Is the MCU back from the dead? - Deadpool Wolverine Review

[@quirkyvfxx]

Little known fun fact: Wolverine’s costume was originally created with the brown color instead of blue, however it wouldn’t have stood out as much with many of their set backgrounds. They realized it would be too expensive and time consuming to create an entire new suit so the idea was to scrape off all of the brown layer and replace it with the blue color... This resulted in the movie being given the working title Blue Harvest. Coincidentally, that was also the working title for Star Wars Episode 6 Return of the Jedi

[@nicholaszeitner2134]

There it is

[@peterman2625]

I think you'll find that "Blue Harvest" was the working title for Star Wars: The Original Star Wars.

[@groo_soob]

they are never really mates

[@GroundhogJay]

I definitely think it was like a loving homage. They may not have all filmed together and, yes, the plot is rather thin, but I think all the cameos play into the themes of D&W -- about wanting to matter and getting a proper ending. And I think, in that regard, each of the cameos got badass moments and a chance to shine without being a joke. Nobody sets out to be a bad or forgettable version of a hero, so to see the outcasts get to be world saving heroes was inspiring to me.

[@iout]

Yeah, I agree. If they were being disrespectful, I'd expect them to pull an X-Force and kill them all off as a joke. But their whole bit about wanting endings felt sincere and not only did they get to actually be cool without being mocked, they didn't even die. Sure their fight scene could have had better cinematography, but that doesn't mean the effort wasn't there. The entire movie was fanservice in the best possible way. They knew this was the last hurrah for so many of these characters and everything was built around that. It's why I can forgive the simple plot and how nonsensical the concept of an anchor being is, because that was clearly never the point. The point was a celebration of these characters and their decades of history.

[@LSOP-]

They all got on the bus in homage old boy. They knew their parts.

[@romxxii]

@@iout even when the one big actor is killed off, it's not dismissively or as a joke to him, but because "he was killing the budget." And honestly, most of the fight scenes were great. If they're complaining about the big fight scene at the compoundm some of the actors were of an advanced age and you'd have to shoot around them to make the fight look convincing -- or probably other extenuating circumstances.

[@oweeenie1754]

My fav part was when Wolverine simply refers to Deadpool as “mouth” 😂

[@Sispants]

It’s fitting. Deadpool achieved the highest bar of breaking the 4th wall for me when I genuinely got annoyed with him on the same level as Wolverine in the first half of the movie bc he never shuts the hell up The amount of 4th wall breaking and DP always having something to say in this movie was too much imo. Got to the point where he started to detract from stuff that was already funny because he had to comment on it to make sure we knew it was supposed to be funny His humor and character hasn’t evolved or matured, which you generally like to see at least some of by the time you get to a third movie

Today I realized the plot was actually incredibly similar to Antman 3.

difference is quantum realm looked ugly, kang sucks as a character and the San Fran small scale family story is what worked well in the first 2 ant man movies that made it unique from the rest of the mcu cos deadpool is more of a meta 4th wall breaking character could have fun with its multiverse premise, plus it looks like it was made with passion

"The MCU is Back", and "The MCU is Dead" are among some of the dullest conversations you can have. It happens after every project now; people have goldfish memories. Some things are good (Loki, Guardians 3, Shang-Chi, No Way Home, etc), and some are bad (Secret Invasion, Love and Thunder, Quantumania, etc). It's almost like every other film/tv/book franchise that has ever existed. People are now retroactively acting like they loved every Phase 1 and 2 project, which just wasn't the case at the time. You experiment, see what sticks, what doesn't, to then build to the event film stretch. This has all happened before, the only difference is the AMOUNT of stuff.

Well you named like 1 good thing and then like 3 lies. Stopped reading this propaganda there.

[@SineN0mine3]

The idea that there's ever going to be an end to marvel movies probably makes the young people feel as though they're more relevant. As somebody who is approaching their mid thirties I can't imagine there's going to be an end to them ever. They're money printers, it doesn't matter how badly every other movie does when the franchise consistently brings in billions in merchandise. Having the backing of Disney means that the money is never going to run out. I promise one day you'll get a movie and TV series for all of the most niche and forgotten heroes from Marvel, and they'll probably all lose money on the box office and make it back on merchandise. On the otherhand, I remember when the Avengers movies were basically the only thing anyone could talk about and I think it's because a lot of people wrongly assumed they were going to stop when they finished that story.

[@conormurphy4328]

Loki sneak

[@karonuva]

The issue is also the previous phases had a coherent throughline even if the movies were all across the spectrum of quality. Lately it's just the worst of the worst corporate cringe just trying to see what sticks. There's been some decent stuff but the issue is there's no real connection. I don't think there's necessarily an issue with standalone stories but they just feel entirely disconnected and if they flop they just pretend like it never happened at all.

The takeaway from this movie appears to be that established characters played by established actors can beat any form of franchise-fatigue, and that appealing to what you know people want beats trying to be "clever". Deadpool & Wolverine was made to do two things - a final goodbye to the Fox-Era of Marvel-Movies, and to first and foremost serve as a crowdpleaser.

Having Deadpool abduct Hugh Jackman and make him do Wolverine stuff would also be very similar to the Bruce Campbell movie My Name Is Bruce.

[@TheHufflepuffSaint]

The main problem is that the MCU is in a predicament, it needs to plan its next move accordingly without stepping into desperation; Bringing back RDJ as Doom shows that its not going well on the desperation front. Because Deadpool and Wolverine has had so much hype and I've heard nothing but praise online... I can't judge as i've not seen it; mostly because I'll probably wait until the movie comes out on DVD/Blu Ray/Digital. But it reminds me of Spider-Man No Way Home, I know its Sony but the MCU needs to plan its next film accordingly because first we had No Way Home from Sony which was massive with the return of Andrew and Tobey and then Morbius came and jokes aside for that film, it was critically panned. So The MCU has gotta make sure that the next movie is almost as on par with D&W if it wants to make a comeback.

[@whodatboi2567]

Could you explain how bringing RDJ back is desperation when he's playing a different character?

[@thedarkemissary]

So bringing back an actor to play an evil variant of a hero as the crux of a storyline in which the entire point is to have an evil variant of a hero is "stepping into desperation." But, you praise this movie for bringing back an actor to play a variant of a hero in a farewell to the legacy of the era of those heroes? Make it make sense bro. You just literally made two opposing points.

[@TheHufflepuffSaint]

​@@thedarkemissaryHow am I praising D&W when I've not even watched it. I'm only going off other people's opinions considering how much they've hyped it. If anything, the film doesn't seem to have anything to do with the MCU, just a love letter to the Fox Era of Marvel Movies like No Way Home was a lovely letter to the Sony Era of Spiderman Movies. And I get the feeling that you are referencing when Iron Man became Doctor Doom in the comics by saying "Evil Variant"; but they've literally said RDJ is playing Victor Von Doom which doesn't make sense. If they are gonna pluck a Doctor Doom variant from the Multiverse, might as well use Julian Mcmahon as he's an established Doctor Doom/Victor Von Doom. Bringing back RDJ is probably because Marvel thinks the fans want him back but overall it cheapens the impact of Endgame. We've all said that RDJ is Iron Man and Iron Man died in Endgame. But now, RDJ is apparently Von Doom now too.

[@midago7332]

Any good actor can play another character. That said in the comics Stark has become a version of Doom, iron maniac and even a freaky Friday type body swap. Different mask Same task RDJ said

[@planet7085]

The idea of an anchor being is truly absurd, especially for the TVA who exist outside of time. Wolverine's death is written into history so the idea that he "died" and therefore that timeline will slowly deteriorate should mean that that reality should have begun to deteriorate the moment it came into being (since the entire timeline is already written, no?) Especially since Logan died in the future from Deadpool's perspective, so he isnt even "dead" yet for Deadpool, which means that his death is DEFINITELY written into history, which means that its known that he will die from the beginning of time. Also all universes feature mortal beings so the idea that theres just a random being who is the anchor being means that any time a reality will just begin to disintegrate because one individual died. Marvel truly doesnt understand anything about the consequences of their multiversal stories.

[@KonguZya]

From an MCU perspective? Yes it's very stupid but for deadpool it's quite par for the course because it serves as an in universe manifestation of a meta concept which is the fact that wolverine as a character is what held up the entirety of the marvel fox franchise. Rather than making sense from a physics perspective it makes sense from a meta perspective which is what deadpool is all about. The theme of the movie is how characters from dead franchises are simply discarded or put in a box where they arent sure what to do with them and wolverine's death as a character signifies the dying of fox marvel's franchiae. You see this all the time in deadpool media. For example in deadpool killustrated him killing archetypal heroes like moby dick and don quixote erased the heroes inspired by them from continuity. Ultimately, yes it's stupid but it's a deadpool thing that is quite clever in the context of deadpool things.

And Emma Corrin really didn't get enough to do as the main villain, she was great in the scenes she had. I also hate that they sidelined the other Deadpool regulars to focus on the Wolverine/Deadpool relationship, even though I understand that's a main part of the movie.

The only part that really gave me a sense of "closure" for the Fox-verse was that sidebar behind-the-scenes montage during the end credits.

My poor friend who only watched some of the movies was utterly bewildered. I was sad that we saw absolutely none of the Fox-verse X-Men in the film. The best thing about it were the characterizations. I think the actors did a pretty good job, but the movie itself was being meta about meta-commentary. You've got to be deep in the fandom to make sense of it. The inclusion of Tatum Channing as Gambit is an example.
