I remember watching Deadpool (2016) for the first time and laughing so hard I spilled my popcorn.
But when the revenge montage came on, it got me thinking – why did Deadpool kill that woman (the one at 1:39 time stamp of the video below)? I mean, the guy’s chaotic, but was it really necessary?
Let me break it down for you because, trust me, there’s more to it than just a bloody good time.

Deadpool’s Character Is the King of Chaos and Questionable Choices
Let’s start with the obvious: Deadpool isn’t your friendly neighborhood superhero. He’s a mercenary with absolutely no chill, and he definitely doesn’t play by the rules.
Sure, he cracks jokes, but he’s also got a seriously dark side that makes him unpredictable.
One moment, he’s saving someone from a mugger; the next, he’s blowing up a guy because he looked at him funny.
In this case, Deadpool wasn’t trying to be a hero or even an antihero. He was just being himself – a man on a mission who doesn’t care if his actions land him on Santa’s naughty list (spoiler: they do).
If you know his comic roots, you’ll get it.
Deadpool was originally a villain, and while he’s evolved over the years, his chaotic, morally gray nature has stayed the same. That’s just who he is.
Why Did He Kill Her? The Revenge Tour Explained
Now, about that montage. The woman Deadpool killed wasn’t some innocent bystander. She worked for Francis (aka Ajax), the guy who tortured Deadpool and made his life a living hell
In the movie, Deadpool’s goal was simple: take down everyone connected to Francis until he got the answers – and revenge – he wanted.
This wasn’t just random violence. The woman was part of the group that experimented on Deadpool, and if you watch closely, she attacked him first.
So yeah, Deadpool didn’t exactly send flowers and a thank-you note in return.
Deadpool’s Unique Philosophy: “Equal Rights, Equal Fights”
Here’s the thing about Deadpool: he’s an equal-opportunity killer. Man, woman, alien – it doesn’t matter to him. If you’re in his way, you’re a target.
And honestly, in a weirdly twisted way, it’s refreshing. Deadpool doesn’t discriminate; he’s all about gender equality in his chaos.
Now, does that make him progressive? Maybe. Does it make him scary? Absolutely. The point is, Deadpool doesn’t see gender when he’s in combat.
He sees threats, obstacles, or, in this case, someone who worked for the man he hated most. If that’s not gender-blind, I don’t know what is.
The Bigger Picture of How People Misunderstand Deadpool
I think a lot of people forget where Deadpool came from. These days, he’s the funny guy who loves tacos and breaks the fourth wall.
But if you look at his comic book origins, it’s a much darker story. Deadpool was originally a straight-up villain.
His life has been shaped by tragedy and betrayal, and that’s what makes him so complex.
In the movie, we see glimpses of this darker side. The torture he endured at Francis’s hands left him broken – physically and emotionally.
Killing Francis’s associates wasn’t just about revenge; it was Deadpool’s way of taking back control after being so powerless for so long.
So, Why Did He Do It?
The short answer? She worked for Francis, attacked Deadpool, and got caught up in his revenge tour.
The longer answer? Deadpool is chaotic, unpredictable, and deeply flawed
He doesn’t follow traditional moral codes, and his actions – while entertaining – often walk the line between justified and excessive.
At the end of the day, Deadpool killed her because that’s who he is. He’s a mess of contradictions: funny but tragic, heroic but ruthless, chaotic but calculated.
Love him or hate him, you can’t deny he’s one of the most entertaining characters out there. And honestly? That’s why we keep watching.
