20th Century Fox has entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Yes, the release of Deadpool & Wolverine has ushered in a new era for the MCU, one that showcased two of Fox’s most successful superheroes in a whole new world. With the film doing huge business at the box office, it only makes sense to ask you all about it for the Awards Radar Community Question. So, here goes: if you saw the movie, what did you think of it?
For those who didn’t see my review here, it began like so:
Marvel has been trying to recapture the magic lately. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has taken some hits recently, leading to changes in how the films will be coming out, as well as potentially what they will be about. So, there’s been a lot riding on Deadpool & Wolverine this year, as a chance for the MCU to, if not start fresh, but to get back on track. The introduction of Deadpool into the Marvel world was always going to be a different look for the franchise. Well, I’m here to tell you that not just is this a really fun Deadpool sequel, by adding in Wolverine, we have a full on Fox tribute. Lo and behold, it works even better than I was expecting/hoping for.
Deadpool & Wolverine is a love letter to the Fox era of superheroes, far beyond the two title characters. I wouldn’t dream of revealing the cameos here, but they’re not just huge crowdpleasers, they’re better fits than you might assume. They don’t feel crammed in or just meant to get a reaction. They fit a narrative purpose, which I very much appreciated. Fans are in for a treat, that much is pretty certain.
Now, that’s my take. What about yours? We’re here to find out your reaction to Deadpool & Wolverine. Did you love it? Did you hate it? If it’s somewhere in between, that’s cool too. Whatever your take on the film is, we’re keen to find out. So, don’t be shy, let loose with your thoughts, and prepare for more discussion on the next episode of the Awards Radar Podcast…
