Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

???? jack sparrow would still be a pirate. i don't get how that makes deadpool not a superhero. yeah, technically a mercenary, but splitting comic book hairs is petty

i wouldn't compare him to Jack Sparrow, considering Pirates of the Caribbean came out long after Deadpool was created. he's basically a ripoff of Deathstroke from Teen Titans (even his name is directly ripping off Deathstroke's)

however while Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza created the initial character and his design, it was Joe Kelly who made Deadpool into a parody of all the anti-hero books going on at the time of the ongoing and established the character for what he is today. Liefeld may have created Deadpool, but it was Kelly who injected all the asshole comedy slapstick that the character is best known for. Nicieza later wrote the character following Kelly's adjustments as well.

tl;dr his shtick is basically being the anti-antihero. he's not as brooding and grimdark as characters similar to him.
