Tarantino was the director behind notable movies "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill." According to Cinema Blend, he is the perfect man to helm "Deadpool 2" since his passion for pop culture will be going well with the movie's personality. In "Deadpool," there were lots of pop culture references, including "Green Lantern" and "Golden Girls."

They also cited that since Tarantino has a knack for violence becoming an art, he is the right man for "Deadpool 2." Tarantino has already proved himself in sword-fighting sequences and "Deadpool 2" would have lots of violence in it.

Apart from that, "Deadpool 2" could use some elevation in narrative structure since "Deadpool" only relied on a basic and simple origin story structure, leaving fans a bit disappointed. Tarantino is one of the most creative non-linear storytellers out there, making him perfect for "Deadpool 2."

Also, since Tarantino isn't afraid of making a film R-rated, he is good for "Deadpool 2" since the movie would certainly need some blood if it needed to be true to the franchise. The director is also known for playing with genre conventions, meaning he has knowledge on how to take apart a genre and create something new out of it.

"Deadpool 2" would need someone like Tarantino who knows how to play his genre since it is a parody comic book movie as much as it is an actual comic book movie. He has also been cited that he wanted to make a comic book movie - "Deadpool 2" seems the perfect one.
