‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Roasting the MCU Is the Best Thing That Could Happen to Marvel Right Now

variety.com:

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer SPOILER WARNING: This story discusses all kinds of major plot details, including the post-credits scenes, in Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool & Wolverine,” currently playing in theaters.

Throughout “Deadpool & Wolverine,” Ryan Reynolds’ titular Merc with a Mouth exposes the Marvel Cinematic Universe to many things it’d never experienced before: rampant blood and gore, incandescent vulgarity, gleeful references to drug use and effusive descriptions of sexual practices between two men.

Perhaps most surprising, Deadpool’s self-aware snark is never sharper than when it’s slicing through the MCU. It may be the best thing that could’ve happened to Marvel at this moment in its history.

After Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) welcomes Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) to the MCU, he adds that it’s happening at a “low point” for Marvel, a piercing reference to the studio’s misbegotten 2023.
