I know that Reynolds does make goofy comments to people that are then quoted, so your statement has some weight. But, surely there are other actors who fit their roles as well as he does Deadpool, if not moreso?

After three months, six-day-a week workouts, and a 3,200-calorie daily diet, Ryan Reynolds gained 25 pounds of muscle to be Deadpool. I love this spirit and he is my Deadpool ever

Just from watching his interviews , even pre-deadpool he has that same fast paced wit and presence about him that Deadpool has. The character fits him so well.

OK.

I don't think there is a more "No brainer" casting choice than Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool. His real personality is pretty much identical to the character, save the vulgarity.

He's done a lot better work than this horrible garbage.
