In which Betsy leaves her mouth open

[wonderwomanhero]

So while viewing this preview for X-Force #7, it reminded me of a video I recently saw. But I'll get to that at the end, first, the scans.



Betsy close your darn mouth girl, lol.
For some reason, Betsy and Warren remind me of the couple in this video (clean except for language)

That's because being the underdog is integral to Deadpool's character. If he wasn't so regularly disliked by everyone else, there wouldn't be such a woobie effect for the fans :p

Besides, part of that is that he's not extremely sane, and is pretty irritating as a person to the people around him. That makes him awesome and hillarious as a character, but spending time near him probably makes people want to strangle him very quickly. That doesn't help appreciating whatever good deed a person may have done (most of those Wade's done aren't widely known about anyway).

It's funny, but Deadpool is one of the few eternal underdogs I'm happy to have remain there. At some point, Spiderman really ought to grow. He's been in the Avengers, he's saved the world, he's a member of the Future Foundation, he's not a put-upon kid anymore, Marvel needs to stop selling him that way.

But Deadpool! Not only is he crazy and historically murderous, but as one the finest killers on the planet, the truth is, it's the only reason people pay attention to him. He can't give it up, or all his top-tier frenemies would have no reason to talk to him anymore. So he's stuck. His skills and guns are what keep him in the game, and what keep everyone from trusting him at the same time. That's why for me, the LL&L Messiah storyline remains the quintessential Deadpool story. Where they ask him to save the world, and he's inspired to be the near-invincible warrior that he is in the service of Right, until he find out in the end, it's just another hit, dressed up in pretty language.

They'll never trust him because he's a killer, but sometimes that's what they need. I think that's why people who can recognize that moral ambiguity, like Taskmaster, Outlaw, Constrictor, Blind Al, and Monty are such great side-characters for him.
