I'm a big fan of Marvel comics. I'm also a fan of Marvel's films, though maybe
not to the same extent. I silently curse whenever a comic book character is
changed in the films, whether it's his clothes, his powers or his personality.
I own a lot of Marvel films on Blu-ray. I'm too lazy to count at the moment,
but it must be about 40. Some are weak, like the Hulk films, while most are
excellent. I'm quite surprised with myself, in retrospect, that I've only
included five Marvel films in my top 100 film list. This is the first of the
five in my countdown so far; I'll keep you in suspense what the other four
are. Still, I think that more of the films should have been included, if only in the lower
part of my list. I'll fix this mistake eventually. At my current
speed I'll probably finish my countdown by September. I'll post a corrected
list as soon as possible after that. I shan't let you down. I hope.
Deadpool is a character who was introduced to Marvel comics in 1991, which I
consider to be the post-canon age. That means that the accuracy in his portrayal is
less important to me. Nevertheless, judging from the few comics I've read with
his adventures, the film seems to be an accurate portrayal of his character in
the comics.
Stan Lee does a cameo as a disc jockey in the strip club where Deadpool's
girlfriend Vanessa works. After Stan Lee died in 2018 I decided to rewatch all
of the Marvel films, emphasising Stan Lee's cameo appearances. I started with
the Spider-Man films, the Fantastic Four films and
"Daredevil", after which I worked my way through the MCU films up to his death. I
omitted the X-Men films initially, but I intended to come back to them later
in 2019. Then I forgot them. I'll come back to them later this year, as long
as I don't forget them again. "Deadpool" is considered to be an X-Men spin off
film, as shown by the guest appearances of Colossus and Negasonic Teenage
Warhead.
