Spoilers Deadpool & Wolverine (Spoilers)

I had a lot of fun with this one.
It was probably helped by the fact that the last 4 films I've been to have all been arthouse and/or Horror films:

Evil does not exist
Kinds of Kindness
Maxxxine
Longlegs

...so I was up for a fun action flick.

The film feels like a love letter to Wolverine, like a victory lap for the character after Logan.

I greatly enjoyed it. i think it was just about perfect in length.

I really appreciated the end credit 20th Century Fox Marvel films sendoff, and the very end end credits scene was a good reminder about how funny Chris Evans is.

If this is really the last time we see Jackman as Wolverine, it was a great way to see him off.

And I am all in for Cavill as Wolverine but my guess is when Marvel gets around to bringing in the X-Men it is going to be a lot of very young, fresh faces.

I think about D&W in two different ways.

1) As a standalone Deadpool movie, I enjoyed it. It brings the fun and the zaniness of our man the pool. It is the weakest of the three deadpools. It definately shares some of the worse traits of the recent marvel movies, completely forgettable bad guy, bloated run time, reliance on cameos over substance, even the 4th wall breaks that were more subtle and less frequent in the Og movies are ramped up to over 9000 in this movie. But all of that aside, I still enjoyed it, it was deadpool for me.

2) As a MCU movie....its terrible. I think the TVA is one of the worst parts of the MCU, bringing a scale to things so high level it just makes everything beneath it seems inconsequential. And here we learn that the entire timeline of an ENTIRE UNIVERSE (not a world, not a galaxy, but a place spanning trillions of galaxies and more life than all of the grains of sand on a trillion earths)..... can hinge on a single creature..... a creature that naturally will die. So are all timelines just doomed to die? Its so beyond ridiculous you just can't help but ignore it.

They also continue to muddy the waters of a multiverse and a variant. Is the multiverse simply variants from the sacred timeline? Why is this deadpool (who was in the sacred timeline) now a variant, was it because of the timeline sheneagans or something else? That part has continued to be vague and hard to understand, and I think it just got worse in this movie.


So yeah, I'll just pretend this is a standalone franchise, and will continue to enjoy it:)

Agreed. Never like the TVA idea / the whole Kang thing.

Hopefully we have seen the back of all this now and can get back to some basics. I can cope with multiverses

This was most definitely a movie. It appealed to the 12 year old in me.

I wouldn't worry about any wider MCU implications. It's a Deadpool movie. Also it seems Marvel are pulling away from mulitverses. Thankfully.

Isnt the Tony Stark as Dr Doom a multiverse shenanigan?

No idea. Is RDJ playing Tony Stark from another universe? Or is he playing Victor von Doom?

I admit I made the remark about pulling away from multiverses based on the first few things said in the Marvel Reveal thread.
