    TonusOH - “Some kind of samurai version?”

    Ha! “Roninpool”…

    …probably Blake’s idea of making him even prettier.

    Looks like the Agent Mobius rumour didn’t pan out. Kinda disappointed, but unsurprised after the character retired at the end of “Loki” S2.

    “Deadpool and his Amazing Friends” would have been a good title.

    ”Deadpool The Third”

    ”Deadpool, Deadpool, Deadpool!” (y’know, to summon him)

    Or just “Deadpools”. That’d be meta AF.

    “Wade Wilson: Agent of SHIELD The TVA POOL.

    “Deadpool: F**k the Disney Censors”

    The last two were meant as fun future sequel titles.

    Here’s another:

    “Deadpool, She-Hulk, and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad, Fourth-Wall Multiversal Incursion”

    Okay, despite (or maybe because of) the veritable tsunami of marketing for this thing over the past 4-ish months, I haven’t updated this thread…

    …until today, after seeing this:

    …and realizing that this movie isn’t just lampooning the old Fox Marvel era…

    … it’s a goddamn love letter to it.

    Went to see it with one of my (grown-up) daughters last night.

    One of the funniest - and surprisingly satisfying - things I’ve seen so far this year.

    And it’s absolutely a love-letter to all the old Fox-Marvel movies (and more 😉).

    Five well-earned stars.

    So, has it saved the MCU? 🤔

    Nope.

    The “Sacred Timeline”… i.e. Earth-616 (or 19999, depending on who you ask) is only seen once and barely mentioned after.

    Almost all the action takes place in the TVA, the Void, and Earth-10005 (a.k.a. the XCU), which Wade and Logan’s actions basically save from extinction…

    …essentially confirming it’s continued existence in parallel to the MCU.

    Seriously.

    The new prevailing theory on the Net (based on the events in this movie and things Kevin Feige has said) is that a significant multiversal incursion between the MCU and the XCU is what Avengers: Secret Wars will be focused around.

    Oh, wait…

    …were you asking if the D&W movie’s success is saving Marvel Studios?

    If so, then yes.

    Yes, it has.

    🤪

    I suppose it could save the MCU, if it convinced the powers-that-be to lighten up and have fun.

    But that probably won't happen.

    I saw it on Saturday. Very funny and enjoyable movie. Any of the usual criticisms are really not applicable to a film that is made so whimsically. It's the kind of film you just sit back and enjoy. I'm wondering if a fourth film will be green-lit, and if Reynolds will want to make one. The first film had a story and structure, but they get less coherent over time. The nature of the franchise makes this less of an issue, but I wonder if Reynolds will want to make the same movie over and over.

    But I'll watch it a few more times, at least.
