Deadpool 2 is a massive global hit.
However, a very small group of fans are deeply offended by the movie.
They object to the lack of Morena Baccarin's Vanessa in the film.
Vanessa was seen as the anti-thesis to the damsel in distress trope used in comic book films.
However, she was abruptly killed off in the first 15 minutes of Deadpool 2.
Director David Letich has responded to the fans grumbling about her death.
---It's Deadpool's movie and you need to take everything away from him to humanize him.---
Despite being shot, Vanessa serves as a strong driver of the film's narrative.
Letich pointed out that Vanessa doesn't leave the film.
She helps Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson learn the film's lesson.
---Even the scene at the end where they visit each other in the afterlife, hugely emotional, great performances by both of them. So, again, I don't think she left the movie.---
