 In Deadpool (2016), Ryan Reynolds plays a character called Wade Wilson, also known as the superhero Deadpool. The film follows the life of Deadpool and the many adversities he faces, such as finding out he has cancer, having to leave his girlfriend, and going through an extremely painful treatment. It also shows the entertaining parts of his life where he is a hit man, and his many drunken experiences. This superhero challenges the traditional hero narrative because although he helps many people throughout the film, he does not conform to the ideal of a hero.

I think that the reason why Deadpool is so loved as a hero is because he is not actually a hero. He plays a role of an antihero, a regular man that anyone can identify with. He has no heroic traits, he just has regular morals like every man on the street, and is not lead by some kind of a heroes code like all the other cliche heroes. Deadpool is so loved because he is so natural, raw and without a single hair on his tongue. To all of this you add his unusual but yet hilarious sense of humor, and you get a funny, regular person (that is immortal). He  struggles with problems as any normal person, he shows emotion, compassion, and even tough he sometimes makes questionable moral decisions that just makes him more human and shows how even is he is "super" he is still human.
