Firstly, let me say I completely agree that this film isn't good, for many reasons. Deadpool is like nails down a blackboard to me. I really can't abide the character (and Ryan Reynolds in general isn't an actor I much care for).

That said, re: the Bechdel Test. This to me is a surging tide of irrelevance when it come to assessing the quality of a film. A good story is a good story, regardless of whether it features a mixture of men and women, or all women or all men. Is anyone seriously going to suggest The Descent isn't a great horror film because it has an all-female cast? Is anyone going to seriously suggest Lawrence of Arabia isn't an iconic landmark of epic cinema because it has an all-male cast? Alison Bechdel herself said the test was intended as an academic joke and never meant as a serious metric for a film's quality.

If you felt this film could have done with better female characters, that's fair enough. But citing the Bechdel Test is something I find increasingly irritating.

Again, all that said, I completely agree with the thrust of this article. I find Deadpool unbearably annoying, and this film was no exception. For my full thoughts, check out my review. :)
