Primary

Once Upon a Deadpool is a comedic re-edit of Deadpool 2, primarily focusing on meta-commentary about film censorship and genre tropes, alongside themes of found family and personal redemption. Its irreverent humor and character-driven narrative consciously avoid promoting any specific political ideology, resulting in a neutral stance.

The movie demonstrates significant DEI through the explicit racial recasting of a traditionally white character. However, its narrative does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities, maintaining a neutral or positive framing in that regard.

Secondary

The film features an openly depicted, stable same-sex relationship between Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Yukio, presented with dignity and normalcy. Deadpool's own sexually fluid remarks further contribute to a subtly inclusive environment. The net impact is positive, as LGBTQ+ identities are affirmed without being a source of mockery or conflict.

The character Domino, canonically depicted as white in Marvel comics, is portrayed by a Black actress in the film. This constitutes a race swap.

The film "Once Upon a Deadpool" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative and character arcs do not engage with transgender identity in any capacity, resulting in no direct portrayal to evaluate.

While female characters like Domino, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Yukio participate in action sequences and engage with male opponents, their victories are primarily achieved through the use of their unique superpowers (luck manipulation, concussive blasts, electricity) rather than direct physical combat skill, strength, or martial arts against multiple male opponents.

This film is a re-release of "Deadpool 2" with added framing scenes. All established characters from the source material or previous installments maintain their canonical gender portrayals.
