[Comics]What should the Deadpool movie be about?

Deadpool has become rather popular as of late. He is the first Marvel character that I read comics for, and essentially became my gateway to American comics (I don't count Sonic). I still haven't finished reading all of his comics, but I've got a pretty decent idea of what he's like.



The Deadpool post Secret Invasion era differs more than the Deadpool in the olden days. Deadpool still has mental and moral conflict, but it all seems a bit forced. Wheras in the past, he was incredibly mentally unstable, and every little thing affected him, from Al running away to T-Ray nearly obliterating him. (You see, Deadpool has a healing factor, so he usually survives everything.)

He attempted to become a hero, but his murderous past somehow catches up with him, with the ghosts of his pals in the Weapon X project haunting him after a rebuilt Ajax brutally murders them all. In the end, Deadpool kills Ajax, yet the ghosts find they cannot leave the earth. They find that Killbrew, the mad scientist who experimented on Deadpool is being pulled into hell, but at least he's not doomed to roam the land. They realize they were chaining themselves to the earth, and realize they dragged Deadpool into this situation for nothing.

Deadpool has always been hesitant to accept Zoe's offer to become the Mithras, however he realizes he can be so much more than just a mercenary.
In the Mithras arc, Deadpool is determined to be the savior of the World by LL&L, tasked with defeating the Tiamet, a threat to the Messiah that would bring the World peace. However, Deadpool did not want this, the responsibility and the weight of the world on his shoulders. The Overlord didn't believe in Deadpool, but Zoe and her partner did. The Overlord undermined their authority and called in Captain America to become the Mithras, to defeat the Tiamet. However, Captain America ultimately became defeated by the Tiamet as Tiamet then goes to kill the Messiah as it approaches the earth.

In the Nick of time, Deadpool comes and does battle with the Tiamet, but with no time left, the beings that granted Tiamet his power stripped him of it and gave the armor to Deadpool. With this, Deadpool learned about the Messiah's true nature, that his purpose is to bring bliss into the world stripping all living beings of free will. Deadpool realizes that humans can be Happy, no more fighting, no more evil. Just eternal bliss. Yet, he doesn't want to make the decision to strip humans of free will, and is conflicted by this. He also grew weary of his own life wanting everything to just stop.
In the end, Deadpool kills the Messiah, knowing well he ruined humanities one chance at living in peace. No one knows what he did, and no one will. But in the end, despite Deadpool's morale conflict and past depravity, he saved the world from potential destruction. He didn't do it for himself, but he did it because he knew it was right. He knows he still won't be considered a hero, and he'll always be a mercenary.

Why do I want this in a Deadpool movie? Because it shows what Deadpool truly is, a wise-cracking mercenary with a ton of internal turmoil as a result of his past. And, imagine the cameos we can get? Captain America, and hell, toss in Stan Lee as the fourth L in LL&L (Too lazy to explain).

As a fan of Deadpool, I really hope they don't **** up the movie.
