>>103337110Deadpool's gotten off pretty well, all things considered. Outside of the Way taking over during the explosion of his popularity, I think all of his major runs have been more or less on par character-wise, if not necessarily character writing-wise. I guess part of it is a change the way comics are written nowadays, but all of them once Deadpool was properly established had a mix of his weird comedy and personal tragedy. They're jut not terribly in line with each other as an actual continuity. It's kind of like Wonder Woman, where each major writer ends up making radically different casts and arcs, except Deadpool hasn't suffered the downsides of this nearly as much.
That said, his perception in the wider mainstream understanding of the character is still how it was when Bad Way was running the show, but that's true for a lot of characters.
