What does an audience want from a long-anticipated Deadpool and Wolverine team up? Director Shawn Levy and star Ryan Reynolds know. So much so that Deadpool literally says it during the one of many signature fourth wall breaks. To the unspoiled, many surprises abound in the form of callbacks and cameos. The entire film screams fan service and not only makes no effort to hide it, it throws it in your face! Yes, by this third film the novelty has worn a little thin, and Marvel killed the vibe with the She Hulk series. The main protagonist is forgettable, and actually it’s unforgivable that a certain brainiac X-Man didn’t show up to provide a redemption arc for the baddie. Also disappointing was the lack of onscreen reveal of Reynolds’s wife Blake Lively as Lady Deadpool, and his daughter Inez as “Kidpool” respectively. Lively confirmed it. Also a mild letdown for the Swifties out there. All nitpicking aside, Deadpool and Wolverine is a fun, if not stellar, introduction of our heroes to the MCU. Gory and foul mouthed, it’s amazing this film even exists under the Disney umbrella.
