In 2016 Ryan Reynolds embodied and brilliantly portrayed a very unlikely yet likable character named Deadpool. A sequel has recently released and after seeing both films, I’m impressed with the work. When the first film came out I watched it so many times I lost count. It really was that good. Deadpool is an unlikely definition of what some may consider a hero. The films are violent, raunchy, comical, and surprisingly have some thought-provoking takeaways. In the first film, shortly before becoming Deadpool, Reynolds character explains that “Life is an endless series of train wrecks with only brief, commercial-like breaks of happiness…” It was an insightful line. As much as most of us aim towards happiness, life can have moments that feel like an endless series of train wrecks with just “brief” breaks of happiness, which is why it’s important to really enjoy those happy moments. In Deadpool 2, Reynolds character is faced with another tragedy and repeatedly tested to consider some introspection about different choices he makes while taking on a new set of challenges. Is Deadpool a hero or nah? That depends on what some consider a hero to be. One thing for sure is that he’s an unforgettable character.

When we had plans to meet for an outing, he didn’t show up, and then texted me about a week later with an apology. We chilled at my place a few times, had a few phone conversations, and exchanged occasional texts, but eventually he stopped responding to me
