Pineapple Surprise

1 of 3: I just wanted to thank you for running this site and trying to inform people, including me, on a wide range of topics while still being an A+ Deadpool blog. Last night I was out with some co-workers and we started playing Would you Rather. Well one of the women asked 'would you rather go deaf or blind.' At the time I didn't think anything of the question. We all said our answers and the conversation moved along. Later that night when I was thinking about Deadpool and all the points you

The fact that you picked up on what we would refer to as a “micro-aggression” is fantastic and even though it didn’t dawn on you all at the time the fact that you contemplated it later says a lot about your character

This is slightly off-topic but it’s a story you might find interesting.

I think I was around 13 years old in a class and the teacher was trying to convey some sort of message about how sometimes choices can be hard because they don’t always give us perfect endings. Each person in the class was supposed to say whether they would rather lose their arms or their legs.

I loudly said I would be more than happy to lose my legs (I can’t walk, for those of you who don’t know) and the teacher told me that I was not allowed to make a choice, in this scenario I would be losing my arms even though I couldn’t use my legs.

I argued that it wasn’t fair especially since I do use my legs for balance and to adjust myself and it only made the teacher very angry.

I was then banned from having any involvement in the lesson

Why exactly is Deadpool well liked by the general population now in the comics? Other heroes don't seem to care for him (yet), besides Steve of course, but I'm not sure which comics all that happened in. And in what comic was he invited to the avengers?

I actually have not read that comic yet where he’s invited into the Avengers. I’m sorry for the lack of information there. I believe Duggan’s comics is when the sudden change of Deadpool going from one of the most distrusted, feared, and too-unstable-to-trust to being treated more humane. 

It isn’t that I’m not happy about that on a personal note; I just feel it’s a bit out of character for the other characters. 

Deadpool is one of the most skilled mercenaries in all of Marvel. He was once described as so ruthless and so powerful that the only way to stop him when he had a hit on you was to offer him more money. He has a long-winded history of betraying trust. He’s killed more people than Bullseye, and I want to say even the Punisher, combined. Wade comments people are not impressed by his skills, but they are afraid of his skills, and afraid of him. Fear is what makes people act hostile towards him. Honestly, who wouldn’t be? Because of Thanos’ curse, he’s near immortal, and he’s done so many horrible things before he started to want to prove himself to be more than what the Hospice and Weapon X created him to be. 

Mistrust on that level isn’t easily brought back. The people haven’t forgotten his history. While Deadpool is frustrated at the lack of chances and trust after trying to prove himself to be more than a killer, he has given every single reason to not trust him, and often unintentionally, continues to do so.

Spider-Man also points out in one comic that Deadpool wants to be a hero for the wrong reasons. He doesn’t want to be a hero to be the good guy - he wants to be a hero for the recognition of being a good guy. He wants the praise, the glory. 

Duggan’s comics shifted all of this a great deal. Some fans are unsure how they feel about this, while other fans are more ecstatic. 

I’m sure there is someone among my followers [calling on y’all!] that can pin-point the comic which Deadpool was invited to the Avengers! If not; I’ll do my best to find it for you.
