Deadpool was a comic first and yes, that was the point. Deadpool is the only Marvel character who knows that he is a Marvel character. He was around vefore Taiko Watiti decided to self-insert in every movie as a failed comedian.
Tl;dr: it wasn't Deadpool's fault.
Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree.
I haven't read the comic books that they're based on for a long time, but as I recall, they also break the fourth wall. I don't think that that was introduced specifically for the movie.

Apparently that wasn't always there:

When Did Deadpool First Break The Fourth Wall?
Marvel's Deadpool is known for his over-the-top violence and crude and crass humor, but perhaps his best-known character trait is his penchant for repeatedly breaking the fourth wall. Deadpool talks to the audience in comics, films and videogames - but he didn't always have this power. In fact, early Deadpool was known for being quite serious and firmly rooted in the fictional realm...so when did the Merc with a Mouth first break the fourth wall - and how did he insult editors everywhere by doing so?
Deadpool and the assassin with superhuman accuracy Bullseye teamed up in previous issues, and in Deadpool #28, the two are reunited after a long absence. "How long has it been!?" Bullseye exclaims. Deadpool simply states "Issue sixteen." It's the smallest of fourth-wall breaks (he hadn't even began speaking to the readers yet), but it shows that Deadpool is doing more than acting out - he's acting as his own editor. Considering convoluted comics continuity, it's normal for editors to occasionally place footnotes in certain panels, specifically when characters reference past events. Perhaps Kelly and Woods considered the old method, but wanted to try a new technique. Whatever their reasoning, Deadpool's fourth wall breaks became a staple of the character.
Looks like Deadpool #28 dates to 1997, though, so Deadpool breaking the fourth wall has been around for over a quarter of a century.
I don’t think it’s OPs point that the movie did it first, just that it was annoying in the movie. And they're right.
I love the first Dune book, and I love the goofy 80's Dune movie, which was pretty close to the book in terms of getting a lot of the internal dialog in place. But I hated the new Dune movie. I didn't like how sterile and empty they made the palace, or the weird anus mouth design of the sand worms. Or the silly use of balloons to help lift harvesters. I very much didn't like how they made Lady Jessica an emotional mess, instead of being in control of her outward emotions, as she was trained to do.
They also screwed up the personal defense shields REAL BAD. The idea that the shields react to kinetic energy, so a fast moving project from a firearm would get stopped, but a slow moving blade would pass through. The fight near the end had people being killed by fast sword strikes by hitting the shields, it was just so jarring and lazy. They also completely misrepresented who and what the Sardukar are. Based on how many people loved the movie, I have an unpopular opinion. Though I found that most people who absolutely loved the movie hadn't seen the original movie, or read the first book, so they didn't know anything to color their impression.
I prefer flam over flim.
I found Inception to be stupid AF. It looked amazing, but the story was meh. Interstellar however, is the shit.
The critic rating is better than the audience rating. I’ve never seen a film with a high critic rating that didn’t have something worthwhile about it. But I’ve seen a lot of audience hits that were garbage.
The original Star Wars movies were probably really good and genre defining in the late 70s, but they're just boring and campy now.
Seeing movies in the theater is overrated and they are far more enjoyable at home.
Alien 3 was pretty okay. I'd watch it again
Predator 2 was a great film and a great sequel to the original Predator movie.
The Marvel universe hasn't ruined anything, it's a trend, and temporary.
The Thirteenth Floor (1999) depicts a better story about simulated reality than The Matrix (1999) does.
At the top of every reddit "What movie should never be remade?" thread is the LOTR trilogy. Well... I totally agree the movies are great, but not quite timeless. When I rewatched them a couple years ago for the first time in a long time I couldn't get over the feeling that it screamed "Filmed and directed in the late 90s and early 00s!" I don't have the film knowledge to point out exactly what it is but something about the way it is shot looks very dated to me and hasn't aged as well, in my opinion, as everyone on the internet says it is.
I really do love the music and the art style and sets and casting too. Maybe it doesn't need a reshoot, but a recut?
As much as I love Denis Villeneuve, I still love David Lynch's Dune more. Yes, the acting is spotty, and there were more than a few questionable changes to the plot, but I can't get that art direction out of my mind. That being said, I haven't seen part two yet.
Meet the Robinsons is one of Disney's best 3D movies and aged like wine
Vegas Vacation is the best of the original National Lampoon vacation movies
it has peak Eddie, great meta commentary on the series, Clark being exposed as the shitcunt he really is, and a hilarious side plot with Wayne newton.
I love Christmas vacation but we always watch Vegas every Christmas too
I hate Life of Pi. The book. My kid had to read it for school and warned me not to, I thought, well I read fast, no big deal if it's not great.
I want that two hours of my life back and can't watch the movie because I hated the book so much. So much.
All superhero movies are dumb af. All of em, especially the one who s wearing blue underwear over his pants
Star wars is lame & trash. Everyone who likes is either nostalgic or delusional
All of James Bonds are trash & stereotypes and not worth the electricity to run
The Irishman - It was so highly recommended by many but I could only go through half the movie (which is 3h long) and despite having watched 90 mins I couldn't bring myself to watch the second half or recap what happened in the first. Maybe too much flew over my head but it bored me too much and I couldn't see the appeal at all.
I don't like the star wars movies, think they're not nearly as good as people claim they are
This is certainly down to me being raised in a post OT world of good sci fi, but that doesn't make them worth watching these days. The only reason they are imo is to understand extended media
Extended star wars media though? Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
