liefeld lacks any self awareness. joe kelly and to a lesser extent mark waid are responsible for deadpool's current success. and the chance that anyone makes a movie or tv show based on something from his extreme properties is about as likely as sony making a season three of powers.

In the interview Rob credits the film makers and Ryan for doing Deadpool better than he ever did, credits Joe Kelly for the fourth wall breaking, and cites Rick Remender for Deadpool's sinisterness, and all the performances of the actors in the films for the film's success.
