fans ask the hard question: if cable and deadpool both have facial scars, which one is the villain?

Now this is quite the conundrum. After the trailer for the upcoming Deadpool sequel, Deadpool 2 was released online, audiences were outright confused at the epic arrival of the franchise's newest time traveling adversary, Cable, due to his ridiculously messed up face.

And with Deadpool's deeply scarred visage already garnering him some anti-hero vibes already, fans were forced to ask the question -- if Cable and Deadpool both have facial scars, which one of them is the bad man that does bad things because bad?

In fact, this brain twister of a mystery has downright perplexed fans, as abnormal facial deformities is the biggest and some might say only indicator for villainy within film. "There's nothing grosser than an asymmetrical face with human flaws," said a Deadpool fanboy administering Accutane ointment on his forehead outside an AMC. "But between Deadpool's oatmeal face and Cable's laser eye, we're just not sure who to root for."

And since visual cues are the sole barometer for character and morality, the film taking the unusual approach of pitting scar vs. scar has audiences wary of seeing such an ambiguous picture, with the box office already predicted to take a major hit come its nationwide release.

"The Joker, Tony Montana, Raoul Silva, Kylo Ren, Dr. Poison, Thanos, Darth Vader, Freddy Krueger, and The Wicked Witch of the East, Bro -- now those are some villains I can easily identify by their personal appearance and definitely not their words or actions or behavior," said someone on Twitter.

Some fans have already criticized the directorial vision of the film, knocking the makeup department as well for not giving Deadpool a more subtle and attractive scar like Harry Potter's lightning bolt, or perhaps a pale thin line that's healed quite nicely, making the character grizzled enough for a raunchy R rating, but not too grizzly to want him killed in the third act. An online petition has already received over 10,000 signatures to have Ryan Reynolds' scars moved to his knees or even the soles of his feet to ensure his unblemished features are shown, solidifying the fact that Deadpool good, Cable bad.

It seems the negative reaction to the trailer has already made quite the effect as the studio has made a hasty retraction in the visual effects department, pushing Deadpool 2 six months back to meticulously remove the facial prosthetics from Deadpool's face, and add two more scars, some dark circles, and a stray booger on Cable to widen the gap in the good vs. evil discrepancy. Looks like it's question asked and answered now that we can confidently throw tomatoes at the screen whenever Cable appears, and sleep soundly knowing that the shallow equation of scar = evil that's been drilled in our tiny, little heads since The Lion King has been satisfied. Thanks Hollywood!
