I always thought the thing with Deadpool was that he was crazy and narcissistic enough to believe that he's a comic book charcter and because he actually is that makes him capable of his superhuman 4th wall breaking abilities.

He is "crazy" and "narcissistic" because he is aware of the nature of his reality.

He knows he is the main character, because he is. He is very self deprecating and his narcissistic guise is more of an act than how he actually feels about himself. He is constantly calling himself stupid, being critical of his performance, and feeling like people don't like him(they don't like him because he is an annoying crazy person).

He seems crazy because he talks to the audience, he references shit that doesn't make sense. If you knew someone who would "turn to the camera" and talk about something the actor that plays you did 20 years ago, you would think he was crazy too. He knows he is a comic book character and can't die, he is the main character at that, so he has no fucks left to give. He isn't insane, he is just mentally unwell from having the knowledge of reality that he does. Professor X had a brain hemorrhage and died after diving into Deadpool's mind because he was incapable of handling what Deadpool knew and understood. That is one rub I had with DPvW, Nova should have had her grey matter start coming out of her nose when she started finger fucking Deadpool's mind.

He doesn't break the 4th wall because he is insane, he is insane because he can break the 4th wall.

His brain is constantly being ravaged by his cancer and healed which also leads to him being the way he is.

He even suggested he had a baby-sized penis, and showed it on screen. I can't believe that got past the censors.

I mean, didn't someone get convicted for AI generated child porn earlier this year? I guess if you have a Hollywood budget and lawyers, its OK???

He was an adult with a regenerating penis that hadn't gotten full-size. You know some censor saw something of themself in Deadpool for that scene.

I guess it is like that 1000 year old vampire teen exemption?
