I feel like corporate interests realized that Fox was actually serious about Deadpool, and Marvel double-timed making the character known. And that the comics saturation over the past few years are one of those crappy cynical marketing strategies that might backfire.
Like Minions.

I might believe that if it weren’t for the fact that for the last several years, Marvel has had a contentious relationship with FOX. Marvel Studios really, really wants FF and X-Men back, but of course FOX won’t release them. As a result, outside of the comics, Marvel has been preventing a lot of merchandising for the FF and the X-Men (here and here provide background on the feud as well as examples of how Marvel is cutting into merchandising profits for FOX). What this has meant for the comics is that Marvel likely isn’t going to promote any characters that they don’t have control over. I think the popularity of Deadpool came first, and *then* FOX decided to ride that wave with the upcoming movie. Overall, I think its been an unfortunate happenstance for Marvel.

Hmmm, I wonder how much my old Deadpool mini series from the 90s will go for on Ebay…

I enjoyed Deadpool back when Joe Kelly wrote the book, and then later when Gail Simone took over (even through the Agent X stuff). Then I lost interest. And then somewhere around 2010/2011, Deadpool took off in popularity. Now he seems like Wolverine, Ghost Rider, Punisher, and Cable were in the 90s-overused and everywhere. Shoehorned into places they plain don’t fit. I’ve seen Deadpool appear in far too many books that I like and he doesn’t always fit in (Doomwar?) and far too many miniseries (Deadpool vs Thanos?) and soon, in a book I really want to like (Uncanny Avengers), but really am having a hard time mustering up the interest. I think in small doses he’s enjoyable. In his own book, he’s fine. As part of X-Force, he’s fine. In fact, he fits there. But now he’s spread all over the place and I just have lost so much appreciation for the character. So much so that I haven’t watched the trailer, despite the recommendations. I suppose I will one day soon, but for now…nope.

Sadly, this will not be a movie I will be able to share with my burgeoning geek girl daughter.

I love fourth wall breaking and all the Deadpool trailers thus far have had plenty of it.

She has since shown up as a projection of Emma Frost’s mind (who was her teacher of telepathy class the day she died), and once as a zombie.

Not sure why they brought her back for this, but it elicited not one iota of surprise when I learned that they did. I’m not sure why. Her character is a peculiar choice for any creative work beyond her initial two-panel appearance.

This is her first appearance. In the next panel everyone in that room except Emma Frost was obliterated.

She is a character from Grant Morrison’s run who has Telepathic and Precog abilities.

Also, Deadpool calls Colossus a, and I am paraphrasing, ‘shiny metal cock gobbler’ so it will definitely be problematic.

I had to catch up on Ultimate X-Men via the wiki, I haven’t read it all (honestly, only til Rogue and Gambit and Juggernaut), and if I saw any references to Colossus and the mob, I have since forgotten them.

Ultimate Colossus had connections with the Russian Mob, which might explain the scene.
