Been a good, productive day. Went and saw Captain America: Civil War, then came home and watched Guardians of the Galaxy, Deadpool, and Ant-Man. Good day.

On the other hand though, one of the biggest appeals of the character is his complete ignoring of the Fourth Wall even as literally every other character obeys it, and the movie retained that beautifully. If you think about it, to everyone ELSE in-universe he must still seem really nuts! And anybody not aware of the Fourth Wall's existence would assume he were schizophrenic for that reason even WITHOUT the actual "voices" otherwise being there.

Also bit of Fridge Brilliance (if you know the term): aren't the voices depicted as The Little Yellow Boxes? Which...can only exist in the comic book format? Or am I wrong and they've done both? (I've read SOME Deadpool comics, but not a lot) I know he argues with his own narration/thought boxes though. Which you wouldn't be able to do if they weren't there.

It's also possible they're "easing" us into his insanity. But it's always worth noting too that the Deadpool/X-Men movieverse is literally its own universe as far as Marvel's multiverse is considered (they've actually stated this outright before, that the Marvel-made movies are one continuity, separate from the 616 universe of the comics, and that Fox's movies are also their own continuity, separate from both of those). He is, literally, not the same version of the same guy from the comics (616 or other universes), but an alternate-universe counterpart. IIRC, "Lady Deadpool" was also "sane" compared to 616 Deadpool, so there's actually precedent for versions of Wade being "less" crazy than the original from the comics.

I'm glad he was at least a LITTLE crazy though ;) Or he wouldn't feel like Deadpool.
