Deadpool & Wolverine
The critics panned it for being exactly what Deadpool has always been - a self promoting send up full of crude inside jokes. In this version, we get more of the same, with a different plot line. Deadpool's timeline is going to deteriorate since Logan died. Deadpool jumps the multiverse in search of a Logan he can bring back to his timeline to save it. No discussion about what it will do to the timeline for the stolen Logan, but this is just another example of the egocentric nature of the movie. Don't get me wrong, this is a great example of one liners and self promotion (both for Reynolds and Jackman and for Marvel) and while it is exactly inline with the franchise, it is no longer fresh (like the original in 2016 was). If Marvel were only producing Deadpool clones, then it would get old very fast. But as an alternate saturday afternoon entertainment where no MCU timeline consistency is required, nice job.
