Andy, if anything needed renaming, it was the weird excuse for Deadpool that they had in Origins.
What bugs me though, is that at the start, when you had Wade Wilson swinging his swords, being awesome and cocky, they really just needed to give him a healing factor and put him in a red morphsuit and they'd have had Deadpool. The whole bollocks with him not being able to talk (so much for the Merc With a Mouth), making him able to steal mutants powers and putting the swords in his arms like Logan's claws, just made him completely unrecognisable as Deadpool.
As for a standalone Deadpool movie, Ryan Reynolds has said:
“the way we want to do it is pretty nasty, and pretty hard. You can’t exactly have a $200 million budget when you want to do a movie like this.”

Comic book hero movies don't HAVE to be PG-13 - look at The Punisher, the last 2 movies have been no holds barred, R-rated stuff. And that's how (I'm hoping) they're going to do Deadpool.
