Deadpool and Wolverine It is both the beginning and the end. Ryan Reynolds’ third film about Marvel’s mercenary with a mouth is about the character single chip debut, but it also closes the book Fox Era superhero movie. It’s not particularly well-acted either, instead serving mostly as a vessel for endless cameos and increasingly tired meta-jokes. But in the last few minutes of the movie, actually during the credits, Deadpool and Wolverine Giving the Fox era the send-off it deserved.
When the long-awaited return of Reynolds’ Deadpool and Jackman’s Wolverine (well, they both X-Men Origins: Wolverine But let’s not talk about that movie) Towards the end, the credits started rolling, which contained a surprise for fans. There’s a montage next to the names of the countless people who worked on the film. This is not a prank scroll Deadpool and Wolverine Or a hilarious post-credits scene (although, the movie still has one at the end). Instead, it’s a montage of iconic moments and behind-the-scenes footage spanning the entire catalog of Fox’s Marvel films. If you grew up watching them will Make you cry.
The end credits, set to Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life),” are a loving farewell to non-Marvel movies. Over the course of a few minutes, we saw X-Men Movie, Fantastic Four (two iterations), dead Pool Movies and more. It’s all intertwined with behind-the-scenes footage of the actors who brought these beloved characters to life, smiling and having fun while making what will become iconic films. Watching Ian McKellen do costume testing for Magneto’s helmet hit me hard. Seeing Reynolds so excited to talk about playing Deadpool even in origin It is also meaningful, showing how long he has invested in this role.
What’s special about it is that it doesn’t just focus on the good. Of course, there’s a lot of room in the montage for 2000 X-Men movies and X-Men: First Classbut you’ll also see clips from what are widely regarded as the worst parts of Fox’s catalog, e.g. X-Men Origins: WolverineJosh Trank Fantastic Fourand X-Men: Dark Phoenix. It’s a celebration of everything good and bad that has come from superheroes through trial and error into the modern era. As Ryan Reynolds says Instagram post celebrate Deadpool and WolverineAfter its release, it was a “fun, weird, imbalanced, and risky world” created by 20th Century Fox.
just disappointing Deadpool and Wolverine It couldn’t possibly be such a heartfelt farewell in itself. The film retains the constant meta-jokes, violence, and Easter eggs found in the first two installments dead Pool The movie lacks the same heart. Deadpool and Wolverine Abandoning the emotional core behind Deadpool’s humor in favor of purely appealing to the most tired parts of fan culture. It constantly uses cameos and references to other Fox and Marvel Cinematic Universe projects as crutches instead of building a compelling story of its own. blade He showed up and it was so cool and he said something that made you laugh in 1998! Yet his character means nothing to him Deadpool and Wolverine As a story of its own. This is true for most of the cameos that appear.
Deadpool and Wolverine Failing to give those films that came out before the farewell the farewell they deserved, so this film adds a montage at the end to do the job. It’s a wonderful montage and it really reminded me of the importance of the Fox era, but it doesn’t change the fact that the emotion only comes from footage of those movies, not from Deadpool and Wolverine.
