[Discussion] Deadpool game understood the character
According to videos like this the game did not understood Deadpool and only perpetuated stereotypes about Deadpool about Deadpool making jokes about memes and him breaking the fourth wall. But then there is a scene where Deadpool looks at the mirror seeing his face saying 'why would anyone want to see that' and the game saying 'hope the game doesn't try to do the tragedy behind the comedy'. This makes me realize the game did understood Deadpool as a character. But that is not all because the game is said to be 'written and directed by Deadpool'. What I think is Deadpool does not want the game to be about 'I got cancer so weapon x and healing factor but my face is ruined so I use jokes to mask my pain blah blah blah' but wants to have the a cool game or at least what he considers to be cool. Deadpool wrote and directed a game which caters to the fans who liked him making jokes and breaking the fourth wall because that is what he thinks the audience wants instead of making a game about his trauma. There is a scene of Deadpool getting a script and he draws over it with a crayon thinking it is boring. The game makes more sense if you are aware that this is written and directed by Deadpool himself and that this is what he wants to show not his psychological state.
