26 days agoWayne and Stark are kinda both “what if billionaires decided to be good people” which seems to appeal to the American dream even if not the American reality
Though admittedly, they’re both likely less impactful as vigilantes spending millions on personal weapons tech than they would be if they like… solved world hunger or something.
…And even in a fictional universe with super powers we still can’t imagine billionaires even trying to be good without suffering through severe trauma first.
Deadpool is like almost not a comic book movie though
I mean in a literal sense it obviously is - but his whole schtick with breaking the 4th wall and such is more like a meta comic book movie, and in many ways meta commentary gets better the more tired and worn out it’s target mainstream genre becomes.
There’s probably a point where it is so worn even a Deadpool movie is more beating a dead horse than comedic catharsis but most of us don’t seem to be there yet
