Movie And TV Scenes Deleted Due To Controversy
By Daniel Kim
You'd think a character like Deadpool would be immune to controversy. After all, the character is so over the top that you can pretty much write off anything he says or does. However, Deadpool 2 did wind up cutting a controversial scene, a moment that plays with one of those great morality questions that many time travel stories wrestle with.
At the end of the film, Deadpool travels through the past, righting a few wrongs (like murdering Ryan Reynolds before he can portray Green Lantern). But things got dark during test screenings of the film, where the post-credit scenes featured Deadpool meeting the infant Adolf Hitler. He wrestles with what he should do, and then reaches into the crib as the scene cuts to black.
Yeah, it's pretty grim, and the scene was cut for obvious reasons. However, in the home release of the extended "Super Duper Cut," it's revealed that Deadpool merely picks baby Adolf up, decides to be nice to him, and changes his diaper. However, Deadpool doesn't plan on leaving Hitler alive for long, as he promises that he'll come back soon with his child-murdering buddy, Cable. After all, as Deadpool puts it, "He has a real way with kids."
Considering the plot of Deadpool 2 and how it's all about why murdering children is a bad idea, we're glad they decided to delete this scene.
