Deadpool: "My dad was a real kidder."

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

I picked-up the Deadpool: Origins one-shot today and it was surprisingly good.

We all know DP as the merc-with-a-mouth and a jokester but Wade isn't always about the laughs......4 scans.



Deadpool is making a movie about his life and is interviewing writers. Which involves shooting them in the knee-cap when the screw-up.

He finally meets one he likes and starts talking his life. Weapon X, Cancer, being a merc, being BFF with Cable, healing factors. Then the writer asks him about his childhood.

Deadpool: "My dad was a real kidder."



But poppa was a rolling stone. Wade's mom turns to drinks and laughter to dull the pain and Wade takes off. He later joins the army and sets down the Deadpool path. He tells the writer:

"See, I think mom had it right all along."



The writer gets up to leave and asks Wade if he could ask his dad one question, what would it be?



Being a hollywood writer, the guy screws Wade and turns his life story into a 3-D explosion filled suckfest. Wade reacts badly and thinks about an address he dug up years ago....





Oh man, I wanted to give him a hug.

Meh I liked the Cable and Deadpool origins tale better

I miss those two together.

Which is to say I really really liked the Cable and Deadpool version, and I don't know why they'd want to rewrite it. :/

I'm totally cool with them running with the whole "Deadpool has a million and one origins and no one can know for sure which one is the real one" idea, though.

See, I think I'd agree if they were doing it for the lols. Here, it kinda feels like they're rewriting it because the previous version didn't have enough angst.

This one isn't bad, per se. But there was no need to retcon the perfectly good C&DP origin.
