Basically he's Ambush Bug, only they some times try to tell serious stories with Deadpool. The fact that you do not know who Ambush Bug is should tell you the future of Deadpool...if he didn't get a very popular movie.

SyntheticPolygon posted:He was very popular before the movie as well. So was Ambush Bug. The caveat for both is that they were very popular with nerds and comic book readers. In the mainstream? Who the gently caress cares Deadpool getting a movie means he's going to stick around forever. See how Wolverine changed after the X-Men movies. Before, reasonably popular comic book hero, was used here and there, but not like, one of the biggest heroes in the world. After? Woof

Spider-Man / Deadpool was actually really good and was about how much Deadpool envies heroes like Spider-Man who make being a pure hearted good guy look so easy. A lot of Deadpool's best stuff, imo, explores the genuine thoughts and beliefs Wade holds underneath all that crazy nonsense. But anywho; I don't think there was any way I was going to like this video. I just want the damned episodes out, the moment for this stuff has passed. Yeah, I'm just being a grump about it.

Deadpool was fairly popular among the crowd of comic fans that don't actually read comics but reblog their favorite pages they've seen out of context on social media. Nobody knows who the hell Ambush Bug is because he's had like a dozen random appearances in the last 20 years, while Deadpool had a couple dozen series starring him even before the movie.

This is because Deadpool got big as the internet started to really take shape and take off. Ambush Bug got started back in the early 80s, where he had a few mini series of his own not unlike Deadpool's early days before Internet Memery carried him further.

Shinjobi posted:A lot of Deadpool's best stuff, imo, explores the genuine thoughts and beliefs Wade holds underneath all that crazy nonsense. Like how Deadpool was originally keeping Blind Al as a servant and prisoner. He would play pranks on her and he would put her in a room full of nails and broken glass if she disobeyed him. He wouldn't even lock the door, she was just so afraid of him she wouldn't try to leave until he let her out. Then just go back to lolrandumb after like nothing happened!

Ryaomon posted:What loving paradise reality did you live in where Deadpool wasn't a thing in the mid-2000's The one where I apparently existed outside of just geek circles. Ask some random person on the street who Deadpool is, unless they're a nerd or a geek, they won't know what the hell you're talking about. Yeah, he was a thing in Our Circles, but we are not the main stream. We do not ensure characters live forever. The internet helped Deadpool thrive in comics due to memery, which I covered above. It's a big reason why he lasted longer than Ambush Bug, though he took way longer to actually take off. The simple fact that what happened to him in Origins DID happen shows what a nothing of a character he was to the public at large. If they had done that to Batman, or Spider-Man or some other hero people in general gave a poo poo about, there would have been a huge outcry instead of the usual nerd rage. You need to think outside of our general circle of influence, which is only recently expanding into the mainstream, and even still, mostly guarded and shepherd by the movies themselves.

Is Deadpool always this obnoxious? I don't keep up with the character at all, only know about him from the movie. Sometimes the jokes they come up using him are solid, but then there are those other times where it falls horribly flat and makes me wonder if he's just a gaggle of catch phrases in red and black spandex.

Like most comic characters, it all comes down to whoever is writing him. A good writer can tell good, funny, and even sometimes heartwarming stories with him. Bad/lazy writers will often have him end up being the most obnoxious character in the story.

Mordaedil posted:He merged with Madcap after Thor struck them both with lightning so hard that they turned to ash. They eventually separate though. Madcap was represented using white boxes in his inner dialog. Wait, so is that a retcon for why he's been a 4th wall breaking, monkeycheese character for 20 years, or does it only account for his personality recently? Anyway, Deadpool can be good, mostly he's bad because he's so drat overexposed the joke well has run dry, and his movie was pretty great.

I'm pretty sure if you tried making Deadpool not insufferably bad you'd just wind up with either Spider-Man or Kamala Khan depending on the direction you took it in. E: Or Lobo. Part of the problem with Deadpool is that he's the sort of character, like Lobo, that we should be laughing at, not with.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is probably the most definitive serious take on the character and is incredibly good and genuinely touching. It shows you can do some actually great stuff with the character and make him stand out without needing to rely on the monkey cheese random.

The Deadpool movie I think is a fantastic take on the character, where I was worried that when I first heard the movie announced they would heavily rely on the LOLRANDOM and annoying humor (which the Deadpool game did a few years back and was not great).

Blockhouse posted:two pages of anime fans who don't know anything about comic books talking about comic books is roughly as bad as two pages of comic book fans who don't know anything about anime talking about anime  get out reeeee, etc. Manga usually benefits from having a single unified vision for the character from a sole/lead creator. Basically all Marvel characters are written by informal committee of "whoever is writing the book this year". That's why Captain America is a Nazi right now, because Nick Spencer specifically is a rat bastard who asks the hard hitting questions like, "What if the nazis actually won the war and all of our pitiful SJW history was a fabrication? Anyway, here's a fascist being worthy of the power of Thor"

I mean that's not exactly true either. The "single unified vision" is filtered through an editor and that can be highly variable on how hands off or hands on they are from person to person for instance toriyama had very strict editors up until the buu saga while kubo tite never had an editor that told him no to the point he has an obvious analogue with the same editorproof status in bakuman

any time you see a gag manga turn into a fighting manga (hitman reborn, medaka box) that's an editorial recommendation, the kind you can say no to but for the sake of your career you probably shouldn't basically there is no pure unfiltered vision in any published comics regardless of language or country of origin

Blockhouse posted:basically there is no pure unfiltered vision in any published comics regardless of language or country of origin It's less about filters and more about consistency. American comics will have creators come on with drastically different visions from the people who proceeded them but left. There may not be any continuity of editorial/writing/art at all between two given runs. It doesn't mean that continuity is a "purer" or an "unfiltered vision" - Dragon Ball isn't exactly noted for either - just that keeping people on a work for its entire life makes it more consistent.

I was kinda neutral on Frieza getting on the roster but that was some great rear end hype. Also this better be the best arena ever assembled for how often they show it getting glued together one piece at a time.
