Iron Man 2 and Age of Ultron weren't as good as the previous installment. Sophmore slumps and all that, it happens. Will they repeat the same jokes? Will the script be lacking? Will the story be a jumbled mess? All of these and many more went across my mind. It's obviously not gonna be as fresh as the original, so that newness is gone. I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't a little nervous that this would be disappointing compared to the original movie. Having said that, the original Deadpool was like catching lightning in a bottle. And, for all you can say about 20th Century Fox, I gotta give them major props for allowing their superhero properties to explore different styles of telling a story than than what is normally accepted for superheroes.

Essentially the New Mutants is a superhero horror movie set in the X-Men universe. It's also making it possible for this New Mutants movie (also from 20th Century Fox) to become a thing. And its success made it possible for Logan to get more creative leeway in telling its story the way it wanted to and, for all intents and purposes, Logan is revered as one of the best movies in the genre. And people gravitated to that in a world where superheroes are always fighting against the end of the world, it was just fun to watch a smaller, self-contained story that, really, broke all the established rules for what that genre could be.
It really was one of the funniest movies I saw that year. And it's not just that the movie embraced its violence and profanity with pure glee, because that on its own would not be enough, it's the fact that it was a supremely well-written movie. So Deadpool came along at exactly the right place at exactly the right time. It's just that stylistically and tonally, those films are completely homogenized to fit within Disney's family-friendly image. That's not saying they were bad, in fact, just the opposite, a lot of them are very good and some of them even excellent. First of all, it was a gleefully violent and profane superhero movie that broke the fourth wall constantly in an era when, really, most MCU movies, really, just blended into one another. At the same time, having had a couple of years to reflect back on the success of the original movie, I can't believe that I was surprised at its success. Having said that, superhero movies weren't as prevalent then as they are now and the Blade Trinity had more limited potential.
Ironically, Ryan Reynolds also appeared in this movie. That's pretty impressive when you think about it, at the time, it was probably the first (major) R-rated superhero movie since the Blade trilogy finished off with Blade Trinity in late 2004. As it stands right now, the original Deadpool is the most commercially successful R-rated movie of all time at a gross of $783 million on a $58 million budget. I think a lot of people, myself included, were surprised by how massively successful the original Deadpool was.
