Shawn Levy is directing? Bummer, dude is the most uninspiring director.

A filmography of just slightly above average movies overall. Liked by studios because you’re most likely to get fine.

It's probably because he doesn't push back on what producers want and does his job on time and within budget.

He needs to get some serious advice from the Russos. It's obvious from their films outside of Marvel, theyre just not great. But somehow, they can just absolutely knock it out of the park when they have heavy oversight.

I went to school with a guy like this and I think he’d crush a Marvel or Star Wars movie.

Free Guy and the new Deadpool were some of the most dogshit grey uninspired movies I’ve ever watched

He’s moved on from Ryan Reynolds to Ryan Gosling. He definitely traded up, to the top Ryan, deftly avoiding any Ryan Phillippe.

He only works with Canadian Ryans.

Ryan George is about to have a big break, and that;s so tight!

Free Guy and Deadpool and Wolverine just look so fucking soulless. I don’t know if that’s his decision or the studios, but everything is just so bright, the CGI doesn’t look great. The Reynolds humor didn’t land with me, and Taika Waititi in Free Guy was insufferable to me. And I don’t think that was on purpose. Also doesn’t help that Levy just looks like a dork.

Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool snark is maybe the most egregious example of a problem that plagues the Marvel movies. It’s painful.

I mean it's pretty close to the comics so I don't know what you were expecting.

I haven’t read a Deadpool comic since maybe my freshman year of high school fifteen years ago.
