𝕭laze the 𝓐ction 𝕵unkie’s review published on Letterboxd:
The film itself, to me, represented a much-deserved vindication for all the misfit characters in Marvel cinematic history by giving them all well-deserved endings, even if that ending was getting flayed and popped like some kind of meat-bubble. I didn't enjoy this one as much as Logan, Infinity War or Endgame, but I do think I liked it better than Ragnarok which lands this one in my top 5 favorite Marvel flicks.

American Christian influencers - "Deadpool & Wolverine was made by the DEVIL!"
Me - "I guess I better go see this one then."
This was the first movie ticket I've afforded myself since No Way Home, and I think those might be the only two film's I've afforded myself a cinema ticket for since Endgame. Honestly I was ready to let this one hit home media before investing at all into it, but when I started to see the self-victimizing American religious-right whining in all their social media posts that this one was 'made by the devil' and 'mocking Christianity', I not only had to check it out but I was eager to throw my money at it in of it. All I can say about that is Yes, the Merc with a Mouth has jokes cracking at both the right and the left in this one. No, it did not seem to me that Reynolds's jokes about being 'Marvel Jesus' or the recreation of the cover of Uncanny X-Men #251 had anything to do with mocking the 2,000 year old fairy tales about the right's beloved sky-father. In fact, the right is surely just more mad about the pronoun usage or the quip listing the Left's complaints involving the right's policy decisions than they are about Deadpool describing himself as 'Marvel Jesus', but they're obviously not equipped to talk about why those issues matter. Deadpool has always made jokes at current events and current trends, that started with the comics, and not with Disney like these right-wing snowflakes pouting about some imagined slight in their social media posts would want everyone to believe. It's quite fitting and hilarious to me that it is in fact the same group of people taking offense to jokes in this movie who are also taking offense to the depiction of the Feast of Dionysus at the Paris Olympics, a notably very French painting of Greek Gods of ancient mythology aimed at representing the cultures of and Greece, where the first Olympics were held. I mean, how egotistical, egocentric, or narcissistic does a person have to be to literally think everything out in the world from the opening ceremony of the Olympics to new hit movies are being made purely to attack them? Where was this outrage when Trump tried a grift images of himself on a cross or as their savior or of his version of the image of the last supper???
