content: Such a telling description of how 3rd wave feminism is NOT about Equality but rather about supplanting men Reese: That's a really good question. That's one that if you asked Deadpool, he'd probably go, "HA!" And then he'd say some crazy stuff. He would not consider himself a feminist. I think what we tried to do is make the women in his life really good, three-dimensional characters who give as good as they get, and who are good foils for him and good matches for him. If people feel there's a slightly feminist vibe, I think that's awesome. If they're worried that it's a damsel in distress story, that's true. But I also feel like Vanessa is a really strong character. Just because she's physically grabbed by the villain at one point, doesn't mean that she's ever mentally bested in the field. She totally tops Wade in every battle of the wits they have, so it's a tough question to answer. I wish I had an easier answer than that. From CBR
