TEXTUAL ANALYSIS-DEADPOOLAlfio AL Hussainy
Genre• Comedy/Action Hero• Can tell it’s a comedy because of the title sequence being
replaced with stereotypes of certain roles E.g “hot chick”• Furthermore, there are also multiple throwbacks to the
past works of the main actor, “sexiest man alive and green lantern”
• Can tell its an action due to the amount of guns and explosions present in the first 2 minutes
Main Character• Iconic character is clearly main cause of chaos• Crotch shot further hinting at comedy• Despite the freeze frame in the heat of action, Deadpool is
posing for the camera or breaking the 4th wall, a typical comedic technique synonymous with the brand.
Narrative• Camera pans around a time frozen car crash before
cutting to the beginning of the action sequence.
Titling • Titling is used for comedy rather than to give credit to
those who worked on the film for the sake of comedy using stereotypes;
• “Gods perfect idiot”• “An over paid tool”• “Hot chick”• “A cgi character”All of these are common within action films.
