Amph Deadpool, the (Golden Globe-nominated) Movies!

Makes sense, thanks @The2ndQuest
I definitely need to watch again

I think he'd commute or unilaterally bring his F-word to 616 if he got the job. Later he would tell Mr Paradox he used the device to save a few people then destroyed it

Logan died in 2029. Yes, he's alive in 2024, but the future is still set in stone. Wade cannot simply go to the mansion and have Charles verify that he is telling the truth about what will happen in the next three to four years. Nor will changing it fix things. Peanut will just keep to himself until 2028. But we won't see that part.

Russell and the New Mutants team are the only young Mutants we see, that are running around. In fact, it's unclear when the latter film takes place. It could be 2013 for them. Russell might be similar to Laura.

 

It's simple: Deadpool and Wolverine is set after Logan because the first movie came out after the second.

 

Wibbly wobbly timey wimey.

 

I kind of like that they don't try to make sense of the FoX-Men timeline. Like, at all.

 

I’ve said this elsewhere: outside of mcu proper, most other franchises value artistic license on a project-by-project basis over consistent lore: Star Wars, DCEU, Zelda, terminator, mad max, X-men, and so on.

Even the mcu has a few continuity “cracks.”

 

To be fair, Kitty was already screwing with the timeline every time the Sentinels found them and then Logan changed it further. Wade and Cable just added to it. We also don't know when the Deadpool corps were pruned, much the others. Some of them might have been during season 2, when the TVA was trying to get rid of the branches.

 

Alright, so we watched Deadpool & Wolverine. And it had a lot of funny scenes and a lot of good jokes and well choreographed fights and the acting was good. But.....overall it was just an okay movie. I feel like this movie was too impressed with itself for having Wolverine in it. And because of that it forgot about having plot completely in order to throw Deadpool and Wolverine against each other again and again. And it's funny because I really, really think Deadpool 2 is great. But when I compare this one to 2? This one falls flat. The second act really dragged too long and the third act was completely unserious as part of a three-act-story. The only real good solid part of the story was act 1.

Spoiler

The two villains of this one are just...bad. Paradox gets almost no screentime and they really just didn't know how to make crazy villains compelling, which is why Cassandra Nova feels like she's just being random by the end of it. And why did this movie have to keep having Deadpool and Wolverine fight each other several times? Like, the first time they fought each other, that was fine. It's not 2012 any more, but it's fine. But the second and third? Especially the scene where Logan completely deconstructed all of Wade's faults. And that scene is followed by.....them fighting again. Because I guess Deadpool can't have any real character development. Instead, they have to rely on more tropes. And that's what's really funny about the whole thing. They spent half the movie taking a dump on Fox, but at least Fox made two really good Deadpool movies that had real heart and character development and coherent plots while Disney does what Disney does best: forgo story for tropes.

And last thing, what my wife said here: Deadpool works when his presence is the silliest part of the scene. When he's the one not fitting into the scene. When you have thousands of deadpools running around? I'm sorry, but that was comically stupid.

At least the choreography of that fight was good, I'll say that. Between the choreography here and in the Acolyte, hire those people for the next MCU and Star Wars fight scenes.

 

I'd say Cassandra Nova is the best villain of all 3 Deadpool movies. That's not to disparage the previous ones. Ajax is great for Deadpool as he's the biggest toolbag for Wade to go after. Cable is sort of the villain for half the movie, but the Essex Home masters and Juggernaut as a 3rd act surprise baddie are ultimately the main guys. Nova is just a hugely twisted and seemingly insurmountable foe, it's reaching into someone way out of Wade's power levels and general low level goons he goes against and making them the villain. Also she's just a freak on multiple levels. "What is wrong with you lady?" "I wish I knew!"

 

I didn't like how many there were. It caused the movie to drag.

 

Yeah I get the deeper meaning which will come from multiple views, but I was hoping for more

Spoiler

fighting together and less fighting each other. The third act of them fighting all the Deadpool variants for them to just regen and then get distracted by Peter was definitely all flash that added nothing to the overall plot.

 

There's a shot when Cassandra Nova emerges from the Wizard Portal when she looked almost exactly like something out of Frank Quitely art from New X-Men, something about the way her arms were bent, and it was so freaking boss. Also the vfx when she skull!$@#! somebody is amazing. "And where the hell is the Intimacy Coordinator?!!"

 

Not to mention that

Spoiler

if you hit someone like Wade did to Logan, you best believe that an ass whupping is gonna happen.

Frank Quietly is a fantastic artist.

 

See what I mean when she looks like Frank Quitely art? (If younger but she said she had been in the Void since before she could walk)

 

I was wondering throughout the film: those aren’t her real fingertips right?
