Deadpool 2 (2018)

The film's central themes of found family, redemption, and protecting the innocent are universally appealing and are not tied to a specific political ideology. Its pervasive meta-humor and satire also prevent it from promoting any singular political viewpoint, instead focusing on character-driven arcs and comedic deconstruction.

The movie demonstrates significant DEI through the explicit racial recasting of a traditionally white comic book character. While featuring a diverse cast and positively portraying an LGBTQ+ relationship, its narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities.

Deadpool 2 features a prominent lesbian couple, Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Yukio, whose relationship is normalized and positively integrated into the narrative. They are depicted as competent, heroic X-Men, with their identity presented as an accepted aspect of their lives, contributing to an overall affirming portrayal.

The film features female characters such as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Domino, and Yukio who participate in action sequences. However, their combat engagements against male opponents primarily rely on superpowers (concussive blasts), luck-based environmental interactions, or ranged attacks, rather than direct close-quarters physical skill, strength, or martial arts.
