Deadpool (film)/YMMV


  • Complete Monster: Ajax proves to be a surprisingly serious villain for the darkly comedic film. The leader of an operation that purports to create superheroes, Ajax uses his recruiter to lure in people with nothing to lose before he implants the potential for mutant genetics into them. However, to awaken the mutant gene, Ajax subjects them to hideous, around-the-clock torture to produce the necessary stress to awaken it. Wade Wilson himself is eventually placed in a chamber that alters air levels to always make him feel that he is asphyxiating. After this awakens Wade's mutant gene, Ajax comments he could fix Wade's ruined looks, but mocks that would be no fun and shuts him back in the device anyways. When Wade escapes, Ajax impales him and leaves him to burn alive in the ruins of the lab, along with any other prisoners remaining. The superhero operation is also revealed to be a front: the victims are fitted with collars to turn them into slaves and sold to the highest bidder for the remainder of their lives. When Wade, now Deadpool, is hunting him, Ajax tries to lure him out by kidnapping his former girlfriend Vanessa and then locking her in the asphyxiation device right in front of Wade.
  • Fan Dumb: A portion of supposed Deadpool fans online only knew him from a small handful of pages that were posted on social media sites. These pages were cherry-picked as the most touching, the most heroic, or the most inoffensively hilarious (the better to score upvotes and reblogs with). Needless to say, when the trailers (and the movie) hit with Deadpool in all his irreverent, psychotic, blatantly offensive glory, these "fans" lost it and started screaming "That's not Deadpool! That guy's a jerk!"
