I know that there are a lot of people out there that don't like him, I also know that there is a lot of people (including me) who like him. What makes you like/unlike him, I like him because of his comedy and violence which goes along nicely. And one more note please respect other peoples opinions I don't want two people yelling at each other back and forth that is just annoying. So go ahead you guys have the floor or stage or whatever.

Why do/don't you like Deadpool?
Deadpool rocks. The humor/violence/craziness/4th wall breaking/pop-culture references/ninja weaponry/dual blades/FIREARMS!!/awesomeness is just..... awesome.
I think the reason a lot of people don't like him is because a lot of his fanboys are annoying [which to me, makes no sense at all], but hey, to each their own.
[Another reason people might not like him is because he's not a serious character, but that's what's great about him :D]
Deadpool is probably my all-time favorite character, which is saying a lot.
The run by Joe Kelly and Ed McGuinnes sealed the deal, as everything from plot, characters, dialogue, and of course the art was just superb and fantastic, a true breath of awesomeness in an otherwise pretty damn horrible era for comic books.
I can relate to that version of the character in that he was basically born and bred to be a horrible person, with all these terrible, tragic things happening to him, but Wade typically just laughs at his problems and, during that run at least, was honestly doing whatever he could to do the right thing. With DP's twisted mind, those good things often went south really fast, but the point was he was trying. Add to this the dynamic of Wade's crush on Siryn boiling-over, but then Typhoid Mary enters his life and screws it all up, royally. Without getting too personal, I can REALLY relate to that entire run on a very deep level. The character spoke to me, often times literally thanks to the 4th wall-breaking, and even if there weren't any Deadpool stories published ever again after that run, he'd still be at the top of my list.
People hate him for the same reasons people hate Wolverine and anything else popular: It's the cool thing to do when you're not one of the "cool people". In most cases, anyway. I'm sure there are those that genuinely hate the character for whatever reason, probably as has been said because he's not a "serious" character and I'm sure is an abomination to some purisits for being a Liefeld creation alone, but that's not the point of the character. The point of Deadpool is to show you how to have FUN with your comics, and to laugh at those that take something that began life as "Funny Books" too damn seriously.

i did'nt say i hate Deadpool i said i hate the Deadpool fan boys.
Deadpool is like taking, Wolverine + Freakaziod + Punisher + Ambush Bug + The Tick throwing them all into a blender and POOF! Deadpool !
Deadpool is like prunejuice, for the typical constipated superhero comic book.
The best part is, just when someone pigeonholes Deadpool's comic books as being only about bad jokes and stupid violence, and appealing to the lowest common denominator; he'll show us the depth of character that he really has, the clown laughing on the outside, and crying on the inside.
Deadpool is just simply a terrific read and a well thought out character...even if he started out as just a typical Liefeld B-list bad guy ripped off from Deathstroke.
He has evolved into something FAR more entertaining and interesting than what he originally started out as, due to the careful crafting of some of the best writers out there, such as Joe Kelly.
The surprising depth of character, the humor, the insanity, the violence, the terrific supporting cast all added together make Deadpool my favorite comic book character to read and to follow right now.

to be honest with u im not 2 sure myself but they just put me off
Deadpool is one of the greatest comic book characters of all time in my opinion. his funny, a master of guns, swords, kung fu and anything that is dangerous, got a cool costume, talks in yellow, has a split personally and knows his a comic book character.
deadpool fanboy feat: under the new power ranking system he has been voted #3
(personally I like him, I think he's OK, but that's all)

I do love Deadpool. After getting tired of the some old comics, Deadpool came along and punched me in the gut. In a good way. Whatever.
I love his backstory. I love his attitude. I love his humor. I try not to rant about him too much, and I do except his flaws, but the fact remains that Deadpool is my favorite superhero of all time.
I guess I can understand how that can happen.
Although I myself am sort of out of the loop and un-bothered by the fanboys, there are other hobbies I have where similar things can happen.
I know that, back when I was still in the loop so to speak, I was a HUGE early on fan of Wolverine, who got turned off by the constant hype surrounding him.
Though I never stopped liking the character, because I was able to seperate one from the other, I believe that if I hadn't satrted following the character FIRST, the fanboys would've likely, turned me off to him.
Though I am not a "fanboy" (I am too old and stuck in my ways to be one) as a reasonable Deadpool fan, I will appologize to you for having that happen...it sucks when people shove something down your throat to the point where you don't want any part of it.
I myself never knew there were people overhyping Deadpool, until I came to these forums...I just read and followed Deadpool because it was more fun to read than all the other stuffy titles.
Too much of the comic book world is stuck in a rut doing the same old things over and over, Deadpool is just...different in a VERY liberating, and good way.
If I could give a piece of advice, ignore the stupid hype and just pick up some back issues and see for yourself what everyone is geeking over, then be that desperately needed voice of REASON, be that person who enjoys the comics, but in a reasonable and balanced way.
It's the best way to silence the idiots out there.
People hating other people for loving the same things they do is friggin' MIND-BOGGLING, especially when THEY don't even know why they do it. I understand this is the IntardWebz and this is sorta the point of it all, but being an Elitist about a medium that is and forever will be considered one of the more "nerdy" things to be obsessed about just makes you an Elitist Nerd. Let's not go alienating EVERYONE around you, shall we?
But to each their own, I guess...
Deadpool's probably been my favourite character for about 12 years now. Even when I was younger and didn't really get the humour, I still just loved the mentally challenged merc.
So much to the extent I teamed up with my buddy to make these deadpool strips www.scarletvulture.deviantart.com
i like his books. they represent a break from the serious stuff for me, as do a few other books i read.
as for why people dont...well dont read the book. wild idea i know but it might help. lol.
I know, probably the freshest vid I found on the New Rob. Cable & Deadpool can have stories for years w/ and/or w/out eachother. Appreciate your time catman.
I like Deadpool, but I think he's overexposed.
I mean come on he was in an X-Men movie before Apocoylpse or Mr. Sinister. Heck he was in a movie before a real Sentinal (I don't count the Danger Room one. Which begs the question they were never even brought up so how were they fighting one in the Danger Room?)
I don't like Deadpool . But his "Merc with mouth " limited series are good ( just because of that hot doctor ) .
I don't like him generally because he's overrated and his fans exaggerate the reason why when it's obvious Deadpool piggybacked off of other characters to be put in the position he's in now.Also his book brings down the personality of all the characters that cameo.Nobody is ever written in character in a Deadpool book.Their mannerisms are exaggerated.Lastly,he's not very funny.The things he does are funnier than the things he says yet,he never STFU.

OK! Its deadpool who we are talking about here. The sexiest mofo around in the marvel universe from battleing the xmen to fighting off zombie T rexs. And from fighting off a whole alien race to fighting for a dead man's will. He is the meat. He shoots himself in the head just because he was bored and curious what would happen.

I like Deadpool because he's funny, a killer, and a decent guy at heart. Reminds me of Eddie Brock as Venom.
That and he's got a cool costume. Puts Spider-man's to shame, imo.
No I mean the last post was 5 months ago and out of the blue comes more....hmmm maybe I shouldn't poder this too much
