Ok but I was just looking at the comic pages where Deadpool blocks off Thanos with Lady Death and I got to thinking……
The best- BEST- idea for an Infinity War parody/redo of that ending would be Thanos snapping his fingers and… nothing…… nothing happens….
He’s like “??” and snaps again but nothing
So he looks down and thE FREAKING STONES ARE GONE
He looks over and there’s Deadpool with the stones juggling them or inspecting them or something (or even just one stone in theory would work)
And he’s just like “Oh hi there, just your freindly neighborhood Deadpoolman, I bet you’re wondering how I got in this franchise, well, that’s another story for another day, but I bet you’re ALSO wondering how I got these pretty little rocks that’ll get me billions on the black market without anyone seeing me, and the answer this: Plot Device”
And Thanos is just “YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Hi Thanny-baby did'ya’ miss me?”
“What the hell are you even doing here!?”
“Well it’s a funny story, see, Marvel is making too much money off of this franchise- way more than they ever thought they would, so this ~great climax~ they’ve been building to all this time where a bunch of people die kinda can’t happen now, so to combat the worst case of blue balls EVER, they sent you out for foreplay and ME out for the grand finale`, now everyone got their big ol’ ~ultimate teamup~ against you but none of those shaking money-makers actually have to bite the dust, plus with MY gorgeous mug this movie will make even more money than it would have if you HAD killed half of everyone, isn’t that GREAT? I mean it was either this or PRETEND to kill half of everyone just to bring them back in Avengers 4 but really, haha, who would want to see THAT?”
“Look here you hideous insect-!”
“Anyway, I’ve got a date with Death- literally- so I’m going to go pitch these things off a cliff so we can spend the next decade looking for them again! Oh and also? Killing your own daughter? DICK move Thanos, dick, DICK move, Death isn’t very happy about that so she’s sending her back to kill you, bye now!!”
And he just takes off into the woods with Thanos screaming and running after him and everybody is just…….
And Cap- because it HAS to be Cap- finally screams, at the top of his lungs, “What the SHIT!?” and someone, somewhere, quietly, goes “Language!” and that’s it
(The bonus scenes at the end would be Deadpool interrupting iconic MCU moments, walking around in the background at Shwarma, dancing with Baby Groot when Drax isn’t looking, throwing popcorn at Cap and Ironman as they fight, walking into pretty much any scene from Black Panther and quietly going “Don’t tell the others, but you’re my favorite!” this just needs to happen somewhere)
