Pity it suckered more and more people into thinking it is an actual good movie.

How about the piece of dialogue that goes:You're probably thinking, "My boyfriend said this was a superhero movie but that guy in the suit just turned that other guy into a fucking kabab!" Well, I may be super, but I'm no hero. And yeah, technically, this is a murder. But some of the best love stories start with a murder. And that's exactly what this is, a love story. And to tell it right... I gotta take you back to long before I squeezed this ass into red spandex.
Implying a) women in the audience (whom the "joke" was addressed to) would not have seen the movie except their boyfriends told them it was a superhero movie b) women wouldn't know who Deadpool are.
The "joke" was not amusing, and made a stereotypical point.
Then the pegging scene during the Calendar of Sex montage shows him clearly not into it/borderline non-consenting.
Then the premise of it: Guy falls in love with girl, girl falls in love with guy but guy becomes Hollywood ugly and assumes that girls only care for physical looks is sexist.
Finally: It fails the Bechdel test despite having 3 really awesome female characters none of them have any exchanges.
Deadpool from a critical standpoint has a lot of flaws that I think viewers and critics tend to overlook.

I never even heard of it.
