Ive been saying that. If the new Blade is gonna be a s*** show, just put in Wesley Snipes again. Make 1 and 2 canon and have this be a send off or passing of the torch.

The bad thing is, is that disney has been beating the "passing the torch" storyline to death already.

It played everything extremely safe and bland.

The Wolverine's origin story that they allude to is incredibly basic and hardly even his fault, which goes against part of the whole character's arc.

It simultaneously wants to be a reviving of the Fox universe while also being very over the topic and in your face about it being a "goodbye" to that universe.

The cameos were surprisingly underwhelming outside of one or two (Snipes/Evans). None of them were used as effectively as NWH and they felt very much (to me) like slightly better Multiverse of Madness-esque cameos.

And lastly, for a Deadpool & Wolverine Join the MCU movie, they didn't interact with.....any of the MCU? Why was Hulk given a cameo but we don't get to see Wolverine fight him? Marvel owns all the characters now??? Do something with him if you show him???? Hulk got the biggest cheer in the audience because you could tell everyone expected something to be done with it.

This film did to me with Marvel what I feel like Rise of Skywalker did to me with Star Wars

Insane that it’s been 5 years since Mahershala was cast as Blade and he’s only appeared off screen in one post credit scene

Meanwhile f***ing Wesley Snipes appears in this as a whole supporting character

The tribute to the Fox movies at the end was a nice touch and a very classy thing to do. The Fox movies had a lot of misses but overall, I'm glad we got some type of closure.

kinda how i view, it was on par with phase 2 for me as well

On a real life level, Marvel and Sony aren’t playing by the same rules.

On an in universe story level, I think it’s the way they are traveling the multiverse.

The way they do in Spider-Verse is via these portals that were created by technology. While yes the TVA is also using technology, it’s completely different and they are an organization that exists outside of time and are the ones who oversee the multiverse. So they should know how to travel between universes safely.

In No Way Home, the other variants travelled the multiverse using magic, not technology. Nothing happened to them either.

So there’s clearly many different ways to travel the multiverse (technology, magic, dreamwalking, etc.). Spider-Verse just seems to be using technology that hasn’t been perfected yet (well without those bands).

To rub salt into the wound, Snipes boasts about how he'll always be the only Blade

I hit a light gasp when that line hit. Like s*** that’s a pretty definitive statement to make when you have a guy who’s been waiting 5 years to make his movie

fassbender magneto in this wouldve hit was definitely expecting to see more xmen in this

some mfers are still trying to ice skate uphill

Ok 2/3 of the way through and holy s*** is channing Tatum perfect casting for gambit

Can't do it here. Pm me

did

TI got a bag from marvel??? I know he happy

He was in the first two Ant-Man movies man

got one for other mv?

The plot stinks
The villain stinks

The jokes and nostalgia carries the movie

the tribute in the credits was so good man

i’ll always love the x men movies so much

true

Ngl this was kinda ass until the third act

Just go to fmovies

It wasn’t a reviving of the Fox universe, it was totally and completely a goodbye to it. The montage in the credits proves that.

And to your last point, like many others have said ITT, this was never really marketed as a “Deadpool Joins the MCU” movie. Even the director himself said he doesn’t consider the film to be a part of any MCU Phase, and that they didn’t set out to make a “Marvel movie”.

It's just that legally, Marvel Studios now owns the rights to the character so of course it will be under their umbrella.

Also, it was mostly first reactions hyping it up as some big next step for the MCU, the marketing never did that

"Totally and completely a goodbye to it."

"Til you're 90!"
