The Deadpool Surprised meme originates from the 2016 live-action Deadpool film starring Ryan Reynolds. Unlike most superhero masks, Deadpool’s features expressive, CGI-enhanced eye patches that allow for exaggerated facial expressions. This specific shocked look became a viral sensation because it perfectly captures a mix of genuine horror and sarcastic disbelief. It is frequently used in reaction threads to respond to scandalous news, plot twists, or moments of 'fake' surprise where the outcome was actually quite obvious. The character's meta-humor makes this template a staple for memes that need a touch of irreverence.
