the middle part of the movie (the origin story) keeps it from being a good Superhero movie.
Just watch the first Act and the final Act, forget the crappy middle part that was just filler

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Normal people liked it, too, so it must be terrible. Or something.

It wouldn't really be hilarious though. It'd only be getting the nod BECAUSE of the Dark Knight snub. Without that snub, they don't increase the nominees to 10 and Deadpool never has even a sliver of a chance.
If the same rule had been around then Dark Knight would have gotten one easy.

This would be ridiculous. It would show just how much superficial the members of the academy are.
I love Deadpool, but no.

How is liking a movie superficial now?

I like you. Deadpool is getting a nom cause it's simply better duh.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
I enjoyed it but I really don't see anything there that makes it worthy of an Oscar. I watch something like La La Land, Fences, or Moonlight and I actually felt something walking out of the theater. *shrug*
I had the same feeling about Mad Max getting nominated. I really enjoyed that one too, but I'm not in sync with the rest of the internet cheering it on to win.

This is NeoGAF.
Anything is possible. BP has potential for sure. Coogler, powerhouse cast, and a African Society more advance than the rest of the world.

Superficial like refusing to respect something because it doesn't fit into a narrow set of acceptable subgenres?

Deadpool is a much better movie than several other best picture winners in recent memory.

Mad Max and Deadpool are not comparable.
One is a film we never get anymore, and the other is one we get every 3 months, except this time he breaks the fourth wall and talks about his dick.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
I thought it was decent and would be amused if it got a BP nomination.

this getting a nod would be so deadpool
It's a low budget Superhero comedy that lands every 1 in 10 jokes, but the Superhero says 100 jokes a minute so you laugh or snicker and some memes are generated. It was alright and slightly different compared to other superhero movies in a few ways, but it also falls back on the save the girl I love trope which was not that great.

One is actually a funny explicit movie and in the year of Bad Moms, Sausage Party, Office Christmas Party and Why Him? shouldn't be taken for granted
Yes Mad Max is a better movie but I'm not gonna be fussed if Deadpool gets a nom. It was certainly a lot more entertaining than any other recent formulaic superhero movie or terrible comedy movie.

Does it really deserve it though? Is it really one of the best films of the year?

I don't think it should tbh.

Since when did that decide whether something deserved an Oscar nom?

You can call the Deadpool movie a lot of things but you could never accuse it of being an Oscar Bait film.
Can't be more embarrassing than it already is.
And yes I enjoyed Deadpool but wow...awards ? lol. It's a mediocre but slightly enjoyable film. But award worthy ? lol.

Arrival will clearly win it.

It's a better movie than The Artist, Argo or Crash.
I hear this sentiment a lot, but I feel it wouldn't take long for the Comedy/Musical category to be seen as the lesser one. Drama would become the "real BP". It should remain one category, and the Academy should be more accepting of other kinds of movies. Plus, it isn't just comedies that get overlooked for BP.

whether the jokes didn't land with you or not does not make it a bad movie? It is a film not for everybody because Deadpool just like the comics is hands down the most annoying hero in comics.

The movie is on HBO now so non-comic book super fans, such as myself, can watch it. I thought it was an above average comic book movie and I am glad I did not pay money to see it.

In a perfect world, it or Kubo would. In reality it'll be Moonlight, Manchester by the Sea or La La Land.

Nah, as Ryan and one of the original Deadpool co-creators have said, he'd just try to shove it up his butt to see if it fit and for the hell of it.
Not really I enjoyed both Civil War and Deadpool and I couldn't give a toss if Deadpool wins the Oscar as I pay little attention to it.
But this was also the same year that Hunt for the Wilderpeople, The Lobster, and Popstar: Never Stop Stopping were released (Lobster in 2016 for America), so there have been better comedies.
all 3 deserve the recognition. Moonlight is arguably the best picture of the year.
have you seen them?
If Deadpool is nominated for anything then they absolutely need to have Reynolds do something in-character as Deadpool. If we can have Woody and Buzz from Toy Story present an award, so can Deadpool

Haven't seen Hunt for the Wilderpeople but I've seen The Lobster and Popstar and I just have to assume this post is sarcasm cause they were both awful.
I've seen them all now and they're all high quality films and I wouldn't be pissed if they got the BP. Just saying from my personal opinion Arrival or Kubo were my favorites.
A comedy that's not funny is a good comedy?
There were some good jokes, but again it runs on the say so much something has to land format.

No cape film is deserving of BP tbh.

Yeah I loved Deadpool but award worthy makes me lol
Well I guess I can reverse my last post. If any mediocre comic movie were to earn a nomination, the philosophies of Deadpool would be a great choice. lol
