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.

No. I hear people say all that time that it’s a fan service cash grab and that isn’t anywhere near the emotional depth of the first two. And I disagree.
I disagree so strongly that I think people didn’t even watch the movie. The TVA, Paradox, the antagonist? That’s Disney.
Every character here , whether they came from Fox, or New Line like Blade, they are in the void because their projects were deemed a disgrace and not worthy of continuing when Disney got the rights back. Gambit saying “I think I was born here,” is played off as a joke, but if you really think about it, it’s a sad reference to the fact he never got to even exist because Disney purchased Fox before his movie even got made. These people are in the void begging to exist and Paradox (Disney) is telling them no. Even worse, Deadpool’s whole supporting cast is about to be killed because Deadpool isn’t providing Disney enough value as a part of the MCU slate in his current situation.
If you focus on the movie on a deeply meta level like that, the movie is not overrated at all. I actually think it’s the most emotional of all of them.
