This is what a super hero movie should be. The hero is indestructible, there is plenty of comedy, we must go through a little pain with the hero, but it is usually his driving force and ultimately makes him mature into a better person. This is in contrast to the last Marvel Heroes movie which was shit, leaving you crying, for no good reason, the DC movie where they were all fighting each other, turning on Superman who has been our hero of heroes for over 50 years. Even if you want to throw in the Star Wars franchise and the slow raping they are doing to it, as Ben Shapiro said, they are slowly killing our childhood heroes in the interest of making a quick buck today, what will be left for us to care, nobody cares about Rey (who barely seems to want to be there) or even worse Lil Darth with the temper tantrums.
Deadpool starts off strong showing us a montage in which he goes after all sorts of mafias and bad guys. It looks like he is in Japan, China, Italy, and others before coming home to relax with his girl. He is having a great day, it is his anniversary and the GF has just given him baby fever, she has removed her IUD and given it to him as a sign that she is ready for him to put a baby in her. No sooner do they go through this than they are ambushed by a gang of killers, surely sent by one of the gangs he has attacked. In lame movie fashion, he kills all but the very slowest last one to show at the door who manages to shoot the perfect shot, I think he actually deflected it towards her, killing her instantly. He gets the guy, but feels destroyed and kills himself for the first of three times.
In come the X-Men generic characters from the first one, which of course Deadpool has to be sarcastic about saying he would even take the one with the wings, who was annoying. In a bit of really funny but useless footage, Deadpool is walking down the hall backwards complaining about this, Beast slowly closes the door while Professor X and the rest of them give us the shh sign over their mouths. Deadpool gets with his guy at the hit man bar and decide he needs his own X-Men, which he calls X-Forces, but after spending about ten minutes of the movie, all but one go on to die before they even land on the ground, due to brisk winds and them coming in on parachutes, it was pretty dark humor and what makes this franchise different from the others.
The only one to survive is Domino who claims her superpower is luck. Deadpool of course argues with her for a while but ultimately kind of agrees luck may be something of a power. She has the coolest scene in the movie as she is chasing the vehicle full of mutants and we see her luck push her along and help her in every way imaginable.
The real reason for the movie, its driving force, is to save a young Firefist from Cable, a super soldier that comes through time to try and save his family by killing the guy who kills them beforehand. Once all the mutants on the vehicle are freed and Firefist is besties with Juggernaut, Cable decides he needs Deadpool's help. They join forces, but only after Deadpool gets his word that he will be given a chance to save the boy without killing him. In the 2nd death scene, Deadpool again talks to his dead GF and she says something like children are our future and he pieces together that his destiny lies in saving the boy, up until then, he has only cared about himself, which is a big change for him.
In the end, Cable decides to hang around, I guess to see how the past is and make sure he can maybe help guide Deadpool in the right direction. This gives Deadpool a chance to grab his time sliding device and apparently, save his girlfriend, undo the first Deadpool in the X-Men movie which kind of confused me, as he was not funny once he had his powers, and even escaping the movie scene, he is in Ryan Reynold's home as he just got the Green Lantern notes and lines and puts a bullet in his head, which is confusing, considering, he is Deadpool.
