Don’t think I didn’t notice that the only two X-Force members who were still standing by the end of the movie were also the two people Cable dated in the comics. And if you still think Cable and Deadpool never dated you absolutely missed the point when Deadpool was asked what his relation to Cable was and he responded “Don’t ask, don’t tell”. That was him saying “We’re dating but we’re not allowed to show it because then fuckboys will make a scene”. Not being allowed to show it certainly didn’t stop Deadpool from TALKING about it though. A lot.
Anyway, I think I prefer movie Cable to comic Cable just because he doesn’t seem to suffer from that tiring messiah complex. It’s also incredibly refreshing to see Cable flirt with Deadpool in a sort of “It pisses me off that I’m attracted to you” way instead of it always being Deadpool chasing Cable.
