Deadpool & Wolverine (Shawn Levy, July 26, 2024) Movie • Page 38

I get bummed when Marvel films or shows start strong and creative and weird or transgressive but then hit a point where you can tell they just switch into coasting, auto-pilot and, through experience, you correctly guess the next lengthy stretch is going to be in one general CGI location or be a cavalcade of gimmicks that aren’t really given room to breathe the way the first part of the movie/series has and anything weird will get ignored or sanded down or not followed through on. It’s a bummer because you already know the ending will be a boring CGI fight that isn’t funny or interesting and is soullessly epic. I guess what I’m saying is why don’t they make the entire plane out of the same material as the black box?!!

 

Because then it will collapse under the weight of their ambition.

 

Pretty much my feelings on both WandaVision and F&WS.

 

I did like the end credits felt like a Viking funeral for the 25 years of Fox Marvel movies.

 

This made me laugh a lot and brought me a ton of joy

 

Seeing baby Dafne Keen checked the “Any Video or Image That Suggest the Passage of Time for a Young Kid” box in my brain and the dad tears tried to break through.

 

Yess on the Wolverine/Sabertooth fight. It was so lame.

 

Wasn’t there already a Wolverine vs Sabbretooth fight in a movie relatively recently?

 

Only the movie in my dreams.

 

I mean when they teased the Sabertooth fight in the trailer I remember tons of comments saying "it is going to be over in 2 seconds". I thought it was pretty obvious they were going to do that lol

 

To be fair, it's not like they were even acquainted in this timeline, so the magic wouldn't have been there. But I live for the day this gets adapted.

 

I kinda of wish instead of the "which Punisher was it? There has been like 5" joke they would have just cast Thomas Jane lol

 

In retrospect of this film making like a billion dollars, they could have probably cast so many more people, but who could have possibly known?

 

Maybe it's just the Star Trek fan in me but that climax felt a little bit like a direct reference to the Spock dying scene at the end of Wrath of Khan.

 

Deadpool actually literally said "Or I'm Spock" in that scene and did the hand thing.

 

Ok I missed that line, but I definitely caught the reference

 

Watched Deadpool 1 again the other day and I forgot there’s actual nudity in it. Love how stabbing people in the brain with an adamantium bone was doable in a Disney movie but showing some titties feels like it’d be a step too far for the Mouse company.

 

Puritan brainrot

 

Everyone knows if we could just see titties all the time we wouldn’t be violent.. they don’t want that

 

Let's pretend the next five pages or so were filled with wild discourse about the fall of indie filmmaking, the disease of corporate blockbusters, and whether it's okay to just enjoy films or if doing so is complicit in the demise of cinema as an artform, and let's move on.

 

He’s angling for a meta cameo in Deadpool and Wolverine 2.

 

Man Hugh looks so fucking good but the sleeveless suit needed the shoulder pads SO bad
