Yeah. I know he's a Marvel character, so happiness was never really an option. And he's Deadpool, so that always went double for him. But still... What the freaking hell, Marvel?!
It's always his own fault. Because it's written to be that way. Because it increases the pathos. And Marvel loves nothing as much as pathos.
They just never seem to be able to figure it out that always wallowing in the pit of despair won't get their audience to feel for their characters. It just numbs.
I kinda doubt it, given the way that scene ends. (Wade makes a major impression on Jack, but it seems unlikely Jack will think kindly of him afterward.)
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.

Plus you know, we are still talking about a guy that kills for a living.

I still doubt Jack will think kindly of him, but perhaps in their circle that amounts to a get-it-out-of-your-system punch.
