That's not... I mean, I feel pretty comfortable here in saying that you haven't grasped the entirety of Deadpool's character. Certainly not the way he's been used recently. Because I would say the most notable and distinguishing characteristic of Deadpool is the way he's used for humor and his 4th-wall breaking and that whole element of his character. He's not just a badass regenerating mercenary, that's what he was originally but that's not what he's become.

Oh, I get that. But there are people who won't read the comics because they think it's going to be huge pile of background and history that ties in with the rest of the Marvel Universe. (Uncanny X-Force can be a bit like that. But not really.) But, really, he's dark comic relief. All you need to know is that he is a can't be killed mercenary for his background and the rest is over the top camp. (Like making a literal mountain of pancakes so Domino can have something soft to land on.)

Well, those people are a bunch of dumbos. AND I WILL COMPLETELY STAND BY THAT STATEMENT.

I don't know, I agree with you that it's weird that people are put off by superhero comics - there are definitely elements of the Big 2 that are offputting and skeezy, but the history isn't really that big of a deal. It's nothing that a little googling can't solve. And there's plenty that's rewarding about comics! Especially for people in superhero fandoms already.

Then again, I personally really love getting dropped into some kind of continuity and having to puzzle out the backstory and the references and all that. It's a fun thing for me. So maybe I'm not the most unbiased observer.
