Smartass but not always smart — and with a comedic success rate perilously close to 50 percent — Deadpool represents the natural evolution of the Marvel brand toward cheeky self-parody, anticipating the backlash against the studio’s super-popular superhero films by making fun of their familiar formula. And yet, in its foul-mouthed, aggressively violent way, Deadpool proves to be nasty fun, casting a snotty Ryan Reynolds as a vengeance-seeking jerk who may have mutant powers but never acquired the stoicism or valour of the X-Men. Proudly positioning itself as the crude, hip alternative to Iron Man and Captain America, Deadpool is a spiky, uneven palate cleanser.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
