A series of recent releases from Marvel StudiosAvengers: Endgame Movie fans are divided over whether the superhero genre has gone too far. With the upcoming release Deadpool and WolverineThe star power of the team-up between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman has long fueled excitement for the Marvel Cinematic Universe further than recent films, but can Marvel’s Jesus (as Deadpool calls himself) What about the rescue superhero genre?
This meta-joke is not meant to be serious because, in fact, storytelling about heroic archetypes is historically cyclical. Of course, this rhetoric was met with outrage because the end of Phase 4 saw so many movies come out at once, with mixed results. Black Widow, The Eternals, Shang-Chi, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever— an onslaught of stunning highs but also some exhausting lows. Due to discussions online, the movie span between 2021 and 2022 may still have a lingering impact on the current Phase 5 movies. So while Disney and Marvel have pumped the brakes, we don’t think the superhero genre needs a literal definition. storebut a reset makes sense, especially when Deadpool and Wolverine.

Like all these movies space ball or horror movie (P.S. We’d love to That The franchise’s return with “high horror”) doesn’t mark the end of the previous films; they both praise and subtly criticize the pinnacles their respective genres have reached in order to earn a seat at the table. One of the best things about when something becomes overly popular in movies is that you can laugh about it and wait for the return of an updated story and lessons learned from the mistakes.
This concludes the years since Disney took over Fox’s assets and the suggestion that the Marvel Cinematic Universe will finally change – previously we thought Wanda would be in Crazy multiverse, Or it will happen entirely in Loki Season 2 or there would be more X-Men end of block Miracle— is like the worst edge that only Deadpool can address and make fun of. As fans, we’re looking forward to stepping outside the fourth wall with Deadpool’s hand guiding us, Wolverine shortening the timeline, and finally breaking up the Marvel Universe as we know it so we can embrace new worlds .
