Deadpool Is Reasonably Competent at What He Does
…and what he does is kill a lot of people. Of course, one might say the Deadpool also cracks wise, and that’s he’s more than competent at that — one might even say “the best” — but this new Deadpool-centric trailer for Activision’s Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 just focuses on the killing and not so much the joking. I’m not sure what this actually shows about the game other than possibly flashier superpower moves, but since 9/10ths of the TR readership is composed of Deadpool fanatics, neither you nor I likely give a shit. Thanks to MyNoNos for the tip.
