luceanGreetings all,
Something quite interesting happened a few days ago in relation to Deadpool's success and I thought to post it here for those to see who haven't already.
Essentially, James Gunn did a long facebook post about Deadline Hollywood 's reiew of Deadpool, specifically about how the movie makes fun of superhero movies.

Now, I think there are a lot of really great points he makes in the post, such as that Hollywood trying to copy what Deadpool did is missing what makes Deadpool great. However, for me the beginning of the post was where he uses Ant-Man and Iron Man as examples of Marvel movies that poked fun at their selves which was for me an almost bizarre statement. Both of the movies he mentioned are as formulaic as you can get from a Marvel movie, one of them set the formula, so I genuinly had difficulties understanding his point there. Still, I realize that there are many who will disagree with me on that.

'These are two young men on the cusp of discovering who they are, both as heroes and as human beings. That fits right in with the work I‘ve been doing on [animated] series like “Spectacular Spider-Man” and “Young Justice,” even on “Gargoyles” and “Star Wars Rebels” and “W.I.T.C.H.” It’s just kinda my bread and butter.' -- Greg Weisman
