Just got out of a second showing. Was still smiling the whole way through. Really can’t remember the last time a movie had me like that.

Glad to hear. I was grinning from ear to ear on first viewing and can’t wait to see it again.

As a film it may be flawed but as an experience it’s a 10/10 from me.

Likewise. But I hate Tom Holland as both Peter and Spidey. Doesn’t act like the character at all.

This is a much better film than NWH and I liked NWH. I felt aunt May’s death it was very powerful but ultimately NWH is another messed entry in their Multiverse crap.

I honestly can’t get this movie out of my head it was super entertaining.

The 'Anchor being' concept was just a meta joke highlighting that all fox-men movies and spinoffs were wolverine centric and once Jackman killed the character off in Logan it was inevitable that the fox x-men universe would eventually run out of steam. It is not meant to be taken seriously in the context of the story as it just doesnt really work that way.

Paradox (Feige) and his TVA team represent the MCU execs behind the scenes and their world ending device is the Fox corporate merger / buy out by Disney which brings the fox universe to an end (Feige's decision) earlier than it would have done if left to run out its natural course and eventual collapse without Jackman.

The Deadpool movies are the one anamoly in the Fox universe because they were driven by Reynolds (not the fox execs) and were successful without wolverine. Feige wants Reynolds in the MCU (Paradox's offer) but Reynolds will only do it if he gets to put Jackman's wolverine in his movie. Reynolds then makes a movie which is essentially a love letter to the Fox universe which has no impact on the MCU at all other than to bring all of the fox characters under the MCU banner. You can tell from the marketing and Fiege's comments that he wants people to belive that this is next unmissable part in his MCU story but that's not what Reynold's delivered. Instead Reynold's deadpool essentially uses the movie as a vehicle to save the Fox characters because now they are part of the MCU library and mulitiverse thereby connecting all of their movies to a film universe that is continuing and not dead.

Reynolds literally persauded jackman to come back for one last wolverine centric fox movie which saved the fox universe. It's a bit on the nose but I just really like the ideas in play and it's why I can give a pass to the 'thin' movie plot because it was essentially just a thinly veiled representation of what actually happened behind the scenes.

I don't think that's Jye. When he was banned he got replaced. I would say that's fake Jye.

This was a 2 hour version of this...

disguised as a movie.

And the timeline/multiverse parts are all over the place.
