This Adult Scene From Deadpool Was Definitely The Most Controversial Scene

The Pegging scene

Yep, you remember that scene. How could you forget it? In one sex-heavy montage from “Deadpool,” Wade offers something you rarely see from an action hero: He invites Vanessa to wear a strap-on dildo and penetrate him from the rear.

Deadpool assumptions

Not only is this “Deadpool” moment delightfully offensive, but it’s also a refreshing change in how mainstream movies portray sex. It’s rare to see sex scenes that cater to anything other than heteronormative male desire, yet “Deadpool” challenges assumptions about power dynamics in the bedroom.

Of course, not everyone thinks this moment was as revolutionary as the filmmakers hoped. Some have argued that this taboo-breaking moment is less meaningful if Wade treats it as a chore to be undergone only once a year.

Although countless movies show women receiving anal sex without even a hint of discomfort, it makes it seem awkward or icky when a man is on the bottom.

Critics such as Maddy Myers with The Mary Sue suspect the movie shied away from showing Wade’s pleasure here out of fear that audiences would reject it as “too gay”. Of course, it’s worth noting that Wade seems more eager to try pegging with Vanessa again in “Deadpool 2,” which is perhaps the filmmakers’ answer to this controversy.
