"I ugly-cry when I watch Deadpool. I have been in that meeting about options for something terminal before. It especially gets me when he talks about how it affects everyone around you. 

Then in the second one, when he is trying to get back to Vanessa and blows himself up, Colossus takes him to the mansion, or when AL is talking to him about the pain... I ugly-cry badly at that."
