The scene they took out of Deadpool that actually makes the whole movie make sense

I’m going to explain why one scene that they chose to remove actually puts the whole movie in perspective and answers a lot of questions fans had about the final cut.

Obviously this is definitely going to spoil you and I can list about 100 different trigger warnings so unless you have seen the movie and are prepared to deal with the same themes, don’t read on.

Cancer World Tour

We see in what makes the final cut of the film that Vanessa is desperate to find a cure for Wade’s cancer and in the edited scene called “Cancer World Tour” she does just as he predicts, drags him around the world trying every cure.

As always Wade narrates the scene so he informs us that they have been all of the world and have already tried everything and now they were at rock bottom, in a very unlikely clinic in Guadalajara Mexico.

Wade has given up long ago but is keeping that to himself, spending the rest of his very short life indulging Vanessa in the fantasy that he can be cured.

He is in a waiting room bitterly observing the other hopeless patients indulging their own love ones, or perhaps even themselves, and he visibly has a hard time keeping his anger and sadness to himself.

Wade listens in as a mother tries to pay for her young son’s treatment and the nurse very coldly insists she won’t take any pesos, everything has to be in American cash. The little boy reaches for a sucker and the nurse says it will cost extra. Wade quickly puts his own cash on the desk, saying it’s on him.

Something is still bothering him. Wade watches the young boy sit as an older gentleman Wade himself was talking to earlier gets up to go in for his own appointment. Wade tells us in a voice over how he is at the end of his rope. He will indulge Vanessa, he will spend all the money that is needed to do so, but he can’t watch more of these innocent people being screwed over.

Wade sneaks into the operating room to observe that what is going on is that this miracle cure is not a miracle nor a cure. I don’t know exactly how much a layperson may understand this particular treatment by what they filmed so I’m going to explain in a bit more detail: this is an actual treatment that is offered for a great amount of money and the practitioner promises that they will remove your cancer without putting you under anesthesia or even cutting you open; they will somehow reach in and pull it out of you. The stomach is pressed upon by the practitioner and with sleight-of-hand they produced a bit of animal organ, presenting it as the removed cancer. There is a bit of blood but no incision, they claim to have healed that as well.

Wade waits secretly as the the older gentleman, relieved to have been cured, leaves the room and then he enters to confront the practitioner. Wade dryly remarks that the bucket of removed tumors smells like chicken, the practitioner reaches for a scalpel to defend himself, Wade has already taken it.

Wade loses it. He viciously beats and stabs the man. No fancy choreography, no clever banter. Wade gruesomely murders this man with his own two hands and blood is everywhere. The staff and waiting room rush in to see what is happened and Vanessa is among them.

Wade, in excruciating emotional pain, realizes what has happened. Vanessa is watching. This wasn’t a job and it wasn’t done efficiently. He isn’t being a mercenary, he’s being a murderer, is becoming what we will call Deadpool.

Fleeing, Wade runs away and leaves Vanessa to desperately scream in search for him to no avail. He is gone.

I don’t know why this scene wouldn’t of been included in the final cut. To me it solves a lot of issues that people have had with the characterization of both Wade and Vanessa.

Many reviewers asked why, despite the fact that Wade obviously was upset and beginning to show signs of mental illness, he couldn’t just go back to Vanessa and let her see his scars. She certainly didn’t come off as the type of character who would judge him for the way he looked but that wasn’t it. Wade is reluctant to show her what he looks like now, of course, but most of the reluctance comes from the fact that she has already seen a little bit of what he has become inside and that’s a completely different story. Vanessa fell in love with a different man, a man who killed people but wasn’t violent, wasn’t unhinged.

Maybe more importantly it gives the ending an entirely different tone. It’s not the happy ending it appears. Vanessa forgives Wade and despite his warning she is in Deadpool’s arms, not really understanding that Wade is gone. Deadpool very canonically gives into the bit of hope that it might be okay, someone might actually love him.

But what happens next? Vanessa is now going to meet Deadpool and realize that she has to again mourn the loss of Wade who she believes has come back from the dead. Will she love this new man? Should she? Is she safe to be with him?

Your feelings for Deadpool aside, try to imagine what Vanessa is walking into. Wade would never hurt her but Deadpool is not Wade and sometimes Deadpool is not even Deadpool. Sometimes this body is overtaken with pain and hallucinations. If Wade can viciously beat and stab a man to death when he disassociates, what does Deadpool do when he disassociates?

Deadpool doesn’t know.

Meowdy! I saw that you don't like Spider-Man/Deadpool (the comic obvs) and I was just wondering why? Just out of curiosity. I really liked most of it, though I'll easily admit the whole thing certainly has Flaws. Many of them. But like, what was it that got under your skin?

there’s a lot of reasons why the sm/dp series just didn’t work for me - i’ll write it in a fragmented, non-committal sort of way. like how they wrote the sm/dp series. 

first off the bat - ceo peter parker is not peter parker. i don’t think any attempt any writer made to tackle the concept of ceo multi-billionaire peter parker was good or thoughtful or in-character. it’s so, so far flung from who peter parker is, and what he’s representative of, and not a single writer was thoughtful enough to approach it in any sort of way that could preserve him. ceo peter parker was bad. bad concept. bad execution. and it feels like such a waste that of all the peter parkers we could’ve had in a sm/dp series, we had to have ceo peter parker in it. bad timing. 

two - i think the series does very poorly to establish wade and peter as characters before throwing us into the whole “role reversal” schtick. it kind of assumes you know these characters, and sure - that’s fine, we kind of do, but we don’t know these versions of these characters. i think marvel takes it for granted, a lot of the time. every book does have a slightly different version of a character. nicieza’s deadpool is not the same as duggan’s deadpool. they have completely different behaviours - they’re practically new characters. so each book had to set up those characters again - it’s vital to set up who these characters are, and how they’ll behave, without just - having us need to assume it. a big problem i have is with the sm/dp series attesting time and time again that peter parker is a good person without anything in the text proving it. he doesn’t do anything good or heroic before the role reversal. we’re told he’s good, but all i see is a jack-off. sure. he’s spider-man, we’re meant to assume he’s good, by reputation. but no. you have to show it, or i have no reason to root for him at all. and i don’t. 

three - so very personal and subjective but the series just isn’t funny. the jokes aren’t funny. i’d forgive so much if the jokes were funny. but they’re not funny. 

four - i just - the fragmented nature of the sm/dp series is so, so frustrating. it’s like nobody wanted to be there for too long. i feel like a good run should have just the one writer, and have cohesion. for it to feel like a solid run. the sm/dp series was so fragmented and so, so difficult to read. i’ve attempted to read it start-to-finish multiple times and it’s such a frustrating process every time. every time there are issues i’m begging to skip. it’s an almost impossible read for me. there’s no consistency - there’s very little in the way of satisfyingly wrapped-up storytelling, and i’m just confused throughout the entire thing. 

five - just all in all the disappointment that there is a spider-man and deadpool series that inexplicably features versions of the characters i just don’t care about. how? how is it possible that i, the biggest spider-man and deadpool geek in the world ever just... not find anything to enjoy about the sm/dp series? how do you mess up that bad. them standing next to each other should be enough to make me happy and yet. and yet. 

six - i think the “wade is healed and handsome because morally and mentally he is good” approach is ugly and i hate it. 

seven - peter parker says the word “pwnage”. i have never wanted to die more. 

eight - theres a weird artist that makes peter parker look like a blow-up doll. don’t like it. 

nine - i never wanted to see old senile spideypool either. they have to be hot and hunky at all times what is the point otherwise. 

10 - i haven’t even gotten to the “ending” which everyone is collectively mad about. i haven’t even been able to read it. i’ve tried, so many times but somehow, in some way, i haven’t managed. i don’t know how i’ve failed so many attempts to read it. i feel like the universe just doesn’t want me to. 

11 - one time while reading it i got so drunk i projectile vomited
