    Amen! Audiences today are such snowflakes that this movie would be immediately cancelled.

      I’m boycotting watching the movie by seeding several torrents of it to show other people how much I disapprove

    The thing that makes me cackle about this movie, as a Fandom!Old, is that it’s basically written as the crackiest crack-ship you could ever find on AO3.

    And yet…it’s had one of the biggest box-offices ever.

    This brings me no end of glee.

      Fandom!Old = one who has been in a certain fandom for a long time.

      Crack-ship = Shipping is a romantic and/or sexual pairing of two fictional characters. A crack-ship is a ship that makes no logical sense, as if it was conceived with heavy drug use, or made “on crack”.

      AO3 = Archive of Our Own, a website for fanfictions, fan art, fan videos, and other fan-produced content for various different fandoms. One may find many crack-ships here.

        I think a ship between deadpool and Wolverine makes a lot of sense though. At least from the perspective of it being a piece of entertainment media. They have experiences they share exclusively, as well as personal, natural ones. They have a lot in common, in terms of interest, history, social circles. They also have very divergent personalities. It is perfect ship material.

    Looking at the thumbnail and I thought it was going to be a weird AI homoerotic photo of the two. Nope just a homoerotic photo of the two from the movie.

    So, ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ will have to be kept safe in the vault with other classics like “Blazing Saddles,”

    Funny that the article mentions that as the theater I went to had an ad for an event screening of Blazing Saddles before Deadpool & Wolverine started

    Movies definetly successful but I tend to rapidly lose interest in these multiple timeline/dimension plots. I switched off completely when Loki, Spiderman, Dr Strange and now Deadpool have used the same plot.

    I can’t argue with success though so maybe it’s a me thing.

      I don’t get the downvotes, you just stated your opinion. I personally can’t get enough of multiuniverse time line shenanigans. It’s great we live in a world where we both can find the type of media we love at relatively high quality.

      Pretty sure they even say in the movie that they should stop with the multiverse stuff.

      The movie was fantastic. If you didn’t see it, I highly recommend it. It’s not really about multiple timelines, even tho that’s a plot point.
