Deadpool & Wolverine (Shawn Levy, July 26, 2024) Movie • Page 28

To be fair, Tatum’s Gambit was supposed to get made like a decade ago. I think Tatum and Gambit likely would have looked pretty different.

 

One of my favorite parts about this movie was the willingness to go all out with comic costumes. No attempts to modernize Gambit or Age of Apocalypse Wolverine or the standard Wolverine costume. It’s fun to see those things come to life.

 

Opening and closing acts were absolute fire. I had a big smile on my face. My theater had the best time the entire movie, this was fun.

Favorite joke was welcome to the MCU, you joined at a bit of a low point

Least favorite was the woke mob won’t like that, it fell flat and no one laughed.

Outside of Cavill I didn’t care for any cameo. They felt a bit cheap. Would’ve preferred more time with Deadpool and Wolverine which is plenty of goodness already. If Affleck’s Daredevil had showed up though I would’ve been dying.

 

I’m sure everything about Gambit, from the costume to the hair to the voice, was all part of the joke.

 

Just remembered the scene with Happy. Man, that was so bad too. They need to let some of the jokes and emotional beats breathe.

 

This was pretty much full on fan service but I really liked it for that. Thought we’d see crazier cameos but it was cool seeing the Fox Marvel characters coming back for one last movie.
Definitely felt like a one off, standalone movie but maybe that’s what it always needed to be.

 

Why would Wolverine sacrifice himself at the end if the whole point was that universe needed a Wolverine

 

I think at that point they were just focusing on stopping Cassandra from destroying the multiverse or something

 

It's those steaks people keep talking about. Me, I appreciate a good hambone.

 

I mean, do we know that swapping in another Wolverine would change anything? Or was Deadpool just hoping it would work?

 

It seems to have worked, but I remember mr paradox saying he wanted to speed it up and it usually took thousands of years for a timeline to collapse after an anchor is killed. So who knows?

 

Wouldn't it be cool if Paradox being rogue led to the formation of a splinter group of the TVA that's totally cool with destroying timelines, and they became the MCU version of the Beyond Corporation?

 

Like many people in our screening, I thought Lady Deadpool was Taylor Swift. Turns out I was wrong. The blonde ponytail makes more sense for Swift than Blake Lively!

 

I guess I don’t recall what the woman from Loki said about why it was healing.

 

I pretty much zoned out once they escaped from the Void, so I have no idea what the Cassandra was wanting to do but we did get to see Huge Jackedman shirtless.

Gave me a push to go to the gym.

 

Love that Macfadyen was just playing Tom

 

That honestly hit me in the feels a little bit, been watching those movies for most of my life and this movie really was like one long goodbye to that so it was nice yet bittersweet to have one last look at it before they fully reboot and integrate those properties into the MCU.

 

Already passed the 100 million mark in one day, damn

 

One had a role with quite a bit of dialogue, played a part in advancing the underlying meta theme of the film, and was a large part of one of the biggest action sequences in the film, while the other appeared in an ugly CGI scene for about the amount of time necessary to generate some applause from the audience.

 

Fair enough

 

Haha I mean Blake has blonde hair often and it sounded just like her. Never had an indication it was Taylor swift. Also how does Taylor swift make more sense than his super famous actress wife?

 

Taylor Swift couldn't be Lady Deadpool anyway, she's gonna be Dazzler.

 

She’s gonna be too busy as the Blonde Phantom

 

While I don’t believe this was said, my head canon was that Deadpool by being willing to sacrifice himself for the good of the universe and his world became the new anchor being of that worlds timeline more so than he just replaced Wolverine.

 

I liked it it was funny it was guys being dudes
