When do we talk about the moment in Deadpool 2 when Deadpool shoots the orderly after realizing what they were doing to Russell?
Because as Colossus is strangling him, asking why he killed someone, Wade’s immediate answer is, “They were abusing him. You can tell; you can always tell.”
But the thing is, no one else noticed. And it’s not like Russell’s scars were hidden before that moment. They’re very prominent from the moment he’s onscreen. When I saw the movie a second time I looked to make sure and yes, you can see them the entire time.
Deadpool could tell pretty quickly though. And the question becomes “How often has Wade seen it to be able to immediately pick up on it?”
Followed up by “Why has Wade seen it this often?”
It’s such a brief moment but it stuck with me the rest of the movie and well after it. It’s so informative of Deadpool’s character that I’m surprised I haven’t seen discussion about it anywhere.
