The gist is that this kid really wants to be able to see the movie. It seems to have warmed some people’s hearts. What got this whole PG-13 petition started was apparently a letter by an 8-year old boy written to his parents pleading with them to let him see the film. The comics can get very gory (though they aren’t always) but most would agree his character, action, and humor are more R-rated type material than PG-13. He’s been doing that and crossing over with other Marvel comics titles ever since.

He then gets to work as an assassin for hire and… that’s about it. It works but also messes with the cancer cells to deform his skin and snap his mind (to the point he feels the mask is his real face). In desperation he agrees to take part in an experiment to give him the healing factor of Wolverine. For those who don’t know, Deadpool is a man (Wade Wilson) dying from cancer. While it may seem like a reasonable request at first glance, most fans have come down hard on this idea.

The new “Deadpool” film looks to be shaping up as one of the more accurate comic-to-screen adaptations in a long time. However, maybe the marketing campaign worked a little too well as there is now a petition to have a PG-13 cut of the film released along with the R-rated version. For years it seemed like a pipe-dream much less as a R-rated film. Fox’s “Deadpool” is probably one of the most anticipated comic book films in a long time and that’s saying a lot.Īfter his… unfortunate introduction to audiences in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” the trailers have really had to work overtime to get us on board with the idea of a Deadpool movie.
