This person's basically complaining about Deadpool breaking the 4th wall, not taking the Marvel franchises seriously, and having a cavalier attitude towards storytelling. Has he never heard of Deadpool before? That's, like, the core of his personality. This movie was the most Deadpool that a Deadpool movie could be. I mean, I get it if you don't much care for Deadpool, but if that's the case, why go to see a Deadpool movie in the first place? This entire article just makes it sound like this guy loves the smell of his own farts.
