Deadpool & Wolverine *Spoilers*

Post by McAvoy »

I saw it on Thursday night this week with my cousin. Had to, social media is spiling the hell out of the movie now.

Its exactly what you think it is and pretty much all of the rumors are true. Cavill as Wolverine. Comic book accurate height Wolverine. Brown costume Wolverine. And of course the Mask itself.

The you got Snipes Blade, heavily rumored Gambit with some meta humor. Electra. X-men 3 Juggernaught. And I go on and on about it.

Overall the movie is good. Great action pieces. The cameos and obvious fan service doesn't stick around too long or dwell on it. The opening sequence does a number on the movie Logan.

This new Wolverine I may have missed it, but I couldn't get a grasp on what he did wrong to be hated and hate himself. Yeah I know he got his team killed.

The villian is Professor X's twin sister who was removed upon birth or something by the TVA. She has extreme telekinetic abilities and touch-telepathic. She can heal with his abilities. Honestly a versus battle between her and Magneto, she might win. Easily Omega level. Though I do have to wonder why is she bald.

Word of mouth is going to help this movie big time. Right now last time I checked, it's at $630 million worldwide. Projected to make another $90 domestic this weekend too.
I got nothing to say here.

Definitely will happen. Latest project has the movie making by end of the weekend well over $800 million. Like I said, this movie definitely has legs.

So I like Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and that's true for this movie as it was for the first two. It was everything around him that was the issue. I did not find the humor funny, breaking up a happy ending of a previous movie for a sequel is always something I dislike and the Time Variance Authority and the plotline they introduced made me wince at the stupidity of it. I like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine too but everything I disliked about the movie combined to make sure I didn't get to him.

Rumor has it that the original idea was Deadpool was arrested by the TVA for messing around with Cable's time machine. He hears that the TVA is trying to create a team of anchor beings or whatever they are called to combat the Kangs. Deadpool escapes and it's a bit vague after that. Apparently once he and Wolverine gets stranded in the Void place, is where it remains the same.

I agree Deadpool trying to find a new Wolverine to act like the anchor being for his own universe, is pretty soft plot wise. Doesn't address how this whole process works. Like just finding one, would automatically make that Wolverine replace the other? Was that Wolverine an anchor being for the one he was kidnapped out of?

The way they talk, is suggest that destroying the time shreader is what did it, and all bringing Logan is is give them a living wolverine.

Yes I saw the ending. I got it.

Just everything leading up to it was just vague. But then again Deadpool doing things randomly and off the cuff is on par for him. So there is that.
