The joke is on the folks that liked Deadpool because it's an "anti-comic-book-superhero" movie, when it's actually the most faithful comic book superhero to film adaptation ever.

The fact that the book mocks the genre as well doesn't detract from the mocking greatness of the film. That just adds another layer of irony.

Not at all. I have literally no idea how the comics are outside of what I have seen people talk about (on a very limit basis) on here. I'm saying that as a general moviegoer, who has no real knowledge of the comics or the character, that the movie was just okay. It tried too hard to be funny instead of just being funny, if that makes sense. And I get that that's almost exactly how the comic character is, it failed a bit for me. And that's not to say that I hated it or anything. It was pretty good, and funny at times. I just don't agree with the overwhelming adoration it gets (again, that's coming from someone completely unfamiliar with the comics). Does that make sense?
Makes sense, his books aren't liked for the same reason amongst comic fans as well. They did a good job of translating the book character to the movie and it naturally won't be a home run for the average movie goer because of that.

I was wondering if you were going to ask if it was overrated, and that answer is a resounding yes. But that's not a very popular opinion around here, so the downvotes are forthcoming.
Told ya.
