With the debate that Deadpool 2 has caused, Reese probably knows what “fridging” is now. “So the thought was maybe we can really, really engender great suffering for him by having his line of work be the thing that costs Vanessa her life.” “I think at some point somebody just said, ‘Y’know, Deadpool kind of works best when he’s had everything taken away from him, when he suffers,’” Reese told Vulture. The controversy was compounded by comments from Deadpool 2’s co-writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (who wrote the screenplay with star Ryan Reynolds), who said they didn’t know the trope existed. They have no business existing aside from being a source of pain for the hero. The trope reduces the girlfriend or wife to a plot device. There’s now a debate on whether Vanessa was “ fridged,” a term for a comic book trope in which the girlfriend or wife of a hero dies to further said hero’s motivations and story. Vanessa, the love of Deadpool’s seemingly immortal life, is hit by a stray bullet, which kills her. One of the men from that incomplete mission comes after Deadpool and fires a gun into his home. The most controversial thing that happens in Deadpool 2 takes place in the first few minutes, even before the opening credits roll.ĭeadpool doesn’t finish a mission.
