Yeah, it's essentially a buddy/cop movie with fitting tributes to the Marvel Fox era.
Deadpool and Wolverine Reactions — If you weren’t hyped before!! — No spoilers
- Thread starter bitbydeath
- Start date
I see it more as a tribute and send off for that era before Marvel introduces their own versions of those characters. F4 starts filming on Monday and the cast may be at SDCC on Saturday.

Going to put this in spoilers, warning for those who haven't seen it.
You were warned.
I'm not sure how much of a complete send off it was, at least for Deadpool and Wolverine, as the TVA lady (forgot her name) said they might be asked to help out again in future.
Well this isn't a spoiler because it's not longer in the movie so
The original story was the two of them putting together an army of heroes from the Void to help fight the Kangs. When Jonathan Majors got convicted they did reshoots (which used the strikes as an excuse) to change it to the smaller scale it is now.
That line you refer to obviously means
we'll see them in Secret Wars.

Something I didn't understand at the beginning of the movie and I can't see anyone talking about it:
Did anyone understand the scene?
The scene with Deadpool and Happy where Deadpool is trying to join the avengers. Why was this set in 616, the sacred timeline? It later joins to the timeline we know Deadpool from and he later mentions wanting to be an avenger, but we never see the other Deadpool again, my question is why show events from that timeline?
Did anyone understand the scene?

They're the same Deadpool. He jumps over to the 616 Universe to try and join the Avengers using Cable's machine and when that doesn't go well, he comes back to his home dimension and works as a car salesmen

Watched it last night
Story is completely non-existent, the ending is one of the worst I've seen in a marvel film
The cameos are nice, but I came out of the cinema not exactly feeling satisfied with what I watched

I'm not familiar with the comics but if characters could be replaced with multiverse versions that are 99.9% the same I can see it lowering my enjoyment of those stories too. IIRC In EEAAO characters don't physically meet each other and never undo anything in other universes.
And comics can have bad writing too btw.
The YT is mainly talking about characters being replaced or catastrophic events being undone with the multiverse wand, i.e. in a lazy/cheap way. It may not have happened in the MCU yet but with the current stock of MCU writers I'm very skeptical it never will.
Multiverse of Madness is such a mess story telling wise it raises concerns of future multiverse MCU movies IMO.
Resurrection and multiverse replacement are not the same thing. The multiverse opens new story possibilities for sure but in the hands of bad writers it can easily cheapen death and lower the stakes. If they pull the same trick too much, I can see it becoming harder to invest in characters if the multiverse wand can undo problems.

Got home from the theater a bit ago, this is basically the only movie I'd been wanting to see for the past couple years I guess. I'm not really a big Deadpool guy (the two other films were fun to watch) and I could easily have passed on this, but seeing Hugh get Wolvie'd up for one more time - esp. in a very different type of film - I knew it would be a good time.
And it was! Movie was not without it's problems, and in general as I take some time to marinate on these things, the magic kind of fades away, this is no different. Anyway it was a blast watching this Wolverine one more time (???) and the writing was good (pacing, dialogue, banter etc) for what it was. The actual storyline was really, REALLY thin, you could tell they really didn't sweat it too much but it was a fine enough scenario for what it was. I could get into my issues with all of that in a more spoiler-friendly thread I guess, so I will leave it at that. Jokes were pretty much as expected, but I was satisfied with them and they got a few laughs out of me (not too easy to do). Overall I am PLEASED I saw this right out of the gate because the spoilers are gonna be coming quick and furiously in the next week I am sure, and I would have enjoyed this movie significantly less if I knew what it was actually going to be. A pretty good film for nerds, maybe 6.5/10, 7 if I am being generous.

I had a friend who watched it and told me that the plot is pretty much zero, so I went in expecting that. tbh I don't really care about it anyway since that's not my reason for watching Deadpool. I thoroughly enjoyed all the bantering and the comedy. and even thou I knew a few of the cameos, some still surprised me. hell, even the ones I did know surprised me a little when some of them pop up. as long as you're not there expecting some great story and just there to enjoy a love letter to all the older FOX Marvel stuff, I'd say you'll have a GREAT time.

So, I went to see this since I have a slow day today. I got about an hour or so in to the point that Deadpool and Wolverine are having their initial introduction/disagreement fight (not a spoiler, I think, as it's in the trailer).
Then the power went out. Not just the theater, but the entire grid in that area. I waited around about ten minutes, then just got a voucher and I'll go finish it up later this week.
What I have seen so far, I have enjoyed quite a bit. The humor may run out for me in the last 60% of the movie, but so far, it's pretty fun. Yeah, the main plot is an excuse, but it's kind of acknowledged how weak it is and they lean into it.
Funny enough, this exact same thing happened to me in Thor: Love and Thunder. Right at the scene where Jane shows up for her first fight as female Thor. I had no desire at all to go back to the theater to finish it up. Glad I didn't on that one.

Nice movie, far better than DP2. The only letdown is the ending. The Best scene is when they jump from the back of the bus window...it captures the feel of the Old comics.
There is no plot it's basically two guys doing random stuff but also this helps te movie to be fun. The Journey is more important than the end and that saves the movie.

The Josh brolin one is good as well.
Hell, they are almost all good. Such a gem of a show.
So the whole tva dimension bomb thing was added in later. There never a mass Deadpool battle?
It seems ludicrous to rejigger your entire film just over 1 actor who could be recast in an instant.
And the concept of an "educated wish" is a great one.
Apparently what was changed was that instead of going their separate ways at the end DP/Wolverine were asked by the TVA to recruit more heroes from dying universes to fight the Kangs.

6/10 movie at best. No story, 2/3 of the movie is not taking itself seriously. I mean, not taking itself too serious can be fun sometimes, but this movie takes it to the extreme. The neverending breaking the 4th wall talk makes you not care about anything that happens in the first 65 percent of the movie AT ALL. There is no story. The last 35 percent of the the movie are better, but not great.

So, my 13 year old is asking me to take him to see this. R rated films are kind of a broad spectrum so I was wondering if any parents felt it would be too much for a young teen. I haven't seen the first 2 movies but I know what Deadpool is all about from reading the comics as a kid.
Just be prepared to explain what pegging is.
Nothing in it should surprise a 13yo with access to the internet. If anything, you will have to explain who all the old ass characters are. Disney knows this is gonna be shown to kids so they kept all the tits and dicks away from puritan american parents. So it's 'just' language and violence, with a bit of suggestive sex jokes. Lots of 'motherfucker' but no mother fucking, if you catch my drift.

Lmao does someone actually get pegged in the movie? Or they just talk about it?
Ah, ok. That sounds fine.
It's actually the most tame Deadpool movie imo. Wolverine is awesome and your kid will love it.
Edit: and no, no one actually gets pegged in movie. It's just a verbal joke. Well, I think DP stabs a guy in the ass one time, if that counts.

These are my thoughts on the movie as well. The only difference for me is that by the last 35% of the movie, I just didn't care anymore.
Still fun. 6/10
