throughout the Marvel Universe."
So while Deadpool may start out killing Skrulls, I wonder if maybe they'll offer to pay him to work for them...
