How well it could get executed I think it really depends on the writer. As long as Reynolds don’t go all “Hannibal King-think-I-am-funny-bad” on his Deadpool interpretation just because the comic seems to have a more extreme “finesse” it might just work.

My point is the intepretation of Deadpool’s story still needs to bridge to the semi-reality that is the X-men universe where we first saw the dude.

There, rants over.

Talking to the screen will break any realism that the movie could have. Yes, I’ll admit perhaps there’s a way they can ‘do it right’ that my mere mortal intellect can’t fathom just now but for the moment I can’t see how talking to the camera can make Deadpool a good movie – to me all it will do is break my immersion in the realism of the film.

It works in the comic but each pane of a comic is a window looking in to a select scene, so the scenes are already broken by nature of separated panels that force you to move from one to the next unlike a film that does the moving for you. Plus, in a comic you have to read the thoughts and speech of the character so it’s always your own inner voice that is reciting the text so it kind of flows as you read because your inner dialogue never changes. Not so when it is someone else doing the talking.

Some Deadpool fans will argue for this (and already are on Twitter to me), but imho it could ruin the film – and yes, I’m a Deadpool fan and in fact was reading Deadpool before half the people arguing with me were even born lol. That latter part isn’t a brag, it’s actually sad hahahaha. So have pity…
