Deadpool is a character who pushes both boundaries and the limits of the audience. We’re very much used to Ryan Reynolds’ performance of the merc with a mouth as being baiting and goading.
This style is something that comes from the comics themselves, even if Reynolds has perhaps inflated it a bit further in recent years.
Marvel's mosr recent Disney+ hit came in the form of animation with X-Men '97
This is, of course, the inspiration for those who work in Disney Parks and put on the Deadpool suit. It’s their job to entertain the guests and they’re taking a page out of Reynolds’ book.

However, it seems one such Disney performer pushed things a bit too far in a recent appearance when they made jokes at the expense of a Disney guest who died at a park.
For this, you might need a bit of back story. A woman named Kanokporn Tangsuan reportedly died after having an allergic reaction caused by a meal at a Disney park.
Her husband wanted to sue the park however a lawsuit was temporarily blocked as the husband had accepted conditions not to sue Disney when agreeing to the terms and conditions of Disney+ in 2019.
Back to Deadpool. During an event in a Disney Park called ‘Storytime with Deadpool’ the performer in costume joked that “Cinderpool was late [to the big battle] because he had to read every single page in the terms and conditions when he signed up for Disney+.”

This was a step too far for some Marvel fans who saw the clip on social media.
Twitter user, JUSTINtime4aLAF, said, “Kinda makes my skin crawl.”
While another Twitter comment from burntwaffl3s said, “Someone f**king died and now Disney is having the fun quirky character say this to make us only view insane policy as a “stupid” thing rather than some actual 1984 bullshit.”
Lastly, MaidArchonRoses commented on the joke, “I hate this because this is a great joke for a Disney Deadpool to say, but this "joke" exists because someone fucking died and this is their way to turn it into laughing material.”
