Tribute

I laughed almost non-stop watching Deadpool & Wolverine. The crass and gross and the ridiculous are mixed in with just a bit of clever. And then there's the pure joy of watching to almost indestructible dudes killing each other in violent ways (it's a WB cartoon kind of fun).

But as always it's the layer below the humour that really hits. And in a prefect Deadpool way this one worked both in the movie but also on the meta level. It's the story of a failed superhero that the Avengers didn't want and whose girlfriend left. Here trying to save his world to save his friends. He gets a second chance at being who he always wanted to be but the price is abandoning everyone he came up with. MCU and Sacred Timeline is one person deal. But this is where Multiverse pays off. It means he can keep his friends and timeline. He just has to fight cybernocracy that would rather dismantle it instantly first.

And it's a story of a fallen studio which movies lost the audience and couldn't find the right way to tell it's stories (with extra layer of Disney's Marvel being on precipice of that too now). All it's properties buried and replaced for a new shinier thing. We could move on and only acknowledge the pieces that haven't been tarnished. And yet, this movie looks back at it all, and brings back the discarded ridiculed. Including the ones we never even got. Using Void to discard them and Alioth to eat them into oblivion is such a prefect metaphor you'd think it was invented for this Film. It's a prefect integration of MCU ideas for the plot of this one story.

The whole movie is practically a tribute to the early days of Marvel and superhero movies that created the momentum that MCU then built it's 30 billion empire on. This is what makes each cameo count. It isn't there just for a joke or Easter Egg moment but it ties to the theme of the story, We are revisiting the forgotten heroes, the fallen ones, the ones who never got to be. And if we are lucky the ones who still might be (please, please let us keep Daphne Keen).

It's also a reminder of how long both Jackman and Reynolds have been in this. The first X-Men movie came out 24 years ago. Reynolds was in Blade: Trinity 20 years ago. I don't think it's an accident a lot of those cameos went to the beginnings with Pyro and Electra. And even with the MCU actors reminding us they started in Fox as Evans came back as Johnny Storm. Even Jon Favreau cameo as Happy Hogan was a reminder he was once Foggy Nelson in Daredevil. This was reunion movie in more ways than one.

And the behind the scenes of those movies, the whole history of Fox Marvel films really hit you in the end. Even the failures like the last Fantastic Four. Even to the X-Men Origins: Wolverine and the Deadpool abomination there. This is what got us here. This is for all the fun we had over the years with these characters and superheroes in general. This was the start.

Of course, Deadpool wouldn't be Deadpool if they didn't desecrate and made fun of the very thing they were paying tribute too. Both the initial fight and any reference to Fox made sure of that. Reminding us that even the best parts of the past shouldn't be sacred. You should build new stories and not be afraid to change. There will be new Blade. And a new Johnny Storm. And maybe a new Deadpool and Wolverine one day too (long, long time from now apparently 😋).

And new universes give you new opportunities to meet people. Maybe even find a romance like B-15 and Peter. Or become a villain. I'm not sure how I feel about the Doom Announcement but let's see. This movie reminded us it's just one more "same face - different person" case in this multiverse.

I'm gonna be honest: I'm never gonna care about Elektra. An assassin or ninja or whatever who's violent and all that? Boring. I hate the dark, gritty characters. And she feels like one of them. At least Bullseye seems entertaining. She just seems boring. Less boring than the Punisher, mind you. But thst doesn't mean she isn't still boring. To be fair, I have a bias against Frank Miller. So maybe that bias is just why I don't like her. I don't know. I suppose it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. My opinions can be fickle, anyways. Maybe it'll change one day. Maybe it won't. I just wanted to ramble about how I still know very little about Elektra, and I'll probably only ever learn about her through wikis.

Not to be confused with the real life Typhoid Mary…history is weird.

So I knew of her as Typhoid in the uh…who remembers the Electra movie? I unironically like it, a lot of those marvel movies from that time period I unironically like…maybe cause its less bloody homework and bloated like a dying blue whale!

-cough- I like drawing crazy chicks get to do crazy unhinged faces are fun, and boy does she make some. Also she does the half pants half shorts thing ala Zack Ryder from wwe which I just found out doesn't do anymore…THANKS HARTLY! -deep breath- I thought the outfit was very 2000s ish and fun to draw…and she also does fire…who doesn't love crazy chicks who can wield fire? Look how many people love Azula.

Electra: You don’t necessarily show the best judgement when beautiful queens are involved.

Pouncival: It’s not always–

Tumblebrutus: No, it is! If there’s a stunning queen in the room, Pouncival is gonna find her, and the rest of us are gonna have to put up with you!
