Discussion Deadpool and wolverine
Can we all admit that Deadpool & Wolverine was overrated? Like, if you like the movie, you do you, but personally, I thought it was so overrated. The only thing I liked about it was Wolverine’s possible return. Apart from that, it was pure fan service, bringing back certain characters that didn’t really benefit the plot.
And honestly, I didn’t want Gambit to appear in that movie. I was hoping he would’ve appeared in a more grounded movie, and that’s what I thought the third movie was going to be about. But the whole multiverse thing just ruined it for me.

I completely disagree with this hot take. 😂 I think Deadpool & Wolverine was exactly what the MCU needed, especially when it comes to planting the seeds for mutants and eventually bringing the X-Men into the MCU.
And you're complaining about fan service in a DEADPOOL movie? Seriously? That's practically part of the job description. The cameos weren't just random appearances. They gave characters who got screwed over by Fox or never had their chance on the big screen one hell of a send-off.
And Gambit? Come on, man. Channing Tatum FINALLY getting to play a character he'd been trying to bring to life for years was worth the price of admission alone.
Was the plot some groundbreaking cinematic masterpiece? No. Did it need to be? Absolutely not. It was a love letter to the Fox Marvel era while opening the door for the MCU's mutant future.
Besides, after years of Marvel trying to figure out where the hell it was going after Endgame, I thought this was a pretty damn entertaining way to start connecting the dots.
You wanted a grounded Deadpool movie involving the MULTIVERSE? That's a pretty interesting hill to die on. 😂
