A mixed bag for me. The only X-Men movie I’ve seen is Logan, so I didn’t have the nostalgic element compared to other audience members. This definitely made scenes that other people found emotional do nothing for me. The characters that were brought back were underutilised in my opinion; a similar concept was done better in No Way Home. My problem is with the MCU is that I’m so tired of the multi-verse. They’ve written themselves into a corner with it that almost every single MCU multi-verse story is the same plot. Deadpool & Wolverine tries to rip the piss out of Disney’s MCU and the multi-verse and pokes fun at how shit it’s become, but it’s contradictory because it’s still giving us the content which makes it shit. Being self-aware about it is funny, but humour alone isn’t enough to make a superhero film stand out and I’m just sick of seeing it. I want there to be real stakes and character’s deaths to mean something. I’m also not entirely sure that Deadpool as a character works in this universe. Because of his whole meta, self-aware, and breaking the fourth wall shtick, it feels strange him being in this world and being the only character who is aware that it’s a film with audience members. I think he worked better as his own separate thing. However, it’s not all bad - most of this if fun, and I laughed way more than I expected to. Although some of the gags got tedious or cringey, around 80% of them landed for me so that’s a success. I chuckled at the Paramore reference (also Janet Jackson but Hayley Williams owns it better!) Hugh Jackman was the highlight; his performance as Wolverine was emotional and powerful.
