Never mind Spawn, Kick-Ass supposedly cost around $30 million and people like it (I don't).
- I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this point because I don't think Russell's films are anywhere near brilliant, though they are arguably closer to being tolerable than Phillips'.

- Comparing Todd Philips to David o Russell is not ideal. David O Russell had brilliance in his early career. That did not go anywhere. Almost all his movies have similar tone as fighter/hustle/playbook. He was never called a comedic director. All his movies are part drama. Todd Philips movies are more in comedic end. Even war dogs felt like a cheap knock off to wolf of wall street. How many of those american dream based movies are there ?
- A crime fighting guy whose body regenerates itself and still get to have and sleep with a girlfriend despite looking like he does he more upbeat than a "cautionary tale" of joker as it read in official logline. People go into deadpool for laughing. Joker not so much

WARNING: "Deadpool 2" spoilers below
