Deadpool in the movies is not deadpool in the comics. Movie deadpool is extra corny and cringy. You have Ryan Reynolds playing himself imo.

Yes.
During Joe Kelly's run.
But if it wasnt for that he wouldnt have a wildly sucessful movie franchise, a cult turned mainstream following, this thread woudnt exist, and Wade would have faded away like many of his extreme nameless 90s peers who all had the not so secret power of attitude.
Kelly had the freedom of fukking around or how he puts it:
The writer Joe Kelly noted, "With Deadpool, we could do anything we wanted because everybody just expected the book to be canceled every five seconds, so nobody was paying attention. And we could get away with it."
You can hate Reynolds if you want but Kelly wrote the prophetic line about Deadpool looking like a cross between Ryan Reynolds and a shar pei in issue one.

Comics are light years better
In a word? Yes.
Are there some more serious, darker takes on him? Absolutely, he's got a fairly fukked up and tragic life. But the majority is just as outrageous as what you see in the films and in some instances, way more so.

He's arguably worse. Spiderman too. They never stfu but the fans love it. Only difference is deadpool often gets shot or "killed" for his yappin...sometimes by other heroes

Yes. That's what made him popular to begin with. He started as just a straight up Deathstroke ripoff then they found something unique to do with him.
Part of the beauty of the Kelly run is he balanced the crazy with purpose. Wade is a character who is insane and always talking/joking, but he keeps trying and failing to reform and do well and each failure spurs on the self-doubt and trauma that fuels the jokes and banter masking the pain and loss.
Plus he got to go back to classic comics and have someone finally address the Osborne's hair:

That's true.
The major source of conflict is Wade struggling to be a "hero" with mixed results.
That and clinical insanity.
I think thats captured in the movie with Wade's monologue in the beginning and his of again/off again relationship with the X-Men.

hes actually clinically insane and its why he breaks the 4th wall alot. I think artists were making it seem as if hes literally talking to himself or the yellow boxes used in comics for dialogue
Wade Wilson
The Weapon X program did more than just cure Deadpool’s horrific cancer. It granted him a healing factor that enables him to regenerate destroyed tissue and organs at a superhuman rate. Whether it’s a paper cut or a decapitation, Deadpool can recover from it so long as his head remains intact...
Spiderman doesnt shut up cause hes legit 16 with powers and immature. Its kinda why he gets exicted to be around folks like tony stark and shyt.

Goofy? Lots of times. Corny? No. Before they Ryan Reynolds'd him, he was written with actual depth. The weirdness always had a purpose, whatever the crazy behind it. From pranking back and forth with Blind Al to mooning over Siryn.
MCU Wade is pretty much Star Lord with more popular culture references.
