Deadpool & Wolverine is relentlessly irritating, with cheap jokes instead of stake
Warning: This review contains light spoilers about Deadpool & Wolverine. At the end of 2008’s Iron Man, there was a little moment where Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury approached Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark, speaking about “the Avengers initiative.” It catapulted fans into ecstasy and perplexed others left to ask, “Wait, who’s that guy?” Now, 16 years later, with audiences treated like rats pushing a lever for another morsel of food, we’ve reached the logical endpoint of this treatment. Deadpool & Wolverine is a movie made entirely of post-credits scenes. It is a carnival of in-jokes, self-references, and reality breaks with no higher purpose than to congratulate its audience for keeping up. It has no stakes, no drama, and only the most cynical applications of creativity. What’s most depressing is that it may end up making a billion dollars.
