that i totally dig this character! for me, he has aspects of other comic book and graphic novel characters i enjoy such as: HarleyQuinn, the Comedian, Dr. Manhattan, Batman, Wolverine, Magneto and Iron Man. now i must start off by saying that i’m not a comic book reader- to the extent i do not know most of the background within the Marvel, DC and other universes but i can say that i do enjoy and appreciate their value w/in pop culture and dare i say it, literary history.
… but i digress… so i’m on various websites that offer insight and other such info about Deadpool, and i have to say that this guy totally deserves his own damn movie! why isn’t this in the works? seriously! i mean the guy has had a quasi-love affair w/Lady Death! i mean i can get behind that, given that most of my poetry and dark thoughts often revolve around the mystery that is Death and the sort of odd beauty it posses. (no, i’m not suicidal– i’m way too fond of myself for that form of demise)
i’ve also learned that he apparently knows and expresses his awareness of being in a comic to readers! i love it. he’s such a smart ass- this means i instantly adore him given my penchant for smart asses w/in different media forms and my taste in guys in my personal life (more on that subject later, lol). So yeah, i’m totally diggin’ this guy and need to read more- i suppose i can read more comics- those w/him and my other faves noted above- which i am working on slowly. any ideas of where to start, please share… but reading about Deadpool has lead me to think: how awesome would it be if i could get someone to be Deadpool for Halloween! that would rock! now i must digress for a moment b/c i’ve been tossing around ideas such me being: a pirate (which IS happening), HarleyQuinn (Also Happening, given i found outfit & % off), American McGee’s Alice, the Mad Hatter, Medusa, a sexy kitty (may be on hold given new costume idea relating to Deadpool), and a snowman- yeah odd right given my other considerations?! lol.
anyhoo, as i was saying, if i could find a soul to take on Deadpool, I could go as Lady Death (first choice) or as Copycat (reading up on her after i get done w/Deadpool stuff)… now if i could only find someone to be Deadpool, lol. that aside i always find it interesting what characters- fiction and non, people tend to gravitate toward.
for me, i like the quirkiness, etc. of the Deadpool character: he’s healing properties, given that i often get sick i wish i had some of those- people that know me closely know that one fully well; sarcastic wit and sick sense of humor are both pluses; obsessions words and such; uttering goofy phrases; fear of being “utterly and truly alone”; Deadpool answers a letters column in some issues- nice… i’m sure there are others but i have to read the comics to get an idea.
so yes, i’ve found another fictional character to hoist to the ranks of awesome in my book.
