Deadpool's eyes cut to David and they are narrowed. So far, he's made it pretty clear to a lot of people how he feels about somebody trying to impose lessons on him. Of course, one of those lessons revolves around him not being in control. That is likely the root of his rage against the machine here. Otherwise, he would kind of love the quirky adventures this place makes for...if they didn't also come with sanctimonious commentary from stupid carnival barkers.

Slowly but surely, however, he's coming to be used to the fact that he's not in control of everything right down to the narration that describes what's going on here. That doesn't mean he likes it though.

"Not by choice," he grates. Except...he kind of is, in that he was the character in his writer's head most eager to dive into this game. But games involve character arcs, and his arc here involves dealing with his control issues. And when one was used to knowing everything and breaking all of the fourth walls when everyone else around one was oblivious, that lead to some truly gnarly control issues.

"On the last island! I caught up to him in the market and yelled at him a bunch and might have implied you told me I could be an X-Factor and he relented and let me be one as long as I stopped bothering him. I think he might be making a new X-Factor, not to be confused with an All-New, All-Different X-Factor, to operate on these islands. And I mean, you've seen the islands. Wouldn't you agree that they kinda need a super hero team of some kind?"
