The first two felt fine and just classic Deadpool dumbassery.
Then the third one feels actually malicious and part of a very odd trend where superheroes across the spectrum must lose their girlfriend and be dating someone else.
Like, it felt awful when Spiderman was doing it 20+ years ago and no one liked it there. Its continued commonplace really feels like a humiliation ritual, a way to tear down "heroes" people look up to.
And it's always either A. Some bullshit offscreen thing that happened and so they have to write this stupid ass awkward dialogue "uou KNOW what you did" "I did know. But could never admit to her that I did... THAT" so they can string along a fake mystery.
Or B. They have litterally the most abrupt breakup of all time. I think of the Fear Itself one where Kitty and Piotr break up. Like literal child sweethearts that make Emma Frost sick and she dumps him at the drop of at hat because he "sacrifices himself to save the world to much"
Where his wife is brought back from the dead, just to call his crusade stupid and selfish and him evil, that she had already sold all of his houses and possessions so she can then divorce him and give his half to gay charities (while keeping her own), that it was what she intended to do all along and she hated him before she died, and then leaves while pregnant with a child he will never see.
Of course that one doesn't even have half the "excuses" for its existence, its a clear actual humiliation ritual to tear down a character that the Right loves.
This seems like actual parody and this is for real? Are they actually high? Honest to God these people just hate everything about comics and should never ever be allowed to write for any publication or movie or whatnot, sounds like a bad fanfiction maybe.
It is actually for real. Its entirely designed to ruin the character and show him to be a weak pathetic man who can't stand up to his boss bitch wife who always hated him anyway.
Ironically, within a year they brought back the series with a near identical copycat character (didn't even bother to make it a chick or black) who is so similar people in universe just assume its Frank too. So they couldn't even commit to the bit, they just wanted the controversy and headlines of it.

I think the recent Punisher one takes the cake.
