Deadpool & Wolverine

a review by GenerationofSwine

It feels a bit rushed... but then it was rushed. It feels a bit neutered, but it's now Disney and they did muzzle it.

The thing is though... it's not woke, which is why you have articles criticizing it for "Not Being Gay Enough" and in 2024, that very literally translates to: "They focused on a story and characters rather than a political agenda and we're mad about it." Which, in turn, translates to "Actually entertaining."

It's amazing how articles complaining about a movie not being Gay enough can guarantee you that the movie is going to be good.

Only.... it's meh. I mean, when you compare it to most of the movies this year it's pretty epic. When you compare it to most of the post 2016 movies this is one of the greatest things ever made... but when you compare it to the other Deadpool movies it's rushed.

But... who cares, it literally doesn't have a point other than entertaining you, and that is really all that matters and all that I ask for.

Is it a cash grab? Yes, and I will GLADLY give them my money for another movie that just wants to entertain. And if they make another movie that wants to entertain and not push an agenda, I will gladly give them MORE of my money... because at the end of the day, entertainment has been in a decade long drought brought to you by political lecturing and nerd domains have been intentionally attacking fans rather than making movies, like this, that make fans want to give them their money.

So when a movie like this comes along, it is a wonderful thing.
