Let's not make comparisons between BoP and Deadpool, the latter was a really popular character even before the movie, and his popularity was not based on trends.
If you think that MCU vs DCEU/DCmovies fanbase wars are bad, I suggest you don't even bother with the idiocy that you can come across in the the marvel comics vs dc comics fanbase wars.

LOL @ this lame journalist attempt to stir the pot. Nobody's infuriated except for maybe 3-4 twitter snowflakes that don't even watch the movies.
Agree, I went in without even seeing a trailer and was taken by surprise on how good it is.
I wonder if the story is inspired at all by Franzese's confessions.
His perspective is perfectly logical. Disney/stakeholders surely can't be happy with a movie underperforming and a brand diminishing.
From a non-stakeholder POV, yes, great achievemens, but from the POV of someone who's been promised great returns to their investment, it doesn't matter how many movies achieved the same or not.
But most of them didn't know about it. Then again, if it takes him like 10 years and that entire mumbo jumbo from HP4 to come back fully, it's worth gunning him down once every 10 years, just to make sure.
