DEADPOOl 2 Has Now Crossed The $500 Million Milestone At The Worldwide Box Office

@Redhood92 - It's official Deadpool is now more famous than Han Solo and the Justice League.

@mastakilla39 - it's a new era of movie genre. CBM are taking over s

@mastakilla39 - oh, are you not joking... money isn’t exactly synonymous with fame.

I’d say more people know about Han Solo and Justice league than Deadpool. That’s kinda common sense. They have been popular for decades longer than him.

I mean, it’s not like I skipped solo because I don’t like Han Solo. That’s the very reason I skipped it actually.

@mastakilla39 - more popular to xmen series and fantastic four, Electra , manthing, wolverine origins

@mastakilla39 - With those stupid logic, Avatar must be more popular and famous than the Avengers and Star Wars then.

@mastakilla39 - Why are you having trouble with the definition of "famous"? The word has a meaning; how well known something is; a meaning that existed long before there were films, let alone measuring those films by how much money they make.

The numbers that would be associated with fame are a poll that asked "have you heard of..." More people would answer yes to the Justice League and Han Solo as characters than to Deadpool. That's not the same thing as being willing to spend money on their movies.

I fully agree that the first Deadpool movie is more popular than both the Han Solo and Justice League films, and that Deadpool 2 may finish above them as well. It's just that popularity of a film, which is best measured in dollars, is not the same as how well known a character is.

Just ask yourself if a 3rd Deadpool film was made and flopped, would Deadpool then be less "famous"? Maybe even less famous than Han Solo and the Justice League? Would at that point fewer people know who Deadpool is than do now?

@mastakilla39 - No. I've said nothing that supports your point.

There is nothing there about cash. There never will be. Money spent on something is not its renown.

I'll only agree that money spent is a measure of the popularity of one movie versus another movie. That isn't fame.

A successful movie can make a character more famous, but it isn't a measure of the preexisting awareness of a character. By your logic, Deadpool is more famous than Wolverine. He's not. People's awareness of Deadpool is growing because his 1st movie was successful and his 2nd movie is going to be pretty successful too. However, if you asked a hundred people to name a character from the X-men film or comic universe, more people would say Wolverine than any other character. He's the most famous X-man by a country mile.

Also by your logic, Deadpool is less famous now than he was in 2016 because this film isn't making as much money as the first one. That's ridiculous. Many more people know who Deadpool is now, after his first film, than did before his first film. Those people didn't suddenly forget who he was because his 2nd movie is making less money. They just, for whatever reason, didn't want to buy as many tickets to see the film. That should be clear to anyone who wants to use the word "famous" in an intellectually honest way.

I'm going to stop replying now. I was trying to help you avoid unnecessary arguments with other people, but I don't think you want that. I'm getting the feeling that you just want to 'win' an argument rather than be factually accurate. Have a good day.

@whynot - Show me the numbers or

@NotoriousWolf23 - Did it reached it already? last i remember it was bearly a few millions away, wouldn't be surprised if it crossed it already lol
