Me too!! Also, my theory of Hannibal King was actually Wade Wilson undercover before he became a freelance merc and before he became Deadpool. I literally screamed **I KNEW IT!! I WAS RIGHT!** when Deadpool was talking to Blade and Blade said he hated him, and Deadpool said "You always have"

it was just one big fight scene. Absolutely nothing happened in the movie basically. No point of it. Just say u wanted action fights and no actual plot or anything that makes marvel good😂😂

[@thearmchairjournalist566]

Dead Pool is the only comic book movie made by someone who is absolutely obsessed with the genre and ensures the story is a true reflection of the characters! That’s what makes it so special as Ryan is in love with DP and it also helps that the character is based on him 😂 Dead Pool is finally a IP that doesn’t care what Disney, Warner Bros and etc thinks and goes for what they want to do instead of for future income.

Deadpool isn't based on Ryan that's just glaze. Deadpool was created in 91 while Ryan didn't get famous till 02. In 91 Ryan was 13-15. Plus Ryan's take on Deadpool is more based on Nolan Norths Deadpool from the games rather than the comic version.

[@BaoNguyen-bh2rk]

15:55 "Hey guys!" That was one heck of an intro.

[@OuroborosTheFirstSon]

Don't think he understands the concept of an intro, kinda weird for a dude whose channel is based around analysis. Idk why it started to annoy me recently. Like if you met him irl he'd have a 15 minute exposition of whatever is on his mind, then realizes that you're there, goes "Hi friend" and just continues on with his string of thoughts.

[@bongbongGAMING7878]

Even though both characters have regeneration powers, they do feel pain. Their fighting is mostly about wanting to hurt each other.

[@Verrill82]

Must say, the MCU's introduction of the TVA and opening up the Marvel multiverse was genuis. Being able to link all Marvel properties back to the main timeline and have them hop in and out of each others universes feels like a payoff for long time Marvel Movie fans. The cameo's in D&W were chefs kiss, teasing Captain America for it to be Johnny Storm, having them team up with Blade, Electra and Gambit. I let out an audible "Wow, F*ckoff" when I saw Snipes, I never thought they'd get him back!

[@JoshuaKevinPerry]

No, it's the worst move ever made. No stakes exist.

Deadpool: You know what? You're the best Wolverine.

[@Draugo]

I don't get some of the takes of the more "serious" reviewers. Cassandra was at no point depicted as a long time planner but constantly living in the moment using her power and to me her motivation was pretty clearly stated. She stayed in the void because she wanted to but hates being played with. Paradox tried to get her killed and she went "you fuck with me then I'll fuck with you" and decided to take out all the precious timelines from TVA. Basically she took Paradoxes actions to be TVA's actions and decided to basically take their toys. Did it come out of nowhere? Sure, but it was not really against her stated motivations. Superhero movies and comics are always about beating the odds so having both of the MC's survive a situation that would have killed either of them alone by basically multiplying their healing factors together was also wholly in line of the genre. Also I never even once got the sense that Deadpool was on some kind of redemption arc. He wanted to "do something meaningful" because of selfis reasons, never in any of the movies for any higher calling or other noble stuff so the comments about Nicepool were weird (he also did not know about Nicepool missing regeneration powers when he first used him as a shield). The movie has a fair share of plotholes and it's pretty much just for entertainment but to quote Ryan George "there's nothing wrong with that". Some channels try to see problems where there is none just to seem deeper than they need to be.

[@nataliem86]

Agree with everything you said here. This movie was tons of fun and had its emotional moments too. But it was meant to be just a good time. And it was!

[@Subject_Keter]

Some people would argue and dissect the fun out of their properties. If you want to be critial and just "nitpick" about anything you can but there a line of "solid normal things" and complaining to complain.

[@dericjames2018]

This movie felt like a Fox Marvel tribute than a actual MCU film.

[@alimzazaz]

To me, its not a movie for a storytelling junkie that focuses and writing perfection. But for a person that follows the pop culture, industry controversies and politics, and MCU, its a perfect product. A meta mastery.

[@armandoaguilar1623]

When they talk about an anchor being they mean the main character of that "Story/Universe" When Logan died in that universe that was the end of stories in that universe. Thats my guess.

[@PaulMckenna-i1f]

Blade coming back was my favorite moment in the theater

[@RebaDarby]

If it were not for Blade, there would never had been an MCU or a Deadpool movie. Blade was the first commercially successful comic book movie licensed by Marvel Studios, paving the way for the MCU. And Blade was the first R-rated comic book movie ever. This set a precedent that R-rated comic book movies could be successful....opening the door for Deadpool to come crashing through!

[@scionixx9568]

That one scene where wolverine gave cassandra, that speech about charles xavier really hit hard! God jackman is such a great actor

[@daianspahava8279]

Seen it 3 times first movie to ever make me do that and it was well worth it! The effects All were amazing, the music really felt like it made for the scenes, Hugh and Ryan delivered comedy, action and heartfelt scenes with all their heart into it! Seeing the Fox marvel cameos were amazing, blade and Elektra were my favorites as a kid due to those movies; also the fights felt very different and Wolverine moved like an animal, my favorite was the white suited version of Logan who had the eyepatch since I think it’s the white king version of Logan that runs the hellfire club with Emma frost I believe so it was amazing to see

[@AllBreaksLoose]

I thought the film was enjoyable, but had some issues. Which you pointed out pretty good. Where fall Guy was a tribute to stunt people, this one was a tribute to everything a bit too much. But there were some real bad CGI shots and sometimes the music just got in the way. And sometimes RR/DP going on forever with jokes got a bit much. Seeing Jennifer Garner as Elektra again was cool (and I think she's aged quite well in that costume!). Wesley Snipes should be blade in the future. He proved it in this movie.

It's a feast! People who says it ruined logan movie are a joke, we finally have closest comic accurate wolverine played by the best wolverine actor hugh! Thats good enough reason yet the movie pack so much more ❤

[@ShadowPredator31]

Cassandra's decisions made sense to me. She has godlike powers and was raised from infancy in a playground for her powers. Why would she wanna leave? When Wolverine has his speech about wanting to be the man Charles knew he could be, Cassandra was JUST in his mind so she knows how truthful he's being and what Charles could have meant to her. That said she is highly unstable so when she discovers Pyro was sent by Paradox, breaking their deal, deciding "fuck it" and turning the multiverse into a void she can be God of a bigger playground

[@Melvin-Deeply]

Gimmicks. The end of all things creative.

This is such a great backstory-recap for people who didn’t grow up with all the Fox movies-AND a good reminder for those of us who did. RR is obvi Marvel Jesus- NOT RDJ! I hope Deadpool points that out in DP4 in 2029-ish

[@Agallx]

Paradox does say that the universe would continue to exist for potentially thousands of years, but he's just going to destroy it early. Regarding the time inconsistencies, Deadpool 1+2 take place in 'current' times, and Logan takes place in the future, so Deadpool would've likely used Cable's time machine to go to the future in his own timeline to dig up Logan's corpse in the beginning.

[@Dina_tankar_mina_ord]

I doubt this will save Marvel. Remember Spider-Man NWH? Almost two years of slop, one smash hit, then it was right back to garbage. This is no different.

[@kingposeidon7858]

Right, it doesn’t. What will save marvel is a great direction and writers on their A game. No cameo fest or action around every corner. Fiege been sleep walking for a while.

[@kicapanmanis1060]

@@kingposeidon7858 That's cos he has been overstretched by Bob Chapek forcing them to make stuff just for Disney+ while hiring executives above him to decide what work will go where (streaming or cinema). Bob Iger came back and said they were so many projects that quality is not being assured and is scaling things back down.

[@Subject_Keter]

I think if anything, they let too many Z teams muck around and it just a flop ville. Like how Hickmans friends ruined the Xmen Krokan era.

[@BigWillieDillie]

Cassandra explains that she likes the void and had no reason to leave. She isn't motivated until she reads the mind of Pyro and discovers Paradox's plan to kill her which upsets her since she only wanted to be left alone but Paradox didn't like the danger she posed.

My wife does not like superheroe movies. She and I went three times. I think every 3rd day we went. And she repeats lines from it now. She loved the movie.

[@mattyboyb523]

That was brutal to get through. Saying he enjoyed the movie while not picking every step of the way sounds a little ridiculous. I had my issues with a couple of main points of the movie as well but if you’re looking for perfection, comic book movie adaptations and extensions of universe building just aren’t gonna give it to you. Who cares about guessing whether the MCU is back or not, how’s about just enjoying a movie for what it was, entertaining. Over criticism is hurting this business not sub par product

[@koolBOY8323]

i see this as the perfect cap and send off to the various foxverses that were before. it's also a very easy way to cut the mess of the timelines, variants, and time travel shlock back down to one story. it's deadpool kills the marvelverse, in live action.

[@sulanis8444]

You can tell there is a clear strength and speed difference from the fox Wolverine to the "MCU" This version of wolverine threw Deadpool through a concrete wall and pushed and entire group of dead pools by himself. He is also from the start a lot more skilled fighter than the Fox version. Still very good movie. It was a deadpool movie through and through.

[@nerdwatch1017]

One thing I didn’t understand was them still calling the 616 the sacred timeline. I mean wasn’t that in some way set free letting the full multiverse be born again

Another great review

[@madambutterfly1997]

I heard whispers of Henry Cavill was going to join the MCU. I’m skeptical of his addition would save it at this point, but if they were to put him in, they would have to put him in as Sentry. He’s already played Superman and the DCU might as well cast Cavill as marvels superman equivalent.

I watch Deadpool for action, swearing, 4th wall breaks and jokes. I'm never disappointed with Ryan Reynolds Deadpool lol.

[@Ravuun]

Cassandra was fine in the Void until she found out that Paradox broke their agreement by making a deal with Pyro to take her out. She didn't know about the time ripper until she got the info. from Paradox's mind, and that was the trigger that made her decide to use it to destroy everything but the Void. If Paradox hadn't made that deal with Pyro, Cassandra would have been fine to continue her rule of the Void.
