Earlier this year I got to participate in a group interview withDeadpoolscreenwritersRhett ReeseandPaul Wernickwhen the movie was filming in Vancouver. As a longtime fan of the character, getting to stand on set and watch the character come to life was one of those experiences I’ll never forget. But more than just seeing the action up close, the best part was learning how close to the comics they were keeping him.

Furthermore, simply trying to label films as “good” usually leads to movies deemed “inoffensive” and “safe” because they’re uncontroversial....
